system Of its own; and while we
would welcome an international
agreement that would settle the
veXed question, we are unwilling to
defer action, or make the interest of
our own people dependent upon the
course of others.
We warn our countrymen that until
silver be upheld as money of redemp-
ton and sustained at parity with
gold, by equal privileges at the mint,
and by equal legal tender functions,
n further contraction of the currency,
and the further accumulation of
public Indebtedness, will be inevita-
BILE. We have four dollars less per
capita in circulation now than we
had in November, 1898, when the
Sherman law was repealed, and in
the present strained condition of our
resources, the deficits of revenue',and
the fall of prices, each further con
traction of money, and accumulation
of debt would paralyze business,
lower wages, and bring upon the
country widespread panic and ruin.
We hereby instruct all of the dele
gates from Virginia to the National
Convention, at Chicago, 10 vote Tor
the platform declaring for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 1G to l, and for candidates
for President and Vice. President who

Maryland heretofore counted only
as favoring the gold standard seems
to have been swept by free silver
wave. Contrary to expectation and
doubtless to the great disgust of
the Baltimore Sun, strong senti-
ment was developed in favor of the
white metal at the primaries held in
several counties of that State on last
Saturday. Maryland, however, can
always be counted upon as one of the

THE MANS FRIENDS.

The nation knows something of Tam
many Hall. 1t has been menace TO
free institutions, a stencil in the nos
trils, a disgrace to the country. It's
shameless partnership with depravity
and crime made that organization so
infamous and so detested that even
this greatest of Democratic cities buried
Tammany under a plurality of nearly
80, 900 for Republican Mayor. But
this most infamous of all political or
CARNATIONS is that which gives Mr..
Bryan the most vociferous welcome he
has anywhere received. What wonder
that the slums of New York go wild
over a man who denounces the Presi-
dent of the United States, and says the
railroad wreckers and stock jobbers
and money grabbers" have inspired his
policy, and "slobbered over him with
praise?" That is the stuff to delight

The custom by which wealthy and
public spirited citizens add to their
good works by presenting cities and
towns with roads and parks is certain
ly one which should be copied in this
country. We are quite positive it
would find favor with the common
people and we know of few better
ways in which the men with well filled
pocket books can hand their names
down to posterity. Government roads
have become such a common matter
that the people are not supposed to
appreciate them fully, but consider for
an instant the good that would be
accomplished through a monied man
setting apart portion of his income
for the construction of drive-ways,
which might open up new lands and
which surely would be source of
healthy qualification to the people pre-
Viously limited to the confines of the
city.

CONGRESS OF MOTHERS.

Washington, D. c., with its food OF
conventions, congresses and big gath
erings of societies of every name and
description, is soon TO add a very
unique and valuable assemblage to its
list of transients, in the shape of a
Mothers Congress. Transient is used
in distinction from the gathering of
statesmen and not as signifying the
character of the organization. As will
be seen from the dispatch in another
column, the congress is to be held in
February next, and circulars are al
ready being issued, calling upon the
mothers to join in this movement to
get together and consider any and all
subjects relating to the home.
1t is really refreshing to note this
new departure of what might be called
new-womanhood. The sons and daugh-
tiers have associated themselves in
every conceivable form of brotherhood
and sisterhood Every society from the
grabbed Bachelor Club to the Old Maid
Discontents has had it's national gath
ering, and proclaimed in tones respect
lively stentorian and angular that wom-
en- should do thus and men should do
so, and withaI attempting to place the
world of human beings under rules so
disagreeable that if carried out fully
would drive every last one of the race
to commit suicide in self-defense.
Heretofore the mothers have never
succeeded in getting together to pour
some motherly common sense oil on
the troubled waters and bring new
light to those who do have a regard
for the home and the children. 1t is
not to be supposed, however, that the
maternal organizations will long re-
main in the background. The kinder
garten and kindred associations are
daily bringing the duties of mother
hood into greater prominence, and it
is anticipated that in the coming con-
gress the discussion will bear especial
ly upon the broader moral and physi-
cal development as we'll as the mental
training of the young. There will also
be study of the physical and mental
evils or benefits to be found in the
present methods of instruction in the
schools. All of which will tend to bring
about a closer relationship between
the home and the institutions of learn
ing
The record of the kindergarten thus
far has shown it to be one of the
strongest weapons with which to fight
the jails, warehouses and reform
schools, and it certainly falls within
the sphere of the Congress of Mothers
to consider the means which will tend
to elevate and ennoble, which will de-
velop in the child strength of charac-
ter, which will reduce TO a minimum
the necessity for criminal institutions.

Japan's new cabinet has been styled
the bicycle cabinet on account of the
great performance of Satsuma men.
In previous years the Satsuma and
Choshu have been equally divided, but
now the personnel is such that the
Satsuma are represented by the big
wheel in front and Count Okuma the
only outsider, by the little wheel be-
hind. 1t is to be hoped that the COM
parison will not be carried still further,
until the statesmen are accused of
having wheels.

INTRINSIC VALUE.

If you lay gold dollar on the anvil
and hammer it out of shape, it is still
worth 81.
If you do a silver dollar the same
way. you hammer 46 cents out of it,
and it is worth it's bullion value only,
or 81 cents.
Gold loses coin shape, yet loses no
value But silver loses coin shape and
loses nearly half it's value. 1t is wise
to drive from the United States this
gold of fixed value by introducing the
free coinage of inferior silver and make
yourself the prey of brokers PIX.

Now the Government is well on its
way to making another step in the line
of public improvements, the promise
of speedy preparations for beginning
the work on the new wharf will be re-
ceived with no little satisfaction. Ger
tain it is that the wharf can be COM
pleted none too quickly, and it is high
ly probable that during the approach
ing busy season" the number of stea-
wharfage facilities will be greater than
ever before. Honolulu must furnish ac-
commodations for its shipping custom
ers and be prepared to give through

1t is estimated that the sweet wine
production of 1896 in the Fresno (Cal.)
district will not be within so per cent
of what it was last year. This means
that the sweet wine output will hardly
