SILVER MEN IN COUNCIL.

The mistake the Colorado silver men
have made is in giving so much considera-
ton to the production of silver as an in
dustry. They thereby expose themselves

especial legislation for product in which
they are engaged The silver question
rests entirely upon the money function
which in the past silver has performed

1t now constitutes so nearly one-half of
the money in the world that that proper

consequences of silver decentralization.
That the market value of commodities
must bear close relation to the amount
Of money which serves as medium of ex-

fact that an initiation of the currency

of that proposition. The consequence in

THE SENATORSHIP.

It Is expected that within 4 few days
Governor Markham will appoint a Senator
for the unexpired term Of the late Senator
Stanford. 1t will be observed that our
Democratic contemporary is taking live
y interest in the appointment. 1t has in
effect mario wed down the list of aspirants
o two, both known as warm friends of the
Southern Pacific Company. The Examiner
shows unusual sagaeity in its selection of
aspirants for a Republican Governor to
choose between. The present indications
are that 1894 will be Republican year.
but these indications might be changed by
bad Senatorial appointment. The peo-
pie are not now in mood to stand another
Southern Pacific Senator. It is matter
of considerable Importance both to the
State and the company. The bill to con-
tinue the Southern Pacific Company in
possession of the Central Pacific on
promise to pay its debt to the Government
at the expiration Of a hundred years will
come UP for consider alton In the present
Congress. Votes in the affirmative will be
in demand. Senator White could not have
been elected last winter if he Lad not
made specific pledge against granting
the hundred years extension. Governor
Mark ham does not need to be reminded

A WINE EXPERT.

The French Government has done the
United States the honor of sending an ex-
pert across the Atlantic to examine our
wines, vineyards, wine-making establish
ments, and all that is otherwise connected
with vitculture. NJ. Larr0nde, the gentle
man chosen for this duty, comes from the
Bordeaux district, and the New York Sun
believes he will approach his task without
predictions and will report impartially.
This is just what IS wanted. 1t cannot be
that everything discovered will be eulo-
gized, but there is much that certainly
deserves praise. and it may confidently be
anticipated that the report will astonish
France and Europe as to the actualties
and possibilities of wine-making in this
country. We cannot hope to excel in the
finest qualities of wine when they are
compared with certain long-celebrated
vintages in Europe. but we can succeed
with high average qualities if we'll ma

The French Government has reason to
know that America is attaining a good
position in wine-making, and it also real
ICES that much of the celebrity Of France
is in jeopardy through the vicissitudes of
vine disease. prevalent adulteration, and
the concoction of absolutely spurious
liquids not entitled to the name of wine
1t is difficult to change the tastes of peo-
pie. II they believe in French wine they
are apt to cling to any vintage that has

conquer prejudice eventually, and good
California wine will be in general demand
throughout the East and in England. A.
present considerable quantity of superior
California wine is consumed under foreign
labels. and large quantity Of very bad
foreign wine is impudently given a Cali
fornian reputation. A French authority,
who is now in the United States, has pro-
nounced against the wines of Ohio as
rawly suggestive of the juice of the grape.
This, one would think, is coed fault,
easily cured by maturing and blending.
At least there is absence of adute ration.
Of California brands, he thinks we "have
not been very successful with Bordeaux"
but he adds that "the California white
wines and some of the warmer kinds of
red. such as Burgundy" are of good
quality. Let US hope that the French
Government will publish its experts re-

THE HENDERSON PLAN.

There are three points in the plan Of
finances recently submitted by ex-senator
Henderson which should not escape atten.
ton. First is the proposition TO issue gold
bonds to the amount of 100000. 900; sec
ond, to authorize national banks to issue
currency on other bonds than those of the
Federal Governments; third, the conversion
of one-half the Government stores of silver
into subsidiary coin and the sale OF the
other half 1t is impossible not to see in
these propositions purpose to devolve
upon the national banks the function of
providing currency for the people. The
basis is made broad enough. There are
the bonds now on deposit in the treasury.
the S300.000.000 it is proposed to Issue, and
the 81. Zoo. 100000 more or less OF State,
municipal and corporation bonds. which
may be declared proper security for an
issue of currency. The purpose is to re-
tire certificates. either of gold or silver.
legal tender and treasury notes, to the end
that we may have a uniform currency of
national bank notes. Under this plan the
national banks would draw interest on the
bonds in deposit and on the currency in cir
culation. One year with an other the banks
would have SSO0,0O0.000 of bonds on de-
posit yielding them per cent year.
and an equal amount of currency these
banks would be authorized to issue would
command an average Of 6 per cent
There would be S24000.000 interest on
bonds and S4S, 600. coo interest on currency.
This is the plan the administration is
pushing through Congress. 1t will COM
mand a very large support in the Eastern
States. The advantage of having but one
kind of currency win be urged, and it is
estimated that the burden of interest will
rest no heavier on the people than it
would if Government bonds were y lot made
the basis of currency. The only legal
tender coin in circulation would be gold,
and that would be wanted only to pay the
interest on bonds with. This is the ad-
ministration's plan. What proportion of
the voters who supported Mr.. Cleveland
last November can be dragooned into the
support of his financial measure will not
be known until the time to elect another
Congress comes round.

