A Trouhlesome Question.

The brief correspondence between Senator
Hill and Representative Harter. published
in the Washington dispatches Of the Morn
ING NEWS yesterday, shows that the silver
! question is a very troublesome one to the
| Democratic party, and that it promises 70
become even more troublesome in the near
future Representative Harter asked
Senator Hill whether or not he was in
favor Of the Bland bill He
asked him this question because
the senator IS candidate for
the democratic nomination for President
Senator Hill replied by asking Representa-
tive Harter If be would support the presi-
Dental nominee Of the Democratic party II
that party should put a plank in its plat
form in favor OF the free coinage Of silver.
Representative Harter answered that he,
would not.
Senator Hin refused 20 give a direct an
swer. He does not want to 90 on record as
being for or against the free coinage OF
silver. He cannot afford to do so. And
yet IL is difficult to see how be IL going to
avoid taking one side or other of the silver
question. Ali the indications are now that
the Bland bill will be passed by the House
aud be voted on in the Senate. In the
Senate be will have 10 vote on 1t or remain
away from the Senate when the vote is
taken. If he takes the latter course
he will injure his prospects for the presi-
Dental nomination. because the Democratic
party would hardly dare 10 nominate a CAM
didate of whom IL would he said in the cam
pAign that he was afraid to take a decided
stand upon one Of the most important ques-
tions before the country.
But what do those democrats OF the House
hope 10 gain by forcing vote in
that body on the silver question:
They know that the Bland bill will not be-
come law during this administration. II it
reaches the President be will veto ID. He
has said as much. By vetoing the bill he
would strengthen bis party in the doubtful
eastern states without endanRering its hold
upon any OF the western states The passing
Of the Bland bill, therefore. by the House
is simply playing into the hands Of the
Republican party.
In New York and other states there are
thousands Of democrats who would not vote
the democratic ticket at the presidential
election il they had reason to believe that
by doing so they would be helping to make
the coinage Of silver free. Representative
Harter. in bis answer to Senator Hills in
quiry, expressed their sentiments.
1t looks. therefore, as il the silver demo-
Gratis Of the House were making a great
mistake. Evidently Senator Hill thinks
they are. or else be would have stated
frankly TO Representative Harter that he
would vote for the Blaud bill If an oppor-
tunity to do 80 should be presented.
The Democratic party can elect the next
President on the tariff issue, but if it forces
the silver issue into the campaign It's ability
to do so is doubtful.

Diamonds in the BOUQUET.

In box at Roster & Balls, in New York, on
Thusday last there was gay party. says the
Philadelphia Telegraph. Il was composed of
Harry Rossnfeld Of Chicago and his friends.
Mr.. RoSenteld is world-worn and blase. Some
time ago the cables daily told of his remarkable
luck at Monte Carlo, where he plunged to such
an extent on the games as to be the talk OF the
season. He Is a smooth faced chap, apparently
not over y, with keen gray eyes, a small, WE'LL
defined nose, and O firm mouth. He dresses
quietly. and one meeting him in the lobby of
the Hoffman house, where he is stopping would
probably take him for a downtown clerk with
no more than 50 in his pocket. But Mr.. Rosen-
feds promenade roll is probably hundreds of
times that amount.
On Thursday night Rosenfeld had in the box
bunch OF flowers as big as fellows head the
morning after the AriOn ball. 1t was tied with
great streamer of lavender ribbon. When
Jennie Joyce, in all the discomfort of a long
gown, came upon the stage Rosenfeld bright
ened up The whole Tenderloin knows 20,

field. OF all the varied ditties he had heard this
was the most striking.
That's q corker," said he. as he caught IN
the huge bouquet. Th9n hs drew two uncut
diamonds from hla pocket and wrapped them in
piece OF programme. He then thrust them
into the mass of flowers.
The singer came in again and sang a verse
about young man who met a lady at a hall.
The Arion was to be the following night, and
perhaps the song had in it something OF
prophecy. The Chicago man chuckled, and
hurled the flowers, diamonds and all down to
the stage. They didn't land at the singers feet,
but nearly caused her TO lose her balance by
striking her fairly on the side OF the head She
smiled as though she we're saying, ut never
touched me" The house so vociferously ap-
plauded that the great pail of tobacco smoke
was broken into clouds like mackerel sky.
Then Jennie finished the verses, kissed her
finger tips toward the box and with the flowers
and the two crystallzed dewdrops vanished.
Those stones weighed about a carat each, -

