A SILVER MAJORITY IN THE DEMO
CRATIC CONVENTION.

1t must now be evident to the unbiased
spectator tina the free-silver wing OF the
Democratic party is likely TO control the
Chicago convention. Six months g 1t
was probable that the Cleveland or
sound-money element would have a ma
jority Of the delegates n make the
platform and the nomination. Two
months & the tide turned. and now the
control Of the silverites seems well nigh
assured. Something may happen be-
tween this time and the meeting Of the
convention to cause a reaction. but 1t is
not probable. Just now the strife be-
tween the two elements is bitterest in
Illinois, where, unfortunately for the.
sound-money element, h contest is be-
tween the President and Governor Alt
geld. The indications are that Altgeld
will win. With the organization in his
hands II seems more than an even chance
that Altgeld will get a considerable por-
ion Of the delegation from Chicago. If
he able Democrats in Indiana who favor
\ sound currency had taken hold three
months ago they could have controlled
a large part of the delegation. AS 1t now
stands 1t is not probable that the delega-
ton will contain six sound-money men.

ARTIST sCHMITz AND THE MONU-
MENT.

The fact that Mr.. Bruno Schmitz de-
signed the soldiers monument as a whole
proves him to be much more than a mere
one. Although he is not able to design
the groups OF statuary in detail. he Is
able, better than the sculptor who is the
master of such detail, to designate their
general proportions and their proper re-
lation to the great shaft. His training
qualities him to see the structure as it
should be when complete. harmonious in
all it's parts He did see 1t so when he
made the original drawings, and On look
ing at the monument itself in its present
stage Of progress he sees that the har-
mony has been preserved only where the
design was closely followed. Happily,
this was lone everywhere except in the
building Of the fountains. 1t required
no expert to see that these were made
quate in every respect. and 1t was to be
expected hat he would condemn them,
but his verdict should have most weight.
What he say about other parts Of the
structure should also be received as
authoritative by those who have the
work in charge. He favors stone in
stead of bronze groups. and gives good
reasons therefor. Many people who are
not professional artists. s~culptors Oh
architects. but have a fairly well de-
veloped sense of the fitness of things
have believed all along that groups Of
stone statuary would be in better keep
ing than bronze. and will be gratified
to know that their Judgment is sustained
by SO high an authority. The objec-
ions to stone are trivial: the matter at
least shoul receive. careful and un-
prejudiced consideration by the regents.
and with a purpose Of carrying out, as
far as possible. all the designers plans.
His name will be more closely associated
with the great memorial than that Of
~anysdesigner of its parts; he is RESPONSE
BILE kQr 1t as a whole. and 1t is due to him
that his advice be taken.

Time Fixed for Debate ON h Iumi-
grafton BflIs-A Whisky Bill.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-It was expected
that the House would take up consideration
of the immigration bills on the calendar to-
day under a special order. but, owing 70
the pressure of other matters. the order was
not presented until just prior to adjourn
ment. 1t was then amended so as to give
tomorrow and "Wednesday until 4 o'clock for
consideration of these bills. There are four
of them. The Mccall bin provides an edu-
catIonal test: the Stone bill provides for con-
sular inspection, and the Mahany and Cor
liss bills provide for more rigid enforce
ment Of the present immigration laws. and
especially deal with immigration from Can
ada.
Quite a number OF minor bills and con-
ference reports were adopted. and bills were
passed as follows: To allow the bottling of
distilled spirits in bond: to expedite the de-
livery of imported goods In parcels and pack
ages not exceeding SEQ in value; to pro-
vide for the registration Of trade marks on
bottles. barrels. corks and other 1recepta-
cles used In interstate. and foreign com-
merce; to incorporate the Ancient Society Of
Colonial Danes OF America: for the general
distribution Of condemned cannon by the
Secretary OF War and Secretary OF the
Navy; to compel the attendance OF witnesses

We do not believe that Mckinley would
favor the free-silver heresy il elected Presi-
dent, but our faith is rather in his party than
in himself. He is admittedly honest, but he
is not courageous. and the only hope of
maintaining national credit during his adj
ministrarion, II elected President, would be
in the absolute fidelity of the party tos.a
sound financial policy. We have reason to
believe that the party will maintain such a
policy. and for that reason and that alone.
there may be faith in Mckinley's fidelity
TO honest money.
But the country needs much more than
the election OF a President who Is likely,
or even reasonably certain, TO maintain with
scrupulous fidelity public and private credit.
There must be faith in the man who Is chos-
en- President that he viii establish credit
both at home and abroad, and that Is Why

tained. and which he must maintain II elecS-

Randolph crippen on Bailey.

An instructive interview with Ran
dolph Crippen, the Democratic candi-
date for mayor three years ago, is
printed on another page. In it Mr..
Crippen pays his respects to Mr.. Bailey,
the present Democratic nominee, who,
he declares. repaid Crippen's work for
him when he ran for prothonotary
against Clarence Z. Pryor by fighting
Crippen at the polls.
Inview Of that ingratitude on Bailey's
part, Mr.. Crippen thinks that he and
his friends are absolved from any duty
towards Bailey in the present canvass;
and his conclusion is manifestly a cor
rect one. Few crimes are comparable
with the political crime OF ingratitude.
The man who repays personal service
with personal opposition plainly lacks
one of the essentials of manliness. s'
We had supposed that Mr.. Bailey,
