In 1T,

The Washington dispatches tell us
that the mission Of Mr.. Secretary Foster
of the Treasury, to Europe, is to bring
about an international monetary confer
euce. This is doubtless a scheme Of the
Harrison administration TO bridge over
and delay action on the silver question.
Bat IL will all amount to nothing, for
the very good and sufficient reason that
the English government does not desire q
resdjustment Of monetary affairs. 1t
has been pointed out time and again that
it is not to the interest Of England to
join in any policy that will result in the
appreciation of the price Of silver bull
ion. Cheap, and not dear silver is what
she wants, and it Is idle and a mere waste
Of valuable time for the United States to
consult her on the subject. But she is
very likely to pretend to be anxious for
a conference and q settlement simply to
defeat independent action by our own
government. England Is not in the
habit Of committing herself to policies
that are detrimental to her own inter
ests. Deprecated silver bullion will
buy as much wheat or cotton in India Is
appreciated gold bullion or coin.
So long rs we pursue the suicidal
policy Of treating silver as 9 CON
modify. like pig iron or alfalfa
hay, just so long will England
lind it to her interest to stand by the
gold standard. Free coinage, or
coinage Of everything that comes
in this country would bring them to their
senses very quickly ACROSS the Atlantic,
and nothing else will. There is nj other
earthly solution to the question. Mr..
Foster "Calico Charley" as he used to
be called out in Indiana), may come
back with brilliant promises and pros
poets for campaign purposes. but his trip
will be fruitful of no other result. A
desire to deceive and to cheat the people
is always dominant in the gold bug in

the Harrison Administration are firm ad.
herents. We would not pay Mr.. Fosters
fare in the steerage for all he will ac-
complish by his trip.

rHE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
Hill ANN CLEVELAND.

Mr.. Norman E. Mack, the editor OF
the Buffalo IN. " Times, was in San
Francisco last week on his wedding tour.
He lie an able writer and q leading Demo-
crat Of his section Of the Empire State.
At the recent State Convention he was
chosen as one of the Hill delegates to
the Chicago Convention. The Examiner
had an interesting interview with him.
He thought that both Whitney and
Flower stood a good show as black
horses should the convention become dis
gusted over the quarrel between Hill
and Cleveland. But be thinks Hill is q
very able and a very strong man and be-
lieves he is the best possible nomination
the party can make. As Indicating why
the New York Democrats think more oil
Hill than they do Of Cleveland. he. gave
the following explanation which tells the
whole story:
"when Mr.. Cleveland left the Presi-
| denoy he surrendered the reins OF politi-
cal power to MI. Hill. Mr.. Hill was not
slow to grasp his opportunity. He u r
rounded himself with all the available
| political material not only in New York
but In other States. He has fought for
everything that is Democratic. He
has never been afraid to go TO the front
himself and accept the responsibility OF
winning or going down in the fight. In
1890, when the fight was made for the
election Of Congressman, when Cleve.
lands own issue was at stake, the lead
ers of the party appealed to him 10 make
speeches in New York, New Jersey,
Ohio and Connecticut. He refused TO do
is. On the other hand Mr.. Hill went
into the campaign with vim. Major
Mckinley said after his defeat for re.
election to Congress, that Mr.. Hills
speeches in Ohio did it. Mr.. Hill spoke
ia his own State as well as in Ohio, In.
diana, New Jersey aud Connecticut.
This is one of the things that Mr.. Hill
has been doing which has given him such
a tremendous pull with his party in New
York, while Mr.. Cleveland has failed to
grapple with the political opportunities
| Afforded him."

He is an absolute free trader, and for
this reason was unable to get returned

enthusiastic Cleveland man IL is
claimed that there was q conference OF
Mr.. Cleveland and some Of his more
prominent supporters ct Ann Arbor,
Michigan, last week. Frank Hurd was
in the paddle, Of course. and what he
said for publication on his return home
is entitled TO weight accordingly. 10 an
interview. he says positively that Mr..
Cleveland is . candidate for the Presi'
dency. Notwithstanding he will not be
able to muster a single delegate from his
own State. This lie something unheard
Of before In the whole political history OF
the United States, and shows conclu-
sively that Mr.. Cleveland is possessed OF
a consuming desire to advance his per-
sonal interest even at the sacrifice OF the
Democratic party. The declaration oil
Frank Hurd should settle Mr.. Cleveland
irrevocably in the minds Of decent party
men all over the country. II is not true
that Mr.. Cleveland is the popular idol
that the few have painted him. He was
never able, and seemed never to try, to
draw the great mass Of his party closely
to him. Hs does not now, and neve
did, possess q solitary element of success

day, had he New York at his back. as

ton under the circumstances is the wild

sssILvER DICE.''

