THE FINANCIAL QUt'fcTIOX. There Will KinbumH enJ Both at St LiiuIh himI Chicago. Mr. Carlisle in his letter to tl Dem' t-ratit: numbers of the V tuck) legit I ;;t ure practical !y jusiifit d the i-ound money nun in revolt fcgain-t Mr Black burn, on the ground that- M Blackburn's free silver views were not warranted bv the Chicago platform of 1892. Mr. Carter in the Senate yesterday justi fied the Republican revolt against the emergvt.ey tun if bill, on the ground that free silver was a part of - the policy outlined and guaranteed at Minneapolis that year. And so the two cades stand. The division in the one party will defeat Mr. Black burn for the Senate, and send the silver men to Chicago next summer for redress, while the division in the other defeats both tariff and currency legislation and throws everything into the melting pot at St. Louis Nothing at this time is thought, to be s clear a that, the work both at Chuiuu ami Si. Loiiis will be the mos t d i ill e 1 1 i t m id er t a k e n 1 y pa r ty managers sine? the war. Extreme action by eirJict convention will mean a hopeless split; a successful con) promise by either convention will deserve to take rank among the party's most notable achieve ments. Assuming the. necessity and the desire 'for a compromise, how, it is asked, shall the Democrats proceed? The financial plank of 1892 was a compromise, and yet it is that that has brought the party to its present plight. The eastern men went straight from the convention to the stump, and euns! rued it to be friend ly to sound money, while the west ern and southern men were quite as positive in the declarations that it meant free coinage. Mr. Blackburn solicited votes from a hundred stumps for Mr. Cleveland in lS'on a free silver interpretation of the Chicago platform. The Republicans are equally em barrassed. The Minneapolis p!at form was a compromise. And yet, as is now conffssed, two radically different interpretations were put upon it. ' Mr. Sherman c-cplai::ed it in one way. ?lr. Teller and Mr. Car ter in another. Mr. Teller now says that no western State could have been carried for the Republicans that year upon any such interpreta tation of the platform as that Mr. Sherman gave and still gives. Ai.d yet Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Piatt eastern men, speaking for eastern interests both announce that the Minneapolis platform will be re-enacted at St. Louis. If it is, evident ly a key this time must go with the deliverauce. x . But the weight of opinion in Re publican circles peems to be that the Minneapolis pLitiorni will not be re enacted at St L irs thut ii tan not be, with tafetv to either section. The whole financial question, it is insisted, has undergone a very ma terial chiir-g;- since then, making a new deliverance absolute!' necessary. Silver does not stand on the same footing now that it did in 1892. At that time it had a feeble prop in the Sherman law; now it, has no prop at all. The white metal as a money metal is homeless a wanderer on the face of the earth, vith a brand across its bro'. Its friends are de manding that it be taken in out of the wet. Washington Star. A Mass Meeting t J Stop a Distillery. On last Thursday there was a very interesting mass meeting held at Mt. Hermon church in Jackson town ship. It was composed of the chris tian people f the c"niiiunity with out regard to elm. eh affiliation. The object of the uireting was to take steps against the whiskey traffic which had been giving that-, neigh berhood a great deal of trouble re cen tly . There was a large congrega tion present and after a number of addn sses it was decided that the congregation should go in a body to the house of Wrn. Starnes, who was erecting a large distillery, and ask him to refrain from his injurious work Almost the entire congrega tion went to Starnes' house and laid the matter before him and a number of mothers begged him with tears and earnest pravears not to erect a distill ery in the community. The distiller would not heed the appeals of his neighbors, however, and is go ing on with his work. One of Star nes' daughter told the ladies that she would go with them and help cut the still to pieces. Monroe Enquirer. The Lockh art-Martin Contest. The la4 est news from Washington is to the effect that the Martin Lockhari contested election case may not be tak n up at this session of Coiirrts? :ii all. The Populists in 'this section are a little impatient at the delaybut of course they