THE RHODE ISLAND DEMOCRATS.

We have all along kept our readers
informed as TO the silver creed of the
New England Democrats. At their
State convention Of Tuesday, the Rhode
Island Democrats declared as follows:
1T is vital to the interests Of our
people that there should be no departure
from the gold standard, TO which all
money, whether gold, silver, or paper,
should conform; and we are opposed TO
the free coinage OF silver until at least
four of the great Powers Of the Western
world shall come to an international
agreement. establishing the ratio at
which gold and silver shall be admitted
to mintage."
The cause of international bimetallism
or an international agreement fixing the
free coinage ratio grows daily In popu-
larity. Here are the Democrats of Rhode
Island declaring that an agreement be-
tween four OF the great Powers Of the
Western word will enable all the ma
lions of the earth to go on with their
financial operations. Such an agreement
would end all the financial troubles
which now disturb the whole civilized
world

RARON DE HIRSCH.

The world could III afford to lose Baron
Maurice de Hirsch, the financier and phi
lanthropist, who died in Hungary Mon
day night AS benefactor of his own
race, no name of the age deserves TO
rank with his, save that of Sir Moses
Monteflore. But, like Sir Moses, his
charities were not bestowed entirely upon
his own people. All men in distress
were his brothers. If he gave more to
relieve the sufferings OF the Jews than
I'm other directions, 1t was because, as he
said, their condition In certain countries
called more strenuously for relief than
did the condition OF any other people.
The catholicity of the spirit Of
charity that animated him may be
, judged from the fact that he offered sl0.-
100000 to the Russian Government to be
used in public instruction, on condition
that no distinction be made between
creed and race in proiting by its ex-
penditure. This offer. however. the Rus
sian Government declined.
Baron de Hirsch married a lady whose
dowry was $50. 600 0O0.' and she proved her.
self heart and soul with him in his
magnificent charitable enterprises. 1t is
estimated that he gave away nearly his
entire income, amounting to from SIS
100000 to s2o.OcooOO. His motto was that
men who have wealth are responsible
20 mankind for its proper use. and he
lived up to that motto in manner that
oopatituted him a nobla exampla for all
upon whom fortune has smiled.

CATTLE IN proves.


We do not blame the residents o!
CANDLES Hill for complaining about tne
proximity TO their homes OF railroad
cattlc-yard: but, II the city will not COM
rel the establishment OF a union stock
yard. the railroad must have a yard at
the foot of CANDLES Hill, or somewhere
else In the city. We take II for granted
that the people OF CANDLES I'M Will be
satisfied IL the yard be put somewhere
else" Every railroad company coming
into Richmond must arrange q yard to
hold cattle until they are inspected-that
Is TO say they must do this for them
selves, until corporate enterprise estab'
fishes a union stock-yard.
The inspection Of cattle, now required
by the United States Government,
makes It more than ever imperative that
Richmond should furnish herself with a
stock-yard. as other cities have done, or
are doing. We cannot go on in the old
way, without making the work Of in
spection here unnecessarily troublesome,
and without seeing railroad cattle-yards
Yes: the time is coming when we shall
have to face this question squarely;
meantime, we should like to see all pos
sible relief afforded the CANDLES Hill
people. The health, cleanliness. and
convenience OF the city demand that, in
stead Of many cattle-yards. there should
be but one. and that this one should be
properly equipped and carefully inspect
ed.
The Dispatch has heretofore shown that
fairly and unnecessarily punished by
reason OF the fact that their streets have
been made routes along which great
numbers OF hogs, sheep, and beeves are
regularly driven from the railroad sta
tons to the slaughter-pens. Sometimes
these droves are driven through the
streets on Sunday mornings. when chill
dren and adults are on their way to Sun
day school or church. And 1t happens
too, that sometimes beeves get unruly
and tear up and down the sidewalks to
the great terror Of women and children
OF course, alsI we have a union stock
yard, into which all railroad trains may
run, cattle will have to be driven
through the streets; but II Is an un'
just discrimination that few streets
should be selected as the routes of the
drovers, when the nuisance might be
distributed over many streets, and thus
not fall severely upon any one street
Inesmuch as the nuisance cannot be
wholly abated at once, let the drovers be
made to vary their routes, so that par
ticular section shall not bear the bur
den of annoyance that might be distri.
buted over several sections.
If we mistake not, the Richmond
public will soon awake to the fact that
our city is about twenty years behind
most American cities in dealing with
cattle. Ultimately, we shall be com
PEELED to have a union stock-yard, and
there's no use in lodging or delaying the
matter.
II proper legislation were obtained, nc
doubt capital could be obtained to es
tablish the yard. But, while We are
getting ready to establish the union yard
let something be done for the relief
of those nefghborhoods which are now un'
necessarily victimized as routes for al
droves of hogs and bceves going from
railroad stations to the slaughter-pens.

and yet 1t submits Its conclusions with
some difiidence. knowing that its iabors

Some mitigation to the burden or

up may be found In the roll-cail OF our

OF actual income to meet present need,
a condition In which our assets bring us
no real relief. but an additional charge
to carry.

We shall continue 10 do so must depend
