The Monetary Conference SnufTs Out the
Forty-three Penny Plan.
BRUSSELS, Dec. 3.-The scheme for the
solution of the monetary problem that
was submitted to the international
monetary conference by Mr.. Alfred de
Rothschild, of the British delegates, was
rejected by the committee to which it
was referred on the votes of the dele
gates from France, Italy, Belgium, Nor
way, Sweden and Russia. The first OBJ
lection made to the plan was from the
delegates of nations belonging to the
Latin union They disapproved the
proposal that 43 pence be fixed as the
maximum
The report of the committee was
afterward submitted. 1t declares that
Mr.. de Rothschild's proposals are of
great interest and worthy of full dis
cussion, but the committee by vote of
seven to six declined to recommend
their adoption. The committee de-
clared in favor of that portion of
Moritz Levy's plan which refers to
the gradual withdrawal of all gold
coins under the value of 20 francs and
also of all bank notes below certain
value. The report concludes with the
statement of the American. MEXICAN
and Indian delegates with reference to
the future action of these countries.
They disapproved the proposal that 43
pence be fixed as the maximum pu--
chase price of silver. That figure was
consequently withdrawn in favor of
higher one, but this concession failed
to reconcile the opposition.
The American delegates regard the
position cheerfully. The way is now
clear for a full discussion of their BIZ
metallic plans in accordance with their
original programme. When the COM
mittee's report had been submitted to
the conference the American delegates
declared that they were not ready to
discuss it The conference thereupoD
adjourned until Tuesday when the re-
port will be debated.

DEMOCRATIC MiSMANAGEMENT.
A Comparison of the Records of the Two
Parties.

The first session of the democratic
congress which followed the mucn-de-
nounced billion-dollar republican con-
gress spent $4,000, 900 more than its re-
publican predecessor spent at its Erst
session, and now the democratic papers
are bowling about L deficit in the
treasury.
But who is responsible forthis alleged
deficit? What isoits origin? Without
the public debt and the pension pay
ments there could be no deficit, and for
both of these the democratic party is
solely responsible. When 1t went out of
power with Buchanan in 1861 what did
it leave to the republican party which
came in? Not only n deficit in the
treasury, but also public credit so i'm
paired that government loan could be
negotiated only by the payment of IL
per cent. interest.
1t left the country embroiled in a
war brought on by democratic seces-
sionists who now constitute the solid
south. 1t left us the sinful blight of
slavery. 1t left rs war, devastation
and ruin and an appalling loss of hui
Hldu lI1c. Lie peHSlOH luilu resulted
and an enormous public debt, every dol
lar of which should have been paid by
the secessionists of the south, but most
of which is a burden upon the CONNER
cial and industrial interests Of the
north. The tariff tax is as nothing
compared with the tax democratic
secessionists levied upon the people of
this country.
How does the republican party go
ont of power? With the credit of this
government the best in the world;
with government loans negotiable at
two per cent; with slavery wiped out;
secession and notification everlasting
y killed, and the star spangled ban
ner respected at home and abroad.
The republican party came into pow
er thirty-two years ago on the ruins of
a government which the democratic
party had sought to destroy. 1t leaves
the government strong, the nation uni
fed and the people wonderfully blessed
and prosperous.
Let republican papers enter into this
discussion. We are just beginning a
new campaign of education.-N. Y

SUSPENDING IMMIGRATION.
A PROPAGATION From the Senate COMMITTEES
to suspend immigration For One Year.

PROPAGATION From the Senate COMMITTEES
to suspend immigration For One Year.
New YORK, Nov. Gothic senate
committee on immigration met here
yesterday with six of its members in
attendance. Previous to adjOurning
the committee considered the following
proposition, without, however, reach-
ing any conclusions:
All immigration except from the
North and South American countries
shall be suspended for one year from
March l, 1898. the law to be so framed
as not to hinder the free return Of
American citizens or the easy admission
of visitors. No vote was taken on this
resolution, but it is probable that one
may be taken 81 tO-day's meeting and
there is reason for believing that it viii
be passed.
The committee also decided that it
was advisable to submit to congress for
consideration a law embracing the fol-
lowing propositions:
No immigrant shall be admitted to
the United States between the age OF
u and % years unless he can read and
write freely and easily his native lam
guage, nor shall II person above - be
admitted who cannot read or write ex-
cept as a member of family coming.
No immigrants shall be admitted UNI
less he possess 500 in money or its
equivalent except that the head of
family may bring with him or send for
the other members OF his family if he
or they possess s25 FOR each member.
All intending immigrants shall bring
with them certificates from United
States consuls abroad showing that
they have satisfied such consul that
they have right to gain such admis-
sion as immigrants.
All persons seeking final naturaliza-
ton papers shah give reasonable notice
to the court to whom they intend to
apply and some official representing
the government shall investigate the
facts upon the other side when the ap
plicatiOn is offered.

