With regard to the outrages in Al

It appears that there are members of
both liouses of congress who are dis
posed tourgoa movement on the part of
the govcinmeiit of 'the United States for
an intcriiatio'ial rongiossin the interest
of silver. They think the action taken
by this couiitiy for rcnionotizlnjj sihor
makes this an oppoituno time for an
other effort to induce European coun
tries to cuter into an agreement tint
will bring thoiu into line with the
United Slates in Iho matter. It Is sug-
ge teil that as a ] > relirainnry to
this llio president should send
abroad , asnis \ done fcovcr.xl years
ago , a competent person to represent the
American ca.u and a ceitnln the bcntl-
iiiont of i'.uropean governments regard-
liifr silver. The president liny appoint
such an agent without spcclUc autliotity
or direction from congress , but it Is not
Known whether ho favois tlio piopo al
or is averse to it ,
Perhaps the results of past ollorts of
the United States In this dlicction are
not to bo regarded as conclusive ofhat
would happen to another effort made
now , because the conditions have
ehangt'd , but It may bo veil
to refer to the attltudo of
luiopoan governments down to 1885 in
order to judge whether tlioro is any
probability of the proposed movement
for an international conference regardIng -
Ing bll\or accomplishing anything. It
was at the instance of the United States
that Intcrnutlonal monetary conferences
wore held in 1S73 and 1SS1 , the object
bediuj the opening of the mints of this
country imd of the loading European
nations to the fieo coinage of both gold
and silver Into unlimited legal tender
money nt u ratio fixed by In-
tornatloiial tigtoeinot. At tlio first
of thcso coaferoucea a majority of
tlioconforcps , under the Iniluonco of the
British doleg-aten , declared that sliver ,
llko jjold , mint bo kept a monetary
metal , but each state , orgro'ip ' of stales ,
mmt act for Itaelf in the choice and the
minting. An international ratio was
pronounced inidobitablo , and a fhod
ratio wan declared to ho utterly Imprac-
ticible , The object in calling the con
ference was thus frustrated. Subse
quently the writings of Cernuichi ap
peared nnd exerted a great Influence In
ro\olutlonl/lng \ the opinion of leading
mm in Kuropo. Fr.inco joined the
United States in culling the conference -
ferenco held at Paris in 1SS1. Tn
this conference tlio delegates of
Glent Britain declared that the mono-
taiy system ol that country since 1810
Inning rested on the single standaid of
gold , -which lind satisfied all the nocda
of Hie country.witliout giving rise to the
dillicultloB manifest elsewhere under
other pyntcins , the government of Clreat
Billnin could not lake port in a conference
*
ence as supporting the pilnciplos pro
posed. Thogo\eriimentof \ Germany was
in sympathy with thatof Great Britain ,
and thus the object in calling the
conference was u nin frustrated. In
ISSl this government &ont a spe
cial PomniHslonor to Trance , Ger
many and Great Dritaln to learn
thu views of llio rcspecllvegovcmmonts ! .
IIo found no change in the positions as-
bcrlcdln 1S81. Tlic Ficrich government
was in tyinp.ithy vlth the object urged
by the United Stales , but the Biitish
government adhered firmly to Its long-
imintiincd mouctery policy , uliilo the
German government deemed the cooperation -
operation of Great Britain tin indispen-
bable prc-requlsito in any change.
Dining the pastlivo years public sen
timent in England and Geunany has un
questionably been growing in fa-\or of
the reinoneti/ation of sihor under an
international agreement such as the
United States have proposed. The re
port of tlio rojal commission appointed
by the Dntii.ligo\ornment in 18SO had
si\ory decided inilucnco favorable to sil
ver in England , \\hilo the nd\ocatcs of
bllvev rcmoncti/.atlon In Germany ha\o
g lined manj' adlierciits But there Is
rctiUy notmuiih icason to believe that
an'iiiternntional monetary conference at
this time would.have an essentially dif
ferent result from tlio two horolofoio

and the piiceof corn at the presentlimo ,
there will bo but llltlo of the crop
burned for fuel this jcur , yet the views
of the Philadelphia Lcdyci on the subject
of coin for fuel are worthy of thought ,
lhat paper says that over production In
an aitjelctliat grows up inafcw _ months
and that can bo used foi heating pur-
pos-osjii the steve will never ho a text

Umber is wanted for many olhei pur

Yet , of these .politieil Jeremiahs who

corn as fuel Icopt either musli or pone

would boocc.ision for lament. It costs
too much , when corn Is plenty , to convoy
his surplus ciop to a maiket ; so If ho
burns it to conk by and hives his trees
thereby and his coal money , how can

TUB final foothifi-s of tlio population of
Omaha and licinlty liavobeen completed
and forvurded to Washington. 'Ilio ic-
viscd schedules place the population
\\itliln \ the corporate limits of Oinnha atone
ono liuwlrcd and thirtynino thousand
two hundred and forty-five , an increase
of fi\o \ thousand , over the first ostimuto.
It is not piobablo that any mateiial
change \\ill bo nude in these figures , so
that Omaha will go on record as acitj of
practically one hundred and forty thou
sand people. And yet the total does not
icpiesent the actual population piopcily
belonging to the city.
"Within a radius of five miles of the
post'ofllco of Oinalii there are thico
thriving suburbs , noith , south and west
outbklo the eity limits. South Omaha
with eight thou-.incl , Dundee Plnco , ono
thousand , and rioronco 0110 thoubaiul ,
should pronorly bo c'rcdiled to Omaha.
On the east , Council llluffs , vlth its
twoiityeiglit thousand inhabitants , is
within the five-mile limit. If It v > ere
practicable to bring all the people

Twenty jcars ago tlioro was a scan

moil one. Coinmfi'cially and Indus
trially they are a unit. Judging of the
future by the past , Omaha and her sub

great inland centers of population on the
continent.

marlcablo that the Chinamen who
