P. V. Lyons. Local Forecast Official. The Republican 70-Cent Dollar.

New York World. An extraordinarily stupid or ordinarily dishonest Republican organ announces that tie Republican men will today "place their party on record against the 70-cent dollar." Against it. Why, the Republican administration is issuing, by virtue of a Republican law. more than a year of paper note, redeemable in dollars. Under a Republican law the market is made lor the entire silver product of the a favor extended to no other American production.

And under this law both the of silver and the value of the silver have steadily depreciated. Yet 'the fools and the Pharisees of this party join in professions of hostility to the "70-cent It recalls the aspira-. I lion of the indignant versifier: Oh for a forty-parson power To chant thy praise. Hypocrisy I THE VOTE FOX COXSIDERA- There has been so persistent a clamor raised by the Republican papers over the Democratic responsibility for the introduction of the. Bland bill for consideration that the Globe has felt that a careful analysis of the vote was desired.

A study figures is never attractive yet this investigation presents some interesting phases worthy of the consideration of those who assume that the free coinage ot silver is exclusively a Democratic measure- Without wishing to avoid that responsibility for every measure which attaches to the party in control of the house, the Globe feels that the fact should be made clear that this question is not a partisan one. One hundred and thirty(iii. Democrats, or 55 per cent of their number, voted for the bill, and 69, or 29 per cent, voted against it, 39 not voting. Fifty-two Republicans, or 60 per cent, Toted for the bill, and 10, or 18 per cent, against it, while 17 did not vote. On the basis of percentages, which is more representative than one of numbers, this analysis shows that a greater per cent of Republicans favored the consideration, while, as between the two parties, the larger percentage of Democrats were opposed.

But when the Northern states are grouped the non-partisan nature of the vote is more clearly shown. In the New England states 85 per cent of the Democrats voted no; none voted yes; 42 per cent of the Republicans voted yes and 25 per cent no. In the central group, comprising New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio, 14 per cent of the Democrats voted yes, 50 per cent voted no, while 2G per cent of the Republicans voted yes and 27 per cent voted no. In what may be called the west center group, embracing Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, lowa and the two Dakotas. 50 per cent of the Democrats voted for and 31 per cent against, while 91 per cent of the Republicans voted for and 4 per cent voted against consideration.

The Pacific states and the mountain mining states gave 100 per cent of their Democratic votes and 91 per cent of their Republican votes for consideration, with none against it. Had the fifty-two Republicans whoj voted for the bill opposed it, the vote would have stood 138 for to 137 against it. With this showing it will hardly do for Republicans to make answer. "I am not my brother's keeper." NOT SO CERTAIN. The actiou of the Republicans in caucus in the lowa house resolving to stand by prohibition, leaves doubt as to the correctness of the prevalent impression that the bill which has passed the senate will become a law.

It has been assumed, even by leading Republican papers, that enough Republicans would vote for it to pass the bill. The same proportion as in the senate would be sufficient The Republican leaders would be glad to have the bill pass if it can be done without disaffecting the prohibition element of the party; but the Democrats in the house are short of the constitutional majority four or five votes, and the Republicans must furnish them, or they cannot get rid of the A license bill Saturday had but one majority against it, but the vote was not full. The committee that has the senate bill in charge has a majority of Republicans, but it is promised that the measure shall be reported and a direct vote had upon it. This is favorable for its passage, but not conclusive. It is not material to the Democrats whether the Republicans vote it down or not.

They will redeem their pledges to the people. Prohibition is a load that has been fracturing the Republican back for a good while. The full break may come later, if it is and the Democrats possess the legislature, as well as the with United States senator in sight. CL-EVKIiAND'S I.KTTER. Grovkr Cr.EVKr.AXP will take the nomination if it is offered to him, but he will uot seek it after the fashion of the little men who strive lo make up by craft what they lack.in character and ability.

GROVKH Cleveland will not only take the presidential nomination if it is offered to liim, but, unless all indications speak falsely, a great wave of popular enthusiasm will stampede the Chicago convention in bis favor. The delegation from every Northern state, with only here and there an exception, will go to Chicago loyal to his cause. They will be composed of men of fore; and brain, riot to be downed by a threatening mob of professional politicians. They, will be inspired a spirit of devotion to the "most heroic figure of modern public life, and no considerations of expediency, no appeals to their fears, no suggestions of caution will avail to check their deepborn purpose. The Democracy must and shall stand before the country as the party of honest money, tariff reform and economy in governmental expenditures.

