In THE examination of one of the White
League witnesses before the Congressional
committee in New Orleans, Judge Hoar
asked "Who told you to do such things?"
The witness hesitated and stammered and
seemed greatly puzzled for fear he might
name some other than the one he had been
drilled and instructed to name John Mon
cure, whom Warmoth dubbed "honest
John, saw the fatal mistake the witness
would make, and, forgetting himself hastily

AND NOW the sensational correspondents
assert that the Presidents Arkansas mes
sage was written by himself-which is true
and sent to Congress without having been
submitted to the Cabinet-which is a lie.
Every member ofthe Cabinet stands by the
policy announced in that message as they
have individually stood by it siIce it was
first preached by the President more than
a month ago.

Do THE grave and reverend Senators at
the Capitol mean to say that the resident
who rents house or room is not entitled
to a voice in the character of the streets,
walks, sewerage or sanitary condition of the
city, because his taxes find their way into
the. Treasury through his landlord S pocket?
Is this Mr.. Morrilrs idea?

THE ignorant, unnaturalized editor of the
New York Times will probably discover in
the course of time that the President sent q
message to Congress regarding the Arkan-
sas question, and then he will write some
thing about it in his usual bungling way,
and as usual misrepresent Republican senti-
ment in New York and elsewhere.

The new tariff bill should be passed as
soon as possible. The proposed increase
will at once be added to the prices of all
the articles Of consumption affected by it
except whisky, which will be diluted a
little more and retailed at the same prices,
so that the quicker the bill becomes law

more acceptable will be the relief. to the

In Chicago the people are so intensely pa
triotic that they know no North, no South,
no East, no West; and when stranger in
quires the way to the Chamber of Commerce,
for example, he is told that it is right oppo-
site to the back entrance to Dump Rhines'
saloon. The citizens, fearing that sectional
animosity may be engendered by the use of
geographical terms, take and give their bear
ings by saloons. The telegraph Office is said
to be next door to Charley Kern's; the pub
lie library is a block below Pat O'NeiPs old
place; the location of a certain church is des-
ignated as being in that quarter of the city
where there are no beer shops for two blocks
together. This simple and picturesque man
ner of giving information certainly has its ad-
vantages.

THEY are very severe critics in Georgia,
have no patience with novices, and if an ac-
tor is caught numbering a part they murder
him, Thus bad acting is promptly discour-
aged, and marked improvement in the his
tronic profession results. Only last Christ
mas Mr.. W. M. Crouch was playing Santa
Claus, and playing it shockingly too. There
upon Mr.. Mack Styles, an accomplished crit
ic whose aesthetic tastes were offended by the
faulty impersonation, put a rife to his shoul-
der, and brought Mr.. Crouch down with a
bullet. We venture to say that the next
man who plays Santa Claus in Georgia will
study his part carefully, and avoid any glar-
ing faults in its presentation.

In the view of the Director of the Mints
there is no doubt of the practicability of re-
deeming fractional currency with silver coins
and keeping silver in circulation as money
The condition of the silver market is such as
to favor the obtaining of silver bullion sufi-
cient to keep the mints running at their full
capacity on more favorable terms than at any
previous time. The silver production in
this city promises TO be very large, and the
great German stock of coin is ready to seek
any favorable market. The value of the
greenback dollar with gold at 112, is Is
cents less than the dollar in small silver coin.
The increased production will without doubt
further depreciate the value of silver, and DR..
Linderman thinks there would be little diff
cult in maintaining the circulotion of silver
coin even if gold should stand at 113.

THE Legislature. it will be seen has taken

THE Legislature, it will be seen has taken
prompt action respecting the recommends
tions of Gov. Dingley for the revision of the
constitution of the state. There appears to
be but one sentiment on the subject, and
that is that it is necessary and that the course
adopted by the Legislature is not only the
most economical, but the most practical and
wisest. Constitutional conventions have Of
late been rather failures than otherwise
Take Ohio, for instance. There the
convention was in session a long
time az great expense only to have the
amendments proposed by il rejected by the
people. The history of the last constitution
al convention in the state of New York indi-
Gates about the same disposition of its
amendments. On the other hand, the ex-
pertinent of New York with commission
has proved most satisfactory if we judge by
the result as all OF the amendments proposed
were ratified by the Legislature and the peo-
pie. 1t is understood that Gov. Dingley will
ask the ablest and most experienced lawyers
and jurists in the state to undertake the
work.
