WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Ambassador
Eustis has been instructed to accept the
offer Of the French government to
release ex- United States Consul Waller
from further imprisonment, and par
don his offense on condition that the
affair be terminated as between France
and the United States, and that the
latter make no claim i'll behalf Of the
prisoner based on his arrest, con-
viction or imprisonment. Waller may,
however, sue in the French courts

facts, showing the amicable termi-
nation of the celebrated Waller
incident, appear in the correspondence
sent to both houses Of congress by the
president, in answer to resolution OF
inquiry upon the subjact.
Secretary Olney says there is no
doubt whatever OF Walters guilt; that

CARL scHuRz as i DEMAcocuE.

For many years Carl Schurz has been
recognized and acknowledged as first
class crank. But his crankiness was
never in finer form than during the
present canpaign; it may be said to
have reached its zenith. He spoke at
Indianapolis Saturday night And
what an absurd speech he made!
Among other things he said: Should
national misfortune come upon US
such as the election of Bryan, you
would see the holders of bonds rushing
in upon the national treasury for the
redemption OF their securities. The
supply of gold would rapidly become
exhausted, and as a nation we would
be at once launched upon the unknown
sea of free coinage in a rudderless
ship and go drifting steadily on the
breakers of broken credit and bank
ruptcy."
And the man who utters such absurd
stuff as this was secretary of the in
terror during President Hayes admin
istrasion Such gross ignorance of the
operations of the treasury department
is rarely displayed by the most poorly
informed campaign speaker as is here
displayed by an ex-cabinet officer.
MIR. Schurz Informed his hearers that
in the event of Mr.. Bryan's election the
people would see the holders of bonds
rushing in upon the national treasury
for the redemption CT their securities.
Presumably he meant government
bonds; he could scarcely have intended
to convey the impression that the
United States treasury undertakes to
redeem the bonds OF the different states
or of private corporations. He con-
veyed the idea to his hearers that
government bonds are demand obliga-
tions TO be paid upon presentation. If
he does not know better it is a disgrace
to him; if he does know better it is a !
disgrace to him that he should give !
out any SUCH impression. The view |
he put forth is as false as false can be.
Government bonds become due at /
stated periods, and not at any time the I
holders may choose to have them be- |
come due. Mr. Bryan's election would |
not cause them to become due one mo- |
ment earlier than would Major Nc
Kinley's election. The time when they
shall become due is nominated in the
bond When they become due they
viii be paid.
Carl schurz deliberately told false
hood for the purpose of creating alarm
among his hearers and to thereby pre-
JUDGE their minds SO that they would
vote against Mr.. Bryan. A deliberate
lie cannot be made to pass fer legiti-
mate argument. and no campaign ext
gency can justify it, Carl Schurz has
proclaimed himself low demagogue
with no regard for truth.

DISHONEST onaras.

Eastern papers are daily publishing
the results of the postal card ballot
being conducted by the Chicago Rec
crd. The figures are printed under
! haring headlines, being given as much
prominence as though they correctly
reflected the sentiment prevailing
/ among the people where they originate.
The purpose is TO create an impression
that Mckinley leads Bryan about
four to one; and this is wretchedly
dishonest, in view of the fact that the
silver men are not participating in the
ballot. tBryan'g supporters, except
ing in isolated cases, have been too
shrewd to walk into the scheme. This
is known everywhere, as the ballot
has been denounced and silver men
warned against it by the Democratic
authorities and by Democratic papers.
Notwithstanding the VIGOROUSLY one
sided character of the ballot. there is
no doubt that mu1titudes of readers of
eastern papers believe the figures fur
nished. 1t is ons of the visionary
foundations upon which the claims Of
LIZ ANCPObiASdA ikleLidfsSES dTS Dultl,
and If the Mckinley men have nothing
better TO support their faith they will
be sadly disappointed when the real
ballots are counted
1t is possible that Hanna has good
ground for believing he will win; but
ii is manifest that he is encouraging
his followers with falsehoods.
figures of this straw ballot is only one
of the evidences of Republican dispo-
sition to deceive the people. The claims
made respecting some of the western
states are absurd, but there is 40
doubt that they serve the purpose OF
imposition among people who do not
know differently. Hanna announces.
for instance that he has hopes for
Utah; and another bulletin puts Idaho
in the doubtful column. All this is in
tended for eastern consumption only, /
but it is not honest.
