THERE seems to be a wide divergence
of opinion among the western members
of congress regarding the scope and
effect of the silver bill. Some OF the
members of the house from the western
states give it their unqualified approval,
while the Colorado and Nevada senators
strongly oppose it. Senator Teller says
that the bill will put the silver product
of the United States under control of
the secretary of the treasury, and that
that official can depress quotations
whenever he chooses by free selling of
bullion. Furthermore, he says the bill
practically repeats the Bland act
without any compensation in return.
He will vote against the bill in its pres
ent form, as will Senators Jones and
Stewart, of Nevada. To meet the views
of these senators the secretary's author
ity to disburse bullion in payment OF
certificates must be limited. But the
concession congress is Enthusiastically dis
posed to make to the sentiment of the
people has already had stimulating
effect on the price of silver, and we shall
unquestionably benefit by what ha.
already been done.

THE NEW UNITED STATES.

Benefits That Would Accrue From the
Central American Confederation.
The preliminary steps to the union of the
five Central American states as a single re-
public have taken place. Honduras, Saliva
dor, Costa RIGA and Guatemala have already
signed the treaty of alliance, and Near
agua's acquiescence in the scheme is ex-
pected in a few weeks. The union which
has now been entered into, however. is only
provisional. Under the terms Of the treaty
It is to last ten years: Within that
constitution will be framed, fed
eral system provided for and Central
government put into operation, The new
consolidated nation is to be called the re-
public of Central America. But even in
the interval there will be a fair approach to
unity in these commonwealth. A presi-
dent to be the chief executive of all the
states, is to be chosen each year under the
confederation, this official being taken
from each state in a regular order to be
agreed upon The president will have a
cabinet, and there will be federal congress
composed of three members from each of
the states.
Many and important benefits will I'M
doubtedly come from this union. Taken
together, the Central American countries
have population of about 5000, 900, which
is a little greater than that of Missouri at
the present time and little less than that
of Illinois, while their area is about 16S, 600
square miles, or slightly in excess of that of
Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. Union will
give them an influence in the worlds affairs
which they could never gain in their sepa-
rate condition. 1t will also bring them a
uniform code of laws, one tariff and
revenue system, and ono military and
naval establishment. Nor are there
and strong or inherent racial
difficulties to overcome in this scheme. The
people constituting the majority of the pop
ulation in all the states are from the same
stock. speak the same language and have
the same religion and traditions. In cast
ing their fortunes together our southern
neighbors are simply following that impulse
toward amalgamation, accretion and COM
bination which has been manifesting itself
in every condition and avenue of endeavor
since man first came upon the earth, but
which has become especially active and
potent in recent years.

The cavalier treatment accorded to
the Irish National league of America by
Charles s. Parnell can but excite the in
dignation of self respecting Irishmen in
the United States. The executive COM
mittee of the league met in st. Louis
last week, and before setting about the
business of the session sent cablegram
to Mr.. Parnell asking his advice regard
the question of the holding of delegate
convention this year. No answer was
received. The committee Inundated
itself by telegraphing the same inquiry
on the third and last day of it's session,
and still no answer was vouchsafed.
On Sunday DR.. Thomas O'Reilly, of De.
troit, on behalf of the Irish National
league of America, telegraphed John
Dillon, M. p, to ascertain Mr.. Parnell's
wishes upon the question of holding a
convention. Perhaps Mr.. Dillon has the
entry to the Uncrowned Kings presence
and perhaps he has not. Evidently the
Uncrowned King does not think his
subjects in America are worthy of
courteous treatment, although they
have been most liberal contributors to
the fund required to carry on the agita-
ton for home rule for Ireland. 1t is
not conceivable that the Uncrowned
King cannot spare moment from his
other cares to answer a courteous in
quiry from society that has been pour
ing stream of gold into the Golfers of
the league in London, or wherever else
the treasure may be stored at this time.
Probably the suspension of remittances
for time would bring the Uncrowned
King down from his aerial throne to the
mundane sphere long enough to issue
an ukase to his secretary, who might
thereupon instruct his clerk to reply to
the messages of the league in America.
The conduct of Mr.. Parnell in this mat
ter, and at time when the league is
much perplexed will suggest that pos
sibly he is IAN idol OF brass with feet OF

The attempt Of the republican press
of Illinois and Wisconsin to make par
ty issue of the public school question is
ridiculous. The issue makers might
as we'll and with as much reason attempt
to have political campaign fought up
on the proposition that human life is
sacred and that murder is crime. The
democratic party has no more quarrel
with the publioS school system than
with the laws for the. protection Of life,
liberty and property.

