THE adjournment of Congress also
creates a popular sentiment favorable to
the Democracy. The session which came
ITO an ignominious end yesterday was the
most impotent and one of the most dis
graceful on record. 1t leaves behind it
no positive accomplishment of its W
except the $50, Ooo,O 900 Rivers and Harbors
robbery. 1t came in with promises of I'M
bounded beneficenee; it goes out without
having even laid before the President a
single measure expressive of the policy
of THE majority or framed in harmony
with its prediction pledges.
The House of Representatives. of course
lays the blame of these failures on the
Senate. But this does not relieve the Re-
publican party from the onus; because.
by a wilhfu1 deal for political spoils the
Republican Senators placed the control
Of the machinery of that body in the
hands of the Populist monstrosities who
hold two or three seats. The House. be-
sides, used none of the methods which
were at its disposal to compel the Senate
TO act. It tacitly acquiesced in the OBJ
structive course of that body.
And why? Simply because the House
was not sincere in any of the measures
which It passed. The Dingley horizontal
tariff measure was never intended to mass
Ut was a bluff. a gaud. a toy to dazzle
voters who might not understand it. No.
'pody knows better than Mr.. Dingley that
y was calculated to reduce the revenue
instead of increasing it. The Dingley bond
Dill was an equally hollow sham. If
showed that the Republican leaders haa
no comprehension of the pending financial
questions, and no realization OF the5r I'M.
portance. They were issues not to decide
but ito juggle with, for votes. 1t was the
measure of a party without principles
without . policy, without courage or CON
victions. The House of Representatives
made no effort to compel its passage bv
the Senate because it had no use for the
bill itself, and merely passed it to deceive
the people.
There was plenty of unanimity. how
ever, on the 100000 steal.

The political news seems to have taken
on a new phase in the last twenty-four
hours. The Republican party at st. Louis
seems far from being as happy as one
would expect. while the prospects of the
Democracy at Chicago have improved
enormously.
AT st. Louis, it is evident, the tendency
to truckle to silver is srrong and growing.
Ut looks as if no emphatic declaration in
favor of the single gold STANDARD would
on the Indiana plan seems to be the best
thing of which there is any prospect. This,
with Mckinley for a candidate, will make
the party about as distasteful to the
sound money sentiment of the country
as anything that can well be imagined.
The platform trouble is not the only
one at St. Louis. There is the treachery
of Manley of Maine to Reed. This and a
few other equally black though less con-
spacuous acts of perfidy promise to end
the Convention in anger and demoraliza-
ton. Mr.. Thomas C.. Platt, too, is likely
to go home to New York. in very bad
temper. and 1T would hot be too easy for
the Republican party to carry New York,
ever If Platt were enthusiastic.
Coupled with this view of the Republic
can situation. is the latest calculation of
the vote at Chicago. The Minnesota State
Convention yesterday came out for gold,
and 1t is now no longer probable that the
silverites will have the ttwo-thirds vote in
the Convention to nominate a free silver
candidate. The whole number of delegates
Is 918, and of these two-thirds or 612 votes
is necessary to make a nomination. So
far. $40 delegates nave been elected, 2l7
favoring the gold standard and 2sS for sill
yer. OF the delegates to be elected, Y
from New York and 10 from Maine, are
sure to be for gold, making a total of 2S9
for sound money. In addition, a large
number of the Wisconsin delegates, prob
ably a majority. will fbe gold men. The re-
suit at Chicago, therefore, is likely to be
the nomination of an o~ut-and-out gold
candidate-probably Russell of Massachu-
setts-upon a platform in which silver
gets more recognition than it should have.
This we believe, will be a state of things
rather favorable to the Democracy. The
people will prefer the straight gold man
to Mckinley, both platforms being about
equally bad.

have the air of the old-time Southen
hospitality clinging about it, and all
this is very charming to one who has not
known what that sort of thing meant till
it was seen on its native heath.
There is one curious little fact connect
ed with the history of Baltimore that /
have never seen in print. Tho city was
named after George Calvert. the first
Lord Baltimore, who was exiled to Ire
land and had his English estates confis-
Gated because Of his hsiesy in declaring
himself Catholic. Then, afterward, be
sailed to the New World and founded the
colony of Maryland. What strikes me as
being curious is that the city which
bears his name should be the scar of the
Roman Catholic Church in America. 1t
is here that the official head of the
church lives, and it is here that Lord
Baltimore came because he was MEM
Der of the church which hasygrown to be
such marvellous power in the land of
his adoption.
