I, Tho Votes on the Silver Dill.
l jt Tho declslvo majorities by which tho
, Houso of Iteprcsontatlves retusod on Thurs-
? 1 day either to suspend tho preseut restricted
; I coinage of silver or to substitute for It tho
' j unlimited colnago of that metal, may bo re-
j garded as disposing of tho subject during
,.i tho oxistenco of this Congress. Tho country
. will remain under tho dominion of tho gold
! standard, and will boaflllcted with all tho
i t evils which that standard produces, until a
j' now Houso of Itoprcsentnth es is elected.
'j An analysis of Thursday's votes shows
j " j that notwithstanding tho appaient defeat of
j the cause of silver, a real gain has been
; f mado for It. Thlrtcon mouths ago tho voto
of the House to continuo stiver colnago was
I only 152 to 118. On Thursday tho voto was
I . 201 to 81. In addition, 120 votes wero cast
for free coinage, pure and simple, which is
' .1 " - uu uutliuly umv position, ana uuu ku; iu
I' I ; advance ot tliat hlthoi to taken by tho silver
f ' men. So far, therefore, from the discussion
I of tho subject having weakened the silver
I - party, it has increased their number in the
j Houso from 152 to 201, and has diminished
j ' that of their opponents fiom 118 to 81.
j Tho soctlonal character of tho issue is also
! 1 brought out very clearly by Thursday's
I J votes. Of tho 84 Bopreeoutatlves who do
, ; j Clarod against tho contlnuanco of silver coin
' ago, 79 come from Now England, Now York,
' i New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland ;
while ot tho 120 who supported froe and un-
limited coinage, all but two corao from the
j Western, Southern, and Southwestern States.
'I 8 tie, therefore, a solid array ot tho richer
j j I and older Eastorn States against tho nowcr
f! and poorer part of tho country.
' nj Tho question will probably enter to somo
! 1 1 extent Into tho elections for now Bepresonta
f3 Uvea to bo held next autumn; and If tho sup
' t porters of freo coinage should bo Increased
IJI In tho next Houso as much as thoso of re
ft J itrletod coinago havo increased in tho pros
; 1 1 ent House, the mcasuro will bo tolorably ccr

