The SILVER QUESTION.

Before President Cleveland had Ia
ken his scat he had come to an open
rupture with large portion of his
party in Congress on the silyes cues
tion.
The silver men," as they are desig-
mated. wrote the then President elect,
requesting that he should not commit
himself az present as to the suspension
of silver coinage. Mr.. Cleveland de-
cliued to comply with their request,
and IN his direct and unequivo-
cal way wrote letter in which he
took the position that the coinage of
silver dollars should be suspended.
He favors bimetalic standard but
thinks gold will be driven out of the
country and the value of the currency
deprecated 10y the unlimited coinage
of silve..
To this letter the silver men" re-
piled at length, urging contrary
opinion. Mr.. Reagan, OF Texas, made
a seperate statement in which he took
she ground that the President had
departed entirely from the Democratic
principle on this question.
The question promises to play a
very important part in the politics OF
the immediate future.

IT WAS reported last week that Mr..
Cleveland was hesitating between
Judge Endicott and Mr.. Collins, both
of Massachusetts, for a Cabinet posi-
ton. The Avalanche found food for
reflection in this, Endicott being a
descendant of the puritan who cut
the cross from the flag, and Collins an
Irish Catholic. Our Memphis cOntem-
porary might have pursued its cogita-
tions still further. The President ia
himself a combination OF these two
elements. His paternal stock were
New Englanders of the Puritan type,
and has mother was a member of an
Irish family who resided in Catholic
Baltimore.

"The night hath a thousand eyes,

The heart but one;
Yet the light Of a whole life dies,

The ball room is at last in readiness
for is many distinguished guests. At
least ten thousand people are expected
to attend, and under the dazzling
electric lights the scene will be truly
brilliant. The walls are draped with
velvet bordered with gold, elegant silk
banners, and patriotic designs. Huge
plate glass mirrors are placed here
and there, and flowers will be every
where. A mammoth floral chair will
be placed at one end of the hall for
the President, and superbly fur
nished room has been prepared for
his temporary use. The ventilation,
heating and'lighting capabilities of the
ball room have been tested, and found
nearly perfect. No matter how many
persons attend, the hall will not be
crowded. The gallery alone can seat
three Thousand persons, and five thous-
and can easily waltz at once in the space
allotted to dancing, and there will he
abundant room for promenaders. 1t
is estimated that six hundred persons
can be served at the same time in the
supper rooms. A fire company will
be kept constantly on duty in the
building.
There is some talk of opening the
ball room on the fifth of March for a
small fee, so that those who felt unable
to pay five or ten dollars for admission
to the regular ball, might at least be
gratified with a sight of the decora-
lions, and wander around in the
banquet hall deserted"

Col. CoLYAR is trying to save his
head from the guillotine that awaits
all who are tainted with the Peniten-
tiary barbarities by some very shrewd
special pleading. He says, IN speaking
of himself in this connection: at is a
fact well known to his co-directors
that he made repeated arguments
against making this lease, and only
yielded when the fact was ascertained
that he was almost if not quite alone.
Facts since confirm rather than shake
his opinion" You should have re-
manned in this frame OF mind, Colonel,
and deported yourself accordingly.
But in your capacity as editor of the
American and as an attorney you have
used every means in your power to
keep down the revelations made by
the Banner. You are one of the ring,
Colonel, and your head must roll of.

Tribune & Sun: A number of
prospeetoys from the North and

THE PENrrENrrARY.


THE CHRONICLE has quietly awaited
the sworn testimony in the penitentia-
~ matter before expressing any opin-
ion sta the truth OF she charges that
have been made. A sufficiency of
such evidence has been brought out
to justify us in speaking. In fact, our
silence would no longer be justified.
We now say without hesitation that
the convicts in the branch prisons of
the State are subjected to inhuman
treatment and that those institutions
are disgrace to civilization. The ev-
idence produced in the libel suit
against the editors of the Banner is
our authority for this assertion. 1t
appears therein that the conviets in
these branch prisons are ill-fed, badly
clothed, over taxed in their work and
beaten. without mercy when such
tasks are not ACCOMPLISHED. That
they are frequently made to work ON
Sunday, that their feet are often fro
zen from exposure, that they are fore
ed to sleep in the wet clothes in which
they have worked all day in water,
and that their sleeping apartments are
crowded and filthy. This is bad
enough, and sufficient ground for the
opinion we have expressed above, but
it is not all There are individual in
stances of extreme cruelty, and where
death has resulted from whippings
The worst feature of the whole affair,
and which better than anything else
proves the utter depravity OF these
places, was brought out in the .testimo-
ny of Dr. Marks, brother of the ex-
Governor. He swore that he treated
ii boy convict for loathsome disease
which he thought had been contracted
by the practice of an unnatural crime.
The State cannot tolerate a continu-
arfce of these denominations, and all
! who are responsible should be made
to answer for what has been already
done. We speak in the interest OF no
party or faction. 1t is simply matter
of humanity and it involves the good
name. of the State.
The life OF convict should not be
that OF a sybarite. The sentance to
hard labor should be carried out in
the strictest manner in every instance,
but at the same time the Penitentiary
ought to be made reformatory instr
tuition and not "a school for crime"
We should not attempt to revive the
horrors which the galley slaves OF past
ages were made to endure, nor should
we initiate in our prison arrangements
those hcrrid receptacles for Russian
cOnvicts in Siberia.

The devil appeared in the fact that he

General Grants Condition.
lBy telegraph 10 the Dispatch.


NEW YORK, April 2l.-At midday
General Grant left his house and passed
down the steps to the family carriage,
which was in waiting. He lifted his
hat in recognition of salutations from a
group of watchers across the street.
He was followed by his son Ulysses,
his wife, and Mrs. Jesse Grant. Harri-
son mounted the box and the party were
driven up Fifth avenue and entered the
park.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon General
Grant took walk OF four blocks and
return. He used cane and walked
slightly limping, but there was nothing
of tottering feebleness, and as he was
congratulated during the little walk he
responded with THANK you" in a
voice that was clear and firm. DR..
Douglas said to-day that the General
slept through the night without dis
turbing him even once, and that he was
much improved after his drive yester-
day. AS far as can be Cleaned from
the increased amount of exercise taken
by the General, the Doctor thinks he is
gaining in bodily strength. The SWELL
ing at the base Of the tongue, however,
still continues, with some little slough
ing.

said: Although the General feels no
worse after his ride and walk. there is
