THE ARKANSAS PLAN.

A committee of leading Democrats in
Arkansas has issued an address to the
voters of that state suggesting bolt
from the Chicago convention if that
convention refuses to pronounce in IA
for of bimetallism by declaring for the
free and unlimited coinage of gold and
silver. 1t insists that all the southern
and western states should send dele
cations to Chicago with a determine
ton to accept no equivocal declara-
ton about the free coinage Of the
white metal.
The address, in the event of the plat
form and candidate not suiting them
as to the question of finance, favors
the withdrawal of the silver delegates,
who. in the judgment of the Arkan-
sas committee, should declare them
selves the true national Democratic
convention, and adjourn to meet at st.
Louis in conjunction with the conven-
ton of July %, and nominate a Demo-
cratic ticket which, in the opinion of
the committee, will unite under the ban
ners of the party enough of the voters
of the country to sweep everything
west of the Blue Ridge and south of
the Potomac"
That plan we believe in the main is
right. If we dissent from anything it
would be the adjournment to st. Louis
on the 22d of July. Let the silver Dem
ocrats Immediately, and in the city of
Chicago, convene in convention, de-
clare themselves the true National
Democratic convention, adopt a plat
form, nominate candidates, and call
upon the voters to sustain both The
successful battle for free silver will
eventually be fought out under the BAN
ner Of the true Democratic party, and
the sooner the war begins the sooner
shall we arrive at the goal of victory.
But if our silver friends in the doubt
full bimetallic states are sufficiently
active the silver forces will dominate
at the Chicago convention and throw
upon the single gold standard men the
of surrender or the alterna-
tive of boiling. We believe the great
majority of Democrats are for free sill
yer: we are positive that in the strong
holds of Democracy it is so, and from
all quarters comes the news of gains in
the sentiment for a straight declara-
ton for true bimetallism, the unre-
stricted coinage of gold and silver, by
the Chicago convention. May the good
work go on by leaps and bounds.

PARDoNING coNvIcTs.


The institution of a state board of
pardons is certainly a very great i'm
provement on making the governor the
sole pardoning power. Its judgments
will generally be entitled to more
weight and the interests OF the state
better regarded than a single individ-
ual's will. When to grant and when
to refuse a pardon are matters requir-
ing the greatest consideration and the
best judgment. President Cleveland
had occasion to act in several cases re-
Gently and granted pardons. There
were two cases, in which two
brothers sought executive elem
bezzlers. After reviewing the circum-
stances of the case, the reputation of
the man, etc, he comes to his conduct
in the reformatory. There it had been
so good that the president says that
IF the rules generally prevailing in
the institution applied to United States
prisoners, he would have been dis
charged several months ago, and L
have before me two offers of employ
ment for the convict in respectable
and remunerative positions immedi-
ately upon his release" This must
mean that if state copper applied to
Un3ted States prisoners he would have
earned his discharge some months be-
fore. In this state it was decided some
years ago that territorial copper did
apply to United States prisoners.
In the case of the brother of the man
above referred to, the president wrote
on the back of the papers: His Grim
inality certainly is not greater than
that of his brother, and 1 am satisfied
in this case, as 1 was in that of Albert
o. Gould, that all the ends of Justice
will be answered by the pardon of this
convict
The test as to whether or not par
don should be granted a prisoner is
found therein: when the ends of JUS
tice will be answered by it. The re-
fusal to grant a pardon may work an
injury to the state and make absolute
Iy impossible the reformation of
prisoner. When he is fully punished for
his crime and there is no further dan
ger of his returning to criminal WAYS.
he should be granted a pardon.

SPANISH VAUNTs OF SPANISH VIC
TORIES.

One of the most fruitful sources for
newspaper paragraphs the past year
has been the war news sent out from
Cuba by the Spanish authorities. Vic
tory after victory has been reported,
and they have been chiefly owing to
the fact that the telegraphic bureau at
Havana has been safely guarded. But
there is nothing new under the sun,
not even a Spanish account of a Span
ish victory.
a little over three hundred years ago
one of Good Queen Bess' ships, the Re
venge, had a fight with an armada of
the king of Spain about the isles, of
the Azores" The Spaniards made
much of the fight, so much that that
most valiant of knights, Sir Walter
Raleigh, felt constrained to tell the
story as it was, for the Spanish ac-
counts were such as the immortal Don
QuiXote would have approved.
Because the rumors are diversely
spread" says Raleigh, cas- we'll in Eng
land as the Low Countries and else
where, of this late encounter between
her majesty's ships and the armada
of Spain; and that the Spaniards, &C
cording to their usual manner fill the
world with their vainglorious vaunts,
making great appearance of victories
when, on the contrary, themselves are
most commonly and sfelmefully beaten
and dishonored, it is agreeable with
all good reason, for manifestation of
the truth, to overcome falsehood and
untruth, that the beginning, contin-
uance and success of this late honor
able encounter of Sir Richard Gren-
vile and other her ,majestys cap
tains with the armada of Spain should
be truly set down and published with
out Partially or false imaginations
And it is no marvel that the Span
lard should seek by false and SANDER
Gus pamphlets. advisoes and letters, to
cover their own loss, and to derogate
from others their due honors, especially
in this fight performed far off; seeing
they were not ashamed in the year
1888, when they purposed the invasion
Of this land, to publish in sundry Ian
guages in print great victories in
words, which they pleaded to have
obtained against this realm. and
spread the same in most false sort
over all parts of France, Italy and else

