Was hington Letter.
Washington. March 29. There may be absolutely nothing stories of President Cleveland’s intention to run for the Presidency again on a free trade, gold standard platform; but the semi-official announcement that he would not appoint the three Presidential Commissioners nor commission the six Congressional commissioners to the proposed international monetary conference has given those stories a fresh start and set a lot of people to thinking. The os tensible reason for this ncn-ac tion on the part of President Cleveland is that the conference which will be held, if any is. will not be of the sort which Con i gress authorized the Unitedl States commissioners to take part in, but the opinion is openly expressed that his real reason : is his opposition to silver. He knows th at s hou l'd h e co mpie t e the commission, as contemplated by Congress, it would necessari ly bo controlled by silver men. even should he select three gold
men to represent him; and he does not desire that the United States should appear at any in ternational conference as the champion of silver. There are good reasons for belief that. 1 ad the appointment of the commiss ioners been ft left with the President the objection now raised would never have been heard. But the commission would have been controlled by the gold men had Mr. Cleveland named the commissioners. There is some talk about the three senators and three representatives named b;congress as commissioners go ing to the conference, if one i held, in spite of President Cieve J;;,nd. - (’• nrress a’lor-‘in-iat \. BjO ', - vyi | 0 p c r ex p inses and they could, of course, go if they desired, but there is no probability that they would be recognized as delegates to the conference, unless they carried com iijssions signed by the Prtsiden; of.the United States. Secretary Gresham is not th< first man to discover that fool-
friends are much worse than ene mies. While his enemies have been openly criticizing him foi allowing his personal dislike of Minister Thurston to cause him to demand that he be recalled b;. the government of Hawaii, hi.-fool-friends have been doing him much more harm by circulating a story to the effect that if Mr Thurston should attempt to re main in Washington after hi.successor shall have been ap pointed Secretary Greshaii would deport him by force, jus as Chinese laborers who came in to the United States illegally are reported, as an objectionable character. And the reason giv eu by these fool friends of Sec retary Gresham is worse than silly. They say that Mr. Thurs ton by reason of his extensive acquaintance and influence with congressmen might be able lo get Hawaiian legislation through Congress which might be objectionable to the administration. Just think of that! One citizen of insignificant Hawaii mow powerful with congress—in the eyes of friends pf the administration—than theadministra- io . Certainly the fool killer m ;t . > taking a rest. Meanwhil ister Thurston has started , ■■ without waiting for his re I The application of E . u. Dribsand his associates tu th U. S. Supreme Court for a writ Ox habeas corpus, the ground that they are unconstitutionally imprisioned, was argued this week. Attorney General Olney speaking against the motion, and Mr. C. S. Darrow, oj Chicago, for it. It is expected’' that it will be several weeks before a decision is ha i led down in this case, which will probably furnish a precedent for some years after it is made, unless the court shall be nearly evenly divided upon it. Attorney General Olney gave a dinner to the counsel engaged in the case. The guests were Ex Senator Lyman Trumbull. C. S. Darrow, and S. S. Gregory, of Debs' council; Edwin H. Walker and Assistant Attorney General Whitney, of the government counsel. Chief Justice Fuller an 1 wife and Secretary Lamont and wife. The atmosphere around the Department of State is decidedly less jmgo’istic than it has been. None of the diplomatic tangles have been straightened out, bui they all probably will be in time without calling for volunteers to goto war. Spain has been heard from, in an expla atory, if not an apologetic, tone. The most trouolesome questions now are the real intentions of England towards Nicaragua and Venezuela. If threats which have been made were carried out the Monroe doctrine would .be violated

Land in Jasper county has advanced from 35 to 40 per cent. I Grover Cleveland was elected I the last time. Will the Repubj licans please show us how this i difference of prices can be ati tributed to either high or low : tariff, and Will it tell why prices decline so under protection.

A Wonderful Prophecy.
“Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold there stood before the river a ram which had two horns; butone was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. I saw the ram pushing westward; so -that n<ueast might stand before him. neither was there any that could deliver out of his hands; but hc did according to his will, and be ome great. And as I was considering, behold, a he goat came from the weston the fa -e of I lie whole earth, and the goat had a notable l orn between his eyes, and he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seei standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his }tower. And 1 saw him comt close unto the ram. and he was moved with cholor against him. and smote the ram that had two horns, and there was no power in the ram to stand before him. but he cast him down to the
ground, and stamped upon him; and there was none tint could 'deliver the rani out of his l hands.’’ The ram is the Rothchildcs, the Iwo horns Wall ' Street and Lombard street, and the goat is the labor of America. This is found in the Bth clmpter tof tlie prophecy of Daniel, from the third to the seventh verses.
