EDITORIAL OPINIONS.
Whether Lincoln offered peace
upon the basis of ‘’the Union”
with any condition the Confed¬
erate commissioners saw fit to
impose, or not, amounto to noth¬
ing now. The act is JO years in
the past.
We thank the Covington Star
for its compliments on our mon¬
ey article of last week. Like
our contemporary, we see no ne¬
cessity for a division on this
question, and we go further and
say we do not believe there is
really any difference of opinion
when men come to understand
each other. We know a jour
nal whose editor lias been, and
is still a staunch Cleveland man,
insinuating always that those
who are not for Cleveland and
his monied ideas are not Demo¬
cratic. Last week this paperex
pressed its true opinion of the
coinage of silver and gold, and
it comes out in favor of bimetal
ism—equal coinage of both met¬
als—just as we believe every
body else who has an opinion
will do.
The Atlanta Journal argues
that the Constitutiou is a silver
inouometalist, and the Constitu¬
tion makes the Journal a gold
monometalist. This is about the
way all the opposing journals
discuss the subject. W e believe
that everybody in this country
is opposed to uionoiuetalism. If
we understand it, we think the
Constitution wants the free coin¬
age of silver, and that silver to
he worth its much in maiket as
gold; and that the Journal
wants birnotalisrn, which
amounts to about the same
thing. If, however, the Consti¬
tution wants only one metal,
and that to be silver, and the
Journal wants only gold, then
both are off the track. We want
gold and silver on a parity.
HOW OUR CONGRESSMEN V0
TED.
As the silver question is now
getting to be the all-absorbing
theme, it may be interesting to
know how our congressmen vo
ted on the repeal of th$ Sher¬
man purchasing clause, when it
was up before congress in 1893.
Of course there were a num¬
ber of votes upon the different
ratios, but the following was the
vote on the unconditional re
p ea l ;
For repeal Lester, Bussell,
Uabamss, Lawson, Black, 1 ur
lier. Total 6. Against repeal—

way calls on the public to help
this “poor” woman, that she
may have the comforts of life.
Send her articles freight prepaid,
unless you sena a brick, this she
would pay the freight on, think¬

Bill suggests that if you send a
coffee mill let it be one to be
held in the lap, for she has no
where to hang. Send her some¬
thing, if nothing but a cat, and
if you have none alive, send a
dead one. She is in great need.
