session, in the house of representatives on
Wednesday. The committee on rules re-
ported a special order setting apart

Grafton of the Stewart free coinage bill. en-
acted by the Senate and the question was
called up promptly at the opening of

and Mr.. Burrows of Michigan led the Re

and it was by Republican votes that the
scheme Of the silver men was killed. al
though an unexpected number of Demo
Gratis, alarmed for the possible effect on
their party'S chances in the campaign, vot-
ed on the sound money side 1t was evil
dent, however, that what the Democrats
really wanted to do was to dispose of the
matter until after November.
Two votes were taken The first was on
the adoption of the previous question.
The second was on the adoption of the
resolution from the committee on rules.
providing for setting apart two days for
motion for the previous question was
defeated by vote of 163 ayes to 129
nays. The resolution itself was reject
ed by a vote of 1876 yeas to lj4 nays
The aggregate of the vote on the motion
by which the previous question was re-
iected was 292. The New York Tribune
gives this analysis of the vote on the reso-
luton, as it stood between the two parties.
"Of the 1886 votes for the resolution, l27 were
cast by the Democrats-being ma iority of 81 in
the total Democratic membership and only nine
cast by Republicans. OF the votes against
the resolution, - were cast by Republicans, and
9j by Democrats OF the Democratic members
who voted. ma iority of 81 was recorded in favCr
OF the resolution: and Of the Republican MEM
bers who voted. a majority Of 80 was recorded
against the resolution In other words about -
per cent Of the Republican vote was against the
resolution. and 13 per cent for il, while 81 per
cent Of the Democratic vote was for the resolu-
ton, and 43 per cent against It,"
Briefly stated, the record of the two par
ties was as follows:

Democratic majority for free silver y
Republican vote for free silver

The CIeveIands Object.

Grover Cleveland has done a sensible
thing in refusing to let his wife's name be
mixed up in politics. Mrs. Mary Frost
Ormsby is New York woman who is anx-
ious to be leader in woman's movement
to help the Democratic cause, and she sent
Mrs. Cleveland notice of the formation of
a "Frances Cleveland Influence club" the
first of many such clubs which she hoped
to see organized. In reply Mr.. Cleveland
sent Mrs. Ormsby letter, thanking her
for her kind intentions, but saying: "It is,
however, impossible for us to approve of
the use of Mrs. Cleveland's name in the
designation of clubs designed to do political
work. We trust you will not undervalue
our objection, because it rests upon the
sentiment that the name now sacred in the
home circle as wife and mother may well
be spared in the organization and operation
of clubs created to exert political influence"

Not Always a CoId-water Man.
From the Boston Journal.


Gen. Bidwell, Prohibitionist candidate
for President, has a good deal better right
to his military title than "Gen." Steven
son. The cold-water leader commanded a
brigade of California home guards during
the war. He was not a cold-water man
then, however, nor, indeed, for years after
ward He was one of the original Califor-
mia pioneers, and tradition has it that they
were not exactly teetOtalers. Bidwell had
a big vineyard in Butte county. He raised
grapes there, and they were wine grapes
He had winery and still house, and for
20 years the individual who now heads the
Prohibition ticket was next to the largest
wine and brandy producer in California
1t was in this business that he accumulated
the millions which will go to lubricate the
wheels of the Prohibition machine this
summer. For the first time probably in
all its history, the third party now has a
reformed distiller at its head. For Gen.
Bidwell did reform. He reformed to please
his wife, and he now sells the product of
his 150-acre vineyard in the open market,
instead of converting them into spirituous
fluids on his own premises. 1t is an in
spring or chilling reflection, according as
you look at it, that big fortune gained in
the wine and brandy trade is going to be
used to pay the rent of Prohibition head
quarters, and hire Prohibition orators and
Prohibition tOrchbearers during the cam
paign. Some people will like the notion,
other people wont. But it is something of
a novelty in Prohibition politics, in the
national field at least.

A Great Dny for the Demoornts.

The Democratic House of Representatives
got in great days work last Saturday. 1t
began operations by suspending the rules,
and then the majority rode rough shod over
everything. Its first great act was to pass
the bill taking the tariff off tin plate and
this was done by vote of 2O7 to So. This
bill provides that after the first day of next
October tin plate of all kinds shall pay a
duty of only one cent a pound, and that
after Oct. l, 1894, it shall come in free of
duty. In other words notice was given to
those who are trying to build up the tin
plate industry in this country that it shan't
be done if the Democratic party can help
it.
Then they took up the lead ore bill and
passed it, 1865 to 62. This bill provides
that silver and lead ores, in which the val
lie of the silver is greater than the value

The whole business world sees that the
overwhelming majority of Democrats stand
ready to enact free coinage as soon as they
can without sacrificing the presidential cleo
tion. If the party can get power, it will
not hesitate to do what Democratic masses
of the West and South passionately de-
mand. 1t will bring to bear upon any
President elected by Democratic votes a
kind of coercion which no such president
has ever resisted namely, the dictates of
party caucus, with an appeal to save the
party from overthrow in the states where
the silver craze now prevails.
In the light of this and previous votes,
one thing seems to be plain. The men
who desire sound currency in this coun-
try cannot afford to put the Democratic
party into power. What its prejudices and
tendencies are they must now know. What
restraining force there may be, at any time,
with that party in control of the govern
ment, no man can safely calculate. There
IS but one safe thing to do, and that is to
intrust the government to the only party
which has upheld and still upholds honest
money, by the election of the Republican
national candidates and Republican Con-
greSs,

BIaine,s Cordial Letter.

Among the many kilograms and letters
of congratulations received by Secretary
Foster on entering upon the duties of sec
retary of state was the following:
BAR HARBoR, July 6.
My Dear MIR. Foster:-I ought sooner to have
written you a word Of congratulation on your ap-
pontment as secretary Of state, which most
heartily do now. am very glad you are appoint
ed. You will be able to do better service than
any man new to the department. Very truly and
cordially your friend JAMES G. BLAINE"
This cordial expression would seem to
explode the story that Mr.. Blaine resigned
in sudden fit of anger at Mr.. Fosters in
reference in state department affairs.
