NOT A FREE COINAGE SPEECH.
Carlisle Explains His utterances
of 1878.

LOUISVILLE. KY, May 17.-Sec-
rotary Carlisle has addressed a letter TO
Representative Johns. OF Prestonburg,
in which he answers the charge that his
speech in Congress on February 2. 1878,
was in advocacy OF free coinage. Mr..
Johns wrote to Mr.. Carlisle that this
speech was the chief argument used by
the Kentucky free-siiver men. Mr.. Car
Isle says he is not in favor Of free
coinage. and adds that the speech de-
livered In 1873 was IN favor Of a bill Of
fered in the House on November >. 1871,
and amended by Senator Beck, OF Ken
lucky, By a clause which struck out the
free coinage provision:
after a careful review Of this speech
OF 1913" Mr.. Carlisle writes, Il think
It would be a perfectly fair interpreta-
ton OF II 10 say:
"Flrst-That | was opposed to the free
coinage OF silver.
"Second-That / then believed the resto-
ration OF the standard silver dollar to the
coinage Of the United States and larger
use OF that metal i'm this country would
not only arrest its depreciation, but would
ultimately restore IT. to a parity with
gold, at the ratio OF l6 to /.
"Third-That when parity at that ratio
had been restored / was IN favor OF
coming both metals upon terms Of exact
equality.
"Fourth-That was opposed to the
total disuse Of silver as a legal-tender
money i'm this country.
"Fifth-That l was In favor Of an in
ternational monetary conference to con-
slider the adoption Of a common ratio be-
tween gold and silver for the purpose
of establishing the international use OF
bimetalic money. and securing fXity of
the relative value between those metals.
The letter will have great weight here.
and the sound-money men expect 1t to neu-
trallze the efforts Of the Blackburn men
to carry the State convention.

The city Democratic primary election
will take place OH Thursday, zist instant

June 9Th Each voting precinct here has
had its quota OF delegates apporhoned 10

Whether Richmohd is or is not to have
representative delegation AT stanton
depends very much upon the action OF
our businessmen. II they will come out
and vote. along with other Intelligent
Democrats. we may be sure that our
delegation will represent the best seni-
ment OF this community. u not not
An election can't be carried without
!, voters any more than battle can be
fought without soldiers. II orr business
men stay away from the primary polls
their influence will not be felt. III they
wish to help Richmond and their party
and the country they will have TO come
out and vote for re safest ana most
reliable men whose services can DC com
manded as delegates.
Considering the issues OF this campaign
the businessmen of Richmond ought TO
be leading in IT, not hanging back. Inc
excuse that many offer for their IN
difference will not hold good. 1t Is con-
ceded that the free silver and gold men
viii be pretty equally divided In our
national convention at Chicago on July
18th. but we take 1t that the nomination
will be made as usual by two-thirds
vote. and hence the man nominated must
BE acceptable to both wings Of our party.
Yes; we may make up our minds that
whoever is nominated by two-thirds
vote will be man whom all Of us may
cheerfully support. He may be compare
lively unknown. but he will be a safe
man.
Again, remember that the contest at
Stanton over the unit rule may have
important consequences. 1t may turn out
10 be n far more serious matter for
yirginians than who is to be Presi-
dent Of the United States So, help to
guide your party in the right direction.
Come out and help; don't sUlk.

MEAT AND MILK INSPECTIONS.

we commend TO the attention OF the
City Council the propriety OF taking
some action with reference 10 the IN
spection Of milk and cattle and
butchered meat offered for sale IN this
city.
The sellers as well as the buyers OF
milk and meat have an interest In this
ma ter. They ought TO come together
and cooperate in securing from the
Council such legislation as viii defend
dairymen and butchers from sensational
stories, and exaggerated fears. and as
will give to consumers that protection
which they deserve 10 have.
Year after year and time after time.
our city Board OF Health has recon'-
mended action OF this character. but
without effect. Now we believe the
Council will consider the subject thought
fully.
None but healthy cattle should be sold
here. These should be butchered in clean
slaughter-houses.
The clty's health record. we think, goes
to show that our butchers, as a rule.
have dealt fairly and honestly with the
public in the past, but being intelligent
men. they must see that the growth OF
Richmond and the knowledge Of the
benefit derived from inspections by other
communities will eventually result In
legislation requiring Inspections here.
This being the state Of the case, we
would advise them to cooperate with
their customers in a movement for such
practical and sensible municipal laws as
have been tested elsewhere, and found
advantageous to the general public
We give the same advice to the dairy
men as to the butchers. Already the
dairymen's business has been much in
terfered with, and customers are harder
to satisfy than ever before.
We know OF no remedy for this con-
dition of things short OF a system Of in
spections established by the city. and
put into the hands Of public officers who
will do their duty impartially between
sellers and buyers.

