LIGHT AHEAD.

Judging from the conference Of sill
yer men in Chicago a few days ago it
would look as if the different silver
organizations would soon be cOnsol
idated under one head and all work
ing from one national headquarters
with Gen. A. J. Warner, The MODEST
Roman of them all" in charge. This
is the most practical move made By
the friends of silver during the past
year. This will soon separate the
wheat from the chaff and will line the
friends Of bimetallism IN n side
and the gold standard on the other.
Mr.. Bartine and Major Dennis will
now have an opportunity to vote for
clean cut friends Of silver in 1886 and
we will wait with much curiosity to
see how they will avoid doing so. 1t
will place Mr.. Bartine in rather a ecu
liar position to fight in Chicago pro-
viding he accepts the position there
he was booked for when in Nevad",
under the leadership of General
w dFIcT anu LOT IL line OF DdJ'Ie Ud-
fionally similar to the one laid down
by the Silver party Of Nevada in
1882, which Mr.. Bartine has publicly
condemned as a great calamity" to
the cause OF s~ilver's RECOMMENDATION.
Many old party politicians, who claim
to be silver men, but who only use
the question for a cloak to gull the
voters, have done their best to weaken
the silver forces by keeping the
friends of the question cooped up in
their respective parties with no op.
portunity to express their views plainly
at the polls, but without avail. Every
friend of the white metal will now nc
doubt have a chance to vote directly
upon the free coinage of it, and for E
man for president who stands upor
a platform advocating the same. Nov
who says that the independent move
which originated here in Nevada ha:
not borne fruit?

Work 6f the General Convention IN
Minneapolis.
Minneapolis. Oct. 5.-The trIennial
convention of the Episcopal church Is
now well under way. The work of the
house Of bishops was largely of
routine nature today, but In one par
tlcular. at least. the house turned from
the discussion of ordinary matters.
The reverend bishops did thing that
was not even suggested In the house
Of deputies. They adopted a resolu.
tion cOmmending the governor and leg
islature Of Texas for their actioa In
preventing the COrl'ett-Fitzsimmons
prize fight.
The bishops expressed themselves as
hcing highly gratified with the ap-
pt,intrDrnt at Isisllop Donnc to the
charge of the foreign churches.
Tho argumentative temper of tie
house Of deputies was evinced today
In lengthy debate upon the mucl-
mootcd report of the commi,,ee OH re-.
vision. Beyond few inconsequential
verbal changes, however, nothing was
accomplished. A joint session Will,
the house OF bishops, while receiving
the Canadian guests of honor. was a
pleasant diversion from the heat Of
debate, which was thereby interrupted
A very pleasant little controversy
arose In the house this morning re-
gardlng the wording Of the invitation
to the delegation FROM the sync.l OF
Canada to meet the convention. The
resolution Of invitation contained tho
words 'thc American church" 1t was
moved to strike out these words and
insert the Protestant Episcopal
church of the United States" 1t was
explained that this amendment meant
no insidious theological differences. but
1t took n division vote to show that
the adherents Of the American church
were overwhelmingly In the ma ajority.
