The Silver Plank.

Major Charles H. Jones, editor of
the st. Louis Republic, and chairman
of the committee ON platform, thus ex-
plains the coinage plank in the plat
form adopted by the Chicago conven-
ton:
"By the coinage plank of its plat
form adopted at Chicago, the democrat
ic party pledges Itself to coin silver on
the same terms on which gold is coin
ed F.; to maintain the parity of the sill
yer, gold, and paper money issued by
the United States, and to abolish the
existing premium on gold by the re-
peal OF the Bullion Storage act,
through which silver bullion is demone-
tiled and the coinage of silver discon-
tinued. The democratic theory of
bimetallism and of the free coinage of
the precious metals is clearly elucidat-
ed in the Chicago platform. This dec
laration of the free coinage principle,
without which the bimetallic standard
cannot be maintained, meets the de-
mands of bimetallists and at the same
time cuts away the ground from under
the feet of the advocates of the single
gold standard. The democratic party
will not only restore the equality of
silver with gold in coinage, but it will
maintain the silver, the gold, and the
paper dollar at par with each other.
1t has declared a policy that will be
satisfactory to all democrats, West and
East, and by this declaration of policy
it invites the support of all who are
opposed to the single gold standard, to
the unnatural premium on gold, and
to a forced contraction of the curren-
cVh

The Race Question.

There is a large public school in the
brotherly city of Philadelphia with the
pretty long name of civilian Walsh
Combined Grammar Secondary and
Primary School, and it has 1853 white
boys, 40S white girls and five negro
boys aged respectively about twelve
and fourteen years. Two of these five
boys soon developed into a pretty
rough set of youngsters, being very
pugnaciOus, not to say savage, in their
conduct towards the white children.
The teachers say they actually were a
sort of terror TO the we'll behaved
whites, and behaved themselves so bad
ly that their dismissal became crying
necessity. But before expulsion came
they were both choked by one of the
teachers and fully pounded by some of
the pupils. They have been expelled
and have been refused transference to
any other public school. The matter
has been appealed to the courts by the
parents of the lawless boys, but it is
thought that they will knock in vain,
and fierce war now RACES. Were any
such rumpus as that on the color line
to occur in a Southern school we should
never hear the last of it, and it would
all be charged to race prejudice and
wrong to the blacks. In this case we
publish the fact occurring in Philadel-
phia only to show what must be uni
versally conceded by all right minded
people, that mixed schools are impossi-
BILE at the North as well as at the South,
and that race prejudice prevails just as
much in the one section as in the other.
AT the North a few negroes now and
then and here and there, creep into
public school, but that is where the
whites SO greatly preponderate that the
negro pupil passes almost unnoticed.
In the South the case would be alto
gether different, for in most places the
number of white and colored pupils in
a school is nearly equally divided, with
the negro in some places preponderat-
ing There can never be mixed schools
on the color line in any portion of this
country; and wherever attempted can
only serve to breed confusion and re
suit in absolute DEMONSTRATING
NeaOS.

There are a good many important
questions to be settled by the American
people, among which may be mention
ed the tariff, the silver, the prohibition,
and many others, but more important
than all the others combined, is the
question whether or not the people of
the South, who have just commenced
to enjoy a degree of prosperity and
peace greater than any experienced
since the war, are to be subjected again
to negro rule by the operation of the
Force bill. "While it remains alive"
as the New York Sun remarks, sit
towers above all other issues actual or
even possible, as the highest Andes
tower above the sea beach below their
base, or the poison of the rattle-snake
surpasses in deadly menace the infec-
ton of the itch" It's enactment would
cripple the industries and retard the
progress of the South almost beyond
conception, and yet the Republican
party deliberately declares its inten-
ton, if possessed of the power, to pass
such bill. Can any true Virginian,
be he Democrat or Republican, hesitate
as to the tickle the should support I'M
der such circumstances ?-Alea. Sua.

CONDITION OF THE TREAsURY.-Th
condition of the national treasury as
four years Of republican administra-
ton are drawing to a close presents a
painful contrast with its condition four
years ago. Then the democrats had
administered the financial affairs of the
country for one presidential term. The
result of that honest and economical
administration was the payment of mil
lions of dollars of the national debt be-
fore it was due and the accumulation
of a surplus in the treasury of from
eighty to hundred millions of dollars
in addition to the sinking funds and
the hundred millions of gold held for
the redemption of greenbacks. A re-
duction of taxes was proposed, but the
people voted for high taxes and the
billion Congress came in. The result
of the work of the billion dollar Con-
gress has been to squander everything
except the gold reserve and about four
teen millions of gold in addition to it.
The sinking funds have been raided
and depleted to the extent of twenty
millions OF dollars. The obligations of
the government have not been met and
after July heavy claims will be press
ed for payment which the treasury will
be utterly unable to meet without mis-
appropriating funds. The taxpayers
are bled to the extent of from seven
hundred thousand to millions of dol
lars every day, but this is far from suf
ficient to supply the greed of the tax
eaters. Ship subsidies and sugar boun-
ties and the ever-eXpanding pension
list must be met. The taxpayer finds
no mercy.-Balt. sam.

The Mt. Vernon Building.

Mrs. Lucy P. Beale, lady assistant
board Of Worlds Fair commissioners
OF Virginia, has issued an address to
the women of Virginia in the interest
of the Mt. Vernon Building at the fair
After stating that the sum appropriat-
ed by Virginia is inadequate to the
proper representation of the State at
the exhibition and emphasizing the
advantages the occasion will afford for
the display Of woman's work. Mrs.
Beale says it is proposed to erect on
the exposition grounds at Chicago a
house for the entertainment and COM
fort of Virginia visitors and the dis
play of her collective exhibits which
be duplicate of the home of Wash
ington. To crest this scmblance of
Mt Vernon it will be necessary to
raise the sum of not less than $4,000,
and to do this Mrs. Beale urges that
county local committees be organized
for systematic work, ''to gather from
willing hearts and open though scanty
purses the amount necessary to enable
our own Virginia to take her wonted
place in this grand assenhlaye of
States

Negroes Lynching Negroes.

On last Wednesday night, in Wynn,
Cass county, Ark, the negroes lynched
a young negro who had outraged ne
gro girl.
On Thursday night there was similar
case at Haynes, Lee county, in the
same State, when three hundred ne
groes took negro named Donnelly
from his cell and lynched him, hang
ing him to the limb of tree. Tues
day Donnelly committed felonious
assault on colored girl 10 years of
age, living on the Campson plantation.
The mob was composed entirely of col
ored people.
That is crime for which both races
in all sections of the country will lynch
the perpetrator. What will the Re
publicans of the North have to say
about these and similar cases? Both
white and colored Republicans in the
North have had great deal to
ay in condemnation of the Southern
people for lynching negroes for out
raging white women. They are trying
to make political capital out of it in
the North, but they do the same thing
when such crimes are committed in
that part of the Union.
Some of the negroes in the South
have been making the same complaint
OF the whites for lynching negroes for
this crime, but they do the same thing
when the crime referred to is commit
ted on persons of their race, and it is
to their credit that they do so, and
their conduct is a vindication of the
whites, and shows the injustice of their
complaints. Instead of complaining
and condemning, they should approve
and endorse them, for their own con-
duct shows that they feel they did
right. But for political capital, no
such complaints would be made.
