me anarreI Of the Booths.

The south hasn't much interest in the
quarrel OF the Booths-the general and
his SON BaIlinEton-but the New York and
Chicago papers are fun OF ii. In each
OF those cities there are thousands
of people who are connected eth
er directly or indirectly with the
Salvation Army, the organization Of
which Gen. Booth IS the head,
and OF which Ballington Booth was the
commander in this country. or with the
American Volunteers, Of which Balling-
ton Booth is the head. he having severed
his connection with the Salvation Army.
II is remarkable that the once despised
Salvation Army should attract so much
attention. Il was a long time after its
establishment IN this country before il
was received with anything like favor.
It is probable that it would not now be
known outside OF the sIums Of the cities
II it had not been for Mrs. Ballington
Booth. She is a woman Of great refine
ment and much personal beauty. Soon
after she entered the Salvation Army and
began 10 take a leading part in its work
people Of social position and wealth be-
gan to notice the organization, to take
part in its meetings and to contribute
money to its support. As a result, the
Salvation Army fiourished. II became re-
spectacle and comparatively rich. In
New York and Chicago it was the pop
ular thing to show an interest in the SAL
walton Army.
Old Gen Booth. who has his headquar-
tiers in London. and who is the head
of the organization. heard that his son
and wife were fiourish!ng, and on visit
ing terms with people who lived in brown
stone houses and kept their carriages. He
thought probably that Commander Bal
lington Booth and his pretty wife were
getting above their station and their call
ing, and so he ordered them to England,
the American branch of the army in
the meantime was to be conducted by
another commander.
Commander Booth refused to obey. His
American friends told him not to obey.
but TO rebel. He took their advice and
established what IS called the order of
the American Volunteers. 1t is pretty safe
to say that Commander Booth and his
charming wife will not have the same
measure of success which attended their
efforts when they controlled the Saliva
ton Army. The slum part of the army
has remained under Gen. Booth. Only
the element that wears good clothes has
followed Darlington Booth and his wife
into the new organization-the American
Volunteers. The Volunteers will have
plenty of money to carry on their work,
but the spirit that made the Salvation
Army a success is wanting.
Did Commander Balllngton Booth do
right in refusing to obey the order of
his father. Gen. Booth? That is the ques-
ton that is now agitating Salvation Army
circles. In regard to it, there is a great
difference of opinion. There is not much
room for doubt. however. that it would
have been better for the American Sal
walton Army if Commander Booth had
obeyed his father,

An Un.atI.factory Candidate.

a few days ago the Morning News. in
speaking Of Col William r. Morrison as
a candidate for the democratic presidential
nomination. said that it was not known
what 8Ir llorrls0n's position on the sill
yer question was. he having been discreet
ly silent on that subject for a long time.
a day or Two ago Mr.. Morrison expressed
his views in respect 70 silver in an inter-
view Ia what he said he endeavored 10
please both the sound money men and the
silver mouometallisis- He said. in effect
that he is against the unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio Of I6 TO 1 without an in
ternational agreement At the same time
he does not favor the gold standard. His
idea is ITO continue the use Of both gold
and silver as standard money" The in
ference from this is that while he is
against unlimited silver coinage he would
not veto a bill authorizing it if he were
President.
Mr.. Morrison's non-committal attitude on
the silver question does not please either
faction, and, as we stated some days ago,
the only chance for his nomination is in
situation IN the national convention which
would make the choosing of a compromise
candidate advisable.
As is well known Col. Morrison loses no
opportunity to attack the administration.
Therefore In the interview in question he
attempted to answer some portions of
Mr.. Carlisle's Chicago speech. He ad-
mitted that Mexico and japan have a de-
preciated currency just as this country
would have if it opened its minis to I'M
limited silver coinage. and he also ad-
mitted that a deprecated currency would
be bad thing for wage-earners. but he
insisted that both Mexico and Japan are
prosperous. Notwithstanding their depre-
ciated currency. He said he was inclined
to think that Mr.. Carlisle. in speaking Of
Mexico and Japan had not stated the case
fairly.
But If Mr. Morrison thinks that Japan is
satisfied with her deprecated silver cur
rency, why is it that she is, like Russia,
making extensive preparations to get on
a gold basis? The reason is apparent.
She finds that a deprecated and fiuctuat-
ing currency greatly retards her progress.
If Col. Morrison had been more anxious
to get the exact truth before the public
than to attack Mr.. Carlisle he would
have made no reference to Japan, because,
as Japan is seeking the gold standard, 1t
is evident that her experience with the sill
yer standard is not at all satisfactory.
We hardly think the Chicago convention
will extend call to Col Morrison. If he
is listening for a call from it the chances
are that he will be disappointed,

