Already before the silver coin experiment
is begun the evil effects of the scheme begin
to appear. 1t does seem really strange that
the government should attempt on large
scale an undertaking which failed so ridieu-
lousy in the hands of Secretary Richardson.
He proposed TO redeem small amounts in
silver coin at the treasury in New York, and
made himself laughing stock for The whole
country. The prospective consequences OF
the substitution of silver for fractional cur
rency however, are actually appalling Not SO
much because of the increase OF the public
debt by some S40.00O,000, although that is
bad enough, but because OF the inconveni-
ence and trouble which the public is likely
TO suffer for the want of small change. Moth
ing is mole clear than the fact that if the
silver coin is worth fraction more than
greenback currency it will Immediately dis
appear from sight and hand. Then, with
the fractional currency called in, what will
be left as divisor of currency with which to
do the daily business of life? You
will hand out dollar bill to the
butcher or the groceryman to pay for a
quarters worth of meat or vegetables.

and that phrase will become the watchword
of the hour. The next thing visible will
be Individual shinplssters given out for
change, and the old story over again OF
trouble, loss and vexation. It Is already
charged in respectable commercial quarters
that the government purchases of silver
lent their baleful effect to produce
the crisis in California and the scarcity
or gold in the market. All the silver
purchased for this coin prevents that much
from being exported and takes away its
value in gold. Nothing whatever is gained
by the operation in any sense. 1t does not
move affairs one step towards general re
sumption, but only creates severe tempo
rary dist urbance, to be corrected by restora-
ton of some paper substitute after the silver
has been issued and spirited away leaving
a vacancy in the medium of trade. 1t is
more likely that the measure will never be
fully carried out, as the consequences be-
coming apparent will be too serious to admit

occupant and refusing him a right
guaranteed the humblest citizen. Their
actions resulted in death, and the
leaders of this mob, and not
Howard Siretcher, should have been tried
and punished for the death of Stewart, who
was killed on that memorable night.
1t is true that in these days it was charged
| by the Republican party that the Democracy
was disloyal, and the tyranny exercised by
the mob law justified, on the ground tina. it
was right to use extraordinary means to
suppress reasonable utterances. And this,
too, at time when Democratic sons OF
Democratic fathers were in the army under
Democratic generals, fighting the battles Of
the Union. In the era of good feeling now
existing in the country it seems incredible
that these things should have been, and yet,
at the time they occurred, they were ap-
proved by most of those who led the party
| in power.
The Sentinel does not recur to these mat
ters for the purpose of stirring up bad blood
or bringing back the animosities of the past,
but to remind its readers of the seI6shness,
| the illiberality and tyranny of the Repuoli-
can party of Indiana under the leadership OF
Oliver p. Morton. This man aspires to be
president, and, If successful, we may expect
his spirit and his animosities to permeate
the whole country as they did the state of
Indiana during the time he was its governor,
Time often mellows the asperities of men,
but it seems not to have had this effect upon
Senator Morton. In all his public speeches
he gives no evidence that his feelings have
softened. He faunts the bloody flag as in
the days of yore, and talks as he did when
governor of Indiana by the visitation of
God and the votes of Massachusetts soldiers.

ened, and ruin stalked abroad on every
hand. We ask, why all this? 1t was for the
very comprehensive reason that specie re-
sumption for all paper circulation was
effected through forced legislation and
there was not enough specie in the
country to float necessary volume of cur
rency to transact the business in the pros
porous condition in which it was found at
the time. The demand was greater than
the supply. The paper. circulation being
contracted beyond whatthe business of the
country would easily absorb and employ,
public confidence was destroyed, manufac-
turing was without profits, commerce de
clined, agriculture was unremunerative,
and confusion, stsgnation and bankruptcy
followed in one broad train of ruin in all
the business pursuits of men. BY this pro-
cess of legislation, debts and taxes were
nearly doubled, and the ability of the peo-
pie to pay reduced one-half, thus bringing
disaster and distress upon both creditor and
debtor, while the collection of revenues for
the support of government became a source
OF oppression. There was remedy tor all
this as advocated at the time, and since
demonstrated in the clear light of history.
But British financiers, in control of the gov
eminent, soon learned, as those in this
country who advocate continued contrsc-
ton aud forced resumption will, in time,
learn that, like Saul when he sought to take
away the life OF David, 'they have played
the fool and have erred exceedingly"

