ONE Of the first pure American charac-
teristics developed by the knights Of
Labor is the formation of political
party. All the strikes and bOycotts have
an European faint, but to rush into the
political arena to seek the redress Of
wrongs is simon-pure Americanism. 1t
is there where they can make their pow
er felt, and it is there where they can
win If led by brains.

IL THEIR utterances in the halls Of
Congress, on the Blair bill, the Texas
delegation by no means viOce the senti-
ments OF the South, neither of their own
Democratic constituency. The Times
Democrat, OF New Orleans, one OF the
most influential newspapers south OF
Mason and Dixon's line, is Outspoken in
favor Of the bill. This is not the first
time that Texas Democrats "put their
foot in 1t when they opened their
mouth" To prove this you have but to
compare the platform adopted by the
State Convention that sent delegates TO
tina last Democratic Convention in Chi
cago, with that adopted by the National
Democracy. The Texa, Democrats are
not the only ones in the United States.

LITTLE is heard by the silver advo-
Gates in regard to the proposed interna-
tional Congress Of American nations.
One of the most important questions
that must come before this proposed
Congress will be fixing the interchang-
able price Of the silver CurrenCies. The
taking at par or nearly at par OF foreign
American silver coin would have the eff
feet to food this country with it, and to
that extent still farther depreciate
among us the bullion value Of that
metal. 1t is II question to be deter
mined whether the increased trade that
is expected to follow such concession
of recognized value Of foreign money
would over balance the loss caused by
the influx OF the silver. Here, on the
borders Of Mexico, there is no doubt as
to the beneficial effects of such an ar
rangenent Trade would be largely
stimulated by the taking of Mexican sill

New York Letter; About the most

1t is very bad, peryerse, ill-behaved

to get some money for the fusioniBts in

ed by the commission in putting up the

Mr.. Matthews says all he got out OF
the position was his per diem and that
he was compelled to discount fifty per
cent of that. 1t is unfortunate for Mr..
Matthews that he was placed in bad
company. He has always been deemed
man of honor and integrity and has
never before been in position
where he needed to explain. The acts
of his associates brought about this
necessity.
