dent and Mr.. Blaine maintain an eloquent
silence. 1t is known that the withdrawal
OF the appointments was largely due to the
emphatic protest which General Boynton
the well-known correspondent of the Gin
clnnatl Commercial Gazette, made to the
President against Mr.. Beverly Tucker
General BoyntOn is Blaine man, and it is
limited that Mr.. Blaine is very angry that
the President allowed himself to be in
Huenced in the matter by an outsider
against the chief member of his cabinet
Such an episode in most cabinets would re
suit in a resignation, but it is not believed
that Mr.. Blaine is willing to let go so
easily.

British Metallic Standard.

LONDON, May 3O.-Lord Salisbury, re-
plying to a deputation in favor of the
metallic standard of currency, said he did
not think a parliamentary decree would
settle the question, but that the opinion of
the people, founded on the business inter
ests, must decide it. He hoped the coming
congress at Paris would really be an inter
national one, and that final decision
would depend on how far the nations would
cooperate.

Why Not?

Nearly four years ago, at the starting of
the Chautauqua, it was understood that the
valley portion of the property purchased
for the purpose should be applied to the
establishment of park. But, as yet, moth
ing has been done in that direction. The
Real Estate Association has laid out Union
street through the field to the Chaulauqua
grounds, and has mapped the portion west
of the street into lots which are now Of
fered for sale. 1t has also agreed to
straighten the street from Pettits lower
corner to the mill, and give all the ground
north of this street to the Assembly
grounds. This leaves the balance of the
valley in good shape for a park. The in
debtedness of the Real Estate Association
and the Chautauqua is, in round numbers,
$2,5OO The portion of land proposed
hereby to be made park, soy twenty to
twenty five acres is reasonably worth ST.
10000. Now, why should not the city as
sumo the payment of this debt, and the
Real Estate Association convey the remain
der of the ground in the valley to the city
for q park, on condition that the city will
Immediately fence, and begin improving it
as a park and also put the streets in good
repair and bridge the ravine near the mill.
Then let the Real Estate Association sell out
the lots mentioned, and put the money re-
ceived from them into permanent improve
ments on the Ohautauqua grounds. This,
with the increased stock subscription, will
put that institution on solid basis.
Surely the city will never have the OPP
portunity of obtaining a park in the most
charming place within its limits for so little
money, on such easy terms and under such
favorable circumstances, and then this
small amount will be paid by the whole
people, as it should be.
Now, why should not our Council take
the matter in hand at once, and name the
park ''The Mollie E. Moore Park, after the
brilliant poetess who spent her childhood
upon that very spot and from its beautiful
surroundings and silver river, drank In the
inspiration that developed into her sweet
songs and charming prose, and made her
loved of Texans, and famous to the world
And in the near time to come, those who
" snail rlS6 up u Cdil Nor uIeSeeu VIII
doubtless er ct in that park fitting memo
rial to perpetuate her memory.
No town was ever built, or great enter
prise developed. without venture and en-
ergy. What say you, fellow citizens? Let
us to the work and say it shall be done"
And I pledge the best energies of the Chau
tan1ua management to place this Texan
loved and famous lady before the audiences
of the next session Of tho Assembly upon
the spot of her childhood home.
If these thoughts are worthy of consid-
GRAFTON, let a mass meeting he called at
once, and our Council and the Board of Di-
rectors of the Real Estate Association be
advised of the will Of the people and the
enterprise inaugurated.

As to the Ohautauqua, after all our opin-
ion is that our people made great mistake
in permitting a division on the subject.
They had the inside track, and could easily
have kept it united here, if they had not
slept over their privileges. The action that
has been taken now would have saved the
institution, and in the progress of time it
might have been of first class Importance to
our town, in the absence of other pros

higgle over. Time and again did the FREE
