The attitude of the present English
administration in reference to the In
ternational monetary conference, says
Bradstreets, was disclosed in some re-
marks made by Premier Gladstone and
his chancellor of the exchequer, Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, in the
house of commons this week. A mo-
tion was made declaring that the Brit
ish government should use its influence
to bring about the reassembling of the
international monetary conference, with
the object of finding remedy for the
evils attendant upon the divergence of
values between gold and silver. Mr..
Gladstone, in reply to some arguments
in support of the motion, said that the
international monetary conference met
at the initiative of the United States,
and that it will be an unprecedented
proceeding now to deprive America Of
the initiative. England. he said, had
followed the Brussels discussion with
more or less sympathy, and had "a right
to expect from the United States a
declaration as to what step that coun-
try proposed to take next. The chan
cellor of the excbequer said that if the
United States should reconvene the
conference and submit definite pro-
posals the British government would
be happy to send back their delegates,
but could not be expected to provide
a scheme for the more extensive use of
silver

The administration which is inaug-

The administration which is inaug-
urated to-day is that of the new DEM
ocracy, remodeled throughout the en-
tire fabric of the superstructure. 1t
has thrown aside the traditions of the
old party, and Democracy only exists
in name. The leopard has changed its
spots, and the party that went out of
power because it was corrupt, treason
able and autocratic has infused new
elements into its being. 1t Is now
patriotic, and with the Republican
ideas which it has engrafted into the
old fabric, it will be strong and pro-
gressive. As it was, 1t was stencil
in the nostrils of every American citi-
zen; but with Mr.. Cleveland OF the
helm, Mr.. Gresham at the head of
state affairs, and Palmer and others in
the halls of legislation, it will follow
the beaten track of Republican states
manship. The Democracy of Jeffer-
son and Calhoun is dead beyond the
power of resurrection; but the Repuh-
licaDism of Lincoln, Seward, Garfield
and Sherman is immortal and will
never die. 1t is the ever living monad
of political theosophism, and may be
lncarnated in different political or
CARNATIONS during the future history
of the republic.

The Indfaos Agree.

Moscow, Idaho, Mach "A special mes
senger from Lapwai this afternoon gives the
news of the majority of the Indians on the
Nez Perce reservation signing an agreement
to the opening of the reservation. Inasmuch
as two of the three members OF the commits
sion appointed by the government to confer
with the Indians left for the east few days
ago thoroughly discouraged over the prospect
OF ever having the Indians coming to terms,
the news OF the different outcome today has
occasioned great astonishment and excitement
in this city. Robert Glesher, chairman of the
commission, resident of Lewiston, is enti-
tied to all the praise for this final agreement.
After the other members of the commission
had left for home, he alone continued to work
and succeeded il converting the main chief
that had hung out. His signature secured,
it was but few days until the majority were
on the roll. The commission has been sum-
moned to convene March I6 at Lapwai, when
final ratification Of the treaty on the part of
the Indians will take place. Everything will
then be completed, but the necessary appro-
priation by congress and proclamation by
the president.

Marion county Democrats have
passed series Of resolutions, ,denounc-
ing Governor Pennoyer because he re-
fused request for the use of the state
cannon on the Inauguration of Grover
Cleveland, and ask the Democratic and
Republican press of Oregon to publish
the same. The TINES -MoUNTAINEER,
as a Republican paper, did not fee
like rejoicing over the election or in
auguration of President Cleveland, and
was not in the least dissatisfied at the
action of the governor. For this
reason it does not feel under the least
obligation to publish the resolutions.

PARIS, March News OF a hurricane at
Tamatav, on the east coast of Madagascar,
February 2z, has been received today. The
wind came from the sea and first Struck the
vessel near the mouth of the bay. The Al

Have Reached n Decision.

WASHINGTON, March 7-Whtle 1t is
not certain what President Cleveland
will do in the matter of appointing
commission to visit Hawaii before acting
on the annexation question, a decision
has been reached. and that is that the
commissioner and 1.-THE representative
of the dethroned queen and OF the heir
apparent shall al be heard before action
of any kind Is taken. Sec'y Gresham
said yesterday that the matter would be
given the serious consideration Its impor
taace demanded, but declined TO even 10
innate what tie course OF procedure
would likely he. One of the first ques
tons to be considered by the cabinet is
as TO the course to be pursued in regard
to the American flag COW flying over
Hawaii. If the action of the past ad-
mipistration is not to be upheld, then
this flag would have to come down and
Instructions to that effect sert TO Mr..
Stevens. This is one of the points which,
it is understood, will be decided at the
first cabinet meeting.

