This ratio Of sixteen grains Of silver to one
of gold has been the mea ure OF equality be-
tween the two metals since their first use as
money by the United States.
There exists no necessity to change that ra-
ito more than to change the length of yard
stick, or the number Of ounces in a pound
weight.

STORED BEHIND THE BED.


Chicago, July i-The picture OF President
Cleveland that surmounted two pictures
of senators IIill and Murphy in New
Norks headquarters, and was pointed to
proudly yesterday as the only patriotic dis
play of Mr., Cleyeland's face, was missing
this morning. and in its place hung pict-
ure OF Ex-Governor Flower. Inquiries as
to the whereabouts of the picture called
tor the explanation that the string was
weak" and they We're afraid 1t would fall.
The photograph Is stored behind the gor-
geous bed, out OF sight of the mnny visit
ors, and there seems to he no attempt 10
sechre better string or picture wire.
There are those who point to the fact that
alr, liill ana Mr.. Flower arrived here last
evening but II Is also asserted that their
arrival has nothing to do with the dis
placement OF the picture.

LENGTH OF THE CONVENTION.
Prospect Now Is That II VIII Con-
tinuc in session Three or
Four Days.

Chicago. July 4.-There is still much dis
cussion among delegates as to the time that
Will be consumed by the convention. There
IS general desire 10 have the time abb
breNatel as much as possible, but there
is no longer much talk, as there was few
days since of being able to reduce the time
to one day. on the contrary. the belief is
now quite general that the convention Will
be In session at least three or four days.
Some Of the silver men contend that there
should be no discussion of the platform
when brought in, but that the previous
question should he moved Immediately upon
the presentation of the report. Others OF
the silver leaders say that no such precip-
itatton as this Will be necessary, and dep
regate the disposition TO cut off reasonable
debate. II appears now that this conten-
tion will prevail, especially II the gold men
prove to be reasonable on the question of
the temporary organization. II the silver
men 'ail 10 have a general caucus before
tho beginning OF the convention, as appears
probable, tho chances are that there Will
bo several ballots for candidates. and this
course Will have the effect of prolonglng
the time.

CROWDS AT THE DEPOT.
Chicago Convention Combines With
Teachers National Meeting
10 Swell Travel,

The delegations from Oklahoma and Kan>
sas to the national Democratic convention
passed through the Union depot yesterday
afternoon. They occupied one entire train
on the Santa Fe. In addition to the dele
cations there We're few of the prominent
citizens who We're going along TO see what
the convention shall do and how II shall
do it. There were quite large number or
budding statesmen from Oklahoma. Most
of that class from Kansas will 20 out this
evening, preferring 10 go with organizations
rather than with the delegations.
The Santa Fe also sent out an entire
train of school teachers bound for Buffalo
TO attend the National Educational Asso,
citation. They were principally from Kan
sas and the Southwest, although number
of Missourians We're along. The train
makes the entire trip and the party was a
special one made up for the trip.
There We're several excursions coming
from suburban cities and the depot last
evening presented quite an animated APP
pearance, and for a couple of hours there
was quite a jam. Nearly all of the lines
Fast last evening had To increase their ac-
cOmmodations. as the Chicago travel was
general, and most of the lines also got a
portion of the Buffalo teachers travel.
The big rush, however, IL expected this
evening. as the Bland Club will go out, and
many state delega tions will pass through
the city. Most of them will stop for n short
time and the depot will be crowded. II half
as many people go as are now expected.

St. Louis. Mo-. July i.--in n statement
issued tonight. Chauncey Ives Filley,
chairman of the Republican state central
committee. who was defeated by Hon.
Richard kerons in the race for representa-
tive OF Missouri on the national commit
tee, makes some sensational charges
against the latter. Filley charges kerens
with defeating Warner for governor at the
last state election by his mismanagement
OF the campaign and says. ahons other
things. that II the kerens people attempt
to set aside the recently elected state COM
mittee and himself H'illey) as chairman at
the coming state convention. there will be
trouble. Then F'lley goes on to say:
THE state convention recently held,
through Its elected delegates and the rep
resentative authority of the 90 ,0dO Repub-
licans Of the state, spoke officially when 1t
ropudiated Kcrcns and instructed for me
for national committeeman. That was tho
deliberate, unanimous choice and will of
the party in state convention assembled.
Kerens had been tried in the four years of
his fraudulent election as a delegate in
1872, for he was not then, by any paria-
mentary vote or honest vote OF the party,

not elect him by the vote of the conven-
ton. and he was not elected by II.
"Then, at Minneapolis, he and his friends
pledged 10000 for the campaign in Mis-.
souri, as a convention precedent, and he
was elected by his own vote on secret
ballot, and in reputation of instructions
and pledges. There was behind his candl.
dacy the whole force of the Harrison adj
mnistration. in q convention in which
the foulest use Of patronage and
subordination of party and prostitution of
office holders was developed ever witnessed
in this country, from the time OF Andrew
Jackson TO the present day
1.-THE will and voice and election Of the
party was then outraged, and in the recent
national convention worse type of dis.

The Interviewer.


T.. d. Montgomery, st. Louis-"Our gov-
ernment is very slow in many matters that
ought to be considered of sufficient impor-
tance to merit prompt attention. The tardy
actions in sending out the worlds fair med
ais and diplomas is more than equmled in
the award of special recognition favors to
officers in the regular army. For instance
there is Captain Charlie Morton. who lives
at Hamilton, who last year received notice
that he had been breveted captain for bra
cry In an Indian campaign that took place
twenty-five years prior. The act was one
soldiers from a defeat. The commanding
officers reported the matter for special rec

the present laws, and the state is badly
handicapped. Too much latitude is al
lowed the defense in number of respects
and the last complaint that can reason-
ably be made by the accused is that he Is
not given sufficient protection. OF course,
We do not want the state to act tyranncally
in the prosecution of a prisoner, and every
right of the latter should be rigidly and
sacrcdly protected. But the interests Of
society demand that the state shall have
every opportunity of convicting man who
Is guilty. II he is innocent, he is in no
danger OF being condemned. The prepond.
erance Of protection is too much in favor
of the accused. The balance ought to be
more carefully adjusted, for society has az
much at stake as the prisoner at the bar"
