He BIDS YOU BE OF HOPE.

| cannot refrain from sending a
word of cheer on the prospects Of
the Republican party. On all
leading measures relating to the
industrial and financial interests
of the people, we are strong and
growing stronger. On the con-
trary, our opponents are weak
and are growing weaker. They
are divided; we are united. If we
do not win it is our own fault.
We will be justly censurable if,
with such great measures involved,
every Republican does not feel
that he is appealed to personally
and that victory in the election
depends on him.-/ames g. Blame,

The Cobdenites who are assert
ing that no tin is to be found in
the United States ought to have
their attention directed to this
fact: There have been produced in
the United States at the Temescal,
Cal, mines alone, 62 ton of me-
tallic tin, more than was produced
in Australia the first year of min
ing. This one fact speaks more
eloquently than books full Of Free
Trade arguments.

There has never been any such
thing as "billion dollar Congress-"
Democratic falsehood is the only
ground on which that charge can
rest. But it can be demonstrated
with mathematical accuracy that
there is a hve-cent Democratic
House now in session-one that
while running at an expense of
over $1,000 a day puts in such
costly time debating propositions
to reduce the appropriation for
soap and saddle blankets for the
cadets at West Point.

The proposition to put binding
Irvine on the free list is too bare
faced a fraud for even such free
trade organ as the New York
Times. 1t points out that the
the Mckinley bill practically
cheapened binding Irvine as far as
it is possible to do SO by lowering
the tariff, and that if the light
duty now remaining should be
repealed it could not make any
difference in the retail price of the
article to the farmer.

Representative Watson of Geor-
gia grew quite pathetic in his
speech on the Indian appropriation
bill when he promised to deaf
fairly with the veterans who upheld
the Union flag and asked better
treatment for "the one-armed and
one-legged veterans who upheld
the honor of our flag" Mr.. Wat
son ought to know by this time
that there is only one flag in the
United States.

The Catholic Review claims
that the Roman Catholic popu-
lation Of the United States is at
least 100000. Of these,
100000 are good Catholics, "
and the remainder, persons who
believe the doctrines of the Catho-
lie Church but who neglect con-
fession and communion; the
Review calls them bad or
indifferent" Catholics.

HER SPRICHT MAN DEUTSCH!

The Mckinley tariff reduced the
duty on binding Irvine until it was
merely nominal and could not
possibly add anything to the retail
price. Springer's free binding
Irvine bill is just eighteen months
behind the times. That birds
nest belongs to last year and there
are no eggs in it.
Congressman Dickerson's bill
for reduction of the rate of pen
sions to certain classes of soldiers
is not the first measure of the kind
proposed in the present Demo
cratic House. Several other bills
for that purpose were introduced
ahead of Dickerson's, but his will
make the heaviest cut in pensions.
The sapient Springfield Re-
publican arises to remark: ut is
hard to hold the South solid that
is, to keep the Democratic ma
jority in all the Southern States
from disintegrating." Yes, indeed.
The collapse of the Louisiana
lottery shows that Democratic
solidity is on the wane.-lNea1den
Republican.
The bill now pending in the
Democratic House which provides
for cutting down pensions twenty
five per cent. does not apply to all
soldiers, but to certain classes. 1t
is intended merely as an entering
wedge. If unsuccessful in this,
cuts bigger than twenty-five per
cent. and applying to all classes
of soldiers will be in order.

ENGLISH ELECTORAL REFORM.

