ven,ion OF New York made no reference
TO the silver question In its platform. >"
and adds that the gold bugs are welcome
70 any consolation that they may obtain
"in view of the fact that the whole
course and outcome OF the convention
shows that the drift and tendency OF the
party IN New York IS 10 place itself
squareIy In line with the national organi-
zatlon."
Then. why in the name OF party regu-
iarity. did the silver Democrats bolt the
convention and put up ticket OF their
own? II the party is acting in the IN
terest OF silver. what possible excuse can
these silver Democrats have for boiling?
II the party in New York IS trying to
promote the silver cause, how comes It
that tho sound money Democrats have
publicly expressed their intention TO sup
port the Van Wyck ticket?
For our part. we are quite satisfied
with the action of the New York Demo
cratic Convention. Judge Van Wyck,
from all that we can hear about him, Is
a man of high character and a good Demo-
crat. lie stands upon a good Democratic

OPPOSITION TO FREE SILVER IN
THE SEVENTH DISTRICT.

II seems now that the free silver can
didate in the seventh District the Hon.
James Hay, VIII not have an uncontest-
ed walkover TO Congress. and that this
is principally due TO his own unqualified
advocacy Of the free coinage Of silver
the Chicago platform and to his record
in the matter Of bringing about the re-
cent war;
We do not know the details Of Mr.
Hays war record. but he has renewed
his allegiance TO free silver and the Chi
cago platform in such way as to pro-
woke the antagonism Of men who had no
disposition TO oppose man OF modern
views. it is hard TO understand how men
who were once sound money Democrats,
as that term was understood before 1896,
should now become vehement supporters
of free silver when that heresy IS palp-
ably on the decline. But this seems TO
be the political judgment Of Mr.. lay and
of his campaign partner, Senator Mar
tin, There is something particularly
noticeable in the silvery enthusiasm OF
platform converts. Regularity IS one
thing but effusivo zeal is quite another.
If our free silver leaders in Virginia had
had the wisdom Of the New York Dc
mocracy there would be little difficulty IN
uniting the Democratic party here.
We understand that Mr.. d. c. o'Flah-
erty, who is now the mayor OF Front
ROYAL and q brilliant young lawyer and
who worked with the sounz money Demo
Gratis IN the fiery ordeal Of 1896. will con-
test the place in Congress for the Seventh
District with Mr.. Hay. Mr. OFlaherty
will thus be able TO undo much Of the
injury which Mr.. Hay has been inhicting
upon the minds Of the people in that
district and to refute fallacies which
would otherwise go unchallenced, and
generally to do good work in maintaining
sound principles. 1t would be little short
Of a default of justice for such district
as the Seventh 10 be turned over without
protest to the ravages Of the free silver
propogadists. Mr.. OFlaherty has been
a consistent Democrat, and he repre-
sents the principles OF the Indianapolis
platform and will no doubt command the
support of all who are opposed to free
silver and the Chicago platform and who
resent the unnecessary precipitation OF
this war.

NOTHING FRENCHY ABOUT 1T.

So much has been said about the mis-
management Of the war that there IS a
universal demand for investigation. But
while the people have demanded this in
vesugation they have not done so in any
spirit Of anger or vengeance. Some news
papers and politicians, for selfish reasons
Of their own, would like 10 see Secretary
Alger disgraced. whether or not, but that
IS not the spirit Of the great American
public. The American people love justice
and they desire in this case that justice
shall be done TO all persons concerned.
They want an impartial investigation and
that all the facts shall come out. II
there has been mismanagement, If there
has been crookedness in the purchase OF
vessels. in the selection Of camps or in
the disbursement of government Funds,
the people want 20 know it. But If the
Department can show that its skirts are
clear and that the charges againstit are
without foundation in fact, the great jury
Of the people will render a verdict of not
guilty
We have no such condition here as ex-
lists IN france. We condemn no man
without giving him a fair trial and we
render our verdicts in accordance with
the facts Happily we are not dominated
by that military spirit which subordinates
everything to the army.

PROGRESS IN CHINA.

There is no doubt that the progressive
young Emperor Of China lost his life for
his progressive sdeas. lie was disposed
20 follow the example Of Japan, 20 shake
off the shackles that have bound his peo-
pie for so many years and 10 invite the
civilizing innunce Of Christianity.
But the fact that he was put out Of the
way for these reasons does not by any
means argue that progress and Chris
tianity are not making Roadway in the
Celestial Empire. Indeed It argues the
contrary. Mr.. DENLY. ex-Minister to
China. has recently said that the Chris
tan religion has made phenomenal pro-
gress in China through the work Of Chris
tian missionaries, and that the work thus
begun and continued will end in the COM
plete redemption Of the Chinese Empire.
The late Emperor had seen the good
work that these missionaries are doing
and had so far convinced himself Of the
good influences Of Christianity as to give
him a decided leaning towards the true
faith. Those OF the inner circle. who are
opposed TO progress and Christianity,
noted this tendency Of the Emperor and
were so alarmed. doubtless. that they de-
cided upon his assassination.
But they will not in this way, nor In
any way. check the impetus of the reform
movement that has set in. Indeed they
could not have done a thing better call
culated to promote the cause Of Chris
tianlty than to murder the ruler Of the
nation because Of his inclinations in that
direction. 1.-THE blood of the martyrs Is