To insure this its standard bearer must and shall be a man who represents in his own person these irreat If any dissent, let them leave the ranks and go to their own. There is room enough in the society of Ignatius and Jerry for the financial heretics, the revolutionists and the socialists of the country. The Democracy asks the support of none but those who believe heart and soul in the principles it was founded to advance. With their assistance it may win or it may be worsted, but in either event its honor will ba unsullied. It is more glorious to die lighting for a noble cause under a noble leader than to taste the fruits of victories won through shamelessiiess and disloyalty to the truth.

PiSKK'S I-KCTURE. Prof. Fiskf. begins his lecture course in St. Paul tonight with a discttssiod of the work of ALEXANDER Hamilton.

People who have read whatever has been written on this subject, and know all about it, had better attend and refresh their memories. People who have never heard of Ali.xanoi_i. Hamilton had better attend and learn something. Lectures of this sort serve either one of two purposes: They are valuable by way cf review to the learned. To the ignorant they are suggestive and inspiring.

If will be well for everybody who goes to have read in advance some scientific account of Hamilton's career, such as he will find in Lodge's or any other popular biography. But, if lie has not done so, after he has heard the lecture, he can confirm the impressions he carries away by consulting the standard authorities, lv any event, he will be a better man and a truer patriot by taking advantage of this opportunity. As our familiarity with our national history increases, our iove for our institutions and the men who made them will grow. The Globe preaches the gospel of hopefulness, of enthusiasm, ot cheerfulness. It believes that America lias an immortal destiny for.

the advancement of humanity, and it wants its readers to know about the past because it feels that they will then more thoroughly sympathize with its confidence as to future. Prof. Fiske will fill them with great thoughts, as he speaks on, an theme in. behalf of a good A crowded house should greet him. GOOD liUC'tt TO NEWS; The St.

Paul Daily News, tunneled by strangers, nurtured into vitality by that veteran newspaper man and foremost citizen, Harlan P. Hall, started last night on a new career under a brand new management, in an enlarged form, and a bright, fresh garb. The Globe likes to see people wear good clothes, because it is an evidence of prosperity and correct taste, and it wishes its evening contemporary a successful and useful career. There is room in St. Paul for a good evening newspaper which will make a specialty of matters of local importance.

The morning journals have the tidings of the whole wide world to spread before their readers, and the interesting adventures of tlieir friends and neighbors at home are often crowded out or unduly coudensed because space fails for their proper presentation. The News has the advantage of an attractive personal appearance and a strong staff of experienced workers. If it will with tlie'r help present day by day the thousand and one happenings, briefly.brightly, cheerfully, with a kindly spirit, in good English, not carpingly, not striving to pull down but to build up, sparing the erring, encouraging the not stirring up stale scandals, laughing at men's foibles rather than weeping over it will find it has a sphere, as valuable as it will he profitable. Good luck to the News. Among the attractions probable at the world's fair are several specimens of old world King Oscar of Sweden has intimated that he will come, and it the erratic German emperor holds himself together so long, and he is not busy pulverizing any of his neighbors, he will be as likely to strike out for Chicago as anywhere.

He may want to try the bichloride regimen by that time. The Republicans in the house are nearly all opposed to the free coinage of silver, but they are very anxious to have the Democrats pass it in that body. If necessary to effect this, they will furnish votes for it. They have the conceit that it will put the Democrats in a hole for the campaign. The Republicans in North Dakota are considering whether they had not better submit to the people the question of voting prohibition out of the constitution.

The friends of the provision will make trouble for the party if they expose it again to the cool breezes about the ballot box. The opposition to the president is settling down to "anybody to beat Harrison." That was the idea in Grant's last epoch, "anything to beat Grant." But as that was a third-term affair, Ben may think it. does not furnish a precedent, if it did win. A bill to prohibit the sale of liquors in the District of Columbia is before a seriate committee, but iit will riot become a law. The presiding officer of the senate might find personal reflection in it Senator Sherman thinks his brother, the general, shortened his life by being out at nights and keeping irregular hours.

Others have suffered from the same cause. Woman suffrage has been thrown out of the lowa legislature without: the usual courtesy of a close vote. The lawmakers regard it as a chestnut. THE FAINT PAUL VATLY GLOBE: TUESDAY MORNING. 15, JSO2 SUNRISE SIGNALS.