The Unit Rule in Alabama.

The democratic convention of Alabama
made a mistake IN adopting the unit
rule More than a third of the conven-
ton was for sound money ana we have
no doubt that if the bars had not been
let down SO that. the popullsts could vote
for Capt. Johnston and silver nonomet-
allism, a majority of the convention would
have been for sound money. The silver
monome tallists, however, were doubtless
directed in the course they pursued by
the silver mOnometallist junto at Wash
ington that is directing the campaign for
delegates to the national democratic con-
ventioE
If we are not mistaken, it was planned
long ago that the unit rule should be
adopted in all states in which the silver
monometaIists gained control of the state
conventions. We shall not be surprised
if in this state an effort is made to
adopt the unit rule if the silver mono
metallists have a majority in the conven-
ton. We believe that is their programme.
The sound money men in every county
should organize and make a persistent
fight for the control of the convention.
They can elect majority of the dele
gates. and if they should do so they
should give the silver monometallists a
dose of their own medicine
In Alabama the sound money men came
very near carrying a sufficient number of
counties to control the convention. A
little more effort on their part would
have given them the victory. If Gov.
Oates had been leading the sound money
forces, we have no doubt that he would
have triumphed over the silver monomet-
allists.
The course pursued by the silver mono
metallists in Alabama is a warning TO
the sound money men in this state. If
they want Georgia to stand for sound
money in the national convention they
must do some earnesh practical work

From the New York Tribune (Rep.)

There is no denying that the House of
Representatives has made a fine record
in the transaction of its business. Yes
terday the last of the general appropria-
ton bills was passed, although it is barely
four months since the committees were
named by Speaker Reed. If an early ad-
journment Is not taken IL will not be
the fault of the House. And there is no
reason so far as the public business is
concerned why the Senate should show
disposition to prolong the session. A
short session is invariably a creditable
session. There is a splendid chance to
make the present session brief. Why
should the "deliberative branch" insist on

4 Plea for Mckinley.

Gov McKinleys New York organ under
takes to show that he is as sound on the
money question as any other man in public
life. 1t says that it may be assumed that
Gov. Mckinley, in common with most wes-
tern men, held the view for quite awhile
after the silver agitation began that the
unlimited coinage of silver would raise
the price of silver so that gold and silver
coins would circulate on a parity. This
view was held before the production of
silver became so immense as to make it
practically impossible to raise the price
of silver by unlimited coinage or in any
other way to such extent that the COM
mercial ratio of gold and silver would be
16 to l.
Gov. McKinIey's organ says that he has
become convinced that unlimited silver
coinage would result in silver monomet-
allism, and that therefore he believes in
maintaining the present standard.
1t is becoming daily more evident that
unless Gov Mckinley removes all doubt
as to his position on the money question he
won't get the St. Louis nomination. All of
the republican state conventions that have
thus far acted, with. perhaps, one or two
exceptions. have adopted strong sound
money resolutions. The number of silver
ties in the st. Louis convention will be so
small as to have no influence in that body.
and no man who is not thoroughly sound
on the money question will stand a chance
of getting the nomination.
Gov McKinleys friends are beginning
to understand this and that is why they
are making an effort to show that what
ever opinions he may have held in
the past on the silver question he is now
firmly opposed to any legislation in the di-
reetion of unlimited SILVER coinage
