There are two objections urged against

force Of either objection. There cannot

The Silver Bin's Operation.
lFor tbe Dispatch

Ihope. Mr.. Editor. you will not consider
mo as noachinp on your Cleveland manor,
and Thrust mo out, if make a brief COM
ment on your remark in the morning
paper that lit is not certain That blr.
Cleveland has not somewhat changed ms
oninion upon the" (monometalllst
"subiect. We have never seen contra
diction Of the report that he was dissatis-
fed with his Secretary OF the 1reaSurys
utterances on the subject"
beg leave to say that only q few days ago
7 read in the report of one of Senator Vests
speeches in the Senate. what nowremem-
her as a distinct disclaimer that MIR. Cleve-
land had expressed to him any dlssatlstac-
ton with the utterances with his Secretary
(Mr. Manning. think it was) on the silver
question. This is the report to which
presume you allude.
And if II be not impairment to venture
an adverse opinion, | would beg leave to
reply TO your remark in the same editorial
that, "if the free coinage of silver. be-
comes a law at the present session OF Con-
gress, the silver problem will have been
solved before 1892" and that nlne-tenths
of the people will before that time have
been converted into monometaiilsts or
bimetallists," that so far from settlement
of the question, the fight may have then
lust begun, as the term monometallists and
bimetallists implies. Or perhaps you Will
kindly explain how the success of one side
on q question which has been discussed for
wears, can either convert its opponent or
change its own convictions in nine or ten
months.
In reply to the first point made by 49,
we remark that in the United States Sem
ate day before yesterday MIR. ALDRIcH
stated that Senator VEST had said in the
Senate that Mr.. CLEVELAND had modified
his views on the silver question. Mr.. AL
pRIcH, as IN duty bound, belittled the
modification, but we do not choose to &C
cept his construction of Mr. YEsT's words.
As to the second point we say that we
are as confident as we are of anything in
the future that if the silver bill becomes O
law this spring the results Of free coinage
will within year teach nine tenths of the
voters which is the right side of the ques-
ton. Congress during the war between
the States passed a law-which did
not remain upon the statute book month,
so clearly did its operation show that it was
an unwise measure We should entertain
great doubts as to the expediency of pass
ing the silver bill if we did not feel sure
that its results would within a short time
unite the people eitherin support of it or in
opposition to it. We want no agitation on
the silver question or on the greenback
question.

The fact that the malignants in the Sem

ton to devote TO the silver bill any more
time than it had been agreed to accord to
the consideration of that measure signi6ed
that they desire to call up again the force

resuscitation, but we advise the Democrats
in the Senate not to act upon the assump-
ton that such is the fact. For our part we

The indications are that the Indian war

There may be some Earring before that

In all probability they will be asked to
deliver up their arms, and, of course, to
this they will very much object. Here,