on these fine prairie fields to ex-
ercise ths skill or demonstrate what brains
may Go in retaining bad lands and coun-
teracting adverse conditions. Some years
ago the state of Vermont offered premium
for the best handled farm. Who took it?
Not somebody with fine scope of the best
land, but man who lived in the town of
Felchville, among rocks and swamps, and
bills, and hollows, where Western man
would not attempt to raise goats and chick
ems. The award was properly made on skill

famed farmer of Chappaqua likewise chose

and swamp and gravel that he could find.
Mr.. George Z. Warning took up a cold,
clayey, almost worthless and totally worn

hand can make it highly profitable farm

foes are astonished at his consistent and
stubborn stupidity in retaining Delsno.
There is perhaps no man among all
the inefficient, incompetent and dishonest
men that Mr.. Grant has appointed
to Office who are more gen.
orally and cordially despised than
Delano. he never was a favorite with his
own party. The Investigations that have
been in progress. that so clearly establishes
his rascality only corroborste the opinion
that was general long ago, while the
renewed and universal demand comes to
Mr.. Grant in shape that implies that deal
ing Justly with him, he should be kicked
out of the office. Yet Mr.. Grant pays no
sort of attention to the wishes of the coun-
try, and retains him as his adviser, and in
the department that affords the best
opportunity for continued population.
His unftness is proven by the tenacious
shamefacedness with which he holds on.
A man of any delicate sense of honor
would retire amid the universal demand for
his removal, while the facts of the Indian
frauds, clearly set forth. ought to cause him
to hide his head in shame. Grant is salts
fed-and the country must bear it.
The appointment of Shepherd TO an office
of peculiar responsibility, after his position
was taken from under him for gross fraud
and dishonesty by congress, is another ex
ample of Mr. Grants imperialism. 1t was a
piece of shameful indignity disgusting to
everybody. and yet Mr.. Grant tried to d.
rectly thwart the viii of the people, so point
eddy expressed by their representatives.
If any one objects to such conduct being
named as Imperialism, then call it Grant
ism, as this doggish stubbornness is one Of
lis striking characteristics.
If one should attempt to analyze the con-
duct of Mr.. Grant and account for this sort
of personalism, no satisfactory solution could
be given, save by attributing to the presi-
dent pecunisry motives. Mr.. Grant IS well
known to be grasping and avariclous. he
has never suffered mere punctilloes OF honor
to stand between him and the acquisition OF
material gain. 1t is, therefore, more than
probable that near or remote self-interest
causes him to bold on to Mr.. Delano. That
such disposition is dangerous to the public
welfare can not be denied. Mr.. Grant has sur
rounded himself by many men that he clings
to, doubtless, because his own obligation
to them forbid their removal-men will
peach sometimes. This is one of the evils
and dangers of second and third terms. Par
asites cling and hold on, and it is impossible
10 get rid of them, even if it were the wish OF
the president to dismiss them. The presi-
dentiai Office should be held free from all
obligations by the occupant. a new man is
demanded for this reason If tor no other.
Whether these speculations arejust or not,
the retention of Mr.. Delano in the Interior
Department is an indignity that the Ameri-
can people should resent. Some respect to
the nominal source Of power, at least
should be given by the nations chief
officer.

If the Republicans expect to gain any
thing by the financial issue they will need
to get together and agree on some concert of
action. They have little advantage in
charging want of harmony on the Demo-
cratic party, and will have less before they
are through with the fight. If any one
doubts this, read the following from the
Evansville Journal, which is, perhaps, as
high authority for the Republican party as
the Journal OF this city. That paper says:
AS champion of national banks the Indian
apOlis Journal wants the government to inter-
fere by law with the management of savings
banks and private banks of every description.
Hands OIL say we. Let the government have
nothing whatever to do with banking. IL has
filled its mission when it has placed its fndebt-
edneSs in a con venient form for the PEOPLE and
so arranged it that they can place their money
for safe keeping with the government rather
than with individuals or private corporations
All these conditions are met in the 800 incOn-
vertibe bond. The government has no more
right to require regular st stements from private
banks than from private printing Offices
Now, wouldn't it be well for the Indianap-
oils Journal to look after the lambs OF its
own flock and see that they stray not away
rom the fold? After it has converted rs
sound and decided papers as the Evansville
Journal, then it may employ its leisure mo-
ments in missionary labor among Demo-
cratic heathen.

