European nations, a new ratio nigh
possibly be established and gold and
silver be placed side by side as in thu
past; but while gold and silver were
differently rated in the market, nj
single power in the world could bring
them together, and if the United
States attempted it, it would reach
finally single silver basis, thus de-
taching this country from the com
mercial relations of the world.
He had no objection whatever tc
the issue of silver certificates or
bullion in the treasury at it's marke,
value.
The United States should have
done as the Latin nations did, moi
coin any more silver than was neces
sary for ordinary transactions. On
the balances of silver bullion, certifi-
Gates could have been issusd from the
beginning, and could now. The pro
position of the Senator from Texas
would dissipate the gold now held fol
the redemption of legal tender notes,
and wonld draw it abroad and into
banks, to be boarded, and then when
solhe black Friday came there would
be gap between coin and legal
tender notes, and gold and silver bull
lion would be at a premium.
He was willing to do all that can be
done to maintain silver, provided the
Senate stands by him in maintaining
the two metals at par with each other,
until, by common consent of the ma
tions of the world, there may be a
ratio fixed approaching the present
one.
Allison said he had voted for Beck s
amendment respecting silver, and saw
nothing in it that had tendency
in the slightest degree to alarm
the people OF the country as
respects silver coinage. The silver
legislation of 1873 had been, he
thought, fully and thoroughly justi-
fed. 1t would not have been possible
to have maintained resumption with
out it. lie wanted to say to all bust
ness men who might be alarmed lest
we coined million or two OF silver
this year more than We ought to,
that there would be an outflow OF
gold. He would not say what
would happen if we should 80 adjust
our internal affairs as respects the rev.
enue laws as to change the balance OF
trade against us, because when that
time comes when we become debtor
nation inste ID of a creditor nation,
whether or not gold would go then, he
was not prepared to say. While he
was as ready as any other Senator
to find just cause of alarm
as respects the situation of our cur
rency, he did not believe the added
coin which would result from
Beck's amendment would amount to
the one thousandth part Of cent per
annum as respects the great meas
ure's value which now adjusts all our
affairs.
MCPHERSON moved to add to the
bill, "providei that nothing in this
act shall authorize the Secretary of
the Treasury to coin more than four
million dollars worth per month";"
Stewart moved to lay the amend
ment on the table, and with this ac-
ton the Senate adjourned.

The first resolution endorses Presi-

The third is as follows: "That we
most earnestly and unqualifiedly en-
dorse the policy of tariff revision and
reduction OF the surplus revenue

ment economically administered.
as set forth in the Presidents
last annual message to Con-
gress. We believe such revision is
dictated by sound policy, and that un-
necessary taxation is unjust taxation
and oppression, and public revenue
should as far as possible be derived
from taxes levied upon luxuries rather
than the necessities of life.''
The fourth section demands the for
feiture of unearned land grants aud

this subject.
The fifth section holds that Congress
should let the pension rpll be the roll

CHICAGO, April 4.-The final result
Of the meetings OF employees of the
various roads in the city, which began
yesterday afternoon and lasted until a
late hour last night, was announced
this morning in the declaration that
the boycott of 20" cars has been per-
manently raised and that henceforth
the contest will be confined strictly to
the 90" system. All strikes except
the 20" were to stop forthwith, and
all those which were imminent were
to be ayerted. The business of Chi
cago is to be restored and maintained
by the strikers with strict decorum.
Other roads were absolved from the
requirement of strict neutrality, and
violence is to be discountenanced, &C.
cording to the we'll known policy OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers. The arrangements agreed
upon. it is stated, are directly due to
the exertions of Chief Arthur Of the
Brotherhood of Engineers, Grand
Master Sargent OF the Firemen, Grand
Master Monaghan OF the Switchmen's g
Association, Mayor Roche and Mark
Crawford; also representative switch
men.
THE FINAL DECISION
Was reached by the mass meeting
held with closed doors last evening
and which was addressed by General
Manager Jefferys, of.the Illinois Cen
trail. Fifteen hundred railway en-
ployes we're present at the meeting,
representing elements which had pre-
viously been at times antagonistic.
Grand Master Sargent, OF the Fire
mems Brotherhood, was the first
speaker. He stated that he came not
only as representative OF the fire.
men, but also to voice the views of
Chief Arthur OF the engineers. The
strike on the Burlington was a just
cause and they had used every honor
able means to treat with the company.
With such record behind them, il
would not be proper for the strikers to
stand by and see helpless people suf'
fer from the base practices OF the
company.

The Election tn "Little Rh0dy.,
Providence, r.. l., April 4.-The
weather to-day was fair and the cleo
tion for State officers progressed
quietly. A tremendous vote was
polled in this city. Enos Lapham,
Republican candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, was badly scratched.
Later-The State election went Re.
publican by about 1900 on the gen.
raj ticket, and the Republicans had a
sweeping victory on the legislature.
The proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution abolishing real estate qualifi-
cation for foreign-born voters will
probably not get the necessary two
thirds vote. The vote for Governor
was: Tuft, (Republican) 2O,76S; Da-
Wis, (Domocrat) 17,444; Gould, (Pro-
hibition) 1,345; majority for Tuft,

