The s;lyc. Bill.

WASHINGTON, March THE
first skirmish over the free coinage
bill has been fought in the House
OF Representatives, and the free
coinage democrats, aided by the
majority of the republicans, have
carried their point. They have
succeeded in having tho House
adopt the report of the committee
on rules, fixing Tuesday, March
%, as the date for TAXI g up the
Bland bill. The victory was not
won withouta hard fight, however,
and the vote by which the date was
fixed-190 to 8i-cannot be taken
as an indication of what the vote
will be on the passage Of the bill.

A CHORUS FOR CLEVELAND
The Charleston News and Courier
declares that 'the plain people OF
South Carolina believe in Grover
Cleveland" and as proof submits
a poll Just made in regard to presi-
dental preferences. Ten days ago
the editor Of the News and Courier
sent circular letter to its CORES
pondents throughout the State IN
struCting them to obtain from the
people an expression OF their pref
erence for President. The cores
poudents were instructed to sec as
many voters as possible, to secure
an expression Of their preference
for President, to "make no effort
in any way to influence their opin-
ions, and to make a return OF the
results of the canvass. So far
twonty-two counties have been
heard from, and 2, 4G3 persons were
interviewed The preferences Of
these were For Cleveland, 500 ,
Hill, 233 other preferences, 40,
giving the x-presideut nearly three
to one over all.

A TREATY WITH FRANCE Prom
IsED. Our minister to France and
the French minister of commerce
reached last week, it is stated, ga
definite agreement for the estab-
lisbment of a commercial treaty"
between France and the United
States. The nature of the propos-
ed treaty is not stated, but it is
supposed to be on the basis of reel
procity. France will probably les
sen the severity of her high tariff
on few of our articles in conside-
ration of our lowering ours on few
OF her articles.

SixTY-FvE MILLIONS SAVED. ~
II is not surprising that the present
Congress should find it easy and
necessary 10 cut down apprOpria-
tions from the figures OF the billion
dollar Congress. If that Congress
spent too much, this one would err
not to retrcnch. The present con-
dition OF the treasury, owing to tho
extravaganza Of the fifty-frst Con-
gross, makes economy necessary,
even II it were not desirable. The
amount by which appropriations
arc to be cut down this year is es-
timatcd at SOS, 100000. That is q
pretty nice little sum to save, all IN
one year. 1t is a dollar for every
man, woman and child ia the coun-
try. For heads OF families it
meats. upon an average, some 81
or q. OF course there will DC OBJ
lection TO economy in some inter
estcd quarters Tho boncdciaries Of
reckless appropriations do not like
10 have their incomes and profits
cut down. That is painful But

THE ST. LOUIS MEETING.

The great assembly of labor or
CARNATIONS took place on the 22ni
prox. at st. Louis, and was attended
by nearly Eeyen hundred delegates.
The body met in u spirit of mutual
concession, and everyone was will
ing TO give and take. The results
are thought to be in the highest
degree salts -actory. The meeting
took no action on the ubject Of the
third party. and the only thing
done in that direction was meet.
ing after the adjournment Of the
convention. composed largely of
delegates and visitors. This meet
ing OF men on their own personal
responsibility, decided to recon-
mend a convention to meet on the
Fourth Of july at OMAHA, to NOM
mate a ticket for President and
ce-President of the United States.
The Alliance is no more bound by
this action than the members would
be, il it had been decided by such
q meeting to give the strength Of
the labor organizations to tie Re-
publican or any other party.
The partisan press is misrepre-
senting the meeting, as usual, and
will doubtless continue to do so.
The facts as stated above are
CLEANED from the Advocate and
the Econonomist, and are substan-
tally true, and may be depended
on.

the session of the Trans Mississippi
Commercial Congress in that city

the dele gates on the presidential

were asked the question; "Who do
you favor for President" There
were 103 answers. The vote was
scattered. Twelve men in all were
mentioned. The count up was as

Hon. j. M. Sydenstricker, OF

conciliatory nomination. The far
mers Of the State want recogni-
ton, and can have it nthey choose.
There would be manifest propri-
ETY. in not obliging them to mako
any vigorous contest for it. The
professional men and politicians
might do well to compromise on
this small concession, and share
the rest of the ticket among them
selves. There is some probability

Hon. w. Il. Wilson's determine
ton to decline to be O candidate for

those who know Mr.. Wilson, and
his sincere and straightforward
manner OF expressing himself. Mr..

as well, than in the position which
he now occupies. In respo' SC to

grown in the estimation of his col
leagues and the people of the Gun
try at large until no has como to
be recognized as one of the leading
statesman Of the nation. While he
woold make an acceptable Governor
of the State, 1t would be unjust to
insist upon his leaving Congress,
where his splendid talents have won
him distinction as a legislator and
statesman, to accept an executive
Office, whose duties would consist
mainly in dull aud monotonous rou-
tine work. However much his
friends may desire to nominate him
for the Governorship it is settled
now that the Democracy will have
to look elsewhere for a candidate
Fortunately there arc a number Of
able men Of the State who are splen-
didly equipped for tho discharge OF
the duties Of the Office, and who are
qualified to conduct a vigorous and
successful campaign. The Demo
cratic party is we'll supplied with

A hEsULT Nor LOOKED For
The Cincinnati Enquirer, which
claims TO be democratic paper,
but generally manages to knife tho
party nominees, ard which is now
booming Senator Hill for the pres
idency, recently undertook to poll
all the weekly democratic papers in
Ohio as to their presidential prefer
eBccs. One hundred and twenty
five democratic editors responded,
and of the number one hundred
and one were alphabetically in favor
of the nomination of Grover Clevc-
land. The otter twenty-four were
scattering, only eleven of them de-
claring for David b. Hill. This
was pretty bitter medicine but the
Enquirer had the fairness to pub
lish the poll.

but her features are otherwise we'll
formed and her eyes are bright and
kindly. She is one of the most beauti-
full dancers in Russia, and she is as fond
of dancing as q Danish country girl. At
the winter palace in st. Petersburg are
given each year some of the most Won
derful balls of the world. Seven thou
sand people can live in this palace, and
the thousands of dancers trip the light
fantastic toe over floors of ebony, of
rosewood and of ivory. Now and then
the Empress appears at these dances in
her royal robes. She wears a gorgeous
crown which fairly blazes with dia-
monds. Her necklace is of many strands
of the purest pearls, and her vest is
mass of rubies, sapphires and diamonds
put together so that they blaze like fire.
One of her gowns is of emerald velvet
with train of white velvet which is
fairly covered with gold embroidery and
the front of which is linked with strands
Of purest coral. The jewels on one of
these robes would make an American
village rich, and their value surpasses
computation. In the treasury at Mos
COW saw the Empress coronation robe.
The train of this was Of woven silver,
and there was enough of woven silver
cloth in the robe to have carpeted an or
dinary parlor.
