THERE is not a little satisfaction ex-
pressed in New England that the new Catho-
lie Bishop OF Springfield, Mass, is an Ameri-
can, and graduate of the public schools Of
the city which is the seat of his bishopric.
This helps along the Americanization of the
Catholic Church, of which he has always
been an earnest advocate, and which all
Americans-na and foreignborn alike
greatly desire.

PUBLIC sympathy cannot help being,
to q certain extent, with the strikers in
the Tennessee coal mines. Independent
of the dislike to competing with con-
vict labor, there are inconceivable wrongs
connected with the convict labor system
which must arouse the Indignation OF
all who know of them. The penitentiary
system of the Southern States is a vast sys-
tenn of corruption. Rings of politicians con-
troll the convict labor, and fill their pockets
out of its sale to their favorites. 1t is to
their interest to have as many convicts as
possible to farm out, and they encourage
convictions for all offsnses. The whole sys-
tenn is a burning disgrace to the country.

woMAN,s RELIEF CORPS.

Misrepresentation have been industri-
ously spread abroad as to the character of
the entertainment to be offered the W.R.C
in Washington during the coming National
Encampment. The National President Of
the W.R.C. has been misled by these into
making statements that do injustice to the
people of Washington.
There is no basis whatever for fear that
the entertainment of the WR.C. in Wash
ington will fall in any degree below that
of other cities which have been honored
by the meeting of the National Conven-
ton of the W.R.C. A large sum of
money has been appropriated for that pur-
pose and placed in the hands of very
competent committee Of ladies, at the head
whom is Miss Clara Barton, whose name is
a synonym all over Europe and America
for high womanly capacity, generosity of
thought, and executive ability.
This committee, of which Mrs. John A.
Logan is an honored member, is making the
amplest preparations for the entertainment
of the W.R.C. Most of the members be-
long to the W.RC. They are thoroughly ac-
quainted with that grand association of wo-
men, appreciate fully its worth, and the no.
bility of its mission. They will leave moth
ing in their power undone to make the visit
Of the W.RC. to Washington thoroughly
satisfactory.

The National Cordage Company's Gil
gantIc Scheme Exposed.

CHICAGO. Feb. 9.-The Inter Ocean will
publish tomorrow a two-column expose
OF an alleged scheme whereby the
National Cordage Trust, through conni-
vance with number of leading alliance
officials, is attempting to get control of
not only all present alliance stores in
the country, but 1000 additional ones
the trust proposes starting. Statements
are. made by D. NJ. Fulwilder, state
business agent for the alliance in Illinois.
E. E. Whipple, of the Whipple Harrow
Company, of St. Johns, Mich, and
William Deering & Sons, of Chicago,
that place certain prominent alliance
leaders in compromising position.
Alonzo Wardall, member, of the
farmers alliance and industrial union,
admits, SO the Inter Ocean says, that he
is hired by the National Union COM
pany, an agency through which the
Cordage Company is operating, and also
admitted to E. E. Whipple that he
thought the National Cordage Company
is behind or largely interested in the
National Union, as he knew that Mr..
Waterbury, the National Cordage pres
ident, gave his check to the Union com
pany last summer for $125, 600, and he
(Wardall) had it in his possession sew
eral days., showing it to the Hboys''
while in New York last June.

Wants to Press the Button.

PHILADEIPHIA, Feb. George Potts,
father of Helen Potts-Harris, for whose
murder young Harris has recently been
convicted in New York, is in West .Ches-
ter, Pa. He talks freely of the murder;
in fact, his mind seems to be centered on
the details of the awful tragedy, and he
can talk OF nothing else for any consid-
cradle period. His feelings toward Har
ris are very bitter and he is reported to
have said 81 hope I may be allowed to

chine that kills the man that murdered
my daughter. I shall make application
to the authorities for the privilege.

her gratitude for the sympathy of the
people in her late bereavement. Among
other things the message stated an agree

