The New York Free Thinkers, In State convention
assembled have resolved that 1t is time to substl-

"secular societies" for the present solemn rites

1t is stated by authority from Madrid that
Germany proposes to ask for conference of
the Continental Powers and the United
States, at Paris or Vienna, to lay
down principles 10 govern the acquisi-
tion of territory in the Pacific. The United
States should decline to be party to
any such conference. A grave mistake was
made when Secretary Frelinghuysen sent a
representative of the United States to attend
the Congo Conference. The Pacific Islands
are little nearer home, and the United
States should not sanction by its presence at
Congress of Nations any propositions tend
ing to further colonization in the Pacific ty
European powers.

ssry, but Congress, net the Treasurer, will
supply them. No, the real object that
Treasurer Jordan has in view is to bring
about the single gold standard. To this end
the New York Herald thunders editorially
and foams in frothy interviews. 1t cracks
its editorial whip over the Democratic party
and bids it adopt the Republican financial
plank Of 1884, "the inflexible adjustment Of
" the currency to the single standard Of
"gold," or else abe overwhelmingly and
igucminiously defeated in November"
And what do the bankers and merchants

regular as dress parades in an army garrison
Do they bear ont the Herdids assertion that
silver coin must be banished from circula-
tion Not at all. With some exceptions
the demand of the merchant is for small
bills, not gold. The main objection urged
by the average merchant is weight, not
value. The trade dollars, of greater in
trinsic value, they will not take at all.
And this obnoxious quality of weight many
Of the bankers interviewed propose TO in

Tho New York Tribune boists the danger
signal and warns outside Republicans to
hasten to Ohio and " raise the canvass to
"the plane of national politics" The
Tribune has evidently paid but little atten-
tion to the Republican canvass in Ohio.
Sherman and Foraker have approached State
affairs with the fear and trembling the
Gar of all the Russias feels when he takes
an airing, and have shouted themselves
hoarse in vain efforts to convince the people
that the nation was in peril. But the 7ri-

The new Russian-Afghan frontier is very
many miles south Of the frontier originally
marked out by England, and is in many
respects identical with that proposed by NJ.
Lessar, the Russian agent, who was sent to
England early in the boundary dispute to
look after Russian interests there. The new
boundary brings Russia very much nearer
Herat, and therefore so much nearer Eng.
lands Indian Empire. Those who regard
with distrust Russia S steady advance in the
direction of India are dissatisfied with the
settlement of the Afghan boundary in this
way, and do not hesitate to say that England
has been outwitted. 1t is evident TO all that
England has lost prestige in the East of
late. After threats and bluster about what
she would do in case of Russia's persisting
in her advance toward her frontier, she has
by protocol surrendered what was imme-
diately at stake. As for the value of treaty
between the two powers, every one knows
that European treaties last so long only as
all the high contracting parties see ft to
keep them. Apparently Lord Salisbury has
obtained the best settlement of the Afghan
frontier question which was possible without
repudiatiDg the engagements of his prede.
cessor. And the exact line obtained proba-
bly, matters little, as the greal Central Asian
conflict is not averted, but only postponed.

a hundred umes more difficult to abstract
than bills. Is II on the ground Of the cost Of

The truth is there Is not sufficient gold in
this country, and will not be for long time
to come, II ever, to supply the basis of cir
culating medium. Specie payments were
reached after a struggle that ruined many,
but only through the maintenance of BIZ
metallic standard. Without silver resump.
tion would never have been achieved, and
probably could not now be maintained.
The question of the relative amounts Of
greenbacks," gold, and silver that are
necessary for the large and constantly in.

and the relative and shifting values of gold
and silver in connection Herewith, is one to
be decided by the people in Congress as.

system, the wishes of the people can best be

the height of folly for the great silver-pro-
ducing country Of the world 10 do anything
short of absolute necessity to depreciate the
value Of silver. Congress will convene in
less than three months, when the Executive
will doubtless advise it fully of his views,
and the currency question will be amply
discussed, and, We trust, judiciously dis
posed Of. In the meantime we enter protest
