Unles Secre- tary Carlisle is badly inista- r ken. the gnanci.il, policy of the administration will be en dorsed by the Kentucky dem oci-Htic S t a te Convention f ,w)ibh ossein Ides next week. ; It is well known that both President Cleveland and Sec retary (Jai lisli- ha ve been deep ly interested in the financial campaign which hasbcen car ried on inside th democratic ! party of Kentucky for some t imp, nnd it is perfectly natu ral that they should boh be pleased with prospects of vie toryforthe side they have . championed. - It eem, as far as it can be ascertained! tht the fears which have been entertained by some demon at, that the financial split irr the party in 1 Kentucky would be perma nent, arejrroundless. Repre sentative Kendall, of that sta te, who is now in Washing tun, and wh'i is a free silver ; democrat, says on this sub- - jnet: "The silver question is but one issue that is en vol v ed in the party. Beyond that there ar democratic princi ples to which the financial question will be subordina ted. Although the last elec tion in Kentuc kv whs a v i v close one, 1 feel confident that when the state votes for pres ident we will have one of onr old time majorities. No dif ference of opinbiron a eine issue can prevent the party holding together." Attorney General rlermon left Washington yesterday for his old home, tvhere he will as rapidly as possible ar range his private business preparatory to his residence" at the National capital. He expects to return before the first of July and to remain here the greater part of the summer. Captain Howsrate'f. second trial for embezzeling money from the government while ' acting as disbnrsingofficerof the Weather 11 urea u will close early this week, and public expectation is that if the ju ry reaches an agreement an other vrdict of "not guilty" wll be found. This exiecta tion is not based altogether upon the generally acknowl edged difficulty of convicting in Washingtoncourtsthieves who steai from the govern ment, but largely upon the manner in which the prosecu tion in both of Howgtite's tri als has been conducted, The prosecuting attorney a re publican hold-over, by the way has probably June the best he could, but it has been deal1 from the first that he was out classed by the law yers employed by Howgate; and close observation of ma ny important trials has con vinced me that when a law- "y gWf ugainstanothef out of his class about the same r " result can be expected a s from a race horse, prize fight ir or bae ball-club under similar circumstances, ;. ... pieextentionfof the. civil serVicii t'fyffe employees of the govern men t prin ting of fice, more than two thousand in number,, which has been f flcially announced by Presi dent Cleveland, is, of course, highly-pleasing fo most of the employees of that estab lishment; buf. there are lots of people who have doubts about the satisfactory work big of the change. ,,"1 wMi," said a democrat closely and confidentially con nected with the administra tion, "that every prominent democrat was working as en ergetically and unselfishly for harmony in the democratic party of his stale as Senator Hill is doing in New York. He knows that if the party is to win the presidential election it must regain control of the empire state, nnd he is devo ting his great organizing tnl ent to gettting the party, in gpon ngntiiig condrtlon, IB- , ." unit iimrivtrii me CIIIII1U.H grtrdlessofthemanwhoma.vffrn.n u ,.,iifi,.n r iu neaa ine national ticket. When one considers the prone lies of all men to desire a bove all things to 'get even' with those who had in any way balked their ambition, Senator. Hill cannot be given l;o much credit for his pres ent attitude." Those interested in the at tempt of the republicans to postpone or strald'e the si! vm question will keep their eyes on Senator Dubois at the convention of the repub Mean national league, to l held at Cleveland. Ohio,- this week, Mr. Dubois, who has been in Washington for som time, lias publicly given no tice of his intention tpVpring he silver question on thecon yeiftion and demand that some action be' taken-' upon it. Since tUe'd great pressure hus been.'brougli t to bear iip on him 'to content bimsell with merely 'tatiughfs view in favor of silver to the con vention. His attitudeut tbe convention will show whatef feet the pressure had. News and Observer: The State Treasurer has decided t'.iat the special tax, levied by Section 31 and 38 of the lie venue Act. is in force from and after its ratifica tion, and that nil board iughouue and hotel keepers, doctors, law yers and dentists who have not paid the tax of 50 cents on a room and the $ 10.00 license are liable to indictment for doing business without obtaing license. This is a far reaching decision, and those interested would do well to pay up at once or they may find themselves in a bad pre dicament. It is their duty to pay this new tax to the sheriff of the repeetive counties, and to obtain their license. It is a monstrous law, the pro duct of fusion, but this is an era of reform, we may remark in pass iug. .

