Then she screamed.
The conductor was the only man who could

No silver Legislation TITS Session.

No Silver Legislation THIS Session.
Both houses Of congress have refused to
consider any bill to repeal the silver pur-
chase act. There is not much, if any, prob
ability, therefore, Of any legislation by this
congress TO stop the purchase Of silver.
What will the next congress dos That is
a very important question. Both houses Of
the next congress will DO democratic. The
/ Democratic party was successful in the last
national campaign On platform that con-
tains promise to repeal the Sherman silver
purchase act. win the party keep that
/ promise, OF will 1t Tepudiste it!
/ The people knew what they wanted when
1 they voted the democratic ticket. They IN
/ derstood that the national democratic plat
/ form denounced the silver purchase acs and
called for its repeal In voting the demo-
cratic ticket, therefore, they said they
| wanted the purchases OF silver stopped.
How will those democratic congressman
who voted against the motion to take up
the bill TO repeal the silver purchase act
explain their votes TO their constituents
They will not be justified in saying they te-
lieved their constituents were opposed to
stopping the purchases Of silver, because
their constituents have expressed themselves
differently as emphatically as they could.
They will have to admit they refused to
| fulfill the promise Of their parry.
Mr.. Cleveland has set the democratic con-
gressGasn an example in this matter that
they should follow. Although not yet
President be has announced through those
who are authorized to speak for him thathe
proposes to use all his influence to have the
pledge Of the party relative to silver carried
out. He recognizes his obligation to obey
the will Of his party as expressed in its
national platform, and be would like demo-
cratic congressman to recognize it. 1t is
not probable that he will employ any
means st his command when he becomes
President to enforce obedience to the party's
platform, but he will do his utmost to show
democrats in congress what their duty is
" was understood that Mr. Cleveland
would not call an extra session
Of congress soon after his inauguration to
consider the tariff question. but be may do

will hardly be denied now that there
is danger Of the country going
to silver basis. The outflow
Of gold continues, and the amount of gold
in the treasury is growing steadily smaller.
The only explanation OF this condition Of
affairs is the fear that our currency cannot
be maintained upon gold basis. A failure
TO mainta it on that basis would be fol-
lowed by a financial situation that would
seriously interrupt the prosperity Of the
country

Cabinet Rumors.

The report that Mr. Cleveland has In
vited Judge Gresham to become his Secre-
tsry OF State and that the Invitation has
been accepted win be received with u good
deal Of surprise If it should be confirmed
Mr.. Cleveland would be criticised by some
of the members OF his own party pretty
much in the same manner as Presidents Har-
rison has been for nominating a democrat
for justice of the supreme court. 1t is true
that Judge Gresham cannot be regarded as
in full sympathy with the Republican
party. lie voted for Mr.. Cleveland and
said recently that he was democrat on the
tariff question, but on no other.
Democrats cannot raise any very strong
objections to Judge Gresham. He is fully
equal to the duties Of the Office Of Secretary
of State, and that he is q man of high char
acter there is no doubt.
Some days ago when Judge Gresham was
mentioned as q possible member of Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet, IL was said that not be-
ing man Of independent fortune he could
not afford TO give up a life position for one
that had a term Of only four years. II that
statement was true, and there is no reason
to doubt It, what arguments have been sd-
vanced by Mr.. Cleveland to make him think
that he can afford to give up life position
1t is not certain, Of course, that the re-
port that he has consented to take the state
department is true. There have been any
number Of cabinet rumors, few OF which
have had much foundation. Outside of Mr..
Carlisle, who is to be Secretary of the
Treasury, It is not positively known that
any other cabinet position has been rendered
TO any one and accepted. 1t is thought that
Col. Lamont and Mr.. Strauss have been invi-
ted to enter Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet and have
accepted, but if they have there has
been no authoritative announcement of
the fact. 1t is not at all improbable
that the rumors concerning them are not
entirely reliable. There is SO much eager
ness for news concerning the formation OF
Mr.. Clevelands cabinet that very little in
cideut IS deemed sufficient to justify the
publication of a report that Mr.. Cleveland
has invited this or that man to become a
member Of his board of advisers. 1t may
be that cabinet invitations have been sent
to a number of gentlemen who. for good
and sufficient reasons, have declined them,
but the number is doubtless not so great as
the newspapers have made it appear.
There is some talk to the effect that Mr..
Cleveland will not take the geography of
the country into account in forming his
cabinet, but will take several cabinet ad-
visers from one section of the country, or
even from one state, II he becomes satisfied
that he can get men much more satisfactory
to him by pursuing that course.
In very few days Mr.. Clevelands cabi-
net will, in all probability, be completed
and then the public will not be bothered by
cabinet rumors.