The New York Herald learns from
friends Of both Plat and Quay that the
fight of the antl-McKinley bosses against
the Mckinley bosses will go on more
fiercely this week than ever. Platt, Quay
and Clarkson, and all their allies, 1t IS
said, agree that the fight against Nc
Kinley has gone so far that there can
be no retreat. The radical interviews
which Mr. Platt gave out last week to
the New York papers had, previous 10
publication, been submitted to all the
other anti-McKinley leaders, and were
endorsed by them. So that they are all
committed to the view that the nominal
ton OF Mckinley would be calamity TO
the Republican party.
The opposition this week will continue
the examination OF McKinleys financial
record This will be attacked 50 vigor-
ously that ii is hoped the active antago-
nism Of prominent Republican bankers
and large investors will be enlisted.
1t seems to the Dispatch that Plat and
QUAY should have started this fight three
months ago. Then they might have
chased Mckinley from the field. II seems
too late to do that now, but the effect
OF their fight will probably be to force
the St. Louis convention to mount Nc
Kinley upon the strongest, tightest. and
completest gold-standard platform that
can be drawn. The truth is the Repub-
lcans of New York, Pennsylvania, and
New England will consent to nothing
else. SO, though Plat, Quay g. CO.
may not be able to defeat Mckinley,
they will almost surely compel the ST.
Louis convention to meet the currency
question squarely. and pass upon 1t de-
cisiveiy. This viii have to satisfy them,
as ii is not likely that Mckinley, If elect
ed President. will ask their aid in dis
tributing patronage.

wEYLER BRouGHT TO TAw..

If the New York HeraId's Habana cor
respondent is correctly Informed regard
ing what occurred between Consul-Gene-
raj Williams and Captain-General Wey-
Ter, Immediately after the trial OF the
Competitor prisoners. certain papers in
this country that have been accusing the
administration OF acting tmidly in the
crisis are very far out Of the way. Ac-
cording to the Herald's correspondent
Weyler told Mr.. Williams that If the
men had been convicted, as the latter
supposed, they would most certainly be
shot the following morning. despite any
protest the United States might make
TO this Mr.. Williams, who had received
full instructions from Washington. re-
piled:
"If you shoot them. my government in
structs me to close its consulate here. and
demand my passports, as we shall most
certainly hold you and your government
responsible should these prisoners be exc
cuted before our protest be giver due
consideration"
And this reply settled the business in a
hurry. When the Consul General left
the presence Of Weyler, great excitement
ensued at the palace. The president
and judges of the supreme civil tribunal
OF the island, the chairmen of the
leading conservative parties, and the
managing director OF the Spanish Bank
were called into consultation by the
General and Admiral Navarro, and the
result was that the execution was sus-
pended. Then orders came from Spain
to send all the documents to Madrid, but
it appears more than probable that, had
not this government acted 80 promptly
and peremptorily in dealing with Weyler,
the prisoners might have been executed
before Minister Taylor could have Sc
cured the interference of the Madrid
authorities.

NOT . UNIT ron A UNIT RULE.

IL Is to be observed that many OF the
free-slver counties decline to endorse
the unit rule. And they are right No
matter what other States have done-no
matter what the Democrats OF Virginia
did in ante-bellum days-our people can
not easily forget what occurred In this
city four years ago, when the Cleveland
men and the Hill men had one another
by the threats as 1t were. That State
convention, instead Of adopting the unit
rule and turning over Virginia's twenty
four delegates to Cleveland or Hill, went
so far in the other direction as to divide
the four delegates for the State at large
between the two factions. Who will say
that that was not a wise move? Who
regrets the conclatory disposition shown
then? The fact is, our party was on the
eve Of splitting, and that prudent and
brotherly policy saved it from the i'm
pending trouble.
Nobody asks that the Stanton conven-
ton shall divide the four delegates for
the State at large between the majority
and minority. All that Is asked Of the
convention is that it Will not undertake
TO deprive the opponents Of free coinage
of any delegates TO Chicago that they
may obtain in the congressional district
elections.
1t seems to us that the people are be-
ginning to see the injustice and impolicy
of changing the rule that has served us
50 long and we'll Let the convention
elect the four delegates-at-large. and let
the delegates from each congressional dis
trict, when assembled at Stanton, choose
the two delegates that the district Is en-
titled to-

The results Of the county conven-
tons which have been held i'm Vir-
ginia 10 appoint dele gates TO the
Democratic State Convention, which is
to meet in Staunton In June, clearly
indicate that the silver men will con-
troll in that body. 1t is not so clear that
the unit rule will be adopted. But APP
pearances point to the success of that
policy, as well. Especially Is this
plausible. view OF II, when II is remem-
bered that Senator Daniel will lead the
silver forces, and also urge the adoption
of the unit rule. 1t is stated in the
papers that Senator Martin does not favor
free silver and this sentiment is sup
ported by one or two votes he has cast
i'm the Senate. But Mr.. Martin Is not
as well known west of the Ridge as Sena-
tor Daniel, nor has he the personal in
fiuence i'm the State that Senator Daniel
has. How far this will affect the action
OF delegates on an important question
OF party policy we cannot say. We may
expect, anyhow. considerable attrition
In the convention between the two wings
OF the party. If not a stormy discussion.
We have heard no intmations of bolt
from either side. and presume the diff
ference between them will not reach that
extreme. Senator Martin has the repu-
tation of being a sagacious and per
sistent worker. and splendid organizer
Whether he will be able to stem the free

a question 1t will be a battle OF the
