At the conference Of the various silver
organizations Of the country which was
held in Chicago last week the silverites
made an estimate Of their strength in the
Democratic party. and Of their chances
20 control the next national democratic
convention. The making Of the estimate
was chiefly the work Of J. II. Acklen Of
Nashville, who years ago, was either a
congressman from Louisiana or coptess-
ant for a seat from one Of the districts
of THAI state. Mr.. Acklen may be very
well qualified for some kinds of work.
but We doubt If there are many demo-
Gratis who would accept his figures show
ing the chances Of the silverites for con-
trolling the next national democratic con-
vention. He says, however. that he has
done his work very thoroughly, and that
he has consulted the most authoritative
sources Of information. It is worthy OF
notice. however, that Mr. Acklen doesn't
give his authorities. We are under the
impression that if he should do so his fig
ures would be pronounced worthless even
by fair-minded silverites.
For instance. in the estimate Of the sill
yer organizations the twenty-six delegates
which Kentucky will have in
the democratic national conven-
ton are put down as silverites. On
what authority is it stated that they will
favor the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver? 1t hasn't been very long since
Kentucky democrats met in state con-
vention and the vote against silver was
about three to one. And yet the silverites
have the gaI to put out statement in
which they say that Kentucky win send
a delega ton Of silverites TO the national
democratic convention. This one illus
tration is sufficient to show the worthless
ness of the estimate of the silver organi-
cations.
Again. Georgia is put in the silver col
umn. The snverites will never see the
day when Georgia democrats viii be rep
resented in national democratic con-
vention by a delegation that favors the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver. We
are satisfied that on fair vote in the
Democratic party Of Georgia free silver
coinage would be Overwhelmingly defeat
ed. and when we say this we are not
talking idly or indulging in guesses.
But after putting such sound money
states as Georgia, Kentucky and Alabama
in the free silver coinage column the sill
verites do not obtain a result that is at
all encouraging to them. The national
democratic convention will be composed
of SIS delegates. OF that number the
silverites claim only 29i They admit that
io6 will be for sound money. and say thar
1sS are doubtful
If they have the cheek to claim the
Kentucky delegation for free silver coin
age it is safe to say that the 1SS delegates
they class as doubtful are certain to be
for sound money The outlook now is
that the silverites will not have 200
delegates in the next national democratic
convention. If they have 100 they ought
TO be thankful. The silver craze will
have pretty nearly disappeared before
national convention delegates are elected.
What there is left of it at that time viii
be found in the populist party.

He Needed AN Escort.

Have men any right to attend a matinee
without capable female escort? asks the
Oakland (Cal , Echo. He had never been
to a matinee before, and on this occasion
found that his seat-at a certain swell
theater across the bay-was just beyond
those occupied by two young women. He
paused doubtfuhy, while they both looked
at him. Then the farther girl began to
gather up her hat, her cape, her bundles
programme and bunch Of flowers
from his seat. All these things she piled
on top of the open box of chocolates on
her knee. Then she stood up and he
started to pass. The second girl seemed
inclined to keep her place. but when it
was clear that with the best intentions
he could not get by her, she heaved a
of her lap, rose. Then the box of choco-
lates dropped. 1T was my fault" he
murmured, and getting by her, he knelt
in the narrow space between the rows
of seats and began to pick up the scatter
ed chocolates. He gathered most of them
except the three he was kneeling on, and
ed
Meanwhile the girl. dropped her opera
glasses on him and stepped on his fin
gers. When, finally, they were all seated.
she dropped her program, he went under
the seat for that, and she offered him
chocolate. AS he felt sure ii was the one
he had taken out of the hair of the woman
in front, he declined. Then she asked
him " he had ever read the book from
which The play was taken, and all through
the next act she told him about it. When
1t came crying time she found her hand
kerchief missing, and he could do less
than offer her his. At the end of the act
he decided to go out for drink. She had
put her parasol in a new place, and he
put her paros0l in a new place, and he
veil of the first girls hat caught on his
vest button and he pulled her hat after
him. When the girls settled down they
said they thought men were awful nui-
sances at the theater, and then they dis
cussed the discomfort to themselves that
would ensue on his return. He stood up
for the rest of the play. and declares
this young man does-that if he ever goes
to matinee again he will take his sister
for protection.

HawaiI's Way In.

