1t was a quarter of a century ago last
Wednesday that that venerated prince
of the church, Cardinal Gibbons, was
raised to the dignity of a Catholic bishop.
His first bishopric was in North Carolina ;
thence he was transferred to the diocese
of Richmond. He was made archbishop
of Baltimore in 1878, and in 1887 received
the red hat from Rome. 1t was intended
by his various charges that fitting
celebration of his silver jubilee should be
made at Baltimore on Wednesday, at
which time it was proposed to present to
him purse of not less than $4,000. But
the cardinal has decided to accept no gift,
and for various good reasons the celebra-
tion of the jubilee has been postponed IN
Ill October.

Populists Want Carlisle rmpeached

The official state paper of Kansas, the
Topeka Advocate, is extremely anxious
that Mr.. Carlisle, the Secretary of the
Treasury, shall be impeached for having
failed to purchase 4,5OO,OO0 ounces of sill
yer during the month of July. The Sher-
man silver law authorizes the purchase
of that amount of silver per month. The
same paper thinks that President Cleve-
land should also be impeached, if upon in
vestigation it is found that he is response
BILE for Mr.. Carlisle's conduct.
The Topeka Advocate is a populist or
gan, and it is said that resolutions en-
bodying its article against Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Carlisle will be introduced at
populist mass meetings to beheld in every
county in the state.
There is not the least danger that any
action toward the impeachment of either
Mr.. Cleveland or Mr. Carlisle will be
taken The question whether or not Mr.
Carlisle can, without violating the Sher-
man law, refuse to purchase 4,5OO, 900
ounces of silver in any one month was
very carefully considered before he re-
fused to purchase in July last the
| full amount the law authorizes to be
purchased each month, and the conclu-
sion was reached that he is at liberty to
exercise his Judgment in thematter His
duty is TO protect the interests of the
government. If he has reason to believe
that a combination has been formed to
compel the government to pay more than
the market price for silver he can refuse
10 make purchases until he is satisfied
| that the price at which silver is offered is
! the market price.
| The fact that there is a wild desire out
in Kansas to have the secretary impeach-
ed, while his conduct appears to meet with
the approval of the assembled statesmen
in Washington would seem to indicate
that either the Kansas populists do not
know what they are talking about and
are therefore making themselves ridicu-
! lous or else they are looking around for
somebody to attack, being Indifferent as

Tho talk now is not ~ free coinage Of
silver az the existing ratio of De- % J.
I but of n new ratio. That fact shows that
the sentiment in favor of the free coin
age Of silver is not as strong as 10 was
when n free silver coinage bill passed
the Senate three years ago.
And why is there talk Of new ratio
I among the silverites3 Simply because they
know that the free coinage Of silver dol
lars worth less than 80 cents each would
not be tolerated by the people. Very few
| of the silverites are willing TO urge the
coinage of such dollars.
The great majority of those who sign
petitions asking for the free coinage Of
silver do so with the understanding that
a silver dollar win circulate on a parity
with gold dollar. Not one in ten Of
them would consent to the free coinage of
silver if they thought silver currency
would be coined that would circulate at
less than its face value. Every man,
whatever may DE his business occupation
or station in life, is interested in having
a sound currency.
The willingness Of the silverites to sur
render the present ratio and adopt a new
one is an admission that it is absolutely
necessary to recognize the fact that the
value Of silver is controlled by the laws
of commercially the supply and demand.
In 1878, at the ratio of Is to l, a silver
dollar was worth more than a gold dol
lar. Now, at the same ratio, silver dol
lar is worth less than 60 cents. The rea-
son of this is that in recent years, owing
to the finding of vast bodies of silver ore
and the new and cheaper methods of ex-
tracing silver from the ore, the supply
of silver has exceeded the demand.
What the silver producers are trying to
do is to make the people take their silver
at more than its real value. They are de-
handing the same kind of protection
which the Republican party has been Civ
ing certain favored industries, and which
the democratic party condemns, and
strange as it may appear there are dem
ocrats in congress who are insisting that
the silver producers shall have this pro-
lection. If the cotton producers should
ask the kind of protection the silver pro-
ducers are asking would these democrats
vote to grant it to them} 1t is safe to
say they would not
The only basis upon which democrats
can consistently favor the free coinage of
silver is pointed out by the national dem
ocratic platform, namely, the making of
a silver dollar as valuable ,intrinsically
as gold dollar. The great bulk of the
democrats win not object to the free coin
age Of silver dollars of that kind.

An Historical Parallel.

From the Minneapolis Tribune CRep),
The sllversmiths Of Ephesus opposed the

shrines and gods for Diana. Likewise the

and honest currency worth 100 cents on the
dollar because it prevents them from doing a
land-office business in the coming of IS cents
worth OF bullion into dollar.

The Alliance Convention.

The annual alliance convention this
year was a very harmonious one, and the
delegates, who represented fully three
fourths of the counties of the state, APP
pear to have been well satisfied with
what was done. The subject considered
related to agricultural matters and to the
improvement of the material condition of
the farmers.
AS far as learned, politics was not in
troduced. There seemed to be an under
standing that the alliance as an organi-
cation had gone out of politics, and that
its attention should be devoted wholly to
those objects for which it was originally
organized.
The MORNING News has always taken
the ground that the alliance could be
made useful to the farmers. There are
many things it can do that would be ex-
tremely helpful to them. These things
the MORNING News has pointed out many
times.
The men who dragged the alliance into
politics were more anxious to use it to
advance their political fortunes than they
were to see the farmers prosperous. The
end they had in view was an entirely self
ish one. So 1ong as they could
make it aid them in getting Office
they did not care whether the farmers
got any benefit from it or not
The organization is not as strong as it
was a couple of years ago. but if it con.
fines itself to the purposes of its organi-
cation it will regain its lost strength and
become a source of great help to the far
mers. But it must steer clear of politics
and politicians if it wishes to live and

The Augusta Chronicle has issued an
advance sheet" of eight pages of its
AugustaExposition and State Fair edition
which gives facts and figures to show
that the Electric City, occupies very
gratifying position among the sisterhood
of southern cities. Statistics from the
latest census are quoted, to the effect that
as manufacturing town Augusta 5
progress has been second to none It
could be wished that Mr. Porter's census
was more reliable; the figures taken
therefrom would then be of greater value.
However, Augusta is not dependent upon
Mr.. Porter's census as means of show
ing to the world her Importance, pluck
and prosperity; she has great
newspaper advocate, the Chronicle, upon
which she may place dependence, with the
assurance that her interests will be well
looked after. To quote some figures from
the Chronicles advance sheet, Augusta
has now property valued for taxation at
SD, l12 ,942, a popula tion of $4,000, a
total debt of 81, 751 300, canal and water
works worth S2,00Q000 bringing in an
income of 500, 600; a surplus for school
funds and pavements of S424, 900, an annual
trade of SIS, 900 600, a street railway sys-
tenn of 80 miles operated with electricity.
and manufactures of all sorts and sizes.
Among the manufactures are foundries,
car works, railroad shops, ice, brick,
cigar shirt, pine fibre, tile, fertilizer,
sewerpipe and glassware factories, besides
-four and meal mills. With these plants
established, and town full of plucky
business men, there is no wonder that
Augusta grows. The exposition and fair
