THE DODGINQ POLICY.
The statement of Col. Springer
with regard to the course of the
democratic party on the silver
querftion may be considered author
itative. He occupies the position
f leader of the house, and is cer
taiuly familiar with the views and
purposes of those who have con
trol of the pnrty's interests. Per
sonally, he say, he would make it
"a great international question" and
settle it upon broad and definite
lines. Hut in matters of legislation
he hastens to add, experience has
taught him that the object most
desirable can not always be ac
complished, and it often
becomes necessary to take
what can be attained at the
time. In the present case, he goes
on to declare, there is really noth
ing attaiuuble, because it is im
possible for the two branches of
congress and the president to agree
upon a silver bill of any kind
Therefore, he thinks the subject
should be practically ignored dur
ing the present congress. He
holds, in other words, that his party
is exempted from the duty of as
sorting its opinions and trying to
carry them out by the fact that it
control only one house of congress.
The general theory is that a party
is bound to do its best under nil
circumstances, but Col. Springer
has discovered that responsibility
exists only where there are ample
facilities for accomplishing iinal
results.
This moans, manifestly, that the
democratic leaders propose to
dodge the silver issue and every
other troublesome question that
may arise. The house will not at
tempt any important legislation, if
they can prevent it They fancy
that it will be better to do nothing
than to make a mistake; aud their
excuse will be that it was useless to
try to beat a republican senate and
president. Accordiug to such logic,
party should not take part in an
election where it is certain to be de.
feated, but should Btand back and
decline to exercise its privileges.
That would strike the country as
being a very poor way to recom
mend the principles and objects
of a party to popular favor,
and the course suggested by
Col. Springer in the present in
stance must be similarly regarded
There is no reason why the house
Bhould refuse or neglect to take
action upon any subject simply be
cause its actioumay be antagonized
by another body. It in independ
ent in a sense, and does not have to
ask permission to do the work for
which it was elected. The responsi
bility can not be shifted by that
sort of strategy. It is expected
that the house will proceed with
out reference to anything but the
obligation to do all that lies in. its
power for the promotion of the gen
eral prosperity aud welfare. The
expedient of pleading that a repub
lican majority in the senate relieves
the house of the duty of positive
legislation upon difficulty ques
tions will not answer the purpose.
There are two Bides to all current
issues, and the democrats will have
to take one or the other. Globe

CHRONICAL.
One of the principal events of the
fornight has been Senator Hill's
ipeech at Albany, N. Y., wherein he
auauilestly took back water on the
ilver question. Mr. Hill savs iu
this latest utterance:
"At Kimira I euceeated this
course: Pass no free coinage bill;
Cass only needful appropriation
ills enforclug economy.
Demand the repeal of the
8hetninn silver law and the two
McKinley laws."
Thereupon Senator Stewart ao-
pears in a public letter addressed
to Senator Hill. From the latWo
Kimira speech, Mr. Stewart under
stood that he was iu favor of the
free bi-mctallic rninmrn i.
the preeent ratio, aud as the result
of the shifting around in the later
ipeech, the Nevada senator ex
presses the opinion that the New
Tork senator "has fallen into the
trap set by the gold trust."
Congress reassembled Tuesdav.
January 0. More bills relating to
uie silver question nave been intro
duced, among others, one bv Mr.
Andrew, dem., of Massachusetts, to
repeal the silver bullion act of the
fifty-first coucress. Ianuarvl7 th

senate listened to a speech on the
free-coinage matter by Senator
Morrill, of Vermont. Mr. Do1l.1i
had read an extract from a speech
of Mr. Stewart's, so the effect that
the purchase by the government of
fourfmd a half million ounces of
silver per month would use all the
silver produced , In the United
States, and would put up the price
of silverto par. Mr. Stewart ad
mitted! that his J prophency had
failed, but pleaded that the con-
ditions had changed and that it
had proved conclusively that
nothing would do but free coinage.
In an interview in the New York
lie raid, Senator Carlisle deprecates
the taking up of the silver question
at this time by his party. He
doubt very much whether the
democrats have anything to gain
from the silver states, which are
naturally republican, and will vote
the republican ticket in any event,
he says. Mr. Carlisle takes broad
ground in favor of an honest cur
rency.
Tire participation of women in
the world's fair promises to be one

opportunity of showing in most
signal manner the condition of
their sex throughout the world.
wnat are the achievements of
woman in the various branches of
human endeavor, and what is her
adaptability to different occuna

SENATOR CARLISLE'S VIEWS.
In an interview ij th Nv v,i.
- ' 4 vi a
Herald Senator John G. Carlisle
says: 'The tariff should, I think,
be made the principal issue, and if
the question of silver enters into
the campaign it should be hop-
oudary to the tariff. I don't think
the democratic r-artv should v
up the silver question for considera
tion at this time. It certainly
Bhould not put a nlank in it
national platform favoring free
coinage. I doubt very much
whether we have anything to gain
from the silver stateB. They are

can product of silver, as irnnrart
by some, would certainly be worse
ior me people generally in one re
spect, at least, than anv nl an vol
adopted, as that would devote all
ine uineience between the bullion
value and the coinage value of the
metal to the owners of mines and
speculators in miniiic stuck, in-
stead of to the government, making
uiem a present, in fact, from tLe
people of the United States r.f
great many million dollars every
year. From Feb. 28, 1878, the date of
the resumptiou of the coinage of
me silver dollar, to June 30 1801, this
difference amounted to
000,000, which has gone iuto the
treasury to tne credit of the tax
payers of the country. Of course,
if the government receives bullion
irom ine owner, coins it free of
charge and gives him back a
Mamped dollar ior every 371 grains
of pure silver, the bullion owner
will receivo-a very largo Rum over
and above the commercial value of
his product in the markets of the
world.
"I believe that every dollar in cir
culation among the masses of the
people should be as good a9 any
dollar that circulates in financial
circles or forms the basis of our
trade, domestic or international,
and it seems to me that we had
better let the matter stand as it is
now, for the present at least, and
see what the future may develop. I
think the principal commercial
nations of the world ought to' join
in a momentary conference and fix
an international ratio. If all the
commercial nations were to meet
and decide that any quantity of sil
ver should pass and be received as
money at a certain value it would,
of course, be good for that amount
in their trade.
"The capitalist can always take
care of his own interest when
changes occur or are about to occur,
in the relation values of the differ
ent kindsof currency in circulation,
because he can, in anticipation of
such changes, convert his money at
any time into the most vnluable
kind of currency and hoard it in
order to realize the premium, while
the laborers and, in fact, the people
generally have nothing to hoard,
and are compelled to receive from
day to day in payment for their
labor and its products juft such
money as the law makes legal
tender, whatever it may be,"

The Western league, with its ex

"How could you, mother?" I gasped. "I
have never thought of such a thingl You

"I did it for her good. I loved her very
dearly and could not bear to think of her

about an hour after she came to me and

would never forget the happy hours the

her arms and wept like a child. I urged
her to stay here until she coidd find an

and said she would find a home some

tears were streaming down her cheeks. I
could not blame her. But could I let my

"I mean what I say, my dear mother,

I called for my horse and rode to the rail
