A New FREQ Coinage.

It appears from what has eventuated
since Congress met, that the force OF the
movement In behalf Of silver was greatest
when free coinage bill passed the Senate
IA 1890. Senator VEST shows that the silver
party Is desperately determined not to
strike It's flag Internationally: but none
tho less tho terms demanded for silver
now differ greatly from those urged with
partial success three years ago.
No ono appears to insist upon free
coinage of silver as it was advocated up to
the last national election. We hear talk OF
now ratio. Free coinage into dollars Of
silver worth less than sixty cents to the
dollar. is too extreme a proposition to be
aggressively championed. The old ratio OF
10 to Is threatened even by It's friends with
being replaced by one Of 20 to /. That
will still fail to satisfy the other side. but
It represents material change In the sem
timent of the silver camp.
II the old ratio is to be surrendered for an
alteration however slight. then the coinage
question Is removed from the influence
of political tradition. and is left to be de-
termined by the laws and facts OF COM
merce. In this respect the situation has
frightened greatly. Hope must hover above
the head OF the most pessimistic financier.

upon the renewal OF his health vhilo at Cape
May Those who have seen him in this city
within the past few days were made aware OF
the happy change which has come over him
since he was freed from the cares Of the Presi-
dency. His spirit. which was detected during
his last half year In the White House. is VI
vacious; his step. once heavy. 10 lively; his
eyes shine: his long. white, pallid face Ia
tinged as by fire. In less than half year. or
since his discnthralment. he has come to look
like new man, or as though he were good for
yet many years OF life, and able to stand we'll
to the front OF the Republican party In 1895 or
even in 1000.
There is every prospect that he will be per-
fcctly able to Ill the chair In Stanford Univer-
sity which he accepted from the late Senator
STAMFORD Of California.
We congratulate Gen. HARRISON. who Is .
patriot OF patriotic ancestry. and who has
served his country both on the battlefield and
in the office OF President.

Enlighten Ohio!

The Hon. LAWRENCE TALBOT NEAL says
he will meet Governor WILLIAM MCKIN-
LEY in debate at any time and place. That
Is Just what we should expect from Mr..
NEAL. a straightforward and courageous
man. always ready to give reasons for the
faith that Is in him. Governor MCKINLEY
cannot refuse to debate with this frank
antagonist the great issue OF protection
against tariff for revenue only. The two
men should meet, not for one debate only.
but for many debates. a series Of debates.
II they can make arrangements to go
through the canvass together. they will
make that canvass even more interesting
than the Importance OF the question to
which they are to speak must make 1t.
Not since the war has subject OF wider
reach and range. constitutionally and COM
mcrcially. been brought before the people
than the tariff for revenue only. 1t involves
vast interests. 1t will compel vast changes.
The people decided last year that it should
BIO the policy Of the country. Ohio Just
failed to be swept along In the great cur
rent OF popular opinion. She came SO near
voting for the destruction of protection
and the construction OF constitutional
tariff that Mr.. NEAL must be anxious to
continue the work Of enlightening the Ohio
Republicans: and Governor MCKINLEY must
be as anxious to defend protection after
the all but deadly assault made upon it in
Ohio last year, an assault of which the Hon.
LAWRENCE TALBOT NEAL was the prime

The Iowa Republicans.

The Iowa Republican Convention met at
Des Molnes yesterday for the purpose Of
nominating candidates for the Governorship
and other State offices. The refusal of the
Hon. HORACE BoIEs to become the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor third time,
has raised the hopes OF the Republicans
and depressed all the Democrats not anx-
ious for his shoes. Governor BoIEs is the
most capable and popular Of the Democrats
OF Iowa. lie had the good fortune to be the
first Democratic Governor OF the State In
generation. The Republican dissatisfaction
with prohibition was the principal cause
of his election. although tho rejection
against a long period of unmitigated Re-
publican rule probably had some part in his
success. 1t was opposition to prohibition
that reelected him In 1891. although he had
the luck to BIO opposed by weak candidate.
Governor BoIEs has been an apostle
OF tariff reform of the ancient sort.
and much was expected from the sup
posed tlerceness Of the Iowa farmers
against protection. but the election of
1892 disappointed these high expectations
and showed that although Iowa had twice
elected Democratic Governor upon q
local issue. she was Republican upon
national Issues. She actually gave larger
Republican plurality In 1892 than In 1854.

medicine. but had never given him. or any
other patient nitro glycerlne: nor did he ever
give him a dose Of hyosciamus. or black medi-
cine. as it is termed He said as far as he now

said he is an ordinary bookkeeper When DR..

ever fancied himself to be Bismarck. He did
say that during Bismarck's Prime Minister
ship he allowed everybody to know what he
was going to do. He said he made the trouble
ut Matteawan Asylum to get what he is now
getting-a public hearing. He did not think
they would DO foolish enough In the Mattea-

that he has defeated all present expecta-
ton OF relief to the public. and that the

BILE and public-spirted gentlemen. who had

could not avail against his malignant dull

reflect with complacency upon the immense
sum Of money that he has wasted for tho
taxpayers OF New York. sum which. We
fear. is now hopelessly lost to them.

plate himself as that citizen Of New York,