HELD IN SUSPENSE.
A Desperate State of Things in Certain
Quarters.


Mr.. Cleveland will not call an extra
session of congress. This tip comes
almost in an air line from the presi-
dent-elect himself Mr.. Cleveland's
chief reason for this determination is
said to be his dread of being surrounded
by office-hunting congressman at the
very beginning of his term.
The patient people must Struggle on
then under the crushing burden of a
tariff for protection for a whole year
at the least, that their president may
escape some of the worry and hurry
incident to his exalted office.
We must try to get along with the
currency that we have, and wait nine
months longer than we should for the
blessings of will-o-the-wisp money,
merely because Mr.. Cleveland prefers
to take his own time in peddling out
the offices. Meanwhile the infamous
Mckinley bill will be grinding right
along, it will require a dollars worth
of work to obtain one of those expen-
sive national bank dollars, and our
currency will go gadding all over the
land, from Texas to Vermont and from
Alabama to Alaska. No state will be
able to keep its money at home" for
the national bank bills of every state
will circulate freely in every other.
Worst of all, a great many worthy
democrats who need offices will be
kept waiting almost a year while sell
fish republicans are drawing the
salaries that should be swelling the de-
pleted bank accounts of said worthy
democrats.
If the country is in such desperate
straits by reason of high protection
and national banl.s as Mr.. Cleveland,
his organs and his attorneys have
represented it to be, his intended delay
ia converting the new congress will be
little less than a crime. Minneapolis

Several Persons Killed and Injured at

New YORK, Dec. 3.-The thTee-story
frame tenement house, 234 Flushing
avenue, Williamsburg, was fred by an
incendiary and burned so rapidly that
many of the tenants were forced to leap
from the windows. Following is q list
of the killed and injured so far as it
was possible to ascertain:
Michael Doyle, who, with his family.
occupied the top floor, jumped and was
killed.
Nellie Doyle, years old, the daugh-
ter of Michael, was killed by jumping
from the window at the same time her
father met his death.
James Murray, with his wife and
six children, who lived on the second
floor. were badly burned, but they
were rescued by the tiremen and car
ried to different hospitals, where their
injuries were attended to- William
Grimes, a cripple, and his mother, also
cripple, were rescued after having
been severely injured and burned. The
building was totally destroyed. Mich

Fraudulent southern Maiorities.

Cleveland's majority in Virginia is
estimated at 80. 900, in Alabama at 80, :
900, in Georgia at 100000, in Louisiana
at 5000, in Mississippi at 20, OOO in
North Carolina at 20, 200, in South Car
olina at 80, 600, in Tennessee at $4,000,
in Texas at $4,000. Pretty soon the
democratic papers will begin to figure
out the enormous popular majority
for Cleveland, and the nine states men
toned will count for about half mil
lion in the estimates. They might just
as well call it million or. million
and half. If the election of a presi-
dent depended upon popular majority
there is not one of these nine states
that would not return 200. 600 majority
if that were considered advisable by
the democratic managers. The way
the votes are cast has absolutely moth
ing to do with the case.-N. Y. Mail and

Passing of the Mnrwumn.

The most conspicuous trait of the
American mugwump is his utter lack
of patriotic sentiment. The idea OF
simple republicanism is unspeakably
repugnant to him. The ideals which
the typical mugwump worships are
those of foreign and aristOcratic lands
He is for free trade because he knows
that free trade will widen the breach
between employer and employed, be-
cause he knows that it will lower the
wages of labor. because it will make
the rich richer and the poor poorer
He hates the thought of the industrial
independence of the United States. He
has no patience with the grand project
of extending American trade and
American influence in the rich regions
of Latin America He does not want
the American people to have a navy
lest they should be tempted to use it in
maintaining American rights against
foreign, and especially against British
aggression. He is bitterly opposed to
the creation of an American CONNER
cial marine because it would be an
tagonistic to British interests; and he
can hardly wait for the assemblage of
the Fifty-third congress in extra ses-
sion in his anxiety to see the patriotic
postal subsidy act of the republican

A FIawless Record.

The republican party has been de-
feated, but no reproach of any kind
rests upon its candidate for the nations
highest gift. President Harrison has
borne himself through the canvass
with the same modesty, courage and I'M
ostentatious manliness that have char
acteSized him in all his private and
public life. No friend of his regrets a
single action or utterance of the presi-
dent. He has won and he retains the
sincere respect of the Am erican peo-
pie. As a man and magistrate he has
constantly strengthened himself in the
esteem of intelligent and patriotic
Americans. His honest devotion to
what he considers his country's best
interests has never been seriously ques-
toned, even by his most virulent OPP
ponents The record of Benjamin Har-
rison in the army of the nations de-
tenders, in the senate and in the white
house is one of which the republican
party is proud. He is an American,
who represents all that is noblest and
most patriotic in American history
