Certainly no Republican in Illinom, now that through the convention they have spoken so plainly. Senator Tolcoti's Letter. Kroin the rWtadclphl Press. .Senator 'VVoUdU and his associates in Colorado have accepted the unmistakable verdn t of the republican party upon free silver coinage. From the start the Vcm has had no quolijin either as to the posi tion of the party on this Issue or the de cision of honet republican w ho favored free silver coinage. Our couvictiou and expoiiation are justitieil by the facts. Xine-tenlhsof the republican party are opposed to free silver coinage, Western republicans, like Senator Woloott, realize that the only course ios.sible for theiu to take is remain w ithin the party, accept the decision and go forward to the next issue upon the same question. This is the logic, premise aud conclu sion of Senator Wolcotl's letter announc ing that he will remain w ithin the re publican party in spite of its plain oppo sition to free silver coinage. Those w ho urge this daugerous step aa a part of a w ider program of socialism and popu lism, of an attack ou corjioraie interests, Itcrsoiial thrift and invested capital, join ed to iuilation in all tonus, w ill part com pany with the republican party on this issue. No man can w ho, as ia Senator Wol.-ott's case, has sane, rational and settled conviction on the greater issues In-fore the country. Such men must re main in the republican party, because in no other partv i there so much which they can support, approve and urge. Their decision is the decision of the overwhelming mass of the republican. who desire free silver coinage in the western states and territories. Their umber, considered with reference to the party as a w hole, is not large. All told, the republicans who desire free silver coinage cannot elect over fifty del egatestothe SL lonis convention from siaU in favor of this view. Scattering delegates from all over the country can not raise the aggregate of this vote to a tenth of the convention. Free silver coinage is in insignificant minority. When, two years ago, some were foolish ly talking about a majority for it in this state, the facts prove that even in Col--rado the majority is not strong enough to make attempted departure on this issue from the republican party safe, judicious or wise. As far as the republican party a con cerned, the right is over. The party is against free silver coinage by a vote so overwhelming that the issue will not le raised. Asfcirthe denuH.Tatic party, no one will chide Senator Woleott for pre ferring to think the democracy offers no room fir free silver coinage if it makes hi jiersonal position easier. As a matter o( fact, three-fourths of the democratic delegates already elected are for free sil ver nii tinge, and the action of this state, like that of New York, is counterlialanc ed by western states like Illinois and In diana. In this the democratic party rep resents its alliance with populism. The real issue this year is lietween the repub lican party and a coalition lietween free trade democracy and inllation opiilism. and op ilmt issue every northern state I and several Houthern states will be car ried by the republican party.

A little more than a million veterans of the Union, and considerably less than half a million veterans of the confeder ate armiea, were found living in the United State by tha engus takers of HAW. Therult hare only recently beeu tabulated, in reply to a resolution f tha Situate, and tliey throw many iaUrealiug aide ligbu ou fha destiny of the men who met in arms in the great civil war. The surviving w idow a of Union soldier num ber U-i,iOi, while the w idows of confeder ate veterans are only &),:X. The facts have liecn classified in an in toreMing manner by CoL Carroll I. Wright, the commissioner of laUir, who is now in charge of the census work, and he has explained to the Senate why they 1 have not been published in full. It ap pears that it would require more than seven thick quarto volume to carry the 1,400,000 names of the veterans, with tho organizations in which they served, and the cost of the w ork would preclude ita distribution to individual veterans merely for the beuefit of finding their ow n names in the long list. It w as there fore, recommended by CoL Wright, soon after he took charge of the census work, that the complete records be turn ed o cr to the commissioner of peusious. for use iu the army and uavy survivors' division w here they could lie consulted by any oue having special interest iu the subject. The facts which CoL W right has pre iared lor the Senate involve a classifica tion by stales, ages, aud other particulars of the great mass of data at his command. The exact figures show that on June J, therewere l,U'!4,(f73 surviving United Slates soldiers, sailors and marines; 4" irj) surv i ving confederate veterans ot the civil war, and OO.oiH surviving widows of confederate veteran. The politicians are likely to find inter esting food for thought iu the geographi cal and race distribution of the veterans of both armies.. The Uuicu veterans were Caucasians to the extent of nearly 55 per cent, of the entire numlicr, the ex Hi number being !W),274, of whom 7. 