THE BLACK REPUBLIC.
Indications That 1t Will Soon Have An
other Revolution.
fBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l

lby teleBrapn W inc Oispdtcn'J
NEW YORK, July 6.-The Atlas-Line
steamer Alvena, which has arrived here
from Jeremie and other West Indian ports,
brings some interesting Haytien news.
The Alvena left Jeremie on June goth and
there were then indications that the Black
Republic would soon be the scene of an
other bloody rebellion.
Jeremie is in the southern part of Hayti,
where Hippolyte possessed his strongest
support in wrestling the presidency from
Legitme. At present, however that sec
ton of the island is bitterly opposed to
Hippolyte and there are loud mutterings
against his rule. So strong Is the opposi-
| ton to the present President that an out
break is apt to occur at any moment.
Many of the residents are so fearful of the
| impending lnsurrection that they are
| leaving in all haste. The Alvena carried @
number of residents of Jeremie to Kingston.
| Jamaica, and other fugitives are leaving on
every departing vessel.
Second Officer Seagraves, of the Alvena,
| said that an old resident OF Jeremie. who
formerly occupied an important position
| under the Government, told him that the
| present Government will not last long.
| The people are so constituted that IL is
almost impossible for any form of govern
ment to last long. An old Haitien poll.
| tician named Maybrant Is secretly foment-
ing o rebellion and is looked upon as Hip.
polyte's successor in case the President ID
overthrow. Legitime, it is said, has nc
longer any strength and will not figure in
any future rebellion. Hippolyte is an old
men of seventy-fve and does not appre.
cate the danger to his rule. He knows his
enemies are at work and is bending all his
power to crush them, but he cannot reach
| the principal men. There have been nc
executions by Hippolyte's soldiers since
the execution Of the six men reported
some time ago.

Not So.


One Of our exchanges charges US with
having recently become very much inter
ested in the silver question, and finds IN
that alleged fact disposition on our part
TO snub such Democrats as do not agree
with us on that question. This remark
does Injustice to us. We have from the
beginning had but one theory upon this
subject. We advocate the free-colnage OF
silver as measure of justice to the farm
ers and planters as well as because 1t
promises to be benefit to the whole
world. We do not pretend that we have
no doubts upon the subject. What we
contend fer is that as amongst the mea-
sures proposed and advocated by the AL
liances this is the one which promises the
best results to the country, the Democratic
party ought to be willing to adopt 1t as q
measure of their own, and thus show to
the Alliances that we are not disposed TO
set up for financial Solomons ourselves
or to class all the long-headed, sensible
men in the various Alliances with the fat
greenbackers. or with any of the advo-
Gates of wildcat currency or wildcat le-
gislation.
The bill to provide for the free coinage
Of silver might operate to the injury OF
the public. We do not think it would, or.
of course we would not advocate it. But
there is little danger to be apprehended
from it in any event. If passed at the next
session of Congress it ought to be passed
in the winter or spring, 30 that If it did
not meet the wants of the people and the
expectations of its advocates, it could be
forthwith repealed 1t would be great
gain to the commercial world to have this
problem solved once for all, whether its
solution redounded to the credit of
the bimetallists or the monometallists.
There could no worse result follow such
legislation than temporary imitation OF
the prices of all commodities-an infia-
ton which could not damage the commu-
nifty much in the short space Of time which
it would require to test the experiment OF
| the free coinage of silver.
| In word. the Democratic party cannot
afford not to listen to the appeals of the
hundreds of thousands Of Alliance men
who are willing to vote with US if we show
disposition to 90 even small part
of the way that leads to harmony between
| the Democrats and the Alliances.
