WA IL guard effeetAally against abuse.
The people of Paris, and we may add
those of London as WELL and Of most
other European capitals, are carried
wherever they wish to go between
business and residence portions with
facility and comfort Every passenger
is entitled to seat and gets it. The
conductor of a car or omnibus Is not
allowed to permit a person to take pas
sage unless there is a vacant seat
available. Nor are people compelled to
stand waiting OH corners while long
professions of crowded vehicles roll
past, as Is the dire threat for us in
case any such regulations should be
enforced. Self-interest insures that
every person who wishes to use street
transportation shall be accommodated,
and behind this stands the power Of
the municipality to compel the COM
panies to discharge their dwites to the
public.
Finally, this does not, as we are
again assured it would do on this side
the Atlantic, bankrupt the transporta-
ton companies themselves. On the
contrary, they are strongly competing
bidders for the privilege. AS the Trib-
une further remarks, the great central
omnibus and tramway company Of
Paris is not a philanthropic concern
TT is paying good dividends every
year, and it is paying $4O0, 900 a year to
the city for it's franchise. If it were to
surrender it's franchise tomorrow, there
are hundreds of capitalists in Paris
who would bid for them eagerly" So
here We have at least one problem
practically worked out. 1t would be a
high tribute to our common sense if
we should, for the moment, pocket our
pride far enough to adopt the valuable
conclusion to which the experience Of
the cities of other countries has led
them after some hundreds of years of
painful and costly failure, without in
sisting upon paying the same price for
knowledge that is now completely at
our disposal.

FIRST OFFICIAL AvOWAL. OF THE
INTENTIONS OF WHITE METAL
MEN.
CAUCUS QUESTION OPEN.
UNTIL AFTER THE FIRST BAL-
LOT.
MORE DETERMINED THAN EVER.
Opposition of Indiana Has Only
Added to the Firmness of the
Silver Leaders.

CHICAGO, July 4.-Whether there
shall be a general silver caucus is as
yet undetermined. The matter will
probably not be settled before Monday
and it will then depend largely upon the
responses which may be received to
the followingS note which was sent
out to-day by the steering committee
of five:
1--WE would be pleased to know lie
your delegation agrees with us in the
conviction that the best interests of
the cause we all have at heart, will be
| advanced by having the platform and
nomination practically determined by
/ the silver men Of the convention.
/ Please let us know at the earliest prac-
rt1caT moment If your delegation agrees
in this view"
This is the first open and official
avowal that the silverites have made
that they mean to agree upon can
didate and platform, if possible, be-
fore entering the convention, though it
has been surmised from the beginning
that such were their plans.
Tt is the intention If the answers are
favorable, as it is believed they will
be, to take steps to ascertain how the
0CACSdblOIo oIdlIOB OOIA O1 Lie pldL-
form and the nomination. This will be
accomplished, if possible, by a can
vass of the delegations separately, by
their representatives on the general sill
yer committee. If it is found that this
plan will not work satisfactorily, a
caucus will be held.
A majority Of the delegates now in
the city are apparently favorable to
the caucus idea, but most of the recog-
Eized leaders are disposed to stave it
off as long as possible. They seem to
prefer, that if a caucus is held at all,
that it should be postponed until after
at least one or two ballots shall have
been taken. Many delegates are tied
up by instructions and would not feel
free to act as they might feel to be
desirable, until after they had had an
opportunity to discharge their obliga-
tons to their constituents by voting
for the candidates covered by their in
structions.
The action Of Gov Mathews sup
porters, in declaring against caucus,
has had the effect of increasing the
feeling in favor of such a gathering
The idea Is being industriously incuI-
Gated that those who oppose caucus
are contemplating the possibility Of
union with the gold men.