GENERAL FEATURES OF THE BILL
Queen Victoria Makes Speech to the
Parliament.
HE WANTS TO BE EEvENGED.
And VIII Petition the Authorities to
Let Him Press the Button---Spots
on the Sun.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The silver issue
of the fifty-second congress has been de-
fined, and the Bland free coinag bill is to
be ordered favorably reported by the
house committee on coinage, weights
and measures tomorrow. This was
formerly decided upon by the free coin
age members of the committee, and is
the result of a series of conferences
among free coinage men, which closed
today. 1t has been determined that not
only shall the Bland bill be favorably
reported, but that speedy consideration
shall be forced in the house. Free coin
ags men tonight claim that of 332 mem
bers of the house they will have 200
votes in favor of the bill. Ten or eleven
of these, they say, will be republicans and
the remainder democrats. OF the op-
ponents to free coinage about 40 will
come from the democratic side.
The bill provides that the unit value
shall be the standard silver dollar as now
coined. 1t is made legal tender for all
debts. Any one having 500 worth or
more of silver bullion of standard fine
ness shall be entitled to have it coined
free of charge or he may deposit the
same at the mint and receive in ex-
change coin notes equal in amount to
the coinage value of the bullion de-
posted. The coin notes in denomina-
tions of 81 to $1,000 shall be legal
tender. The notes are made redeemable
in coin.
The bill further provides that SO soon
as France shall reopen her mints to the
free and unrestricted coinage of silver at
her present rate of fifteen and one-half
pounds of silver to be worth one pound
of gold, troy, it viii be the duty of the
president of the United States to make
public proclamation of that fact, where
upon the said ratio shall be the legal
ratio of the United States, and thereaf-
ter the standard silver dollar shall con-
slst of 400 grains of standard silver and
dollars of 4l21a grains in the treasury,
or coming in thereafter, shall be coined
as fast as practicable into dollars of 400
grains, any gains arising therefroni to be
accounted tor into the treasury.

such bill, with the promise that he and
other Republicans would vote for it. Bu.
the bill never appeared. That record
harmonizes very poorly with the present
Democratic indignation at the Sugar
Trust-for campaign purposes only.
The fact is that the Sugar Trust has
been, as much as any mammon-seeking
organization can be. Democratic con-
cern. 1t is headed by leading Democrat
of New York and has always received
very tender treatment from the Democ-
racy. The record we have referred; to
needs but one thing to complete the proof
of this assertion, and that is the charge
made on the floor of the House that the
Mills bill was altered to suit the wishes of
the Sugar Trust and at its dictation. Mr..
Breckenridge. of Kentucky, tried to deny
this charge, but was forced to admit that
after an informal conference with Mr..
Hayemyer. between the 18th and 10th of
March, the change was made in the Sugar
schedule of the Mills bill which that COM
bination desired.
The party whose great tariff measure
was framed to suit the Sugar Trust, and
which never proposed to disturb that
Trust in the last House, does not make a
very good appearance in the attempt to
charge the monopoly on the party which
cut down the Trusts duty from SIC to &c

PEARY,S WANnERINGs.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found a
graphic description of Lieutenant Peary's
journeyings over Greenland's finland
Ice,' from his own pen. The hard work
which must be undertaken by an Arctic
explorer and the many obstacles, little a I'D
big, which he must overcome are set forth
so distinctly that one wonders more than
ever at the strength of an infatuation for
science which will induce men to set out
on such perilous enterprise.
Somewhat has been added to the sum
of scientific knowledge, few more miles
of inhospitable and uninhabitable regions
have been mapped out, and specimens
have been collected at the risk of price,
less human lives One cannot but doubt
very seriously whether the game be worth
the candle, but meanwhile the description
of the game makes reading as full of inter-
est as such adventurous expeditions must
be. The narrative secured and published
by THE DISPATCH this morning gives the
public an opportunity to judge for itself

THE BALLOT GOES.

The deciination of the Supreme Court
to assume jurisdiction on the bill in equity
filed week ago leaves the Interpretation
of the law advanced by that proceeding
without an authoritative ruling. 1t is
permissible, however, to suppose that if
the Court had been of opinion that the
ballots to be used were not in accordance
with the law it would have assumed
jurisdiction in order to prevent the
calamity of an illegal election.
The fact is that the act hardly permits
any other idea than that all the voting to
be done at any election is to be by single
ballot. 1t requires that all ballots used at
any voting place shall be identical, and
further enacts that no voter shall be
given more than one ballot Some of its
other terms may be little equivocal, but
these provisions indicate the intention
that there shall be single ballot, as is
the case in the Australian system which
this act copies. Whether the division of
ballots proposed by the rejected bill in
equity would not be more convenient. less
costly and more easily counted and filed,
is a question for future discussion. The
present question is what the law enacts,
and we believe that, after good deal of
wobbling, a reasonably fair adherenceto
the law has been secured.
The present duty is to see that all voters
understand the new system of voting
sufficiently to prevent any man from los
ing his vote through the failure to use his
ballot properly.
