Northern Democrats Alarmed.

WASHINGTON, January S.-A morning
paper prints the following interesting
conversation, which is significant from
political standpoint. 1t took place on
the floor of the House yesterday between
a anumber of Democratic members, some
of them from New England, and others
from the South and West.
They were discussing free coinage and
Mr. Williams of Massachusetts, made
statement that caused some astonishment
to the Southern and Western men.
''There are IA democrats in this
House, said Mr.. Williams, from New
England, but there will not be one in
the next House if q free silver bill passes
this Congress, excepting possibly Mr..
O'Neil of Massachusetts. never heard
such revolutionary statements as were
expressed by Democrats and men of ma
tional prominence, while was at home
in Massachusetts during the past two
weeks. They will break with our party
and vote for the Republican candidate
as quick as thought, ii this House passes
a free silver bill. With such a bill, all
hope of keeping New, England in the
Democratic column will be lost"
A statement by Mr.. McKenney of New
Hampshire, caused even greater sur
prise. He told the Southerners that the
passage of free silver bill meant not
only the loss of every Democrat from
New England, but also the defeat of
MANY Democrats of the North, leaving
Congress strongly Republican and the
consequent passage of the force bill that
would put the South back 20 years.

PRUDENCE AND EXERCISE
DR.. Hyatt Says Will Prevent Further
Trouble for Mr.. Blaine.

WASHINGTON, January S.-Dr. Hyatt,
MI. Blaine's physician, did not call at
the house of his distinguished patient
today. The doctor said this afternoon
that he had not seen Mr.. Blaine since
last evening when he had fully recovered
from the attack of the day before. He
then considered the Secretary so well
that he stold him he would not call
again unless requested. The attack was
brought on by indiseretion in diet and
lack of exercise. With prudence in these
respects, it would not occur again. DR..
Hyatt, in conclusion, said he regarded
Mr. Blaine's general health as very
GOOD.

FpANCE.

The ministerial crisis and governmental
uphaeyal in France seems TO be one of
those periodic difficulties that are sure to
arise in a country M unstable and tickle
as France. The history of France for q
hundred years and more has been one of
revolutions. In 1889, was the revolution
by which Louis XVI lost his throne and
his head. Three years subsequent the
republic followed In another, that by the
Directory. Then came the Consulate, and
in 1904 the first Empire. . In 1914 the
Bourbon were restored, and depoeed
81 xteen years later. Then the House 81
Orlepns took up the reins OF government,
followed in 1888 by revolution and the
second Republic. In foJr years the sec
ond empire was declared and in 1871 the
Tbiers Republic was established A
period Of twenty one years has now pass
ed since Theirs was first declared Presi-
dent and peace and prosperity have crown
ed the efforts of the French commercial
world. They have shown Themselves to
be a remarkable people. They have over
come the fatal and disasterous consequep.

war indemnity, built up large and ever
Increasing trade with the ma ions Of the

II not only ~, price Of the country, the
envy of Europe, but the despair of her old
adversary across the Rhine. But the
the paths Of peace are not always congo
nial to the French. Something must oc.
cupy the public mind. II is a nation fond
OF brilliancy srd display. And now the
mine has grown r,stive under almost
century oi qui,tn,ss--the longest period
In hundred years that the French people
have been satisfied to remain quiet and
daily with one governmental system.
r. as the immortal Patrick Henry once
said, We ore to Judge the future by the
past, il Is time for another upheaval and
the outlook certainly at the present time
is more dubious than II has ever been for
the present system Of government. As
Paris Is France, whatever Paris does the
country will abide by. II Paris Is bound
on a revolution one will certainly come.
IL is only a question OF " hat We may eI-
pect next. We need not he astonished at

empire, is to be restored We may as well
take IL with as much unconcern as We
would our morning cup OF coffee. We
wish the French nation well, whatever

our own is the only tru, one under which
