A surrestion from Fnrone.

One Of the reports IN circulation in Wall
Street is that the English government
have become alarmed at the prospect Of
the repeal of the Sherman silver-purchase
act and are considering the advisabiity
Of proposing 10 this government that they
will reopen the minis of India TO free
coinage at the ratio Of "A TO / provided
the United States viii continue to pur-
chase silver. According 10 the report,
London bankers on behalf Of the Eng
lish government have been instructed to
find out how such proposition would be
received in this country, and that the
bankers in question have made inquiries
of bankers in New York.
There may be some foundation for this
report If there is it is quite safe TO say
that the answers the London bankers will
receive to their inquiries will not be in
the least encouraging, for two reasons.
The first is that there is a very general
consensus of opinion that the Sherman
silver-purchase law is a bad law, and has
worked almost iucalculable evil Even
the silverites are not favorable to the
continuance of it, They want free silver
coinage, if not at the present ratio, then
at some other. The United States now
have more silver than they know what TO
do with and are not likely to continue the
folly of purchasing and storing it,
The other reason is that the alleged
proposition of the English government is
not at all complimentary TO the United
States. 1t does not include England's
monet airy system, but only that of one of
her dependencies. II is not at all proba-
bic, therefore, that the United States
would even consent to consider a propo-
sition that placed them in monetary
matters on the same plane with India.
If England is really alarmed at the
prospect of the repeal of the Sherman sill
ver-purchase law, and it is to be hoped
she is, let her come forward in a frank
and manly way and propose that ratio
between gold and silver shall be fixed by
international agreement. She will gain
nothing certainly by attempting to use
the United States to tide over the trouble
she is having with India on account of the
silver currency of that country.
But if it is true that the English gov
ernment contemplates making a PROPOSE
ton to the United States, relative to a
new ratio, it is matter of considerable
significance, because it suggests the pos
sibility of a settlement of the silver ques-
tion by international agreement.

Too Much Talk.

viii the two weeks debate on the sill
yer question that has been agreed upon
have any influence in either the House or
Senator We very much doubt that it
will There is absolutely nothing new to
be said on the silver question. All of the
congressman have heard every phase of it
discussed time and time again 1t is not
likely that anything will be said that
may change the opinion of any one of
them
The two weeks debate has been agreed
upon for the purpose of giving them a
chance to make speeches that will reach
their constituents through the newspa-
pers or the Congressional Record As a
rule the attendance in the House and
Senate will be small while the debate is
going on. Some particularly brilliant
talker may have an audience, but the ma
jority of those who make speeches will
talk 10 empty seats.
The only way that opinions of congress
men can be changed is by expressions of
public sentiment in their respective states
and districts. If the people speak out
strongly during the next two weeks in
favor of the repeal of the Sherman silver
purchase act and a sound currency their
wishes will be respected. II they content
themselves with looking on and taking no
part in the contest there is no telling
what will be done.
All classes of people are profoundly in
terested in having confidence restored as
quickly as possible and it is TO be regret
ted that the Sherman silver-purchase act
could not have been repealed without a
long debate on the silver question, be-
cause the repeal of that law would take
the brakes OFF business, as it were The
people should exert themselves TO prevent
the financial situation from becoming
worse, and endcavor TO direct public SEN
timent so strongly in favor of a sound
currency that congress win not dare to
disregard It,

An amusing anecdobe is once more current
in Europe illustrating the readiness, caustici-
~, and cIevernesss Of retort of Leo XIII. says
the New York Recorder. 1t appears that
when the holy father was nuncio at Brussels,
previous to his becoming a cardinal he was
accOsted one evening after dinner at the royal
palace by certain marquis, who, with a view
to provoking a laugh at the expense of the
prelatc. handed him snuff box on the lid Of
which there was nude and indecent figure
of Venus. The nunciO took ii and carefully ex-
amined il without betrayinR the slightest en-
barrassment or appearing to notice the

friends. Thereupon he handed il back to the
marquis with a courtly bow and the suave
remark: 1T is charming, my dear marquis;

The President on the Platform.
From the Rome CGa.) Tribune Dem),

Some eXuberant democrats are inclined to
criticiSe the President rather severely he
cause he does not recommend the free coin
age OF silver. They forget the democratic
platform demanded the repeal of the Sher-
man act, but said not word about free coin
age. II did declare that gold and silver
should be coined in such way as to keep
them on parity with each other The Presi-
dent suggests international agreement which
is the only permanent plan to sustain bme-
tallism on parity. All democrats should
stand on the platform.

American dollar may get gold for II il he
wants it, the President be authorized to sell
gold bonds for gold to keep the treasury of
the United States solvent all the time. This

The story that President Cleveland
had lost $4,000 by the closing down of
a wood pulp mill in Wisconsin, referred to
in these columns yesterday, turns out to
have been piece Of groundless sensa-
tionalisn. 1t appeares that two or three
years ago Mr.. Cleveland owned stock in
the company to which the mill belonged,
but he long ago sold what ne owned and
has since had no connection with it. But
if he had been a stakeholder the shutting
down of the mill would not have meant a
loss, from the fact that the suspension of
operations was only carrying out the regu-
lar order of business of the concern. The
mill takes rest every summer for re-
pairs and alterations, and that is what it
is doing now. When these repairs have
been made it will go to work again
