Frse Silver In the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2i.-The vote In
the Senate yesterday on the Teller reso-
luton was so Overwhelmingly in favor
OF silver that there does not seem to
be any doubt that 1t will pass in that

Republicans leaders IN the House are

SILVER REPUBLICAN HEAD
QUARTERS CLOSED.
HEAD

A few weeks ago the silver Repub-
licans opened state headquarters. This
was done for the purpose of carrying
on a vigorous campaign, in which the
principles of the silver Republicans
were to be sown broadcast over the
land until they had grown so that they
had crowded all others out. The modest
headquarters were to be as a grain of
mustard seed. But now the modest
headquarters have been closed, the
grain of mustard seed was sterile; in
fact, the silver Republican headquar-
ters resemble nothing so much as the
famous desert of Goswell street.
The closing of the headquarters was
a sensible thing to do, for a silver Re-
publican party is a contradiction in
terms, and anyone not blinded by po-
ltical prejudice must have seen this
all the time There was no excuse for
it's existence, and in so far as it had
any object it was the restoration of
silver, thing that will be accom-
plished through the Democratic party.
The self-styled silver Republicans are
either silver men or they are Republic
ans, they cannot De DOIn. 1nOSG WHO
are truly friends of silver belong in
the Democratic party; those who are
Republicans. with only slight silver
leanings, belong in the Republican
party, the party that promulgated the
st. Louis platform.
Many who have, styled themselves
silver Republicans voted for Mr.. Bryan
in 1886 and endorsed the Chicago plat
form. All such should now walk bold
ly into the Democratic party, whose
doors are now, as they always have
been, wide open. There they will be
welcomed and received and treated as
brothers. and co-laborers, working for
the same grand principles of govern
ment, for the triumph OF the rights of
the people over organized capital and
Silver Republicans, come
into the Democratic camp; there is
your proper place; there you will be
welcome.

the reason they went to war with

QUESTIONS FOR A CoNTEM-
FORARY.

The Tribune asks if The Herald had
been compelled to make out list of
Democratic leaders a month before
the Chicago convention, whose names
would have been most prominent. AS
Stunning that by chiefs it means those
in control of the party machinery, we
Will say Cleveland, Whitney, Hill, Har-
rity, Carlisle and d host of others of
the same stripe. But We would have
ventured the prediction, without any
fear of being mistaken. that their
lease of power was about up and that
when the convention met a new set of
men would be put in control; just who
we would not have ventured to pre-
dict for a certainty, save that out of
the hundreds capable and qualified
men would have been chosen who
would have been in perfect accord
with the will of the people who COM
posed the Democratic porty.
Having answered our contemporary,
we will ask question. Will the Tri-
hune give US a list of the recognized
leaders of the Republican party today
who have been regularly and consti-
tutionally chosen, and who, under
proper conditions, have authority to
speak for the party? And, while about
it, viii the Tribune please give the
views OF the said leaders on the silver
question? Will the Tribune also advise
us whether the men chosen at st.
Louis as the constituted authorities of
the party have the Republican banner
or ensign, or was it carried away by
the gentlemen who walked out of that
convention?

END OF THE WAR.

The war is over. The angel of peace
has spread her wings across this land
again. Liberty has WOE another tri-
umph and progress has passed an
other goal.
Columbia wears a wreath of victory
and ribbon of crepe. There is iov
for the bondmen freed and sorrow for
the brave men fallen.
1t was a holy war, waged for help
less humanity. Men gave their lives
that others might live; to end the tor
ture of fellow to protect the honor
of womanhood. TO rescue innocent
babes from butchery and starvation.
The contest was unequal and the re-
suit IS no surprise. 1t was a battle
between the past and present. Ignor-
ance challenged intelligence to mortal
combat. Vigilance met and vanquished
treachery.
The struggle was brief. It turned
upon two naval victories which des-
troyed the hope of Spain and astonish-
ed the world. American achievements
throughout, on land and sea, were
marked with examples of heroism I'M
surpassed.
1t was a courage sublime that stood
before the fire of Spanish desDera-
ton 1t was the American spirit that
struck terror to the heart of supersti-.
tious Spain; the spirit that actuated
men who never faltered in the face of
death.
1t is a relief to reach the end how
ever short a war may be. And it is
satisfaction to feel that all we asked,
and more. we have compelled: that
everything We started out to do is done.
