II the Information Of the New York
Tribune is correct, the President is very
anxious TO have the silver question taken
out Of politics. That paper says that
although the Secretary Of the Treasury, Mr.
Foster, is going to Europe for the benefit of
his health, he will endeavor, while in Eng
and, to arrange with Mr.. Goscben. the
English chancellor Of the exchequer, for an
international conference on the nlver ques>
ton. Il may he fairly inferred. therefore,
that the main purpose Of the secretarys trip
abroad is in connection with the silver prob
lem.
The silver question is q bothersome one
to both political parties. Neither Of them
Is united on it and neither Of them sees a
way to deal with it so that it will not be q
source OF weakness in the presidential cam
paign. II an International monetary con-
ference could be arranged both parties
would be relieved Of what promises to be a
very embarrassing issue.
A very considerable portion Of the Re-
publican party in the western states fsvors
free silver coinage, but the Republican
party is committed against it, and the belief
Is that il congress should pass bill author
izing the free coinage Of silver the President
would veto It. But, If no should veto such
a bill. be would run the risk of
injuring his popularity with his party in
the west. He is, therefore, anxious to have
the silver question removed from politics,
and it would not be surprising if it should
turn out that Secretary Fosters visit to
Europe is for the purpose of seeing if some
thing cannot be done to bring about an in-
ternational agreement relative to silver
rather than TO seek health.

Choosing Between the Attractions

Barnum's circus had just struck a town in
Vermont, says the Boston Globe, Aunt Polly
had never seen the elephant in any sense of
the word, and had been feeling for weeks how
she did just long to go to the show When
the proper morning came Aunt Polly s married
son, Josh, tolA her to be ready at O'Clock D. m.
and they'd take in the show.
We'll, now" exclaimed Aunt Polly, hest
tatingly, II don't know about that. l want to
see the show awful bad, but YOU see Deacon
Perkins funeral comes off to-day. and don't
just know which I'd enjoy the most There'll
be lots of folks there. and besides may live till
Barnum comes again, but this is the only
funeral Deacon Perkins will ever give,
II guess, Josh, I'll have a better time at the
funeral than at the circus "
And Aunt Polly went to the funeral

Disappointed Colonists.

Comparatively few OF the blacks read the
newspapers. II they did they would not be
deceived so often by alleged agents who
pretend to represent societies which have
for their object the colonization Of blacks
in Liberia. Within the last two or three
years hundreds Of comfortably situated
blacks in various parts of the southern
states have been Influenced by attractive
promises to sell at q great sacrifice what
little property they had and start for Libe-
ria. A few reached that country only to
find there is no means OF earning good
living there, and those who could get away
returned TO their old homes as soon as an
opportunity to do so presented itself. But
by far the greater number got only little
way on their journey when they found that
they had been misled, and that nothing had
been given them in return for the money
they paid to the alleged agents.
On Sunday there arrived In New York
over hundred blacks OF both sexes, many
of them very young children and others
long past middle life. who said they were
on their way TO Liberia at the solicitation of
the American Colonization Society Of
Washington, D. G. They had left their
homes In the Indian Territory with the un-
derstanding that an agent Of the society
would meet them In New York, and that
the ship to transport them to Liberia was
waiting for them at that port They we're
virtually without money and there was no
to meet them and direct them
what to do. They were in pitiable con-
dition. They were common country
blacks and had never before seen
large city. They were as helpless
as il they had been cast adrift In
midocean in a small boat without compass
or oars. About ell the children were With
out shoes and stockings. Indeed, all Of the
party were insuficiently clothed. Had not
some kind-hearted and charitable people
provided for them they would have had to
remain unsheltered in the streets until the
city provided for their immediate wants.
There ought to be some means for pun
ishing those who get money from the simple.
minded blacks under the pretense Of provid-
ing comfortable homes for them Ia Liberia.
As O matter OF fact the blacks who have
returned from Liberia describe it as a
country that the blacks of this country
should avoid as they would the plague.
And there are good reasons for thinking
that many Of the alleged colonization agents
are frauds, who have no authority from any
one to receive money from blacks for emil
grafton purposes. Either state or national
authorities should take steps to put an end
to the outrageous business of the fraudulent
agents.

Excitement in an Engine Cab.

IL was not many minutes before the machine

track with roar, writes a reporter In the
Chicago Times. The engineer hung out Of the
window. calmly chewed tobacco and rested his
lett hand on the lever. The track was as

at about mile minute. The
fireman fed in the coal and more steam
was registered. The iron joints creaked and the
Dig engine groaned as If asking, what do you

does he mean? Can he be deaf? He must
be awfully deaf not to hear the wild scream

It Looks Like an UNDERSTANDING.

The report that Mr.. Springer says that he
thinks Illinois will send Hill delegation to
Chicago justifes the suspicion that the
question Of making Senator Hill the presi-
Dental candidate of the Democratic party
played an important part in the speaker
ship contest. 1t was stated at the time the
contest was going on that that question was
having good deal of influence in deter
mining the result of it. II is difficult to be-
lieve, however. that there was an under
standing which caused the friends of
Speaker Crisp and Senator Hill to act in
harmony-an understanding that continues
until the action OF the democratic national
convention is known.
But il there was no such understanding
it seems little strange snAt Mr.. Springer
should say that the Illinois delegation
would be Hill delegation. He is about the
only prominent mau from that state who
has made such statement. Is he trying to
so shape the political elements in Illinois as
to have Hill delegates elected?

The New York newspapers do the negroes
Of Georgia an injustice in reporting that a
number of them have arrived there to par
ticipate in the rush on those Liberian farms
and $50 bounties. The twenty-three negroes
who left this port last week for Liberia
via New York, were from Indian Terri
tory, and were apart OF the contin-
gent shipped by the Cherokee
Indians. Georgia negroes have too
much sense to go running off after
jack-'o-lanterns in the African swamps,
when there is plenty here for them to do
and get paid for.
