THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.

II is now announced that the international
monetary conference will be held at Brus-
sells, commencing November %. Seventeen
powers, besides the United States, viii be
represented. There is no question before
European nations at present, possibly ex-
eepting one involving the peace OF Eurote,
of equal Importance 10 those this monetary
conference will discuss. What shall be done
with silver? Can the commercial world
establish legal ratio at which gold and sill
yer shall circulate on terms Of equality?
Shall one or two creditor nations be per-
mit.ed to dictate as to the kind of money in
which debts may be paid? The first point
is to determine II the weight of influence
in Europe is on the side Of silver. Is there
any general desire to remonetiZe that metal?
IL so, can the powers in elaboration agree
upon a ratio? Precisely what that ratio
shall be is Of much less importance than
that one shall be agreed upon nearly enough
TO the true ratio to he'd the money Oh Inc
u, O metals to the standard agreed upon. At
one period the true ratio, based upon the
relative cost of producing the two metals,
was fixed at 151b to /. 1t is contended that
in recent years the production oil sllVer is
relatively cheaper than the production OF
gold. The conference will ascertain, II pos
sible, if this contention is true, and. II so,
how much cheaper. 1t is better TO have the
ratio true and consequently permanent than
to have one more favorable to silver at the
risk of disturbances Of values. 1t is ex-
| pected that England and Germany Will op-
pose any action looking to the full remone-
tization of silver. They are creditor ma
tions and will stand by their bondholders.
The eheapening of commodities, in conSe-
quence of the decentralization Of silver, adds
| to the commercial value of fixed incomes.
| What the bondhoiding class want is dear
| money and cheap goods. Perhaps the
real question before the conference vii
| be if Europe will join the United
States in a stand against the English
and German policy. Ii they will {
| bimetalIic union may be formed whose
silver money will be good in every nation
| that becomes party to it. Such union
| would be IN commercial harmony with al
| North America except Canada, all Soutl
| America, all Central America and all o
Asia. 1t would seem that if there is an,
commercial Isolation to result from such q
| union England and Germany would be th'
| isolated parties. But the influence of th
! money lenders of the weird is not easil,
measured. A threat to withhold loans from
countries that depart from the gold stan
dard might stand in the way of an agree
ment that would surely conduce to the com
| mercial prosperity of countries that ar
1 parties to it.

is found in his reported Paris interview.
But Mr.. Stanford does say that he lndorseS
the money plank OF the Peoples party. In
other words, he indorses plan to issue nat
money to a certain class in the community
on land security. The proposition Is that
the Government shall issue irredeemaoie
paper money to landowners and charge
thereon two per cent year for the use OF
it. This conflicts with the Republican plat
form, which calls for dollars of whatever
kind of equal money value. No one VIII
snepose that q at-money dollar which Only
draws two per cent year interest Will cir
eulate on equality with gold or silver. OF
Government paper redeemaDle In goia or
silver Mr.. Stanford therefore proposes 10
create kind of money of unequal value 10
that now in existence. Holding these
views. his first act on returning to CallIcr-
MIA should be TO resign his seat In the Sem
ate. He is sound neither on the tariff nor
on finance If he should take his seat in
the Senate again it is impossible even to
conjecture how he would vote on any party

A GOOD sHOWISG.

Our local con temporary commenced the

70 the modern Democratic doctrine that
protective tariff is unconstitutional. One OF
these converts declares that he has been
lifelong Republican. but that he has been
convinced that the reelection OF Harrison
means starvation to the laboring classes
Another convert gives as a reason for leay-
Ing the grand old party the dismissal OF
chief of the Pension Department who was
disposed to 90 justice to old soldiers. Inas-
much as the increase of the pension list is
one Of the standing charges against the
Harrison administration made by Demo-
cratic Journals, this particular convert TO
Democracy has a cold future before him.
The third convert TO Democracy has got
worked up over the so-called force bill. He
become convinced that this bill, ii enacted
into law, would rob the people Of the
freedom of the ballot" unmindful Of the
fact that the so-called force bill was designed
to give freedom to the ballot-bOx. That such
freedom has not Leen enjoyed in the past in
s.i sections of We country is well known.

INJURIOUS DOCTRINE.

Our Democratic contemporaries cannot
see the advantages which a nation derives
by manufacturing as many OF its articles of
consumption as possible. instead of sending
long distances for them, and at con sderable
expense and trouble.
In California we have something more
10 consider. Can we afford to follow the
free-trade policy of our Democratic friends
and open our markets TO the products of
those countries where labor is not more
than a quarter what it is in the United
States? Half of our productions would be
largely affected by such policy, yet con-
siderable number of Caifornians do not
seem to understand what would be the re-
suit OF the Democratic doctrine if fully car
ried out

FEDERAL INTERFERENCE.

