ngyIfsT sILISM.

Senator Morrill,. of Vermont, said IN the
United states Senate on Saturday last
what Hon. W. c. whitney. OF New YORK.
said some time ago-that the trend OF
public opinion in Germany and Great
Britain favors tolerance OF the silver
question. A compromise substituting
free coinage by international agreement
for absolute free coinage is the road that
will lead us out OF our financial troubles.
Mr.. whitney is one Of the best-informed
men in the United States on this ques-
ton. Hear him:
II am a believer in gold and silver as
the metallic basis Of values and OF the
worlds currency, and | am confident that
within a time not far distant there WIZ
be a concurrence Of the nations upon that
subject by which the ratios OF values oil
the two metals for coinage and currency
purposes will be fixed. and the stability
of such values maintained by an inter-
national agreement"

CHICAGO.

Some of our exchanges say that in
the Chicago convention there will be
trouble as TO the two-thirds rule. We do
not see how there can be. The two-thirds
rule applies only to nominations for the
presidency; not TO the platform. Besides
the free-siver men will be so strong in
the Chicago convention that they will
have no difficulty in pleasing themselves
in the matter of rules as well as in the
matter Of nominations. And. above all,
nobody is going to try to adopt two
thirds rule in the Chicago conventions;
and all persons who are banking hopes
of any sort upon the assumption that the
Democrats will have a two-thirds rule in
their convention may as well dismiss all
such hopes. The die is cast. The Demo-
cratic platform is going to be adopted
by a majority vote, though it could easily
be adopted by two-thirds vote.

halation or ingestion. He also points out
the spread OF the Infection by Insects and
by milk or meat, making the following
statements:
Very curious experiments and re-
searches have shown that the contents
OF the abdomen OF flies that have been

tives contain a large quantity Of tuber-

with milk. and with the flesh Of tuber-
GUAR animals.
VERY exact experiments have shown
that the virulence OF such milk may last
a long time; that II can be detected after
a lapse OF ten days and that animal
incubation with cheese has given positive
results after eight months. In butter the
bacilli keep their vitality for six days,
but are harmless in twelve. The milk

The first actual clash of arms as the
result of the Anglo-Egyptan expedition
up the Nile occurred Sunday morning,
when the dervishes were surprised at
Firket and routed, losing. it is stated

muda, their commander. Firket is the
most northern point the deryshes have
occupied for years. and the possession Of
it by the Anglo-Egyptian forces ad-

will advance much farther south until

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The Republican National convention
will be held in st. Louis beginning on the
18th instant. All eyes are turned In that
direction owing TO the fact that MI. Nc
Klnley's friends seem to have secured
already so large a number OF the Gele-
gates that the st. Louis convention is
already called a mere ratification meeting
This paper has kept its readers posted
on this subject, and they cannot be sur
prlsed at the strength which Mr. Nc
Kinley's friends expect to manifest In
that body.
Each house Of Congress. and each house
OF every State Legislature in the land

sole Judge of the elections. qualifications.
and returns OF it's own members. We do
not understand how there can be
doubt that the st. Louis convention will
have the same right. Not that there is
any disposition on the part Of Mr. Nc
Kinleys friends to deny this right to that
body. We take IT for granted that there
viii be no question on this point.
Then as 10 the two-thirds rule. This
was a Wing rule in the beginning and
has always been n Wing rule or Demo-
cratic rule. 1t has never been adopted
by any other than Democratic national
conventions. and will. Of course, not be
adopted at ST. Louis. 1t was incorporated
into the rules governing Democratic ma
tional conventions as measure OF pro-
lection of the institution of slavery, or,
as some people VIII have II, because Gene
raj Jackson desired by it's use to defeat Mr..
Calhoun for the vice-presidency in 1872.
At any rate there will be no question
raised on this point by the Republican
National Convention TO meet next week
in st. Louis. No good Republican will
favor the two-thirds rule.
