leagues work before Mr.. Mckinley,
that Mr.. Hanna came down from Cleve-
land to advise, and that "both the pres,
ident-elect and Mr.. Hanna heartily IA
vored the plan"
The purpose Of these gentlemen is
laudable, but the scope is not sufn-
GENTLY embracing. 1t is true that the
advocates Of silver coinage were most
numerous in the Western states, where
the league intends to do the most of
it's work. but it is also true that the
germ Of the silver heresy lies in the
greenback heresy, and Republicans are
quite as dangerously and extensively
infected with that. Nothing is
clearer or surer than that just as long
as the government assumes, as legiti-
mate function, the issue of credit
money, just so long we will have the
advocates of more and more issues, the
cry for cheaper money with us. And
nothing is surer than that the moment
the government abjures that function,
IeHlIS the provision OF credit money 10
the sources of metallic money, inter-
fering in the former as the latter only
to assure solvency, there will be an
immediate cessation of cheap money
agitation.
This indicates where the chief work
Of the league should be put 1t is we'll
to utilize every opportunity to teach
the nature of money and the relations
of government to it-there is dire need
OF that-but it is on the Fifty-fifth con-
gress that the fire should be concen-
trated. 1t lies within the power Of
that body to eliminate forever the
cheap money question, as it is also in
its power, by simple neglect, to increase
it to a degree that will sweep the
country next year and in 1900. Sound
money Democrats will not again make
such sacrifice as they did last year,
If there is to be no currency reform.
Better a plunge into f1atism and have
it over than to be perpetually hanging
on the verge Of it.

THE TEXAS ONCE MORE FLOATS.
Hundreds Of Galveston Citizens In
sDeCt the Vessel

NEW ORLEANS, La. Feb. 21-A
special from Galveston says: The
battleship Texas crossed the bar this
morning and came to anchorage five
miles out. Today the members of the
G A. r. were the special guests Of
Capt. Glass At $50 the launches Of
the Texas were at pier 20 to convey the
veterans. their wives and daughters
out to the ship, wE.are they spent the
day quite pleasantly The Texas being
anchored in the gulf did not deter
large crowd from going out to her
and her launches were kept busy all
day conveying them aboard the battle
ship and back to their boats. The
launches, however were not equal to
the emergency and large numbers re-
turned with only a sight of the ship.
Tomorrow the Texas will begin re-
ceiving coal and Wednesday will weigh
anchor and sail for New Orleans. to be
an attraction at the Mardi Gras fes-
tvities. unless such complications
should arise out OF the DR.. Ruiz in

WHERE WORK Is NEEDED

When the ballot boxes revealed the
startling fact that over six million vot-
ers, but little less than half of all. had
cast their approving vote for a none
tary policy that never yet failed to
bring commercial wreck, there was a
general assent to the proposition of
the Republican campaign managers
that the campaign of education must
go increasingly on during the next
four years Later, about the time Of
the assembling Of congress, it was
given out that Mr.. Hanna wished the
agitation dropped. Why was not stat
ed, but 1T may be surmised that it was
connected somehow with the mission
of our unofficial plenipo, Senator VOL
colt, to foreign courts as sort of adj
vance agent of international bimetal-
ism. But if the strategy of party re.
quired the sitting of discussion and
the shilling Of agitation interests that
felt themselves menaced by the finan-
clal heresies, and saw in the vote for
Mr.. Bryan a still pending threat, re-
fused to obey the dictum of the d.
rectOr-in- chief
The promoters Of the ron-partisan
convention that met in INDIANAPOLIS
decided that discussion ard education
should go on, even if it did conflict
with the latest policy Of Mr.. Hanna.
They had a meeting in New York and
took steps for the organization Of
National Sound Money league by an
pointing committee on organization.
which will report a constitution to a
convention composed of delegates from
all the states, which will meet in that
city on the oath inst. We gather from
the address made by Mr.. Z. V. Smallev
outlining the work to be done and what
had been done, that the object of the
league is to carry on steadily a sound
money propaganda throughout the
Union, reaching the public through ey-
cry accessible channel, and combating
the fiat money ideas at every point. 1t

The executive committee Of Mer-
chants Day met yesterday morning
and devoted about two hours and
half to a consideration Of matters re-
ferred to them by the various commit
tees and original business. When they
adjourned it was the opinion of all
concerned that the great proportion OF
the work was over, and a short ses-
sion on Monday or Tuesday for the
final approval of few details will be
all that is necessary.
AS will be seen elsewhere in this
issue of the Register public perform
ance of 1892" will be given at the
Park Casino Tuesday evening. The
admission has been fixed at 20 cents,
which is just half the price charged
when the company was here two years
ago, showing that the committee Is
disposed to give the public a chance
at the best possible performance at
purely nominal figure. Tickets VIII
be on sale at Houses Monday morning
at 9 o'clock. There will be no charge
for reserved seats. Wednesday night
the public will be shut out, as the en-
tire house has been reserved for the
guests Of the city merchants. Inc
company will arrive in this city over
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and
numbers fifty-three people.
At Yesterday mornings session or
the executive committee the contract
made I'm New York by Mr.. McMechen,
was approved, and the courteous prop
osition from the Carroll Club, giving
the visitors the run of the club house
on Wednesday, was gratefully ac-
cepted. An unofficial programme TO
be published by Messrs. Echols and
Sawtell was hlso approved, but an
official programme will be furnished
visitors. The steamboat trip has been
definitely abandoned, as the chances OF
securing a boat Of the proper size are
too remote.
Last evening Mr.. Beans, chairman
of the entertainment committee, was
informed that the Baltimore ard Ohio
road. through Mr.. T. C. Burke, had ar
ranged for a train to run over the
Terminal, B. G o. and the roads on the
Ohio side Of the river, carrying the
guests of the merchants to the neigh
boring towns free of cost. The cars
for this train will be furnished Jointly
by the railroads entering the city
All the contracts for the entertain
ment of the visitors have been signed
up. The principal ones are as follows:
Music, by the Opera House band;
luncheon in the city at noon Wednes-
day, by Joseph Stanton; dinner at the
park. by Mr.. Carney, Of the Hotel
Windsor: cake and ice cream for
same. by Mrs. Ziegenfelder; cigars, by
various dealers; other smaller matters,
by various competent people.
Responses to the invitations are
pouring in at rapid rate, and all the
indications are for big crowd and a
good time.
