LISBON, Feb. IA shors-lived but tremen-

A PERPLExING POSITION.
TIE Democrats Find Themselves Troubled
About the Silver Question.


About the Silver Question.
1t has reached a point now where it seems
impossible to prevent the passage of a free
coinage bill through the House. MANY mem
bers who are anxious to prevent the silver
question from acquiring any greater importance
an issue than it has now have come to the
conclusion that the passage of the bill
being inevitable it will be best to have it done
with as quickly as possible and with no more
noise or discussion than cannot be avoided.
They say that the passage of the bill, IL it does
not take up too much of the time Of the
House, will amount nearly to an official
recording of what is already known to the
whole country-that a majority of the House
are in favor of free coinage. They think that
perhaps the best they can make OF a bad situa-
ton is to let the House do as it pleases with
this question as speedily as possible without
any part being taken in the matter by
the committee on rules. To counter
is proposed to keep the tariff TO the front by
pressing it vigorously and making a radical
advance in the line of tariff reform.
Many of the democrats fear THAT the sitla-
ton is such now that the more fight there Is
made to keep free coinage bill down the
more prominent the issue will be made. With
the silver bill out of the way, without any
chance of becoming a law. the attention of Con-
gress and the country may be kept so occupied
with the tariff to cause the silver question TO
drop out of sight. This may not open
very bright prospect fog the eastern
anti-silver democrats, but there are many who
believe il to be about the best that can be done.
The democrats find themselves in u very per-
picking position.
