It is not becor ng, sys the Philadel philadelpbi Rt rJ, in either of the great parties in .bs Ucited States, con sidering the way in which they have heietofore straddled the silver question, and considering the existent division in their ranks as to the proper solution of our financial difficulties, to throw stones. The Republican party, as the author of the baneful greenback legislation, as jointly responsible with the Democrats for the Bland-Allison Silver Coinage law, and as wholly responsible for the mischievous Sherman Silver Purchasing act, lives in an especially fragile gW feat M Kialey and dictate the n house.

The Madrid correspondent of theLon dou Sl.i,.,lurJ says that the new cham Ur eWieJ on Sunday will certainly sup port the government in resisting Ameri can interference in Cuba, and that it will al.-i be a very t-troug protectionist body. The Republican House of . Representa tives when it refused to pass a law giv ing the treasury the right to issue gold bonds for the purpose of borrowing gold made a record as to souud money which no platform declaration at St Louis can obscure. The frantic trior wnicn parry organs are making to push the currency question into the background and to re new tariff agitation betrays a fear on tn r. rt r.f the Keoubhcan leaders to meet the real issue in manly fashion.

To this end it would be giaa to see a sound money man put on a sound money platform both at St. Ixmis and at Chicago. The real friends of the gold standard should bend all their en ergies to the task of educating and en couraging both parties so that the mon ey issue, which is in fact a commercial and not a political question, shall be defi nitely disposed of after the manner a. which the honor of the nation demands. John Ci. Carlisle, of Kentucky, for president and an "honest dollar" for a platform would make a candidate and a platform that Democracy could tie to and before election time would come the business interests of the county would be gravitating in the same direction. This is not a good year for a straddling candidate nor a straddling platform and the people will view with suspicion any candidate whose record on this point is not an open book. Senator Palmer, of Illinois declares "The congress of the United States finds it an easy matter to attend to the affairs of other nations, but has shown itself utterly incompetent to deal with our do mestic affairs. The grave question of a dctiriem-y in the public revenues and a crippie currency are pressing upon us for solution, and we acknowledge our inability to master them, but we can reat h out and settle the affaire of other governments with eae and dispatch.' The comminsiOBers of Chester and 1 Via are counties jointly decided a few day ago not to enforce the compulsory education law for this year. The Ches ter oounty board a few weeks ago pre- lired to apply it, but when the question as to whether the county or districts were liable arc, not seeing their way clear iu the matter, the commissioners dtt-ided to ignore the act for this year, or until something definite could be de- tidedu(on regarding payments for the taking of the census. The alarmists who are warning the American people against the cheap man ufacturers and cheap labor of Japan, says the Philadelphia lieconl, are very careful to deal in generalities. They tell us that labor is cheap; that men and women work for ten cents a day, and that their wages are paid in silver; but they omit to state, what is the fact, that in all manufacturing operations in Ja pan it takes from ten to twenty opera tives to accomplish the work of one American workman. The captain of a vessel lately unladen at Philadelphia said that, having ob tained permission to take on coal at a Japanese port not usually visited by foreign craft, he was astonished to find that when the coal barges were brought alongside his vessel five hundred men. women and children were set at work, in gangs of fifty, to transfer the cal by the most primitive means passing small basketfuls from band to hand. The full baskets were bandied by the stronger workmen, and the empty ones were passed back to be refilled by the child reo. Their factories, 6warming with cheap labor, are managed in much the same way. The Japanese will never become dan gerous competitors until they shall use our labor-saving machinery and pay high wages. It is the nation that pays the highest wage rates that is an always dangerous competitor "There appears to be a great demand in Kngland for California redwood, and w hile in California the wood is very com mon and is used for building fences and barns, in England it commands a fancy price. Last week a ship took aboard at Oakland a cargo of more thau 1,000, (U feet of redwood, and another ship was preparing to take on an even larger load. The shipments were a novelty and a speculation, and if they bring good returns the California lumbermen will have a new avenue of profit opened to them. Rrires estative Amnion, of Illi nois, thinks that General Grosven or's weekly bulletins of McKinley's gains can have but one purpose, "and that is to stiffen up the McKinley followers, who must see that the tide is beginning to turn." Other Republicans entertain the same suspicion, but do not care to venti late it at this time. These faithful tide watchers are numbered by the tens of thousands. Let the tide drop by so much as an inch, and the fences would be depopulated by a mighty and spon taneous rush. A few days ago the United States sen ate passed 75 private pension bills in CO minutes There has been a great flood of private bills of this character at this session. The general pension laws meet almost every deserving case; and a pri vate bill generally indicates that the ap plicant has leen rejected by the pension office authorities as not coming under existing laws, which were made to cover almost every rightful case. A tendency is noted these days for making liberal allowances by private bills in the way of pensions for the families of deceased of fleers. They are given much Imore by these bills than tha regular statutory al lowance, and much more than goes to the widows of private soldiers who died in the service or fell in the battle. It is impossible that the senate in passing 75 of these bills in GO minutes should give them the investigation and considera tion that should be exercised in voting away the people's money. Some of the cases, no doubt, are meritorious. Oth ere are not, but rest for success on the work and influence of the member championing the bill. Of course there is the usual log rolling in this sort of special legislation. asliinsr'on Letter. Washington D. C, April 10 tb, lS'.'o. A moie imeivy crowd t'ian the anti McKinley Republicans iu congress would be difficult to find. Tnev know th:it Piatt and Quay are hat, hi:i up some 6ort of scheme down i:i l"i ida, aud they fear that the '- about Quay having made a deal .McKin ley are true, and ye: thev not cer tain enough to try to act f i iie.nselves These men don't care a sti i v ' ut the personality of the Candida .

