MUST HUSTLE.
Republican Leaders Admit the Dem.
Ocrats Have N Big Chance to Win
the Next Election.

Washington, April 20.-Chairman Bah
cock, of the Republican congressional
committee, when asked what he thought
of the outlook for Republican victory
this fall said:
"The result of the election this fall will
be of greater Importance, and there is
more at stake, than at any election held
since the war. At present there are
twenty-five states that have been appor-
toned by the Democrats and eleven by
the Republicans. The remainder elect at
large, having only one or two members
each, and have not been apportioned.
The vote that elected Benjamin Hsrri-
son president In 1883 gave us ajority
of three in the house, but the same vote
to-day, which was then a decided Repub-
lican victory, would give the Democrats
ten to twelve majority by gerrymander
in large northern states, among which
are New York, Michigan, Illinois and
Wisconsin. So You will at once see that
we can win by a large popular vote and
still lose the house. The Democrats now
have 120 members and the Republicans
seven from the solid south. They need
only fifty y-nine more to make them ma.
jority and have twenty. eight northern
states to elect them from, while we must
secure 172 members from these same
states to organize the house Dor, in other
words, We must elect 172 members out oi
229 districts, or three members to theiI
one. And under the present gerrymand
ers the problem is, can we elect rs pei
cant of the memh hers in the twenty. uht
eastern, western and northern states
The present Indications are that we car
elect in over 80 per cent of these districts
but to do this we must contest every
| inch of ground.

TRADE AND SILVER.
Significant Statements Showing the
Progress Of the Bimetallic
Principle.

New York, April 2O.-A cablegram to
the Post from London says: The con-
dition of American trade and threat
ened long delay in passing the tariff bill
are causing uneasness here and affecting
all trades. Unless the tariff bill is passed
quickly, it is feared the position will ap-
proach commercial crisis
There is a growing conviction in fnan-
cial circles that international action in
favor of bimetallism may be taken at an
earlier day than was anticipated at the
opening of the year. The London Statist
for the current week-a careful observer
and not over friendly to the white metal
predicts price ranging from 30 to 33d
for the summer, which may go above
35d should the Indian government yield
to pressure and reopen the mints to coin
age.
Washington.-Senator Lodges resolu-
tion aimed to coerce England into an in
ternational agreement to use silver money
is we'll received by the Republicans. They
think it's adoption and enforcement would
remove the only obstacle to such agree
ment and would lead to the rehabilitation
of silver throughout the world.
The Democrats decline to commit them
selves. Most of them who favor silver
say they have not read the resolution anC
so can not discuss it.
In his tariff speech Senator Quay made
the following pronounced statements
"Under the pending legislation it will be
the duty OF Pennsylvania and of the
country gravely to consider the expedi
ency of an advance of the silver standard
If our home market is to be surrendered
to foreign manufacturers and importers
by radical reductions of customs duties il
may prove to the interest of this country
that our obligations should be met in oul
own money. If we can not have tariff
of customs we may have tariff of ex
change, which at the present price of sill
yer would exceed 100 per centad valorem
This would amount to a second declara
tion of American independence which
would overthrow the combined power o.
the dealers in gold in our great CONNER
cial metropolis and the foreign importer
Of goods, and isolate US IN the production
of all articles which this country is capa
BILE of manufacturing or producing"

THE GRANT QUESTION.
Praise for the Land Courts Work
Influence tor Good in the Ad-
yancement Of the South
west,

Says the Denver News, editorially, in
its issue of Wednesday morning:
"The United States land court is doing
admirable work in disposing of the Mexi-
can grants which have 80 long cursed
New Mexico. It's latest act is the reiec-
tion of the Nolan grant in the rich Mora
valley, by which act 100000 acres will be
opened to settlement as part of the pub
lie domain. The greed of those Nolan
claimants is illustrated by the fact that
they had already been awarded grant in
the Askansas valley of this state. The
court very properly reached the conclu-
sion that one grant was sufficient, and that
the Mexican government never intended
to give them two.
"ln the decisions thus far rendered the
land court has been fair and Just, and
demonstrated that it is in no measure
controlled by the influences which have
for half century sought to retain these
grants as private property as against the
interests of the people. Its establishment
by act of congress was perhaps the most
fortunate thing ever done for New Mex
leo, Arizona and that portion of Colorado
lying south of the Arkansas river. The
greatly retarded by the uncertainy which
hung over the titles, and this extended
to mining as we'll as agricultural districts.
The latest illustration of this fact is the
Cochiti mining district in which it will be
impossible to obtain anything more than
a squatter's title until the land court pass
es on the grant, within which this new and
promising district lies. The Cochiti
grant, it may be added, is of SO shadowy
nature that the prediction is confidently
made in Santa Fe that the claim will be
rejected by the court.
"The question of titles in New Mexico
and Arizona and the restoSat,ca OF SO
many thousand acres to the public do
main, will hasten their progress, and rap
idly increase their population. The aver
age American wants an undisputed title
to his land and this is now being made
possible in large portions of the terri
tories named by the action of the United
States land court