THE FUTURE OF COLORADO.

1t is sad to think of $1,000 miners and
5000 smelterS in Colorado being thrown
out of employment. and it is permissible
to cherish the hope that things may not be
quite as bad as that. At latest dates the
Colorado mines were still in full blast. and
the smelters which have shut down have
only done so to renovate their furnaces.
Bat if the fact were as stated it is only one
of the vicisstudes of industry which occur
at regular intervals. When the war of the
rebellion closed the Government sold its
accumulated supply of lead at cents a
pound. Fifteen years afterward lead sold
for less than cents, and the lead miners
declared they must go out of business; yet
lead mining went on as usual. In $780,
which was Colorado's palmv year, wheat
sold in New York at 81 40 a bushel.
Yesterday it was selling at ~ cents; yet
manipulating goes on, and the farmers
have not petitioned Congress to buy their
crops in order to encourage agriculture
In the dark days OF 1S42-45, when wave
of depression rolled over the country,
middling uplandS cotton sold at cents and
cents, and the planters sthen declared
that they would devote their plantations
TO the cultivation of corn. But they
changed their minds. The reaction came.
and in FIVE years cotton dou bled in value.
1t will be SO with silver. At II cents
an ounce it is too low in COMPARE
son with gold. The world is MOI;
producing anything like the quantity of
silver which would justify such a price,
and the present depression is calculated to
reduce rather than increase the supply.
BY and by an upward turn will come in the
white m etal. and it will come the sooner if
the miners of Colorado stop looking to
Congress for relief and rely on their own
wits TO cheaper the cost of production.
They must get over the idea that every
mine is necessarily a bonanza which should
make its owner millionaire, and settle
down to the sober conviction that mining,
like farming. is steady industry, which
will yield fair return to those who follow
it intelligently. and nothing more.
1t will be difficult for the Denver con-
vention to convince those who have been
to Colorado that that noble State is on the
eve of becoming "a refuge Of paupers."
If every pound of silver that lies in the
bowels of the earth in Colorado were SUBJ

AUSTRALIAN LIQUIDATION,

the large Concerns which had been organ
lied to develop the colonies with British
capital. 1t handled about $40. 100000. part
OF which was represented by stock and
part by debenture bonds. While the skies
were serene the colonists paid interest
regularly on the money they borrowed
from the company; the English stock
holders got their dividends and the cou-
pons on the debentures were met When
the crash came the Australians could pay
no more; the Englisfmen got no interest ;
they called for the payment of the deben-
lures which were due. and the company
was forced to suspend. 1t is the story of
all the large developing companies of the
Australian colonies. Liquidation will
come to an end some day and then it will

There is no positive necessity why this

is the gaining of new markets. By con-
ciliaiing these American countries under

US with products which are necessary and

NOT EXCLUDED.

An important announcement has been
made by Mr.. Gladstone on the Irish home
rule bill. The provision of clause which
excluded the Irish members from speaking
and voting at Westminster on English and
Scotch affairs. and confined their powers
to Irish and imperial affairs. has been
withdrawn. In truth it was an indefensi-
bic and impossible barrier, so long as the
Irish home-rule Parliament has 80 many
subjects expressly withdrawn from it's
consideration and the Westminster Par
lament has still so much power to inter-
fere. A precise separation of subjects
would have been impossible. and wrangles
On constitutional right would have been
frequent. Though diminished in number,
the Irish representatives have none of
their privileges curtailed in deliberations
on the affairs of the United Kingdom and
the empire
To local affairs Ireland has large slice
of autonomous control, and in the coming
years this control will be much more
ample. But the important point 10 note in
this change is the pivot afforded for fedora
ton of the empire on closer footing. A
proposal to give Scotland home rule was