Spanish vaunts of three centuries ago
describes them today. And Spanish
victories in the Azores then were
much the same as in Cuba today.

ssExrc.ls AND AMERICAN DOLLARS


Geld standard advocates delight to
tell of Mexieo's debased currency and
to point to our southern neighbor as
terrible example of what silver stand
ard does for a country. According to
the Washington Post a Mexican silver
dollar will buy as much in the City
Of Mexico an an American gold dollar
will buy in the city of New York. It
says:
The question is whether you can take
a Mexican dollar in the City of Mexico
and get as good a dinner, or as good a
shirt, as you can get in New York with
a gold dollar. We say you can. and
we sneak on the authority of absolute
knowledge. We are not arguing for
free silver coinage for the United
States. We are simply endeavoring to
dlVest the controversy of the folly and
stupidity with which it has been satu-
rated by single standard editors and
orators, who don't know what they are
talking about.
If the standard of this country were
silver, which no one advocates, would
not the purchasing power of the dol
lar be as great then as now? If a sill
yer dollar will purchase as much in
the City of Mexico as gold dollar
in New York, how much better of is
the laborer in New York with his gold
dollar than the Mexican laborer with
his silver dollor? Which gets the most
dollars is not the question, but what
they can get with them. 1t is not
American laborers who fear free coin
age but American capitalists, who real
ize that it would lessen their power,
fer they know it is much. harder to
control an abundance of money than
scarcity of it.
In the light of such facts as the Post
gives gold standard advocates will
have to cease citing Mexico as terri
BILE example.

UNIFIcArIoN OF sourH AFn1CA.

AS already suggested, Mr.. Rhodes
| aim. publicly avowed, both in England
and at the cape, was to create a Uni
ted States in South Africa. He did
not propose in the least to interfere
with the internal economy of the colo
MES and republics, nor to lay finger
upon their flags. He had two methods
! by which he hoped to secure the unity
of South Africa. The first was a Gus
toms convention, the second was the
completion of a continental system of
railway communication. Slowly, stead
lily and with infinite patience Mr..
Rhodes worked toward the attainment
of this end. He succeeded in Cape
Colony, in the Orange Free State, in
Charterland, and to a certain extent
in Natal, but President Kruger was
ugly. Instead of accepting the rail-
way convention and the customs con-
vention, the old Boer clapped heavy
duties upon the agricultural produce
of the Cape Colony, and instead of well
coming the cape railway eystem he
spent millions in constructing a line
to Delagoa bay Nor was this all. In
stead of fostering the mining industry
which was progressing with leaps and
BOUNDS, President Kruger and his ring
regarded it with scant sympathy. To
the primitive Boer and his German
Hollander advisers Johannesburg was
d peril. not a strength, to the republic.
1t is true that the mines filed the cof-
fers of the Transvaal with such super
fluffy of wealth that they could squan-
der millions over their Delagoa bay
railway, enrich the foreign parasites
who surrounded the president and be-
sides have sufficient surplus which
they invested in purchasing German
artillery for arming fortresses from
which they could shell johannesburg

a WISE DECISION.


The navy department has decided to
discontinue the practice of admitting
representative of other nations to the
tests of armor and armor piercing pro-
jectiles at Indian Head. The decision
is a wise one. This government has
expended many millions of dollars in
the last few years in the manufacture
of heavy ordnance for the navy and
for coast defense, and for armor.
Every step taken in their manufacture
has been duly chronicled in the public
press. Everyone who has cared to
could know what the results of the
tests of guns, armor and projectiles at
Indian Head have been if he chose to
read the papers. All these results have
been very fiattering to our national
pride. But who knows the result of
such tests by the English, German or
French governments outside of those
whose business it is to know? Very
few indeed. This government has been
far more generous in these matters
than the governments of those coun-
tries, but far less discreet They have
been able to profit by our experiments
and no doubt have done so. Should
there chance 20 be a war between the
United States and some foreign coun-
try that country, in all probability.
would have all the data desired about
American arn,or and ordnance and
a most invaluable knowledge it would
be- This country prides itself on hav-
ing the best heavy guns and armor
piercing projectiles in the world. If
it has all other countries know just
what they are up to the present time,
but they will know less about them
in the future.

HER LENTEN PRAYER.

o, gracious Father hearken unto me,
Withdrawing Lent bend my naughty
knee.
Accept pray, my heartfelt sacrifice.
I'm rather stiff for want of exercise,
And one such prayer as this should
count for twice
Say, Minnie, tell me. who's that girl in
OF all my sins, o Lord, assume the
brunt-
What lovely point lace on that hand
kerchief-
The Litany! Let's bow our heads in grief
Who stole her diamonds? Have they
caught the thief?
I know full we'll that l deserve rebuke
For my Irritation with that English duke;
Though badly punished when my rival,
Sally,
Discovered he was but his grace's Wallet;
And her papa just threw him in the alley.
l feel much better now; from off my soul
The sins of a whole season seems TO roll.
I'll have to come here once week at
least,
And be partaker in the heavenly feast.
What luck, to strike young and hand
