SLAMS REPLY TO FRANCE.

The King of Siam has answered most i'm
pressivey the ultimatum Of France lie makes
no effort to tempOrize to argue the case, or
to meet menace with menace that cannot be
sustained. lie speaks promptly and frankly,
with the dignity becoming sovereign, and
with the pathOs of brave spirit yielding to
memorable necessity. He defines his position
with directness and evident sincerity that
must convince impartial judges of the right
eousness of his cause, and then, under pressure
and for the sake of peace, offers concessions
which surpass the bounds Of ordinary gen
crosby All this will, of course. avail him
nothing. 1t is already announced that France
regards the Kings reply As unsatisfactory, and
will at once proceed against him and exact
her uttermOst demands with force and arms.
Yet the verdict of the world must surely be
that such harsh rejoinder is made only because
logic and justice afford none consistent with
the aggressive claims of France.
His Majesty, we are told, regrets that no
precise definition has been given to him of what
he is to understand by the expression rights
of the Empire of Anam and of the Kingdom
of Cambogia on the left bank of the Mekong
River" The plant is full of pathetic IRONY.
How could precise definition be given of that
which has no existence? As well speak of the
rights of England on the Hudson, or of Spain
on the Plate River Indeed, the case of Siam
is even stronger than that. for the central basin
of the Mekong was not even won from Anam
by conquest. 1t never belonged to Anam, and
Anam has no more rights there than has any
other foreign Power. The Mekong region is
Laos. and Laos is the ancient home Of the
whole Siamesc race. from which the scrubby
little savages of Anam are entirely dhtinct.
The founders of the present Kingdom of Siam
were merely some of the more enlightened and
progressive Laotians, who migrated southwark
and westward They left their old capitals,
Luang Prabang, on the Mekong, and Zimme,
ON f:,e Menam, and built new one. Ayuthia
and after that Bangkok, on the lower Menam.

SITTER AND PRICES.

II was a wiser man than others thought who,
when asked three years ago. w hat would You
do about silver?" replied " would let it alone.
The question will settle itself in little while"
A. his only reason for that idea. he pointed to
the official report of production. showing that
the worlds output of silver had risen from
about 10000 900 ounces in 1885 to 125,-
400 900 in 1889. in spite of the fact that the
average price had dropped from 1896 pence
Nor ounce in 1855 to 42.G7 pence per ounce
in 1889. But something must he done to
arrest the fall it was exclaimed. He only
answered: "Try it, and you would only in
crease the production more and make silver
fall faster"
Congress did try. nevertheless. Nearly every
Democrat was willing to vote for free coin
noe or any other thing in order to divide the
ponublicans They and silver Senator's made
such an uprOar for free coinage that they
threatened 70 arrest other measures, even the
mast necessary. So a compromise was devised
vh;ch the silver Senators accepted. and the
government was tried whether buying all the
silver the country produced would make the
metol more valuable. II it would not. OBJ
,.ously free coinage could only mean debase-
nont of the currency. The silver Senators
were sure that it would. and agreed to the test.
Tbcn the production rose from l25 900 900
ounces In 1850 10 l52.000.O00 in 1892. and

Then they returned and subjected all the old
kingdom of Laos to their sway. For centuries
there has been no serious question OF these
facts : until to-day.
And now. that specially invented rights Of
Anam are claimed what does the hing OF Siam
offer. for the sake of peace? lie oilers To yield
TO Anam and Camboga-that Is, TO France
the entire Mekong Valley as far north as the
eighteenth parallel: that is clear up to the
Siamese Shan States The present boundary
is Just above the thirteenth parallel. lie there
fore is ready 10 Yield rich and populous
region extending north and south through
nearly five degrees of latitude or more than
800 miles and from east to west almost an
equal distance. But this will not satisfy the
French, who insist on getting the Whole Me-
kong basin up to the twenty fourth parallel
the Chinese frOntier-and westward about 400
miles from the present boundary. That is to
say, they propose TO conhscate all OF Laos, all
of the Siamese Shan States, and all OF the
Independent" Shan States, leaving to Siam
only the delta of the Menam and fragment
of the Malay Peninsula
The other questions at issue are OF less i'm
portance But it is to be observed That the
King apologies frankly for any offence that
his people may have given. and offers to de-
post 5000 900 as an indemnity fund, subject
to the order of France. Such communication
NAV fttingy be closed. as this Is. with re-
affirmation of sincere desire for the mane-
nance of good relations and for complete
settlement of all pending questions. Indeed, its
every line calls for the sympathy and approval
Of the world But it calls. too, for the regret
of the world that il will avail nothing against
the intention of France to extend the borders
of her Eastern empire and secure for herself
the lions share of the Indo-Chlnese peninsula.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONTLNTiON

