ST. LOUIS, June lG.--The silver men
were disappointed over the comparatively
small vote cast for Senator Dubois for
chairman Of the committee on reeolu-
tions, They had expected that he would
receive II votes instead Of the four cast
for him They had counted upon the
votes of California and Wyoming and of
several Of the territories in addition to
these 1t appeared, upon roll call, that
the territorial representatives were alb
sent, and California and Wyoming voted
for Senator Foraker. 1t is Of the action
of the last two that the silver men com
plain, They say, as these two states were
instructed for the free coinage of silver
at a ratio of l6 to |, they had a right to
expect their support for the silver
candidate for temporary chairman.
This dissatisfaction made itself manifest
in the committee when Burieigh offered
his motion to increase the number of
the subcommittee on platform from
seven to nine. on the ground that the
Pacific coast should be represented.
When Burleigh's name was suggested
as one of the additional members, objec-
ton was made that he did not represent
the sentiment Of the Pacific coast.
"EIow are you to ascertain the senti-
ment of the Pacific coast" asked Lemon
of California, who had voted for Gov
ernor Foraker.
"We will take the California platform
en- the silver question as a guide,' re-
sponded Mott Of North Carolina.
Mott also referred to the fact that of
the nine men appointed on the sub-com
mittee there was only one silver man,
as an unlustifiabe discrimination.

IT SOUNDS RATHER FAMILIAR
lie Again Says the Free Coinage of
Silver Is TnpatriOtic and
Foolish.

WASHINGTON, June lG.--In reply to
request from the New York Herald for
statement con"erning the democratic
situation, President Cleveland sent the
following to that paper
~ have made no figures as to the
probable action of delegates already
chosen, or to be chosen, to the demo
cratic national convention, but ] refuse
to believe that when the time arrives for
deliberate action there will be engrafted
upon our democratic creed demand for
the free, unlimited and independent
coinage of silver. | cannot believe this.
because l know the democratic party is
neither unpatriotic nor foolish, and be-
cause 1t seems SO clear to me that such
course will infict very great injury
upon every interest of our country,
which it has been the mission
OF the democracy to advance, and will
result in lasting disaster to our party
organization. There is little hope that,
as means of success, this free silver
proposition, after its thorough discus
sion during the political campaign, will
attract majority of the voters of the
country 1t must be that many of the
illusions, influencing those now relying
upon this alleged panacea for their ills,
will be dispelled before tho time comes
for them to cast their ballots, which will
express their sober second thought The
adoption by the democracy of this prop
ositiou would, [ believe, give our oppo-
nents an advantage. both in the present
and the future, which they do not de-
serve"

ST.. Louis, June 1G.-The committee
on credentials met Immediately after ad-
journment. Congressman Hepburn of
Iowa was nominated for chairman, as
was also Delegate Fort of New Jersey.
The committee went into executive ses-
sion and at 3:15 o'clock we're still having
warm argument over the resolution
intended to have the committee accept
the judgment of the national committee
on all cases decided by that committee
in scat contests as final. Southerland of
New York made the greatest protest,
saying the New York delegation, by q
vote of 50 to II, objected to the action of
the committee on it's contests and de-
sired to have the new committee act as a
court of appeals The committee finally
elected John F.. Fort of New Jersey
chairman; L. f. Lambert, Kansas secre-
tary; J. M. Gilbert, Washington, assist
ant secretary, and Smith of Wyoming
sergeant at arms,
After long argument the committee
adopted a resolution shutting out fur
ther inquiry into all contests, except
those referred to the convention by the
national committee. Contests from the
states OF Delaware and Texas had been
referred to the credentials committee by
the national committee, and these were
taken up at once. The< factional con-
test between the Higgins and Addicks'
forces, which has stirred the little state
of Delaware for several years, WAS de-
cided in favor OF the former. The reso
luton to seat J, Edward Addichs and
his five colleagues was defeated by q
vote of % to 20, and one to seat the dele
CATION headed by ex-senator Anthony
Higgins was then carried by vote of 81
to II. The Texas contest was postponed
untl tomorrow.

There is no department OF the

them in many ways directly and
powerfully, and in many others,
because it's actions are so ind1-
rect as to be appreciated only
after the closest scrutiny, it's in
huences are none he less far
reaching and effective. The de-
partment has to deal with the
control of corporations, the be-
stowal of franchises, the super
vision of the levying and collect
ton oftaxes, the disbursement Of
public funds, the administration
of justice, the promotion of edu-
cation, the preservation of the
purity of election, and the pro-
lection of individual rights. On

Importance to those who live by

developed in the industrial world
that existing laws are powerless
to control. The new conditions
demand new regulations. Labor,
the human element, the vital,
energizing, motive force of civil
ization, if civilization is not to

course, must not only be pro-
tected in it's bare existence, it
must be guaranteed it's share in

the ground that the rule was in viola

circuit court dismissed the bill. and the
decision was sustained by the circuit
court of appeals for the Eighth district.
The government then appealed to the su-

ON THE CUBAN INSURRECTION.
Recognition of BelIigerency MIR.
Cleveland Deems Unwise.

Recngnition of BelIigerency MIR.
Cleveland Deems Unvyise.
The insurrection in Cuba Still continues
with all its perpleXitieS. 1t is difficult to
perceive that any progress has thus far
been made towards the pacfication Of the
island or that the situation of affairs as
depicted in my last annual message has
in the least improved. If Spain still holds
Havana and the seaports and all the con-
Siderable towns, the insurgents still run
at will over at least tWo-thirds Of the
island country. The determination Of
Spain to put down the insurrection seems
but to strengthen with the lapse or time
and is evidenced by her unhestatinS de-
votiOn of largely increased military ana
naval forces to the task. There is much
reason to believe that the insurgents have
gained in number. character and re-
sources and are none the less inf1exible in
their resolve not to succumb without
practically securing the great object for
hich they took up arms II Spain has
not yet established her authority,
neither have the insurgents yet made
good their claim to be regarded as an in
dependent state Indeed as the contest
has gone on, the pretense that civil gov
ernment exists on the island, except SO
far as Spain is able to maintain it. has
been practically refuted. Spain does keep
on foot such government, more or less
imperfectly in the large towns ana the
immediate suburbs; but that exception be
ing made, the entire country is either
given over to anarchy or is subject TO lhe
military occupation Of one or the other
party. 1t IS reported, indeed, on reliable

lands for his wards. it is charged it WAS
his practice to 90 into the probate court
and there file bills for money expended
and services rendered. These bills would
amount to so much that an order of court
could be secured for the sale of the lands
in settlement of the Indebtedness. The
lands so sold are said to have been pur
