decisive1y on the Armenian and Chi
nese questions; for its inaction on
questions of financial policy; its re-
fusal to aid the old soldiers, and its
disregard of civil service law; COM

system inaugurated by the Democrats
is a menace and detriment to the
country; favoring an honest dollar and
opposing any effort to coin silver
freely, or lower the currency standard,
and favoring an international agree
ment which will result in the use of
both gold and silver as an internal
tional circulating medium.

NATIONAL SILVER PARTY.
Congressman Newlands, of Nevada,
Talks to n Reporter.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Congressman
Francis NJ. Newlands. of Nevada,
chairman of the executive committee
Of the national silver party, talked to
a World reporter at the Holland house
today on the future of free and unlim-
tied coinage as a political issue.
'T recognize the fact" he said, that
If business continues to improve and
it turns out that the improvement is
permanent, the silver issue is dead.
'"The only discouraging feature of
the situation Is the outflow Of gold. At
this particular time, there ought to be
market abroad for our staple export
products, wheat and cotton, but Eng
land does not appear ia be buying as
freely as usual. It may be that condi-
tons will change and the beginning of
expectation will cause an inflow Of
gold; but to us we believe in the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver, and the
situation is one that should make it
evident that the world cannot do BUSH
ness with gold alone.
Nevertheless 1 am frank to admit
that with the return of prosperity sill
yer ceases to be an issue, for when the
people are occupied with profitable
business affairs they have neither the
time nor the inclination to discuss
money questions"

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept. .15.-Mr.
J. E. johnson, secretary of the Atlanta
exposition for the colored people of the
District of Columbia, has written an
open letter to the exposition authori-
ties in Atlanta, protesting against the
granting of a concession for the sale
of cheap whisky in the negroes build
ing at the exposition. Mr.. Johnson
says in part:
1.-The entire commission having in
charge the exhibit of the colored peo-
pie from the city of Washington are
surprised and chagrined to learn that
after all it's work to procure for your
exposition a good display, the articles
collected must be placed in an exposi-
ton groggery. You should have ad-
vised us long since If such were the
aims and objects of your company.
Why did you not have this whisky guz-
zling annex placed in some of the other
buildings?
1.-The whole mana cement must have
known where you crowd together, as is
hoped to do at Atlanta, thousands of
colored people Of all classes in a cheap
bar room, that trouble is bound to en-
sue, perhaps in the shape of murder
or lyuching. If this concession must
