INTERNATIONAL FREE COINAGE Suppose England and Germany Should Decline the Invitation. A DIFFICULT BUSINESS Politicians with a knack for turning phrases are trying thelr hands on a finan- cial plank for the St. Louls platform. It is difficult business, as fhe samples so far turned out testify. Some of these have been passed around in confidence, and have occasioned interesting discussion. An International Agreement. A very great difficulty is encountered in dealing with the question of an interna- tional agreement as to free coinage. How shall that be expressed? It seems to be agreed that the old form will not do. The silver men denounce that as a promise un- fulfilled. They charge that had the pres- tige of the government been properly em- ployed in silver's interest, an international agreement would some time since have been obtained. it will not be sufficient, therefore, simply to declare that the party is in favor of free Goinage if it can be in- augurated through the medium of an in- ternational agreement. How Much Further? But how much further can the party af- ford to go? Shall a definite program be mapped out? Shall it be stated that the party, if successful at the polls, will im- mediately upon coming into power call aa international conference on the subject of silver? And shall it be proposed to hold the conference in this country? In Wash- ington, here? And shall the candidate for President pledge himself in his letter of acceptance to do all in his power to bring the other nations with which this nation trades to a realization of the strength of the silver sentiment in this country? Complaints of the Silver Men. ‘There seems to be a disposition to mect the wishes of the silver men in part. Nobody outside of the distinct silver coterie preposes free coinage pure wnd simple, but some of the complaints of the silver men are very sympathetically considered. For one thing, the silyer men complain that Europe is not a latitude in which silver can hope for justice. Europe, as they assert, is under the dominion of the Rothschilds, all of whose interests are bound up in gold. Past international con- terences, therefore, held over there, have simply fallen, as might have been ex- pected, under the dominion of the gold kings, and did not, and could not,* come to anything. E Without subscribing to this opinion, some of the conservative republicans weuld be willing to aid in the calling of an interna- tional conference to be held on this side ot the water, simply that the question of lecal influence might thoroughiy be tested. They want the question properly tested. They want silver to have a fair chance, and they want the silver men to be ad- vised of the whole procedure, from first fto last. Suppose the Invitation in Declined. But now comes up the question of the acceptance of invitations to such a confer- Suppose England and Germany and France should politely decline to attend. Suppose they should give as a reason the fact that gold serves their present purposes very well, and they have no desire to change their standard. What would an international conference be without them? What would an agreement amount to which did not bind them? Then this country would find itself face to face with the proposition either to go It alone in the mat- ter of the free coinage of silver, or e! declare unequivocally for the gold ard. A Knotty Problem. The whole thing is a very knotty problem. A great deal 1s thought to hang on tke condition of an international agreement. Nearly every state platform contains it, but none enters into specifications. Those seem to be left to the St. Louis conveniion, and the hard thinking being bestowed on the subject shows both its importance and its great difficulty. — Hotel Arrival Raleigh—T. W.

Danial Johnson and Jesse Beverly, col- ored boys under ten years old, were prison- ers in the Police Court ‘this morning, charged with larceny. The boys had vis- ited the store of Hugh Edwards, on Flor- ida avenue, Saturday night and had suc- ceeded in getting some pieces of cheese and packages of cocoa. They stole the articles by reaching through the bars with a long piece of wire. The parents of one of the youthful priscners were in court, while the grandfather of the other boy was present to look after his interests. “I'm ured of whipping my boy,” said the mother. “I've whipped him a number of times with a strap, but it don’t seem to do any good."" “And judge,” said the cther boy’s grand- father, “I charged the boy that if he ever got anything he must not bring it hom “Where do you live?” the old man was asked. ‘On Grant avenue.”” es," added the mother, “and I'm going to get away from there and go amongst quality people.” The boys were fined $3 or five days in j: Beecham’s Pills for con= stipation, roc. and 25¢ Get the book at your drug- gist’s and go by it.

