in which case the party would have lost every northern state east of the Missouri river, together with Delaware, Mary land and West Virginia, and very likely Kentucky also. In states tbev could be sure of since the 1e- to-1 madness will not bear discussion through a campaign where it is the chief issue. as the event in Kentucky proves.
 In aseribing to Mir. Cleveland the fore most place, we do not overlook the serv- ices of MT. Carlisle, MT. Patterson and other able and zealous workers. They have fought a glorious battle, and are entitled to second place, but the battle would not have been fought at all but for MT. Cleveland. We should have gone to silver monometallism two years ago but for him, and we should have wal lowed in that fnire until we had learned. by dear-bought experience, that a depre- cfated arfd fuctuating currency is never anything but curse, and most of all a curse to the poor. It was MT. Cleveland's initiative in calling congress together in 1885 that made 1t possible to repeal the sherman act. It was his determination that brought the democratic senators''up to the scratch" It was his rejection of compromises that compelled the taking of vote on the naked question of repeal. without which we should be in condi- ton very different from the one we are now in, and far less satisfactory.
 The immediate consequende of Mir Cleveland's triumph in Kentucky will be subsistence of the silver craze in Texas. in Missouri in North Carolina. and prob ably in all the states. Convalescenee will proceed rapidly, and it will not be restricted to the democratic party. The republicans will get some of the bene- fit. We shall soon discover an improved tone among their leaders Harrison. Reed and Mckinley will all find it much easier to talk than it was a little while ago, and such newspapers as the Tribune Will be much bolder than they were These things, too, will be trophies in MT Cleveland's wfgwam-scalps in his belt, so to speak. That he may live long to wear them is the earnest wish of the sober-minded American people,

KILLED BY ITS FRIENDS.

The issue sought to be raised by the ad- .vocates of free silver for the purpose of forestalling public opinion before the country at large was prepared to accept and properly consider it seems destined to the fate that usually befalls snap Judgment methods. Senator Hill affords a most striking example of how that kind of business works. but free silver re- ceived no less blow from the Kentucky convention than did Senator Hill's pres idential prospects at the hands of the anti-snappers of New York as a rebuke to the effort of his friends to prematurely foist him as a presidential candidate lspon the Democracy of the country.
 The trend of independent and conserv- ative pubic opinion is that free silver is far less of an impending issue in the na- tional campaign of 1896 than it was be- fore the meeting of the Kentucky con- yention.
 The Chicago Times-Herald has this to say of it: "For the second time in Amer ican political history border Southern State has stayed the tide of political heresy and given time for reflection and reconsideration of the issues involved" The growth of the old Know Nothing party is then referred to. and it is shown that the free silver craze was really of small dimensions, as compared to that issue. which threatened to sweep as a desolating whirlwind over the entire country and place the government it. self within its grasp. But the tide was met in Virginia in 1855 in the gubernato- rial race between Henry A. Wise and Thomaes A. Flournoy. the latter being on the Know Nothing platform. After one of the most memorable campaigns perhaps that ever occurred in that grand old Commonwealth Wise was successful and Know Nottingham dropped out of politics speedily thereafter. So it is be- lleved will be the fate of free silver the Kentucky convention serving to practi- cally eliminate 1t from the possibility of national issue of any force. The people are given time for reflection. and there is no longer any danger from this wild and visionary financial scheme. The Chica- go Tilnes-Herald has this closing pro- phctlc declaration: Tt is curious his-

INDUSTRIAL,

MT. John J. Moore left yesterday at noon over the Louisville and Nashville read for Chicago on a business trip. MT. Moore stated to an Age Herald re- porter who saw him at the depot that another one of the Sheffield furnaces would go in blast just as soon as a sup ply of coke could be secured. Everything is in readiness for blowing in, the fur mace has been repaired and is now in first-class condition. He said it was probable that still another furnace would be put in operation by fall. thus making three in all and leaving only two idle.
 The great trouble, he said. was in getting coke. a supply of that necessary item not now being available. He said, however, that it was likely that the coke ovens at Jasper, from which the Sheffield furnaces formerly obtained a. portion of their coke, would be fired up soon. Ne Gotiations to that effect he said are now pending, and will probably be perfected in very short time

MT. Cleve,and,s Triumph.
New York Evening Post.


