COMMERCE. GONE MAD.


We quote the following from Sena-
tor Dubois last effort:
"He said that mats were made in ia
pan equal to ours. They were brought
to this country and sold. If a man
brought 5000 worth of mating lie sold
it for gold. He would then take the
gold and exchange it for $500 in silver
with which to pay his labor. He would
make 100 per cent on the ratio of ex-
change, and no law could be made high
enough to protect us with this ruinous
rate against u.s."
One Dobson, brother to the man
whoi owned the colt, we presume, is
represented in the Senator's speech as
projecting the above. Holy smoke,
what a knowledge of commerce this
our senator hath The idea of jap

worth Of mats into his pistol pocket,

ing the globe with them in order to get
the profit on exchange. Let us kneel.
But here is question for this genius
of. commerce. When an American
merchant buys an invoice of goods in
Japan does he pay for it in United
States money or in exchange on japan
When an American importer buys
from England, does he pay in the mon
ey of this country or in the money of
that? Go to, go to Senator, that man

a man for position, it asks only three
questions: First, is this man a patri'

possessed of excellent parts. Hehas up
on many occasions occupied positions of

no man has ever dared breathe a
whisper against his conduct. There
is not a man in Caldwell who would
not trust George Alley with any com

HOT FIGHTING IN INDIANA.

OFF MKINLEY INSTRUCTIONS.

EX-PREsIDENT TO ADDRESS THE CON-
vENTIoN-HE rs LIKELY TO DE-
CLINE TO DO so.

CLINE TO DO so.
Indianapolis, May 5--Nearlv all Of the Republ'-
can leaders Of the State have arrived here to at
tend the State Convention, which meets In Tom
linson Hall on Thursday morning. The gathering
promises 10 be highly interesting. The principal
features will be the fight on instructions between
the Mckinley men and the old Harrison faction.
the effort to induce General Harrison to address
the convention, which Is being bitterly opposed
by the McKinleyites. the nomination OF State
ticket and the attempt Of Charles w. Fairbanks
to show his strength by having himself chosen as
a delegate-a t-large to st. Louis. Fairbanks Is
Senatorial candidate, and If he can land the ST.
Louis honor 1t will bc taken an indication that
he can also get the Senatorship.
Up to to-day 1t looked as though the Mckinley
faction had sure thing in the matter Of instruc-
tions but as the outside delegates arrive the out
look Is being changed. They are found to be al
most unit against instructng the Indiana dele
cation.
The prospect Of the appearance Of General Har-
rlson at the conver ton has sent terror into the
Mckinley ranks They fear that such an occur
renee would stampede the delegates and ruin
their chance of getting instructions for their
champion. General Harrison has been invited to
speak. but he has not yet replied to the invita-
tor. The general belief Is that. under the cir
cumstances and knowing as he does the erect
that his appearance In the convention hall might
have he will decline to accept the honor In
fact he Is said to have lntima ted this determna-
tlon to q few Of his friends but he will be urged
to appear. nevertheless
Next In Importance is the selection OF STATE
ticket. Never before in the history OF the state
has there been such grist of aspirants for the
offices to be filled. For Governor there are
thirteen candidates, all of whom seem to have
fair following with Major Doxey. Of Anderson,
slightly in the lead, II his assertions may be
trusted. II is said that the Fairbanks and Doxey
forces have combined. It is impossible TO forecast
the result of a single nomination with certainty;
and the prospects that the convention VIII
time.
The platform will be short. and. although there
has recently been q show made on the part Of the
free-silver advocates, IT may safely be said tnat
the convention will declare for sound money, and
send sound-money delegates to ST. Louis.
On all sides Is heard talk as TO the probability
of General Harrison's name being sprung at 81.
Louis II Is contended that an emergency might
arise which would warrant the use of his name.
despite his distinct and expressed wishes TO the
contrary and this IS said to be reason why
the anti Mckinley will fight TO the death
rather than permit the Indiana delegation to be
sent 10 St Louis with instructions for the Ohio
candidate All in ALL the hottest kind Of a strug-
gle may be expected.

GOV. MORTON HAS UNTIL TO-DAY TO ACT
on THE GREATER NEw-YORK BILL


on THE GREATER NEw-YORK BILL
Albany, May SpeciaD.-Governor Morton
said tonight that he probably would not dis
close his decision upon the Greater NewYork
bill until some time next week. Il have given
until Friday" said he. "for certain gentlemen
to file briefs who wish to be heard upon the
bill"
1t reported here from New-York to-day
that Edward Lauterbach had expressed some
lack OF confidence in Governor Morton sign
Ing the Greater New-York bill. If Mr.. Morton
has given any hint that he thinks of vetong
the kill Mr.. Lauterbach's enormous interest In
having the life OF the Lexow Greater New
York Committee prolonged is explained. Some
foundation. in Mr.. Lauterbach's opinion, was
necessary for legislation next year establish
ing State Commissions In New-York, and. there
fore. the Lexow committee was re-endowed with
life for this purpose, as a precaution, II the
Greater New-York Commission should fail to
come into being.
The Governors clerks said to-day that tney
thought the Legislature had left 100 bills upon
the hands Of the Governor. This is the largest
number in many years. and 1t Is an evidence
that the Legislature could not have done lts
work thoroughly. No such number or Diils
could have been examined carefully and passed
with deliberation.