701 were native whites, 71S,4tti were bom of native parents, sj',;lij born of foreign parents, and 1774 w ere foreign w hites. The total of negroes, Chinese,. Japanese and civilized Indians w ere ZIJ'M, or 5 2-lH per cent, of the w hole number. Ihe gt graphical distribution of the veterans indicates that many of those from the Fast settled in the West alter the war, for the proportion is much small er iu the easteru slates to the imputation than in the new stab, of the West. The number ia largo enough, however, to le a terror to the politicians, even iu the East, if their vole w re east solidly on ouesiije. Fveii Maisachuetts, where the sentiment iu favor of pensions legislation is not us ually an active factor in politi-a! contests, shows U',ii"tj surviving- veterans, or an even uonO to each congressional district- New Virk, although standing third iu the list of aggngate numbers, ranks among the lowest of tjie northern states in proportion to the population, her veter ans numbering only a little ifTorethan 2,.VHi to a ciaigressional district. Indiana, on the other hand, contained in 1WW, nearly .V) survivor to a congressional district, Kansas showed more than ti.OoO, and Missouri, with ner divided alle giance, showed more thau i,M. " Union veterans are sprinkled all over the South, from 3t',ri0 in Kentucky down to 2,? iu tieorgia, but the niiuitier of confederate veterans In the North Is much smaller. The entire Northeast, iu eluding New Jersey and Pennsylvania, contained in 1 only 2, M3, of whom I, 074 were in Pennsylvania ami 7"7 iu New York. Therewere only Jl lonely up holders of "the lost cause" in Vermont, but they had the sympathy of 14 confed erate w idows. A comparison of the figures of the sur viving veterans of the Union with the number borne on the pensions rolls indi cates that more thau two-thirds of the J veterans are already drawing pensions. The number of veterans pensioned under the general law iu lst5 was 3.-ii4-V5, aud under the act of 1210 3";".11S, exclusive of 17()T navy pensions. This made a total of'-o,"- invalid pensions growing out of the civil war, or considerably more than two-thirds of the I,n.t4,07-1 veterans living in lstJli. That death has been thinning their ranks during the past five years is indicated by the im-rease in widows pen sions. The mimlier in lt was 2n.',4i.M, which is more than .15 per cent iu exec of the whole niiintHr of widow thus drawing pensions on account of the civil war increased from 19'V'-,9 in lJ4 to 311,- 4v! in 1 ", and the latter were divided in the proportion of liX),21"2 under the geuer- al law, X,?X, under the act of l!l and "oi' on account of the navy. The whole numlicr of penssms, indud ing those forcontlii-t-s beforethe civil war. was if;,('l2 for the fiwal year KH. for 14 and iViJCi for ISfft. These figures would indicate that the creation of a ser vice pension would increase by about or -') per cent the amount now paid to surviving veterans, but the time may not be far distant when the thinning of their ranks would meet the increased lilierality of the government half-way and require no larger expenditure for a service pension than is required under existing law.

Ti:iiebax, Persia, May 2. Some addi tional details touching the assassination of the Shah of Persia were made pubiie through official "sources to-day. The Shah, accompanied by tho Grand Vizier, Asphar, and a numlicr of attendants, paid a visit to the shrine of Shah Abdul Azim. His majesty traversed the outer court of the shrine, where he skipped and gave a bank uote loau Arab and spoke a few kind words to a w ster-car-rier. Two chains liar red the- way to the inner court ofthe shrine. TUB ASSASSIN'S HF.AI1I.Y WORK. The Shah had just passed the first chain when the assassin approached him and when within a few fe it of him fired a revolver, the bullet from w hieh struck the Shah near the heart. His Majesty fell forward upon hi knees, but rose to his feet and walked a few paces, when be fell again. The assassin was imme diately seized and hurried away. The Shah at once became unconscious and was immediately taken to his car riage and conveyed to the Palace at Teheran, whither doctors were summon ed as quickly as possible. When the physicians arrived at tho palace they found the Shah dead, and certified that 4iis death was caused by a bullet lodged in the pericardial regiou between the sixth ami seventh rHis. Immediately after the death of the Shah had been announced the heir to the throne, Muzafer-cd-Pin, was pro claim rd Shah.

