END OF A WILD GOOSE CHASE.
Here is the plaint of a silver paper
over the future of Senator AVolcott's
silver junket. The Spokesman-Review
aVlrmts that the international
silver conference came to just what
everyone expected it would.
"Senator Wolcott, Adlai Stevenson
and the other members of the mone
tary commissions who have been
chasing moonbeams in Europe for
the past six months, have received
their conge and can return. Their
efforts have come to naught as every
well-informed person expected.
L.ord Salisbury will neither go into
another international conference, nor
will the Indian mints be re opened.
Germany will not act unless Great
Britain comes into the movement.
Trance will do nothing unless Eng
land or Geimany takes part, and
there you are. England holds the
key to the situation, and the cabinet
has been flirting with our commis
sioners. "In justice to President McKinley
it must be admitted that he has tried,
in good faith, to carry out his party's
-pledge to make another effort for an
international conference. Neither
he nor the men who wrote that
pledge had any serious idea that any
thing would come from the attempt,
but it satisfied a greit many voters
who wanted the gold pill silver
coated, and no great effort was re
quired to carry out the promise.
"Senator Wolcott has worked
hard, and had really succeeded in
working up his enthusiasm to the
point where he made himself think he
was on the road to success. He will
feel keenly his failure, and all the
more keenly because it will mean bis
retirement from the senate. His
record and achievements on the sil
yer question will not appeal to the
voters of ColDrado.
The announcement that the treas
ury department has refused the offer
made by a New York banking house
to exchange $1,000,000 in gold at
San Francisco for currensy in New
York, calls attention anew to the
rapidity with which the surplus gold
of this country is piling up. The
offer of " the firm in question was to
pay a premium of one eighth of one
per cent,and also the exprpess charges
for transporting the gold across the
continent; and the fact that this
proposition was declined by the gov
ernment emphasizes the marked
change in the situation as compared
with that of a year or so ago when
the Cleveland administration was
anxious to secure gold. In this con
' nection it is to be remembered that
nothing but a miracle can prevent a
continuance of the movement of
cereals abroad for many weeks to
come, which will, of course, serve to
still further enlarge the balance of
trade in our favor.
President McKinley has appointed
John : A. Kasson special commis
sioner to carry into effect the recip
rocity provisions ot the Dingley
tariff law. The step is a bold and
fearless one, says the Statesman, yet
wise and expedient. It means that
reciprocity is to become a settled
feature or the administration. The
trade relations . between the United
States and foreign countries will be
nicely adjusted, and our foreign
trade will assume larger proportions
than ever. The president proposes
to have his country reap every bene
fit that may be gained by advanta-
geous treaties with other nations.
He will certainly make his adminis
tration historical for peaceful con
quests. - --
It is said there are more than 1000
candidates running for municipal
offices in Ihe city of New. York, and
many more thousands awaiting the
results of the election, expectins to
be rewarded with minor official po
sitions. The population of . Ireland as re
turned by last year's report,is 4,560,-
378. This shows that there has
been a steady decline since 1845,
when the population' was 8,295,061.
It fell below 7,000,000 in 1850; less
than 6,000,000 in 1855, and below
5,000,000 in 1884. The excess of
births over deaths last 3'ear was 31,
941, which was lost by emigration,
the number leaving being 38,995.
It is expected that the short crops
will cause in increase . in emigration
during the coming year, and a large
decline in the population will result.
A Play Tli at Pays.
Monday night at the Vojrt opera house
King Laughter will inaugurate his
merry rule, for comedy of the brighest
and breeziest kind will be offered in the
play "Sam'I of Posen," in which the
celebrated comedian, M. B. Curtis, will
be the bright particular star. It must
be quite a grind to even as conscien
tious and capable an actor as is Mr.
Curtis, to appear la one play night after
night during a period of eeventeen con
secutive years and speak the eamja dia
logue, go through the same comical
grimaces, perform the same gestures,
and burst into hilarious enjoyments of
certain stage situations. It must in
that length of time become more or less
distasteful to him. After the first year
or eo all the novelty must wear off, and
the hard, never-changing duties, it
would seem, would become quite .uncon
genial, unless the actor was particularly
enraptured with the'role he portrays,
and this rapture given an especially
pleasing seasoning on account of by ap
pearing in such role it is the means of
bringing forth another very large role
composed of good and lawful United
States money. "Sam'I of Posen" has
made a half million dollars for M. B.
Curtis. See it, and you will not be sur
prised. .
