THE Columbus Democrat gives its
party warning on the silver question
in the following language:
Whereas there seems to be some
thing OF a tendency to the worship of
strange financial gods developing in
the ranks Of the Democratic party,
and whereas there are grave appre-
tensions that The controlllngs spirit of
the approaching National Democrat
ic convention will be possessed of an
insane desire to PROSTATE the party
and nation before the free silver
iuggernaut, it is reluctantly predicted
by every loyal patriot and honest
member OF the party: that should
such tendencies to silver calf worship
govern the action Of the party in con-
vention assembled as it shall stand
committed to "ways that are dark
and tricks that are vain," when the
clouds of the war of ballots'in Novem-
Der next shall have cleard away, its
banner will be found trailing in the
dust of ignominious defeat. And don't
you forget it

ii holder of silver could take it to

OF free coinage favor law that will
allow any holder of silver bullion, or
in fact silver of any kind Gas the la5-

to have the right to take the same to
any mint of the United States and
convert it into silver coin free of

were done it would not be long with
free coinage, before the country would
be flooded with silver coins and the
very large profit to the owners Of
silver mines would quickly start to
work mines at present idle, to the
immense advantage of the mine

Considerable trouble has arisen
over the passage of a plumbers ordi
nance lately by the common council.
The ordinance prescribes the rights
and restrictions Of plumbers, and pro-
vides for their licenses and bonds, and
instead of being applicable to the firms
in such line of business. deals with the
skilled journeymen, it being so in
terpreted that tie license of $40
per annum must be paid for every
journeyman plumber employed by
the several firms and the bond
of $4,000 be also furnished for
them. The employing firms think the
ordinance should be so drafted as to
place the license and bond on them
selves and make them the responsible
parties, instead Of their employees.
Under the regulations of the ordinance
the firms are palpably at the mercy Of
their employees, and a firm not COM
posed of practical plumbers cannot be
licensed. Wednesday evening last
special meeting of the common council
was held to talk over this matter and the
Committee on judiciary was ordered
to draft new ordinance, pending the
adoption of which the Board of Public
for making water connections to the
several plum bing firms of the city.