LONDON, April A correspondent
of the Pail Mall Gazette had an inter-
view with Gen. Boulanger in Paris
last evening. In regard to his candi-
dacy for the Chamber Of Deputies in
the Department of Nord, and his rea-
sons for not going there to conduct
his canvass, he said that he was not
like an ordinary candidate; he did
not appeal to the electors on petty de-
partmental questions, but as a re-
preventative of a great principle
The principal he represented, he
said, was revision OF the Constitu-
tion. The Chamber Of Deputies had
been striken with impotence and no
longer represented the people; in a
dissolution of the Chamber and re-
vision of the Constitution was the
only remedy for the evil. Being
asked to explain the basis of his plan
of revision, he said, "That is my
secret, which l shall keep to myself"

4 WRETCHED ANNIVERSARY.

II is not pleasant to be told that the first
anniversary of the execution of the Anarchists
is to be celebrated on November ii by their
friends who have the fortune to survive them
beside the dishonored graves where they lie
buried. Fischer, Spies Lingg, Engel and Par
sons were not hanged as Anarchists, but as
murderers. The law had ignored the opinions
they assumed to hold, but when brutal and
bloody crime was committed in the name OF
those opinions, Justice appeared upon the
scene and, though often baked, at last ex-
acted her due. 1t may be thought small mat
ter that misguided associates should assemble
TO commemorate their taking-off, and so it
would be if they came together to mourn in
quiet. But their purpose is very different
one Perhaps the law cannot interfere, but
none the less their spirit is a defiance of the
law. They will gather to gorify the desperate
assumptions which the muderers were wont to
call their principles, and to defame the civil
order which they attempted to overthrow. The
celebration will be service Of praise and chill
dren are to be brought to sing around the
graves
Unfortunately, moreover, the anniversary

who have no sympathy with the teachings of
Anarchy will find leisure to crafty their curl
osity. In its outward aspects the scene may
be more or less imposing; it will be made to
appear that the public is deeply concerned, and
feeble minded dupes Of the Anarchist leaders
will listen eagerly to glowing tales Of the num-
bels aud influence and growth Of the order.
Once more, then, it is important to remind
every honest citizen that the men who were
hanged year ago in Chicago were not mar
tyrs but murderers; that the " cause' for which
they died is the cause of ignorance masquerad-
ing as science, of selfishness assuming to be
philanthropy, Of brutality and boodshed and
at last Of universal misery.

ring the bell and walk quietly away, ii is within
his power to do as much rs one man can in the
way Of petty annoyance. No residence is so
well supplied with servants that constant sue
cession of unnecessary demands upon the time
of some one of them may not seriously disar-
range the domestic economy and produce fric-
ton evaporation and discomfort; while the
strain upon simpler and buster lives becomes
absolutely dsheartening.
If those who are primarily responsible for
such impertinent infections are convinced that
they are profitable, we are not sangune enough
to imagine that they will cease. An argument
to the contrary cannot, in the nature of things
be mathematcally conclusive; but we are
greatly mistaken if the business establishments
thus exploited are not regarded with positive
resentment and avoided with persistent and
conscientious care by every self-respecting
sufferer.

the agitation for unrestricted revision. BY the
articles of the Constitution the two Chambers
when convened in National Assembly have
absolute power to decree any changes which
thew NAV deem expedent. Concurrent action
of the two Chambers is dispensed with when
the Congress has once opened The Senators
are outnumbered by the Deputies, and ma
iority vote of the united body of Legislators
suffices for effecting any modification OF the
Constitution. So helpless is the Upper House
that its own abolition may be decreed by the
Deputies without successful resistance on its
own part In these circumstances IT has been
impracticable in the past to induce the Senate
70 consent to enter the National Assembly with
out the previous passage OF bill limiting the
scope of revision This has been done on the
three occasions when the Constitution has been
altered Floquet adheres to this policy now;
but il may safely be assumed that the Bou-
langists who do not know what they want and,
indeed cannot unite upon common policy,
will cry aloud for a Congress that will not be
hampered by any restrictions. They have been
clamorng for revision. Now they will insist
upon having free and untrammelled Congress.
Floquet's success in this crisis of the public
life of France will depend upon the attitude of
the od-time Opportunists. If conservative
and tmorous Republicans can be convinced
that a triumph of the Monarchists and Bou-
langists can only be averted by partial se-
vision of the Constitution before the approach
ing elections, they may give their consent to
the passage of the bill. The large body OF
Radicals controlled by the Premier and nj. de
Freycinet will welcome the proposed measure,
since it tends to lessen the importance Of the
Senate Moderate Republicans may consider
it prudent to unite with them, even though
appalled, by the prospect of weakening the
powers of the Senate now strongly Republican,
on the eve of general elections which may
place the Monarchsts in control of the Lower
House.

REVISION IN TRANCE.

Floquets proposals for a revision Of the
French Constitution are offered in anticipation
of the general elections of next year. Bou-
langsm has shown that the Nation is not salts
fed with the form and operation of existing
institutions. The warning factions, which have
supported the political adventurer, have united
in protest against the Constitution as it is.
How and where they would alter it they have
not declared The Monarchists and Radicals
cannot agree upon any practical scheme Of re-
vision, but they are able to join in an effective
agitation against the present system. Floquet
has perceived the necessity Of making conces-
sions to these disaffccted classes of electors.
He can do this with dignity, since he advO-
Gated revision when he announced his first
Ministerial programme. He meets the agitators
who have been demanding a session Of the
National Assembly with definite scheme, and
challenges them to declare their purposes and
to explain in detail what changes in the Con-
stitution they really favor.
II is probable that the reply of the Bou-
laDgists to this challenge will be renewal Of
