FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. IL, 1885.

WHEN the boilers deserted their par
ty in 1896, they said it was the fear of
the restoration of silver coinage that
depressed business and prevented the
return of industrial activity. Two
years have elapsed since then, and now
they say, as an excuse for the delay Of
prosperity, that the passage by the
Senate Of resolution for the redemp'
ton of U. S. bonds with silver dollars,
is "the threat which casts its baleful
shadow over all business transactions,
prevents daily labor from securing its
just reward, and impairs the sense OF
settled security" On, no. The present
condition is conducive to the increased
price of gold and to the enhanced value
of stocks and bonds; and that is just
what the boilers want.

THE DE LONE INCIDENT.

A dispatch from Madrid says the
government feels severely the blow
which has fallen upon it in the indis-
erection of Dupuy De LONE, Spanish
minister ct Washington, whose resigna-
ton was accepted yesterday at cou1-
Gil held in the palace, but the broad
minded attitude taken by President
Mckinley that between She tanlt OF It's
minister and the Spanish government
there can be no connection OF RESPONSE
bilitv, it is felt, will be shared by all
unprejudiced Americans, and that even
if the iunta has scored one, the means
EMPLOYED will not appeal to that class
of Americans whose goodwill 1t Is
SPANS desire to have.
The Spanish ministry continues to
talk most hopefully and peacefully.
General Woodford refuses to say any.
thing, but the best information is that
the situation is becoming very strained.
IL is stated on excellent authority
that a recent note Of Spain to the United
States is not in any way in the nature
of demand or appeal for sign OF
friendliness from the United States
government, and not in any way meant
to impede the progress of the negotla'
tions or open new exchange of notes.
The governments note does not even
call for reply.
Senior Sagasta, the premier, and other
members of the cabinet state publicly
that the De LONE incident will not
affect the relations between Spain and
the United States, and that q new en-
voy, competent to conduct the COM
mercial negotiations, will be selected.
It is understood that Senior De Lome's
successor will be prompted appointed.
A dispatch from Washington says
"The administration is rot satisfied
with the acceptance by the Spanish
government of the resignation OF Minis
ter De LONE. President Mckinley
has demanded the Spanish Ministers
recall, and will insist upon it, coupled
with disavowal from Spain regarding
the insulting letter."