CHICAGO, July 4.-The silver people were
much encouraged upon the arrival of some of
the delegates from Minnesota today to re-
ceive the assurance that the sentiment favor
able to silver Is constantly increasing in the
delegation. 1t was at first supposed to be solid
for gold. At last nights silver caucus a dis
patch was read from p. B. Winston saying
there were six silver men in the number.
Today's arrivals report that there are
seven who are sure to vote with the silver
people, and that there are two others who
are on the verge of allying themselves with
that interest. The silver men have also. re-

When Mr.. Russell finished there was
continuous applause. 1t was a. cues
ton whether the applause that fol-
lowed the name Of Mckinley was for
the name or for the denunciation Of
Mckinley methods that followed, but
there was applause.
The unexpected happened when the
orator mentionedTlthe1 names, of Jeffer-
son, Jackson and Cleveland. The au-
dience was more enthusiastic than IT
had been all evening and the applause
lasted several minutes and this was
repeated when he spoke Of the Dem
ocratic party now in power having up
held the peoples rights.
At the close of the remarks of Mr..
Russell there was long and very en-
thusiastic applause and there was a
renewal Of the cries for Hill. But Hill
was not present and the chairman was
forced to call upon Senator GRAY. Of
delaware. Senator Gray said in part:
1t Is proposed now-mistaken1y. but
honestly-to declare in a Democratic
platform, that value can be created Nv
act of congress- and that a fat Of tha
government Of the United States can
control the price Of silver bullion in
the markets Of the world This is an
avoWal of paterna1ism that puts to
shame that Of the Republican party
and against which all the traditions IF
our party are unbrokenly arrayed.
What have become Of those princi-
pies Of the Democratic faith for which
we have battled so long, and which
have meant SO much to the country in
all its past history, which, as we be-
Heve, lay at the foundation Of success
full popular government and are the
surest guaranty of the perpetuity Of
our institutions and the integrity Of
our scheme Of government? Have all
these lost attraction to Democrats in
this year of Our Lord 1896? Are there
none to remember the tenets of the
faith In which they were educated-th
teachings Of Jefferson and Jackson?

70 VISIT M'KINLEy
Pilgrimage TO Canton Starts Tonight
Prospects of a Large CrOwd...The
Details Of the Trip.

"On to Canton" is the cry in every
part of the coal fields of Northeastern
Pennsylvania today and tonight it will
be shouted in concert by hundreds
when the time for the start from
Wilkes-Barre arrives.
The indications of yesterday We're
that the excursion would be one of the
largest that has yet gone from any
great distance to see, hear and pay
respects to the champion of sound
money and protection. James Sim
mons, of Philadelphia, travelling pas
senger agent of the Pennsylvania rail-
road who will personally conduct the
pilgrimage, was in the city yesterday
for few hours and had come to the
conclusion after consulting with his
agents between CarbOndale and Hazle-
ton that the originally contemplated
train of ten cars will have to be nearly
doubled and divided into two sections.
AS an earnestness of the enthusiasm
with which the project is being received
he mentioned the fact that the little
town of Edwardsdale had sent for 80
tickets; Carbondale had sold 90 al
ready; Shickshinny's ticket agent tele-
graphed for so tickets: crowd of farm
ers from Laceyville, Wyoming county,
wrote to inquire If they could go along,
thinking it was an excursion for min
ers only.
Wilkes-Barre proposes to have twen-
ty miners go along with their working
clothes. lamps and tools, which they
will don when they go to greet Major
Mckinley.
In response to a telegram to Editor
Lathrop, of the Carbondale Leader. the
next president said he expected the
coal region delegation and would make
a special address to them.
The train which the Scranton pill
grims will take leaves Carbonda1e at
7.05 o'clock and reaches this city at
7.45, leaving here at $50 and arriving
in Wilkes Barre at $40. The excursion
train leaves Wilkes Barre at 0 o'clock
and will arrive i'm Canton at 10.4O a. m.
Saturday morning. Returning will
leave Canton at midnight Saturday
night. coming over the Alleghenies by
daylight and arriving in Wilkes Barre
at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Sleep
ing cars will be attached to the train.
The fare is Sc 10 from this city, which Is
only three-quarters of cent a mile,
the distance being over 400 miles each
