The Illinois Convention.

The call by the democratic state
central committee of Illinois for a
state convention on June 8, is believed
to be, and is in fact admitted to be.
an endeavor to commit the democratic
party OF Illinois to free silver coinage
and begin the campaign of 1896 on
that issue. The entire call, a yery
meager portion OF which was sent out
by the associated press last Saturday.
is worth reading:

phant perhaps was that at Columbus,
Ohio, where the democrats elected
their candidate for mayor and their
entire city ticket by majorities aver
aging about 1000. This is the first
victory achieved by the democrats in
Columbus in several years A notable
feature of the Columbus election was
the participation In the election for
the first time of women, voting for
members OF the school board. The
women candidates were all overwhelm-
ingly defeated. In fact, it is reported,
tnat women as a rule voted for the
male candidates. Another significant
democratic victory is reported In
Bridgeport, Conn, where the demo-
Gratis elected their candidate for mayor
and their entire city ticket last Mon
day. According to press dispatch

strongholds and the democrats made
gains In theirs" ~

June and put themselves on record
for free coinage. 1t would be alto
gether better for the cause of silver in
1895 for one of the two great parties,
preferably the democratic, to commit
itself boldly and irrevocably to free
coinage than for the white metal to
take its chances with the new silver
party. That the Illinois democracy is
for silver there is not a shadow Of a
doubt, and the central committee is to
be commended for calling the June

in New York city, and the physicians
and philosophers of that town are try.
ing to find the cause Of the increase.
Some of the doctors lay it to the grip,
which ragged all the winter with unpre-
cedented fury. Others assert that the
crop of suicides is always very heavy
at this season of the year, fact at
tributable to the depressing effects of
the weather. The statistics show that
in a majority of recent cases of sui
eide death was not sought by reason
OF financial troubles, but rather from
causes or grievances which were fan

The frequency of train robberies of
late has led to the suggestion that
travellers generally should go armed
and that the laws in regard to the
carrying of concealed weapons should
be so modified as to permit them. A
correspondent of the Washington Post
says; "Men who would be capable of
committing such crimes as train rob-
berry would simply laugh at such
enactments, feeling greater security
thereby in the pursuit of their unlaw-
full calling. i, for one. believe that
were such absurd laws removed, or so
modified as to permit citizens to pro-
vide themselves with the means of
self-defense, it would render the busi-
ness of train robbery extremely
hazardous and Improbable to the ac-
tive participants You truly remark
that passengers cannot be expected to
defend themselves or the valuables on
the train on which they may be travel
ing, but it seems to me that out of a
train load of passengers there would
be found at least a dozen or so who. if
provided with the means to do SO.

tremely unhealthy for such law

The Money Question.


To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
see you quote approvngly a part OF
the speech Of Representative Dingley, Of
Maine. in which he suggests that the
nearly 100000 of silver certificates be
reduced to small bills, in ordtr that they
may be kept in constant circulation.
1t seems to me that II would be a better
financial policy to reduce the S3+5. 900 900
OF greenbacks TO bills OF small denomi-
nations. The greenback and the Treasury
note OF 1890 are the medium through
which gold is constantly drawn from the
Treasury. IL these were reduced 10 bills
of small denominations it would be i'm
possible TO hoard any considerable num-
Der Of them, for the banks would be
forced to the alternative OF using the
greenbacks and Treasury notes for every
day business, or their gold. and 1t Is easy
to see which would be used.
When II comes to the issuing or paper
against silver II matters not to the silver
men In what denominations II is Issued
Whatever is required OF actual silver dol
lars will always be used.
That this constant drain OF gold from
the Treasury Is largely a conspiracy on
the part of money-sharks to force a bond
issue Is apparent. Then, 1t seems TO me,
II is good fnanciering TO so arrange our
currency that no part OF 1t can be boarded
for the purpose Of embarrassing the gov
eminent.
Give us free coinage OF silver, with the
option of taking silver certificates OF large
denominations; make all import duties
payable in gold, and reduce greenbacks
and Treasury notes 10 bills of small de-
nomination, and have no other small bills
but these. and l have no fear that the
government will b. pressed for gold. and
our overburdened farming industry will
receive a great impetus.
Respectfully. +. NJ. CLEVENGER.
