MR. CARL1sLE's PROPOSITIONS.

Secretary Carlisle is vigorously sound
Ing the sound money cry in Kentucky
In his speech at Bowling Green last
night he said there were FIVE PROPOSE
lions In regard to free coinage, which
could not be controverted, as follows:
First there Ia not free coinage
country in the world to- day that Is not
on silver basis; second, there ia not q
geld standard country In the world that
does not use silver money along with
gold; third. there Is not silver stand
ard country in the world that uses any
gold as money with silver; fourth, there
Is not silver standard country in the
world to-day that has more than one
third OF the circulation per capi5a, that
the United States has; fifth, there Ia
not silver standard country in the
world to-day whore the laboring man
receives fair..pay for his days work.
Another point raised was that be-
fore free coinage of silver could be
broughs about another Congress
and another president favorable to IA
would have to be elected. This he said
would certainly take three years, and
before that time every creditor in the
country seeing what WAS coming would
take stringent measures for the collec-
sion OF his claims. These points will
have to be answered by his opponents,
and the people of the South as unbiased
listeners will hear both sides befora
awarding their verdict.

SENATOR pL,.cNpusN's REPLY.


The silver war Is we'll ON in Kentucky.
The battle whichswas commenced at
Covington by Mr.. Carlisle Is raging
heroely. Senator Blackburn spoke at
Lawrenceburg in that State yesterday
in reply to him, but from the tenor of
his remarks. as reported, he was more
anxious to succeed himself as Senator
than to appear as the special champion
of silver. Following are some extracts
from his speech.
"They were not satisfied to let Mr..
McCresry, Mr.. Buckner. Mr.. Brown and
myself fight this battle on Its merits.
but they imported q man who is greater
than John the Baptist. to drive back
this silver craze, ss they call 1t. Now.
understand that what am going to say
about Mr.. Carlisle will be Baid In she
kindest terms. do not mean to COM,
plain Of Mr.. Carlisle for coming here to
his own State to speak, for he has the
right 70 come. But no matter how he
came or who he is, have the right to
answer him, and that Is what { am
going to do.
"Carlisle said in Covington thht he
hsd never been for free silver. IL the
speech he made in 1878 wss not J. free
silver speech. what was 1t? He leh this
speech 90 for seventeen years without
saying anything against it. NoW he
comes out and says it was not silver
speech. On the 18th day Of November,
1878, Mr.. Carlisle. while Sitting by my
side in'the House. OF Representa- lives,
voted for the Bland bill, which was
silver bill out and out. Only Ave years
ago the Sherman bill passed. voted
against that bill, so did Carlisle, yet he
is making the same old speech that
Sherman made then.
FIRST, he makes the assertion that
If you have free coinsge of silver you
will put the country on silver basis,
and would drive gold out. This is not
true. We have tried 1t once and when
we quit we had three more dollars to
one in gold than when we begun
He says this country would be the
dumping grounds for all silver bullion.
He ts of there, for ours Is the only ma.
tion under the sun that has silver bull
lion"
The speaker went on, in his own way,
to answer every point of the Carlisle
speech, and then jumped on the admin
istration, saying: 81 am greatly handi-
capped, but let Messrs. Cleveland, Car
Isle and all the rest take the stump,
and will still win this race in spite OF
the whole combination"

SENATOR HILL with his usual political
adroitness Is still in the lead as the
most available man for the Democratic
nomination for President. In his speech
before the Democratic editors of the
Empire State on Friday night ne de-
clared that he was q bimetallist, but
did not say he was in favor of the free
coinage OF silver at ratio of 16 to /,
1t would thus appear that his platform
financially ia at present broad enough
to hold Speaker Crisp, Senator Black
burn and others Of the silYerites, with
fairly good standing room for President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle, as the
two latter are not regarded as opposed
to silver provided It's parity with gold
could be maintained. The Senator may
find, however, as the time for the Press
idential nomination draws near that the
lines on the silver question will be too
closely drawn for vague platitudes and
gltttering generalisies.

AN ImPoRTANY DRCIsIoN.

The recent decision of Judge Kicks
Of the United States court. at Cleveland
Ohio. in the case OF the German-Amer-
lean Investment Company, OF New
York. against the city of Youngstown.
Ohio. Is very Important one. az it
establishes g precedent, and indirectly
affects millions OF dollars worth Of mu-
nieipal bonds. Issued on the authority
OF special legislation and not authorized
by popular vote Of the people living
In the town or city by which the bonds
are issued.
In the case above mentioned the In
vestment Company was the highest
bidder for 1886. 600 worth of water bonds,
authorized by the city administration of
youngstown, and afterwards approved
BY special act Of the legislature OF
Ohio. Later the Investment Company
refused TO accept the bonds, on the
ground that they were not authorized
by two.thirds vote Of the citizens of
youngstown, as required by the statutes
OF Ohio. The case was taken into court
by the Investment Company, suing the
city to recover $4,000, deposited as
bond.
The court decided in favor of the In.
vestment Company and held that the
city had not met with the requirements
of the constitution, and that the Ohio
general assembly in passing an act Civ
ing Youngstown authority to issue
bonds, had violated that part Of the con.
stitutton which says the general Assem-.
bly, shall pass no special act comforting
corporate powers. Bonds issued with
outatwo thirds vote Of the people were
therefore prac tically declared to be
worthless. 1t is said that millions of
dollars worth of bonds which have been
Issued by various towns and cities
throughout Ohio, will be Immediately
affected by this decision.

THERE is no accounting for tastes, as
the recent marriage OF United States
consul in Tahiti to dusky ued
damsel shows. The consul's name is
Jacob Doty, and he Is q resident of
New York. The girl is only sixteen
years old. The marriage ceremony
was not performed by missionary, but
after the native fashion. The happy
groom has many influential friends in
Washington. His brother Is an Episco-
pal clergyman in that city, and his
mother is close friend OF Ambassador
Bayard. He might. in view of all these
things. and the fact that he is an
American citizsn. have at least con-
formed to the usages of the Christian
church in regard to the marriage cere-
mony.

sUsTAINs GOVERNOR o'FERRALL
A Rookland, Maine, Editors Opinion
His Action,

A Rockland, Maine, Editors Opinion of
His Action.
Mr.. Edward II. Kelley, formerly
editor of THE ROANOKE TIMES, ia now
editor Of the Rockland (Maine) Daily
Star. He says the following. editorially,
OF Governor O'Fsrrsll's position in the
strike:
ut very often happens that public
Official renders himself so obnoxious to
his constituents that their Indignation
leads them to assume q very uncompli~
mentary attitude towards the offending
party. Just atpresent Governor Charles
L. O'Ferrall ia sort OF persona non
Rrata to certain residents of the Old
Dominion. The news comes to us that
last Friday the miners In the Pocahontas
region OF Virginia hanged Governor
OFerrsll in effigy and placsrded the
figure representing the executive with
insulting inscriptions.
There ia q strike on in that section
| and the governor has been showing the
strong arm OF the law by ordering sew
eral companies Of the State militia &c
the scene of the trouble to prevent an
outbreak. The presence OF the troops
| is objec tionable. hence the indignation
as expressed by the above action
"Aa matter Of fact, Governor OFFER.
rails action Is what might be expected
OF we'll meaning executive. However
offish Governor O'Ferrsll may be about
entertaining negro Legislators from
Massachusetts, he Is q man who belle YES
in UNFOLDING the law, and this he is
doing in the present case. There seems
| to be no excuse for this uncomplimen-
tsry expression of opinion against the
| governor by the Virginia miners"
