ENGLISH OPINIONS
On the Situation in Transvaal and
with the United States.
Rhodes Acts Condemnei-Peace with Uncle
Sam Urged by All.

London, Jan - The Post yesterday,
published IL dispatch sent by Cecil Rhodes,
ex-prime minister of Cape Colony, in
which he declared that England should
have America sympathy in the trouble
in the Transvaal.
In its issue. today, the paper attacks
Mr.. Rhodes for appealing TO the United
States 1t saws that ii President Cleve-
land considers that the rights of Amcri-
cans have been infringed he knows well
how to viDdicate them.
The United States certainly does not re-
uuirc the assistance of Mr. Rhodes. The
same may BIZ said Of Great Britain, but it
first must be made clear that the British
subjects have not put themselves out of
court by their action.
That Mr. Rhodes has much TO answer
for, apart from the questions of DR.. ,Tsme
sons raid and the Uitianders. must be
admitted. He must explain why his police
force at Mafeking was ready for active
services the moment the letter from
johannesburg came to hand, and also
why he did not inform Governor Robin
son, or if he did inform him, why the
latter did not immediately communicate
with London.

The Daily News says: Mr. Rhodes
ingenious argument In behalf of the con-
cessions to the Uitlanders proves too
much. On the same showing it would
justify Great Britain in annexing the
Transvaal, with all the consequences that

Referring to the request OF the Ameri

its good offices in behalf OF the Americans
arrested at Johannesburg, the News says
Whatever may be the result Of the recent
occurrences In the Transvaal, the govern
ment and people Of the United States
must be gratitied that so cordial and
gratifying response was made to Mr..
Olney's request. 1t will be to English
men source of peculiar pleasure at this
moment if they can in any way testify to
their regard for their kin beyond the sea. +"
The Daily News reiterates the impor-
lance OF finding an honorable escape from
the Venezuelan difficulty. and says: 'Ii
things are allowed to continue as now,
there may be war, no matter how many
excellent people may be Mortified at the
idea. Lord Salisbury has never declined
to arbitrate. 1t was upon the scope, not
the principle OF reference that he and
Venezuela failed TO agree. We believe
that Lord Salisbury has clearly shown
that Venezuela is in the wrcng, but we
are not impartial judges.
1.-The stronger the British case, the
more eager should Lord Salisbury be TO
submit it to a competent court. Surely
we are willing to make a sentimental sac

when it would not be redemption money
at all, which is the position of the silver
dollar to-day, except that it is permitted
to do duty as token money under prom
Use that it will not claim the function of
rede mption money, but recognize its own
dependence upon gold to give ii a purchas-
ing quality.
But the meaning OF the common peoples
cry for 'sound money" is very different
from that of the money-lenders ard bond
coupon clippers. They know that silver
possesses every requisite quality for re-
demption money, and they demand that
its soundness be admitted and recognized
in the monetary system of the Nation.
That is the long and the short OF the peo-
pies demand. That is to say, the wealth
makers demand that silver be returned to
its legitimate position of co-worker with
gold in supplying the channels of trade
ana traffic with a sufficient volume of
money, or, in other words, the people de-
mand that the Government call the gold
standard dishonest money" the silver
standard dishonest money" and a BIZ
metallic standard "honest money" if the
words "honest, dishonest" sound and
"unsound" are to be used to designate real
from unreal money.

SOUND MONEY"

The leaders of both parties are every
where declaring for ''sound money" and
the rank and file say they will have no
other kind. 1nasmuch as the Government
does not now nor is it likely to ever issue
unsound money, it would seem that there
is no occasion to talk about either "sound"
or "unsound' money. No sensible man
would ever question the "soundness'' of
money issued or permitted to be issued by
the United States. Until the minis go to
turning out counterfeit money no one
need be afraid to take the Government 8
promise to pay or its money of redemp-
ton. The fact of the matter is, all this
talk about "sound money" is idlotic clap
trap, and il is intended to create suspi-
cion in the minds of the people that there
is a deep-laid scheme to turn the National
treasury into kind of green goods print
ing establishment.
The natural "soundness" of silver for
redemption money purposes was not ques-
toned until 1873, and then the attack was
made upon 1t under cover, but the Cleve-
| land administration has boldly deprived
it OF its legitimate place in the monetary
system OF the country, so that it's coin
value is derived from the Governments
| promise to redeem it in gold. This radical
and brutal attack upon the Legitimacy of
| silver's qualities for money of redeinpt
was followed by denouncing it as sun
sound money" but, in fact, it was stripped
OF its function as money metal and its
own redemption in gold made condition
of the privilege Of being coined into dol
lars. The conspirators who committed
this dastardly offense against the bone, the
sinew and the main dependence of the Ma
ton in its battle against the efforts of
money-ienders toward the GENERALIZATION
OF the political and social power of the
country into the little circle in which they
move are the influence that is behind the
| cry of Sound money"
What the people really mean by 'sound
money" is silver and gold dollars of equal
redemption power. They hold, and
rightly SO, that they have nothing to do
with gold bullion or silver bullion, as such.
As bullion, these metals are merchant
able commodity, but when converted in.
TO coin by authority of the Government
they are redemption money, and neither
one could be called unsound without
relieving it altogether ofits duty as money,

A JOsEPH's COAT CONVENTION.

The first duty of the Chicago convention
will be to determine what the word
democrat" means. No business can be
transacted until that is done. The Cleve-
landites declare Bland and his following
are not Democrats, and Bland and his
following are positive that the Cleve-
landites do not know the first principles Of
Democracy. The necessity, therefore. of
agreeing upon the meaning of the name
of their alleged party is apparent.
The convention call says it is to be a
gathering of Democrats, but until it is
ascertained what constitutes Democrat
there is no other reason why Herr Most
should not be admitted to the convention
hall as good Democrat. Bland says
Cleveland should go over to Governor
Morton's standard, and Cleveland says
Bland belongs in the Populist ranks. Cor
man says it is not Democratic to put coal
and iron on the free list, and Vest SAYS it
is Democratic to have out and out free

not in favor of the gold standard knows
