The Democratic Party Still Favors Free Silver. ——_-_-—— EMPTY HONOR + AN The friends of Judge Crisp are of opinion that the disposition now being made of him by his opponents in his own party is some- what subject to revision. As they view the matter, his leadership of the minority in the House at the coming session is entirely in- dependent of any convictions he may euter- tain on either the silver question or the tariff question. The matter, they claim, is settled by precedent, and therefore is al- ready settled. According to Precedent. Judge Crisp, according to this opinion, will be the leader of the minority in this Congress by reason of having been the lead- er of the majority in the last Congress. Speaker Reed will so decide, and from that decision there will be no appeal. Judge Crisp will be placed at the head of the minority on ways and means, and at the head of the minority on the committee on rules. That will fix his status in the Hou: and give him the prestige of minority rec ognition and leadership. The Speaker will consider the minority throagh him, and in that way definitely dispose of the question. As to whether the minority fs agreed on the more important subjects coming up for set- tlement is something, it is held, about which the Speaker need not, and will not, concern himself. That is for the minority to attend to. He will follow the rule of courtesy and right, and if Judge Crisp cannot manage his team the blame will be with the judge, and not with the man who gave him the lines. Democratic Party Still for Silver. ‘There is another point. Speaker Reed, it fs said, holds with other republican leaders that the democratic party is still as a party in favor of free silver. Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle are classed as the leaders of only a small portion of the party—a fac- tion powerless when not in co-operation vith the republican part But Judge Crisp ts accepted as the leader of the men who gave Gen. Hardin all the votes he received in Kentucky, and who in Missis- sippi carried the state on a free silver plat- form. It is insisted, therefore, that for Mr. Reed to consider Mr. Catchings of Missis- sippl as an opponent of Judge Crisp on the silver question, or Judge Patterson of ennessee as sich opponent, when Judge Patterson's distinction in Congress is founded on the fact that he is the only sound money man in the House from that state, would be illogical if not absurd. Judge Crisp is the all-wool, yard-wide democrat, and with but one exception— Judge Turner—the whole delegation from Georgia is with him. Codlin, not Short, is Little Democracy’s friend. The State Bank Issue. Then again, it is not a matter of cer- tainty at this time what course the sound money democrats are going to take. It may be that during the session they may forfeit, in republican opinion, the right to be considered real sound money men. The because silver. But if for state bank cur- term will be withdrawn from Speaker Reed, like Mr. Sherman, see precious little difference between man who wants to retire the green- in the Interests of state bank notes 1e man who wants to open the mints > to silver bullion. Until this point is led, therefa democrats of both the Crisp and the Catchings schools will be on term Is bestowed upon them now of thelr opposition to free they are coming out rency them. can the the tm much the same plane with republicans of the Reed school. F , of course, that | the Crisp democrats are thought to out- number the others ten to one. Not Much Show Anyway. So, upon thes ral scor it is held, fs entitled to receive and w ceive the recognition of the minority leader- ship. The duties will not be arduous. The democrats, all told, do not number one-third of the House. They will be able to get the yeas and nays and now and then some sym- If th on, and the y do fall few men ome out to pathy, but not mu out over the silver ¢ of the Catchi for genuine sound mone co-operate with the r fcre come under r There will be no such thing as -1 sound money hip in the House. ‘D LEAGUE.

Pickard of Portland, Me., niece of the Poet Whittier, who owns the homestead there, the writer states that the house would not be sold unless the town or some reliable association should be the pure: r.

It asked for an increase in the ald extended to Wayland Seminary, the college for colored Baptists in the Dis- trict, and commended the work of that in- stitution. It recommended the formation of committees on education in all Baptist churches. It also referred to the condition and needs of the Columbian University. Its rapid growth and development in the past few years were commented upon, and the report closed in an earnest appeal for further aid and support for Q(®lumbian, which was called the university of the asso- elation. Dr. B. L. Whitman, the president of Co- lumbian, was then introduced, an outlined the most important motives for collegiate education, the incentive for sound denomi- national life, the effect, both physical and mental, on the individual and the need of educated young men for the clergy. Dr. G. M. P. King of Wayland Seminary spoke of the work of the church among the young people of the colored churches. He asked for a consideration of the work of the seminary and the preparatory department, when the members of the association thought of offering assistance to its edu- cational institutions. Sanday School Work. The work last night related to the Sunday schools. The praise service was led by Mr. S. B. Many, during which many prayers by young and old were offered and hymns of praise sung by the congregation. Rev. S. H. Greene, the chairman on this work, being absent, Rev. R. R. West pre- sided. The report of the committee on Sun- day schools was read by Mr. Charles Lynch. In this report five principal points were touched upon which would ald in the forma- tion of Sunday schools: First, good organiza- tion, which, as a foundation, every society must have; second, teachers’ meetings, which aid in making them interested in their work; third, a home department, which will better prepare the children for their work in the Sunday school: fourth, a parish regis- ter, which will enable the pastor to know those in his flock who do attend Sunday school and those who do not but ought to, and fifth, the teachers’ sincerity in their work, which will make the pupils more in- terested and more eager to learn. The re- port was most encouraging and satisfactory and showed that connected with the Sun- day schools were 148 officers, 404 teachers, 5,192 pupils and collections amounting to $6,481.15. Reports were read by J. O. C. Roberts on the “Organization” of Sunday schools, by Rev. A. F. Anderson on the “Home Department” and by Mr.W. C. Need- ham on the ‘Teachers’ incentive in their work.” The reports were intensely interest- ing and showed plainly that there must be the co-operation of ail irf this matter. It was also stated that, as the children of to- day are to be the leaders in the future, par- ticular and special care should be taken that they be set on the right path, that their lives may be molded in the way of virtue. Short talks were also made by Revs. C. C. Meador, C. A. Stakely, Theron Outwater, Mr. S. Richards, A. L. Swartwout and P. H. Bristow. = “ Paxson, R. an Delegates Present.

The republicans on Meridian Hill held quite a spirited meeting last night at Abraham's Hall, on 1th street extended, in which part of the proceedings of last week’s meeting were expunged from the records and the resignation of the president of the club was demanded. The troubles came about over the fact that at last week's meeting the club in- dorsed as their choice as delegates to the national convention Col. M. M. Parker and Dr. C. B. Purvis. This action was not sat- isfactory to some of the members of the ub, and it is claimed by C. A. Berkley, one of the members of the club, that the meeting was packed in the interest of the candidates indorsed. Mr. Berkley and his followers determined to repudiate the former meeting and did so last night, according to their statements, not only not approving the minutes, but by demanding that the resignation of Mr. T. W. Ray be handed in at the meeting of next week. There was no other business transacted ldst night except this, and an adjournment was soon had. = Real Estate at Auction.

Pettingill, the wild man of the Wiz river mountains of Montana, has been found dead in his mountain retreat. Pettingill went to Montana during the early period of the war and had ever since lived alone among the wild animals of the Wiz river mountains. Nothing has ever been learned regarding his life before coming to Montana, though sev- eral stories are told concerning his reasons for retiring from civilization. Pettingill had knowledge of a fabulously rich gold vein, but never disclosed its location, though hi gave to a party of hunters some quartz thi assayed $50,000 a ton.