Pennsylvania Massachascits and jd Until Turn- Delegations to Be H ed Over to Cleveland, The proceedings of the recent democratic conventions in M achusetts and Rhode Island are disquieting to those men who oppose the suggestion of a third term’ for Mr. Cleveland. They cannot accept Mr. Russell’s presidential candidacy seriously. They concede that he fs a young man of good ts, personally popular, and with some gift of speech. But, despite his three terms as governor of Ms ¢ ‘tts, they regard him as only a bright young man without experience in large affairs. And the next President of the United States will be called on to deal a a most complicated and trying situation. Would a man of Mr. Russell's caliber prove equal to it? Many prominent democrats think not. They fear, therefore, that this so-called Russeil boom is merely part of a prozram io hold certai delegations in line at Chicago unui such a time as they can be utilized for a se purpose. These men insist tha: Mr ve- land would be offended if it were actually proposed to make Mr. Itussell his succe in the White House. He nas a large appreciation, and, considering nuns be both a great captain and a veteran, he would resent the proposition that he turn over the command of the democratic tor to a mere cornet, fresh from the hands of the drillmaster. But to hoid a fort until Mr. Cleveland can get the! Mr. Russell will do as weil as anocher. Similar Feeling as to Pattison. where is a similiar feeling, too, with re- gard to the candidacy of Mr. Pattison of Pennsylvania. He is personally a popular and most excellent man, but not regarded, as the lines are at present drawn, as a presidential quantity. He has had no ex- perlence in the conduct of national affairs, and, besides, comes from a state where the republicans, when they happen to be feel- ing good, can roll up a majority of a quar- ter of a million votes. But Mr. Pattison is a warm friend of the President, and, in co- operation with Mr. Harrity, can hold Penn- sylvania at Chicago subject to Mr. Cleve- land's orders. The Cleveland Men’s Program. Here then, it is feared, is a disclosure of, the program of those who are anxious to again bring Mr. Cleveland forward. The south, of course, cannot be asked to par- ticipate. She is for free silver, and against Mr. Cleveland. At farthest, she would sup- port some man like “Colonel Morrison as a compromise candidate. But against the south the Cleveland democrats are pre- paring to array the east and a portion of the northwest, and in: order to make the play effective they muét get control of the delegations from those sections. Mr. Rus- sell is to be the rallying cry in the extreme east, Mr. Pattison in the middie states and Mr. Carlisle here and there, wherever ap- preciation of him is high. And then, as the program is further explained, when the tug of war comes, when it is demonstrated that neither Mr. Russell, Mr. Pattison, nor Mr. Carlisle can command more than a local following; when the demand is heard above all other demands for a man strong enough to poll the Russell, the Pattison, the Carlisle and cther votes, the name of Mr. Cleveland is to be presented to carry every- thing before it. What Some Democrats Believe. There are some very prominent democrats who do not believe that for a third term Mr. Cleveland could carry a single state in the Union. He could not, in the opinion of Senator Jones, carry a single county in Arkansas, and Texas, it is said, would throw an overwhelming vote against him. If democratic strongholds like these would fail him, the anti-Cleveland men inquire, from what quarter would his support at the polls come? From states like Massachu- setts and Pennsylvania, which had assisted in his nomination? + 2 -______ Made Captain of the Watch. Stephen K.

