Republican Repentance ON Z
silver Question.

The bill reported Or silver coinage
from the Senate committee is perhaps as
much as could have been looked for from
that source. 1t practically coins $500 900
month more than the highest limit of
the Bland Act. 1t had been given out
from pretty high Republican quarters
as long ago as last summer that this ses.
sion of Congress would be marked by a
change of front in that party on the
silver question. There had been loud
mutterings of disapprobation, mingled
with threats, from the West, that unless
this were done great detection from
Republicanism would result. There is
then not much doubt that the
Lower House, which comes so much
more directly from the people,
will fall into line and pass
some law for the increase of silver coin
age. If $4,500,000 month of the white
metal is put into circulation it will test
to some extent the correctness of the
theories held by the advocates of silver.
Ii it does not result in driving gold out oil
the country, or in flooding it with foreign
silver; and if it results in bringing the
price of silver more nearly to its former
parity with gold, then it will become
manifest that we are on theright road,
and after years trial of the new pro-
grsmme we shall all be prepared
to proceed further in the same
direction and at more rapid
pace. Even this proposed measure
of relief will result in giving US more
!. nearly adequate volume of currency for
the needs Of the country, and thus all our
business enterprises will be stimulated to
a greater degree of activity and pros
perity.
But Mr.. Secretary Window does not
shine with any particular luetre
in his msunderings over the
intricacies of the financial problem.
One sentence from his windy attempt
at, explication of his 80 called plan is
enough. That the free coinage of silver
should result in depressing the price of
that metal is discovery such as only a
man of Windom's sagacity would ever
have hit on. Mr.. Window is probably
the most illogical man OF prominence in
the United States, not excepting Citizen
Train, whose attempts at reasoning
greatly resemble those of the distin-
guished Secretary of the Treasury.

OUR new city directory is out and is an
improvement on that of last year in
many respects. 1t contains list of
10000 names of people in some sort Of
business or employment. This is some
increase over the number in the last di-
rectory, a fact which indicates that there
has been no falling off in our population
as an incident of the quiet times prevail
ing in most lines of business enterprise.
The number of children in the schools,
and all other attainsble facts lead to the
same conclusion. By the ratio of names
in directory to She population Of a town
that is found usually to apply, it would
appear ss if we had city here of 90 900

that it was not strong enough and he
would mix it with arsenic. Smith said
he had man working for him who
knew how to mix it and asked me where

RUMORS RIFE.
ABOUT BR.tzIL'S DICTATORSHIP.
Report That It May Be Prolonged for Five
Years More.
ANNULLING ASSEMBLY DECREE.
Synopsis Of the Governments Statement on
the Boundary Question.

RIO JANEIRo, February l9.-The air
here is alive with rumors. People are
saying now that it is the intention of
the Provisional Government to annul
the decree conyoking the Constituent
Assembly, and TO prolong the dictator
ship for five years
At dinner given some days ago 10
the ex-MiniSter Of Agriculture. the Min
lister of War took occasion TO allude 10
this report. The people OF Brazil. he said,
should be more grateful and not insult
the government and the army by circu-
lating such rumors. Neither in the gov
ernmcnt nor in the army was there any
une who desired the bancful supremacy
OF the sword What the government
most earnestly desired was 10 return as
soon as possible to private life. Office
has no charms for them, and as for him
self there was no induccment sufficient 10
reconcile him to remaining permanently
i'm the place he occupied.
The Minister of War has since pub
lishcd a card stating that his speech was
not correctly reported.
The journal DO C0mcrci0, the leading
paper Of Brazil. eulogizes the speech i'm
very warm terms. and says that it leads
to the hope that the decree Of December
%. establishing "A military tribunal for
the trial of persons accused Of political
crimes, will be revoked.
The many reports in circulation in re-
gard TO the boundary treaty with the
Argentine Republic have caused the
Government to publish an article on the
subject in the official paper. This
article dcprecateS discussion of the
question at present as premature, since
the terms Of the treaty have not vet
been made known. and states that all
apprehensions in regard TO those terms
are gr0undless. since the Government
has full sense of its responsibility n
so important a question. Besides, the
treaty. before becoming operative, has
to be ratified by the legislative assem-
| bieS of the two countries. II 10 is not
ratified. the boundary question viii bee
