Senior Castelar's Conversion.
CNew York Herald.)


Aftor snendlng more than forty years
In fighting the battle Of republicanism In
Snain Senior CASTELAR, has given in his
adhesion to the supporters OF 'ne ii,p"-
archy. The news Is at first sisht star'iiis
enough 1t Is not often that tne wor'd
ia presented with the spectacle OF a
statesman of 81 throwing aside cause
which ever since his entry into public Ire
he has made especially his own, ana any,
ing himself with the defenders Of dame
trically opposite principles. That Is what
Senior CASTELAR, has done.
The truth IL that during recent years
Senior Castelar's attitude has of necessity
undergone considerable modification. He
has been Obliged to yield to the force
of events. on the one hand the Rcpubll-
cans are disunited and weak. on the
other the monarchy. thanks 10 the lbe-
raj policy pursued since Alfonso. XII.
was proclaimed, is consolidated and
strong. All the reforms which CASTELAR,
formerly emanded-universal suffrage,
freedom of discussion. complete personal
liberty-have been conceded, with the re-
suit that Spain has been pacifed and
willingly finds in the monarchy a security
against the ambitions of contending fac
tons.
In these circumstances Senior Castellr
came to the conclusion that to oppose the
present dynasty would be to betray the
best interests of Spain. For time. as
leader of the Possibiists, he remained
theoretically a Republican. and practically
something else. Now. finally. he has
brought his theory and his practice into
harmony.

Where Good Service Counts.

At the Democratic primary election 10
be held in this city on the Zoth instant
i'm addition TO the city officers whom we
usuallv nominate at municipal primaries,
we are called upon to elect from each OF
the six wards five voters who snail con-
stitute the City Democratic Committee
for the next two years.
This committee has entire charge OF
marty affairs here. and is therefore from
time to time called upon to discharge
many important duties. For instance,
is the City Committee the present COM
roittee) which will decide all election con-
tests arising from the primary OF the 18TH.
The committee decides. too, whether NOM
nations for given Offices shall be made
by a primary or by convention, fixes the
date. and raises the money necessary 10
nay the expenses thereof, and to conduct
campaigns. &c.
The work of a committeeman requires
intelligence, fidelity, and attention. 1t Is
in the power of a committee to build up
or wreck party. That the Democratic
party in Richmond is so strong and har-
monious speaks well for the committee
men who have served us for many years
past. Now We must make sure on the
Goth that we get as good-and II possible
better-men than we have had before.
TO this end names of candidates should
be filed with the City Committee by noon
Of tomorrow. The assessment upon each
candidate is s., which sum goes to help
pay the expenses of the primary election.
We earnestly trust that each ward will
have ticket OF eight or ten names from
which to choose the five members, but
we hear that II the present indifference
on the subject continues there may not
be as many as five candidates in some
Of the wards. Let us look to this.
While there is no sort Of pay attached
TO the position of committeeman. while It
requires time and labor. and while ones
services are not always properly appre-
ciated, man who sincerely desires to
be of use to his fellow-citizens may be
assured that in no other place here-not
even in the City Council--can he do more
good for the party, and the people gene
rally. than by giving unseifish service
on the City Democratic Committee.

Another pimsssiiic Conference

The following cabIegrar1 from Germany
will interest everybody who believes u
possible for the Ave nrst-class powers Of
the earth to solve the silver problem
themselves.
"BERLIN. April 1.-THE recent speech
made IN the ReIchstag by Posadowsky'
secretary OF the Imperial treasury. rs re-
rarded by many German bimetailists as
indicating the intention OF the secretary
10 call another conference TO discuss a
plan similar to the one already submitted
to the currency commission by Herr
Arendt. This scheme contemplates the
fixing of the price OF silver. by treaty
agreement between the countries interest
Cd and the issuance OF commercial silver
certIacates. Until the currency commits
sion shall have concluded its labors, now
ever. nothing in this direction VIII be
done"
Possibly the currency commission VIII
itself attempt reform in the manner IN
d,cated as the one likely to find favor IN
the eyes OF the proposed new conference.
We have never doubted the ability OF
Germany. Great Britain. France. Austria
and the United States to force THIS ques-
ton TO a satisfactory settlement.

The Income Tax.