the Colonial Club. the other night, where this
distinguished prelate responded to the first
toast, The Colonial CLUB, he illustrated a
point with this very fetching story: Some years
ago buxom lady (Mrs. Ruggles by name),
travelling in Europe, improved her stay in Rome
by visiting the art galleries. In the vatican she
was made familiar with the great works Of the
master artists, and was finally taken by the
guide up to that very perfection of manly
beauty, the Apollo Revedere.

The sightseer had by this time worked her
way around to the statues front, and gIancing
from the feet to the thin thighs and thence to
the statues head, she looked at the guide with
a deep-seated expression of disgust, and as she
turned upon her heels, remarked:

The audience In the capitol during the
official announcement OF the electoral vote
for President and Vice President seemed to
regard the whole proceeding as a farce,
something TO laugh at, as all ohristendom
laughs at the English ceremony Of hunting
gunpowder on Guy Fawkes dayn in the
parliament building. There is, indeed, lots
of red tape about the electoral college that
might be dispensed with, but until the form
OF electing the highest officers 10 the land is
modified the official announcement Of the
vote should be regarded as matter of great
gravity. 1t is an important incident in the
life of the greatest nation on the globe, and
deserves to be observed with respect if not
with awe.

Few people, probably, are aware that
there still exists q considerable whaling in
dustry in this country, central at New Bed
ford. Long ago, before the great oil dis
coveries in Pennsylvania, whaling was one
of the chief industries of New England, and
hundreds Of stanch old whaling ships
sailed out of New Bedford and brought
back fortunes for their owners. All of that

ninetyefive American vessels engaged in

from As to 20 cents a gallon, according to
the market, SO it will be seen that whaling
is not extinct or proftless, by any means

Weaver Doing Missionary Work.
Gen. Weaver, the populist candidate for
President in the last national campaign,
still labors under the impression that he is
the great man Of the country. He is deliv-
ering lectures In New England, and ex-
presses himself as confident that the popu-
list party will be successful In the next
national campaign.
He still entertsius the belief that the Re-
publican party is practically dead, and that
the Democratic party soon will be. In New
York day or two ago. in answer to ques-
tions. he said the Republican party has no
future. 1t is dead, he declared. Like the
Wing party, 1t has gone out because there
is no further use for it. With reference to
the Democratic party be said at is now
certain that the Democratic party will fly
into thousand fragments in the presence
OF the overshadowing silver controversy"
Gen. Weaver has made great many pre-
dIctions within the last year or two. In
fact, he has done little else to bring himself
into notoriety during the last twenty years
than make predictions, which have been
shown by subsequent events to have had no
value. Still, he hnds few people who
listen to him, and continue to regard him as
a fountain Of wisdom.
IL it were not for the fact that he was a
presidential candidate ne would attract no
| attention whatever. No audiences would
gather TO listen tc bis lectures and no news
papers would take the trouble to report his
opinions, In a year or so, the notoriety he
gained as tho presidential candidate in the
populist party, will cease to assist him in
getting q hearing, and then he will
fade quietly into obscurity from which he
will never again emerge. He is not a great
man and is not fitted for great occasions. The
prominence he enjoys Is due to his readiness
60 join any political movement that PROM
Uses to have a transient popularity with the
dissatisfied elements Of society. In such
| movements he manages to get to the front
by not waiting to be invited 10 a seat on the
front bench. If there is populist party
four years hence-and it is doubtful il there
will be-he will be a back number Of 1t.