THE MEMPHIS COJYENTIOS. ; .-;$., 7-r ...... , ,;. ': The platform adopted by the convention is na us fol lows: ,'. "The bimetallic standard of silver and gold has behind it the experience of ages,' and has been tested and approv ed 'by the enlightened and de liberate judgment of man kind. The gold standard is n departure from the estab lished policy of the civilized world, with nothing to com mend it but twenty-two years of depression and disaster to the people, and extraordina ry accumulation f wealth in the hands of a few. ''There are some facts bear ing upon this question recou nted and admitted by all candid men, whether advo cates of bimetallism or a sin gle gold stund u'd, 'Ainong tbfse is that very year that marked the change in the bimetallic tc the sin gle gold standard is tlmveiy .vw.r .....!.... 4.1 ! I:... ing prices, large profits, general contentment and great prop perity to a condition of fall ing prices', diminishing prof its, insecurity of investment, nnimpjdyed labor, and a hea vy depression in all branches of trade and industry, It is not a matter of dispute even aiming the honest advocates of the gold standard, the gen eral prosperity came to an end with the destruction of the bimetallii system, and that hard times, falling pri ces, idle workingmen and wide spread depression came in with t lie gold standard and prevails to-day wherever the gold standard has been adop ted. CONFESSION OF BLUNDER 'Every international mon etary conference, that has been called, every demand in this country and in Eu rope for an international a greement to - reestablish the bimetallic standard is a con fession iNjiat the demoniiiza tion of tfcv system was ablun der, if no a crime; that its consequences; have been dis astrous, and that the condi tions that it has wrought are full of menace and of ppril. "The logic of facts estab lished beyondjintelligentques Hon that the destruction of silver as primary by a con spiracy of pplfish interests is the cause of the widespread depression and suffering that began with the goldstanord. There can be no restoration of prosperity, no permanent relief from prevailing condi tions, until the gi eat cause has b.'en removed by a com plete restoration of silver to its proper place as a money metal, equal with gold. " We believe in a money of stable value; we believe least of all in appreciating stan dard; it is only through the practical operation of bimet allism that a stable stan dard of value can be secured. A standard constituted oi money constantly increas ing in yalue is uot sound, a single, nor a stable standard but. a constantly -changing standard. "The effect of gold mono metallism is to establish one standard fori he credit or and another for the debtor,, nnd there can be no more dishon est monetary, system h a h that whrh gives short meas ure to the borrower arid long measure to the lender. "Under the policy prevail ing prior to 1873 there enn be no violent change in t h e relutive value of the two met ais, or a rise in value of one metal is counteracted by a decreased demand nnd a fall in value by an increased de mand. "Under the operation of this benfficmt law a stable relation was maintained b t:een them in spite of the most extreme changes hi rel ative productions. "From the first period of our history up to 1873 the right of the debtor to choose whether he should pa v h i s debts in silver or gold coin was always recognized. The subsequent policy has been to transfer this right to the creditor, thus ending the eon stnnt increase in the value of the dentcrmetnl,and destroy the parity between them." Rensour for Dirwoa i Italy Thu following; ire - grounds for which divorces have been trrviiited by the Italian court: For calling his wife's sister a thief. For beating his wife's pet dog. For constantly chewing to bacco. For cutting his wife's curls without bei consent. For refusing to take his wife 'out for a walk. For refusing to sew on her husband's trouser buttons. For forcing his wife to sit up until after midnight. For the wife's staying in bed until noon. For lefusing to let her hus band go too near the kitchen fir on a co-d day.

Soiue of the Democratic po! itfeians of North Carolina a p pear to have gone clean cra zy. We have it now t h a t 'heavy pi-essu re" is being brought to bear on Chair man Pon, of the State execu tive committee, to call the committee together that it may call a State silver con vention. Any fool can see that the State committee ha already met once too often. At a time of profound pace it has thrown an npple of die cord into the camp, and now it is proposed that it reas semble and throw a dozen. There is no demand from the rank and file of the party for any such convention as that proposed; the suggestion is from th fertile brains . of statesmen, out of jobs. They have been lost in the wilder ness and a star of hope has arisen. It bears the form- and color of a silver dollar and they are falling down and worshiping it. Seeing an o verwhelming disposition on the part of the people iu fa vor of free silver, they con ceive that they can safely af ford, to ignore the minority sentiment in the pirty, tdap it. over and go on. We are here to say to them that they can't afford to do any thing Df (he kind. When they come to the polls next year they cannot rely upon Popu list votes but must depend upon the votes of Democrats and there are notenuughfree silver Demacrats in North Carolina to curry an election. It is well enough for them to bw this fact in mind and not goad the sound money mf n beyond the poini. of en durance, A proposition to call a free silver convention now, sixteen months in ad vance ot the election, when there is no sort of occa sion for it, is nn unnecessary defiance of a respectable mi nority, and the consequen ces would be disastrous. Silrcr Men Defeated. Canton, 0 June 14. The ad ministration forces -the country Democracy to-jay defeated the silver men by packing theconven tion and relusing to adopt reso lutions of any sort. They did m by refusing the harmony promo ters of the parjy, but. nt until a big row was had between the two tactions. It was apprH;iated by Antho ny Howells, consul to Wales, who tried to endorse tho Cleveland policy after the convention had decided to let'resolutions go by default. The silver men tacked on the endorsement every declaration of the party since 1876. and the del egates, rather than repudiate all these doctrines were ready to vote with silver men, when How ells took the matter out of their bands by withdrawing their mo tions.
