The Drift Toward Gold.

While Mr.. Bryan and his associates,
refusing to accept the verdict Of last
November, are looking forward hope
fully to renewing what they call the
battle for silver at the next congress
sional elections; while a bimetallic
commission has just been appointed to
visit the European governments in the
interest Of international bimetallism,
there may be perceived all over the
world an unmistakable drift toward the
single standard Of gold. Since the ap-
pointment Of the United States COM
missioners the dispatches from Europe
indicate that their mission will be fruit
less, and that there is no more probabjl
ity of those governments returning to
bimetallism than there is Of their re-
turning to fintlock muskets for their
armies. The latest announcement is
from Russia, which is to the effect that
she is irrevocably committed to the gold
standard.
But it is not in Europe alone that
this tendency is observable. The wis
dom and apparent ease with which the
japanese government has planned the
adoption of the gold standard is one of
the marvels Of modern craftsmanship
and marks that people as among the
most sagacious nations of the earth.
Laggard China also seems to be awak-
ing from her silver dream of isolation
and is anxious to have the customs du-
ties at the treaty ports placed on IT,.
gold basis, as they substantially were
when the treaties were made. The de-
probation of silver has greatly crippled
her revenues, and now that she is COM
ing into closer financial connection with
Russia it may be assumed that her
finances will be conformed to the gold
standard.
If we turn from the far orient to our
own hemisphere, we will perceive
stirring in the Central and South Amer
lean states to reform their monetary sys-
tenn and escape the losses entailed by
an inferior and deprecated currency. A
dispatch a few days since from Lima
informed us that Peru had not only sus-
pended silver coinage but had passed a
law against the importation of silver.
Columbia has adopted the gold stand
ard, while Chill, Uruguay and Brazil
make gold unlimited legal tender and
silver in but limited sums. In Hondu-
ras, San Salvador, Costa RIGA and Santo
Domingo the gold standard has been es-
tablished by law, though deprecated
paper currency prevents the circulation
of gold at present. These movements 90
to show that those nations who are in
touch with European trade and COM
merce feel the necessity Of having the
same monetary system and that their
people are at disadvantage because of
their fuctuating and deprecated home
currencies.
And yet while these nations, admit
tedly our interiors in wealth and in
physical and intellectual progress, are
struggling out of the bonds that hold
them back there are those among US
who would imperil our vast wealth and
commerce by plunging, us down to the
silver standard. What must the nations
of the world think of such leadership

LIBERALS WIN IN QUEBEC.

Provincial Elections Result In the Over
throw of the Conservatives.
MONTREAL, May l2.-The Quebec
provincial elections resulted in the
complete overthrow of the Conserva-
tive party. In the last legislature the
parties stood: Conservatives %, Lib
erals %. These figures have been re-
versed as result of the election, the
Liberals having elected 30 members
with a probability of 81 and the Con.
servatives about 20. Among the prom
inent Conservatives defeated are G. A.
Mantel, commissioner of public works,
and Louis Beaubien, commissioner Of
agriculture. The issues Of the cam
paign were for the most part local.
The Liberals fought hard for power,
telling the voters that a victory for
their party in Quebec would strengthen
the hands of the French Canadian
premier, Wilfred Laurier. Clerical in
fuence played only a small part in the
election,

Question of improving Pearl
Harbor Leads to an Inter-
eSting Debate.

WASHINGTON, May lathe consid.
Grafton of the senate amendments to
the sundry civil appropriation bill has
been finished by the house and the bill
sent to conference. President Cleve-
lands forest reservation order was the
subject of much debate and the house
voted-1OO to 39-not to concur in the
senate amendment to annul the order
with the understanding that the con-
ferees should arrange an amendment
which would have the same effect.
The debate on this subject was par
ticipated in almost exclusively by
Western members, who pointed out
the injury to present settlers that
would result. if President Cleveland
order should become operative. Sew
eral amendments were offered but
withdrawn. Short speeches were
made by Messrs. Underwood (Dem.
Ala.), Ellis (Rep, Or, Knowles, Pop,
s. d., Lacey (Rep, Ia.), Brucker
(Dem.. Mich.), Devries Dem., Cal. },
Bailey (Dem., Tex, and Hartman

To Improve Pearl Harbor.
The most interesting debate was on
the appropriation of $50, 900 to improve
Pearl harbor in the Hawaiian Islands
which was rejected by vote of Us to 3d.
Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the appropri-
atiOns committee, moved to nonconcur,
and was warmly opposed by Mr.. Hit,
chairman of the last foreign affairs
committee. Mr.. Sayers of Texas and
Mr.. Hilborn of California supported
Mr.. Cannon, while Representatives
Cummings Of New York, Simpson of
Kansas and Henry of Connecticut
favored the appropriation. Mr.. Cum
mings and Mr.. Henry expressed the
hope that before Mckinley went out
the United States flag would fly over
Hawaii
Comparatively few Republicans were
present and the vote was nearly a
party one. Half dozen Democrats
and Populists. including Messrs. Cum
mings IN. ", Tate (Ga.), King
(Utah), and Populists Simpson and
Ridgely of Kansas voted to concur and
about dozen Republicans voted not to
concur

City Council,

The following business was transact
ed in the city council last evening:
Deputy County Road Supervisor
George Duke applied for the priv
ilege of hauling gravel from the city
gravel he'd to be put on the county
road; he had attempted to haul gravel
from the city bed and Street super
visor Johnson had refused him the
privilege. Mr.. Duke thought the
county could obtain what gravel the
county wanted without interfering
with the chutes of the city department.
Street Supervisor Johnson, who was
present, made a statement to the effect
that he had asked the county commits
sioners to apply part Of the county
poll tax on the county road in the city
(west main street,. The county COM
missioners had refused to do this. He
had refused to have gravel taken from
the city gravel beds to be put on the
county road outside of the city.
Mr.. Duke replied that 1t had been
customary, ever since he was old
enough to work poll tax, to take
gravel for the county roads from the
place in dispute.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee on streets and alleys with
power to act.
President Farrer took the floor. after
the question had been referred, and
stated that ever since he could remem-
Der the county and city had both
hauled gravel from the city gravel bed.
and was now of the opinion that there
was sufficient gravel there for both
county and city and that both should
be permitted to use 1t, but neither
should interfere with the other in the
way of obtaining the material. Other
councilmen expressed themselves sim
ilarly.
The committee on irrigation reported
in regard to delinquent taxes from
1892 to 1896, amounting to S59S.G2, which
were delinquencies principally found
