HRPEAlrltATl \ The Indications nro that there will bo a clenr majority In the next house of representatives In favor of tlio uncondi tional repeal of the silror purchase law , This Is the showing made by the canvass of the Now York papers. There may bo changes between now and the mooting of congress in September , but the chances are that they will be favorable to the advocates of repeal. It Is obvious that the sentiment for repeal has boon gaining ground , not from any influence exerted by the administration , but as an effect ot the financial situation. Every body concedes that something must bo done and as the abandonment of the pur- clmso of silver by tlio government Is the expedient which the greatest number regard aa essential many have concluded to accept It who n short thno ago were opposed to repeal. There Is less certainty about a majority in the senate favoring the abandonment of the silver purchase act , but It Is thought that a decisive vote in the house against the law will bring the senate to terms. Assuming , therefore , as the present indications appear to warrant , that the silver purchase act will bo repealed , What can bo done to supply the place of currency the issue of which would thus bo stopped ? Accord ing to excellent authority two proposi tions are receiving consideration in administration circles. Ono of these is to allow the national banks to Issue notes up to the par value of the bonds depos ited to secure them , Instead of 90 per cent of such value as at present. The other is to repeal the tax on state bank notes , so as to restore to banks author ized by state laws the urivilego of issu ing currency. AH to the flrst of these propositions there can bo no sound ob jection , but its adoption would go but a very small way toward making up for the loss of currency supply incident to the stoppage of silver pur chases. The annual addition to the circulation from this source amounts to about $00,000,000 , whereas the- national banks in being al lowed to add 10 per cunt ta the amount of their notes would increase the circu lation only about § 13,000,000. As to the other , which is undorstoad to bo in favor with the administration , it is an altern ative which would simply substitute one peril for another and the last would bo moro dangerous than the first. Opening the doors to an unlimited issue of state bank currency would not , it ia true , in volve any danger to the treasury gold , which is the trouble now at the bottom of the unfavorable finan cial conditions , but it would cer tainly bo productive of other evils quite as serious. It need hardly bo said that neither of these alternatives will placate or satisfy the silver men. The cuuso of free silver coinage , however - ever , is clearly hopeless. It looks as if the administration will endeavor to compromise by giving its intluonco in favor of removing the tax on state bank issues , but it is very ques tionable whether a measure for this purpose can bo passed in either branch of congress. It will not bo supported by republicans and there nro enough dem ocrats opposed to it to defeat it in union with the republicans. nun AMlIASSAOOli IN HXOLAXD. The American ambassador to England lion. Thomas P. Bayard , ought to find opportunity in this position to add to his fame as a public man. lie has had a dis tinguir.hed career , and ono that pecu Ijarly fitted him for diplomatic duties In th'o senate of the United States lit was for years a member of the commit tee on foreign relations , and as secretary of state in the first administration o President Cleveland , Mr. Bayard wai enabled to acquire a thorough knowl edge not only of our international relations tions but also of diplomatic practice Opinions differ as to his success ii the controversies ho conducted and particularly regarding his management agomont of the Boring sea dispute There are many who think tha ho did not show remarkable diplomat ! ability or tact , and was rather at a dig advantage in the contention with th British foreign ofllco. But Mr. Bayan is admittedly an able man and shou ! make a creditable record as the reprc soutatlvo of the United States at th court of St. James's. Ho seems , however , to have alrcad , made ono mistake that may operate t mar his record unless ho shall corrcc it , which there may still bo opportunit to do. It will bo remembered that who Mr. Bayard arrived at Southampton h was received by the authorities of tht city with a great deal of ceremony , i r acknowledging which ho said aomo voi commendable things. Ho expressed tli hope that ho would bo enabled to male his olllco the means of removing ur. lingering suspicion or doubt or mlsun dot-standing between the two grot branches of the English-speaking nusi Ho said ho would make- an ugonoy t render strife impossible , an agency 1 promote mutual welfare by the bonel cence of commerce , This was well , at : reflected the sentiment of a largo in jority of the American people. . Tl ambassador wont on to London , arrivir there without any domonatrutio Shortly afterward It was anuounei that Mr. Bayard had accepted an invit tlan to dine with the CobJon club , tl w well known free trade organization , a was the llrst movement in the Brl iy ish capital to honor the Amoric : iyX ambassador and ho appears to ha' XX in with it without X- fallen the lea XIII reflection. This waa a mlstaki 10 duo , It may be , to ignorance of the prc otis ont standing of the club , for it soot that it has long since fallen into disr is- puto and derision , According to trus worthy report its moro eminent mei bora have loft the