Are not those who sincerely desire to have the straightforward principle of free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 established at the Chicago convention taking long chances with ex-Gov.

Boles of Iowa? I have seen letter after letter written by him to various Iowa newspapers In the past year, and in no letter does he advocate free coinage at 16 to In one letter he laid down nine different propositions on the silver question, but not one of them contained the words 16 to 1, or any advocacy of free silver coinage at any ratio. In this letter he advocated extensive purchases of sliver by the Government. But the most significant stand he has taken to my knowledge was at the State Democratic Convention of his State, held in Dubuque, a few days ago. The platform adopted by that convention contained a straight declaration in favor of 16 to 1 free coinage. Gov.

Boies wrote out with bis own hand and sent to the Committee on Resolutions the following to be Inserted after their declaration of 16 to 1: "In making this declaration we do not Ignore or underestimate the importance of the Democratic doctrine that the parity of coins made from the two metals, of which a double standard is composed, should be faithfully and honorably maintained. And while we believe a ratio which has been substantially continued for three-quarters of a century in the most prosperous period of our country's history will prove equally efficient and equally satisfactory if re- adoDted now. still, if when silver and gold are restored to absolute equality before the law, with equal rights in the mints of the nation, and as money of final redemption, reasonable experience shall demonstrate that parity at the ratio aforesaid cannot be mintalned, we pledge the Democracy of Iowa to aid by every means within its power the establishment of a -new ratio Just to all classes of our citizens alike, by which such parity shall be main tained." The committee rejected his plank, and think that the Democrats of Missouri ought to be equally prompt and frank In saying that no such teeter-totter bimetallism will be satisfactory to us. What does it mean? What is "reasonable experience?" How easy a thing It will be for Wall street, served thus in advance with notice that the ratio of 16 to 1 is merely on trial, to determine that "parity" cannot be maintained, and demand that the attempt shall be abandoned? And if we are honest with ourselves, must we not admit tnat this proposition, as written by Gov. Boies, is Juggling w-ith the question? The country Is suffering from uncertainty.

Better even a defective system, well settled, than wavering and doubt. But I cannot imagine a more doubtful situation than would be created by adopting Mr. Boies' plan of a sort of trial bl- metnlliam urTifll- rift onlla a. "tpntailvft doube Btandard." Ever since his avowal of this half-hearted bimetallism I have seriously questioned the wisdom of selecting him for the sliver standard bearer. Suppose, for Instance, In his letter of acceptance he comes out, as I am told he will, for this Wall street bimetallism, that is, such bimetallism as Wall street will v.

13 aim diivci, auu iu uiBcaiucu u. able experience shall demonstrate that par ity at the aforesaid ratio cannot be main tained?" Mr. Boies is a new convert to the silver cause. A short time ago he spoke in Denver and ignored the silver question to the Infinite disgust of Col. Tom Patterson and all the friends of silver.

We are taking long chances if we make Boles the standard-bearer of the cause of silver in. the coming contest. JAMES A. HUGHES. St.

The Rev. of Hartford ex hlbits a sweet Christian spirit his attack ore a bit of Ivy that grew on the grave of Robert E. Lee. Some people are wondering why the church is making little but is the fact to be wondered at In view of sttch exhibitions of barbaric hate? The International Commission of Hus bandry, representing six European coun tries, has just adopted a bimetallic res olution calling for a bimetallic International convention. Farmers all over the civilized world are opposed to the danger ous and oppressive gold standard.

The Republican convention had a gold- bug for temporary chairman and another goldbug for chairman. It Is clear that the chairman and the temporary chairman of the Democratic convention should be free silver men. The two young alligators that came down in Kirkwood with the rain have doubtless left some Westerr home deso late. There are many r.iligator pets in the country.

As Boss Filley has always been for reform, in elections, the imprisoned School Board can afford to suffer for a short time in that good cauSe. A rapid growth of silver sentiment in the State of New York is reported. In fact, silver sentiment is growing everywhere.

If a Democratic candidate cannot be elected without the vote of New York, it is time not to elect a Democratic candidate.

Mr. McKinley is 53, but he may be much older before he is President. Honest Dick will need neither a Hanna nor a Grosvenor.

The Lynching Plank. From the Washington Post. There were lynchings In ''Ohio when Mr. MeKinley was Governor. In every State of the old Northwest and in all the trans-Mis sissippi States lynchings have occurred.

The anti-lynching plank is national, not sec tional. And it is of very little importance anyway, because the national government does not make nor enforce the criminal laws of the States. Ohio and Texas and other States can go on with their lynchings, if so inclined, without dread of national Inter ference. A Belated Acknowledgment. From the Springfield (111.)

The suggestion to have Grand Juries investigate only important delinquencies, charges against public officers, and mat ters connected with the public institutions, leaving minor cases to be passed upon by the Criminal Courts, is a good one. The Grand Jury system ought to be relieved from the mass of work that has gradually been laid upon it, and Grand Jurors allowed to devote their time and effort to exposing public wrongs.

Ex-Congressman John; A. McMahon of Ohio has a just sense of political propriety. The gold standard men control the left-over Ohio State Democratic Commit tee, and they selected Mr. McMahon, an ardent gold standard champion, for temporary chairman of to-morrow's conven tion. Mr.

