GOLD AND SILVER.

/
A bill has been introduced in con
grsss for "the free and gratuitou
ocinaes Of gold ard silver st The r1ti;
ot l:l5i." u provides that the treas
ury may issue. for gold or silver de
posted. certificates redeemable on de
mand in either gold or silver but not
specifying whether gold or silver was
deposited. and that both the silver
aud gold coins and ertifcatcs issued
shall be legal tender for all debts pub
lie aud private. The bill provides
that II shall become operative only
when England. France and Germany
shall have passed similar laws for the
unlimited coinage OF gold and silver
bullion at the ratio Of l:ljl.
John sherman aud other >o-called
guld-bug senators endorse he free coin
age OF both gold aud silver by inter
national agreement at fixed ratio.
But can international agreement be
secured. and If il can be- can The price
II silver bc raiscdtu the above rat by
he fiat of the governments IA the
monetary compact? There is no doubt
that gold maintains its high price in
comparison with silver largely through
the fat of law. and that silver has
sunk 10 low value because of the
lack OF this support. During the
centuries that IL circulated on equal |
footing with gold il never reached |
its present price in gold, in any part |
Of the world. Silver can be- mined |
chcaply, but 80 can gold rs recent
statistics show. II silver had |
been bolstercd up in Europe and
America by legal enactments. and not
gold, the latter would now bc cOnsid-
eITbly cheaper, at least, ia COMPARE
son with silver. The negative way Of
rehabilitating silver, recommended
by Thomas Jefferson, would be TO
legal support from gold,
and to allow both metals, coined in
peices Of certain weight and fineness,
10 circulate at thir market rate. This
measure would raise the price Of silver
md would convert all money or metal
medium into ounces Of
,old or silver, and If the market value
# these were fiuctuating, there would
Ne no medium OF exchange OF uniform
'alue with which to measure mer- D.
hantile transactions. 1t is true that -
eretofore before 1873, the legal ratio
etween gold and silver was main. la
aimed with dlfficulty. But any and ST
u such measures will avail us little -
Mess they are so devised that they |
'lleve the national treasury from the l
ecessity Of maintaining a gold re-

1t is well known that gas accumulated

fired by ii Blast and it burned all night
In the morning the descent of the cage ;

An lndiscreet Interview.

The Spanish minister at Washington,
Senor de LONE, Is quoted in cur
rent press dispatch as having, in an
Interview, used the following extraor-
dinary language:
The rebellion in Cuba never would have
been a serious matter at all had II not
been for the interference of the Unit ed
States. 1t never would have passed the
limits of mere riot had II not been for the
money, supplies, arms and men that were
sent from this country. Men have gone
from this country with the assurance that
the United States would extend belligerent
rights 10 the Cubans and would in all
probability send a fleet to Cuban waters to
support the Insurgents. At no time have
the authorities in this country given the
situation In Cuba a fair investigation to
ascertain what the facts actually are. 1t
has been said that all Cubans are actively
interested In the rebellion. but the truth
OF the matter Is that there are seven Gu
ban generals and several hundred Cuban
officers lighting in the Spanish army In
Cuba. In fact / am sure there are more
Cuban officers In the Spanish army than
there are white leaders among the in
surgents. All this am telling you from
what know personally and not In my Of
fetal capacity.
1t will be interesting to notice
whether the American state department
will recognize and acquiesce in Senor
de Lome's fine distinction between his
official and his personal capacity. In
the case of the Hawaiian minister.
Lorin A. Thurston. it refused to dis
tinguish between these two forms of
utterance, and invited Thurston's re-
call because of outgivings to newspaper
correspondents decidedly less often
sive in form and substance than the
foregoing statement of the Spanish
diplomat.
Senor de Lome's remarks amount to
a grave criticism of the American gov
ernment and the American people.
Even If what he said were literally
true. the propriety of such an utter
ance at this particular time is open to
serious question. But not true, his as
sertions become a deliberate offense,
which according to diplomatic usage,
would Justify q request for his recall.

HER FIRST SERIOUS CANDIDATE.
o philadelDhil Times,

From the Philadelphia Times.
For the first time in the history of the
Republican party the delegation from th!s
state will present a candidate for presi-
dent whose nomination Is earnestly de-
sired. The delegation that gave noini-
nal support to Cameron In 1850 anu the
delegation that gave a nominal support 10
Hartranft in 1876 d.d not expect the sue
cess of their candidates, ard majority
of the delegation really did not desire II.
Cameron was made q candidate 10 serve
ulterior purposes which were accom-
plished by his appointment to the cabi-
net, and Hartranft was made the candi-
date solely for the purpose OF defeating
the nomination Of Blaine. Had the dele.
gates from Pennsylvania who desired
Blaine's nomination been permitted 70
vote for him from the start. he would
lot.
The delegation from Pennsylvania to
the coming St. Louis convention will be
very earnestly for Quay. Like all delega-
tions there will be exceptions. but they
will be rare. A few will prefer the nomi-
nation of some other candidate. but they
are not likely to oppose the overwhelming
sentiment of the party In the state that
calls for giving Quay fair chance for the
nomination. With the support he has
from his own state he will certainly be
in the list OF hopeful candidates. although
two of his competitors may lead him on
the first ballot, but whether he shall be
nominated or not, 1t must now be evident
To all dispassionate observers or the sttua-
ton that no man can be nominated as the
Republican candidate for president with
out the support OF Quay.
