LITTLE good is likely to result to the
United States from an international con-
ference on the subject of silver coinage.
When it is considered that the European
gold standard countries would be greatly
in the majority, 1t must be apparent
that any agreement which might be
reached would undoubtedly be greatly
to our disadvantage. The bimetallic
movement in Europe has been started by
fear that the United States was about to
remonetize silver at the old ratio and it
is hoped in this way to delay the matter
and when 1t can be delayed no longer to
force a ratio based on the present differ
encs in the bullion price of the tV o
metals. 1t is neither necessary nor good
policy that We should wait for the sane
ton of any other nation to do what is
right With bimetallic currency in the
United States we should be vastly better
off if Europe continued to maintain the
single gold standard SO long as we sell
more than we buy.

WASHINGTON. March "A case now
being tried in the criminal court in
which @. n. J. Taylor. the colored re-
corder of deeds for the District of Column
bia, charges VIM. Calvin Chase, the edi-
tor of the Bee weekly publication read
by the colored population of this city,
with criminal libel, has brought out con-
siderable sensational testimony. There
was published in the Bee of January
an article charging Taylor with gross
misuse of the appointment power
attached to his office, with
collecting political assessments from the
colored men of the District employed by
the government and with personal i'm
morality and improper relations with
some of the female employees of his Office
Taylor had Chase arrested for criminal
libel, and the case now being tried is the
result Two women formerly employed
in the recorders Office have testified that
Taylor made improper proposals to them,
and that their refusal of his demands was
followed by dismissal The government
on cross examination brought out testi-
mony tending to impeach the character
of several of the witnesses produced by
the defense.

lands, and the consent of congress must
be obtained before the present Hawaiian
government may permit Great Britain
to land her proposed cable.
The Hawaiian republic, it is said,
prefers to have the proposed cable built
by the United States, but will naturally
hail with joy any cable that comes its
way. The British project includes ca
BILE crossing the entire Pacific. distance
Of 7,S40 miles from Vancouver to Ha-
waii, and from Hawaii to Auckland,
connecting at Auckland with the cable
that runs to Australia, or from Hawaii
direct to Australia.
Not long ago the United States senate
tackled to the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill an item of $500, 900
for preliminary work on cable to Ha-
waii, but this item was rejected by the
house of representatives, and for the
present at least the cable is deferred.
Ocean cable laying costs about 81, 200 a
mile, and the estimated cost of cable
2, lot miles long, from San Francisco
to Honolulu, is So, 900, 900.
When Cyrus W. Field imm ortalized
himself on July 81, 1866, by complet-
ing the first successful oceanic cable at
enormous expense, the wondering world
little thought that in % years there
would be 10 cables laid across the At
lantic. Four of them were failures, and
some of the others are little used, the
companies owning them having laid du-
plicate lines with more satisfactory re-
suits. Of the 8 now in use the Anglo
American Telegraph company operates
five-four from Valentia. Ireland, to
Hearts Content, Newfoundland, and an
other from Minou, near Brest. France,
to the island of St. Pierre, south of
Newfoundland. The Commercial Cable
company has three transatlantic cables

A CABLE TO HAWAII.
1T WILL BE THE FIRST STEP TOWARD
SPANNING THE PACIFIC.

The Expense Estimated at About 90, OOO,-
OOO-Hundreds of Ocean Cables Through
out the World and Nineteen Across the
Atlantic.
There are 19 transatlantic cables, but
the broad bosom of the Pacific is as yet
unspanned. The recent exciting events
in Hawaii, however, have stimulated
interest in the long talked of project of
a cable from San Francisco or Vancou-
yer to Hawaii, and if one of these prof.
ects is carried out it will doubtless be
but short time before the line will be
extended to Japan or to New Zealand.
The new republic of Hawaii is natu-
rally very anxious to be in closer connec-
ton with the world, and Great Britain
and the United States are both consid-
eriQg the advisability or otherwise of
expanding the necessary So, 900, 900 and
connecting Hawaii with the continent
of North America Great Britain has
already asked the republic of Hawaii for
permission to land its proposed cable
from Vancouver on one of the Hawaiian
islands, and the republic has petitioned
the United States government for leave
to grant the request. Hawaii is not I'M
der the wing of the United States, but

elusive right to build cable to the is

TIE movement inaugurated by few
Democrats in congress to force free sill
yer plank into their party platform next
year is probably intended to pave the
way to a valid excuse for leaving the
party. They must know that there is
scarcely shadow of chance for any
thing like that to happen. But if by
any combination of circumstances such
an event should occur it wouldn't mean
anything. The Democratic party was
never known to keep promise made to
the people, and, moreover, it hasn't the
ghost of q show to carry the country
next year.

THE bill of Senator Cooke providing
for the loGning of the school fund is
worthy of more consideration than has
probably been given it The system has
been tried In Oregon with very satisfac-
tory results. It might be better for the
people to borrow their own money and
pay the interest into their own treasury
than to perform the same transactions
with people outside the state. When the
commission buys bonds with the school
fund it has no security but land values
and the product of the soil for interest
or principal. There could be little diff
ference between dealing with a commu-
nifty individually or collectively.