Richard P. Bland is his correct name.
but "Silver Dick " lie what his intimstes
call him in Missouri. There is 20 man
in America who is doing. OF has ever
done, n half as much for the cause Of
silver as this same Dick Bland. Daring
the present session he seems TO be the
only game and persistent fighter for free
coinage in either House. He stands up
for the cause Ut ell points and places and
under ell circumstances. And u must
not be forgotten that not q ounce Of
silver bullion lie produced in Missouri.
Mr.. Bland lie for silver on principle and
not from any local interest in the ques-
sion. The South in general feels the
same way. But for the Southern Demo.
Gratis silver would not have 9 corporals
guard Of friends in either House Of Con.
gress. And yet this ell counts for but
little In the gratitude Of the people OF
the mining States. The latter seem to
prefer TO send Republicans to Washing
Ton to reinforce the enemies Of silver,
rather than Democrats to strengthen the
hands of their friends. Aside from
Representative Dickerson, Of Montana,
. new member, there is no Democrat in
either House from the mineral West to
urge the Democratic friends to prompt
action for free coinage with q promise oil
support in these States in case they shall
push ID TO a successful issue. The Re-
publican members from out this way are
no doubt praying that no free coinage
bill will be passed by the Democrats.
And Just here Western Republicans
should show their hands. The Demo.
cfats are threatened with loss In the
East IL they shall pass q free coinage bill.
II is proper that the Republicans Of the
mining States should inform them that
they will make good any loss sustained
from that cause. This is the way to
fight and make our influence felt. II we
are going to stick TO party, right Oh
wrong, we had as well abandon the sill
YER contest. There will never be much
accomplished until there is some crossing
OF party lines. In the meantime we can
all afford to feel that Bland lie q true and
able leader Of the silver forces.

A DEMOCRATIC REFORM.

Senator Palmer represents q reform
which is perhaps as vital to the future
welfare Of this country as any other now
being sgitsted in the political arena. He
is the representative Of the Democratic
party in urging it. II was the party
which, In the Illinois campaign Of 1890.
took the initiative in the work OF breaking
away from the old traditions and exem-
p~lifying a new method of choosing United
States Senators which should come
nearer TO the people as the source of all
political power.
The colossal fortunes which have sue
ceeded the Civil War period, and which
have debauched Senatorial elections In
many States, have made such q change a
vital necessity. In control Of q Senate
chosen by caucus the money power
could, by the corruption Of legislatures
snd the skilful manipulation Of votes in
a few doubtful districts in doubtful
States, perpetuate its power, no matter
how frequently or emphatically the peo-
pie in the election OF President and
members Of the House Of Represents
tives might express their condemnation
Of il and their desire to overthrow il.
An illustration Of this may perhaps be
afforded ere long. by the defeat in the
Republican Senate Of all tarif-reform
measures originating in the lower house.
Reform in the election Of Senators is a
necessary part Of the general plan Of re-
form Endorsed by the Democratic party.

THE.sILvER CAUCUS.

Thursday night of last week the
Democratic members Of the House of
Representatives held . conference on the
subject of the free coinage of silver. As
was to have been expected, 30 agree
ment was reached. The anti-silver men
who were hopelessly in the minority,
had refused in advance to be bound by
the action Of the caucus. No sort Of
resolution would therefore have been Of
any avail. BLAND presented q resolution
calling upon the Committee on Rules to
name q day specified for the considera-
tion of his free coinage bill. but the ques-
tion being raised that the Committee on
Rules were willing 10 do this without in.
struction the matter was allowed to
drop. One or two things. however, were
made quite clear by the conference.
First and most important of all is that
the free coinage advocates were shown
TO be largely 10 the ascendant. There is
also q conservative or indifferent batch
of members who. while favoring free
coinage. do not feel sufficient interest in
the question TO care whether or not it is
forced to the front for early considera.
tion. All of this class will vote for the
bill when the roll is called on them. The
pronounced anti.free coinage men are
few in number, but seem capable Of
making a great deal Of noise. They are
all Cleveland men and believe that the
tariff lie the only question before the
country. The Farmers Alliance. how.
ever. lays about as much stress on the
currency question as or the tariff. The
present outlook for silver legislation is
that the Bland bill will be taken up about
March 25th, and after a week'sdebate will
pass the House by q safe majority. What
will become Of il in the Senate no man
can predict at this writing, but we shall
not be surprised TO see ii side.tracked
until after the Presidential election. The
Finance Committee Of the Senate Is q
gold bug outfit and can easily smother
the Bland bill IL it chooses to do so. II
Is pretty apt to feel that way and act ac.
cordingly if it shall discern any danger
Of its passage. The President will not
be allowed to face the question If it can
be avoided.

EIGHT 70 ONE.

We have information from a leading
New York Democrat, himself a admirer
of ex-President Cleveland, that fully
feven.eights of the Democrats of the
State OF New York are for Hill as
against Cleveland. There are, perhaps,
one.eiebth Of the whole party who favor
the ex.President, while but a small por-
tion Of this eighth are at all enthusiastic
in their support. The plain truth is
that Mr.. Cleveland has next to no fol-
lowing at all in the Empire State. And
yet, with the party almost unanimously
against him, the Cleveland press all over
the country are believing about ina
chine rule" in New York. This is
simply the device of a desperate minor
ity. II il is the work Of "the ma
chine in New York every fair minded
must admit that "the machine E" is
a very large one, comprising nearly every
Democratic voter in that great State.
Why, ii should not escape the notice of
the country that in neither of the two
last Democratic State Conventions in
New York was the name Of Grover
Cleveland even so much as mentioned in
A public way by anybody. Was this the
work of "the machine I" also? II the ex-
President is such a popular ~favorite as is
claimed by his admirers 1t would seem
that n friend should pop up somewhere
to sound his praises. The convention
that nominated Governor Flower said
not one word about him. There Is but
one conclusion to be adduced from all Of
these circumstances. The Democrats in
New York are not for Cleveland and
would not support him II he were nomi-
mated. They reason. doubtless. that in
asmuch as he has once had the Presi-
iency and been favored with a second
chance at il, in which he failed, that it
is now time for him to stand aside and
give some one else q show for the great
office. The Democratic party is not q
third term party for the Presidency.