A promising statesman has appeared
in the northwest. His name is Cross
Judson n. Cross-and ne is described as
being zone of the ablest lawyers" of his
section. While Mr.. Dole in Honolulu and
the jingoes in this country have been puz-
cling their brains to hit upon a plan for
inducing the United States to annex the
Sandwich Islands, Gross has been quietly
incubating a scheme for the islands to
get into the American union by another
route. The scheme is now Matched, and
has been presented in fun feather to
President Dole.
The Cross plan, in short, is this: Let
the Hawaiians organize a state. run up
the American flag. elect a senator and
congressman and send them to Washing
ton to demand admission" to he Uni
ted States congress. Otherwise stated,
let the Hawaiians do the annexing them
selves. Cross says if they were to do so
they would merely be rounding out the
Monroe doctrine. That doctrine holds
that the United States may establish and
proclaim itself the protector of nearby
countries. The Hawaiian congress, ac-
cording to Cross. has the correlative
right to proclaim itself to all people and
all governments to be part of the great
republic" He argues that Hawaii is an
american country" and further that it
is THE inalienable right of all American
countries to annex themselves. upon his
plan.
1t is said that President Dole and other
Hawaiian leaders have received the sug-
gestion with favor. and are discussing it
gravely. The idea is ridiculous, of
course; still it viii be interesting to note
how it will strike Senators Morgan and
Lodge. and the various Statesmen" who
have a weakness for sugar. and bounties,
and concessions for cables, etc.

what Chandeliers Paper Says.
From the Hartford Times DemO.

The Concord IN h Monitor, which is
owned and conducted by Senator Chan
dler, says that the prospect that CleVe-
dency is increasing every hour, and that
he is the most powerful man in politics
whom the last century has seem" also
republican votes for every one he viii
lose. But the public sentiment of the
United States is very strong against a
third term, for any President. and there
is not much probability that MIR. Cleve-
land VIII be renominated. He evidently
has no idea Of such a thing.

The Sugar Bounty Cases.
(Mass) Republican qnd3

The sugar bounty cases remain in
statu quo waiting for the claimants 10
appeal from the controllers decision re-
ferring their demands to the court of
claims, or to accept that disposition of
them. Secretary Carlisle is said to doubt
II he can overrule the controller, and to
be unwilling to do so; he told Senator
Henderson. counsel for the sugar men,
that he would hear arguments on this
point any time after the goth, but no
time has been set for such a hearing.
1t looks as though the court would finally
be obliged to rule on the right of con-
gress to give bounties.

The richest story of an arrested
lynehing of the season comes from Ten
nessee. a mob of about 100 men boarded
train at Lexington to go down to Cam
den for the purpose of lynching two men
in jail there. They were armed, and were
strong enough to have captured a dozen
ordinary trains. The men of the mob, it
seems, had very little money, and they
neglected to provide themselves with TICK
cts or passes before leaving Lexington.
The conductor asked for their tickets, or
in lieu thereof the money for their fare.
They had neither. Then you can't ride
on this train" said he, "you will have
to get Off" The men were on their way
to kill two prisoners, but the conductors
ultimatum struck them squarely between
the eyes and stunned them. They could
have tied him. hand and foot, and gone
on as they pleased. But they had been
used to giving up a ticket whenever
they rode, and it never occurred
to them that they could ride any other
way. They held consultation and scrap.
ed up enough to pay the fare of about
half Of the party. and the conductor fired
the other half-fifty armed desperadoes
on their way to a lynching-out of the
train. The incident so badly ratified the
mob that the lynehing was given up.

The Spaniards are making a great fight
in Cuba, attacking hospitals and shooting
down sick, crippled and wounded men and
nurses. That may be glorious warfare
from a Spanish point Of view. But other
civilized people will be apt to look upon
such fighting as barbarous and infamous.
The attack upon the Cuban hospital re-
ported in our dispatches this morning
will do far more harm to the Spanish
cause than to that of Cuba.

CHEAP GAS ASSOCIATIONS.
The Only Effective Way TO Strike at the

Editor Times: Your editorial OF yester-
day, "a Wind Gas Corporation, ~ hits the
nail about on the head. But is it SO certain
that the object of the promoters OF said
wind gas company has not after all been
accomplished The dollar-gas bill is rep
resented to be as dead as Hector. Mr.. F.
P. B. Sands. the attorney and, as it ap-
pears, the chief promoter of the scheme for
supplying 75-cent (wind) gas, was ''for-
ninst" the dollar gas bill with as much
vim as any officer or lobbyist OF tue Wash
ington Gaslight Company.
He has succeeded in obscuring the issue
and enabling the subcommittee of the Sen
ate District Committee to explode the
wind gas concern with a great noise and
under cover of the ruction to kill the dollar
gas BILL ''And then We ripe and ripe, and
then We rot, f" or words to that effect.
The Times is very right also in the sug-
gestion that there must be united effort
of gas consumers to secure a reduction in
the price. A popular 'clamor," mani :
tested in the same way as in the proposition
for raising the dam at Great Falls, would
accomplish the object.
! am inclined to think that The Times
estimate of the amount IL at dollar gas
would save the public Ga half a million dol
lars each year, is somewhat high. But
if the saving amounted to but quarter of
a million dollars year, is it not worth a
strong and united effort? This sum is
exacted from us each year over and above
a fair and reasonable price for the COM
modify
To speak plainly, 1t is robbery. The
methods of the corporation are not exactly
the same as those Searcey and MorSanfield
at Aqua Creek, but he result is tie same.
How passing strange it is that so few
of our citizens are found willing TO take
any active part in relieving themselves
from the exaction OF our chief monopoly.
