WORLD The June Calendar Full of Wedding Dates. THE BRIDES OF NEXT WEEK White Satin, Tulle and Orange Blossoms. OTHER INTERESTING TOPICS A June bride Is an ideal personage, but it must be also alleged that she is likewise a very practical young woman. White satin and tulle have the call, so far as bridal finery is concerned, and contem- plating the wearing of a heavy satin gown the past few days has really made several on the June list wish ihey had selected something a little less ideal, in the hopes of feeling a trifle cooler when all the rig is on. There is one consolation that the high-stock collar has been superseded in the fashion plates by flat frills of lace, or, in fact, no collar at all, the round or V- shaped opening being considered quite the thing again. Unfortunately these arrange- ments are not near as becoming as the hizh crushed collar, and, therefore, the lat- ter remains just where it has been in the public favor, no matter what kind of weather it happens to be. 5 ‘The wedding month here opens up pre: well, and some of the events will be made eccasions of not only large family gather- ings, but also of out-of-town friends. ‘Those for which invitations have been the longest out will take place next week.

The cost of main- taining the chain gang during the year was $1,446.30, an increase ef $186.58 over last year. As the fines decreased, the expenses for running the chain gang were increased. Notes.

Under the last order of the District Com- missioners concerning street obstructions and the occupancy of public space for pri- vate purposes the police are preparing to institute proceedings against several hun- dred persons, among them being lumber dealers and merchants generally, who are occupying the parks and other public spaces, and next Tuesday the cases will come vp for final disposition. Included in these cases are those of the Louisiana avenue dealers, and as Judge Kimball has already passed upon the law in similar cases Prosecuting Attorney Pugh is con- fident that he will win the cases and the occupants of the public spaces ‘will have to move.

Mr. Callahan said that this shed had been leased to a man named Nelson and that Halliday had succeeded him. So far as he concerned he was willing that the building should be torn down. Mr. Pugh said that the shed was in the way of the men at work on the electric toad construction. Lawyer Colbert represented the defend- ant and Lawyer Lambert, who is inter- | ested in other property along the river front, was present and took part in the | discussion.

DEMOCRATS LITTLE AHEAD —___>+—___ Special From a Staff Correspondent. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 30, 1995. The republicans of Kentucky are laying their plans to carry the state at the next election, that is, for the election of state oflicials, and to make a situation in tne legislature also which may throw the elec- tion of a democratic Seenator in doubt. The republican leaders of the state with whom the writer has talked profess to be very hopeful of success. ‘They say that at the congressional elec- tion last November the total democratic yote was 160,400 and the republican vote was 157,02: There were 18,287 populist votes and ‘78 probibitionists. These fig- ures are from the official records. Five republican Congressmen were elected out of eleven and two more are contesting. It will be seen from these figures, the re- publicans say, they have a good fighting chance, under ordinary circumstances, but they claim that under existing conditions, with the democracy of the state almost sure to be hopelessly divided on the silver question, their chances of success are wi derfully increased. The hope thus held out has stimulated them to renewed effort, and they are planning and preparing for a vigorous campaign. Republican Convention. The republican state convention will meet here June 5, and it is said to be a fore- gone conclusion they will either reaffirm their adherence to the financial plank of the republican national platform, or will utter a strong sound money declaration. There is said to be no likelihood whatever that even an attempt will be made to give a free silver ring to the proceedings, and if it were attempted, it is claimed it would be an absolute failure. The republicans of this state congratulate themselves upon being air tight on the financial question, although some democrats insist there is a free silver faction among the republicans also. The republican convention is de- clared to be almost cut and dried before hand, and unless something entirely un- foreseen occurs it will probably be a har- monions meeting, resulting in a vigorous lining up for battle. The republicans, of course, are basing a Great deal of their hope upon the action of the democratic convention, which will meet later in the month. They are doing more praying than is usual among politicians, and the burden of their prayer is that the democrats may go off on a free coinage tangent. View of n Republican Len or. “If they declare for free coinage we have got them,” said a republican leader to the writer, “and even if they d6 not come out for silver, maybe we'll get them anyhow. If a free coinage platform is adopted, the bulk of the sound money democrats will stay away from the polls, 1 b onservative people of tis stat Vote such a ticket.

