IT SEEMS that special honors are to
be paid in Richmond at the coming
Confederate reunion there to Governor
Atkinson, of Georgia, who helped to
break up the Confederate Home in his
State and who is reported to have said
that he was tired of Confederate senti-
ment." According to the natural order
of things, Richmond, which was the
capital of the Confederate States, should
be the proper place for the Confederate
Battle Abbey, but so many things that
must be Objectionable to OK Confeder-
ates have occurred there since the des'
truction of their 'storm Graded nation"
that Confederate sentiment would rath-
er have it almost any where else.

THE NORTHERN advocates of the
,oId standard of value NAV he helping

THE NORTHERN advocates of the
gold standard of value may be helping
their cause in the North by the course
they are pursuing, but that they are not
doing so in the South is plain to every
BODY at all familiar with human nature.
There are a great many Southern dem
ocrats who see the dangers of free sill
yer lust as we'll as those Of the North
do, but it is utterly impossible for them
to change the popular feeling in favor
of the white metal among their neigh
bors when such widely circulated
newspapers as the New York Herald
say that if the Chicago convention shall
declare for free silver, I'VE shall have
the days of 81 before us again, and all
Intelligent and patriotic citizens should
unite, as they did in 81, greatly to the
amazement of the secession leaders, re-
csrdless OF party names, to save the
honor and credit Of the country" and
when Mr. Whitney says that If such a
declaration be made, ''the democrats
IN the East would not vote for it, /" and
that the New York democrats will! not
follow the lead of our Southern breth-
reu." When Southern democrats, in
favor of gold money, read such utter
ances from the section that receives
nearly all the honors and emoluments
of national democratic victories, they
are not stimulated to renewed efforts in
behalf of the best sort of money, es-
pecially as they know that most OF the
ill-effects of a deprecated currency will
fall upon the North. 1t isn't the portion
ofthe country south of the Potomac that
started and that gives the most support
to the free silver idea, but that west OF
the Mississippi, and the manifest attempt
of those referred to, to revive the old
war feeling in the North as means OF
attaining their object, is as little credita-
BILE to their patriotism as to their IN
Outstanding.

mostly applied to the purchase of war

from other powers.
It has been decided to dispatch 50,-
600 additional troops to Cuba before

WllllRm ". w ulIuoy uhS uauo puuliC
statement in which he defines the
political situation, makes his position
clear as regards his decision to remain
in this country, instead of going to
Europe, and concludes by saying that
he is not presidential possibility; that
he "would not run, if nominated, and
would not serve. if elected" He makes
strong plea for sound money and says
defeat of democrats is sure if a silver
platform is adopted. He will give up
his European trip and SO to the Chi
cago convention to fight the free silver
tide He says this movement for free
coinage purports to have for its object
the establishment and maintenance of
gold and silver, as the money of the
country, upon equal terms with each
other, and at q parity of purchasing
power. If by the proposed measure that
object could be secured, there would
not be substantial disagreement in the
party. Every national democratic plat
form that has heretofore spoken upon
the subject has declared for both gold
and silver money. 1t is our ira
OlUOnSl pOHcy. but lHe maintenance
of the double standard at the present
time is not question of desire; it is
question of ability. The commercial
value of silver has declined greatly in
the markets of the world. Whatever
the causes are and whoever is to
blame, the fact is that silver has de-
clined, ard free coinage now at 10 to l
is the same for our Offering for all the
silver in the world about twice what it
is selling for in the market. Interna
tional exchanges have to be paid in
gold, and it would seem plain that if
we, under these conditions, open our
mints to the free coinage of silver and
gold at a ratio of comparative value
which is largely at variance with the
commercial value of the two metals,
we must take the entire silver surplus
ourselves, maintain its parity with
gold, or else we shall go to silver ba
sis. 1t is question not what we wish,
but what we are able to do. A strong
man may undertake task too great
for his strength and break down.

THE ARKANSAS democrats have de-
clared for free silver and an income
tax. BY all means the national demo
cratic convention should declare for an

against all attempts, no matter how

such platform, its nominee would be
very likely to carry even New York,
irrespective of his opinions on the cur
-ency question.
