Mr. Carlisle rightly estimated the situa-

with men who did not wish to hear them.
The demonstrations and reservations
Of the free coiners are meagre arguments
in reply to the action OF India

Austria.
Gold is now the established standard of
the world as it has been Of the United

Does our contemporary mean fusion or
union? We prefer to think that he means
union. and that he stands where Tom
Watson stands. watson says that II the
Democratic party. in the estimation OF
the Popullsts, is so near right as that
the Populsts may fuse with It. the Popu-
lists should join that party without
money and without price. without eondi-
tons and without reservations"
Last year the Popullsts were so wei
pleased with the Chicago platform and
the nominee OF the Chicago Convention
that they were willing to unite and did
unite with the Chicago party in their ef-
forts to elect AIr. Bryan to the Presi-
dency.
Now we are told that the Chicago pat
form is to be reaflrmed by the forth
coming Chicago Party Convention IN VIZ
ginia, and. as the Index-Appeal says we
see no reason why the Populists may not
again unite with this party In virginia
1t may be. indeed, that the Chicagoists
are going to reahirm the Chicago plat
form for the purpose Of polling the Popu-
list vote.

MONUMENT TO confederate Wo
MN.

Senator Daniels suggestion that a mon
ument be erected to the women OF the
South, has been cordially approved. II
Is not a new suggestion, however. Time
and again have Southern men expressed
a desire to erect monument to the noble
women Of the Confederacy who were so
loyal to the Southern cause. and who dis
played such sacrifice and heroism during
the memorable struggle Of lS6l-'65.
The only reason that such monument
has not been erected is because the wo-
men themselves have opposed It. When
ever they snail indicate that they desire
a monument, or that they are willing
that It should be erected, the Necessary
money will be promptly and willingly con-
tributed.

our esteemed neighbour the Richmond

the Dispatch Is inconsistent Our neigh
Dor does us an injustice. We are all in

out last year for free silver, not only con-
fessed its Inconsistency. but said that It
was Of mo consequence"
We are not making war on our esteem
ed neighbor, and We trust that it will
believe US sincere IN that statement. Our
purpose Is far different. and has wider
scope. The simple fact is that The Times
contends that free silver is tempo
rary issue" that the Democratic party
should not try TO departyize any good
man whether he be a monomet or q
bimet;" that "the principles Of the Dem
ocratic party do not depend for their per-
petuity upon any such temporary issue
as the silver question" That the silver
question has no part in the forthcoming
campaign in Virginia. These are our
contentious now. and such were the con-
tentions Of the Dispatch in the past. The
Dispatch says that II Is right now and
that Il was wrong then We think not. We
think that the Dispatch was right then
and that IL is wrong now. Its arguments
In the past were strong and logical in
support OF the contentious Of The Times.
and we have quoted the Dispatch TO for
tify our position. The matter Of con-
sistency is a side issue.