Mr.. Grant has some very fine imperial
qualities. He carries out his will at times
regardless of everybody. He has quick
and ready respect for public opinion, when
Iu5lic opinion will likely bring to him ma
terial damage. But il not thus constrained,
he cares no more about public opinion than
rs does about the course that the curling
smoke takes from his fragrant Havansas.

position clearly. Both his friends and his

tinguished fellow citizsn. the Hon. Eli s.
Shorter. he has been to Southern Ohio and
other places in the middle Western states, and
during his sojourn met many of the leaders
of the great democratic party of the Union,
and interchanges of opinion with them upon
the absorbing questions of the day. He
brings cheering news from Ohio, and saws
the democratic party there expect to re-
elect Gov. Allen by large
majority. he speaks of Gov. Hen
bricks, of Indiana, who will In a few DAYS

coming man for the presidency. He tell
us that the whole West and South seem to
be uniting for i'm, and with this support,
and strong following in the East, which be
also has, heiwill be invincible. We concur
with Col. Shorter in the opinio that no
man stands ahead of Governor Hendricks
in the esteem and support of the people of
Alabama and the S0ther outhern states and
could they name the president, most as
suredly he would be the man. We know
Governor Hendricks to be true lover and
heroic defender of constitutional liberty,
A WISE AND EXPERIENCED STATESMAN,
an uncompromising enemy of usurpers, law
breakers and public thieves; we know him
to be prominently fitted to make one of
the best presidents that ever graced the
White House, and we hear that his views on
the vexed financial questions that now ap-
pear as If they will enter so largely into the
next presidential campaign, are such as will,
in our opinion, merit the Involvement of all
classes of our citizens, and with the support
that he will command in the West and
South, and with his great popularity in all
parts of the country, and with his high
capacities and qualifications to back him, in
addition to the good fortune of his location,
there seems to us to be no possibility for
Mr.. Hendricks to have even a formidable
rival for the democratic nomination for
president, nextmsn in the White House.

There is a special significance in the sweep
ing Democratic victory in California. 1t is
the death knell of all the old independent
movement which two years ago swept SO
brilliantly over that state. Governor Booth
was the ablest, fairest and most popular OF
all the independent leaders who have taken
that track. He made it win for himself His
speeches before the grangers will be remem-
bered as the best enunciations in the line OF
their plans, and they were marked by much
force and beauty. But the cause of indie
pendent politics had almost its only support
in the personal popularity of Booth. With
him safely provided for in the Senate, there
is no force of cohesion left to hold the
elements together. The election further
shows that it is not by any means certain
that the liberal forces which went out of the
republican party will return to the old
homestead. There is little attraction for
them there, and not such q reception as the
Prodigal Son received, by a long way. They
will find better prospects in a party which
promises a change.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8.

New York Republicans have three bad
pills to swallow to-day at Saratoga, more dis
tasteful than congress water to country
greenhorn. But the medicine must be swsl-
lowed, according TO the Tribune. or the
party can never enjoy good health in the
atmosphere OF the Empire state. Republi-
canism in New York is pretty sick, having
turned majority for itself of $4,000 in 1872
into Democratic majority of $4,000 in 1874
The only chance left is for the
party to-day at Saratoga to speak
out unreservedly against the third term. to
declare an unequivocal policy onthe finan-
cial question, and thirdly, to indorse Gov.
Tilden's canal reforms. Neglect to stand up
sauarely to any one of these most delicate
questions viii settle the prospects of Repub-
licanism in New York for the next presi-
dental campaign. The action OF the con-
vention will be watched with eager eyes.
1t has very rough road to travel, consid-
ering all the circumstances, and there is no
way OF lodging around the bad places.