 When the last democratic congress ad- iourned. on March 4, after ilouting and insulting President Cleveland In every possible way, if any prophet had said that within four months conVen- tion of his party in Kentucky, chosen on the very issue of ratifying or rejecting his financial policy, would give him the most enthusiastic indorsement by more than a two-thirds majority, such seer would have been called mad. That Is the wonderful thing that has happened. It is not the only event of the kind in MT. Clevelands career. On the contrary, it is the recurrence of such events that makes his present triumph more impress sive, showing, as 1t does, that the people are faithful to leaderrs who have once gained their confidence by an uncompro- missing adherence to the truth through evil as well as good report.
 This victory in Kentucky smashes the silverites in both parties, and they know it. MT. Cleveland more than any other man has done this. By his courage and fortitude he has not merely snuffed out a let of pestilent demagogues in his own party, such as Blackburn. Bland, Voor- hees, Morgan and Altgeld, but he has dwarfed into relative insgnificance lot of weak-kneed trmmers and traders in the republican party whose names will readily suggest themselves to the gener- al rec CT. Furthermore. he has done what tn most people, three months ago, was incredlble-hc has made demo- cratic victory next year possible He has done this by turning the party about face" preventing it from walking over a precipice for which it was plainly headed. Nothing seemed more likely, prior to the holding of the Memphis con vention, than that the whole south woull go with mad rush for silver at 16 to l.

Another Side.
To the Age-Herald:


 Whatever the benefit may be to the Birmingham district in the matter of an advance of cents per ton to the miners and a corresponding one to other>labor, and also advances of SAYS per ton in the prices of pig iron, the increase in price from $1.60 to $40 per 100 pounds made by the rolling mills is certainly a very unjust discrimination against manu- featuring interests here, and demon- strates that they are not anxious to fos- ter manufacturing here. It would hard ly be supposed that after being relieved of slight incubus of city taxation that the beneficiary would endeavor to op- press other manufacturing in this dis trict. But with a mere advance of $2.75 per ton in pig iron and the small ad- vance in coal, etc, it certainly looks as though S4 per ton would be a large ad- vance, and which is said to be the az gregate amount of the advances in Ohio Indiana, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

REspncr OF CRIMINALS.

It seems natural that criminals sen tenced to the penitentary would, after serving their sentence, take their revenge on the judge jury or solicitor, but such attempts are very rare. Judge Field was assaulted out West by man whom he had sentenced and who was shot down by the detective who protected the judge, and the affair gained wide celebrity be- cause of the rarity of such cases. As rule the condemned criminal harbors no malice against the legal officials. If he is innocent, however, and is punished for a crime that he did not commit, then he feels revengeful; but it is not often that an innocent man is punished. The criminal who knows he is guilty feels grateful that his sentence is not greater. His conscience has already convicted him before his trial in court. He feels under obligations to the court for not hanging him, and is taught to respect the law by the very severity of his pun ishment.
 The wretch who feels the halter draw,
 Feeis at heart respect for law.
 The boy who gets a sound thrashing when he has done wrong has profound respect for paternal authority. The ne- gro criminals, especially, almost rever- ence the court They think the "jedge and serliciter" are Digger men than old Grant" The negro. by the way, has good many boyish traits, and respect for power is one of them.

 The following are the authors con cluSions:
 l. The earliest cowpea. and hence the variety best adapted to high lattudes, is the New Era. This natures in a little more than sixty days from the time of planting. Other very early varieties are: Congo, White Giant, Chocolate and Vacuum. g. The heaviest yielder of vines is Red Ripper, followed closely by Forage or shinny Black and Unknown. S The heaviest producers Of peas are Unknown. Calico, Clay and White Brown Hull.
 f. The yield of peas, as a rule. though not invariably, parallels the yield of vines.
 5. For hay, the erect varieties are pref erable to those of a recumbent habit, since the mower cuts them all. The best of the erect varieties are the Unknown Clay and Whippoorwill. 6. Where a dense mass of vines is wanted to remain all winter on the ground, Calico, Gourd, Black and Con stitution are preferable. z. The best table peas are Sugar Crowder, White Crowder, Mush Large Lady. Small Lady and Rice S. The best stock pea for field grazing of either cattle or hogs is the Black It will remain in the ground all winter without injury. Everlasting, Red and Red Ripper are also good. g. For an ''all purpose" pea the Un- known leads the list. Clay however closely contests first place. Unknown and Wonderful are identical. Neither the germinating power nor the subsequent growth was lessened by dis coloration of the peas used as seed.

Is it possible that when the contract with the bond syndicate expires there will be d raid on the gold reserve in the treasury. If the agitation for free silver is kept up the raid is not only possible, but probable. and another issue of bonds will become necessary. But the proba- bilty is that the free silver agitation will subside, and then the export of grain in the fall will turn the yellow stream in this direction.
