a great many people agree with the
Topeka Democrat, that ''the calling of a
constitutional convention should not
interfere with resubmission. The pro-

wisdom and public interest. should be

A bill recently passed the senate of the
United States prohibiting the manufac-

Getting. This law should be very severe
because the manufacturer Of such tools

I'm discussing the Conger pure lard
ill the Kansas Alliance house at Topeka
TODD true TO its pledges made to the
cotton seed raisers at Ocala. Such
generosity is wonderful, from such
'ource. If the Republican party had
proposed to tax ever pound of lard pro-
juced by the farmer from one to two
cents, in the interest Of the big four in
Chicago, no one would have heard the
last of the howl. But this is just what
the Kansas house in effect did when
they struck out the Conger bill. There
are, evidently, something more than
temogogues in that house.

Rimetallism In ENGLAND.

We said Yesterday that an international
conference on bimetallism would be
good thing if held at any day not too dis
tant. Yesterdays Washington Post has
ON the same subject the following para
graph;
"Treasury Department officials are much IN
torested IN recent utterances Of Mr.. Goschen,
Chancellor Of the Exchequer OF England, on
financial questions, and especially In his inflma-
ton that an international conference on the sub
,ect OF bimetallIsm between the leading nations
OF the world Is probability Of the near future.
notwithstanding Nettleton, Of the Treasury
Department, said that England's desire for such
a conference was big thing toward its accom-
plshment. and tho United States was particu-
larry pleased at Englsnds attitude on the sub
lect."
As we have often had occasion to say,
bimetallism the world over would lead TO
incalculable advantages. One of these
would be en- international or universal
currency. 1t is discreditable to the states

The Republicans of New York are back

Each house Of the Legislature has there,

The Gold Movement.


The shipments Of gold from this coun-
try TO foreign countries last year exceeded
seventy millions of dollars. The reship-
ments back to this country or rather the
receipts OF gold in this country for the
same period amounted to over twenty-five
millions Of dollars only. The man VINO
knows IL all" cannot satisfactorily ex-
plain these facts. How was it possible for
o bimetalhc country 70 stand such run
upon its gold? Messrs. HAMILTON d Co..
Of Baltimore, monometallists though they
be of the most rigid faith, confess tha'
they have DO explanation to offer. In their

We like to read such remarks in q
brokers' or bankers circular. They prove
that he has studied the subject and knows
that there are intricacies in the problem
which he has not yet penetrated. 1t IS
pity that these financial questions cannot
be kept out of politics, or rather out oi
party caucuses. However, 1t seems to be
unavoidable in country where every
voter deems it his duty to threaten his
lawmakers with hostile ballot if they re-
fuse TO fall in with his crude notions.

WHY THE PARNsLLs DID NOT SAIL.
Creditors Said to BE Putting Obstacles oil
Some Sort in Their Way.
NAV York cun1

Mrs. Della T. S. Parnell and her SON
John Parnell. are still in New York city
and Mrs. Parneil states that 1t is impossi-
bic for her to say when they will be able 10
return TO Europe. She says 1t IS very ne
cesssry that they should be at Avondale,
County Wicklow, upon the settlement OF
the estate Of Charles Stewart Parnell.
Mrs. Parnell says they ought to have lettt
New York a month ago, but the illness OF
her con, who was in Georgia while Mrs.
Parnell was IN New Jersey, delayed their
departure. They prepared to sail on the
Majestic on Wednesday, but were again
disappointed.
Mrs. Parnell gives no very definite rrea-
son for this latter disappointment She
intimates. however. that their financial az
fairs are not in as good a condition as she
would like to have them. There are peo-
pie interested in delaying their departure,
and some of these people are bringing up
claims against herself and her son. Some
of these claims are unjust, she says, and
she adds:
"Yhey seem 10 think money is raining
down upon US, but it 10 not. These peo-
ple know that we must get 10 Ayondale,
and they think we will settle claims
whether lust or not rather than be de
layed. l cannot tell when we shall leave
for Europe
Mrs. Parnell is sojourning with Mrs. w.
j. Knoud, at no Amsterdam avenue.