March 1n an open letter to the Democratic party of the United States, printed in an afternoon paper, int." the shape of an interwiew, Thomas F. Bayard draws a vivid picture of the evils he believes would follow the passage of free silver bill.

Among other things he says: "A cheaper dollar means a poorer dollar, and the poorer the dollar the poorer its owner must be. Let this thought be borne in mind when the immense aggregate of wages of labor is assailed by any policy that would make a silver dollar or a paper dollar of less worth of purchasing power than a gold While, as a Democrat, I may and do derive some satisfaction from the fact that the responsibility- for. such grave errors and consequent injury to the country cannot be laid "at the door of party. and, on the "7 contrary, have been strongly disapproved the only Democratic administration of the past thirty years, vet in the progress of events 1 find even that negative satisfaction rapidly giving way to a feeling of little, less than consternation, which I perceive in the present congress and elsewhere, such indications of a disposition oil the part of Democrats professing to represent their constituents, and to accept exchange, intensify and continue these te.rible/ mistakes of their party opponents, and this, too, just at the moment when the public minds seem to have -been slowly awakened to the exposed and admitted dangers of such a course of action. .1 cannot sufficiently express my amazement and sorrow to see men of tne Democratic party now hastening to adopt those dangerous fallacies, and clothing their party, with such cast-off, diseased and fatal garments, and to impede its march to power and usefulness by such balls and chains.

If it means shrewd and cunning finesse, the strategy of concealed motive, I can only say it is playing with fire, and is treating a question of the gravest public importance in an unworthy manner, but if the votes mean what they say on their printed face then 1 say the hour has struck for the Demcratic masses to arouse themselves and examine their individual consciences and sense of duty to the country, and to realize that "the will, of the people is the supreme law," is the rallying cry of true Democracy G. 8., TV.

FIFTH WARD IN LINE. An Auditorium favored on the Market House Site. Opinions of men will differ as Ion? as the world stands, but the majority opinion is the one which should always prevail, and can certainly be taken as an evidence of the prevailing sentiment of the constituency which surrounds that majority. Last evening, at the meeting of the subscription committee of Fifth Ward union the subjoined resolutions were handed in as a test of the feeling tor or against building the auditorium on the present market house site. These resolutions request that they be sent by the secretary to the council, and as the board of aldermen meet this evening to vote on this question, it was too late to bring them up before the entire union, which meets only the first Monday in each month, so a vote of the committee was taken and the result was overwhelmingly in their avor.

resulting in over 4 to construct on the present Market house The committee of course have no authority to speak for the whole union, but if the above vote is a fair sample of the feel of the ward there can be no doubt that the citizens favor the plan now before the board of aldermen, and as the members of that committee-are from every section of the ward and represent its different interests, it can be accepted as a pietty good reflection of the sentiment. The resolutions read as follows: Whereas, In the judgment of the citizens and taxpayers ot the city of St Paul, the best interests of the city will be conserved by the early erection of a large public auditorium capable of accommodating national conventions, mass meetings, Way festivals and state gatherings, etc. therefore he it ltesolved. By the subscription committee of the Fifth Ward Citizens' union, that the city council be earnestly requested to proceed to the proposed remodelling of the market house for the purpose, the same to provide a seating capacity of at least 8,000 people: and Resolved further. That we urge our representative on the board of aldermen to use bis influence to secure the passage of the pending assembly tile authorizing the special joint committee on auditorium to take immediate steps in the matter.

ltesolved. That the secretary of the Fifth Ward Citizens' uniou report these resolutions to the city council. TH HE MINUTE CUT. Faster Time Card For West Sev- enth Street Cant- Yesterday morning the West Seventh and Mississippi street electric line started out to run on faster time, and the change was noticeable to a marked degree, and was highly appreciated by the traveling public. Heretofore tho time between cars has been ten minutes, and sometimes twelve.

Hereafter they are to run seven minutes apart. According to the now time card the distance from the corner of Eighth and Wabasha to the short line crossing is to be made in ten minutes. This is fully three-quarters of a mile, and along a stretch where there is considerable trallic on and off the cars, but conductors Interviewed yesterday stated they could make it, except probably between 5:30 and 0:30 p. This line is one of the longest in the city, reaching from Fort Shelling to the extreme northeast of the city, and is probably the best patronized. Another method adopted to save time is the stationing at each end of an expert mo toueer, who jumps the motor as stain as it reaches the terminus and inspects it, making any changes necessary, while the regular motor man transfers gates and tends to other duties, thus saving from live to ten minutes more at each end of the line.
