Mr.. Carlisle Criticised.

The free silver men are criticising Sec
rotary Carlisle rather severely. They
charge he is trying to force down the
price of silver. The basis of this charge
is that the government bought up 2, 1884 900
ounces of silver last month. The Sher-
man act requires him to purchase 4, SOC, 900
ounces each month.
There was an abundance of silver of
fered last month, but the secretary re-
fused to purchase the full amount author
lied by law because the price at which it
was offered was, in his opinion, too nigh
He is guided in his purchases by the price
in London, which is the great silver mar
ket of the world.
From business standpoint, the course
he is pursuing in respect to the purchases
of silver is the right one. Why should
he pay more than the market price, The
silver producers naturally want all they
can get for the product of their mines.
but they are expecting too much when
they ask the government to take their
silver at the price they put upon it,
Some of them hold the opinion that the
secretary is bound to buy $500 600 ounces
a month, even though he has to pay more
than what he considers the market price.
While it is true that the law requires
that 4, 100000 ounces shall be purchased
every month, it is quite evident that the
secretary may refuse to purchase that
amount if he believes he has a good
reason for his refusal. The reason that
he has given, namely, the price at
which silver was offered, appears to be a
good one.
The silver producers are very unreasOn-
able. They seem to think they are en-
titled to be favored above all
other producers of the country.
Why should the government pay
them ~ cents an ounce for their silver
when the market price is only 70 cents
In refusing TO buy above the market price
the secretary is doing his duty He must
protect the interests of the whole peop'e
and he would not be doing that if he
should use the peoples money to buy sill
yer at prices above those which prevail
in the markets of the world
The silver producers have so weak
case that they win not try, by legal
means, to compel him to buy their silver
at the price they may fix uTon it, He
made a very careful study of the law be
fore he decided not to buy the monthly
amount of silver last month. and he
knows the position he has taken cannot

The oNancv Hanks,, Train.

No reason is given for the decision
reached by Receiver Conner to substitute
a slower train for the Nancy Hanks"
train, but it is, probably, that the train
doesn't pay 1t is understood that the
passenger receipts for the first half of
this year were $40, 900 ahead of the pas
senger receipts of the first half of last
year, but the increased receipts may not
have been due wholly to the Nancy
Hanks train. There is no doubt that the
fame of that train drew passenger traffic
to the Central, but the cost of running
the train was great. and it may have been
found that the cost was greater than the
profit
1t looks now as if it were the policy of
the receiver to make fine showing of
earnings during the next six months. The
physical condition of the road is good and
if the cotton crop is an average one, and
the business depression is relieved by
congressional action or otherwise, this
policy is likely TO be a successful one.
With earnings something like there were
two or three years ago, the road could be

France is conducting the Siamese affair
in very peculiar manner; a manner, it
may be said, which looks very much like
Juggling for political effect at home. AL
though Siam has acquiesced in every de-
mand made by France, still Siam does not
know whether her capital is to be bonn
barded or not, although it is nearly a
week since the reply to the ultimatum
was delivered and accepted France, it
appears, has a string attached TO Admiral
Human in order that the other powers
may see that he is under control; at the
same time the string is left slack enough
for Human to terrorize the Siamese, to
the delight of the French populace, who
are to vote for government officials in the

If anybody entertains the idea that the
women of Kansas do not desire the right
to vote let him, or her, get rid of that
idea at once. For it is Incorrect. Last
week school elections were held through
out the state, and in every district the
women turned out almost to a voter and
went TO the ballot box. They Out-voted
the men wherever they felt like it, and
carried the election to. suit themselves.
Compared with the humber of votes cast
by women in the school election previous
TO the one of last week, the increase in
the number of women voters was nearly
= 100 per cent.-an illustration of the grow
ing popularity of woman suffrage In the
next state election, it will be borne in
mind, the men viii vote on the PROPOSE
tion to allow their wives, daughters,
mothers and sisters as many political
rights as they enjoy themselves.

Immediately upon conviction Such a
course would remove the alleged neces-

If only the form and appearance of law
are TO be secured by this proposed spe-
cial corrt, it would be better TO leave the
special court where il is-without exis-
tence. What is wanted is some remedy
wholly and entirely within the law. 1t
would be a trayesty upon justice to go

provided.

