Since the Senate and He lae ap

pointed 6 majority of delegates
to thd Intematiotitl Monetary
conference, favorable ta tfilver,
Mr. Clsveland teems inclined to
throw cold water on the confer

doubts the legality of the resolu
tion pasted to appoint these dele
gates, and the legality cf his pew
sr, ander the resolution, to oom
tnistion them. Mr. C Ist* land .is
in a hole on this matter and must
come up or back down The res

The constitutionality of the
income tax act has been argued
before the Supreme court of the
U. 5., and the decision is held
up., It is reported that the court
is evenly divided on the question.
The decision wll probably be
handed down Monday.A great dea j
depends on this decisi n If it is
decided to be unconstitutional,
then there will be a large deficien
cy, and it will require the calling
together of Cougrees in extra
session to meet it. If it stands,
then all will be lovely, and no
Congress on baud. We hope it
will stand the teal, as this aot
places the burden where it be
longs.

Hou. David W. Meadow, repre
rcßeutatire from Madison county,
is in the city attending the United
States court.
“There is but one sentiment on
the currency question in
Madison county.” said Mr. Mead
ow, “and that is in favor of the
return to tha old system in which
the use of both ilver and gold was
good enough for our people. We
want tha dollar of our daddies and
plenty of them. want the re
turn to the condition existing prior
to 1878, and our people will never
he satisfied with anything else.
We are opposed to waiting for the
consenl of England or any other
nation before we settle our curren
cy O' Cstion, because it is too early
in the history of our country to be
waiting to ask for the consent o #
England or any other nation to do
anything. People gH what they
want in this world by asking for it,
and, if necessary, by fighting for
it, and the way to bring about the
restoration of silver is to fight et
the ballot box from now until it is
re-established. If we wait for tha
consent Cf England we will never
get it. Let us do what we think
is right and let England take care
of herself. The Constitution is
doing splendid work behalf of the
people, and sentiment in my sec
tion of the state is unanimous in
sustaining it.”