I1 Our ostoemod contemporary, tho Xew York
Herald, has ot lato occasionally manifested
a feeling ot ardent hostility to President
OlbvbxiAMd; and now it has published in a
most conspicuous manner a lottor from
Washington, In which tho proposition Is
.,, . elaborately maintained that Mr. Cleve-
' jj IiANt " whllo an entiroly honest man with
;, only tho best Intentions, bos devolopod
' j an amazing Incapacity; that he seems to bo
' Intellectually uuablo to comprehend tho
! utles and rosponslbllltlos of his placo; that
I bo has nover reached oven a dim perception
of the political situation of tho country; and
I that bis theory of tho Presidential office is
j fatal togood government, bocnusoltmakeaof
I the President a rooro dispenser of patronage,
and debases politics to the lowest plane."
i These aro tho general charges, and tho
ipeclflcatlons and averments that support
1 . then aro set out with considerable energy,
, and with'' quotations carefully selected from
various writers and speakors In Congress
I . and out. One of these is described as an
' Inlnentlal Democratic Senator who ocea-
alanally defonds tho President In tho
j -i Bo&ate, but who remarked privately the
I j ' tker day that "Cleveland had not
, tnQaenoe enough with Congress to
ehasa an old hen off her nost." Another
t U Gen. Wbavbb of Iowa, a Greenback Dom
j 1 ooratlo member of tho Houso, who, In a ro-
; eeut speech, said that " there la no policy
j here In either party, no purpose, nothing but
j i death and disintegration," all due, as wo are
I f given to understand, to tho absenco of that
I S ' leadership which ought to be exorcised by a
I i Fnwidont at least ovor his own party; and
I o on to the end ot the chapter. Front all of
I . which the conclusion is drawn ta tho Jltrqhl
I I that "tha labor organizations aio going to
I I tiaxwc potent Influence In tho fall elections,
I I and may make hash of both parties."
I Wbllo we suppose there is some exoggera-
I E tlon in tho stato'nwnU of the Herald, thoy
I y ait) too much supported by similar allega-
I 8 Uona in other quarters to bo entirely deeti-
j tuto ot truth. There can bo no doubt that
the Democrats in WasblngUm and elsewhere
ariKvnerollydiappointed iu Mr.CixvBiiAMD.
' Ho dues not prove to be the kind ot Presi
dent that they expected; and, while
wo think tbelr oomplalnts ot him aro
exceedingly unjust, because their expecta
tions woio baseless and without sup
port In reasou or In reality, it Is Impossible
to dispute the fucts as they aro. He Is not a
political leader. Ha boa no powor whatever
In tllreotiujr tho course of hla party. Ho has
no Idea of OTgantrlng, Inspiring, extending,
defending, and bidlsllng up tha Democracy; I
L.
and, so far oa ho Is concorncd, he will never
accept or undertake tho function which tho
vast majority ot Democrat belloved he was
occoptlng when he received their nomina
tion to tho Prosldoncy. It Is no longer pos
sible ovon for tho most sangutno and
trusting Doinocrat to entertain any Illu
sion on this subject. Mr. CixvEliAND as
Prosldont Is a perfectly honest, firm, upright,
truthful man, but narrow, solf-confldent,
careless and uncomprehending as to tho ideas
and hopes of tho Democracy, and entirely un
ablo to concclvo of thoso largo measures and
Inspiring Issues which great statesmen and
great political leaders will always furnish.
But whon tho Herald goos on from thoso
evident and Indlsputablo faota to prodlct tho
disintegration and tho ovorthrow of the
Dcmooracy, it draws an lufcrouco which his
tory will not Justify. Tho Doraocratlo party
has again aud again boon overtaken by
groator misfortunes and disappointments
than thoso In which it Is now Involved, and It
has corao out alive, Intact, and light sldo up
cvory time. Tho reason for this is that
it is preeminently tho party of principle;
Indeed, It Is tho only such party that
now ovists. Its principles form tho vitality
ot tho Constitution and of tho republic, and
so long as thoso live, so long It will II vo;
and so long as thoso survlvo ovory dlsastor,
so long it will remain hopeful, erect, reso
lute, unbroken aftor defeat and confident In
tho future Presidents may lamentably fail,
Congresses may provo impotent or injurious,
measures that are long elaborated may result
In dlsastor, but tho Domociaoycan never die.
."tlnnsiii nnd Gcroiilmoa
At laut wo begin to got light upon tho re
sult of tho winters campaign on tho South
western frontier. It Is tersely summed up
In Gen. CnooK'u telegiam to Gen. Sheridan,
that ho has started bovonty-scven captlvo
Apaches, Including wnirlors aud squaws, on
their way to tho military prison In Florida.
Reduced to this prcclfao form, tho campaign
ot Gen. CiiooK ceitalnly cannot bo called a
failure. It was dcpilvedof n largo part of
its success, almost at Its very close, by the
cscapo of Gkhonimo and a part of his band,
after having agreed to surrender with tho
rest at Fort lJowie. But among tho captives
are such well-known leaders as Chihuahua,
Natchez, and Nana, who rnnk very llttlo
below Gehonimo himself as dangerous and
troublesome chiefs. Tho captives lncludo
tho llfty-elght prisoners escorted by Lieut.
Faison from Lang's Ilancb, tho half dozen
hostages given by Gnnoxmo for his sur
render aftor tho expedition of CRAwroRO,
and tho two warriors bi ought lu more re
cently by Lieut. Macs. Therohovo. porhaps,
bcon enough previous captures and losses of
tho Indians In lighting to bring thoaggio
gato up to about ninety of both sexes dis
posed of in ono way or anolhor.
It seems probable that tho pooplo of Ari
zona, although naturally eager to got pos
session of tho surrendered hostile, In order
to punish them under the Inw as murderers,
will bo satlbfled with having them sent to
Tort Marion. What they weio determined
to resist was restoration to tho San Cailos
reservation. In this they wero cleat ly tight,
