ing extract from the testimony OF NJ. c.
Baron Alphonse de Rothschild, when ex-
amined as an expert before the monetary
commission appointed by the French
Government In 1863. Mr.. Rothschild said
The actual state Of things-that Is 10

two precious me,als-is satisfactory and
gives rise TO no complaint. What is
most needed in commerce Is facility in it,
operations, and to-day IL employs accord
ing to its needs, sometimes gold and
sometimes silver, and the partial re-
placement OF silver by gold which has
taken place In these latter times has
been effected without inconvenience.
They now demand that silver should
be demonetized. as. fifteen years ago
they demanded that gold should be. The
French Government wisely refused 10 de.

MnrfIn,a Atlanta Speech.

President L. G. Leigh. Jr., of the
Southern Wholesale Grocers' Association.
who returned to this city from Atlanta
Saturday night, yesterday said to the
Dispatch that the remarks of Captain
Martin had been misunderstood by us.
As Mr.. Leigh interpreted the applause
of the convention while Captain Martin
was speaking, 1t meant that the con-
vention heartily endorsed what Martin
said in approval OF Cleveland's financial
policy. What Martin said ABOUT Cleve-
land being given a salary of 100000 per
annum and elected for life Mr.. Leigh
regarded as mere by-play. The conven-
ton. we learn from Mr. Leigh, showed
unmistakable purpose Of approving Cleve-
lands financial policy, but had no thought
of endorsing Martins jocular remark
that Cleveland should be elected for life
at 100000 a year.
The Dispatches editorial on the subject
was based upon an Atlanta telegram.
which Mr. Leigh has convinced US failed
10 give the spirit of the convention with
regard TO the incident in question.

Nof without m Revolution

Commenting upon Article ", OF the
Federal Constitution. which provides that
no State without its consent shall be de-
prived OF its equal suffrage in the Senate.
one of our exchanges says that there is
no way in which that provision can be
stricken from the Constitution except by
revolution.
And it would have to be rather a pecu-
liar kind OF revolution. The smaller
States are much more numerous than
the large ones. The Senate, therefore. Will
always he in the hands of the smaller
States as 1t is now. The 18th, 18th. and
10Th articles Of amendment to the Consti-
tuition were ratified under compulsion-
that is, with military Governors super
vising their ratification. BY the way
was not that "a revolution?

vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood is full Of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
muscles which give il vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ner-

OF course scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
yersally recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition OF the blood
which causes Nervousness.
It is O false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when You
are taking a preparation which only
quiets your nerves! 1t is Ike trying to
"drown" your sorrows in the flowing

We wish to make most impressive,

You cannot purify your blood by

YOU are only THRILLING with your

Mrs. Bray is a woman OF strong south
ern sympathies, the wife of Professor
Chas ID. Bray. whom she married when
he was a teacher at the Naval Academy
Annapolis.
The cause Of it all according to a press
telegram was as follows:

She was very much hurt because ~

unpleasant TO her. on her return TO the
house she told her husband that she could
not dine again at the table with Gale.
Professor Bray conveyed her decision to
Mr.. Gale, who in his turn told the story
to the students, and they originated the
idea of the highly partisan serenade.
Mrs. Bray says she did not think the
matter would ever get outside her own
family, and in her family she believes she
has right to indulge her preferences re-
garding the choice of guests at her table.

o,,o., u.publ,can Greed.

That the proceedings Of the Ianes-
Vile convention OF last week put new
face upon political and party matters IN
oh,o seems TO be conceded By about
eyerybody--especially by people outside
OF the State. The intelligent pubic op'h-
ion which dominates every community
in the end, however or whatever 'hat
opinion may be when IT begins to assume
definite shape. has decided that the pro-
lection question shalt be dismissed Tor
the present. The Republicans OF ONO
will have TO accept the situation as 'heS
tnd a. and instead OF furnishing plat
form TO: the national Republican party
have to submit TO the indignity OF haV-
ing their platform remodelled and recon
structed in other States. on the silVer
issue. too, there was but one thing Tor
the Republicans Of Ohio to do. ana that
was TO come out Enthusiastically for gold
monometallism. They could not reasona-
bly, hope to deceive anybody by pretend
ing 10 be in favor OF using both SILVER
and gold and declaring that they were
IL properly understood, silverites. what
the GAINESVILLE convention ought TO nave
done was to declare for out-and-out soi1
monometalllsm. and on that single issue
fight the currency battle 10 the death.
The Providence Journal. speaking FOR
the New England States. says OF ONO
that protection Of any kind has received
its deathblow at the hands of the su-
preme Court in its income-tax decision
We do not so understand that decision
IT, is. at any rate, decision which IL
would not take many years for tie sdvo-
Gates OF an income tax to reverse. Inc
protection provided for In the case
Of the income tax is a sort of protection
which Is not likely to, be popular. once
the attention OF the voters Is attracted
TO 1t, that decision Will be passed upon
by the people. and the Constitution VIII
be so altered as to provide for taxing
incomes-especially large incomes.
We repeat. therefore. that the Ohio Re
publlcans committed at GAINESVILLE last
week one of those blunders which are
worse than a crime. In the next fresi-
Dental campaign the currency question
seems destined 10 absorb all attention.
Certainly that seems just now to be in
evitable And as there cannot be two
Republican platforms. the one platform
which the Republicans will have TO
mount will be a declaration In favor OF
gold monometsllism. The Republicans
of the whole country can unite upon no
other platform. SO we may set 1t down
as already inevitable that the Ohio creed
will be rejected by the Republican Ma
tlonal Convention, and creed formula
ted to which the New England and the
Middle States can give their support.

The opinion is becoming general that
the free-coinage idea in its extreme form
Is already losing popular favor. In Nir-
ginia for example. IL begins TO be under
stood that silverite congressman. who
were sustained when the tariff was the
issue because they were sound on that
question. will not have the same votes

Whenever the people Of Virginia are au-
thorized by their party-leaders to divide
upon the silver question. they will be COM
PEELED thus TO divide or not divide at all,
the party machinery being in the hands
of the State and other committees. But
we are not inclined TO the opinion that
they are likely to be called to account by
those Democrats who are also silvertes.
BY the way, the Sun may have noticed
that Nirginians are very apt 90 te men
OF their own heads, especially after they
are honored with Office. They have trust
ing constituents, and are not at all afraid
Of being wrongfully treated. SO the Sun
may dismiss its fears as to what will be
the fate OF the Virginia silverite con-
gressmen in the next House of Represen-
tatiyes.