club alono. Its i lluenco has declined and the dogma 3d represents Is In decay. Perhaps if M ta Bayard had known these things 1 or would have declined the invitation dine as promptly us ho accepted it , b la- ho did not wait to Inquire. What 1 3t , undoubtedly did know , however , w .t- that the Cobdcn club has always be in- hostile- America and the Amoriu inar policy , and this should Imvo boon sn he clout , regardless of the present stand ! iha of that organization , to have led him > a decline its protTored entertainment the inception of his diploma duties. It Is pertinently nskotl , why should an American ambassador lend his name and Influence to nn nntl American association ? There can bo no excuse or justification for his doing so. Mr. Bayard is unquestionably In sym pathy with the economic principles wliii-h the Cobden club represents , but ho wus not sent to England to discuss economic questions , or to olthar depre ciate the cause of protection or pro mote that of free trade. Ills mission is purely and solely diplomatic. A man of Mr. Bayard's lotrg experience In public life ought to have promptly perceived the Impropriety of allowing himself , as , an ambassador representing all the people of the United States , ta bo Identified in any respect with such an association as the extreme free trade Cobden club. It Is not merely a rollection on his judg ment. It shows all too plainly his will ingness to become under any circum stance * an Instrument to aid in striking down the American policy of protection. Aff TMrottTAXT ANfiOUXOBMKNr. THE BKE presents to the country the first authentic declaration on the part of Mgr. Satolll , the accredited repre sentative ot Pope Lee XIII. . on tho. re lations of the Catholic , church to publics schools and parochial schools , as enunci ated in the forthcoming encyclical from the Roman pontiff. While the state ment made by Mgr. Satolll Is neces sarily brief it embodies the vital points in which the American people , and especially members of thd Catholic church , are concerned. Incidentally wo are also able in this connection to present what may bo considered a somi- olllcial vindication of Archbishop Ire land's views as to the attitude which American citizens of the Roman Catholic church maintain toward the American school system. It will bo highly grati fying to 'the friends of education that the ban against the public schools has been revoked and a liberal policy is about to bo enunciated that will tend to largely reconcile the elements of our population which have believed that Catholics as a body have been uncom promisingly arrayed against our public school system. hlXZIR UOHDKN ACQUITTED. Few criminal trials in this country have commanded a greater measure of public interest than that of Lizzie Borden at Fall River , Mass. , charged with having murdered her father and stepmother. There was nn ex traordinary mystery surrounding the double tragedy , and it Is not improbable that it may remain a mystery fororer. The murders took plaoo in the forenoon , and probably within ono or two hours of each other. Lizzie BDrdon and the sarvant girl were at homo , and during nearly all of the forenoon were In the house , each performing certain duties. While they were thus moving about the promises the murders were committed * ' mitted . As sojn as' discovered , which wa- * but a very short time after Mr. Borden don was killed , his wife having been murdered first , an alarm was given and the police called in. They made a most thorough search of the promises and found nothing to seriously implicate its occupants , nor were there any traces" ol an escaped murderer. 'It was a most perplexing and battling case , but it was necessary for the police to do something and they managed to got togothoi enough circumstantial evidence ol a very weak kind to warrant the arrest of Liz/io Borden She was known to bo on noi very friendly terms with her stopmothoi and there was some family disagreement as to the disposal of property , circum stances which gave color to thosuspicior that Mis Lizzie was the guilty party. Without going into details , which an familiar to everybody who has taken ar interest in this remarkable case , It ia tc bo remarked that the trial was mos carefully conducted before a bench o three able judges and an ascoptionalli intelligent jury. The prosecution wai given every latitude consistent with t just regard for the rights of the accused and so anxious wus it to convict that i made nt least ono attempt to ovorridi these rights. The evidence was widely and extensively published , and has booi road by millions of people , very few o whom , wo have no doubt , will fall to np prove the verdict of the jury. Thor can bo no question that the prosocutioi utterly failed to make a case sullloioiv to warrant a reasonable doubt as to tin innocence of the accused , and her re lease from the long and terrible ordeu to which she has boon subjected will b universally gratifying. TJIH HUMK llVhK STltUOaLE , The Irish members of Parliament ar reported as growing restive under th slow progress of the homo rule bill , din to persistent tory obstruction , and voxo at Mr. Gladstone's occasional yielding t i. tory demands in tlio form of tun end o mcnts. "If ho wishes to count on o votes , " Mr. Sexton said recently , "h must give us somnthing to vote foi If tory ideas are permitted to govori homo-rule iu Ireland will bo a mocker , o and a fraud. Grattan'a Parliament wa at least representative. " i. Mr. Sexton , bo it remembered , roprc d Bouts the bontimonts of the loss oxtrom tor antl-Parnollito