WHEN we had single executive officer,

Then we had but one kind of pavement
Then we were not satisfied, and we OBJ
tanned Board of Public Works numbering
five persons; the result was five or six
kinds of pavements, and they were all
claimed by their inventors TO be the best;
but this board was objected to and ruled
out, and We obtained a trinitarian execu-
tive. This trinity determined that con-
crete pavement was the best, all things
considered, and they laid considerable of
it. But this Democratic ex Confederate
House does not approve Of our trinity. 1t
is evident, however, that the objection is
rather TO the persons of which it is com
posed than TO the trinity itself, for it has
provided triple commission to lay pave
ment on Pennsylvania avenue, which, we
are told, has determined to lay three kinds
of best pavements between the Capitol
and the Treasury. This is one apiece 1t
is enough to make us sigh for the good old
days Of the mayoralty again. But seri-
ously, there have been experiments enough
made in this District In the paving line to
enable three such men as Wright Gilmore
and Clarke to find best kind; to determine

Restore the rights and values of the sill
yer coins Make them legal tender as of
yore! 1t was wrong to even partially de-
monetize silver at time when we were
struggling to achieve specie payments
The people were not appreciatively aware
of what was being done or it would not
have been accomplished. 1t is even doubt
full whether Senators and Representatives
who voted for it were fully aware of the
effect of their action upon the market
values of silver and gold respectively. and
its consequent effect upon the resumption
of specie payments. We measure values
by standard money. The expulsion of sill
yer from the coin family when we were
making every effort to make our green
backs par left gold alone as the indicator
of values. The immediate effect was to
greatly increase the purchasing power of
gold to the advantage of those holding coin
bearing securities, and to correspondingly
cheaper the purchasing power of silver to
the great detriment of those who produced
it, and of those also who were obliged to
pay coin interest. 1t was therefore this
movement which, perhaps, did more to
cause the reyulsion of 1878 and the shrink
age of values of IA, rs and '76 than all

REAL AND SPURIOUS ECoNoMY-wHIcH
Is TT

When the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives assembled in December last
they saw clearly that there were but two
measures upon which they could hope to
advance the interests of their party. First,
to blast the reputation Of prominent Repub-
lican officials, and to convict the Admins
tration of great abuses Of public trusts; and
second, to reduce the appropriations and
thus to win the appreciation which is sure
to follow the supercedence of extravaganza,
by retrenchment and economy. Their
failure in the first of these efforts is too
conspicuous for discussion. With the ex-
ception of the downfall of one unhappy
man no Republican Official has been
proved recreant to a public trust, and
all the thirty odd investigations have
signally failed, notwithstanding the fact
that during their prosecution the drag
net has been cast over slums and sewers,
taken into prisons and lunatic asylums, and
embraced as its choicest sources of evidence
those worthless and dishonest public
servants who during the last eight years
have been dismissed from office by Re
publican Administration, and who gladly
embraced the profered opportunity of per-
sonal revenge.
The attempted tragedy has turned out a
farce. Not an iota of evidence can be ad-
duced to prove that the Government has
been defrauded by the value of a dollar,
except by those disgraced officials whom
the Democrats have taken to their embrace
for party ends. Foiled in this effort to
break down the Republican party, des-
perate charge was made upon the appro-
priations, and when the last bill was sent
to the Senate the Democracy kicked up,its
heels and shouted, Thirty nine millions
"saved, and the Republican party con.
"victed of wasteful extravaganza"
It needed a clear head and mind well
informed as to the needs of the Govern
ment to sharply analyze these loud preten-
sions, and to show how much is real and
how much spurious economy. That work
has been done in a handsome and states
manlike manner by Senator Window,
chairman of the Senate Committee on Ap-
preparations Boldly attacking the citadel
in which the enemy had at last entrenched
himself, and for eight long months stored
ND ammunition for the campaign, the Sen
ator has touched touched the fuse with the
torch of his searching analysis and blown

