INTERNATIONAL MONETARY
CONFERENCE.
The International monetary Council
of Brussels have been debating another
week on the great problem of the cur
rency of the world, and ' have accom
plished nothing. Mr. Rothschild gave
expression to a great truth when he said
that "what 'is test for the world gener
ally, must prove best for individual in
terests." That gold does not sustain
the same relation of value to silver is an
established fact. Silver has been be
coming cheaper and cold dearer. Which
has changed most is not easy to deter
mine. Mr. Rothschild's plan" was to
promote an adjustment, ostensibly look
ing to the end, that England and India
would have the lion's end of the adjust
ment, that is to say that India currency
should have pre-eminence in the settle
ment of the monetary question, also
that the United States should continue
its purchase of 54.000,000 ounces a year,
and that the European governments
should together buy an amount equal to
25,000,000 for five years at not to exceed
43d per ounce.
It was also proposed that the . legal
tender of silver in England be raised so
-as to cover the 5 note. The gold stand
ard in England he held' to be the, only
possible one. as the commerce of the
world is so largely carried on by bills of
exchange on London, payable . -in gold.
No universal arrangement of the cur
rency question was possible, as the con
ditions in the various countries are so
different. Unless something of this na
ture were done by the conference, , he
urged, the price of silver would fall, and
a disastrous monetary panic would fol
low. The committee of thirteen, to
whom the scheme of Mr. Rothschild
was referred, by a vote of 7 to 6, rejected
it, but bv a large majority favored that
of Mr. Moritz ; Levy, which proposed a
gradual withdrawal" of all gold coin un
der value of 20 francs and all bank notes
under 20 francs, except in case of silver
certificates.
Mr. Rothschild's plans were with
drawn, and after a good deal of skirmish
ing, regrets were expressed, thinking
that the Americans could be conciliated,'
and that 8'Hiie agreement could le set
tled on.' The fact is that the Enelish
are determined to compel the Americans
-to agree on some basis by which there
'shall be a free coinage of silver and still
continue the present purchasnp.iiTst.
r American delegation have them on
a lively string, and are adroitly at work,
which is looked uuon suspiciously as
foreshadowing the repeal of the silver
laws by the present congress, which
would paralyze the Anglo-Indian trade
tenfold. This apprehension has -put
rtheni on another scheme, which will .be
developed on the assembling of the
council today. Tomorrow Senator
Jones will wind ut the debate and in
his argument will stand by his Ameri
can principles and make some declara
tions. Bimetalisni in the Council ap-
". pears to have a poor support, and it is
scarcely possible that any agreement
f will he reached at all. It is charged
""that if there is an ultimate failure of the
conference, it will be due to France and
the Latin union.

THE DALl.KS,
It is not generally known that Califor
nia, at its last election, November 8th,
adopted ' a constitutional amendment
for the election of United
r c
States senators by the people, but such
is the case. California is the first state
to beirin a reform in that direction. It
is hardly possible that many, other states
will fallow her example, preferring to
wait and see the result of the experi
ment. There ia a 'rowingopinion, how
ever, that all elective offi'-ers should be
chosen bv the people direct, and not by
proxy. That the president also should
be elected by a popular vote, and not by
rnte electors as the constitution now
provides. This is a question that is un
der discuseion which will be decided
sooner or later through the pressure for
reform.

Mr. Cleveland appreciates the fact
that there is trouble ahead for him in
the distribution of government offices
after he takes his seat the 4th of March.
He is preparing ahead for the occasion
and when opportunity afforded has not
hesitated in expressing himself in the
matter. When it comes to making ap
pointments there will be a great many
disappointed politicians. There are not
a few populists wh j expect recognition
and some pay for their services in the
' fusion game. The democratic managers
in Oregon expect a great deal for having
taken one vote away from the repub
licans. '
