says editorially in this weeks issue upon
Dr. Lansing's charge against President
Cleveland:
"The Rev. L ]. Lansing, D. D.. pastor
of Park street Congregational church,
Boston. delivered an address at the an
niversary of the New England confer
ence temperance society at Salem. April
4, in which he distinctly declared that
President Cleveland was intoxicated at
the naval review in New York
This accusation has aroused a storm
of indignation throughout and the re-
gret is general and profoundly sincere
that this distinguished minister made so
cupant of the Highest office
in the gift of the people. Even
were the statement true, it would have
been much more discreet not to have
uttered it But it appears beyond ques-
tion, from the presidents own statement
and from those who were nearest to him
on the day in question, that not only was
he not intoxicated, but that he had no {
tasted liquor
"While we have no doubt that Mr..
Lansing fully accredited the information
as reliable upon which he based his as
sertion, there seems now to be for him
no other manly and christian course than
to humbly confess his indiscretion and to
ask President Cleveland and an indig-
nant public to condone his wrong.
"Of course the ministers of the New
England conference and the members of
the Methodist church as whole utterly
disclaim all responsibility for this rash

TO ENLIST LABOR.
Silver Party Managers Will
Appeal to Working Men.
They Will Charge Their Trou-
bles to Gold Bugs.
ARRAIGN WALLSTREET
Silver Literature Will beWidely
Distributed.
Socialistic Glasses Are to be
Brought In.

NEW YORK, April 10.-A Washington
special to local paper says: The lead
ers of the new silver party are said to be
laying plans for the attempted conver-
sion of the labor elements of the east to
the free silver doctrine. They are cred
tied with the opinion that the existing
unrest and dissatisfaction among the Ia
boring class can be utilized to excellent
advantage in furthering their plans.
An outline of their intentions furnished
today contains the statement that they
will charge that much much of the
trouble OF the laboring classes is due to
what they term contracted currency
and to the monopoly of the gold bugs as
they say. The socialistic classes will be
arrayed against the gold standard as be-
ing synonymous with capital and mo-
nopoly.
Wall street and the Rothschilds were
set up as the bugbear OF the working
men, responsible for all their ills and the
free coinage of silver and an enlarged
circulating medium will be suggested as
the only cure for existing troubles.
The first move in the direction of
eliciting the attention of people upon
whom the new party is working is d
dissemination of vast amounts of free
silver literature. Hundreds of books and
pamphlets presenting the silver question
in manner calculated to appeal to the
people are being circulated throughout
the country.
Every time eastern men make declar-
alton in favor of free coinage the pro-
moters of the new party seize upon it
eagerly and give it the widest circula-
tion
On the other hand the assertion of
Senator Sherman, a financier Of world
wide repute, to the effect that
free coinage would result in the
most tremendous financial panic this
country has ever known, and that it
would paralyze business and trade be-
yond anything ever known in the history
of any nation in the world is hooted al
as being merely the raving of 'gold

PEACE BELIEVED NEAR.
The Japanese-Chinese Armistice Closes in
Ten Days.

Ten Days.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-The Japan
ese- Chinese armistice closes in ten days
so that it is anticipated by officials and
diplomats that the final terms of peace
must be near at hand. It is stated how :
ever, by a diplomat of experience with
the Chinese and Coreans, that it isa char
acteristic with them not to meet an
emergency until the last day.
1t is agreed by all hands, including
Japanese and Chinese officials, that the
independence of Corea will be one of
the .erms of peace. This brings out the
curious fact that the United States is the
only power which has heretofore recog-
nized Corea's independence and has re-
ceived diplomatic delegation from that
country.
1t is believed a peace agreement be-
tween Japan and China will so conspic-
-uously affirm Corea's independence that
the little kingdom will extend her treaty
relations with the remainder of the
world
