The discussion in the Chamber of
Deputies Tuesday, indicates that France
is prepared to approach the silver ques-
tion in very sensible frame OF mind.
Every country in Europe, as a matter Of
fact, has an interest in the matter,
though nowhere except in Great Britain
does the interest approach in magnitude
our own. In Austria measures are
pending that will take $50, 900, 900 francs
in gold out of the London and Paris
markets. The French government can
not help awakening to the necessity OF
sending representatives to the confer
ence to do what they may find reason
ably possible to effect rise in silver,
and prevent gold Withdrawals on scale
to injure the market.
France and more particularly England
will consult its own advantage in
joining III measures to rehabilitate sill
Yer. Germany is lukewarm but on the
whole favorably inclined. The bimetal-
lie movement is gaining ground per-
ceptibly, and probably the only reason
why it does not advance more rapidly
is feeling that the value of silver is
steadily declining and that artificial
methods to sustain it are useless. How
ever this may prove, one country cer-
tainly cannot sustain it alone. What
ever we do must be done through the
conference ard with the concurrence Of
other great silver ,,sinq neonle

AS I WAS SAYING.

Two veteran and successful fishermen
are DIR. A. w. Colvin and Rhodes An
drews. On Wednesday they went to their
favorite trout mine and came home at
night with big appetites end messes Of
fish. A boarder at the Phenix Hotel, of
lord, saw the trout and wanted to throw
a line in the place they came from. This
is the dialogue which ensued between the
boarder and the landlord:
Boarder, MANY fish round here }"
mo"
Catch these round here'"
"Not exactly"
"Oh; very TAR of
mot SO awful far"
"Tf man was going trout fishing,
which would be the best place for him to
goi,
'T don't know: there amt many trout
around this part of the State
gos''
did you go there"
"say, Mr.. Andrews, where did you hook
those trout anyways"
them right over yonder."
And with this obscure and untranslat.
able statement the vanQuished boarder
had to rest satisfied.
Charles Sweet has some quaint SOU
venirs of the past which he rescued from
heap OF junk waiting the arrival OF the
junk dealer. They are the keys, which a
great many years ago, seventy-fve at
least, locked the numerous doors at the
old Ponegansett Factory at Scituate.
The keys are OF very quaint design, of
wrought iron, and are about eight Inches
long and extremely heavy. AS it Is now
a fashionable fad, in conjunction with
ribbon to join them as objects of decora-
ton, these. which Mr.. Sweet has, are
eagerly sought after.
These things were noticed as associated
with Decoration Day; the French Canad-
ian residents, notably those in River
Point, flocked in crowds to the city; the
Irish Americans remained at home here,
entering with personal interest into the
ceremonies of the day. OF course this is
accountable to the fact that at the time of
the civil war there were no French Can
adams residents here while the Irish
were among the first to offer their SER
vices In entering the ranks of the soldiery,
thus having gained a personal interest In
the observances of Memorial Day. 1t was
also noticed that the custom, which here
tofore was regarded but little, that of
decorating the graves of those outside the
limits of the warriors, was this season
given wide attention, nearly every grave
in the cemeteries being covered with
loving, fragrant remembrances. Never
before have the florists filed such large
orders for their merchandise. McGregor
Post decorated 230 graves of comrads;
the first Memorial Day the Post cele-
brated found but sixty mounds to be re-
membered, which shows how rapidly the
veterans are joining the silent majority.

SILVER AND THE SAVINGS BANKS.
The end of Senator Sherman's speech
on silver was worthy Of its forceful be-
ginning. One paragraph especially was
pregnant with meaning. The amount
of deposits in the savings banks of the
country he stated at 81. .623, ,00O, 900, and
what would be the effect of the free
coinage Of silver on that vast amount OF
money? II would take away one-third,
or $500, 900. 900, from its value. If the
depositors should attempt to draw out
their money in gold, or on the basis of
gold, it would precipitate panic and
bankrupt the country.
Mr.. Harter's speech in the House as to
the effect of free silver on the value Of
pensions has been quoted widely all over
the country and was commended by
Mr.. Sherman to the thoughtful consid-
Grafton of Mr.. Harter's fellow Demo
Gratis. The Democratic party which ar
rogantly claims not only to stand for
g the people" but to be the people, in
this matter as in many others, conclu-
sively proves itself unmindful of the
laboring classes, the pensioners and the
savings bank depositors.
