THE FUTURE OF SILVER.
What White Metal Advocates In Con-
gress Say OF Engiand's Attitude.

WASHINGTON, ID. u, March o. |
None Of the silver men in the House s
of Representatives expressed any ,
surprise when informed of the dis
couraging remarks OF the British
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir
Vernon Harcourt, ON the outlook for
the reassembling of the monetary
conference.
Representative McCreary Of Ken
lucky, who was a delegate from the
United States to the conference said:
''The outlook does not indicate that
an international Monetary Confer.
enee will be held this year. There
is, however, a growing feeling in
Europe in favor of the enlarged use
of silver. England has been in
favor of gold monometallism for a
number of years, but there are
many able men, like Mr.. Balfour,
Sir William Holdsworth, Sir Henry
Macy Thompson and others, who
faver bimetallism. England has
blocked the way more than any other
nation, and prevented an interna-
tional agreement for many years but
1 believe there will be, after awhile,
such a demand for international
b%imetallism that another conference
must be held at Paris or Brussels.
But it is probably impossible that it
can assemble until several leading
countries Of Europe indicate desire
, for the conference"
,, Representative Newlands of Ne
i vada said that be had no expectation
that England would move for a re-
assembling of the conference while
the Liberals remain in power. Ii
the Conservatives could secure con.
troll he would consider the prospect
t brighter for an international agree.
= ment, since Balfour and other prom
> inent men of that party were. favor
able to silver. He was confident
that under this administration the
initiative would not be taken by the
United States.
Representative Bryan of Nebrasks
said: "Those in this country who
are opposed to any further use o
6 silver in the United States, excep'
S by international agreement, art
awaiting England's consent. This
dispatch indicates that England doe
not intend to join US. Speaking
for myself, | have not expected En-

allowed to roam about society just
when their instincts are the strongest,
and their reasons the weakest. The
French theory-to which the English is
akin somewhat - is that a mothers
knowledge is better than a girls fancy {;
and that the wisdom that has hitherto
chosen her teachers. physicians, spirit
ual guides and companions, that has
guided her through sickness and
health, is not likely to fail in selecting
the man most suitable for her child's
husband.
This latter theory supposes women to
love, naturally, any personable man who
is their own, and who is kind to them;
that is, if she has virgin heart and
comes i'll this state from her lessons to
her marriage duties. The American
theory suppOses girls to love by SYM
pathy. and through soul attraction and
personal attraction; consequently, our
girls are let loose early--too early-to
choose among a variety of Wills and
Franks and Charles: and the natural
result is great number of what are
called love Matches" to which 1t must
be acknowledged mesalliances are too
often the corUllary. Between these two
theories, it is impossible to make pos

tive selection, for the bad of each is so
both alike are capable of the most un-
qualified praise and blame. 1t
may, however, be safely asserted
that the confidence every American
girl has in her own power to choose her
own husband helps to lessen the dau-
ger and to keep things right. For an
honorable girl may be trusted with her
own honor; and a diShonorable one,
amid number to choose from, may
peradrenture fare better than she de-
serves, for Fortune does sometimes
bring i'll the bark that is not steered.
Most girls make mesalliances in sheer
thoughtleSSnesS, or through self-will, or
in that youthful passion for romance
which thinks it fine to lose their world
for love. Foolish novels are as often to
blame for their social crime as foolish
men- novels which are an apotheoSiS of
love at any cost! Love against every
domestic and social obligation! Love
in spite of all prudent thought of meat
and money mattersl Love in cottage,
and nightingales and honeysuckles to
pay the remit And if parents object to
their daughter marrying ruin, then
they are represented as monsters of
cruelty; while the girl who flies stealth
lily to her misery, and breaks every
moral tie to do so, is idealized into an
angel of truth and suffering.
In real life what are parents to do
with a daughter whose romantic folly
has made her marry their groom or their
footman? We have Outlived the mex
orable passions of our ancestors. and
: their undying loves and hatreds, sacri-
fees and revenges. Our social code
tolerates no passion swallowing up ali
the rest, and we must be content with a
decent expression of feeling. What
their daughter has done they
cannot undo; nor can they re-
lieve her from the social conse-
quences of her act. She has chosen
to put their servant above and before
them. and to humiliate her whole
family, that she may please her low
born lover and herself, and she has
therefore no right to any more consider
alton than she has given. Her parents
may not cease to love her, and they may
spare her all reproaches. knowing that
her punishment is certain; but they
cannot, for the sake OF their other chill
dren, treat her socially above the station
she has chosen. She has become the
wife of servant, and they cannot &C
cept her husband as their equal, nor
can they insult their friends by intro
ducing him to them. How wretched is
the position she has put herself in, for
If the man she married be naturally a
low man, he will probably drag her to
his level by the ''grossness of his nat
ure." If she be a woman of strong
character, she may lift her husband up

peril of her own higher life. And if she
finds it impossible, either to lift him to

reputation of being romantic, it is GER
tain that in the matter of unequal mar
riage they are more frequently impru-
dent than women. There is some pos
sibllity of lifting a low-born woman to
the level OF a cultivated man, and men
dare this possibility far more frequently
than is generally supposed. Perhaps
after long season they find the fine
ladies with whom they have tlirted
and danced a WEAKNESS: and
in this mood they are suddenly
taken with some simple, unfash-
ionable girl, who does not know
either how to dress, oriflirt, or dance. So
they make the grave error of thinking
that because fine ladies are insupport-
able, women who are not fine ladies Will
be sweet and mpaniOnable. But ii the
one be a blank. will that prove the other
a prize? The dizziness or folly of polite
woman is bad enough; but the dizziness
and folly of an uneducated woman are
worse. Very soon they find this out,
and then come indifference, neglect,
cruelty, and all the misery that attends
two ruined lives.
The result of unequal marriage in both
sexes is certain Indebtedness, and this
verdict is not to be altered by Its eX-
ceptions, however brilliant they may
seem to be. For when man of means
and education marrieS an uneducated
girl OF low birth; or q woman OF APP
parent culture and high social position
marrieS her servant, and the marriages
are reasonably happy, then it may be
positively said there has been no mes
alliance" The husband and wife were
UNEQUAL only in their eXternalS. i lie real
characters Of both must have been Vul-
gar and naturally low and underDred.
1t is folly to talk OF two beings un-
equally married growing together" or
OF" time welding their differences" and
making things comfortable. Habit in
deed recorcileS us to much suffering
and to many trials, but an unequal
marriage is trial no one has any BUSH
ness to have. 1t is without excuse, and
therefore without comfort. When the
Almighty DEGREES us martyrdom, He
blends His peace and consultations there
with ;Dut when we torture ourselves, our
sufferingS rage like a confiagratiOn.
Perhaps the chain may be worn, as
tight shoe is worn into shape, until il
no longer lanes; but oh! the misery of
the process! And even in such case
the resigned sufferer has no credit in
his patience; quite the contrary. for he
knows as we'll rs others know though
submission TO what God ordainS is the
very height of energy and nobility, sub
mission TO the mistakes we ourselves
make is the very climax of cowardice
and weakness. AMELIA E. BARR.
