The free silver argument has ha
two strong reinforcements this weeI
in the conversion of two eminent bi
metalists-who had before insisted OF
international action as the only tru
solution. to the belief that the United
States can safely take the lead alon,
and that she ought to do it. The frs
is Henri Cernuschi, the father of bi
metalism' AS he was called, aud Ger
tainly the foremost in Europe in the
agitation for it, who Just before his
death last spring, left paper, only
! just published, in which he said il he
were an American he would join the
silver extremists, because it had be-
come evident England was not disposed
for the present to overlook her selfish
interests as a creditor country in an
approaching gold standard He add.
ed:
From a theoretical point of view, the
free coinage of silver at 16 to |, re es-
tablished by the United States with
out the concurrence of Europe would
be vicious solution, but it would
nevertheless be step in the direc
ton of international bimetalism for,
under the regime of the new standard
the productive power of the United
States would receive so enormous an
impulse, and this development would
have such disastrous effect upon the
economic and financial interests of
England and the other European ma.
tious now governed by the gold stand

in advance that the course of events
would force the adoption of interna-
tlonal bimetallism as the only true so
luton, even upon those who today
deny the possibility and efficacy of

Nj. Cernuschi thus comedies that
the effect of free coinage would be to
drive gold out of circulation. But
President Andrews of Brown Univer
sity, president of the bimetallic league
of Boston, formed to influence Euro
pean opinion, and who was one of our
representatives. at the last information
al conference, announces himself for
free coinage for just the opposite rea
son. He says:
The vast new output of COLA in re-
cent years, as compared with that of |
silver impresses me that free coinage |
by us alone would not lead to the dis. |
placement of our gold; that. there
fore, free coinage would be safe If it
is safe, it is certainly desirable. OF
no enc can be absolutely Ger
tain that we could proceed with silver
free coinage and yet retain our gold. !
therefore do not dogmatize, but leave
hat to the gold men. To mysmind,
however, the overwhelming probability
IS that gold would stay with us.

 Gazette of Sunday morning makes a very vehement, vociierous roar
 against the management of the com pSny for granting the request Of the pienickers by giving them their stock cars, and also complains be- cause the entire management of the road was not present to attend to business which very clearly de- volved on those having the picnic in charge. The Gazette started in to give, as it said, a friendly crit icism of the road, but as the writer proceeded he seemed to warm up to the occasion and ended with an over done roast of nearly every one con nected with it. or the failure oithe company to order a lot of Pullman cars for this one cent mile ride the JoURNAL-MNER has no defense to offer but when the Gazette says, "We don't care if all the officers do live in Prescott, it would, we think, bs only proper for an occasional official to stop otf a day or SO in this city and give little attention to the needs and desires of our people it does what it certainly must know is an injustice to the management of the road, as 1t is a we'll known fact to everybody, unless the Gazette editor is excepted, that the three highest officials, in the active man sgement of the road, put in more time in Phenix than they do in Prescott.

IT. the discussion of presidential candidates the anti-Mchinleyites oi the east accuse Mckinley of being a free silver man, and the anlis of the west accuse him of being opposed to the free coinage of silver. In a re cent article m the PheniX Gazette on this question our esteemed dem oeratic contemporary of PneniX pro pounds and answers a question as follows:
 "Is there no recourse? None but ths nomination of a free silver Tar, tried and true, on lb to l platform at Chicago, then a political revolG- ton would bs inaugGrated and like the rush ol hurricane, the seuti- men; would be embraced by the west and south and the noble cause so forw ard,,d that their boasted Ma poleon would meet his Waterloo next November. This IS the one and only hope of succor."

 The hope of the people in this matter lies more with congress than with any president that may be elected.
