The Silver Issue.
At the Denver meeting of

At the Denver meeting of the re,
publican national league a resolu-
tion was adopted demanding that
the full use and highest position of
silver be restored If this means
anything at all, it means that silver
should be coined free and unlimited
and at fixed ratio On the same
day the Illinois democrats declared
for free silver and the Pennsylvania
democrats adopted resolution en-
dorsing silver coinage.
All such proceedings 60 to show
that people do not consider the sill
yer question settled, and that they
propose in the end to have silver
coined with as little restriction as
gold and on a definite, ratio of
value. It is said that there is even
strong sentiment among the citi
zens of the New England states in
favor of the free coinage of silver
and that the New England represen-
tatives in congress only represent
the brokers and money-lenders.
However this may be, there is a
sentiment outside of the New Eng
land states strong enough to rule.
A few months ago the eastern re-
publicans were chuckling over the
prospects of a division in the demo
cratic party on the silver question,
and now they find themselves con
frouted with a worse condition than
they had ever hoped to see eneom.

The Democracy And The People.

AL the enemies OF democratic re-
form-.be trusts. the monopOlies. |
the plutocrats and all others who
have grown rich by having other
peoples money legislated into their
pockets-are just now rejoicing in
the conviction thai there Will be an
end made OF democratic rule in the
next election.
These gentlemen are counting
chickens net yet out of the egg.
Perhaps the next election will have
some surprise for them.
There is not the least reason to
suppose that the people have chang
ed their minds on the main issue
between democracy and republican
ism. There is nowhere any indica-
ton that the great body of Ameri-
can citizens are any fonder of being
robbed by taxes for the benefit of
favored few than they were in 1890
or 1892.
The people have had hard times
this year. But the people are not
fools. They know where the hard
times come from. They know that
they are still living under laws en-
acted by republicans, the laws they
revolted aginst in 1860 and again in
1892, the laws thev elected demo
cratic president and congress to re-
peal. They know that every tax they
pay today is a republican tax They
know that protectionism which keeps
the prices OF their necessaries high
and shuts them off from free access
to foreign markets with the products
of their industry is republican pre-
tectionism enacted i'll the Mckinley
bill. They know that the cxtrava-
giant expenditures of the government
which met by appropriations were
decreed by republican congress.
Besides ali this the people under
stand their present situation. They
know why their taxes have not been
reduced. They are not deceived by
professions or party names. They
have seen a democratic house of rep
resentatives frame and pass an act to
reduce their taxes and promote
prosperity in the way they have
themselves decreed. They have
seen that measure twisted out of
shape ard delayed for months in
the senate, not by will of the demo-
Gratis there. but under compulsion of
republican representative of the
trusts in alliance with other protec-
ZIONIST trust agents who for conven-
ience and personal advantage mas
querade as democrats while repudi
ating ever fundamental democratic
principle and doctrine.
The sole reason that a just tariff
reform bill has not become law be-
fore this time is that there is in fact
no real democratic majority in the
senate.
1t is likely, then. that the people
will elect republican congress next
time, and so surrender all hope of
reform, or that they will again en-
phasize their desire for reform and
patiently set to work to secure it by
elect,ng legislatures that will send
real democrats to the senate
1t will Le time enough for a re-
turn to the republican class legisla-
tion when the democrat system of
legislation for the common benefit of
the people shall have been tried and
found wanting.
II there was any significance in
the elections Of 1890 and 1892, the
next congress should be democratic.

1t was a thoroughly deserved and
sincere tribute that was paid to Yer
mont's honored senator, Hon.
Justin S. Morrill,, on Saturday by
members of congress and other
prominent people, the occasion be-
ing the senator's eighty-fourth birth
day. He received congratulations
on all sides, and every Vermonter
will join in wishing tor this worthy
representative of our state the long
est possible lease of life The New
York Press speaks thus of him in
commenting on the eighty-fourth
birthday:
at has seldom fallen to the lot of
prominent American leader and
legislator to be found in the harness
of public duty at such an advanced
age. The celebration occurs at
time to remind the republic wildly
of the debt which it owes to Senator
Morrill. The Morrill, tariff, passed
just on the eve OF the civil war, was
one of the wisest and most timely
measures that ever passed into the
statutes OF the nation. To the en-
actment Of that law the country is
not only indebted for many of the in
dustries which until the advent Of
Clevelandism made the American
people the most prosperous on earth,
but it was greatly instrumental in
saving the Union from disruption.
While the Morrill, tariff itself is no
longer in operation, the principle up
on which it was founded has con-
tinued to be the groundwork of the
industrial policy of the country, and
it will continue to be such long after
Grover Cleveland, who now struts
and frets his hour upon the stage
shall have been forgotten.'

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Bishop Hall of Vermont is to visit
Boston shortly, and preparations
are beng made by his friends there
for his reception.
Col. Childs, editor of the St. AL
bans Messenger, made a hne adj
dress before the Sons of Vermont in
Rhode Island, at Providence on Fri
day evening last, referring, among
other things, to the intense and
binding love of Vermont's sons and
daughters for their native soil as a
popularity of the state. Col. Chiids
is an easy and interesting talker,
and can tell story effectively.
The feature of the April Cosmopol-
itan is short and sangulnary story
by the great Napoleon, written
when he was only 10 years old.
The story is as full of blood and
thunder" as a dime novel and shows
that even at an early age his mind
was on battles and all the cruel
effects of war. The story is part
of his manuscripts that were origi-
nally bought by Lord Ashburnham
for $4,000.
In an interview with M. lola in
the A pril number of McClure's mag
azine the French novelist tells the
public that he is candidate for the
French Academy as long as he lives
and that he will apply for member
ship each time an Academician dies.
In this country after a public man
has been squelched few times his
Yankee instinct tells him something
is wrong in his makeup. lola, how
ever, thinks his somewhat question
able novels should be endorsed by
electing their author to the Academy.
The Academicians have always
thought otherwise.
The face value of the entire set of
Columbian stamps is $16.34 and
yet the set is selling now for $25.
The higher values of these stamps
cannot now be purchased at the
post Offices and are all in the hands
of dealers or spectators. The pro-
visional stamps of Hawaii are also
getting rare, as new set has just
been issued. The son of Claus
Spreckels, the sugar king, has $1O,-
900 invested in Hawaiian stamps,
which are now selling, for the COM
plete set, for about six times their
face value.

