IIAMiMR CLEWS’ VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook an Seen From
Wall Street.
X w* T >r’<, March 2.—The reopening of
an international discussion of the silver
question, suggested by the recent utter
ances In the British parliament and In the
German Reichstag. Is a hopeful symptom.
It is an evidence of the growth of senti
ment in favor of the double standard
among the influential commercial ele
ment in England and the landowners and
farmers of Germany. The government
of both nations seem to be more disposed
to respect public opinion on this question
than they were on the occasion of the
conference of 181*2, and the official utter
ances in the parliaments of both countries
suggests a strong probability that tho
whole problem may be reviewed in the
light of later experience. To this country
nothing could be more welcome than the
revival of a chance for the settlement of
this disturbing problem. It is a signifl
cant fact that, in the case ot this sug
gested conference, the Initiation comes
from tiie tw’o nations that were most op
posed to uny definite action at the gath
ering of 1892. Later experience has evi
dently not been lost upon them, and the
prospect of their more cordial co-operation
towards a settlement of this problem is a
new ? ray of promise on the horizon. Tho
international basis of settlement is the
only one that can afford this country any
relief from the embarrassments that sur
round this vexatious issue. Standing alone
the United States could undertake free
coinage only with the sure result of being
driven into silver mono-metallism, but, in
union with the leading European nations,
the experiment could be surrounded by
no such risks.
The cessation of political turmoil for the
next eighteen months will be an Invaluable
contribution towards the restoration of
business. For it so happens that poli
tics are now occupied with business ques
tions of an exceptionally important and
delicate nature, and which go to the root
of confidence in nearly all Interests. When
business is not In a vigorous condition, it
is especially sensitive to the discussions
and proposals that come up in the treat
ment of such questions, and the un
certainties thereby created afford ready
excuses for the postponement of buslnes
operations. How this sort of Interruption
operates is shown by the fact that, for
many months past, the business man’s
first question of every morning has been—
"what was done yesterday at Washing
ton ?’’ Thank heaven! that sickening re
iteration will cease next Monday; and
henceforth the first question will be, —
what Is the price of w'heat, or cotton, or
stocks? That will mean much more for
the recovery of business than is now im
agined.
Taking Care of Hiss Gould.
New York Letter in Chicago Times.
One newspaper is publishing a daily
diary of Anna Gould’s waking hours. It
has also published a section of her .left
limb showing a slipper with a diamond
buckle. Then the engraver lifted the drap
ery a bit and disclosed the Castellane
arms on the top of Anna s stocking. Not
satisfied with this he disrobed the eom-
I ing countess and preedited her in corsets,
winding his picture gallery with a bath
robe. Tills sufficiently shows to what ex
tent some newspapers here go to cater to
a curious constituency and rake in a few
extra pennies. If Anna escapes being
shown as a living picture In some of the
Illustrated prints she's a lucky bride.
Bobbing tlie Government.
From the Chicago Record.
Very few people were surprised at the
acquittal of Capt. Howgate. It is a long
time since any person was convicted in
the courts of the District of Columbia of
robbing the government. Some years ago
a man of the name of Ottman, who kept
a saloon on Pennsylvania avenue, after he
was acquitted of participation In the Hal
leck robbery in the treasury, brought a
suit to recover the money which was
found In his possession by the police offi
cers who arrested him. although the very
bills were identified as part of those stolen
by Halleck and left with him as a “fence.”
Dolly Mntllson nt the White House.
James Madison and his wife were fa
mouse for their general hospitality, and it
was extended to the president's bitterest
political opponents. Dinner parties were
given every week, and the beauty and
fashion of the country met in the presi
dential drawing room. Mr. Madison pos
sessed the old school elegance of manners
to a remarkable degree, and among his
Intimate friends was humorous and en
tertaining. His wife. ''Dolly,” has like
wise been portrayed by history as one of
the most charming of the hostesses who
have graced the white house.

From the Boston Herald.
The notion that facility in the use of

the statement that Mr. Charles A. Dana
has taken up the study of Russian, be
gun during his vlst to Rusisa last year.
He has a tutor, and has become so fasci
nated with the language that he gives
il such time, as he can spare from his
other duties.