McMahon peremptorily de clined the proffered honor, and In declin-ing Informed the State Committee that In his opinion it should select as temporary chairman a man in accord with the dom inant sentiment of the convention. A few emphatic lessons will teach even Admin lstration Democrats that in the Demo cratic party the majority has some rights which the minority is bound to respect nam COMMITTEEMEN. The Post-Dispatch is informed that sev eral members of the Missouri delegation Phtfinn nrA Brtlif.it lire tbe vntAs their fellow delegates for the various positions on the convention committees. "We earnestly hope that the members of delegation will refrain from committing themselves on this vitally im portant matter. Some of the most import ant work to be done by the Chicago con vention must be done in the committees.

Missouri, which has taken the lead in the fight for free silver, will be properly looKea to ior leaaersnip in an mese mat ters. The ablest, most experienced most influential men on the delegation should be placed on these committees. For Instance, Senator Cockrell vouli make a most useful and valuable member the Committee on Credentials. Before this commVtee will come some of the most difficult ruestions that will confront the convention such as the capture of the Michigan delegation by the gold men, the contesting delegations from Nebraska and ssoutn uakota, tne rump primaries held in Chicago, 9nd the like. Senator Cockrell's judicial temper and well known thoroughness in investigation would make him an influential member of that committee.

To Senator Vest has been confided the Important task of placing Mr. Bland in nomination. Gov. Stone is obviously the best fitted man in the delegation for the Platform Committee. In that committee will be fought out the hardest contest in the convention, and Missouri should be rep resented upon it by a man who has the ability to take a decisive part- Here particularly the other delegations will look to Missouri for leadership.

The man who is in all respects exactly adapted for the place is Gov. Stone. Another important committee at Chicago will be the Committee on Rules and Order of Business. Before this committee will come the question whether or not the two-thirds rule shall be maintained or suspended. A strong, deterrn-inea and capable man like Col.

Benton should represent Missouri ore that committee. This is a time when the States must put forward their ablest and strongest men. It is to be a batti of Titans. Success or failure at the convention and in the campaign afte ards will depend upon the right selections. PRICES STILL FALLING.

The day after the "Wall Street party adopted its gold standard platform, prices of the great staple products began to fall. Wheat, corn and oats ruled lower, and the provision market fell in- sympathy with the grain market. Stock and scrip of the trusts, railway shares, and bonds all the values manip ulated by the speculators, and that have the weight of gold behind them rather than actual material wealth, rose In sympathy with the boost given to gold. The bubble of speculation swelled," while the value of the farmer's products dimin ished. This process continues.

Yesterday the grain market here showed an almost com plete collapse, and the same conditions prevailed at Chicago. American wheat fell in the Liverpool market, and no en couragement was visible at any points from which reports are received. The stock and bond market, of course, shows no such decline. It may fall here and there. Certain stocks may be temporarily depressed, under the influence of the "bear," or by secret manioula- tlons for the benefit of the "lambs," but it is a foregone conclusion that this class of securities will go up as gold appreciates on account of the gold standard triumph in the Republican convention.

The New York bond sales were heany and at stiff prices. Railroad, government. State and municipal bnds, representing gold, are strong and steady, while the value of the products and material wealth they represent is falling. The only relief from this state of affairs is In honest bimetallism. The people must pronounce at Chicago against a policy that means ruirr to the producers and higher profits to the bondholders.

ANOTHER NEW BOSS. The recent St. Louis convention saw the dethronement of several bosses, but it witnessed the coronation of some new ones. One of these was John R. Tanner of Illinois, Mr.

Tanner was boss before the convention met, but the final ceremony of his an 'nting was in the election of T. N. Jamieson as the Illinois member of the National Committee. Jamlson has been one of the most em cient instruments in building up the Tanner machine in Illinois. When Tanner resigned the chairmanship of the State Committee he put Jamieson in his place.

ble for any opinions or statement of facts la these letters. It la a free parliament-) Bland and Teller. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The Republican party has declared for gold and Senator Teller and his associates have bolted. There is some talk of putting up Teller as an independent candidate.

Such a proceeding would be very unfortunate. It would divide the silver forces and let the gold forces win. Let Teller and Bland go before the Democratic convention at Chicago and let the convention choose one of them for President and -the other for Vice-Presi dent. This ticket would be invincible. It would carry every State west of the M.sss- sirjol and south of the Ohio.

Florida. Iowa, Minnesota and possibly Kentucky excepted. With one of these men in the presidential chair, ready to sign silver legislation, and the other President of the silver Sena'je, the srold Deoole would have a hard time.

Whatever we may think of the Republican party there ia at least one thing that speaks in Its favor It always keeps ita promises. Whenever It says that John SmitH should have the exclusive privilege of legally robbing Sam Jones It not only sees that Smith lives up to his end of the bargain, but It throws in a dozen or so roasted ducks by wav of encouragement.

There should l.e hesitation about pushing the fight against unsanitary dairies, under the new milk inspection ordinance. The dairymen have had plenty of notice to clean up and comply with the law. If they have not done so, it is simply because they care nothing for cleanliness and public health. They are in business simply for profit, although the ignoring of other considerations may mean sickness and death to their customers. The Health Department has made a Rood beginning in trying to bring several of these people to a sense of duty.

They should be given a reasonable time to comply with the law, and then- the penalty enould be enforced against them. This should be done as often as may be neces sary to drive those out of the business who persistently refuse to flo what the law requires. The fact is, some of these dairies are so situated and constructed, and are so old I 1 mm uuapmaiea, mat tneir owners are aware that no amount of patching and cleaning up cart make them sanitary. i ney are aown in nonows, witnout cow lots," with, ruined buildings and unclean surroundings. The sooner they are abol ished the better.

The public ought not to be made to suffer because it is impossible to maintain dairies properly under such circumstances.
