There are only few silver pro-
ducers and it is rank suicide to put
all the vast agricultural and
manufacturing interests of this re-
public in pawn to redeem the
pledges of silver. The silverites
must accept the market price of
their product and consent to es-
tablish a just ratio between the
white and the yellow metals, or
they will be forced to the wall and
the white metal crowded out as
one of the standards of value.

1t is too near the close of the
Nineteenth century and these
United States are already too
deeply involved in the commerce
and manufactures of the world for
any safe return to policy that is
only adapted for an agricultural
nation. The building up of home
industry is the first want and the
chief factor in the return of a
greater prosperity than this coun-
try has known for years.

Congressional Proceedings and Ma
tional and State Capital Notes.
Senate adjourned without trans
acting any business, yesterday,
and there was no session of the
House.
The various caucuses that have
been held thus far have resulted in
nothing definite as to the course to
be pursued by the silver men in
presenting matters to Congress.
The discussion in the caucus of
the free silverites developed the
fact that a ratio of 20 to | would be
acceptable to the silver men,
though some of them would stick
for the present rate.
James Nandenbrook, of Texas, is
a candidate for the Brussels con-
sulate, and is well backed up by
Senator Coke. He is now in the
city under the safe conduct of
Gresham, has been favorably re-
ceived and thinks that his chances
are good.
Speaker Crisp is very busy con-
sidering the make up of his COM
mittees, but it will be near the
close of the month before the work
is fully done. 1t is not thought
that there will be any change in
the committe on rules, and the an
nouncement of the members of
this one and those on enrolled
bills, mileage and accounts is ex-
pected this week.
Hoke Smith is informed that the

Congressman Grain favors BIZ
metalism, the ratio between the
two metals to be fixed by their in
trinsic values. The adjustment of
the ratio can be readily made from
time to time when the disparity
between the two metals becomes
too great as at present, so says
Grain, and he is opposed to any
farther purchases OF silver.
The. entire disappearance of the
estate of Miss Fannin, daughter of
the distinguished Texan patriot, is
causing some comment bin Austin
and may lead to an investigation
When she entered the asylum in
1862 her estate embraced over g.
600 acres of land, the only pay
ments that hBve been made
amount to 81 POO and yet she died
without enough money to bury
her. A prominent Galvestonian
was trustee of her estate.

LEGISLATIVE PRIMARY.

The results OF the gubernatorial pri-
mary were so satisfactory in settling
decisiveiy and beyond dispute the claims
of rival candidates, that in a matter OF
even greater local Importance. we trust
there will be no hesitation on the part of
our City Committee in ordering a pri-
mary election for candidates to the Leg
islature.
With us in Richmond a nomination is
equivalent to an election-there should
therefore be adopted all the methods as
nearly as possible of an election to secure
the nomination.
1t has been rumored for months that
slate has been made up by the managers
and workers" of the Democratic party
and that no one can hope TO be elected at
the ward meeting to go as a delegate
TO a nominating convention who is not
''in the swim and whose vote before
hand is not well understood
Moreover, It has been suggested that the
organization extended farther and that
the intended nominees were themselves In
turn pre-empted-so 10 speak-for the va
rious candidates for the United States Sc
nate, the Court OF Appeals. Circuit Court.
etc, etc.
Well this may or may not be so. but
II Is not at all impossible that It is so.
and such a possibility ought TO be cut up
by the roots.
II such a machine Is once set fairly In
motion here II will grind the life out the
vote Of the average citizen. The man who
does not wish TO hustle and elbow at q
ward or precinct meeting. and who will
not pay tribute OF one kind or another to
the machine, had as well emigrate as far
as his voice and usefulness as a Demo-
crat Is concerned.
We Insist that In electing our represen-
tatives to the most important Legislature
that has sat In twelve years, the peo-
pie that Is the people who constitute the
body of our Democratic party should
have the opportunity to deposit their
ballots for the men OF their choice.
That is a modest request, and II should
be conceded without controversy.

WATERMELON Parties.
They Give to "A New Question of Etiquette
In Maryland.

One CT the things in society is the
watermelon party. The new diversion
was INDUCED IN IN Howard county, just
above Ellicott City, The other night. ard
from the latest accounts II has broken out
and promises TO become epidemic down
In Anne Arundel, where the melons grow
OF all sizes, species, and flavors. Just
how watermelon should be serv I'd at a
watermelon party is knotty question:
and 1t has caused considerable debate and
some little unfriendly controversy among
the Four Hundred of the on-growing
counties. Some contend that ii should be
cut crosswise, others say IL should be
split longitudinaliy and eaten without
fork or knife. This diversity of opinion
may relegate the melon party to the rear
Of the picnic for the present season, as
the time Of the fruit is limited now TO a
few weeks, but the latent element In
favor OF the pastime may break out
again next season. just as the ague
does every year down In Piney Woods
Another difficulty in the way of eating
n watermelon artisticaly is to get clear
OF the seeds. 1t is said that on one
occasion guest at one OF the parties
insisted that II was proper TO pick the
seeds out with the right index finger. and
II by accident one should get into a
guests mouth II should be swallowed. A
debate followed. the proposition, In which
one man said he did not propose to make
watermelon patch Of his internal make
up by planting seeds ihto IT. The party
broke up, and the hostess had a lot OF
OF melons and an antipathy to such par
ties left on her hands. The outcome
OF the new fad Is puzzling the people
In uppertendom In the cities and villages
and rural districts. From what could
be gathered in the last few days on the
subject. the watermelon party does not
promise TO be pronounced success
One OF the greatest objections IS the I'M
certainty to what they may lead, for
II the watermelon party takes with
society, II may in time be followed by a
squash party, pr a yellow pumpkin
party, or a sassafras root tea party, or
some other thing just as erratic. and
the Four Hundred, 1t seems, would
rather content themselves with the pink
tea and other diversions whereof they are
familiar than rush into new ones that
might lead to an endless amount OF un-
rest.-Baltimore Sun.

THE WHIsTLTNG GIRL.
Fascinating. Generous, Nobie-Hearted, So
Woman's Analysis Runs.

| A woman who has made a study Of the
Whistling girl says that, aside from her

she is usually dainty and fastidious bit
| OF femininity. who loses not one iota of
womanly charm when she Fuckers her

Rather. the roguish twinkle in her eye

server she is bright, jolly, original. Know
her better, and she is frank. honest, high
spirited, noble-hcarted superior TO the al
legged pettiness of her sex, and should
circumstances require. sufficiently gene
rous tomake wonderful sacrifices for
those she loves, for, being ardent and
impulsive, she loves warmly. She may
hate with corresponding enthusiasm, but
not for long. for, being tender OF heart
and believing always the best OF humani-

she for moment forgets that utility

antly enters the car, no one would sup
pose that those demure lips had uttered
that shrili and effective signal.
Altogether. although inclined TO be
wilful and rebellious at times (and who
