SILVER AND 1896.

1t is announced from Washington that a
grand silver movement, to find expression
in series Of lectures directed by "A central
organization of all the silver advocates of
the West, is to be started and vigorously
pushed between now and the next Presi-
dental election. A despatch says:
ut is said that Bland, Bryan and all the de
feated silver candidates for reelection will be
on the list of lecturers and that they will take
the stump soon after Congress adiourns. 1t is
said, moreover, to be Il part of the plan Of the
silver men to get control of newspapers
wherever possible, and have II chain of sub
sidized silver publications from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and from Maine to Texas for the
campaign of 1896"
These reports are to be needed as signs of
growing determination among the silver
men to make the Presidential campaign of
1896 fight on the silver issue-on that and
nothing else. The prospect is one which
has given rise to speculation as to the effect
which such a stand-up contest would have
upon party lines, and it is interesting if
nothing more, to note the confidence with
which certain of the friends of the white
metal approach the subject Mr. Bland
for instance, is quoted as having said:
ut ithe silver ssue) ought to have been the
principal issue two years ago but we were
then just emerging from the shadow of sec
tionalism and the Force bill, and it WAS no
time to divide on financial question. But that
time has now arrived, and the next contest
will be waged between the free coinage men
and those who oppose that proposition. Party
lines Will be obliteratcd and this will be the
one thing which will divide the voters of the
country"
Another free coinage man. Representa-
tive Livingstone, of Georgia, is reported to
have said that the silver men would have "a
candidate of their own in the election for
President, and, further, that that candidate
would sweep the country" and Garry
New York State" In recent interview
Mr. Springer, the chairman of the Banking
and Currency Committee of the House,
permitted himself to say:
Among both Democrats and Republicans
find the same feeling and the same fear, which
fear may briefly be stated to be bolt in both
parties in the event of declarations by their
national conventions in favor, by the Demo-
Gratis, of silver, and by the Republicans, vir-
tually, of the gold standard"
These quotations individually are inter
esting as expressing the common belief of
active public men from different portions OF
the country Collectively, their significance
is not to be overlooked. While we may
regard such utterances in default of more
exact evidence as largely speculative in their
prediction, they express a feeling which un
doubleday is definite and strong in theWest
and in the silver States in the South--thc
feeling that the question of silver must
come to settlement, and that the next
Presidential campaign is the time for open
ing up determined fight

this ex-senator William Malone became
interested in the real estate field in the
city of Washington, and as result of it
neglected the Republican party of Virginia
As result of his neglect the Republicans
ran no candidate for Governor in 1893, and
the party organization practically dis
banded. In 1894, year of sweeping
Republican triumph, the Democrats car
ried nine of the ten Congressional districts
of Virginia, and they have one hundi ed
and eighteen members of the Legislature
to eighteen Republicans. There is some
talk of General Malone interesting himself
again in Virginia politics, and, if he does,
there will be, it is expected, a revival of
Republicanism in the Old Dominion.

PROTECT THE GAME BIRDS.

A movement is now on foot to organize a
State Game and Fish Protective Association
and meeting to that end will be held in
Baltimore on Tuesday evening, March 9TH,
at the Carrollton Hotel. 1t is to be hoped
that such an Association will be formed
strong and determined, and all true sports
men in Cecil county should lend their aid
in every way. Our depleted game supply
suggests the need of a protective association,
which will put stop to the many violations
of the game laws, and take active steps to
replenish our game supply. Join the
association, be an active member, and fight
for the protection of the game birds and
fish of our county and state.
All are invited to attend the meeting
Persons unable to attend are requested to

THE REPUBLICAN VICTORY
A Letter on This Subject Written by
Fred Douglass on the Day Be-
fore His Sudden Death.

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. D. The following let
ter, written by Fred Douglass the day before
his death, has just been received by Ellis p.
Passmore of this city, dated Cedar Hill,
Anacostia, ID. c.: Il cannot say | am much
elated by the victory of the Republican party,
though | am glad that the Democratic partv
has met with defeat. | have my fears that
the victory of the Republicans may make
them even little more Indifferent about pro-
tecting human rights under the Constitution
than when they were in power before. 1t is
to the shame of the Republican party that it
could protect the rights of American citizens
everywhere but at home. 1t made no earnest
effort to see that the Constitution was obeyed
in the Southern States and the ballot-box
protected. The fourteenth amendment de-
clares that when any State shall deprive any of
its citizens of the elective franchise represen-
tation shall be reduced, etc No attempt has
been made to enforce this provision by the
Republican party or any other, yet all swore
to support the Constitution. | have not
declared for any particular candidate for the
Republican nomination in SO, nor do | see
any need of such declaration at this distance
of time. The man likely to get it will be from
State which the Republicans may think it
difficult but important to carry. Old Mr.
Availability will, as usual, decide the ques-
ton as to who the man shall be. Still, we
have chance of getting n better man from
the Republicans than from Democrats or
Populists.''

AN INQUIRY.
Chinese Show a Disposition to Make
Amends For Wrongs.
CONSUL HlxsoS AT Ku-cHsNe.
Report That Satisfactory Prog
ress Is Being Made.

WAsHrNGroH, Aug. e9-The state de-
partment has received advices from Min
lister Denby, dated Aug 27, in which he
states that Mr.. Hixson, our consul at Foo
Choo, Started for Ku Chepg in the early
part OF the month, under orders from him
to Investigate the recent riots.
Mr.. Hixson went with the consent OF the
Chinese government and under the protec-
tion Of an escort furnished him by the
provincial authorities. He was accom-
panied by a naval officer OF our fleet, tho
latter, as the department has been advised
from other sources being Commander
Newell of the Detroit
Mr.. Hixson has reported to Minister
DENLY that the work OF the commission
at Ku-Cheng Is proceeding smoothly and
that the Chinese officials are lending their
active cooperation. A considerable num-
Der OF convictions have been already Sc
cured.
Ready For business.
As TO the Szu- -Chuan commission, Mr..
DENLY states that il will begin its work az
soon as the British consul at Chung King,
who has been designated by his govern
ment TO serve thereon, can leave his post,
which for che time being he finds IL impos-
sible TO do.
The late vioeroy Of Szu-Chuan, Liu
Ping Chang, lSs not been appointed by
the Pekin government its commissioner
for investigating either the June or Au-
gust riots, but he has received orders from
the emperor TO remain at his post at
Cheng- Tu until his conduct prior to and
during the riots has been thoroughly in
vestigated.
The first paragraph In the above. state
ment completely disposes of story sent
from Washington few days ago, TO the
effect that Consul Hixson had proceeded
hastily and without authority. The whole
statement also disposes of another baseless
story that Minister Denby's course was
unsatisfactory and that he was likely to
be recalled
It Is stated at the department that mat
ters are progressing In China in an en-
tireiy satisfactory manner.
