NO OUTLET FOR THE SILVER MEN.
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The threatened bolt of the free silver
men has not materialiZed very strongly
IS yet. Mr.. Patterson, of the Rocky
Mountain Ne,os, is the only one who
has proceeded to overt acts in that behalf
by boiling the Democratic ranks. Other
Colorado Democrats will be slow to
follow his example when they reflect
that such bolt can do no one any good
except the Republicans whose position is
practically the same as that of the Dem
ocrats on this subject. The free silver
Republicans have an equally cogent dis
couragement against boiling their party
for the same reason. Possibly the silver
men might mark their disapproval by
having a stated number of Democrats
go over to the Republican party and the
same number of Republicans join the
Democracy. But they are deferred from
this formal protest by the fact that as
this would injure neither party neither
would care snap for it.
BY the action of the conventions the
free silver issue has been thoroughly re-
moved from the campaign. Both plat
forms permit the hope of the restoration
of silver by international agreement and
a readjusted ratio. The Republican
platform is little more liberal in this
respect than the Democratic; but both
candidates present an equal guarantee
that no free coinage bill will obtain the
Presidential signature for the next FIVE
and half years.
The peculiarity of the situation is the
utter futility of any rebellion on the
part of the free silver men in either
party. There is some talk of general
secession into the Peoples party, which
would indeed permit the dissatisfied
silver men to stand on platform suit
able to their ideas. But the utmost
that the Peoples party can possibly
effect is to get few electoral votes and
throw the election into the House, thus
insuring Cleveland's election. When
the dissatisfied Democrats perceive that
this method of furnishing their party
would make its success certain, and the
dissatisfied Republicans comprehend
that their revenge would simply elect
the opposition candidate, also an anti
silver man, they will see the necessary
conclusion that their only course is to
grin and bear it. This makes the tariff
the only great issue of the year, and the
friends of protection must rally all their
forces in defense of that policy.

PUBLIC OPINION.
SOME INSIDE HISTORY.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The inside history of the framing OF
the free trade plank in the Democratic
platform is being given to the puOhc'
The subcommittee which prepared the
document was composed of Jones, OF
Missouri; Thompson, of California;
Villas. of Wisconsin; Russell, of Massa-
chusetts: Daniel, of Virginia; Patterson,
of Colorado; Bayard, of Delaware;
Sewen, of Maine; Mcpherson, of New
Jersey; Garrard, of Georgia, and Atkins,
of Tennessee. The tariff plank as re-
ported by the majority of the committee
had the usual amount OF protection IN
it, so that it would have been an easy
matter for stumpers and editors to
preach either revenue tariff or incidental
protection, just as best suited the senti-
ment of the persons addressed.
Villas and Mcpherson were most So
licitous that the "straddle" should be
made, and Bayard assented. Jones, the
chairman, rampant free trader, had
submitted to the committee declaration
demanding such revision of the toriH as
would remove its iniquitous inequali-
ties and place it upon the constitutional
basis of tax levied for revenue only"
This was rejected by the majority of the
committee, and the "straddle" as orig
inally reported to the convention was
agreed upon. 1t Is worth noting that
Villas, only short time before, as chair
man of the committee on resolutions in
the Wisconsin Democratic State Con-
vention, reported platform 10 favor OF
a tariff for revenue only. AT Chitago,
as a member of the national platform
committee, he did his best to secure the
adoption of plank fayoring protection!
Other free traders did the same, belieg-
ing that by deceiving the people in this
matter they would help to secure the
election of Cleveland. Mr.. Stetson, a
law partner of the ex- Prefident, carried
messages between the subcommittee
and Mr.. Whitney, and it is understood
that the tariff plank as reported from
committee had the sanction of the great
free trader himself!
Mr.. Neal, of Ohio, had warned the
committee that he would oppose the
straddle on the floor of the convention,
and the country knows how successfully
he carried his threat into execution. He
and Watterson led the assault and pro-
lection was knocked out entirely, leaving
nothing but naked and unqualified free
trade. Mr.. Jones consoles himself with
the reflection that the amendment suits
him exactly because he "believes in
tariff for revenue only and believes in
saying So" Yet he was willing to sac
rifce his convictions to expediency or
double dealing for the sake of protec.
zionist votes, and reported to the con-
Hention a declaration he now saws the

About Watering Horses.

a horse can live twenty-five days with
out solid food, merely drinking water,
seventeen days without either eating or
drinking, and only FIVE days when eat
ing solid food without drinking.
An idea prevails among horsemen that
a horse should never be watered oftener
than three times day, or in twenty
four hours. This is not only mistaken
idea, but q brutal practice. A horses
stomach is extremely sensitive, and will
suffer under the least interference, caus-
ing feYerish condition.
Feeding horse principally on grain
and driving it five hours without water
is like giving man salt mackerel for
dinner and not allowing him to drink
until supper time-Eery unsatisfactory
for the man.

them, water them as often as they want
