Amember of the Opposition ; asked Mr. Balfour, who is the , Conservative leader and spokesman of tne Government; in the House of Commons, "whether, in con sonance with the views he had repeat edly expressed, he would advise that the Government invite the assembling of an International conference in" order to obtain an agreement in regard to the currency"?7 lor formally replying, . Mr, Balfour said that 4 he strongly favored such an agreement, but that he had "no right to pledge his colleagues to such an opinion, "J nor "any reason for thinking that such an agreement would result' at the present moment, from an international conference." He added that "a second, abortive confer ence would be very undesirable." ;The anti-silver men in Europe and America speak of this utterance as crushing an fatal to the hopes of bimetalists,- an congratulate themselves on the "burst ing of tho bimetallic soap bubble," but their opponents ee no adequate ground on these complacent and confident claims.

Henry-to i the ropulists, who scores Cleveland for appointed a few, negroes to office, the Raleigh Republican, ed ited by John Williamson, uses the fol lowing language: "Is it true that Mr, Henry left the Democratic party for the reason that negroes were recognized to the ec3v!SLOn of Mr, Henry? If that is" true, then why should Mr. Henry join the Populist party when he knows that the Populists and Republicans are quite likely to fuse in 1S9C, and thereby make him eat nigger wether it sets well on his stomach' or not. If he stays inside tho Populist party he will havo to submit and vote, too, for negroes ap pointees, or he will have to be a deceiv cr .of the voters of the negro race." .
