Senator Jones, of Arkansas, is cred-| ited with having made one of the best speeches in favor of the free coin- age of silver ever heard in the Senate. While as strong in his belief in silver as any man in Congress Mr. Jones free from the radical opinions, the ex- pression of which by some of the sil- ver men has done the cause for silver far more harm than good. He spoke for about two hours, and made a very conservative statement, calling es- pecial attention to the unfavorable at- titude of Great Britain, Germany and France towards silver, and the certain- ty that this attitude is not likely to be changed for a long time to come, While admitting the great responsibil ity of the U. 8B. in attempting the re- establishment of bimetallism alone, he advorated it as a duty that should not be shunned : The impression appears to be grow- ing among intelligent Democrats that the custom of the party in power hold- idg the first National Convention will not be followed this year, and that the Democratic convention will not be held until after the Republican con- vention has made its platform and nominations. The National commit- is | tee will this week decide both the time for the convention to The House and Senate Foreign com- all the resolu- tions which have been offered concern- ing Cuba to sub-committees, which in- will notwithstanding the clamor in and about Congress for the reporting the recognition of Cuban belligerency. The thing that would bring about that action on the part of Congress would be the cap- mittees have referred dicates that no hasty action be taken, of a resolution for only ture of Havana by the insurgents, The Monroe doctrine is to be upheld That has been formally decided upon the! by a strong resolution, Senate com- mittee on Foreign Relations, and a sub-committee appointed to draft the resolution.

The McKinley measure will not meet with favor by the Reedites, and the high-protective, will not touch Reed's moderation in regard to the tariff, and the upshot will be the Wilson tariff will remain undisturbed as good enough.