That Senator Hill spoke in his effort OF
Monday last for almost the entire popu-
lation of his State, Republicans and
Democrats, on the income tax would seem
to be pretty clearly proved by the fact
that the vote in the New York Legisla-
ture on the question OF returning thanks
TO the senator for that speech was prac-
tically unanimous. in the lower house
1t was l02 TO 3.
The southern people who desire more
silver, or more greenbacks, or more cur
rency of any kind. might as well make
up their minds that their arguments have
made not even the slightest impression
upon the moneyed men in the North.
These gentlemen constitute. so to speak.
a world OF their own. To use DR.. John
sons phrase. they know they're right,
and there's an end of it, They do not
admit that there is any room for argu-
ment.

lions will not be satisfactory 70 the men
who are clamoring for a denationalized
currency. They wish for no such COM
promise. They would like to get some
thing for nothing-or too many OF them
would. 1t would not consist with their
schemes TO have such law ~ Mr..
Warner proposes. We are sure It would be
more popular with the advocates OF the
present system than with the advocates
OF a new banking system.
Here we would remind Mr. Warner
that Mr.. JEFF Chambers plan OF securing
depositors ought to be Incorporated into
his system. That feature added TO II, his
plan would be a most tempting one. We
fear. however, az we have said. that the
advocates of Federal control would Ike
the new law better than the advocates
OF State control would like 1t. The New
York Times says OF Mr.. Warmers
scheme:
"The most important feature Of the
system here provided for Is the frank
OF the principle of collate-
raj securities TO be held by the govern
nent either Federal or State for the
redemption OF the notes. This we believe
10 be entirely sound"
This is a proposition which we turn
,ver to the reader for his patient ana
,areful consideration.

Why will senator's exhaust the patience
Of the public with speeches to which no.

time in Senator Daniels seat listening.
but when Senator Hill came into the
Senate the Tammany man talked with
him, and Mr.. Lodge lost another auditor.
Senator'S and Representatives strolled in
and out, and before Mr.. Lodge had be-
gun to approach the end OF his speech
the buzz OF conversation was loud and
persistent"

Federal Control Of the Banks.


The currency of this country has for
the Federal Government. 1t will al
ways be thus controlled either directly
or indirectly. III Congress were to
pass this day law providing that af-
ter the year 1896 the circulating notes
of no bank should be under Federal
control, and that the banks themselves
should thenceforth be freed from such
control. that law would not stand one
day longer than Congress might choose
to let 1t stand. The circumstances
which justified the passage Of the ex.
listing law levying a tax upon the issues
Of State banks. and justified Congress
In taking control OF the entire bank.
ing business OF the country would never
be lost sight OF, but would be pleaded
as precedent whenever for any rea.
son whatever Congress and the Pras,.
dent might deem 1t expedient to estab.
lish a new notwithstanding system and
allow no circulating notes to be issued
except those issued under the autho,
rity OF an act Of Congress. The neces.
stiles OF the government will be as good
plea in 1855 as they were thirty years
ago.
II. therefore, the people desire to pos
sess permanent currency, and not one
to be consigned to the grave whenever
Congress snail desire to bury IL, they
would better content themselves with
the circulating notes We now have.
Mr.. Swanson. Of this State, favors a
compromise measure. and entertains the
hope that a scheme may be perfected
which will lift the hand OF Federal
power from the shoulders of the banks
and leave them to be governed by State
laws. though there would have to be
forty-four State banking-systems and
ten times forty-four kinds Of circula.
ting notes.

provide for securing depositors would be

The WheeIman's Woe.

The plaudits OF the multitude upsoared,
In tribute to the 'cycler's wondrous
flight;
He had a mile by such record scored
He'd cleaned all other records out OF

But while they cheered, adown his cheeks
did pass
Tears that fell splashlng to his dust
clad feet,
For he had scored In no time, and. alas,
There were no records more for him
TO beat.

Senator Walsh's Position Defined

The Augusta (Ga) Chronicle. Senator
Walsh's paper, again defines his position.
The Chronicle says:
Senator Walsh is in favor OF carrying
out every pledge of the Democratic plat
form, and in favor OF an income-tax be-
sides. A good law is not to be barred
simply because II was not specifically
named in the platform. The Democratic
party is pledged to carry out the mea-
sures named In the platform. but II Is
not pledged not TO do anything else.
There IL nothing in the platform against
an income-tax. The majority of the
party has the same right to demand GER
tain other legislation that 1t has to lay
down certain planks in its platform.
The party certainly Is not barred from
all legislation which Is not specifically
named I'm its platform
The Chronicle thus makes a good point.
Certainly that would be n poor party
which should bind itself to favor no
measure not mentioned in the party's
national platform.
