ton, had walk over TO the White
House. Up to that time there
was no absolute certainty what the
Chicago convention would do. The
air was full of rumors; speculation
was rife; gold men were as much
talked of as silver men in connection
with the coming nomination; a strad-
die, a compromise, a gold plank, wer
all within the range Of possibility and
probability. The one who really preach
ed what took place would have been
called a false prophet by two-thirds
of the Democratic party. The signs
indicated tariff rather than a silver
campaign. But since the Chicago
convention, If we may Judge by such
papers rs the Chicago Times Herald
and the utterances Of DR.. jameson, the
state committeeman Of Illinois it will
require hard work to elect Mckinley.
He will need all the votes he can get
even from gold Democrats to elect
him. If elected it will be as the rep
resentatiye Of the gold standard and
the national credit, rather than as the
apostle of protection. Our point is,
however, what has changed this con
lidence, which was SO strong before
the Chicago convention, into feeling
OF unrest and uncertainty ? What
has in iected this doubt into the cam
paign, and changed the big boast into
Il very modest one, If not the money
question This Is, we say, the main,
and the only question and issue. The
Chicago convention has forced this
upon the country. This must be set
tied first. Then we will talk about
the tariff. 1t Is folly to try to ignore
it or to send It to the rear, or side
track it. Between Mckinley and gold
Democrat there Is no difference except
In degree; not in kind. But between
the gold Democrats and the silvermen
the difference Is not in degree but in
kind. Upon the great issue, there Is
no possible agreement among them.
The differences greater than that which
split the Democratic party in 1860.
A gold man or silver man might
stand on protection or a free trade
platform; but no platform is wide
enough for II to man and gold
man to stand on together; one or the
other must be kicked off. This can
only come in the acceptable year
when ''the lion aud the lamb shall lie
down together, and II little child shall
lead them" This might be far off,
and will not come In November 1896.
We may be wrong, but we have a
suspicion that all these Republicans
who side track silver are not sound on
the money question, and they should
follow Teller, if there was more in
him than in Mckinley and his election.
II may be their hope to have protec
ton and free silver, by Keeping silver
on the side track

1t Is well to remember that majority
rights are not absolute. MaJorities
cannot make wrong right, nor make
right wrong. A majority may deter
mine matters of discipline, and insist
upon reasonable obedience on the part
of the minority, but 1t cannot change
principles. If 1t would have been un-
just, and dangerous to the welfare of
the country, before the Chicago CON
vention was held, to coin silver at the
false ratio of IL to !, 1t is unj ust and
dangerous still; and he who SO believes
and places patriotism above the inter
ests of party presents the highest type
Of citizenship. When disloyalty to
party means loyalty to country the
party blame rests not with the minor
ity but with the majority, which has
tramplcd not only right principles Of
government but the rights of the
minority under It's loet.

Congressional Nominations.

Whatever may b. the result If the
next presidential election there should
be no doubt about the congressional

DISAGREEABLE PLACE.
The President Will Not Be in an
Enviable Position.

WASHINGTON, Feb. rs. 1t is understood
that the probable action OF Congress In
respect to the Cuban resolution, pending
in both houses, absorbed the attention OF
cabinet at today's meeting. In view of
the posit ion taken heretofore by the Pres
ident and the Secretary of State, and
which there is no reason to suppose they
have abandoned toward all propositions
10 recognize the belligerency OF the in
surgents, TO instruct the Senate commit
tee on foreign relations TO express the
sentiments and wishes OF Congress in the
form OF concurrent resolution inst ad
of shaping it as a joint resolution, has
given much qualification to the admins
tration IL the President were to be con-
fronted with joint resolution at this
tine, recognizing the belligerency of the
insurgents and even the independence of
the rebels, he would be pleced In very
disagreeaole position. III he approved the
resolution 1t would be a confession that
the course pursued by our government
toward Cuba and Spain up To this time
had been wrong, for it is insisted that
there has been no change in the relations
OF the par,ie to the warfare in Cuba that
would warrant any change in our atti-
tude.
II also would amount to a reversal OF
the position taken by our state depart
me mt in defiance of some OF the great
European powers during the Br lillian in
surrection, when we insisted that as n
precedent to- recognition The insurgents
must have a seat of GpEefnment, must
issue money-endSnlust hAV&Bpavy, for at
least two of these requ isitessre lacking in
the case of the present insurrection. On
the other hand IL he vetoed joint resolu-
tion of this character, the President
would be obliged probably to face storm
of popu ar disapproval and to make an
issue withCongress that might te aught
with the gravest consequences, for IL is
realized tha tn resolution in that case
would be passed over his veto. But, by
making the resolution simple concur
rent one, the President viii be relieved
of the necessity of announcing decision
at this time. He can regard the resolu-
tion as a simple expression of the senti
ment of Congress and as not binding upon
the executive branch as would
be the result with a joint resolution
which has all the force of an act.

An Important Record
Placed on File.
It Clears Up a Complication of
Fifteen Years Standing.

In the Office OF the town clerk Of Johns
ton a duly acknowledged receipt given by
Eliza M. Alverson, releasing the right OF
dover in and to the estate OF Nelson ID.
Alverson, was recorded yesterday.
The receipt is dated Dec. Is, 1879, but
was not acknowledged until two days
ago. 1t is very meager piece of paper,
but the acknowledgment and record of it
is highly important to the owners Of lots
on the N. ID. Alverson plat In the town
OF Johnston. The failure TO have IL re-
corded left the purchasers without per-
feet tile. For a number of ye RS II appears
by the records that the right OF dover was
not released and since the discovery of the
paper now placed upon record the matter
has been on the verge OF being thrown
into the courts in equity, but was finally
amicably adjusted anu the document
acknowledged and Is now on record.
