FADING AWAY.

The free silver craze is rapidly
fading away, and when the National
Democratic Convention assemblies it
Will cut as little Importance as the old
grcenback frenzy of twenty years ago.
The Philadelphia Record of the 18th
instant, says.
The Memphis Conference was a
clear revelation of the weakness of
the free silver movement; but it was
reserved for the sO-Callcd national
convention Of silver Democrats held
in Washington yesterday to demon
strate the rapidity with which the
silver will'o-the-wisp is fading from
the political view. The gathering in-
cluded but q single representative
from the East, while number of
prominent SilveriteS Of the South and
West, who had signed the call, were
conspicuous by their abscnce-an evil
dcnce of sober second thought which
is certainly being entertained by the
rank and iilG,Gf Tie Dem lcratic party.
Altogether there were eighty-ffvc SO.
called representative Of twenty-five
States in attendance.
The free silver contingent has evil
IDENTIFY got together az this time with
the idea OF setting up IN business for
the campaign of '96. The question
suggested by its dwindling show of
strength Is: "Where is it going to
find the business to do ?" The fact of
the matter Is the masses of the Demo-
cratic party are not backing up the
free coinage idea. This is a clear
and unmistakable fact. The Demo-
cratic party is for sound money.
In the same line the very intelligent
correspondent OF the Louisville Post,
who was present at the recent free
silver conference in Washington, says
of it:
The attendance at the silver con-
vention to-day is so ridiculously small
that the few who are here are put to
desperate excuses to account for the
tiasco. Less than fifty delegates were
on hand when the meeting was called
to order, but crowd Of outsider $
made the attendance seem slightly
larger. Kentucky, so far as can be
asccrtained, is as yet entirely unrep-
resented, and all told, not fifteen
States have delegates here.
Those that are here are claiming
that the attendance is all they ex-
pected, as the intention was to get
but a few of the Democratic leaders
who favor free silver together, but
their looks belle their words. No one
seems to know exactly what he is here
for, except in some indefinite way to
organize free silver sentiment within
the ranks Of the party. Senator
Harris, GcDeralissimO of the confer
cnce, declared the purpose was to
secure the adoption OF free silver
plank in the national convention next
year.
II know what we'll do,n he replied
irritahly, "but damned IL tell the
newspapers
That Is all the satisfaction that can
be obtained. II there had been any
doubt before that free silver was
ready for burial, single glance at the
gloomy and funeral gathering here
to-day would set 1t at rest. Its pure
farce comedy.

she was prosecuting his canvass for
the Office Of Secretary of State during

for me say to the men and women OF

A BERLIN despatch announces that q
German diplomat and close friend to
Prince Bismarck says preparations are
being actively made for the opening OF
hostilities between Russia and Japan,
and that in his opinion secret treaty
of alliance has been made between Great
Britain and japan. In that event the
war would assume magnitude appall-
ing to contemplate. France would take
sides with Russia, ind Germany most
probably, along with Italy and Austria,
would aid Great Britain. Germany was

years, with an additional cost ell told
of certainty not more than $40 per acre,
the Pennsylvanisns have been able to
bring the soil up to about the same pro-
ducing point reached by the high
priced lands disposed of in the Keystone
State. They shave also saved neat
surplus for rainy day besides.
All shrough the northern counties OF
Virginia there are vast tracts of just
such lands that need clearing, and If
placed in proper hands can be brought
up. The Pennsylvsnians who have
gone into the State find the climate
more to their liking. They know how
to farm. Many OF them have been uaed
to cultivate hillsides full of rockg, and
80 thickly settled are the portions Of
Pennsylvanis whence they came that
they find it easy to reclaim the scrub
timber lands of Virginia, and in few
years get them into splendid shape.
Some of the incest looking farms
along the Southern railway, that for
merly were wastes, have been improved
by these people, and the news Is that
others are coming. They can take hold
of neglected spots III the counties III

take up their residences in Virginia. In
addition to the better climate, they
would be close enough to the Washing

VERY DESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS.

Notwithstanding the fact that com.
paratively little effort has been made
in this State to promote immigration,
there is already STEADY inflow OF set
tiers here from the North and North
west, who are buying homes and max.
ing themselves comfortable in q wey
that promises the most beneficial re-
suits to them and to the State. The
Washington correspondent of the Rich
mond Dispatch makes the following in :
teresting comments on this subject:
A Virginian who was in the city to-,
day said that 1t was not generally
known, but 1t is fact that great many
Pennsylvania farmers are moving into
the northern part OF Virginia and pur-
chasing lands. The information given
about these new settlers is very inter.
esting. 1t is said they have sold lands
they owned in Pennsylvania for az
much as 875 and even $50 and 500 per
acre. and with the money they have
come into Virginia and bought what
are known aa scrub timber lands for ss
low price as $40 per acre.
The lands have been cleared up, q

THE recent festivities at Kiel, in

national feeling, the German govern

gloss over the situation with unmeaning
