The Jefferson Davis Mansion.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem.).

The movement to remodel and restore
the house of the late Jefferson Davis in
Richmond. Va. is only natural among
people with whom he lived and for
whom he fought and suffered. Men may
well differ as 10 the political opinions of
the late president of the confederacy, but
most conservative people are unanimous
in their regard for his personal charac-
ter. The house which was for four years
his home Is properly regarded by the peo-
ing, and any effort looking to the prescr-
walton OF the memories that are associat-
ca with such place can awaken no feel
ing OF hostility in the hearts OF our peO-
PIE. W hen country. or any great sec
non OF country. shall refuse 70 rcmem-

A narrow Escape.

From a circular issued by Mr.. V. S. Nc
CATCHY OF the Sacramento (Cal) Bee, and
general manager of Pacific Associated
Press, II appears that the Chicago Asso-
ciated Press has treated the newspapers
on the Pacific coast Just as 1t would have
treated the Southern Associated Press If
IT'S plans had been successful, that is, it
would have got It in its power and then
raised the assessments of its men,
bers. Fortunately for the south
ern newspapers, they made a
fight upon the Chicago concern as
soon as they discovered that it did. not
intend to abide by its contract and even
tually severed all business relations with
it,

however, allowed themselves to be be-
guiled by the oily tongues of the men who
manage the Chicago Associated Press,
and to-day they are paying for trusting
them. The story, as told by officers of
tho Pacific Associated Press, shows even
worse breaches of faith than those shown
in its relations with the Southern Asso-
ciated Press.

Secretary smith'. Programme.

A Washington dispatch in the Philadel-
phia Ledger says: 1T Is now proposed
10 circulate a hundred thousand copies
OF Secretary Smiths speeches among the
people Of Georgia. 10 organize sound
money clubs in every county. and be-
tween now and March TO cover the state
with speakers OF local prominence. who
will advocate the cause Of an honest cur
rency. After a short stay in Washington
Secretary Smith expects to visit Augusta.
Savannah. Rome Athens and a number OF
other proninent towns in Georgia, where
he viii deliver a series Of addresses and
continue the work OF organization which
has already been begun"
The foregoing looks very much as If
Secretary smith had definitely decided to
be a candidate to succeed Gen. Gordon in
the Senate. a dispatch from Washington
in the Galveston News says that Repre-
sentative Turner and Secretary Smith are
the strongest Of political friends. and that
some of the Secretary's friends are quoted
as saying that il Mr.. Turner should be a
candidate for the Senate Mr.. Smith would
not be. but would do all he could TO have
Mr.. Turner elected.
We do not know anything about the re-
latiOns which exist between Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Turner. 1t may be that Mr..
We are inclined to think, however. that
if Mr.. Smith desires the senatorship. he
would not stand aside for the purpose of
aiding Mr.. Turner. unless he became sat
isfied that there was no chance for his
own election.
As far as we know, Asr. Turner has Civ
en- no sign as to whether or not ne will be
a candidate for senator. If, when the
time comes for the election of senator,
the line between the silverites and the
friends of sound money should be clearly
drawn it would be only natural that Mr..
Turner should be the choice of the friends
of sound money. He mad taken a firm
stand for sound money when the position
Of some other prominent democrats of
the state on the silver question was not
so clear and positive as to be generally
understood.
Mr.. turner has not taken an active
part in the discussion of the sill
yer question that has been going on in
the state for several months for the rea-
son that the condition of his health would
not permit him to do so. He went north
few days ago with the hope of regaining
his strength, and If he Is successful his
voice will be heard for sound money from
the stump in the fall. 1t is to be hoped,
however. that Mr.. Smith will carry out
his speech making programme announced
in the Washington dispatch. We are
quite confident that the majority of the
democrats of the state already favor
sound money, but that is no reason why
the campaign of education should not go
on. 1t is desirable that when the state
convention meets next year it shall be
overwhelmingly in favor of sound money.

The question is pertinent, because, while
Corbett and Fitzsmmons are forced to
scour the country for a place in which

lesser lights of pugilism are permitted to
hammer each other into insensibility

Speaking of the ending of the debate on
the silver question between Mr. Roswell
G. Horr and Mr.. William H. Harvey in
Chicago, the New York Sun says: THE
silver question has been talked to death.
Great arguments about it have been made,
and on the whole there have been sixteen
portions of rant to one portion of argu-
ment. The people in Mississippi and
Georgia seem still capable of working
themselves into heat about it. but mos,
of the rest of the country is very tired of
it. 1t is settled already, settled in accor-
dance with common sense"
We are inclined to think the question is
practically settled. The silverites were
certain that the democracy of Kentucky
was almost solid for silver. They were
mistaken. The state democratic conven,
ton was overwhelmingly in favor Of
sound money.
The democracy Of Iowa was thought 10
favor free silver coinage. Indeed, the
silvertes made their boast that when The
Democratic party of that state had a
chance to express itself on the silver
question it would be almost unanimous
for free silver coinage. Wen, it has had
a chance to express itself in the election Of
delegates to the state convention, and the
great majority of the counties have de-
clared in favor of sound money And
when the voice of the Georgia democracy
is heard on the silver issue it will be
against the silver craze. 1t can be predict
ed with almost absolute certainty that the
next national democratic convention will
declare for sound money. Yes, the silver
question is practically settled. The sill .
vertes will continue to make a noise,
but the people have made up their minds
that they want sound money
