THE FREE SILVER SECESSION.

The withdrawal of the free silver dele
gates from the St Louis convention, says the
St. Louis Globe Democrat, was in a sense the
happening Of the expected. That is to say,
while it had been hoped that they would not
take that extreme step, such action was but
the fultillment Of a previous threat. Their
position from the start was menacing, and its
logic led inevitably to that result. 1t is a
notorious fact that they came to the cOnven-
tion not for the purpose of trying to effect a
peaceful adjustment Of the controversy about
the currency, hut with view TO insisting
upon an absolute surrender to their view
Of the matter. At no time did they mani
fest a disposition to make the least modiiica-
ton of their demand, or to accept any form
Of compromise OF Cancellation. They re-
jected all overtures that involved less than
the full Endorsement of free silver coinage at
the ratio OF lG to l. A plank of this kind
was out of the question, and they well knew
it and frankly acknowledged it; but they
were not willing to take anything else They
assumed the right 10 dictate a platform to
suit themselves, and 10 commit the party 10 a
doctrine against which Il large majority OF
its members had declared in the election OF
delegates TO the convention. That could NOT
be permitted, OF course, and so they walked
,Out
( There is no reason to believe that thi.
secession viii seriously injure the Republican
party. on the contrary, it is likely to b,
advantageous in the way of simplifying the
situation aud nsuriug direct and conclusiy,
vote upon an issue that has been source o.
much trouble in our politics and in the busi
ness ahairs of the country.
If the free silver people will all get to
gcther, as now seems possible and put Tn,
question to a square test, the result will
certainly be pronounced victory for th
gold standard. Some Of the states tina
might have gone Republican under ditleren
circumstances will probably be carried by tn
opposition, but there are not enough of then
to turn the scale in favor Of free silver.
The intelligence and patriotism Of Tia
American people can be trusted 10 rende

world and against currency of depreeiate
and dishonest order They understood th
issue and realize its important bearing upo

TIE New York State Democracy in con
Nouhon at Saratoga yesterday failed to pro-
uounce Unrcserycdly for the single gold
standard The platform adopted was a
staddle. 1t was framed not TO meet the
national situation courageously, but to serve
as a middle ground upon which some politi-
clans thought possibly the party might meet
at Chicago. II was designed for party pur-
poses and not as national declaration. 1t.
adoption is a public confession that the single
gold standard will be repudiated by the
Democratic party, ANY attempt to force the
New York plank upon the Chicago conven-
tion will be hooted down by the dominant
siLycrLt.s.

Special to EVENING HERALD
PorrsvILLE, June 25.-The third day of
the trial of Mike Minella, Peter NagOne and
petro MicO, for the murder Of Joseph Zu-
kuski. was concluded to-day in court room
No. 2, before Judge Albright.
Late yesterday afternoon William Hughes,
of shenandoah, "a special officer was called
and testified that he assisted Detective
Amour in the arrest of the prisoners; tried
to keep the crowd back; guarded the pris-
oners in the Council chamber after their ar
rest.
Anthony Shukofsl1y was called and tosti-
fed that he was "a brother of deceased. That

The distance between Tosh and the witness

say that such action was necessary because the
Treasury had been emptied and the public
credit put in peril by the miscellaneous and

Mr. Hoshi Toru in his brief soiourn in

that there is room for enlargement of the
trade relations of the United States with
Japan. In speaking upon the subject to
day he remarked that the United States
wasa better customer of Japan than Japan
wasof the United States, and he accounted
for the fact by pointing out that England
and Germany, by catering closely to local
tastes of the Japanese, as Americans failed
to do, kept the latteS from the Japaness
markets, Nevertheless, he believed thai
there was still an excellent opportunity
for Americans to supply railway materia

TRACK AND PADDOCK ITEMS.

The size of Joe Piggott's head, which
some racegoers think has assumed undue
proportions of late, was reduced
somewhat yesterday. He was fined 500
by Starter Havey for disobedience
at the post, and at the conclu-
sion OF the sixth race his criticisms on
the ability of the judges to decide a close
finish reached the officials and he was in
difnitely suspended. Joe's elastic imagin-
alton overestimated kind employers
patience.
In the palmiest days of his fantastic
acrobatic gyrations at the post Pescador
was hardly a marker for the erratic and
cranky Heartsease. Yet she is tolerated
and the entry of the one-eyed horse is re-
fused. 1t is an injustice to the other
starters to keep big field at the post, with
a chilling wind blowing simply because
one ugly brute will not break, and the
Ingleside management should reject her
entry in future.
1t is pity that turf rules will not allow
the officials presiding in the stand to give
a decision that will permit of the holder
OF ticket on each and every horse start
ing in a race to cash the pasteboard. After
the finish to the third event, which was
taken by Major Cook in good head finish
with Leyena G., a number of disgruntIed
Individuals, who evidently had been gazing
at the finish through empty beer bottles
gathered around the stand and tried 10
