eral She declared that the throwing of
the b mbs ia the Lyceo theater at Bar
celona sprang from the blood OF Pallas,
the man who attempted to assassinate
G. neral Martinez Campos She added
thai increasing poverty and the severer
means OF repression that had been adopted
by the auth rites warranted more terrible
means Of defense.
With reference to the European inter-
national agreement for the suppression
of antrchisln aud anarchists, she said the
whul lie thi z WIS worthy ouly Of derision.
Tie same thing had been tried before.
Wholesale arrests helped the cause.
Explosions formed the best and most
element means for extending the propa-
ganda The number killed by explosions
WAS always less in proportion than the
good done. The French measures aga inst
anarchists she declared, were most re-
pressive, owing TO the goverfffffent lock
heads. Bombs hal not ben recently used
in the Unitei STATES, because that country

IN regard to the passage Of the silver act
of 1890. in which Sherman says;
II never for a moment have regretted
the passage of the act of 1890. commonly
called the Sherman act. though, as you
know. had no more to do with it than
the other conferress. There:is but one
provision in it that l would change, and
that Is TO strike out the compulsory
purchase of given quantity OF
silver and give authority to the Secre-
tsry Of the Treasury TO buy silver oui-
lion at its market price when needed ior
subsidiary coinage: aud other provision
should be made for fuu legsl-tender
United States notes supported bv reserves
of both gold and silver and backed by the
credit and wealth of the United States.
But these are grave subjects for consider

What we want now Is relief from iur-

val Of State bank paper money which can
not be made legal tender: and which on
the first sign of alarm will disappear or