Representative Me candidate for the senatorship, was ity today and expressed to the writer his hope of making a successful fight for the place. He gave it as his opinion that the free silver ferment is subsiding and said he thought it could be overcome by the sound money sentiment before the election is held. “You know I have always been a sound money man,” he said, “and the people in Washington who are familiar with my record know that is all in line with sound money.” It is the opinion of conservative men of all classes that if a split occurs in the democratic party of this state and the re publicans gain’ victories in consequence, the men who have engineered the silver movement for their personal ends will thenceforth be politically dead. An Unwise Move. Conservative democrats, even those sus- pected of a leaning toward silver, while not willing to adopt unlimited free coinage, join in the expression of the opinion that it was exceedingly unwise to saddle the de- mocracy with the free silver issue just on the eve of a bitter struggle with the repub- licans over the state offices. So the game has become a desperate one with the free silver candidate: It is not only to secure their present election to of- fice that they must battle, but to preserve their political future also. The silver men are already beginning to fear they have made a mistake in springing the question so soon. The unexpected and vigorous re- sistance of the opposition has somewhat staggered them, and they realize that the period elapsing between now and election time will furnish too much opportunity for the sound money propaganda to operate. N. O. M. KEEP ALOOF. POPULISTS MAY ot Join the Free Silver Demo- crats of Minois, Special From a Staff Correspondent. SPRINGFIELD, I, June 1—The most significant feature of the democratic politt- cal situation in Illinois prior to the meet- ing of the free silver convention next week is the imminent probability of the Altgeld free silver people failing to enlist the pop- ulists with the silver democracy. As is well known, one of the main hopes of the present movement by the silver democrats ig that they will get the support of the populists and the free silver republicans to counteract the loss of sound money democrats. I saw yesterday a letter to Mr. S. V. Arnold, member of the executive commit- tee of the populist state central commit- tee, from W. H. Harvey, in which the lat- ter says: “Stick to your principles. I will not be in the convention. It has my sym. pathy, but not my political affiliation.” Harvey is the author of ‘“Coin’s Financial School,” and a populist of long standing, and is now regarded as likely to lead the populist movement in the west, having come prominently to the front. The political prophets here attach great significance to the letter. They say it means the demolishing of the Altgeld de- mocracy’s hope that they can look to the opulists for support. Mr. Arnold says this ew is correct, as the populists will not combine with the democrats even on free silver at 16 to 1. It is understood that Chairman Maxwell May 3 jin a fight. of the populist state central committee holds this opinion also. It s2ems to be the idea of the populists that this free silver movement is but a flash in the pan arranged by some demo- cratic politician for political purposes sole- ly, and that if failure threatens it by next election they will drop the movement. It ig the purpose of the populists when that occurs to Re in line to absorb the reliable free silver democrats. The stand taken by the populists is a great disappointment to the free silver people. It is reported that Secretary of State Hinrichsen and Gov. Altgeld are now in communication with some of the popu- list leaders in efforts to prepare a set of resolutions of the silver convention which will be acceptable to populists and demo- ersts alike, but with little hope of success. The democratic state convention, which Metts here next Wednesday, will almost undoubtedly declare for frea silver. It is estimated by Secretary of State Hinrichsen, who is at the head of the movement, that there will not be 10 per cent of anti-silver men in the convention. “The outcome of that convention,” said Mr. Hinrichsen, in answer to a question, “willbe the complete reorganization of the democratic party of Hlinois on lines laid down by the convention.” As Gov. Altgeld’s lieutenant and present manager, Mr. Hinrichsen’s utterances may be taken as authoritative for that faction ef the party. “In this reorganization,” ve will lose some of our peoples Their de- rarture will be a good thing, as demon- strating the earnestness of the free silver movement. The majority of the sound money democrats will still vote the ticket, just as the protection democrats in the porth have done when low tariff was on tep.”” Preparations are being made for a great free silver gathering. There will be about 1,050 regular delegates, but each large city is to send marching clubs, and every effort be made to show the extent of the free sil- ver strength in the state. N. O. M. GETTING TOGETHER IN MICHIGAN, he continued, Address Issued by ‘the Sound Money Democrats. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., May 30, 1895. The advocates of sound mcney are begin- ning to get together to combat what they call “the free silver fad." The democrats are the first to move in the matter, and this city is the scene of their operations. ‘They have organized a democratic sound money league, with such men enrolled as John §. Lawrence, John E. More, Dr. Chas. S. Hazeltine, E. F. Sweet, P. C. Ful- ler, Judge John W. Champlin, Dr. G. K. Johnson, A. S. White, W. W. Hyde, Gen. i. C. Smith and others equally prominent, and have issued the following address: To the democrats of Western Michigan: We, the undersigned, are opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver by the United States alone at the rate of 16 to 1, as this would unquestionably mean monometallism, forcing out of circulation $627,923,200 of gold, which Is more than half of our entire stock of metallic money, thus producing widespread distrust, great- ly injuring publit and private credit, dis- turbing the commercial! relations with for- elgn countries, forcing the return of our securities held abroad, causing financial distress far greater thin that from which We are just recovering. Not only would action of the government authorizing the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, thus changing the standard of value used in commercial transactions, be a violation of sound money but at this time it would be inexpedient. Better Times Coming. There are already abundant signs that healthy commercial conditions will be reached in a natural way, and when they have been reached, as they surely will be, we hope that it cannot be said that the democratic party did aot have faith enough In its own principles to trust a cure to their steady and resolute application.

The republicans are not entirely happy on the financial issue. It is true the party platforms thus far have straddled the financial question, but some of the most influential members of the party in the state, including ex-Gov. Luce, James M. Turner, James O'Donnell, Congressman Ait- ken ard J. G. Ramsdeil, are proaounced advocates of silver. This element will en- deavor to get the state convention to adopt a silver plank, The sound money men in the republican camp will organize to prevent such a step, and in all prob- ability will sueszed, leaving the party still on the fence until after the repub tional convention.

I have not met such voters in New York.’ “What would be your financial policy?” Senator Hill was asked. “I would exterminate ferever the green- back dollars, which, by the endless re- demption chain, make the chieftest of our existing currency woes. I would, by inter- national bimetallism, by free bimetallic ccinage on a ratio of 15 1-2, and not by Senator Sherman's bastard bimetallism ex- emplified in his law of 1890, now repealed, lft our standard silver doliar into a world- wide parity with our gold dollar. I would thereby put an end to the degradation of any coined dollar of ours. I would not have, as now, one ratio, which is 16, for our silver dollars, and a higher ratio, as new, for our minor silver.

The business men are realizing that this dread of free silver is now the only thing that stands in thy way of a return to prosperity.
