HOPEFUL INDICATIONS.

When Mr.. Whitney goes TO Chicago he
will not have to face an absolutely immov
able phalanx of free silver Democrats from
the West and South. There are indications
that spirit of reason on the part of the
Northeastern Democracy will meet with
some response. The latest conciliatory over
ture from the silver cyclone belt is reported
from Indiana, where Governor Matthew's
is trying to bring about an understanding
between the two wings of the party, with
view to having some gold men on the dele
cation. His desire for harmony is stimu-
lated by his regard for his presidential boom,
which would be badly damaged by this dis
ruption of the party. The same considera
ton is likely to modify the ardor of other
presidential candidates for the "16 TO or
bust' policy. When a man has begun to
consider himself a presidential possibility
he has tendency to look at things from a
practical point of view, and the idea of
throwing away eighty or hundred cleo
toral votes is not as fascinating to him as 1t
would be if, like Mr.. Cleveland, he had no
other ambition than to serve as "private
in the ranks"
Unless the Democracy is to be hopeessly
split at Chicago, the sound money men must
make it easy for their opponents TO clasp
hands across the bloody chasm OF sectional
iistrust. Nobody is better fitted to turn the
edge of fanaticism-Ea Eastern gold and West
ern silver fanaticism equally-than Mr..
Whitney, and upon the result OF his tact
and fairness the fate Of the party depends.
He will not ask the Chicago convention to
do anything unreasonable, and the party is
fortunate in having such leader as VIM.
G. Whitney at this particular time No one
can question his motives, or doubt his sin
cere love for his party.

A bill was introduced at the late session
of Congress to invest the survivors of the
Greedy Arctic expedition with second lieu
tenances and retire them. There are four
of these men left, and they form part of the
heroic band that passed three long and
dreary winters, full of heroism and sacri-
flee, in the far north, doing much to add to
our knowledge of that region. They carried
the American flag to the northernmost point
attained by any explorer, made collections
and gathered useful statistics. Their suffer
ings and privations were almost unparalleled
and it is said that as consequence of the
exposure and hardships undergone their
health is permanently injured. In such
circumstances, tranquility and comfort for
the rest Of their lives would seem to be but
justly due.

WE HAVE THE SINGLE GOLD
STANDARD.

The Baltimore San, in answer to cor
respondent, gives the following:
A correspondent is informed that silver
dollars are now legaltender to any amount
in private as well as public transactions.
From this it might be inferred that the sill
yer dollar, as well as the gold dollar, is our
standard of value-that we have "double
standard" But we have, in fact, single
standard, section of the Sherman silver act
declaring it to be "the established policy OF
the United States to maintain the two metals
on parity with each other" BY the words
here quoted-they have not been repealed
the Secretary of the Treasury is required to
prevent the existence of two different stand
ards He is required to keep the silver dol.
lar at par with the gold dollar and effects
this by maintaining the gold reserve. The
act of 1893, which repealed the vicious part
OF the Sherman act, declares again that it is
"the policy of the United States to continue
the use OF both gold and silver as standard
money" and to maintain at all times the
equal power of every dollar coined in the
uhIkets anu III tuo pay hiOuS vi ucoto'
These declarations OF policy imposed on the
Secretary of the Treasury the duty of TAX
ing such steps as would, in his opinion, pre-
vent the silver dollar from parting company
with the gold dollar. This could be done
only by virtually offering to exchange a
gold dollar for the silver dollar, which is in
1.-THE markets" worth only about half as
much. Taking existing legislation as a
whole, it prescribes, it is seen, in effect, the
maintenance Of the single gold standard.
Giving the silver dollar the legal-tender
quality seems to make it standard dollar,
but this is nullifed by the express declara
tons of "policy" in the acts of 1890 and
1893 The Secretary is bound by these acts
TO keep silver coins up TO the gold standard
of value and the gold reserve OF 100000 900

government TO do SO

The Republican national convention Of
1896 completed its work at St. Louis on
Thursday and adjourned. AS was expect
ed, ex-Gov William Mckinley, of Ohio
was nominated for the Presidency on the
first ballot. The choice for the Vice Presi-
dency fell upon Garrett A. Hobart, of New
Jersey, also on the first ballot.
On the defeat of free silver proposition
offered by the silver men as a substitute for
the gold platform, the silver delegates, head
ed by Senator Teller, of Colorado, left the
convention.

A POLITICAL MIX.

At the st. Louis convention twenty five
of the twenty delegates from Michigan
voted for the financial plank in the platform,
and fair assumption would be that the
Republicans of Michigan are in favor of the
gold standard Evidently, however, the con
test i'm that State will be conducted with a
most striking disregard of the principles
cnunciated by the national convention. The
Detroit Tribune, the leading organ of the
party, urges the silver Republicans not to
encourage the idea of bolt, but to set to
work to control the primaries at which dele
gates to the gubernatorial convention will
be elected. The proposition is to make the
fight for Governor squarely upon the free
coinage issue, for the purpose of 'rebuking
the delegation to st. Louis and setting the
Republicans of Michigan right before the
world" In other words, the party in Mich
igan is urged to repudiate the platform put
forth at ST Louis in so far as 1t relates to the
maintenance of the gold standard. The
Tribune also advises the silver Republicans
to organize at once to secure the nomina

men who favor free coinage-for Congress,
it says, will decide the coinage question
mo serious harm" it adds, "has been done
at St. Louis, if only you are awake at last
to the danger that threatens. The party has
been stolen from You when you were not
looking Be diligent in pursuit in order
that the robbers may not escape with the
booty" If this is the sentiment among the
Republicans of Michigan, or any great num-
Der of them, Mark Hanna ought to begin
missionary work at once among men who
are really mole dangerous than boilers.
Moreover, the situation in Kansas is quite
as anomalous. Senator Pleffer's term will
expire in March, 1897, and his successor
will be chosen by the Legislature to be
elected this fall. The Democrats and Popu-
lists, it is understood, have made an ar
rangement by which the Populists will get
the governorship, in return for which free
silver Democrat is TO be sent to the Senate
Ex Senator Ingalls, will make the fight
against the Populist-Democratic fusion, but
even he will run upon compromise plat
form. This is very tishy politics, to say the
least, and Hanna ought to see that the plat,
form adopted at St. Louis is respected by
the party in the several States. Otherwise
the campaign will be farcical.-BaltO Sun.