Gold Rese We TO BE Maintained.

WASHINGTON. March 9.-Secretary
Carlisle this morning authorized the
statement that he would exercise all the
power and discretion invested iu him to
uphold the credit of the government and
maintain the parity of gold and silver
This statement was made to brush away
rumors about what he contemplated
dong as to maintaining the gold reserve
intact, as to issuing bonds or as to pay
ing United States notes or United States
treasury noses in silver when free gold
Is exhausted, etc. The example of the
Denver banks in offering the treasury
81 900 600 in gold has been followed by
the Chicago bankers, who today offered
$500,000. 1t is believed that bankers of
other cities will do likewise. There is
feeling of relief as to gold balances. un
less the exports Saturday are unusually
heavy, of which no information is vet
received. The treasury will have ample
to supply the demand.

movals to be made, and makes them
only for good reason; if. when differ.
ent candidates are presented for an
Office, he carefully selects, and peremp-
torily instructs those welding power
under him carefully to select, the one
best fitted for the place by character
and ability; if, especially for the more
conspicuous and influential positions,
he chooses men enjoying in the highest
degree the esteem and confidence of
the community, not merely as poll
ticians, but as citizens; if he thus keeps
the public interest in view as the first
thing to be considered, and makes the
public service in the truest meaning of
the word the service of the people
he will remain true TO the best of his
principles, and at the same time strike
the most effective blow for good party
politics"
This is very plausible, but the ques-
ton becomes pertinent, Can such
methods be followed and party be
successful? Politicians possess the
same elements of selfshness as men do
In other vocations. They work in ex-
pectation of receiving personal benefit,
the same as the lawyer or the me-
chanic The public good is subservi-
ent to their own ends. If all political
organizations could cut loose from
bossism, and no effort be made to III
fuence individuals in their votes, free
institutions would be nearly perfect.
But party organizations nominate can
didates to elect them, and this cannot
be successfully carried out without
discipline and managers, and these
cannot be inaugurated without intelli,
gent leaders. Success is the result Of
good management, and this presup-
poses skillful bosses. In other words,
the machine in politics is usually sue
cessful, and without it parties court
defeat.

Their Cake is All Dough.

New YORK, March IA morning paper
says: "The intimaticn that Cleveland may
appoint commission to visit Hawaii before
acting ON the annexation question has caused
chill to run up tie backs of the Hawaiian
commissioners. They hoped for something
better. If the annexation scheme failed to
receive the approval of the new administra-
ton, they hoped at least to be able to return
to the provisional government and say that
the United States would be willing 10 ne
gotiate for the assumption of protectorate
over the islands. The appointment of a COM
mission, they realize, would not only occa-
sion delay in the settlement of the import
ant question, but would deprive them of any
honors or profits connected with the nego;ia-
tions. They therefore are 10th to believe the
rumor current that the new administration is
talking of appointing commission to visit
the islands, with authority to treat with the
provisional government upon plan giving
American supremacy over the Islands without
mourning all the responsibilities accompany
ing annexation

1t is a query with the Democratic

1t is a query with the Democratic
press Of Oregon whether Governor
Pennoyer is insane, because he refused
the use of the state property in cele-
brating partisan victory, and dared
to call His Majesty, Grover Cleveland,
the "Wall-street plutocrat." A few
years ago, when the president of 65,-
10000 people visited Oregon, and he
refused to show him the ordinary
courtesy of a subordinate to superior
official of meeting and welcoming him
to the commonwealth, these same
bowling Bourbon papers excused. and
even applanded Pennoyer's act Some
even went so far as to state that the
executive of the nation was not enti-
tied to any more respect than gov
ernor of state, and if President Har-
rison desired to meet Governor Pen
noyer he should call upon him at Sa-
lem, at the state capitol, the same that
the governor would do if he visited
Washington City during Harrison's
administration. 1t was all right in
their way of thinking for the president
of the United States to be snubbed in
a boorish way; but it was all wrong
for the governor to refuse the use of
cannon, belonging to the entire state,
IN Democratic victory. Still further
back, when the 'left wing of Prices
army" held control of the politics of
the state, General Sherman visited
Oregon and was In Salem, and DEM
ocratic member Of the legislature
be!ched forth his oratory against show
ing any respect to union general.
These actions are remembered by very
msny now living, and judgment has
been passed upon Democracy because

SOUTHERN "CHIVALRY."

