CARLISLE ON SILVER.

Senator Carlisle writes 10 friend: 1T
is my opinion that the declarations made
upon the subject tthe free coinage OF silver
by the Democratic party in its recent ma
tional party convention are perfectly SOUND
in principle and enunciate the. only true
public policy" Let us see now what the
Democratic declarations are. After de-
nouncing the Sherman act OF 1880 as cow
ardly makeshift, the silver resolution con-
tinues: I'VE cid TO the use of both gold
and silver as the standard money of the
country and to the coinage of both gold and
silver, without discriminating against either
metal or charge for mintsge. but the dollar
of the unit coinage Of both metals must be
Of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value,
either adjusted through international agree
ment or by u.h safeguards of legislation as
shall insure the maintenance Of parity be-
tween the two metals, and the equal power
of every dollar. at all times. in the market
and in payment Of debts; and we demand
that the paper currency be kept a par with
and redeemabe in such coin" Mr.. Car
isle must perceive that this flourish lodges
the silver question as presented to legislation.
Silver and geld are not now at parity with
each other on the established ratio. The
problem is how to bring them together.
Inc hepuOucan poIlcy OF purchasing the
surplus OF silver in order TO cause a rise In
the market price Is denounced as a make
shift. No other plan or policy is proposed,
yet Mr.. Carlisle ndOrses it. What does lie
indorse? Mr.. Carlisle seems to be IN the posi-
tion of an orator who made speech of

ject of the speech?" asked one who did not

party do? On that subject both orator and
platform are silent Mr. Cleveland. how

Removal OF the Bodies OF Bryan O'Con-

The remains of the late Bryan O'Cnnnor
and his wife, Mrs. Mary Josephine O'Con-
nor, were removed on Tuesday morning
from the family plat In Calvary Cemetery
10 their final resting place IN the new Gene
terry of the Holy Gross, San Mateo County.
The latter consists of a massive and beauti-
full mausoleum. purely Gothic in style, and
constructed of the finest California granite.
with white marble interior and richly Orna-
mental bronze door and windows. The
erection Of this monument TO the memory
OF the distinguished merchant was provided
for by the last will and testament of his
wife, whose sad death in the Oakland
drawbrldge catastrophe. on Decoration day,
1890 prevented the carrying out by herself
OF the work of wifely affection which she
had already undertaken. The plat in the
new cemetery had been selected by Mrs
OConn0r, and after her death the duty Of
erecting the mausOleum was assumed by
her Tesidnary heirs.
According 10 the terms of Mrs. O'COH-
noTs VIII the sum of $4,000 was designated
TO detray the cost Of the structure, but her
surviving relatives increased the amount TO
over $4,000. and the msusOleum, which
was erected upon plans preuared by ArchI-
teet 1. j. Welsh of this city, is therefore