other things combined. While it deprived
the Government of the power to redeem
its greenbacks by the enhancement Of the
value of gold coin, it equally enhanced the
value of the security pledged for the safety
of the National bank note. At about the
same time that Congress demonetized sill
yer, thus nearly doubling the value of gold
as was seen by the shrinkage of real estate
in New York and Chicago by fifty per
cent, and, of course, doubling the value of
gold d-bearing bonds, it passed an act allow
ing the banks to deposit greenblcks worth
eighty six cents as security for the redemp-
ton of National bank notes, and withdraw
gold bearing bonds worth thirty per cent.
more.
OF course many shrewd bankers began
to curtail their circulation and realize on
their bonds while they had the gol1en
opportunity. And this class now oppose
the reconciliation of silver by its restora-
tion to its old status of full legal tender.
But this is sbort-sighted policy, because
the inevitable result of making and con
tinuing gold coin as the sole measure of
values in this country will not only defer
resumption, but break the best customers
of the banks. The reaction of such gen
eral bankruptcy will break the banks them
selves. The only safe way out of this
dilemma appears to be an immediate re-
tracing of our steps on this silver question.
We are in no condition TO persist in the
demonetization of silver. The act of 1873
should be repealed at once. The burdens
of the people are nearly doubled by the
asnihilation of one half of that CON in
which all public obligations must be paid.
They feel the increasing pressure day by
day and are awakening to the cause. They
will sweep away in their hot wrath the
fimsy pretenses which the gold ring is
pleading as an excuse for this deadly blow
to industry and trade. 1t is not safe for
any man or party TO halt when the right is
as clear as the noon day sun.
A gentleman who has just returned from
an extended tour of observation in the
Western and Northwestern States informs
us that In conversation with business men
of all classes he has not found single ad-
vocate or apologist for the decentralization
of silver. Only two prominent Western
journals sustain this wrong. The Chi
cago Times and the St. Paul PtO-
ncer. Press Tribune are its only advo-
Gates. The residue Of the Western
press is a unit in favor of honesty to
the labor of the country as well as to its
creditors. We must be just to ourselves
while we are just, not to say generous, to
the holders of our securities. This is the
crowning question Of the hour. To ignore
it is moral treason to the rights and inter
ests of the people. To neglect it as party
is little short of political ldiocy. Let all
other measures wait on this. This OBJ
noxious statute must he repealed. The
people are crying out for its repeal, and
no man or party can safely refuse their just

THERE is one very direct road for the
paving commission TO proceed without
difficulty. 1t is the one pointed out by us
some days since, viz: Select the best sam
pie of pavement, pay the royalty for its
use and lay 1t yourselves by days work.
In this way only can you be sure that you
will get what you contract for. In this
way the contractors expected profits will
go into the pavement or remain in the

In response to the sentiment of "BristOw aud

A Boston physician says that passionate love
brings on most of the heart disease cases.
This is the key TO the mystery of the preva-
lence of this affliction in America. Here ami
there and on all sides old and young men are
falling about us, and they call it apoplexy,
epileptic fits and vertigo, when, according to
this learned devotee of the Esculapian art, it
is nothing but the result of too passionate
love. But doctors disagree.
Yesterday Mr.. Singleton made speech in
the House, and commenced it by saying that
"it was no pleasure for him to discuss this
subject" The subject he referred to was the
condition, political and social, Of Mississippi.
We are not amazed that he should not find
any pleasure in discussing the subject. An
accomplice to a crime never takes pleasure in
rejecting on his culpable acts. A man who
robs another of his worldly effects never enjoys
meditating on his crime. Neither can Mr..
Singleton, who aided and abetted the Ku-Klux
of Mississippi in robbing the colored race of
their elective franchise privileges, take pleas
ure in discussing the questions which have
arisen from the result Of the infamous out
rage. Lady Macbeth, in her despair, cried,
"Out, out, damned spot ~ but the blood of
her victim would not be cleansed away. So it
is with Singleton. The work OF his banditti
rests heavily on his conscience. He takes no
pleasure in recalling their deeds. The blood
of the three hundred negroes who were slain
on the highways of Mississippi and " lost in its
swamps" cries out against him, and he shrinks
from the appalling influence. The forty thou
sand colored voters of that great Common
wealth, who we're disfranchised by his lawless
thugs and bully-raggers, are living witnesses
against the new conspiracy which wrested the
State forcibly and by fraudulent means from Re-
publican power. No! Mr.. Singleton takes no
more pleasure in rejecting on these sufferings
inflicted on humanity and outrages against the
law than he does in meditating on what he
lost in the failure of the late Confederacy.
His conscience is sort of tough conscience,
but not tough enough to bear these crimes
without a 1ang of genuine regret, we hope.