section of the Irib o party , The moro advanced , or Parnol ! [ t ito element , both in and out of Parllt tinont , looking at the Gladstone measur , n as a sort of half loaf which is hotter tha o no broad , is at the present stag it of the game keeping its opinion can i , fully suppressed. It is only in th : s- country that it receives any public o > is pression , and that but rarely ; for eve 0at this distance the wonderful dlsciplin twhich the Irish people have attained 1 11- in relation to the homo rule question : 1also manifested in the prolonged bus it with which they watch the parlii r , mentary battle and await its decibio o They have boon taught to buliovo , ar to not withoitt good reason , that nothiii at that the noncombatants can do now ei 10 atfcct the outcome of the purliamontai us struggle , while talk might only tend 3n hurt the prospects of the bill. in But that the Irish people , noverth Hless , are losing patience at the snail-Ill ig movement of the homo rule bill towa to a vote Is a conclusion which may at taken for a fuct. The sllonco of the tic representatives In Parliament under t taunts and misrepresentations of tholr enemies on the ft > or has boon simply marvellous. Tl 4 * hold tholr tongues In order not to diiy [ the progress of a measure so dear to tltolr heart. But It Is a still severerrtrial of temper and patience - tionco to sco thai hill , notwithstanding , make hardly anyilporcoptlblo advance. Says Mr. SoxUitl : "Tho constituency which I roprcsonbijliko the rest of Ire land , demands expedition. At the pres ent rate the bill-will not pass the Com mons this sessional And yet , nfton.uU . this Inch-by-lnch contesting nnd violence of temper nnd waste of time with which the introduc tion of the homo rule bill has been thus far attended , it is but natural to contrast Mr. Pat-noil's demands with the pro visions of this measure. The Gladstone bill is a very emasculated product com pared with the scheme of Irish snlf-gov- ornmont which Mr. Parnoll had In mind , and for which the Irish pj--jlo have stood like a rock since they recovered their mental balance after the shock of the corruptly-made legisla tive union. Mr. Parnoll , nt the time of his last visit to this country , declared -that any homo rule measure which did not give Ireland the power to regulate her commerce by tariff would bo of no practical benefit to her. Mr. Parnoll a few years previously had made this domaad In his famous speech at Woxford. Grattan's Parliament , which was annihilated by the act of union In the year 1800 , possessed this taritT power. If It had not it might not have been overthrown , for without It Ireland could not have como into indus trial rivalry with England. The Glad stone bill is vorx careful to expressly leave out this power. Parnoll saw that the one thing which Ireland needed above all else was the encouragement nnd upbuilding of manu factures , to tlio end that her population , as was the case during the prosperous eighteen years of Grattan's Parliament , might have some employment furnished it besides what was afforded by agricul ture. Then the Irish land question , like the American land question or the Eng lish land question , would regulate itself. The two parties to the present strug gle in Parliament know well what they are about , and each infers the motives of the other. That is what makes the struggle so fierce and so intense. The Irish are contending for the passage of Mr. Gladstone's bill as not final , by any moans , but merelyrius a stop in the di rection of the national aspiration. The torics and their ajiies , the liberal union ists , the latter socially representing the English uwliufacluring inter est , are not opposing the present harmless little Bill for its own sake , but , as Joseph Chamjjorlain incidentally lot drop the ether ! day , on account of their belief that the imperial tariff power would bo b'ndangored by its * passage. The lattercan see that when the provisions of thiVbilL como to bo put into operation they , would not long stand comparison with "the powers exorcised by the last Irish Parliament , and would only lead to new demands , which would then b'o mil tho-moro-dimcult-to resist. The same fact serves'as the basis for the hopes of the Irish and the fears of the unionists ; namely , that they each look upon the Gladstone bill as an entoring- wedgo. _ _ _ _ _ THE pineries of Arkansas nnd Texas are producing moro lumber than over. Considerable activity is also reported in the timber sections of south Missouri , Louisiana , Mississippi and Florida. From the amount of saw mill machinery ordered it is argued that the output in the entire southwest this year will sur pass that of any preceding. This com petition with the enormous production now accumulating in the northwest should keep lumber down to a reason able price , notwithstanding the con stantly increasing demand. And il would , with reasonable freight rates and the determination of lumbermen tc deal fairly by the public and keep w ih- out the combine , to put an artificial price on the commodity. As it is , we suppose the people must bear the pen alty of dalliance with railroad combine ! and trust monopolies. For instance , the shingle manufacturers of Washingtor and Oregon are now organizing a manu fncturors association for the "bettor mont of prli'es. " It Is likely that , fol lowing the example sot them by the coal combination in the east , they wll ! shut down for a time in order to lessei the product on bund , nnd to stimulate the demand nt such prices as they determine to place on their product.