THREE SENATOR'S AT ONCE.

A Bellows Falls dispatch of the
18th inst. says; MANY journals
throughout the United States have
commented recently upon the COM
ing election of three United States
senator's in Louisiana at one time,
as coincidence which never occurr-
ed before in the history of the coun-
try. The proceedings of the Yer
mont legisla ture for 1866 show that
on Oct. "a. of that year, George F.
Edmunds was elected to complete
the term OF Solomon Foote, de-
ceased; Luke P. Poland was elected
for the unexpired term of Jacob Col
lamer, also deceased; while Justin
S. Morrill, was elected to the full
term of six years, succeeding Mr..
Poland"

The only advices received from
Samoa since our last issue come by
the way of special press letter dated
at Apia, March %. This letter indi-
Gates that the trouble, Or most of it,
occurred on a different island from
that on which Chief Justice Ide re-
sides. About week after the first
outbreak another battle occurred
March 19), in which the rebels were
defeated by the government forces.
Ten or twelve men on each side were
killed and large number wounded.
No news of further trouble has been
received, but the situation was re-
garded as somewhat critical. The
report that Germany was planning
to establish a protectorate of her
own on these islands is denied.

IN CONGRESS-.

THURsDAY-The time in the house was
wasted in filibustering, Speaker Crisp re-
fnsing to adopt the republican plan of
counting a quorum. The speaker s
arbitrary conduct towards the minority
has made them determined to embarrass
him at every possible point. Crisp's
friends urge him to count a quorum.
He proposes to hold the members in
their places by imposing fine on
abseenteeism.-Iu the senate the tariff
debate was continued,
.FRIDAY-The further urgent deficiency
bill was debated for while in the
senate and gave way to the tariff bill.
Senator PETER of Kansas concluded his
speech. Senator Mitchell of Oregon
spoke against the bill, denouncing it as
inimical to the wool industry and in all
respects unjust and demoralizing. Quite
a tilt occurred between Mr.. Hill and
some of the republican senator's as to the
advisability of adopting Reed rules to
secure a quorum in the senate.-In the
house, hllbusterlng continued, and, I'M
able to secure a quorum, the house adj
journed.
SATURDAY-In the senate the tariff bill
was taken up. and Senator Quay rep
of Pennsylvania made a strong speech
against it. He emphasized the immense
cost to the country of tariff changes, re-
ferred to the tide of prosperity reached
under protection as exemplifed under
republican rule, said the Mckinley bill
was meant only as an experiment but
embodied the genuine idea of protection,
and denounced the Wilson bill as a hard,
narrow, inconsistent measure that
would open up a long vista of uncer-
tainty. He would be in favor of some
bill that would bring about permanent
settlement of the tariff question.-In the
house nothing of Importance was &C
complished.
MoNDAY-Both houses adjourned early
in the day as mark of respect for the
late Senator Vance.
TUEsDAY-A prominent feature of the
house proceedings was the adoption Of a
quorum-counting rule, on the Gar
Reed principle. The applause on the re-
publican side over the vote of 212 to Al
was very emphatic. Speaker Crisp con-
graduated the democrats on their wis
dom. The house then took up the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill
In the senate the tariff bill claimed con-
sideration, and the debate thereon will
continue another week.

BRECKINRIDGE GETS JUSTICE.

The verdict in the Pollard Breckin-
ridge case at Washington, rendered
after a short session of the jury, will
not offend the moral sense OF the
country, but will the rather be look
ed upon as directly in the line of
justice. The jury took fifteen ballots,
found the Kentucky congressman
guilty of seduction and breach of
promise, and assessed the damages
at fifteen thousand dollars. There
was no contest over the question of
the respondents guilt, but considera-
BILE discussion arose as to the
damages, and the fifteen thousand
dollars was a compromise figure.
Nobody who has given this case
the least attention could expect any
other verdict from a jury of intel
hgent men. While on the witness
stand this respondent-representing
Kentucky in the national halls of
legislation, lauded for his eloquence
and praised for his ability as a
statesman-admitt that words
could not measure the depth of his
fault and that his crime against soci-
ETY. was beyond question. This be-
ing the case, he could expect no
other treatment at the hands of the
jury. He has, however, petitioned
for new trial, and proposes, it is
said, to make vigorous fight for re-
election to congress. Whether Ken
lucky will still cling to her ''favorite
son." despite recent events, remains
to be seen.
The Brazilian rebellion, the end of
which was so apparent not long ago,
may now be said to have entirely
collapsed. Mello, the insurgent, who
held out for some time after his as
sociate Da Cana had fed the coun-
try, has now given up the fight and
surrendered to the authorities of
Uruguay. Many lives and much
treasure have been sacrificed during
this revolution, and although the
federal government has triumphed
over its enemies, the peculiarly rest
less character of the peoples who
inhabit the various provinces of
Brazil make it not entirely safe to
predict long reign of peace in that
republic. Much will depend, doubt
less, on the rigor or mildness of the
policy adopted by Peixoto in his
treatment of those so recently in
rebellion.
