IT would be interesting to know just where congressman Little stands on the split in the Democrat ic House minority. It is said the Congressman from this district voted for Bailey in the Dem ocartic caucus, but in the House the other day on a test vote between the Baileyites and the anti-Baileyites, Congressman Little was recorded as absent and not voting. Probably he ii,as i,ied himself iii5rneward to escape going on record on that question.

The resolve OF the local gold standard
Democrats to support the Democratic
municipal ticket, or rather to assist the
silver faction in the endeavor to pull it
through. is a demonstration of their
magnanimous and forsiving spirit. The
silver faction has all along denounced
them as traitors, and in speeches
and through the Popocratic organ in this
city they have been served notice that
never again should they be recognized
as Democrats. But their votes are bad
ly needed just now and temporary toll
Grafton of them has been ordered by the
bosses of the Bryan faction.
After the city election the work of de-
nouncing them as "boltocrats" will be
resumed at the old stand. and the Mar
kct street organ will take up Its cam
paiGn of abuse of them where it left off
a week or so ago, before 1t was called off
by the bosses. All of this is pleasant 10
contemplate-for the gold standard
Democrats, who are thus made to real
ize that after all the value Of their votes
is appreciated, In spite of the Bryan reso-
lutIons to the contrary few weeks ago.

feat OF diplomacy and Is entitled to the
greatest credit that all good Americans
can give him. It is triumph which.
while not securing to the unfortunate H.
landers the independence for which they
have been fighting SO desperately and 80
bravcly, will put a stop TO the horrors
which have shocked civilization and
grant to down-trodden people relief
from the oppression that caused them to
revolt.
1t is probably the best settlement OF
the question that could be made without
armed Interference on the part OF the
United States, and II accepted by the In
surgents, as there IS reason TO believe 1t
may be, we may soon look for brighter
day for the patriots who have struggled
so long for the right to have a voice in
their own government and relief from
exorbltant taxation. Absolute independ-
ence. in the desire for which they have
the sympathlcs of the American people,
may come later. In the meantime let US
hope that, in spite OF denials at WASH
ington. negotiations of the nature de-
scribed are really being conducted.

The intimatlop comes from Washing
ton that there is likely 70 be some oppo-
siuon on the part of certain western
scna .ors to the ratification of the Brit
ish-American arbitration treaty. It is
sincerely hoped that these gentlemen are
being mlsrepresented. II it is true, now
ever. that they are disposed to fight the
ratification, and for the reasons alleged,
st is not at all likely chat they win sue
coed.
The silver senators have such hatred
for Mr.. Cleveland, It Is stated, that while
they believe in the principle of arblua-
ton. they are not willing that his adj
ministrauon shall have the credit of hav-
ing carried to a successful ending an
agreement OF such moment. But an
other and even less creditable ground
for opposition is given in the statement
that a4nong a certain class Of these sena-
tors there exists feeling against put
ting anything In the way of possibility
of war with Great Britain at any time
'they would welcome any disturbance
likely to drive the country to a silver
basis" and are charging that we are al
ready too friendly with England and
her gold standard.
1t is hard to imagine men who will al
low their fanadcism to carry them so
far, yet We have seen these men in the
past actwith suchapparcntd disregard for
reason and such unconcern for the well
fare of the country, in the mad pursuit
of their favorlte hobby, that we may be
prepared for anything. Men who Will
use their power in the senate to obstruct
LEGISLATION for the relief OF the country
during financial crisis, in vain effort
to force their Swn hobby upon an unwil-
ling Congress, may not stop short OF
similar tactics TO defeat measure, the
eject OF which would he TO make impos-
slbIo war, during which they might be
given the opportunity to force the coun-
try to a cheap money basis.

The peculiar state Of affairs in Pleas
ant Valley, in which It appears that
members recently elected to council are
found to be Ineligible because they are
not owners of real estate, although they
are all men OF wealth and pay literally
to the support OF the corporation, calls
attention to needed act by the legisla-
ture.
The law provides that none but free
holders shall be eligible to hold office in
villages and towns Is aninheHtance from
the old state Of Virginia and IS relic Of
ante-bellum days which should be wiped
from the statute books. There was an
attempt to repeal It in the last legisla-
ture. The bill passed the house OF dele
gates. but was not acted on by the sem
ate. There is a general demand for its
repeal throughout the state, on the
grounds that 1t is inconvenient and use
less, sometimes working hardship on the
citizens. 1t is hoped that the matter
may be taken up by the legislature now
In session and acted upon.