THE Cleveland Leader has underta-
ken to forecast the result of the presi-
dental election of 1892 It reckons as
surely democratic all the states that in
1888 chose Harrison electors, except
New York and Indiana, and ignores the
revolutions shown in the elections last
fall, when Ohio and Iowa chose demo-
cratic governors. The off year theory
won't explain the result in those states.
They are now in the doubtful column,
and are there to stay until they shall
have taken their places in the demo-
cratic column.

Dry Goods Salaries.

New York Star.
alt is not generally known" said
Mr.. G. B. Worth, of H. B, Claflin &
Co., a few days ago, that some of the
highest salaries are paid in our
business. We are often accused of pay
ing starvation wages to u clerks by
people who never look at the expense
entailed in running an establishment.
Take the buyers, for instance. There
are firms in this CITY who pay men
from SO, 600 to $50, 900 q year for
simply being able 10 tell three quar-
tiers of a year in advance what the
fashion is going to be. One gentle
man, who buys for a wholesale house
OH Broadway, is said to earn $50, 900 a
year.
"Dry goods houses are noted for
paying low wages to their clerks, be-
cause the supply of clerks is so
abundant. In some of the smaller
stores the pay runs as low as s. a
week. But the buyer OH whose judg-
ment the sale of next years fabrics
depends gets half as much as the
President of the United states. The
Smallest, and some of the largest,
salaries are paid in the dry goods
business
"How does the buyer for the house
distinguish in advance what the fash
ion for next year is to be?'
"Ah, that is where it requires q
wide-awake man. He must watch
tho nrnuyinn fnnInnDinc ~, tho
firms richest and most fashionable
customers at home and abroad.
Whatever has become popular among
them will make its way among the
masses, and this tide the house must
catch and swim along with it.
"In Europe textile manufacturers
make few goods except on orders.
The buyer for a firm must decide
what his house can sell next season,
and order his supplies of cloth made
in advance. A serious mistake might
be sufficient TO bankrupt a firm, by
leaving them with a stock on hand of
unstable goods, the patterns not
being to the liking OF the firms GUS
toners. So you can easily see why q
skillful buyerc can command his own
price"
"How do you select a man for such
a pesition?"
Nothing less than a kind of in
tuition is demanded for such a place.
In addition, the buyer must estimate
what amount his employer can sell
OF a given style of goods. If he over
stocks the firm, then they are left
with old fashioned articles on hand
which they must resort to the bar
galn-cOunter devices to get rid of at
a severe loss.n

THE democratic party being judges,
this republican congress is one of the
most independent bodies that ever
assembled at Washington. Even the
Houston Post is complimentary
where it intended to be denunciatory,
says:
Mr.. Blaine knocked the Mckinley
bill into a cooked hat; Mr.. Quay has
destroyed the force bill, and now the
New York Tribune is jumping upon
the favorite bill of the Grand Army
of the Republic, calling for a service
pension.
This simply e that the republic
can members of congress are acting
in an open, honest, manly way. That
they are owned and controlled by no
~ring-master. That they express their
honest differences of opinion on the
great questions of tariff, Federal
elections bill, and pensions, and are
not holding their votes or their voices
at the beck and not of any party
leader. When their differences of
opinion are given fair and full express
sion, some agreement will be arrived
at representing Is far as possible the
widest and wisest views of the whole
republican party in congress, and
this conclusion will be accepted as
that of the party. The country is to
be congratulated that matters are in
this condition, and that republicans
in congress are sufficiently independ-
ent to act honestly and f~earlessly
according to their own individual
judgment.
