The Quantity, Not the Ratio.
From the Chicago Times-Herald Qnd.)

We have more silver in the currency of
the country now than it has proved able
to carry. Let the minis be reopened TO
unlimited coinage of the inferior metal.
and no ratio win avert the inevitable
catas trophe. The unlimited coinage of
silver at any ratio is absolutely impossi-
BILE except by adoption of silver as the
standard to be followed by the total dis
exclusive silver basis. CARRYING the Irni-
ted States down from its present plane
of a hrst-class nation to that of India
China. Japan and Mexico. 1t makes no
difference what ratio is proposed. The
evil of the proposition is not in the ratio
but in the unlimited quantity Of silver to
be coined under any ratio. In the chaos
of unlimited coinage of silver even the
historic fact and the legal fiction of ra-
uos would be forgotten by the masses

gent, IN the fury caused by q deprecated

The TransvanI INCIDENT.

With the release by President Kruger
of the four members Of the johannesburg
reform committee, who were convicted Of
treason against the Transvaal republic
and sentenced to death. the recent Trans
vaal incident may be said to be about clos
ed-for the present. at least. The only act
wanting to the closing is the release of
DR.. Jameson, with or without fine, and
this is likely to take place shortly. 1t is
said plans are being formed to let him out
through loopholes Of the law, and there is
little reason to doubt that the plans will
be successful.
It win probably be years before the
truth of history will reveal the secrets of
the attempt of Col Rhodes and his fol-
lowers upon the Boer republic. It was
doubtless an attempt on the part of the
leaders of British South African affairs to
bring under the British flag the entire
country known as South Africa. The
Beers apparently realize that sooner or
later the Transvaal must pass into the
hands of the nationality that has already
absorbed by treaty or conquest the neigh
punishment of Rhodes. Hammond and the
others would have but fastened that
event. Had the leaders of the reform
committee been put to death, or had they
been consigned to prison for long terms,
there can be little doubt that her majes-
try's government would have exacted am
pie satisfaction" from the Boer govern
ment
From newspaper articles and the alleged
attitude of the German emperor, it might
| be supposed that the Beers are Germans
by descent The fact is that they are the
descendants of Hollanders and French
Huguenots, who, about 200 years ago,
sought refuge in far off South Africa from
wars and religious persecution. They do
not speak German, but have language OF
| their own, which is said to bear about the
same relation to Dutch as the southern
plantation negros lingo bears to the
English language. Theirs are the idioms
and language Of the Hollanders of the
| seventeenth century. unchanged except
| for the adding of words of local origin.
| These refugees have had very little or no
| connection with Europe since they left it,
| The war which Louis XIV of France and
| Charles II of England waged against the
Dutch was so fierce that they at one time
! proposed to leave Holland in a body, and
ships capable of carrying 100000 people
were constructed for that purpose. Such
dire straits as this drove the Honanders
| and Huguenots to South Africa; and more
or less similar prosecutions drove Puri-
tans, Huguenots and others from Eu-
| rope to settle on the Atlantic coast OF
America, from New England to the Caro-
| linas.

The Chicago Records correspondent at
ST. Louis says William Mckinley wrote
the platform Of the republican party
in 1884 and again in 1885, and that Mark
Hanna has now in his inside pocket an
other platform which Mckinley has
written for 1896. In that event, if Hanna's
pull holds out, all that the convention win
have to do will be to ratify what Hanna
and Mckinley have done, and go home.

points out that the place is a sinecure, and
that the person who accepts 1t need never

just as we'll and probably better. The vice

1t is interesting to hear that there are
populists enough in the Eleventh district
to hold a caucus and talk about a candi-
date against Congressman Turner. 1t is
more interesting, by the way. to know that
there are no populists in the democratic
party in the Eleventh district, to draw it
off in pursuit of jack-o'- lanterns, and that
when the election comes off the democra-
cy will pile up its old time majority.

A TrnuhIesome Plank.

The committee on resolutions at the st.
Louis convention is going to have trouble
with the monetary plank of the platform.
our dispatches this morning leave no
doubt that there is a radical difference of
opinion as to the wording of it. The east
ern delegates want an unmistakable de-
claration in favor of the gold standard
that is, they want the convention to de-
clare in favor of "the existing gold stan
dard" The western sound money
delegates, while protesting to
be fully as determined as the
eastern men to have a sound money plat
form, don't want the word gold" mem
toned Their reason for this is that there
is a prejudice against gold in the west,
and the use of the word gold" in the
platform might lose the party a great
many votes.
The eastern men do not accept this rea-
son as a good one. They insist that the
business interest of the country demand
that the word gold" shall be used so that
there will be no room for saying that the
currency plank is a straddle, and can be
made to mean either gold or silver.
1t looks now as if the matter would not
be settled in the committee on resolutions,
but would be carried into the convention.
In that event there would likely be a
very interesting discussion in which the
silverites would take part. 1t is we'll
known that they want clear declaration
in favor of gold, because such a declara-
ton would give them a better excuse for
boiling, Senator Teller is on record as
having said that he would not support a
gold standard candidate on a gold stan
dard platform, or on a platform of doubt
full import. He and the other silverites
want clear declaration in favor of eth
er gold or silver and as there is no prob
ability of a declaration in favor of silver
there isn't any reason to doubt that they
will bolt the convention whether the cur
rency declaration is for gold or is a strad-
die

rine Cushenberry, a colored woman,
died here today at the age Of 116 years.
Sne was born in Fauquier county,
Va, in 1850, and the records Of the
county show that in 1892, at the age
of u years, she was purchased by a
man named Craigen, living near
Moorefeld, in what is now West Eir-
ginia. She passed throu2h q number
of hands after that, until 1862, at
which time she was the property Of
Mrs. Sarah Dyer, of Pendleton coun-
ty, W. Va. Previous to that time
she had twelve children, and one Of
them, George Herbert, had purchased
his freedom and moved to this city.
In 1862, after long search, he located
his mother in Pendleton county and
purchase d her freedom for Sl25. She
has lived in this city ever since with
two of her sons. The whereabouts Of
all her other children are utterly un-
