The International Monetary Con

The International Monetary Con
ference is now in session at Brussels.
No expectations have been raised in
the silver states by this congress, and
therefore no great disappointment
will result if nothing of special ad-
vantage to the white metal is accom-
plished Silver has some strong
friends among the European dele
gates, but they represent the wrong
nations to WELD great influence upon
the results. The strongest opposition
is expected from England and Ger
many. If the conference results in
the enlarged use of silver it is about
as much as we have reason to expect
from abroad at this time. The silye,
question is an educational one, and
the fact that all the great powers are
now considering it, shows that its i'm
portance is at least acknowledged.

On our first page will be found
some timely advice to such democrats
as are desirous of serving their coun-
try in an official capacity. The field
is white for the harvest, or soon will
be, and why should not one man put
in his sickle as well as another. Mod
esty and downright diffidence has
ever been the drawback and weak
ness of democracy. Faint heart never
won an office. It's a fair field, and
anybody's fight. Shed your coats
boys and wade in, and in the Ian
guage of the article quoted start

that she and the deceased we're married on
December Il, 1860, living together until May

was community property, except the lot on
Spear and Market streets, in which she
thinks she had half-ownership, as it was
in part purchased with her separate money,
aud that the disposition made of the prop

OF the property is asked by her on the
ground that it was only a few days ago that
