The experimental free coinage of silver,
which Mr.. Cleveland pronounces. danger
GUS and reckless" is the experiment which
all the Democratic members of the Senate
but three and all the Democratic members of
the House but about half dozen voted with
in amonth. in favor OF making. Certainly
so far as its congressional representation
can commit party to a particular policy the
Democratic party is committed to free silver.
But this is not oil. The Democratic party
of the West and South has been committed
to that policy by many state conventions
made up of delegates fresh from the people
and undoubtedly representing their con-
yictions. The Farmers Alliance of the South
which Is dominating the Democratic party
In that section and to whose behests the
Democratic leaders are bowling as gracefully
as possible, is built upon foundation the
chiefcorner stone of which is free silver. The
Farmers Alliance of the West to whose in
fuence. direct or Indirect, the Democrats We

saturated with the free coinage heresy
Alternate the Democrats OF those two sections
who believe In free silver from the Demo-
cratic party. and it is exceedingly doubtful
II the. Democracy could carry single state
west of the Alleghanies.
These facts must be borne In mind when
reading Mr.. Cleyeland's recent deliyerance

the effect Of 1t upon that gentleman's chance
OF winning the next Presidential nomination

The Republican caucvses.

The address of the Republican city COM
mittee, printed elsewhere. sets forth a new
plan which has been adopted for the conduct
OF the primaries. The use Of the checklist is
to be made compulsory in every ward. II
has been customary. heretofore, to nominate
a candidate for mayor through the medium
Of delegates chosen In each ward. This year
it has been decided to nominate by direct
vote, a majority being necessary. All the
ward officers will be nominated by plurali.
ty. Two forms of ballots have been suggest
ed which are printed elsewhere. Some defin-
lite conclusion as to the one to be used should
be arrived at Immediately and the use Of the
ballot chosen made compulsory, else there
will be great confusion. The second or Aus
tralian form. seems likely to answer the pur-
pose best. With the other If there were sew
eral candidates for each Of the offices, great
many different ballots would be needed.
With little explanation at the opening Of
the caucus we do not see why there should
be any serious difficulty in using the Aus
tralian ballot. -

Two bills are before the New Hampshire
legislature, one looking to the repeal of the
nuisance act and the other providing for the
substitution Of licence law for the present
prohibitory statute. The strength behind
both of them is.said to be considerable, and
there is some apprehension that the first
may be passed. Its passage would be dis
tinct and positive weakening Of theprohibi-
tory law, and its ultimate effect could not but
be hurtful to the Republican party. which
controls the legislature and upon which
the responsibility therefore rests.

street, New York, was started by a travelling
salesman, wh0s had been accustomed to get
drunk in every big city from New York to San

a man leaves the place and fails he is welcome
to come back again and again, and may ever
feel that Rest Island is his home as long az
he wants to be clean. The mission is on

still in its infancy and possibly 1t might yet
fail but so far its work has been crowned with
success and its prospects are very bright, The
home is called national because its inmates
have come from all parts Of the country and all
are made equally and may stay as long as they