It is little odd that Federal interference
In local election should now be invoked
By Democratic politicians and resisted by
Republicans. The impression has been gen.
eral that Federal Supervisors would inter-
IRE in an election only in behalf Of their
own party. But the chief Federal Super
visor, Mr.. Nathaniel Holland, now has an
opportunity to show that the power lodged
with him will be exercised to maintain the
integrity Of the ballot-box. he has already
caused to be arrested several men who are
believed to be acting under instructions re-
ceived from the Republican bosses known
as Crmmins and Kelly The eight men
who were arrested on Saturday were
handed o7er to the local authorities for
saie-keeping. As soon as these parties could
establish communication with Crimmins
and Kelly Il became apparent that they
we're not without friends. Police Judge
John Lord Love bailed them out. 1t is safe
10 say that the next offender arrested by the
Federal Marshals will not be handed over
to Mr.. Love. Chief Supervisor Holland
will not lend himself to any such show OF
interference. The fact that Kelly and Grim
Minis claim to be Republicans and actually
control the Republican County Committee
viii not serve to secure them if violations
Of the registry law can be traced to them.
Usually the bosses have waited the open
ing Of the precinct registers to get in their
fne work. If they could manage to ap-
point the officers to be put in charge OF the
nrecinct register books they had compare
syiy even sailing. Some OF these suffers
night be prevented from voting, but few
could be rung in in almost every precinct.
This year the stand taken by the Registrar
that the officers of election should be Sc
lected from lists taken from the assessment
roll has threatened to make stuffing the
precinct registers dangerous business.
TIE Kelly Crimmins gang have conse-
oaently begun their work in the general
Office In view Of the fact that several de-
partments of the Superior Court are infiu
enced by the Third-street firm the people
will welcome the action of the Federal au-
thorities in arresting offenders against State
law. We want clean elections, even il ths
power to make them so comes from Wash
inpton.

John ". Foster ths New Secretary of
State.

President Harrison has selected as sue
cessor of Secretary Blaine that veteran pub
licist and distinguished lndianian, John w,
Foster, ek-United States minister to Spain.
The new secretary of State was born in Pike
county, Indiana, March ,, 1896. After his
graduation Mt the State university of Indi-
ana in 1870, he attended the law school at
Harvard university. He began practice Mt
Evansville, Indiana. In 1881 he was ap-
pointed major of the 25th Indiana infantry
volunteers. At the end of the war his rank
was that of brigadier general by brevet.
Upon his return TO Evansville he edited the
Daily journal of that city. He was chair
man of the republican State committee in
1872. His first appointment as minister
was to Mexico in 1873. lie was minister to
Russia in 1880. His appointment to Spain
by President Arthur was made at the in
stance of Secretary Frelinghuysen with the
view to improve our commercial and poll
tical relations with Spain.

Tho reorganization of the republican ma
tional committee has been widely COM
mended by the party leaders and the repub
lican press as one that will place the pres-
dontial campaign upon a higher plane than
that of previous presidential contests. This,
according to adviccs from Washington is
also the feeling o: the president. 1t is un-
derstood that lie is only too glad that he is
to have for the head of the executive com
mittee gentleman not familiar with quos-
tionabo campaign methods, and whose per
sonal standing in the West, as well as his
estimable character at the bar, give him
prominence in legal and CONNER cial circles.
Mr.. Harrison, according TO the Washing ton
correspondent OF the Boston Transcript, has
some ideas about the president taking an ac-
tive part in politics, contrary to the views
Of his friends. He does not say he will not
speak, but that he hardly expects 10 make a
campaign tour. Invitations to attend State
fairs will be accepted, and at such gather
ings he thinks he may very properly talk
upon the financial aud economic questions
of the day.
What the president wishes may be car
ried out in the most perfect manner in the
campaign is the education Of the masses on
every vital point on the republican plat
form. He expects cooperation from Camp
bell in this line which he could not have
hoped for from any of the leaders in the
campaign OF 1883. Letters from diatin-
gusbed republicans in the East and West
received by the president, and editorials
from leading newspapers Of both parties
sent to him by friends, justify him in hop
ing that the coming contest will be the most
creditable ever known in our political his
tory. Referring 10 this aspect of the cam
paign the president said that ho did not re-
member ever to have known n demand Sc
universal at the beginning Of a national con
test for the presentation Of leading issues in
the best form by the leaders in both par ties

TIE ENGLISH EIrctions.

Englonds "Grand old man has now en-
tered upon what will in all probability be
his last campaign. The dissolution of Par
Lament, which has just taken place is tho
signal for the opening of the English general
elections and the contest will be concluded
in about two weeas
The official expenses Of an English election
are as is well known, paid by the candi-
dates. These are light, however in Eng
land, 10 greater outlay than 5000 being
allowed for the total number of polling
booths erected at any principal polling
place. The expenses Of the canvass are
vigorously limited ana cannot exceed from
$4,000 to $1,000 Sworn expense accounts
have to he published. The judges try all
election cases and English elections, to the
il said, are free from bribery, direct or in
direct. Their solitary blemish is the la " less
license allowed to mobs at public meetings
and in the streets.
Any attempt to guess at the outcome of
the present contest would be fruitless. The
Odds are generally thought to be with Mr..
Gladstone and the liberals, but the latter's
chances have visibly lessenel during the
past three months. The entire contest hinges
on the issue OF homo rule for Ireland, and
as the bitter dissensiOns among the Irish
members have gone far to defeat their own
cause, the outcome is entirely problemat
zeal
