SILVER Populists a Ealslsh.

A special TO q New York daily paper
says Of the silver convention held at
Raleigh, n. c., on Sept %: About 300
delegates in all attended, and five
sixths, it is estimated, were POpulists.
Resolutions were offered greeting all the
silver men in the country and declaring
that the only way to put an end to the
evils of monometallism is &c open the
minis Of the country to the free and IN
limited coinage Of silver. The conyen-
ton also called on silver men in other
states to hold similar conventions.
a part of tho resolutions which caus-
ed most opposition from the Democrats
was as follows:
To this end we earnestly recommend TO the
voters that hereafter they elect only such sen
ators and representatives in congress as are
sincerely in favor CT the principles hereinbe-
fore expressed and only such PIE identi2l elect
ors as VIII publicly declare On The stump that

A NEW SEWAGE SUGGESTION

Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson, in
an article contributed to the current
number of Longman's Magazine, deals
with Past and Ideal Sanitation, in
a novel and suggestive manner, and
in way that is calculated, says the
st. Paul Dispatch, to arrest the atten-
tion OF all public authorities who are
cropping their way to final and salts
factory results. The disposition of
house sewage in cities is becoming
the most perplexiDg and difficult
problem, as these cities grow 10 eX-
tent, and it is now recognized that
former methods have not only become
impracticable, but are actually waste
full. He suggests an ideal method
that has the recommendation of nov
city, at least. 1t is to utilize the
levels of the great railway grades for
the laying of pipe lines, so as to carry
the sewage in solution far into the
country, where it may be utilized for
fertllizing purposes. The idea itself
has been suggested by the great,
modern scientific successes in piping
petroleum and natural gas hundreds
of miles underground to refneIies. or
where they can be fully utilized. 1t
will be long before practical char
acter will be given to this suggestion
in this country, but as it was made to
British municipal authorities before
any publication was given it, it is
undergoing actual investigation, and
will most likely be given a practical
test in England before it engages any
very serious thought in the cities of
the United States. One thing is very
certain, and that is, that present
American methods are exceedingly
Wasteful in more senses than one, and
while experiments already made to
utilize solvent sewage as a fertilizer,
have been comparative failures, the
last word has hardly been said in that
respect. The suggestions of Sir Ben
jamin will reopen that question along
entirely new lines.

finish, as had been planned. A good
many of the spectators were disap-
pointed. In the line were many very
handsomely decorated wheels, OF
which Mr. Johnson's, of the Model,
was probably the most original. Some
of the riders carried fish poles lined
with lanterns, and others had many
lanterns prettily arranged. Mr.. Green
had his little child in front on his
wheel, snugly seated under a bower of
various shaped lanterns. The crimson
rims of the racers were conspicuous.
The parade made very pretty sight
and was much admired. The Con-
cordia band furnished the music. A
large transparency wagon advertising
the races today caught fire from the
red light within and the sides were
burned.
The parade disbanded at G. d. Tay-
lor's, where a lawn fete was being
held, and the lanterns were taken by
young Misses and hung upon the trees.
The band was also present, and the
sight was very pretty one.
The ladies of the Episcopal church
had charge of the fete, and served all
with ice cream or sherbut and cake,
while pretty little maids disposed of
many bouquets. The grounds were
made brilliant with arc lights. The
affair was financially as well as socially
a success.

ILLUMINATED PARADE.
Nearly $50 Wheels in Line Last
Night,

The Illuminated and decorated
parade last night was success, and
drew several thousand people out up
on the streets. Nearly $50 wheelmen,
it is estimated, were in line, and had
the start not been made so promptly,
there would have been more in line.
The supply of Japanese lanterns be-
came exhausted and from fifty to 100
wheelmen were thus prevented from
joining the parade. 1t was first come
first served, and the boys were gener-
ally the first on hand and they were
very much in evidence in the parade.
Messrs. Martin and MuZZy had
deliberately decorated their wheels,
but the parade started too soon for
them to join it. The line of march as
advertised was not adhered to-, and as
a result the red fire on Front street
was burned on the start and not the

IT is said that Chinese soldiers who
were detailed to guard and protect
foreign missions, joined the mob in
the outrages which were perpetrated.
If this report should prove correct, it
might be good thing for the nations
whose citizens are being mObbed and
killed, to impress China that such
treatment will not longer be tolerated
and that if she cannot protect life and
property within her borders other
means must be taken SO to do.

rlcKlNLEY AND SILVER.

