Wise Counsel.

The Columbia Herald, one of the
ablest and most Jealous advocates of
free coinage at 16 to 1, has the follow
ing to say in reference to the State
Convention proposed:
We cannot agree with those zeal
GUS friends of free silver who are cry
ing aloud for a Democratic State Con-
vention to be held this year to the
Missouri Democrats what they be-
lieve upon the financial question.
Such a convention would be, in our
opinion, unwise from a party stand
point as it is unnecessary.
The Missouri Democracy, less than
twelve months ago, defined their views
upon public questions in platform
drawn and endorsed by Richard P.
Bland and vigorously opposed by the
gold standard advocates. To call a
convention to dispose of the ques-
ton for second time would indicate
that the Kansas City platform was a
cheat and snare. 1t would proclaim
to the world that the Missouri Demo
Gratis had changed their views on the
silver question and that the views
| must be recorded now lest they may
be changed again before the regular
convention next year.
| A State Convention in an off year
settles nothing. The platform must
be fought over again the next year
If the gold advocates are defeated in
1s95-as of course they will be-they
will bob up again in 1896, simmering
and stirring up party discord in the
meanwhile.
We can see no good end that viii
be attained by a proceeding SO un'
precedented. We hope the State
committee will decline to call the con-
vention.

SpeakinD Ont in Texas,

The response OF Dallas Democrats
to the call for sound money confer
ence in Waco, on May 9, has in it a
patriotic tone that is going to ring
throughout the state. From it is taken
the following:
eve have determined that the Dem
ocratic party of Texas shall not be
overrun by the Populists and 16 to 1
silverites without protest and fight.
If reputation and rotton money are
to be forced upon this country let the
Populists and their allies do it. We
join you in inviting all patriotic and
honest money Democrats to this con-
ference, and sincerely hope and be-
lieve it will result in great good to our
country and party

No Extra Session Necessary.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 21.-Mem-
bers of the Administration who are
undoubtedly fully acquainted with the
Presidents views and purposes state
unhesitatingly that an extra session of
Congress is out of the question. Nor
is there the least likelihood of another
bond issue. The Treasury now has a
balance of over S192, ,OOC 900, which is
available for all purposes, and the
same amount is more likely to be in
creased than diminished during the
next few months. 1t is argued that
the approaching fruit canning season
is certain to make largely increased
demand for sugar, which, owing to the
small supply on hand, must be import
ed. The revenues from this source
are confidently expected to reach
several millions, and this, added to
the large amounts which very soon
will begin to come in from renewed
liquor licenses, will largely augment
the revenues, even should the Gus
toms not meet present expectations.
All licenses expire on June 30 in each
year, and, Judging from last years
revenues, the receipts this year from
this source will exceed $4,000, 600,
which must be paid within the next
forty days.
In the meantime the expenditures
will be kept down to the lowest point
consistent with good business prin-
ciples. Commissioner Miller, of the
Internal Revenue Bureau, win dis
miss at once every unnecessary per-
son employed in connection with the
income tax at the earliest possible
moment, and as soon as the returns
can be classified and tabulated SO that
the amount to be refunded to each
person who has paid his tax is made
apparent the bureau will be closed.

a nERATE ON SILVER,
Prot. Laughlin and the Author OF
'u0in's Financial School Discuss
the Subject

CHICAGO, I'LL, May Is, A debate
on The silver question took place last
night at the Illinois club between w.
IL, Harvey, author of ''uoin's flnah-
eiai school, and j, Lawrence Laugh
lin, professor of political economy III
the Chicago univefsity. Recently
Prof. Laughlin haa been writing ser
les ol articles for the Chicago Herald
in reply to the ''Coin" publications.
The whole tenor of Mr.. Harvey's
address was that this country ought TO
be- independent of England III the
adoption of Il monetary system, and
that ''gold gamblers should not be
permitted to control that system. The
concluding paragraph was:
''This is n question of capital on one
side and humanity on the other. OF
sound money-the sound of the clod
on the coflin-on one side and sound
money - the sound that has the
honest ring of the peoples money III
it-on the other side. 1t is question
of an English policy or an American
policy. Which shall it be?"
Prof. Laughlin, replying, laid stress
on the fact that the business of the
world consists of an exchange for
commodity, and that the state of gen
| eral confidence or credit at any given
time is many fold more important il
its effects on prices on general pros
perity than the supply of actua-
money. His conclusion was as fol
| lows:
Extraordinary as is the propose
for free coinage, it is in truth only {
huge delusion. 1t was born i'll the
private offices of the silver kings
nursed at the hands of spectators
clothed in economic error, fed on boo
die and, as sure as there is honesty ant
| truth in the American heart, it will dit
young and be buried in the same igno
minious grave wherein lies the nov
forgotten infant, once famous as tn

A Republican Rumor.

The Republicans at jefferson City
are circulation the following report:
SIT is stated here that the plan of the
silver Is to 1 Democrats is 10 call an
early convention and declare for free
silver, and elect delegates who will
stand for Gov. VIM. J. Stone for Pres
ident in 1896. They claim that his
states' rights ideas will make him pop
ular in the Southern states, and for
this reason Bland will of necessity give
way to Stone"

Poker Editor Jailed.

Editor Perry, of Irvington, Ga, ad-
vertised that he would teach people
how to play poker successfully for a
consideration. The first pupil who
came along won nearly all the clothes
off Perry's back, and then had him ar
rested for using the mails for fraudu-
lent purposes in advertising to teach
something which he knew nothing
about. He is now in Jail pending his
trial. When an editor tries to teach
the people of Georgia how to play
poker he is taking long chances.

Silver in the Air.


The news to-day is full of the silver
controversy. The upper house of the
German Diet yesterday passed against
Government protest a resolution for
an international bimetallie conference
as the only safe way of settling cur
rency questions.
\ silver conference is sitting at Salt
Lake City composed of delegates from
all the far Western States, and they
are said to be unanimous for free
and unlimited coinage at 16 to i.
The Democrats of Western Ken
lucky have declared in convention i'll
favor of free coinage. Justice Jack
son has announced himself in favor of
free silver. The echoes of ex-Speaker
Crisp's declaration to like effect are
still reverberating through the South.
On the Esd of May the Memphis
Sound Money Convention will en-
deavor to stay the tide of free silver
sentiment in the West and South, and
the silver men have decided to hold a
conference of their own in Memphis
Immediately afterwards, as an anti
dote.
The silver question was touched
upon in the British House of Com
mons yesterday. On Friday there
was debate on the subject in Chicago
between Prof. LaughIin and the author
of tCoin's Financial School, Finally
a report is widely circulated that Sen
ator Hill has written letter declaring
himself in favor of free silver, but
Senator Hill fatty contradicts it.
1t is silver's day in the matter of
varied news, and the news is an index
of the widespread interest felt IN a
controversy which seems destined to
be leading issue in the politics of
the next two or three years.

General Weaver's Political Idea.

DENVER, COL, May 1s.--General
James B. Weaver said yesterday OF
the coming Presidential campaign:
''The Populists will never go into the
Democratic party, nor viii any great
number of the Democrats go into the
Popiist party, no matter what action
the conventions may take. There is
but one sensible an,i patriotic thing
to dove must unite upon an inde-
pendent ticket. The head of the tick
ct should be some man of Democratic
antecedents like sibley, who has left
his party and declared war for the
people. The Vice President should
be some prominent Republican like
Judge Caldwell, who Is for financial
reform"