All of which is nuts for the lemocrats- President Cleveland must hnd the nu merous attempts that are daily made by newspaper men anxious' to earn their salaries to tell what he is going to do atout those Cuban resolutions, sent to him this week, a source of const int amuse merit, and so numerous are the stories concocted that it will be almost impossi ble for the president to do anything that will miss all the theories which have been put forth. Somebody will doubt less be able to say "I told you so, but it will not be because they had advance information. All that is known is that the president is considering to determine whether there is any thing in the situa tion to call for any action on his part. The opinion of one of Pennsylvania s practical steel makers, who is at present in Washington, on McKinleyism is en titled to weight. This gentleman, Mr. James Andrews, of Allegheny, said: "The necessity of a high protective tar iff seems to have gone by, for in many lines we have reached a point of cheap ness in production that approximates the cost of production in any of the European countries. Take steel, for in stance. I remember when, as an ap prentice, 1 was employed iu the firpt plant that smelted steel west of the All eghenies and that it sold for 44 cents a pound. Now it is made for one cent a pound, owing to the marvelous improve ments in machinery and better trans portation facilitifs. We have much the advantage ef EugSand, for ote- lie near the surface and can le mined at a tri fling expense, whereas they have to go to great depths for their ores and fuel. We can briug the I.ake buperior ores to the smelters of Pennsylvania in vast quantities", aud water traDs;ortation is very low. Such natural advantages are not enjoyed by any competitor, and hence in the makmg of steel we stand on an tqual footing with all the world." According to Senator Smith, of N. J , the Democrats of that state have no candidate to urge i-fore the fhu-ago convention, and are erfetly w support the man chiwn by tl.e tion. Mr. Smith thinks the Democrat! can carry the state this year .if no mis take is made in the platform adopted at Chicago, no matter who heads the pres idential ticket. The man who thinks that Senator Gor man does not still wield a powerful in fluence in the senate is not a cIom? ob server. I'aly this week Mr. dorman got up and made a few remarks against the idea of alcIishiuK postmasters at county potomcfs which are in the vi cinity of large cities and placing the otlices under clerks from the city others ote the resu.t lhe senate added an amendment to the postotlice appropria tion bill limiting the postmasters who may le abolished to those who preside over postollices which are within five miles of the corporate limits of cities As a rule Democrats in congress do not seriously regard the stories concern ing Senator Tillman s candidacy for the. Democratic presidential nomination which his departure to make some speeches in the west have given circula tion, but personal friends of the gentle men 6ny that he really intends to be a candidate if the silver men control the Chicago convention. Well, anybody can be a candidate, but getting votes enough to nominate is quite another thing. Many Democrats in congress think that Seuatoi Tillman's declaration of his intention to bolt the Chicago con vention if it does not adopt a platform in accordance w ith his views is of itself enough to bar him from receiving auy honors at the hands of that couvention. .M Hi- est of all ia Leavening Power.