The Intelligencer has coHtended all
along that all the cabinet talk in the
newspapers has been guess work. Major
Mckinley IS not yet prepared to an
nounce his selections and when he is
ready he will make the announcement in
a regular way. The daily publication of
states, only to be corrected the following
day, and the announcements made ION
undoubted authority" that SO and so will
have such and such portfolio, tmme-
dlately followed by ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
is making the public very tined.
Why not be patient and let the Presl-
dent-eIect make the only absolutely cor
rect announcement of qnis oflcial family
when he gets ready? Amid all the al
legged positively authentic" publications
that have.been made regarding the cah-
net up to date, but one statement seems
to be definite enough to be taken as a
certainty, and that was the announces
ment yesterday that Senator Sherman
Will be secretary Of state. Statements
concerning alb other selections lack con-
firmatlon.

THE YEAR 1896
For WHAT 1t viii be E'psolaIIy Rsmsm.
bered in History.

bsred in History.
New York Times: What were the
pre-emlnently memorable deeds and
events of the year 1896? We should
make up the list in this way:
/. In international relations: Ca) The
negotiations of a treaty of arbitration
between Great Britain and the United
States. (b) The successful application
of the Monroe doctrine in the boundary
dispute between Great Britain and
Venezuela, first asserted by Mr.. Clevs-
land on December II, 1895. but carried
out during the past year.
2. In domestic politics, including all
countries: The defeat OF Bryan and his
platform.
8. In science: The discovery OF the 60
called tx" ray by Professor Roentgen,
of Wurtzburg.
volume of poems, "The Seven Seas"
S. In commerce and industry: Ca)
The distant application on a large scale
OF the electric power generated by MI
agara Falls (b) The opening of ca
nal through the iron gates of the Dan
ube, making that river navigable to
commerce lfOtll VIC OldGh bNh " NAAe
Bavarian frontier.
6. In affective dlspensatlons: (a) The
great tidal wave in Japan, on June 10,
which destroyed $1,000 human lives and
devastated seventy miles of coast line.
(b) The trampling to death of 1,50O
persons on the Khodynsky plain dur
Ing the coronation fete5 at Moscow, on
May 80. (c) The cyclone at St. Louis,
on May %, by which five hundred per.
sons were killed. Id The sinking OF
the English steamer Drummond Castle,
on June II. drowning OF "a persons.
T. In exploration and discovery: Nan
sens journey over the Ice to point
only 225 miles distant from the north
pole.
In the religious world there has been
nothing; IN painting and sculpture
nothing; in music and the drama moth
ing that so overtops other achieve
ments as to make the prediction safe
that It win be remembered down the
ages. Jameson's raid and the tragic do
ings of Turkey In Armenia and OF
Spain in Cuba may claim at least a
footnote on the page which history de-
votes to the year 1896.
A word OF caution may be appropri-
ate as 10 our estimate OF the permanent
rank OF Efr. Klpling's poems. II would
exalted place In the whole body OF Eng
lIsh literature. We assert OF them sim
ply that they display more elemental
force than any other book produced
during the year in the English Ian
gusge. in French, In German or in
italian.
There viii probably be no dispute
about the two treaties negotiated and
now awaiting signature as the result OF
Mr.. Cleveland's Venezuela message
and Mr.. olneyis arguments, No future
historian will be likely to overlook
them.

Governor MacCorklo pays just trib-
ute to the action Of the last legislature
in providing for non-pnrtIsan boards Of
control OF the state institutions. The
system, he says. has been found 10 work
even beyond the most sanguIne expecta-
tons Of its promoters.
At the time OF the passage of the law,
some OF our Democratic friends criticised
it as partisan act OF a Republican
body designed to prevent Democratic
governor from dispensing all the patron
age to Democrats. This charge was I'M
founded: and we now have this same
Democratic executive giving it his
hearty endorsement and declaring that
It was wise departure. He bears testi-
mony to the fact that during the time Of
the action OF the nun-pardsan boards
there never has been division on party
lines in any OF them and that the con-
duct OF the Institutions has been beyond
criticism.
