Mr.. Bland still processes some confidence
that he viii be able to get his silver bill
through the House, but the opinion of
the best judges is that the bill is dead for
this session. The prestige of substan-
tial victory which the anti-silver men got
in the first encounter will help them in the
second. There are always acertain num-
Der of men on the fence ready to get
down on what promises to be the win
ming side, and these men are likely to
turn up voting against Mr.. Bland the
next time his bill makes it's appearance
in the House. But whether the bill
passes or not makes little difference. If
it passes it cannot become law, and if
does not pass the attempt of the Demo-
Gratis to conceal the attitude of their
party on the question will have failed
inasmuch as the votes already taken have
settled that and shown the country that
the great majority of the Democratic
representatives are in favor of free coin
age, and that the chief obstacle to their
making it the policy Of the country is
the Republican party. No amount of
sophistry can obscure the meaning of the
votes already taken.

TPThe Boston Herald's Washington cor
respondent declares that it is absolutely
certain that Cleveland will have the ma
iority of the delegates to the Democratic
national convention, and ventures the
prediction that it will be made two-thirds
before the convention meets. This is
doubtless altogether too rosy view of
the situation, yet that there are signs
that Cleyeland's chances have improved
somewhat of late Hills brazen self
seeking has disguised a good many OF
the better element of the Democracy and
reused them to make determined fight
against his candidacy and in favor of
Cleveland The practical defeat of the
silver bill has helped Cleveland also, and
the indirect condemnation by a jury of
distinguished Democrats of the methods
by which Hill succeeded in capturing
the New York legislature has not been
without effect. The fact is that a reac-
ton has set in against Hills smartness,
and that individuals chances are waning
every day, with the consequence of i'm
proving Cleveland's prospects. Hills
grip upon New York yet remains, how
ever, and is likely to until the conven-
ton meets. Hill will be in position,
therefore, to threaten the convention
with the loss of state which is essential
to success, and everything in his career
goes to show that he will not hesitate to
use his power in this direction to down
Mr.. Cleveland. The convention may
have the courage to ignore his threats,
but if it does, it will be much more
courageous than Democratic conventions
have been in the past

in favor of Mr.. Cleveland appears some
what impertinent Gov. Gray has been
mentioned few times as possible Demo-

that he was ever in the field at his own
suggestion or that he has ever author
lied the use of his name. The people

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Sir Philip Sidney. Type of English
Chivalry in the Elizabethan Age. By 81.
Fox Browne, author of The Life of John
Locke, &c. (New York: G. P. Putnam's
Sons; Portland: Lorng, Short & Har-
mon) This volume, which is one of the
Heroes of the Nation Series, is partly
based, the author tells us, on the Mem
DIR of Sir Philip Sidney published in
1852, though so many additions have
been made to it, and the old matter has
been so fully rewritten as to make it
substantially new volume, The story
of Sidney's romantic life is told simply,
but picturesquely, and with sufficient
detail to satisfy the general reader. The
illustrations, which are numerous and
good, add much to the interest Of the
book. There is an excellent index.
Vermont. A Study of Independence.
By Rowland E. Robinson. Boston:
Houghton, Mifiin & Co.; Portland: Lor-
ing, Short & Harmony This is one of
the excellent American Commonwealth
Series edited by Mr.. Horace E. Scudder.
Mr.. Robinson's narrative of the career of
the Green Mountain State covers all the
salient features of it's history from 1909,
when Champlain made his voyage up the
lake which bears his name, down to the
present day. Of course it was impossi-
BILE to tell within the limits prescribed
for the American Commonwealth series
the story of the State in detail. Neces-
sarily this volume is but an historical
sketch; but it is sketch which pre-
serves all the conspicuous events of its
career and tells them in an attractive
and impressive manner. 1t is sufficient
commentator of the book to say that it
is fully up in merit to its predecessors in
this excellent series.
Stories from English History for
Young Americans. Copiously illus
trated., (New York: Harper & Broth
ers; Portland: Loring, Short & Har-
mon.) The most striking events in Eng
lish history from the invasion of the Ro-
mans down to the reign of Victoria are
depicted in this volume, which is spe-
cially prepared for American boys and
girls. The book is really good history
of England, but relieved of the tedious
ness which would make it repulsive to
youth by being cut up into short stories,
every one of which is sufficiently com
plete in itself to be read separately. The
book ought to be as attractive to the
young readers as it will be valuable.

Political Justice.

Editorial in Economist-Falcon.
We have recently been deliberating
upon the Gubernatorial question in
Nor,h Carolina and have only been
waiting for the opportune occasion to
express an opinion upon the subject of
the nomination by the next Democratic
Convention. That time, in our opin-
ion, has arrived and while we have
no antagonism with the gentlemen
whose names have been sug-
gested for the Democratic nom-
ination, it is our decided opinion
that the State of North Carolina
owes it 10 its, If and to the patriotic
citizen who is now the incumbent OF
the office, that he should be renomi-
mated for the same position. and re-
nominated with a unanimity that will
exert powerful moral effect in the
election by the people. His renomi.
nation would be in accordance with
the precedents and usages of the party
and in accordance with the character
of the Sta,e for stability and cOnserva
tism and it would be an act of justic'
to chief executive officer, who ba
discharged his official and social .dutie
with fidelity, carefulness, kindness AM
courtesy.
