The members Of the legislature have now
before them basis upon which to build
for the establishment of a state reforma-
tory for juvenile criminals. The Boifueil-
let bill may, or may not. be such meas
it will afford an opportunity for the dis
cussion of the matter, which in turn may
have the effect of evolving a scheme that
will meet all requirements. The legisla-
ture will have no more important matter
before it at this session than this reform
atory problem.

Elections in the south.
HNV'IV1" ~
From the Baltimore Sun Dem).

II in every state in the south where the
reform has not already been instituted a
constitutional amendment were adopted
minimizing the strength and influence OF
the ignorant and corrupt vote, the neces-
sity for fraud in the interest Of good gov
eminent would no longer exist. ana the
right Of suffrage would be limited to a
class OF citizens whose decisions on any
public issue could be respected. Unless this
is done, however, the elections in every
southern state in which there is large
negro population will be tainted with the
suspicion of fraud even though no i'm
proper methods may be employed, while
public morals must necessarily suffer when
assaults upon the integrity Of the ballot
box are defended on the ground OF the
public interest.

1t appears that the Chicago Times-Her-
aid, which took to the woods" on the
nominations of both Altgeld and Tanner
for the governorship, will presently have
to seek tall timber again, on the matter

Telegraphic reports show that the biz
gard in the northwest, which is working
It's way south. has grown TO be pretty Sc
rious affair. Numerous instances Of loss
OF life have been reported. 1t is not likely
that the wave will be of such intensity
when it reaches the South Atlantic section.
II is to be hoped it will not at all events,
for the exceptionally warm weather dur
ing the past week has probably had the
effect of raising sap in the fruit trees. In
that case. severe cold snap would be like
ly TO DO considerable damage.

The proposition to permit each United
States senator to nominate one cadet for
West Point, if carried into effect, would
increase the number of cadets in the aca-
deny by ninety. 1t would also in
crease the amount of desirable patronage
in the hands of each senator. SO far as
the country knows. there is no demand
for additional West Point graduates just
now, nor is there likely to be for some
time. 1t was stated upon authority only
a short time ago that there was consid-
cradle difficulty in finding places for all
of the graduates now being turned out by
the school. A number OF graduates are
believed to be at this time on waiting or
ders. Such being the case. what is the
use Of still further increasing the num-
Der? The West Point academy is a mag
niheent institution, and the whole country
is proud Of it. But, having a very small
army, OF the officers of which Few die
and none resign" there is no demand for
a great number of men Of high military
training, acquired at the public expense.

sadly mistaken. Senator Brice has always

Gratitude, thy name is mud. After the

1t is possible that the outraged SENSIBLE
tiles Of the missionaries in Armenia, and
their enthusiasm in the cause Of the sup
preston of the sultan, have led them to
color their reports just bit too highly;
probably not Intentionally, but with the
effect of putting this government in a
false light before the people in the matter
of its efforts to protect Americans in the
sultan's realm. The state department at
Washington has official. and therefore au-
thentic, reports from the districts. These
reports deal only with facts, uncolored by
any expression of opinion. Secretary Oh
ney draws upon these reports, in his state
ment published in the Morning News yes
terday. and shows that Americans have
been accorded rather better treatment in
the sultans country than the citizens of
other countries.

At last the bushel of wheat and the
gold dollar have shaken hands upon an
even footing. At Toledo, O., according to
the Morning News dispatches yesterday,
the market price of May wheat on Sat
urday was 81 a bushel, with the spot
price only one cent lower. During the
past week wheat several times rubbed
up pretty close to the dollar mark. In
New York on Thursday, No. 2 red, the
standard grade, was quoted cash, free on
board, at 991a cents. In Chicago on the
same day, May options sold up to ssh. On
Friday in New York spot wheat sold at
98A, and in Chicago May options were
quoted at S57s. Bar silver was worth in
New York on Friday, 65ls cents per ounce
1t would have taken nearly an ounce and
a half of silver to buy a bushel of wheat.

ST, LOTS, June 15-The Minnesota
delegation this morning came out strong
for declaration for the maintenance of

a straight gold plank, and pledged IS
votes Of the delegation IN the conven-
tion to stand by him 10 the end. Repre-
sentative Charles A. Yowne, of Mime

delegates, and openly declares that in
case gold plank is placed III the plat

ST. LoU1s, June lJ.-The money plank
of the platform has been agreed upon.
II is victory for the middle west, but it
is perfectly satisfactory to the extreme
east, The New England contingent,
headed by Senator Lodge of Mas
sachusetts ard backed by the Patt and
Quay forces in New York and Pennsyl-
yania, urged the adoption of short
emphatic dec aratiuo. and their plank
was finally formulated at a conference
held last night. The plank was, "We
favor the maintenanca Of the existing
gold standard, ard are opposed to the
free coinage OF silver except by inter
national agreement for bimetallism with
the leading commercial nations Of the
world"
This did not suit the middle west and
they evolved the following, which has
bo'n accepted and viii be presented to
the committee on resolutions by Fora
akcr: 'The republican party is unrc
scrvodly for sound money IT caused
the enactment Of the law providing for
the resumption Of specie payments in
1873; since then every dollar has been
as good as gold, We are unaltcrabIy
opposed to any measure calculated TO
dehasc oar currency or impair the credit
OF our country We are, therefore, op-
posed to the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver except by International agree
mfnt, which we favor, and until such an
agreement can be obtained. the existing
gold standard should he preserved. We
favor the use Of silver as currency, bat
to the extent only that its parity with
gold can be maintained, and we favor
all measures designed to maintain ill.,
violate the money Of the United States,
whether coin or paper, with the stand

Senator Mantle Is Willing to Cross

CARTER is READY TO DODGE
After Il Strong Protest He Would
Accept the Verdict Of the
Convention.

ST Louis, June l5.-The delegates of
the free silver states have again post
poned their meeting, and it is now un-
certain whether q joint conference Of
delegates from the different states will
be held until after the committee on
resolutions acts upon the platform.
The change of plan is due to the fact
that some difference If opinion has been
developed in some Of the states as to the
most advisable course to be pursued. ln
some instances there is a division as to
the wisdom of bolt. whatever the plat,
form may be. This fact was brought
out at meeting held by the different
delegations today. 1t is believed 1t may
Yet be possible to secure an understand
ing upon which the delegates may act
together, though it is conceded that this
is not altogether probable,
Tue division exists in the Montana
and Utah delegations. The Montana
delegation is evenly divided, with Sena-
tor Mantle heading the wing favorable
to walking out and Senator Carter
heading the forces opposed to this ac-
tion, there being three delegates on each
side.
This SUBJECT formed the basis of quite
a scene at the meeting of the delegation
today. Senator Carter advanced the
idea that the SILVER men could be just as
effective by uttering a strong protest
against the adoption OF the gold plank
and still remain in the convention,
while Senator Mantle urged that the
only course open to the silver men was
TO leave the convention IN case 1t should
decide upon a course so antagonist'c to
their belief, as would be the adoption of
the gold standard declaration, Both
the senators are, however, anxious to

the factions declared war to the knife,
all idea of New York furnishing the tail
of the ticket was abandoned. Although
the Maine delegations is not ad-
vertising the fact, it is almost
certain they will present the name of ex-
Gov. Cleaves. There ia still a lingering
hope among vast number of the dele
gates that Speaker Reed will be nomi-
mated by spontaneous outburst in the
convention, and if he is, they do not be-
lleve be would decline any more than
Logan could in 1854, or Hendricks and
Thurman could when they were placed
on tho democratic tickets in 1884 and
1883, respectively.