NEARLY AS MUCH MONEY AS EVER.

The treasury report of June 80 shows
that there was only 50, BAG, ,977 less money
in the country than at the correspond
ing period of 1892, the aggregate of
money in circulation being 81, 500. 726, All.
That is. the volume of currency in the
country is about One-half of per cent
less than 1t was year ago. Then there
was money enough to carry on q much
larger volume of business than is now
in progress, consequently the present
stringency is artificial. The money is
In the country, but the owners are
boarding and the lenders are refusing
to let business men have it for business
purposes. Quite number of the sus-
pensions of manufacturing establish
ments have been due to the refusal of
banks to lend money at reasonable rates
and upon security which is usually re-
garded as first t-cass. In the past. financial
troubles have been largely due to in
fiated credits, the suspension of specie
payments or the payment of any money
of value, and the depreciation of prices.
None of these conditions exists at the
present time. While a good deal of
money has been invested in worthless
stocks, the credits of the vast business
of the country were not inflated when
the present troubles began. The sus-
pension of specie payments is impossi-
BILE while the value of all kinds of mer-
chandise is so low that panic from fall
of prices is next to impossible The
fact that paralyzing stringency in the
money market has como at time when
the volume of money in the coun-
try was, with single exception, never
larger, proves the powerful influence
uncertainty can exert upon the people of
nation.

AND so Speaker Crisp is satisfied that
there must be some change in the rules
in order that the House may be brought
to vote upon important matters. Mr..
Crisp is right; Republicans in Congress
came to that conclusion several years

A LARGE ECcLEsIAsTIcAL TRANSACTION.

The statement of Mgr. Satolli that
negotiations are pending to bring the
Greek Church of Russia into the keep
ing of the Vatican is one of the most in
terestinR developments of recent times
Ii the change is brought about it will
be without parallel in the history of
the world as a wholesale transfer from
one form of religion to another, and
may involve important political con-
sequences.
The Greek Church is the established
church of Russia and has it's greatest
strength there, although it has quite a
considerable membership in Roumania.
Greece and Hungary. It's membership
in Russia is 66,000,000, which is many
millions more than the combined MEM
bership of all the Protestant church es in
the United States. 1t was originally
part of the Roman Catholic Church. and
though it has for long time been an
independent organization it has never
got very far away from the mother
church in respect of forms, ritu-
ais. etc. Nor does it differ very
materially in faith. 1t holds,
in common with the Roman Catholic
Church, the doctrines OF seven sacra-
ments, of the sacrifice of the mass, of
the veneration of the Virgin Mary, the
saints. images and relics, of the merl-
tOriousness of fasting and other works,
the heirarchical degrees of ecclesias-
tical orders. as monks. nuns, etc. In
fact, it's only material point of difference
from the Catholic Church is that it dis
owns the authority of the Pope. 1t also
denies the existence of purgatOry, yet
prays for the dead. No church is more
overgrown with forms, ceremonies and
superstitions.
The separation of the Greek Church
from Rome became complete in the
latter half of the ninth century.
Since then repeated efforts have been
made to bring about a reunion of the
churches, and once, in the fifteenth
century, the reunion was actually
consummated by the authorities Of the
two churches, but the laity and great
body of the inferior clergy of the Greek
Church repudiated it, and it
became a nullity. In 1S4S Pope
Plus TX issued an encyclical letter in
viting the entire Greek Church to cor
porate union with Rome, but the propo-
sitIon was rejected. as was his invita-.
ton, in 1869. to the Greek bishops to at
tend the Vatican council. Rome has
never ceased its efforts to bring about
reunion of the churches, and for some
time past there has been a growing feel
ing in favor of it in the Greek Church,
especially among the nobility and upper
classes of Russia. If the transfer is
made by the authorities of the two
churches it is probable that consider
able proportion os the laity. and per-
haps of the lower clergy. Will protest
and form an independent church, but
the transfer will still be numerous
enough to make it an important ac-
cession to the Catholic Church and add
materially to the political power and
prestige of the Pope, as we'll as to his
spiritual dominion.