THE REPCBLIC1N STATE CONTLNTiON
Some of our party friends who have been
debating the question whether the Republican
State Convention should be held early or late
this year seem to be in danger because OF their
earnestncss Of becoming considerably wrought
up on the subject. Just why they should be
is not altogether clear. The weather Is too
hot for any display of feeling, and besides the
matter under discussion does not warrant it.
4 careful examination of the facts upon which
the controversy rests fails TO disclose the slight
est necessity for defamation or inycctive.
Those who advocate an early convention and
a long campaign are for the most part leaders
of the younger element of the party. Eager
for war, and ovcriiowing with aggreSSivcncSS.
they insist that the ticket should be placed in
the field early in September. either during the
first or second week. The representatives, Of
the opposite view think that it would be wiser
to wait until later, in order that every advan-
tage may be taken of the plumbers which the
Democratic Congress ana the Democratic lead
ers in this State are likely to make The third
or last week in September, in their judgment.
will be soon enough to place the Republican
ticket in the field. They point ont in support
of this position that good deal of important
campaign work, particularly the distribution
of literature can be carried on more effectively
before the canvass opens than after the nom
nations are made and say that this work
is now being performed by the energetic Re
publican clubs of the State, which held their
convention recently at Saratoga.
1t appears therefore, that after all. there
is only fortnight at most between the dates
suggested by the leading advocates Of either
view, and this we submit. is rather a slender
basis for any acrimonious di>putation, which
can be of no service to any one except the
enemy. The young men who urge an early
convention undoubtedly have excellent rea-
sons for believing that the Republicans should
take the initiative as usual in this falls con
test. but they arc too intelligent not 10 be
willing to concede something. and the veterans
have been too long in the harness not TO know
that successful politics is at best Il series of
compromises. We are perfectly sure that
when both sides get into conference there will
be no difficulty i'll agreeing upon u time and
place for the party gathering that will be
satisfactory to all. Meantime let whatever is
said on the subject be said without rancor or
abuse let the other side have complete mo-
nopoly Of internal di,scnsion this year and let
urid rhetorical display be confined to Colorado.
This paper holds that it is far more impor
tant that the convention be composed Of the
abest and most representative Republicans in
this Commonwealth than that it should be held
on the dates advocated by either side There
is an opportunity. such a> has not been afford
ed in years, to redeem this State from Demo
crate rule. Will our people embrace it? We
think so.

the price fell from 42.67 pence per ounce ia

OOO, 900, or about IS per cent and the price
had dropped from 1886 pence to 80 pence
1t was evident that the production could sun
be indefinitely increased, even at the lateso
price or a lower. 1t was also evident tna'
nothing but the fanatical notions of those WHO
clamored for free coinage had prevented the
price going lower: low enough to check inc
increase of production. That natural remed!
was the only one that could do any good. JUST
as the production of more cotton and more
wheat than the world could use brought fall
in prices, which was the only thing that could
check the OveIproductiOn.
This year the price of silver seemed water
logged for some months at about 3S pence III

eminent purchases here kept the metal about
7 cents higher than it was abroad. and so stlm-

Some years ago there were published eabo-

clined in close correspondence with the decline
in the price of silver These were regarded
by some as a demonstration that the dlsuse

Of 1886 every vestige of such correspondence
