Conservative, in an editorial on yester-
days debate on Mr.. Whiteley's bi-metallic
resolution in the House of Commons, ex-
presses satisfaction that Sir Michael
Beach puts bis foot down so firmly, and
MI. Balfour gave no reason to suppose
that he dissented from the conclusions
upon the subject reached by his col
leagues.
The Daily News says in an article IN
