Boards of Trade Spenk.

! IhereSOlutOnS adopted by the boards of
trade of the country, in convention at the
national capital Tuesday and reported in
! our dispatches Wednesday, indicate that
the people are getting very tired of the
! opposition of the silver senator's to the re-
| peal of the Sherman silver law They
| spoke for the business interests of the
whole country.
| The silver senators have 40 excuse for
the course they arc pursuing They are
not willing that the viii of the great ma
| jority of the people shall prevail With
out facts or arguments to sustain the posi-
ton they have taken it is not to be won
dered at that the people are getting out
| of patience with them.
The courtesy of the Senate permits
them to talk as long as they have any
! thing to say. They have said all there is
to say, and they are now simply abusing
| their privilege, and therefore are not en-
| titled to any consideration. They have
| done all that is reasonable for those
they claim to represent, and decency now
/ requires that they cease their obstructive
| tactics and let vote be taken.
! 1t is gratifying that there are signs in
| the Senate Of WEAKNESS, and of a deter
mination 10 bring the debate to a close.
/ If the silverites insist upon talking let
/ them talk TO empty benches at night
! They viii soon get tired of night sessions.
The country wants the question of re-
! peal settled, and settled quickly. Bust
ness is waiting upon the Seuates action
! II repeal was assured there would be
] hr,rv, fl,.o4,..l,.,,,+
and the fall trade would be the largest
ever known. Delay means immense bust
ness losses. Prompt action apd repeal
mean return of prosperous times.
The idea that the democrats must
| temporize with the republicans until the
siIver,matter shall have been settled, and
that then partisan warfare may be de-
/ clared and prosecuted as vigorously as
| the democrats may please, is one Of the
| poorest that could be advanced. The
| lines upon which the two parties must
and will clash are well known; as well to
| the republicans as to the democrats.
! And it would be an insult TO the inteli-
| geuce of the republican leaders to adopt a
milk and water policy with regard to par
| tisan matters prior to the vote on the
silver bill, with a view to Coidiing the
republican senators into voting right.
| The monetary fight is not a party matter.
| The republicans are as much interested
! in sound money as the democrats Those
! of them who are on the right side of the
| question now would remain on that side
| if the House should within week do its
| part towards wipng out the federal cleo
tons law, the Mckinley bin and every
| other political measure that is marked for
attack
During the past week thirteen deaths
| from eating toadstools occurred in New
| York and vicinity, Five persons died in
| Newark from the effects of the poison
Gus fungi last week, and during the past
| few days eight more deaths at various
! places have occurred, while five others
were expected to die. Most of the vic
| Tins were Italians who had been in the
habit Of pluclling and eating mushrooms
| haphazard, and they mistook the toad
stools for mushrooms The symptoms of
toadstool poisoning are said to be ex-
tremely similar to those Of Asiatic chol-
era. 1t may be, therefore, that some of
] uuc New Jersey CnOlerd cases that the
press dispatches reported some days ago
were cases of toadstool poisoning.
EX-Secretary Tracy has had enough of
politics. The republicans desired to
nominate him for the mayoraIty of Brook
lyn, but he told them: Il never expect
or desire to hold Office during the term of
my natural life, municipal, federal. and
what not. This have long since deter
mined" The eX-secretary is making lots
of money at his law practice and living
easily, and he does not care TO quit
! either
Governor Mckinley opened his cam
| paign with calamity cry that was as
| soulful as it was incorrect The very
| grave condition Of affairs that he depicted
as existing at present is d thing of the
! past. Before the assembling of the extra
| session of congress the outlook was as
| blue as a marsh mud bank, but now that
! the prospect of the repeal of both the
! Sherman and Mckinley laws is good. CON
! ditions have improved considerably.