slnco no community ought to bo exposed to
the danger of another outbreak of such cut
throats. Sending them out of Arizona aud
as far away as Floilda will at least satisfy
tho demands of futuro security, if it docs
not fully moot tho demands of Justice
Taking the problem as It now stands, Us
main fact Is that two of the most formldablo
chiefs, Manouh and Geronimo, with their
rulluvTci?, aro etlU rtfo Inro. Tho formor is
described in tho report ot Lieut. Biiitton
Davis as tho real head of last year's outbreak :
"Theleadirlu thU moroment wan a chief knowu i
Maxt.cs. lid ttai encottraiceJ in this Insubordination by
his wife, a former Mexican captive, who knew just
enough to make her troublesome. With an Inillan known
as 2tADOiKt, he succt-odei! lu so worKlng upon the fears
of Oxiioximo another chief, that tho latter Joined him
In an attempt which It was determined to make for the
purpose of putting au end to all future punishment."
In continuing his narrative, Llout. Davis
again points out tho part played by Man a us :
"But Viscae and Oeroyiuo went to the other chiefs,
telliuirthem that we had neon killed, that the scouts had
deserted, and that all of the Iitillans were going to leare
the riservatlon. The two chiefs preUuuiiy mentioned,
OiuiiUAittJa aud Narcurz. frlslitetied at tho Dart they
had previously taken, readily believed what was told
thorn, and. gathering up the stock ttiey had immediately
around them, followed Midi's and Ukiosiao "
It would appear that MAxaua and Geroni
310 aftorward quarrelled, or, at least, sepa
rated on questions of policy, for tho formor
was not among those who wished to sur
render to Crawford In Mexico. Should thoy
now join foiccs, tho coming summor might
sco a renewal of llerco hostilities. All that is
now definitely known la that Lieut. Maus
followed tho trail ot Geronimo down Into
Sonoia neatly to Fronteras, and that Capt.
Dorst, Fourth Cavalry, is on a prolonged
expedition. With the advent of Gen. Miles,
a uew campaign may bo undertaken.
Time for tho Government to Act.
Simultaneously with tho sailing ot tho
Lansdowno from Publico and tho introduc
tion Into tbo Newfoundland Legislature of a
resolution prohibiting tho exportation of
bait, Mr. Flint In tho Senato and Mr. Disa
ley in tho Houso have called tho attention
of tho Administration to tbo attitudo of tho
Dominion Government In regard to tho
rights ot American fishing vessels In Cana
dian ports.
It is unfortunate that tbo position of tho
Department ot Stato In regard to tlteso
rights doos not soom to havo boon cither
firm or consistent. There Is no reason, how
ever, why the Administration should not
take solid ground and not budgo from It.
Mr. Frye and Mr. Dlvolev, and the Ameri
can fishermen whoso rights thoy represent,
aro right. Their position and that of tho
United Stales In tho present phaso ot tho
question is entiroly simple and tenable.
By later legislation and commercial con
vention tho genoral commercial rights ot
American vessels, and it would appear ot
fishing vessols as well, are not dependent
upon tho treaty ot 1818. Tho ports of tho
United States wore opened to vessols from
tho Biltish North American colonics on con
sideration ofltho ports of those colonies be
ing open to the vessels of the United States.
If there is to bo any exclusion or prohibition
on tho part of Canada, tbo United States
should answer it by a return to the old re
taliatory policy, or should see that such
oxcIubIoo or prohibition or limitation of com
mercial Intercourse Is romovod.
Tho course laid out by Mr. Fiiye and Mr.
Dinolky is porfectly proper and plain. Wo
very much doubt, howovor, if a recourse to
it will bo found necessary. The attention of
tho Imperial Government should be directed
to tho matter. Instead of taking Minister
West's advice, Secretary Bayard should
give Minister West some advice. It Is our
Impression that Newfoundland tried to pro
hibit the exportation of bait some years ago,
as It is trying now, and that tho home Gov
ernment sat upon that spirited trial. Doubt
less tho homo Government will now hold
back Canada and Newfoundland from their
amusing attempts at a spirited and In
timidating polloy. It not, our Canadian
friends must learn that they cannot get
and that they have no right to any moro
commercial privileges than thoy give. So
tor as they shut us out thov must bo shut
out themselves. The resolutions Introduced
by Mr. Fryb and Mr. Drxatirr, whllo In
form asking for Information, aro roally de
claratory of. the rights of our fishermen in
Canadian waters. The Stale Department
should tako prompt action In tho matter.
Eithor tho British Government must chock
tho Canadian authorities from violating
the gonoral commercial convention botweon
Gioat Britain and tho United States, or tho
Canadians must como to reason ot their own
motion, or Canada mint get as good as it
sonds. Tho United States Government has
been taking a good deal ot Impudcnco from
tho Dominion peoplo; It is high tlmotorlt
to put its foot down with decision.
Mr. Gladstone's Omission.
Ono ot tho most notablo features of Mr.
Gladstone's speech on homo rule was Illus
trated In that portion lu which he undortook
to show that two governing bodies within
tho empire, a Parliament In England and a
Parliament In Ireland, would bo possible Ho
Instanced as examples of successful dual
Government thoso of Norway and Sweden
and of Austria nnd Hungary.
But ho did not mention tho United States.
When so koon a judgo of tho tompor of
an English legislature as Mr. Gladstone
thought it prudent to omit the most successful
oxamplo over known of a great emplro wltlt
scpnrato cooperating governments, thoro
must havo bcon very strong reasons for it.
Tho Idea of moulding n single featuro of their
emplro on an Institution of Amni lea would
not bo very ngrooablo to Englishmen; nnd, of