The adoption OF a new programme by the
Conservative conference in Edinburgh marks
another democratic advance in Great Britain.
In order to popularizc TOrysm the leaders have
practically adopted many Of the policies of the
Liberal Federation, and are proposing to apply
the principles if anything in a more radical
way than their rivals. They have taken up
registration reform equalization of votes and
a reduction of The period Of occupancy required
for the qualification of voters. These are
Liberal proposals. and the Conservative aSso-
Citations have adopt them in order to strength
Ell their party among the masses. At the same
time they have taken an advanced position in
favor Of popular control of party legislation
and Outflanked the Liberal caucus. These tao
tics have been repeatedly adopted by the Con-
sorvJtive party. Whether the Wings have
been dished" or the Tory Democracy has been
organized, the party of the classes has invar-
ably made its belated appeal to the masses
The conversion of the Conservatives to these
principles of electoral reform will facilitate the
legislative work Of the Gladstone Government
There are several radical measures which can
be enacted without serious opposition If intro
duced simultaneously with the Home Rule bill
and allowed fair appOrtIonment OF time. The
Irish members may succeed in diSplacing them
III order to force the passage Of their own meas
ure, but with the Conservative associations
virtually committed TO registration reform and
equalization Of votes, the Liberal Government
will be encouraged to pcrsevcle in It's Radical
proposals.
The Cabinet apparently has already arranged
the details Of several of these measures, so that
the Radical followers of Mr. Gladstone will be
fully conciated by the proposals in the Queens
Speech. The strange course Of the Irish land
owners in blocking the investigation of evic-
tons will also tend t. hasten legislation on that
question. Their hostility to the Commission
is displayed by their rancorous attacks upon
Judge Mathew in the face of vigorous warn
ings from him. They dislike the publicity of
the proceedings. and are anxious TO discredit
in advance the conclusions of the Commission
If private sessions are held and the scope of
the investigation is restricted, the final report
will be made to Parliament early in the session,
and bill introduced which will enable Mr.
Gladstone to reconcile the Irish members to
debatabe features of the HomeRule scheme.
Everything indicates session of great Iegis-

ing the deadliest weapons of destruction to a
horde of savages whose name is a synonyme
of cruelty, and who as all the world knows
have for years been improving every oppor-

has been advanced that some political enemy
of France gave these arms to Behanzin in
order TO make the conquest of Dahomey as
difficult as possible. This we do not credit
The arms were probably supplied by traders
for the sake of gain But between the two
motives there is little choice. Either is vile

Our readers will find on another page Of to-

keen interest which both the theme and the writer
command. 1t is due, however, to our readers
and to Mr. Smallcy to explain that these letters
were written promptly upon the death of the
Laureate, and were at once forwarded to u.s. but
by a deplorable mshap they were lost after reach
ing this Office and so had to be entirely rewritten.
Thus was caused the delay in their appearance
a delay which we greatly regret, but which will
not, we trust, seriously impair The value Of the

An interesting series of diplomatic reports has
Just been presented TO the British Parliament on
the subject of the control and organization of the
police in the various countries of the world
They explain In detail the various arrangements
by which the police force in each country is adj
mnstercd, commanded ard paid. On one point,
however, the reports absolutely agree In every
country the control of the police of the city
which constitutes the seat Of the Government is
vested in the State alone. This uniformity OF
practice deserves notice, the more by reason Of
the contrast which it forms TO the diversity Of
practice on all other points. 1t tells us that no
Government thinks it safe to allow the control Of
the police in its capital to be in any hands but
its own. Republics and monarchies are of one
mind in this Their scat of government must be

The war in Dahomey is ending as was ex-
pectcd at the beginning. The most desperate
resistance by the natives has not checked nor
materially delayed the advance of the little
French army. Every engagement has been an
utter rout Of Behanzn'S forces. Cana. the
burial place of the Dahoman kings and the
religious capital of the country. has been taken
and Colonel DoddS may at any moment enter
Abomcy itself. Tho overthrow of the savage
tyrant is complete, and has been effected with
only slight loss TO the conquerors.
All this is very gratifying, not to France
alone, but to the whole civilized world. And

fact that Colonel Dodds commanded no quarter

Grave apprehensons are being experienced both
at Vienna and at Buda-Pesth with regard to the
success Of the impending Austro-IIungaran gold
loan Of 81 on, 100000. The Imperial Government
declares that the sole object of the loan is the
resumption Of specie payments and the placing
Of the monetary system Of the dual monarchy
upon q sound basis. These statements, however
are regarded with a considerable amount Of
sccpticism at Paris and in London, where it il
firmly believed that the coming loan is really
intended 20 provide Austro- Hungary with such
an amount Of gold that if war were suddenly
70 break out she would be able 10 mobilize her
troops and to act quickly. Immense gold treas
held for this purpose by the Govern
meats Of France, Germany and Russia, the gold
war fund Of the latter amounting to $3.50, 900 900.
Hitherto Austro-IIungary has been without any
such reserve. and if she can now accumulate
eighty or a hundred million dollars in gold,
her position will be completely altered. Under
the circumstances, II Is probable that great diff
Guilty will be experienced in floating the loan
either in Paris in London. and that the Austro-
Hungarian Government will find itself restricted
to the already heavily hampered money markets
