They Know Not what Thev DO.

IL appears that the Boston business men
have voted down resolution, submitted
% a meeting OF their Associated Board
of Trade, in favor ofinternatIonal bimetal-
lism. On the other hand, special commit
tee was appointed to consider the recon-
mendatioD Of the Merchants Association
of Boston in favor OF the single gold stand
ard.
These Boston business men are presum-
ably well read and intelligent, especially
since many horses are intelligent They
live far away, on the very eastern edge OF
the country, it is true; and it would be
unreasonable to expect them TO understand
the irresistible industrial potency of the
Middle West and the great Far West. II
they would stop TO think a moment, how
ever tor rather if they would study the
question deeply and also commune a little
with their own cunscicnces, mere CONNER
cial considerations aside for the momentl,
they would see that their own special and

great, borrowing millions of the West.
upon whomtheythemselves depend, are tied
up absolutely in the welfare OF bimetaIlism.
Their differing relation to the central
money power is only one of degree. They
are only little less removed from it, and
the inevitable logic of their contention
is that they, as well as their own debtors,
must some time find themselves unable to
pay because of their inability to overtake
the accumulation of their debts.
A still more pointed fact is that the farms
and the railroads of the West, if they could
only he made TO pay, would Immediately
put money in the pockets of these Boston
Investors, who, If truth could only be con-
fessed, would admit that they are dis
gusted with the present condition of things

Col. Hav and His Netpbbors.

We read with distinct excitement that
Col. John Hay is preparing to assume his
Duties at the Court OF st. james after
Easter, and, what is still more satisfactory
and exciting, he has taken the Earl OF
Caledon's house at No. Carlton House
Terrace from April I6 Moreover, this is
next door TO Mrs. John W Mackey's; and
Col Hays other Deighbors will be Lord
william Beresford, the Earl OF LonsdaIe,
william Waldorf Astor, the German am
bassador, and the Duke OF Grafton. Again,
the entrance TO Col Hays prospective resi-
6ence is from Pan Mall and Waterloo Place.
These overlook the Horse Guards Parade
and the Mall. and adjoin Marlborough
House.
How delightfully swell an this is going
90 be, TO be sure. And won't Col. Hay
have jolly tire of it, visiting among all
these neighbors, and permitting the ser
wants below stairs, just for the advancement
of American diplomacy, OF course. to loan
them a couple of eggs on occasion, or a
half pint OF milk or a spoonl We are person

Billiards for Women.

Unlike some OF cur esteemed contem-
poraries, we are inclined TO look with
favor upon the proposed st. Louis expert
ment Of running billiard hall exclusively
for women The details Of the plan are
meager; but we take it, briefly, that there
wiz be the usual number of tables in the
place, the usual number of chairs, high and
low; TIE usual number of missing pieces OF
chalk, big and little, and the usual number
OF missing cues, crooked and straight; nor
ought il to be expected, Of course, that
there win not be the usual amount OF mis-
cuing.
We understand il to be well-established
baseball successfully though the Y have been
known TO wash windows, to split kindling
wood. Go jump hastily upon chairs if
mouse has been thought to be present in
the room, and even to climb trees when
it has seemed a case of absolute necessity.
We shall not assume. therefore, simply be-
cause a woman cannot run bases and bat
the leathern sphere over the head OF the
second baseman, that she cannot play
billiards. Indeed, we believe that records
could be produced to show that she has
already played billiards with considerable
success in foreign countries, if not in this.
That a billiard parlor devoted exclusively
TO ladies would meet the approval of the
ladies themselves is another question. But
that is psychological rather than anatom-
zeal.

For senior de LONE to Answer.

We happen t. have run across what pur-
ports to be book just publisher by senor
DBpuy dc LONE. the Spanish minister; and
in order that our readers may guess for
themselves whether senor de LONE wrote
itor not, and in order to give the gentleman
himself an opportunity TO deny that he
wrote it or TO state when he wrote it and
how he happened to do such thing, we
print herewith several paragraphs from
the book, which are certain to be enter
tanning to the general reader, as well as
of special interest to particular persons.
This literary work seems to have been en-
titled Around the World from Madrid to

Madrid, March 1O.-A dispatch from Ma
nils, the capital Of the Philippine Islands,
TO the 1mparcial, says that the situation
there is very unsatisfactory, and that i5
will be necessary for Spanish troops to oc-
cupy the entire island in order to rom-
pletely crush the rebellion. The rebels ara

their action, and the approaching rainy

in the Philippines is worse than that IN

''The Old Homestead that quaint and
delicious play OF New England farm life,
by DenmaD Thompson will be with US
once again at the Lafayette Square Opera
House, beginning Monday, March Is.

hers as last year: Archie Boyd, as Joshua
Whitcomb; w. NJ. Cressy, as Cy Prime;
Charles II. Clark, as Seth Perkins; Marie
Kimbail. as Aunt Matilda; and Fred Clare,
as the tramp. The double male quartet of
The Old Homestead, which was always
a popular feature, will render a new Sc
lection OF old-fashioned melodies and har-
monies, led by Dick Jose, the fayorite
tenor. The scenery-the old farm yard
inN New England, "A drawing room In New
York mansion, Grace Church by moonlight,
and the interior OF Joshua Whitcomb's
home, have all been painted new. The
transition of a twilight scene on the
old farm yard into a thunder storm is
one OF the electrical effects. Forked
lightning plays about the stage TO the
accompaniment OF most excellent stage
thunder.

OF Pearl Bryan's Parents.
Greencastle, Ind, March 10.-Mrs. WALL
ing, the mother of Alonzo WaIlipg, ar
rived here last evening In her last effort to
secure from the Bryans the promise of in
tercession with Gov. Bradley In behalf of
her son.
Mrs. Walling was freely admitted to the
Bryan's home circle The meeting between
the two mothers was a protracted one
and toward the close both were deeply
affected. Mrs. Bryan, while she did not
make any downright promise OF appealing
to the governor by writing herself, did
not absolutely decline to do so, it is said.
1t is thought now that the Bryans will et
least state to the governor that clemency
shown Walling will not meet their disap-
proval. Mrs. w aliiDg returns to Gin