The repeal of the general f"nce laws of 1700 and 17s4 has caused some confusii n in the minds of farmers as to their rights and duties as to outside or road fences. At various farmers' institutes and at meetings ofthe Hoard of Agriculture Sec retary Kdge has end.vored to sol the matter rijht, but notwithstanding these and other efforts in the same direction the en fusion still exists. The fai-t is that the repeal of .the gen eral law s of 17U0 and 17.s4 has coiiipU'tel y reversed things so far as outside or road (encesate concerned. Under th-Jsa acts the ow ner of land was required to protect it against stock passing along the road of suffer damages. Min'te the repeal of these laws it ha become the duty of the ow n ers of livestock on the public roads to prevent them from trespassing, aud if trespass takes place the owner of the slock is personally responsible to the owner of the land for any damages done to crops or other property. Under tho old law the crops hail to tie feneed to pro tect them from stock, and now the stock must be restrained and the laud owner Is not compelled to maintain fences unles he so chooses. The consideration of the fence question usually brings up other questions closely related to it, and among them the right of the public to fruit; grass, Ac. The right to this class of property is clearly vested in the owner of the land and tbi public have no rights to It whatever. It is just as much the property of tho laud owner fas if it were on the Inside of a gsd fence. atid the public have no right to iu any manner disturb it. If trees, grass or oth er property In any manner interfere with the public travel the road supervis ors have the right to remove it, for noth ing prejudicial to the public right of un impeded travel can be allowed to remain, but theonly judges of this are the road commissioner. So nice is this distinction that in case of record in court a man whose children passed along a public road on their way to school obtained per mission ofthe road supervisors to cut the grass so that it might not wet his child ren's clothing, but after cutting it he hauled the grass home and fed it to his horse. The owner of the kind adjacent to the road brought suit and recovered dam ages to the value of the grass. In haul ing the grass away the farmer exceeded his right and the rights delegated to him by the supervisors and made himself li able to damages. The land upon which a public road is located is given to the public for the right of way or passage over it and tho public has no right in it. A man may not stop on the public road and impede travel, for by so doing he interferes with tho rights of the pubiie. He cannot haul away earth, sand, stones or other material, for they are as much the property ofthe land owner, subje-t of course to the reserved rights of the road supervisors, as similar material within the fences of the farm. The owner ofthe land gave merely the right of passage over the land, and if for any cause the road is disomtinued tho land leverts to him and again becomes a portion of his farm. The right of the supervisors is auto cratic. They may for the purjiose of re paring roads, building bridges, Ac, cut dow n trees, remove earth or stone, aud the owner of the land has no redress un less the materials are taken off his farm and not within the limits of the road. -If taken from his farm he is of course en titled to payment, but he cannot prevent their removal if the supervisors see fit to insist. Under the present condition of our gen eral fence laws the lines which lound the rights of public travel are as much pro tection to the farm owner and his crops as the lest fence which he can build, and any live sts-k passing this line are tres passers and liable for all damages done Mriticiua! value in a lxrttle of Hood'f Sarsa- larillathan In any otls-r pi-rjiaratoa.

South wick, of New York, to protect free lalior from eomjietition ilh convict lalior by restricting tho sale of convict-made good to the States iu which they are produced. The measure was amended so as to ex empt tho manufacturers of agricultural products from the operations of the pro posed law. In the report it is stated that "it is riot designed by this bill to attempt to inter fere in the slighest degree with the right of eai'h State to employ its convicts and to dispose of the products of their labor in any manner or by any system or plan that may appear wisest and licst to its citizens. All it seeks to accomplish is to confine the results of the operation of such system so far as possible within State lines, and to prevent resulting evils, whether necessary or otherwise, from ex tending to and injuriously affecting the citizens of those other States w hich elect to make different disposition ofthe time and lalior, of their prisoners."
