IT'S SILENCE THEY WANT.

Says the Minneapolis Times, "the
Bland bill is unQuestionably "a dead
cock in the pitt for this session of
congress at least, so that further
argument upon the fallacies of free
coinage would seem to be superflu-
ous.n It is curious how anxious many
Democrats are to have arguments
upon financial questions come to an
end, and their thought in this is not
for the good of the country, but for
their party's salvation. 1t is a some
what peculiar fact too, that this ap-
peal comes almost if not entirely from
the Cleveland wing of the party.
There may be good reason for this.
The South and West are the portions
most thoroughly impregnated with
the free silver lunacy. Mr.. Cleveland
is not in sympathy with this. Not
only does he seriously object to their
views in this matter, but he agrees
entirely with the single gold standard
idea of Wall street. Should he be
successful in again reaching the White
House he would go there as the direct
representative of the gold bugs"
If the matter is thoroughly discussed
previous to the Chicago convention.
it might seriously interfere with his
chances there. What the Cleveland
ties most fear is a revolt before the
convention. If they can shut off
further discussion and get their man
nominated they rest upon the ira
ditional qualities Of Democracy to
swallow anything and everything,
and fear not for the future so far as
Democratic strongholds are concern
oil

Mills Takes the Oath.

WASHINGTON, harcA Representa-

Goth birthday by becoming Senator
Mills. The ceremony of his assumption
of the Office was interesting as such af-
fairs usually are, and more so, by rea-
son of the presence of about fifty of Mr..
Mills colleagues in the house, who
came over from that body to see him
take the oath. The space in the rear of
the seats Of the Democratic senators
was filled by Democratic representa-
. tives while a few Republican colleagues
of the noted tariff reformer sat ON the
sofas on the Republican side of the
chamber. The galleries were fairly
we'll filed.

PEOPLE AND EVENTS.

The Rev. Epaminondas ]. Pierce
Of Philadelphia, has left his estate
valued at $1,000 for the education
Of colored youths for the ministry.
A living ant hill has been trans
planted to the Academy of Natural
Sciences in Philadelphia, where it
forms one Of the strangest exhibits.
ever discovered.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has
not fer thirty years allowed any mail
to be delivered at his country resi-
dence on Sunday, and he scrupulously
avoids reading any letter on that
day.
An American who saw the German
Emperor as he rode among the rioters
during that famous outbreak in Ber-
lin recently, writes: ''His paid, half
lead. half-leather- colored face, indi-
Gated to me sick person. His funer-
al countenance recalled to me the
simile employed by the witty oppo-
nent Of a Great British statesman who
once spoke of the latter's smile as re-
minding him of the shining silver
plates on coffin. +"
There is-a scheme afoot to create a
greater Boston, by including sixty
eight towns and cities in one vast
metropolitan district, with Boston as
the hub. The author of the scheme,
whose name is Smith, hopes to over
come local jealousies by letting each
town in the proposed metropolis man
age its own local affairs. But Boston
appears to be somewhat lukemarm in
the matter, asking, with fine scorn.
how there can be any greater Boston
than the Boston that now is.