IticnMOND, April a Tho question of tho
hanging ofT. J. Cluverlus for tbo murdor ot
Fanny Lillian Madison Is now in the hands of
tbo highest court of the Stato, tho condomnod
man having asked for a now trial on the ground
of newly discovered evldonco, tho substanco of
which was revealed to-day.
In tho lattar part ot last summer Rachel
McDonald, an aged maldan lady, living near
tho resonolr In which the body ot Lllllnu Madi

Lillian Madison, who, it was thought, was
thrown Into tho resonolr by her cousin, Clu

A closer analysis of tho vote clearly shows
the cause of the defeat to have been lack of Demo
cratic organization generally, and locally to the saloon
Interest going very largely to the Republicans. The
Democracy have shown that they were over confident.
Tha result throughout the State Is conflicting, both sides
gaining at unexpected points, bnt, as a whole, with
some Democratic gain. It is not enough, howevsr, to
assure Democrats any certainty of vletory in future,
and should show them the necessity of Instant, thorough,
and energetto organization. Take for exempts this city.
There were a considerable number of Democrats in

Mr. Frye Pleading- the Cnuse of Oar Fisher
men oa the Flnur oTlhe Seuale.
Washington, April 9. Mr. Frye of Mnlun
addressed the Senato In support of tho resolu
tion in relation to the fisheries. The resolu
tion doclnres It to bo the senso of tho Sonate
that Congress ought not to provldo for tbo ap
pointment of a commission, In which tbe Gov
monts of tbe United States and Groat Britain
should bo represontod, aharged with tho con
sideration and settloment of tho Ashing rights
of tho two Governments on tbe coasts of the
United States and British America. Mr. Frye
said this was a question not only of Import
ance to our own llshormon, but to tho nation.
Ho showed thu great and growing linportanco
of thn fishery business, and entered upon u
historical view of the diplomatic arrangumonts
between Great Britain the United Statos from
1783 to tho treaty of Washington. In every ne
gotiation of which, ho said. Gteut Britain had
always obtained decidedly tho advantage of tho
United States, Mr. Frye, In conclusion, said:
Now, sir, what do our fishermen ask T In this emer
gency, whin Fngland is demanding one more sacririce
and the Administration Menus In hmo tieen beguiled b
theallurimuntsnf lite British Minister nnd sir Ambrose
Blue, their nrst and most earnest prayer is 'tube let
aluue." Tossed about for a century by the winds and
waves of EugliHh dlpioinscv. beffeted by Canadian
penal laws, stripped and dismantled lu provincial
conns, it seoms tu iheiii if only their country would say
tn litis tempestuous sea, "peace, be still." their cup of
content would be full the resolution now under con
ei.leratlrm answers this demand ilut. Ur. President,
the republic should demand more than this of Congress
It should Insist first, that Ureat Ilrltuln must ub.
stuin from the shsuiuptlou of a territorial or
any other Jurisdiction over tbe vessels of the
United States navigating or harboring in ttie "pitiless
under the flag of the United statis, whether within or
without three miles of the shnret seinud. it should In
slat upon the ordtiiKry rights offtioat itality, ' wood,
water, and shelter," regardless of treaties The republlo
should Insist upon the same commercial privileges In
the ports and harbors of the Dominion of L'atisda as she
enjoj sin ours. If these are nut accorded, tlun Con.
gress should promptly resort to rstsllatory legislation,
and our Uovernment send into those waters armed
crullers not to perpetrate any wrongs upon or do any
Injustice to our neighbors, but to protu.t our own citi
zens from outrage.
Mr. Saulsbury asked whether friendly rela
tions could be maintained with tbo British
colonies without the appointment of a commis
sion to settle these fishery questions.
Mr. Frve Beyond any manner of question,
whon this country puts herself Into even a do
cent position in regard to these matters. If
this country permits Groat Britain nnd Canada,
by outrages and violation of all rights ot hos
pitality, to drive us into the" surrender of our
markets, why we never can have peace with
Canada: but if Canada understands that whon
she closes her ports, as she Is doing to-day,
the porta of the United States aro to be closed
too, you will havo no trouble wilh Canada not
the slightest.