A correspondent signing himself "L.
D." criticises our "allusions to the
southerners" and Z" boosted chivalry' of
the south" in Saturdays issue Of the
TIMES AoUNTA1NEER, and Implies that
if we had enjoyed the generous hospi-
tality and became acquainted with the
genuine culture" of these "disciples
of Sir Walter Scott" we should enter
tain different opinion on these mat
ters. There is no denying the fact
that in ante-bellum days princely hos
pitality was dispensed by the wealthy
planters to those who agreed with
them on the status of the negro; but a
difference in opinion on this question
changed hospitality into hostility. We
must disagree with our correspondent
regarding the assertion that these cav
alters were disciples of Sir Walter
Scott. They settled in Virginia a
century before the great novelist saw
the light of day, and their customs and
manners were simply refexive from
their Norman ancestors. Lineally
descended from the same race as
Stronghow and his followers, who
sowed the seeds of discord in Ireland,
they transplanted their aristocratic
notions and rule of caste in the new
world. The Purltans of New Eng
land came here for liberty, and, al
though somewhat illiberal in their re-
ligious belief, were the real germ Of
republican institutions in this country.
Since slavery has been abolished, there
has been little sectional jealousy, and
we hope it will decrease until the
name "American" will be the only
pride of all citizens. But this cannot
be while any distinction is made be-
tween the descendant of the Norman
in the south and that Of the Saxon in
the north. There must be equality of
rights in every regard, and race or
class must create no distinction. We
speak of the Aryan races, and not of
the Morgolian or African. While
these should be protected in equal po-
litical rights, social rules will preclude
any close commingling with them, and
which will never be modified.

Question of an Ex ra session.

WASHINGTON, March s-During the
few days the presidentsbas had an op
poriunity to consult with bis cabinet ad-
visefs, the question of calling an extra
session of congress has formed the sub
ject of much deliberation in view of the
threatening condition OF the public 6nan-
ces. The result was the conclusion that
it would not be wise TO call the new con-
gress together Immediately. The presi-
dent and the entire cabinet agree that the
power exists to issue bonds for the pur-
pose of strengthening the treasury gold
reserve, and 1t may De conf ieDtly as
sumed that this meeting has arranged for
the requirements of the situation when
ever necessary.

THE MACHINE.

Ever since Rarper's Weekly threw
its influence with the Democracy 1t
mas opposed Tammany rule in New
York, and especially was this true be-
fore the election of Mr. Cleveland
IN 1884. The success of the ticket
that year was largely owing to the dis
eontented mugwump Republicans
throwing their votes in favor of the
Democratic candidate; but last year
New York was carried by the strenu-
GUS efforts of the ring Success was
secured, and that is greater satisfaction
to the party than ascertaining the
means employed. But Harpers Is
fearful that Cleveland will not entirely
divorce himself from the machine, and
In its issue of March 4th says:
'sThe question is frequently asked
what position President Cleveland will
take with regard to the antagonisms
within his party in this state There
can be no doubt as to where his SYM
pathles will be. He knows as well as
anybody that the fight against the
Democratic machine is no mere fight
against this or that individual. He
knows that the true question is one of
vital principle-whether the party is
to be despotically ruled by selfish
and irresponsible boss or oligarchy, or
by the deliberate opinion and will
of majority of its members.
This is not only statement of the
politics in New York. but In every
state of the union, and there is not q
city of 10000 or more inhabitants

the $100,000,000 reserve fund can be
used to meet any demands made upon

direct conflict to the opinion so often ex-
pressed by former secretaries of the

basis of the action is decision of SolIc-
itor General Aldricb, who declares that
there is nothing in existing laws to pre-
vent the use of the gold reserve. Ex-
Attorney General Miller is understood
to have concurred in this opinion.
