THE MEMPHIS CONVENTION,

The principal value of the Memphis
convention was its furnishing of a favor
able occasion to put before the public the
arguments against free coinage in sec
tion of the country which is pretty well
saturated with free coinage ideas. AS
showing the sentiment of the people of
that region is was of little value; because
it was made up largely of business men
and bankers and contained no represen-
tatives of the masses of the people, es-
pecially the agricultural people. To infer
from it that the South is less strongly in
favor of free silver than has been sup
posed would be a mistake AS a demon
tration of so-called 'tsound money
sentiment it was not of much account be
cause any day it could be greatly over
matched by demonstration of free silver
sentiment.
But as giving an opportunity for the
dispensing of facts and arguments against
free coinage under circumstances that
would be likely to fix attention upon
them it has doubtless proved of value.
Speeches like those made by Mr.. Carlisle
must be effective if the people can only be
induced to read them, and when they are
delivered as these were in the heart of the
South and by a popular Southerner it is
altogether probable that they will excite
interest enough for the people of that
section to read them at least. Another
way in which the convention will prove
valuable will be by giving courage to the
opponents of free coinage in the South by
showing them that they will have sup
port. Up to the time of this gathering it
hold undisputed possession of the South
ern field, and that the opponents were not
going to enter it eyen

THE PRESS.
TUESDAY, MAY 26.

The Ohio Republicans meet today to
nominate a state ticket and adopt plat
form. The convention will attract atten-
tion because it is the first Republican
convention to be held since the silver
question has become prominent issue.
The chances are that the deliverance OF
the convention on this subject, while it
will approve bimetalism if it can be
brought Eabout by international agree
ment, will strongly oppose free coinage
by the United States alone. OF course
Mckinley will be endorsed for the Presi-
dency, and an attempt will be made by
ex-Gov. Foraker's friends to get an en-
dorsement of his candidacy for the sena-
torship, the outcome of which is some
what doubtful. The money question will
probably be the most prominent issue in
the coming campaign in the state, mas
much as the Democrats will push it
to the front by declaring in favor of free
coinage.

The corporation that is building the
electric railroad in South Portland, evil
IDENTIFY regard the approval of the loca-
tion OF their road by the railroad commits
sioners as mere matter of empty form,
for they have been laying their rails in
the public highway and setting up their
poles for several days past, while only
yesterday did they make any application
to the railroad commissioners for ap-
proval of their location. Before hear
ing on their petition can be had several
days at least must elapse and perhaps a
week, and by that time at the present
rate of laying rails, the company will
have nearly the whole of the eastern
section of their route completed, SO that
when the commissioners meet the
question of location will be practically
settled. The law evidently intends that
corporation shall not begin to build
its road until the commissioners have ap-
proved the location, and the laying of
rails before that time is a defiance of the
law, and of the authority of the railroad
commissioners. We presume the explana-
tion that will be made in this case is,
that the company that has been laying
rails is the company organized under the
charter granted by the legislature; while
the company that asks the approval of
its location is the company organized last

An interesting experiment. is to be
made in Philadelphia in the direction of
preaching the gospel by telephone. Per-
haps however it ought not to be styled an
experiment inasmuch as the thing is be-
ing done successfully, it is said, in Eng.
land. Rev. r. H Conwell of Philadel-
phia the pastor of the great Baptist
church there is going to have the honor
shortly of addressing three congregations,
each in a different building, speaking in
person to one and to the two others by
telephone. The music as well as the SER
mon is to be conveyed by telephone. Mr.
Conwell's church organ speaking of the
arrangement says, ''the ordinary listener
never thinks for a moment that any tele-
phones are in the building. All that can
be seen are few metal disks, if you
know where to look for them The
speaker stands as other speakers do, and
puts himself to no Inconvenience what
ever. -

The Bicycle the Proper Thing.

The rapid development of the present
interest in bicyling among people o.
wealth and leisure in America is perhaps
its most striking feature Scarcely yeal
has elapsed since the first woman known
at all in and to the fashionable world OF
New York rode her wheel along the
Boulevard and through Central Park,
and this she did amid all manner of ad-
verse comment from and by her asso-
ciates. A few society men-so called
of an adventurous and athletic turn of
mind rode the weli-remembered "high
wheel" spasmodically for some years,
and some few again essayed the safety
bicycle when it was rst invented. These
too were jeered at by their fellows, and
with few exceptions, soon abandoned a
sport in which they did not find congenial
companionship The society world, which
in this generation had taken up croquet
roller skating, and lawn-tennis in turn
with avidity, and tired of them in sue
cession, watched with languid glances the
bicyclists seen in the streets and met
with in it's drives and rides-was rather
disposed to grumble at them as nuis-
ance, and to silently approve all measures
to restrict their privileges. 1t was for
the most part ignorant of the rapid de-
velopment of the sport, of the capital in
vested in bicycle manufacture, of tourna-
ments, and leagues, and classes. 1t
sneered and laughed at women riders of
the wheel, and was as far away from
even the idea of adopting the wheel itself
a year ago as it was before the invention
of the safety bicycle.
1t was New York physicians wife
who first learned to ride year ago, and
became the pioneer among fashionable
wheel women, and her example and that
of her husband was soon followed by
other well-known Nv York men and
women.-James B townsend, in Scrib-
ner.

The lynching at Danville, Illinois, last
week was as inexcusable as any that
takes place in the South. The culprit
was securely lodged in jail, and there
was not the slightest reason to believe
that the jury would fail to do its duty
when they were put upon their trial. To
be sure one of the lynchers suggested that
Gov. Altgeld would pardon the men if
they were convicted, and sought to JUS
tify the conduct of the mob in that way
but there was little in that. Altgeld
has undoubtedly been unduly lenient to
a certain class of criminals, especially
offenders against property rights, but he
has never shown any tenderness towards
men convicted of the crimes of which
these were accused, nor is there any reas-
on to believe that he ever would The
affair was simply an outburst of popular
fury utterly inexcusable in community
where the laws are regularly enforced as
in Illinois. There was no more justiffca-
tion for it than for the hanging of Ne
groes down South.