Some of the political enemies OF
Gov. Mckinley have been trying to
make out that he was opposed to sill
yer from any point OF view, while var
ious Democratic papers have lately
asserted that he was afraid to speak
upon the financial question and have
declared that he had no views upon
the subject and was waiting to see
which way things were going to turn
! so as to be able to step in with the
crowd. But such course would not
be in keeping with the character of
the man, as exhibited in connection
with other great questions with which
he has had to deal during his public
life, and especially with the sturdy
defense he has made in behalf of
American industries.
The Boston Journal has been led to
look into his public record upon the
financial question and finds it to be
distinctively in favor of sound money.
1t recalls the fact that in the Ohio
gubernatorial campaign Of 1891, the
Democrats declared squarely for free
coinage of silver, as well as free trade
and that the Republicans boldly met
the two issues with a most explicit
declaration, and Gov. Mckinley most
ably upheld the Republican position,
nf the
Democratic party to foster upon the
people what he termed a short dollar
for full one. 1t also quotes the fol-
lowing from his open address of the
campaign at Niles on the 22d of
August Of that year:
81 am in favor of the double stand
ard, but am not in favor Of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver in the
United States until the nations of
the world shall join in guaranteeing
to silver a status which their laws
now accord to gold. The double
standard implies equality at a ratio,
and that equality can only be estab-
lished by the concurrent law Of ma
tions. 1t was the concurrent law of
nations that has made the double
standard; it will require the concur
rent law of nations to reinState and
sustain it. Until then, for us to de-
cree the free and unlimited coinage
of the worlds silver would be to Or
dain that our silver dollars must sure
ly depreciate, and gold inevitably go
to premium. No man knows what
the future may be, but in our present
light every consideration of safety re-
quires US to hold to our present status
until the other great nations shall
agree to an international ratio"
This is sound doctrine, and the
Journal says that these are the views
of the governor today, and there is
every reason to believe, from what
expressions have dropped from his
lips from time to time that this is so,
and the public in general will accept
it as his view Of the matter until he
publicly repudiates it.
There is probably no question but
that all the great Republican leaders,
like Gov. Mckinley, stand strictly in
accord with the Republican principles
of finance as defined at Minneapolis
in 1892 and which will govern the
party in the future as in the past.

plant was first made that the House bill
did not provide for a distinctive gold
bond, but that would not do, for the act
of 1875, TO which the President must re-
sort in case Congress passed. no act pro-
vidcd for nothing but Coin bonds. A
thicker disguise than that must be pro-
vided. After some searching it was found
in the provision Of the bill which forbids
the Secretary to use the proceeds OF the
bonds to meet current expenses. The use
of the proceeds of the bonds issued un-
der the act of 1875 for that purpose was
questionable, but the Secretary had SO
used them, and under the act before the
House such use would be impossible.
! This was a good enough plsetext for the
"cuckoos, - the President dou btless
thought and so Mr.. Carlisle had himself
interviewed by newspaper and thus
brought to the attention of the ''cucloos"
the fact that the President did not wish
the bill passed, and furnished them a
tolerably plausible excuse for voting
against it. 1t turned out, however, that
the President had exaggerated the

then the end of the massacres is near al

it appeared that the Sultan would do
nothing to suppress the massacres in
Armenia. either from inability or indis-
position, that the only way to stop them
was to allow Russia to march in with
her troops. Demonstrations before Con-
stantinople were as useless as demonstra-
tions before Paris or Vienna would have
been. But John Bull was fearful if
Russia once get in she would never get
out, and SO he refused to assent to the
only programme which contained any

THE DEMOCRATS AND THE BOND
BILL.

The silver Democrats of the House were
expected to vote against the bond bill.
Their opposition was perfectly consistent.
They want to force the government on
TO silver basis, and of course could not
be expected to favor measure intended
to keep the government on gold basis.
They may be misguided. but their action
in this case had the merits of intelligs nce
and ghtforwardness But what shall
be said of the Swing of this Democrats
which claims to be in favor of sound
money? Everyone Of them, as well as
every silver Democrat, voted against the
bond bill. And for what reason? Simply
because the President told them to- When
Mr.. Cleveland sent to Congress his finan-
cial message he was apparently thorough
~ frightened by the rumpus he had
kicked up with his Venezuelan message,
and somewhat hysterical in consequence
The need of relief was SC great that
he wanted Congress to forego its Christ
mas holiday to pass O measure for the SUD-
port of the treasury. Congress complied
and the House expedtiously passed two
measures. Meanwhile however, Mr.
Cleveland recovered from his fright, and
went to playing politics again. He
thought apparently there would be enough
detection among the ssilver Republicans
to defeat any bond bill az all if the vote
Of the Democrats could be thrown solidly
against the measure. The silver Demo-
Gratis would vote that way of course, but
the sound money, or the cuckoo" Dem
ocrats, could not vote with them without
being guilty of the most glazing inconsis-
tency. Some disguise to cloak their in
consistency must be provided, and SO the
President and his financial clerk, Mr.
Carlisle. proceeded to provide it. Com