The most encouraging feature ot the finan cial situation is the fast-growing body of evi dence that the silver craze has run its course , and that the popular demand for the repeal ot the Sherman law Is rapidly becom ing Irresistible.

It Is prottv generally admitted that the president's determination to call congress to gether and the belief In Europe that he will succeed In getting the Sherman act repealed have helped our credit abroad. But why ? All that Europe believes is that Mr. Cleveland - land can secure the repeal ot the present silver vor law ; it knew that ho could prevent the enactment of a worao measure. Uut'if the proposal to repeal the silver law has had such good results , is it not evident that the existence of this law has boon the cause of our business troubles ! TITO UnnnllBlilnnuil Statos.

Marshal MacMahon , formerly president of the French republic , ami ono of the two sur viving marshals of Franco , completes his eighty-fifth year on July 15 , und ho pro poses to slgnalbo the occasion by complet ing also , his memoirs , upon which ho is no- lively engaged.

Washmcton correspondent relates that Secretary Carlisle recently called for tlio resignation of "Colonel Dan" Grosvenor of Ohio , brother ot the congressman from Athens in that state. The reason given for the removal of Mr. Grosvonor , who was n chief of division in tlio Treasury department. was that Mr. Carlisle desired to fill the vacancy with as good a democrat as Mr. Grosvenor was a republican. To this "Coloni-1 Dan" responded that such an indi vidual would bo "d - d hard to find. " The man has been found , however , and his ap pointment develops an interesting coinci dence. The now man's name Is Combs. Now , the name of the man who Grosvonor suc ceeded when ho wus appointed was Mungum. In ISO ; ! Mnugum was a member ot Forrest's Confederate cavalry. In scouting near Homo , Gv. , ho ran Into and captured a Federal command. In It was Grosvenor , who was exchanged In a few days. In May of the same year in doing some scouting on his own account Grosvenor cap tured a Confederate : command in which waa Combs. Thus Maugum captured Grosvouor , and Grosvenor captured Mangum's office. Then Grosveuor captured Combs , and Combs captured Grosvenor'a office , nna tt is ad mitted by all that turn about Is fair play. BACKED DOWN AGAIN. & Sons of Clnvoluntl Ita'uso Omnlni's Grading lloiitlsi. N. W. Hayes & Son , the bond brokers ol Cleveland , O. , have refused to take thu bonds the firm recently contracted for with City Treasurer Bolln. The treasurer pro nounces the objections nnd claims of the firm as simply a clover bit of diplomacy to escape fulfillincr the terms of the contract entered Into with the city. The bonds purchased were short time grading bonds of the city in the amount ol $77,000 , bearing 5 per cent interest. When tlio bids for them were opened Hayes & Son were found to have submitted the best propo sition , and they secured the bonds. The bid read that thu bonds would bo taken at par , with a premium of Sl,7ll ! nnd accrued in- terest. Tlio contract was entered intc and n certified check for $5,001 was deposited as an evidence of good faith One-third of the bonds wore to have boor delivered the 1st of July , nnd the other two thirds ou the 1st of August and Scptemboi respectively. As the tiino Is rapidly draw ing near for the first delivery , und as tht money market is depressed , Hayes & Ser make what Mr. Bolln considers a very llimsj claim. The firm now contends that the nc crucd Interest does not go to the citv , but tc itself. The treasurer has understood al along that tha accrued Interest , which wil amount to about STOO. Is saved to the city and docs not go to the firm. Ho so construe- the bid , as does City Attorney Connell. Nc question is raised as to irregularity in Issu ing the bonds , and the firm seems satisfied that everything is straight nnd legal. Treasurer Bollu has corresponded wltl 11 the firm , nnd the refusal to permit the ln < to rest to bo saved to the ellv ha § not been overcome. After ft consultation with thn city attorney the conclusion wm reached that the boat thlna to bo done WAS to Uko stops to recover the amount ot the certified check , and ndvertUo the Imnds for Bate. Mr Bolln considers It n wnsto of time to correspond further with the firm , nnd na the money will bo required In n short time thn bonds must bo sold soon. Ho has forwarded the fr\UOO check to Cleveland for collection , nnd In doing so ho say * that hondpurchnscrs must understand that when they bargain for Omaha securities the terms of the eon > trnct must bo lived up to in every par tlculnr.