The Fraa wool Bnl

I The debate on the free wool bill is bring
ing out clearly the fact that the wool grow
ers have not been bensfted in the least by
the extraordinary high duties on wool i'm
posed by the Mckinley tariff. The figures
that Mr.. McMillin presented in his opening
I argument in behalf Of the bill show that the
price of wool has declined since the enact
ment of the Mckinley tariff, and that
sheep growing is less profitable than ever
before in the states in which it had become
established under low wool tariff. There
is no reason, therefore, why the sheep
growers should insist upon the existing high
wool tariff beng maintained.
And II does not appear that the Mckinley
tariff has helped the manufacturers Of
wooden goods. They have not been able to
get supply of raw material at such prices
as would enable them to compete with for
eign manufacturers of wooden goods. and
hence their business has been stunted- In
other words. their foreign competitors have
been able to undersell them in the markets
Of the world
Who, then, has been benefited by the Nc
Kinley wool tariff Not the consumers,
certainly. The farmer and the laborer, al
though their incomes have not been in
creased, have had Tn pay considerably more
for all kinds Of wooden goods. The increase
in the cost Of wooden blankets and clothes
has been very marked. This increase is
not, Of course, a matter OF much conse-
quence TO those who have large incomes.
but it bears heavily upon those whore earn
ings are 30 small as to meet only the de-
mands for the necessaries Of life.
The effort Of Mr.. Dingley to answer Mr..
McMillin's speech was not successful one.
He evaded the points that were Of real i'm
portance and tried to make It appear that
the people were more than compensated for
the higher prices Of wooden goods by the
lower price of sugar. The whole tenor of
his argument was a virtual admission that
the Mckinley wool duties imposed heavy
burden upon the people without doing wool
| producers, wool manufacturers or the con-
sumers Of wooden goods any good. The
| House will pass the free wool BILL and II the
Senate refuses to pass 1t the Republican
party will be placed In very uncomfortable
position.

Keep An Eye on Flower.

Gov. Flower, OF New York, is beginning
to attract the attention of democratic
leaders in that state, and now and then a
whisper is heard that he is dark horse in
the race for the presidential nomination OF
his party. For a time after be entered
upon the duties of his Office he
was sneered at by both democrats
and republicans because he acted as If he
had no will Of his own. He is beginning to
assert himself, and consequently respect for
him isgrowing. Within the last few days
he has taken a most decided stand with re-
gard to a number of important measures
which, in his opinion, are not for the benefit
of the public, though their promoters pre-
tend they are.
The truth is probably that when be be-
came governor he was not wholly free to do
as he pleased. But from present appearances
he has paid his political debts and is now
able to show what sort Of man he is.
1t has been limited to him a number of
times recently that his chances for getting
the nomination for President are good,
and 1t begins to look as If these hints had
made an impression upon him. The breach
in the ranks Of the New York democracy is
growing wider. and the May convention of
the anu-Hin men may be OF sufficient Inn
portance to convince the national conven-
ton that It would not be advisa-
BILE to nominate either Mr.. Cleveland
or Senator Hill. In that event Gov. Flower
might be pushed to the front as the man
who would be satisfactory to both factions
Of the New York democracy. 1t would be
well to keep him In mind in making list
of those available for the nomination.

A lotion of the Central Direotore.

There never was any good ground for
thinking that the Richmond Terminal
would not defend the lease OF the Central
to the Georgia Pacific. The action of the
directors OF the Central company yesterday
indicates that the Terminal does not intend
to permit the lease TO be broken without an
effort to maintain IL. Gen. Thomas and
Mr.. lnman have been represented in the
public prints as being Indifferent as to
whether the lease 10 broken or not. II they
gave out such an impression they had a
purpose in doing so.
IL is probable that the question of the
validity of the lease will not be settled as
promptly as Ii was at first thought it would
be. It looks now as il there would be a
long legal battle. When it first became
known that an attack upon the lease had
been made it was predicted by many that
the Richmond Terminal would make no
defense for the alleged reason that de-
Tense would be useless-the invaiidity of
the lease being generally assumed.
But all she points that arc made against
the lease in Mrs Clarke's bill were known
to the Richmend Terminal Company before
VIC ieoso was utnWns anu IL IL reasonable TO
suppose they were submitted to competent
lawyers for advice with regard to them. II
they were not. and the lease was made with
the knowledge that it was not binding, the
Terminal people have very loose way of
doing business.
But IL the lease should be declared void
may not the Terminal still retain control of
the Centran Can the court take from il
all control over its 10000 shares of Central
stock9 That is an interesting question and
one that is likely to command good deal
OF the courts attention.
In the meantime Mr.. Olcott says his plan
Of reorganization has been abandoned and a
new plan 10 being considered in which the
Central may or may not be included. No
hint is given as to what the plan is.

quite an amount of silver money on hand-sn
much in fact, that she went to the bank aud
deposited It in her name.
Then, speaking to the cashier. the lady said