No Acceptable Program Yet Arranged —Importance of the Result to the 4 dminixtration, The choice of Lexington irstead of Loui ville as the place of meeting for the Ken- tucky dem tion is regard as showing that the spirit of compromise abroad in the blue grass state. The Ca Lsle men wanted Louisville, for the inf ence of the powerful Lusiness interests there, and had they been altogether sure of their game would, it is thought, have forced the fighting and demanded Louls- Ville. Lexington is a city of good sige, and very rich, but a strong silver sentiment exists there, and this mvst be reckoned with. Moreover, Mr. Blackburn lives in the near-by town of Versailles, and his friends and neighbors may be expected to turn out in force ard give him a hearty support on convention day. is No Acceptable Progtam, The compromise talk has so far developed no program acceptable to either side. It was propesed a few days ago to refer the whole money question to the Chicago con- vention and simply instruct the delegates to present Mr. Cart name for Presi- dent. But tnis was promptly rejected by Carlisle M. himself, who de nal compliment of the policy for which he He in: ined to re- t the expense contending. ts that the convention must meet the Issue end decide it without regard to the effect on his own fortune On the other hand, the silver men insist that if Mr. Carlisle is indorsed for President, Mr. Blackburn must be for Senator, and this gore the 2xtreme difficulty of the job on and, Importance to the Administration, The Kentucky convention, therefore, has become of the highest importance to the administration. June 3 is the meeting day, and between now and then both factions gre certain to work with might and main. The administration has lost Alabama, and may lose Georgia, without serious injury to S prestige. Neither Mr. Herbert nor Mr. Smith counts in the financial tation as Mr. Carlisle docs. ‘The administration, it is pointed out, is directly on trial through its financial oiticer, and if he should lose his own state, where heretofore he has been supreme, and where until last November his party had been supreme for thirty un- broken years, the effect would be felt throughout the Union. Result Must Be Decisive. Nor, it is asserted, would what in Ken- tucky js called “a dog fall’ be without heavy loss to the administration. One fac- tion or the other when the fall comes mus be decidedly on top, or the wrestle will iook I'ke a put-up affair. To indorse Mr. Carlisle for Presideat on a hedging and inconclu- sive platform would be quite as unsatisfac- tery to the public as.to indorse Mr. Black- turn for Senator after adopting a sound money platform. = oe = Castoria For - Infants and Children.

THEIR REPLY 0 CARTERS SPEECH The Tariff, Not the Money Ques- tion, the Cause of Stringency. FAITH IN THE PARTY Senator Carter, in his speech justifying his vote against taking up the emergency tariff bill, taunted the eastern leadership of bis party with having been outwitted by Mr. Cleveland at the special session of the Fifty-third Congress. In Mr. Carter's opin- icn, the republicans should not have per- mitted Mr. Cleveland to shift the issue at that time from tariff to finance. The de- mocracy had come into power pledged to an extreme cut in all tariff duties, and, as Mr. Carter argued, it was that that had caused the extraordinary business depr sion the country was then experiencing. The P dent saw this, and in crder to relieve his party as much as pcssible, he raised a cry against stlver. He insisted that silver was the cause of all the trouble, and he made it tke issue in his special message at the special session. The republicans fell in behind him, and the sound-money men of both parties, acting together, carried out the President's program, a Wilson Tariff Bill. Then the regular session came on, and Congress tackled the tariff question. But not lo carry out the Chicago platform. It vas never on the cards to do that. But what, in other circumstances, would have been a most inglorious backdown on the part of the democratic leaders, escaped at- tention for awhile behind the stir that had been raized on the money question. It was not until the tariff bill was completed that its deficienc cod so plainly revealed that Mr. Cleveland himself denounced it and refused to sign it. Why Shift the Insue Now? Some of the more conseryative republi- can leaders, who do not favor the free coin- age of silver, and yet would not commit the country unalterably to the gold stand- ard, are applying Mr. Carter's arguments to the present situation. Why shift the issue now, or permit it shifted, from tariff n the been tim to tinance? There is a new tariff issue, they insist. The is: of 1892-3 was that of a ff threat. The issue of tod is that of ariff bill, uneven and unwise in all of its r i unequal to the support of ment. Is aot the Wilson Lill, men inquire, more to blame for the ng hard times than anyching else? rigated antil that act has nd a wiser law put in its something for silver, yes; but silver the only issue.’ Why pre- would effect ertain can ‘lishment of ion?

There is great faith in conservative re- Publican circles in the ability of the party to su sfully avoid both extremes at St. Loui Men of this view point to the fact that the party's credit before the country is and has always been of the highest. It is, they claim, the creator and has been the is of the sound money of the is not, therefore, called upon to make zny resounding professions of any kind. ‘The business men know the party and trust it, and so far as the silver men are cor: cerned they are bound to admit that every- thing that has been dene for the white metal in twenty-five years stands to the credit of the republican party. A Policy for Every Candidate. It is in this strain that conservative ac- tion at St. Louis is being urged. It is not a po! pointed out for any particular can- didate, but one which any man whose name has been suggested for the presidential can- didate can afford to accept, and, if elected, to help write into law and carry out. $$, The Massachusetts at Boston.