I i Mitchell, Ind., April 13 Five men were instantly killed and two others fa tally injured in a bridge accident half a mile from Bedford junction, on the Belt railroad , this morning. The train broke through a trestle. The dead are: Charles Ogden. conductor; Sherman Car penter, fireman; Warreu Leonard, ot Warren, Ky.: Masterson and Devi us, la borers. Charles Davis and Engineer Menzer were so badly crushed they can i ot recover. Tile train consisted of an engine and two gravel cars and were running at high speed. In passing over what is kuown ag the Standard trestle the last span collapsed. The locomotive was at that time beyond the trestle, and had it not been puiled from the track by the weight or the cars lehind it the men on the engine would have escaped. As it was, the two cars went down with the trestle into a ditch 75 feet deep, and the engine, pulled backward in spite of the momentum of the train, rolled over and plunged down an embankment 75 feet high. All the men who were on the train were employes on the road and weie en gaged in ballasting the track with gravel between Mitchell and Bedford. The breaking of the trestle wilt blockade the road for several days. Miat la Murro Castle. Philadelphia, April 13. There is said to be reason for believing that some if not all the crew of the old Philadelphia tug Mascot, which has been missing since November last, may have been shot in Morro Castle, the military jail, on the eas ern eud of Cuba. The Mas cot sailed from Baltimore for Port of pain. Trinidad' on November 2S and has not len spoken since. Captain McGregor comma nded the tug, which was an ordinary river tow boat, but instead of the crew of eight such vessel would usually carry, the Mascot is said to haveeleared with about 40 men on board. It is known that some shipwrecked sailors were picked up on the Cuban coast some time ago and imprisoned by order of Gen. Pando. Amnne the crew of the Mascot was W. T. Kersey, of this city, and his friends are about to institute a search for him among the prisoners iu the :panish prisons. The Convention at Columbus May Adjourn Today. TEARCE WILL Sl'C'(T.EI M'BRYDE.

A dis astrous railroad wreck miraculously un attended with loss of life occurred on the Erie railroad at Sparrowing four miles west of here at 10:40 o'clock last night A car of an east bound freight train left the rails and fell on the westbound track. A Wells Fargo express train which was passing at a terrific rate of speed crashed into the derailed car. The engine of the express train left the track and ran about thirty feet on the ties and then plunged down a thirty-five foot embank ment. Engineer Out water reversed the engine, but it was too late and he went down the embankment with the engine, but escaped uninjured, riremau C row- les was probably fatally injured.

Mr. Edward Downes, United States con- 8ui at Amsterdam writes: I most re spectfully request that our countrymen be warned anew against the perfect folly of spending time or .money towards the collection of what are known aa "Old Dutch Estates." "These estates do not ex'it. The Bank of Holland, in which the unclaimed millions are alleged to tie depot-ited, does not exist. Careful in vestigation induces the belief that these estates originated in the brain of some rascally speculator, who, imposing on human credulity, found 'many victims and fleecing them most profitably." Farmers in the region about Fresno, Cal., are almost in despair because of the plague of rabbits. Although many thousands of the animals have been killed lately in one way or another, by poison, by shooting, and in rabbit drives, they do not appear to decrease in num tiers. 1 housands nave been snot id a day, but they come in from the surround ing uncultivated regions to feast on the grain fields in increasing numbers. It is est ma ted that three jack rabbits will eat as much grain as one sheep. A big drive was held in February and many thousands of rabbits were killed, but a month later it waa estimated there were 100,000 on the same ground. Another drive was held the last of March, but already the labbits are swarming in again. Professor W. P. Pratt aud Hugh Wightman, the Electro-therapeutist, and the bacteriologist of Bennett Medical College of Chicago, claim to have prac tically proved within the last week that epidemics will be impossible in the fu ture. They claim that Asiatic cholera is no more to be feared than earache and that diptberia, glanders and typhoid must yield to the new remedy, the Roentgen ray. Various germs were grown in tubes in proper media. Mag netic lines of force from the Crook es tube were then passed through them. The application lasted two hours. The cholera germ appears to have been wiped out entirely.' The diptberia bac teria have been treated tenderly and fa vorably, but after eight days have failed to show the slightest signs of life. There has been no activity in the bac teria of the other classes, and, with cer tain modifications, the doctors are now ready to announce that the ray, proper ly applied, will destroy any form of in fectious or contagious germs.