In tho course of th debate Mr. Euslis said

Albany, April 9. Driven from tho Senato

turn law making In Albany Into a fares, to-day
turned up In the Assembly. Ths Senate

Oliver, and the rest woro now vacant, Tha
room seemed to havo undergone some vlolont
trnnsformatlon. it looked to bare. But the
Senators felt mora at caso than In many
months, for, whuthor this new form ot lobby

Is an element of intimidation and spying about
It that prevents a weak-backed man from
poaklng and voting freely whon he knows that
backors or paid agents nre sitting nround him,
frowning nt him, or sondlng friends to bog of

Gen. t. B. Bplnola and Thomas F. Grady have

that won tholr support when tho people paid

The mombors of the Houso had boon reading

"There's a man on tho loft llioto "he said,
nodding toward Spinoln. who vory promptly

Mr. Malier then moved that tho privileges of

But the moral point w.ts left unsottlod. and
It wns seon that the character of tho Assembly
would bo Impaired unless record was made of
tho Indignation felt by thoso who want to free
it from tho stain that Is loft upon tho Sennte by
io,ion of tho scenes that tho llcpubllc.ins havo
permitted to bo onactod thoro during tho
wholo of tho present session. Mr. Krut.o un
dertook the task of putting tho matter rigltt
upon tho Journal, Ho said :
t rise to a question of high privilege This I., slala
ture so far, I be.lere. hue had ths reputation of being
free from being iiifisttd with lohbrirls. 1 1 e.leve that
lu order to preatrve that reputation we should be

mittee such a bill as this tiis bill I believe it tn bo
our tfutv to eXLlude such a peraon from trie lluor.
And much as I dislike to vole tu exclude any ono ou a

eicipt upon anass from the Sjenker. Let blm dciide
n lui shall coiuu in, and let hlin take the responsibility.
Gon. Bnehollor I hopo that will not lncludo
the ladles.
Mr. Van Allon I was just going to mnko tho
same motion.
The Mieakar ruled that tho rules must bo
amonded, nnd by a resolution ol tbo Houso. in
ordor to do that. Mr. Krttao then mnvid to
rescind thn resolution ndmittlng Grndy and
Spinoln. The Spoakor held that as Mr. Kruse
voted against tho resolution, some ono olse
who voted for it must make tho motion.
"Is there any gentloman with gonoro'lty
enough to do that lor me ?" Mr. Kruio nsked.
" 1 will," said Mr. Wood, a Domocrutlo mom
bo r from Wayne.
Before this Snlnnia and Grady nnd ngaln left
thn chamber. Major Hnggerty appealed to the
members to re member the irray hairs ot Gon.
Spinola. to lomomberthat ho had once boen an
Assemblyman, and to remember that ho had
boen a General.
McConn of Kings, with his sense of humor
stronger upon him than his souso of propriety,
threntoned tho llepuhllcans that If thoy passed
Mr. Wood's motion ha would name certain lte
publlcans who bad boen here notably a cer
tain Itepubllean ox-Bi-eakor in tho interest of
railroad lobulation. He referred to ono of the
men concerned In the rocont abuse of tho
prlvilegesof the Sennte lloor.
Mr. Wolf of Steuben moved to lay Mr. Kruno's
motion on the tablo. Mr. Shenban of Erie, after
assuring tbo House that ha had never spokon
twenty words with Spinola or Grndy, and was
opposed to tholr pas bill, urged tho point that
tho Gas bill had been withdrawn and that it
would bo a gratuitous assault to push tbe mat
ter any further, now that tha gentleman al
ready admitted oould not tako any advantage
of tholr privileges.
This view mat the sense of fairness ot th
Houso and the motion was lost, though not un
til half a dozen membors, Mossrs, Bnehollor,
Vnn Allen, Curtis, and nthors had spoken from
various sides of tho case. Those who main
tained the original position of hostility to the
Srxcedont ostubllbhed by admitting Grady and
plnola. and who voted to withdraw tho consent
thoy hud given to thoso ex-lcglslators, woie:
Messrs K 1' Habcock. Jerome Babcock. Bowe, Cole,
llallsy Hamilton, Howe. Iluntting, lugersoll, Kllby,
Kruse, lci:wen, McUtmus, rarsons, Clark R. Smith.
The importance of the stir that was thns
created was soon in tbo fact that tbo vary noxt
bills that came up woro the Itoscon Conkliog
bills to punish th participants In the tboft of
Broadway. Now, If ever the Assembly needed
a stiffening of Its moral backbone the time has
arrived. On nil sides the rumor is current that
desperate efforts will be made to boat tbeso
bill In tho Assembly. Tbe pooplewlll nar
rowly scan every stop of their progress, ths
newspapers will report thn movements of ovory
paid agent of the road who shows his face In
Albany, and whatever I dons will be done In
tbo full glare of publicity.
