President Cleveland and Sc retary 01ny could not have . . secured a ; more natifactory stale pf affairs than the ex pressiona of prominent repnb lican papers and Congress v pen hvft broDgbt about if they had personally had charge of tbe; arrangements ; ''themselves. These repuIicanH " have publicly, put their par ty on record and when Pres ident Cleveland sends a spec ial message to Congress,- as he will do shortly after it as sembles, setting forth the de mands be has made upon Gnat Britain to recognize the Monroe doctrine, and ac companying it with. Great Britain's an nwera thereto con cerning it claims in Venezu ela, the republicans cannot " without stultifying them selves hold up their handH in holy horror and cry "jingo isml" They will be compell ed to endorse the President's position, simply tiecause their , previous utterances will have ' left them nothing else to do. There is nothing new in the diplomaticcomplication with Great Britain, but there is reason to believe that there will be this week, as Great Britain's answer to Secreta- V, ry Olney's last dispatch, sta ting fhe position of this gov. 7, ernment and its intention to . stand by the Monroe d o c . trine, is daily expected. Up on the nature of this answer ; the next move of the govern ment will depend. Although a specific answer was asked for it is regarded as proba ble that it will not be receiv ed. Even had Great Britain fully determined a week ago to positively deny the right of th United States to inter fere under the Monroe doc triue with its affairs in Vene zuela it would not do so now. Tne deal that Russia has made with China has given Great Britain something more important to do than to quarrel with this country. British commercial suprema cy, is at stake in t he Ei st a nd J for that .reason it is believed i J- that the answer will be n di plomatic one that will leave the question open until John Bull has more time to give to it. . The rather silly report that Harrison and Quay had made friends and thtt the latter is , going to take charge of the former's boom f -jund no le lievers in Washington, but it served to bring out sever al good, if not new stories, concerning similai reports in the past. Lots of the people remember that during the latter part of the campaign in 1892, at about the time the Harrison ticket struck the toboggan .slide, Boss " Quay went to New York, and the papers were full of sto ries abouthi8having become reconciled with Harrison and . going to succeed Carter, who had as chairman of the Re- . publican National Commit- : tee made 0 mess of the cam- ' paign, so far a' his part, was concerned.' Oil. Mctlure, ed itor at the the .Philadelphia ; Timrt, met Quay in. New ; York, and being an old per sonal friend asked him In con fldence whetht r there vt a s any trutli in the story! Quay replied: "Not a word. 111 tell you why I'm in N. Y. I heard that : there might ! be' sotne danger of Harrisois's election, and I merely ran up here to test the truth of the story from tlu appearance of things. I find that Harri 8ji)n stands no more show of election than a snow-bird, That relieves me. I'll now re turn to Pennsylvania and at tend to reflecting Mutt Quay Senator." Mr. Benjamin Harrison has not given up h'pe ot -getting that nomination ugain, not withstanding the opposition of Quay, Piatt and other re- publican bosses. This lias lieen made very plain f.o those who know the inside track. When a number.-.. of the Republican National Com mitttee met in New York City last week to decide upon the date for the comittmee meeting which will determine the time and-place for hold ing the National Convention of the party, Mr. Harrison had a confidential represent ative on the ground he is re ported to entertain doubts of Chairman CVrter's iriend- ship for him; others are cer tain thnt Cm i ter has joined the combine against himi" the person ot V. S. McKeen. the railroad man, to find out the full strength of thcoin. bine against him. He also has an agent Ex-Governor 8a under, whose daughter is the wile of '"Prince Buss" in the South trying to 'arrange' for delegates t. the National Convention. Secretaries Carlisle und La-i mont have been to their re spective homes and register ed and they will both vote the straight democratic tick et on election day. President Cleveland did not regieter, consequently he will have no vote. Secretary Carlisle says Kentucky will go democratic although the majority may be smaller than usual. Senator Gorman after hav ingcaretully gone over re turns made by trusty demo erat8 in every election pre cinct in Maryland say there isn't the slightest doubt ot the state remaining in the democratic column. The re publican trick of trying to persuade democrats to vote for the republican candidate for Governor and the reat of the democratic state ticket is too transparent to catch ma ny votes. The nearer the opening of the session of Congress gets, the more apparent it becomes that the fight which a num ber of republican members are making for the chairman ship of the; most important committees may fdevelop some rather dangerous ob stacles in. the path of the Itee-J Presidential boom.

A Farmers' .Congress was held at Atlanta, Ga., 1 a s t week, composed . of . farmers from various States, a li" d took the breath from the free coiners of the country by re fusing to declare for 16 to 1. Earnest efforts have been made to convince the coun try that it did make such n declara tion, but the facts are the other way, as tht record shows. , Here is a resolution which was introduced and dp feated by n vote of 25 1 to 104: -. Resolved, That- we tavor the free and unlimited coin age of b'oth silver and gold at the"present ratio of 16 to 1, gusrde.1 by an lmwirt du tv upon bullion and foreign coinequal to the difference between the , bullion value and the coinage value of the metal at the date of importa tion, whenever the bullion value of the metal is less than itH coin value. And even that resolution proposed, it will be noted, to keep out foreign silver by put ting,an import duty upon it. Fol lo wi ng is n tewnl u t ion th a t the meeting did. adopt: Resolved, That the Fann ers' National Congress is em phatically in favor of the equal use of both gold and silver coin as money of ulti mate redemption and equal ly asstandnrds of value, and to secure this object we fa vor: , A conference to be called by the United States of those na timis ready tp" accept bimet allism withtheuhlimited coin age of both' gold and silver at a ratio tov agreed on. A law requiring duties on commodities ihe product of or imported from mono-gola nations to be paid in foreign coin. A law imposing duties on silvf r imported from gold na tions and denying coinage privileges nt our mints. And following ia another: -Resolved, That we favor the free and unlimited coin age of both silver and gold at an agreed ratio guarded by import duty upon foreign bullion and foreign coinequal to the difference between the bullion Value and the coin age value of the metal at the date of the importation, when ever the bullion alue of the metal is less than itscoin vol ne. Any one may see by read ing these resolutions, which were adopted, that neitherof them says anything about 16 to 1, but that both favor free and unlimited coinage, one "at an agreed rati d" and the other "on a a ratio to be agreed on" by ''a conference to be called for that purpose. This is not independent free coinage and nobody can so argue, but it is the tree coin age tint all ot us are in fa vor of. There is cheer in t h e pro ceeding of this Atlanta meet ing. Its result shows that the fat mers are swinging a rnund all right on this free noinage business. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla.