have no o.'ie to Maine but their new allies, as the Republicans have full control of the matter. Wadesboro Messenger. for tke Political Scrap Beok. ; ' Chicago vo'ed in 1S94 on the proposition to introduce into its mu nicipal departments (after, they had b en fifled with Republicans) civil s rvice law preventing the removal of employees thereafter by incoming Democrats. It was adopted, and it is now cited in justification of this c mrse that at a recent civil service examination for unskilled laboring men, 118 natives of Italy, 100 na tives of Ireland, 48 natives of Ger many, and 56 natives of the United States presented themselves' for ex amination successfully, which proves that Americans are not aspiring for laboring situations in Chicago. Since 1892 Hill and Boies, Presi dential candidates, have bten defeat ed for Governor in their respective States, New York and Iowa; Thur man, of Ohio; Abbett, of New Jer sey, and Gray, of Indiana, have died; Pattison has been defeated for Mayor of Philadelphia, - Russell, of Massa chusetts, has retired from pt litics, Bayard has gone to England, and the Democrats of Maryland have met with thei first defeat under Gorman's leadership. The largest of the States in which the Democratic Convention is likely to declare in favor of free silver is Missouri, which will have thirty four representatives at tbe Chicago National Convention. The Coming Fashionable Bonnet. That plaited straw, yellowish in tint, will form the fashionable bon net there can be no doubt. But tbe snape selected will depend this sea son, more than ever before, on that fancied by the wearer Since the Directoire, First Empire and Louis Sixteenth styles are all in vogue with a suggestion of the large bonnets fancied during the early part of this century, and the sma'l bonnets such as were in vogue among the beauties of the Second Empire, it would seem as if every face should be suited. Tbe fact that the stock aud the jabot are growing nearer and nearer to the ears means, so say the milli ners, the coming in of ribbon ties, and broad ones at thaf. Importers announce that the enormous straw hats will be tied by inch-wide rib bous under the chin, while the small bonnets will be put on securely with three inch-wide ties.

""vMi once social" was held by the j - u , women of the Metho dist church in Cold water, Mich., last week, in which the usual condi tion of things was reversed, because the young women were paid for the experience they acquired, instead of themselves paying steeply for the privilege of getting it. They shined shoes, tended babies, split kindling wood, and one or two shaved and cut the hair of a few fearless men who attended the social. A Pigeon's Costly Meal. The other day at Venice a gentle man who was visiting that city bought some Indian corn, with which he fed the historical pigeons in the Piazza San Marco. While the birds were feeding a diamond fell from the ring he was wearing and was im mediately swallowed by one of the pigeons. The gentleman put out his hand to try to catch the bird, but in so doing frightened the whole flock, which Hew away to the doge's palace. LondonDaily News. The Situation Grave. Madrid, Feb. 29. The imperial, in referring to the action of the United States Senate, says the inter national situation is grave. MKS. IEA'-ETUaNS PREACHK3. The Noted Woman Reformer Talks About theJLove of Jeso. N Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, the noted Kansas woman, has turned from the paths of politics to the field of reli gion. 'She made her debut as a preacher in Wichita, Kans., last Sunday, and if a crowded church is any indication of success she has every reason to be gratified with her new vocation. The Central Church of Christ, one of the largest in the city, was crowded to the limit of its capacity to hear her, and many thousands " were turned away. It had been expected that Mrs. Lease would deal largely in sensationalism, but her theme and its exposition were far removed from anything of that nature. Many noted divines have spoken to Wichita audiences, but none of them was accorded such an enthusiastic recention as Mrs. Lease. It is predicted that her fame as a pulpit orator will far ex ceed what she has achieved as a re former Mrs. Lease took as her text Mark ix., 27: "But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up; and he arose." It was an eort which indicates the versalitv of its author. Ice Gorges at Xew York. Poiljhkeepsie, N. Y., March 2.
