THE RESIGNATION or BRISTOW

The Cincinnati Convention, proclaim
ing unqualified devotion to the great
principles of civil service reform and OPP
position to corruption, had scarcely ad-
iourned when Grant SO grossly lnsulted
Secretary Bristow rs to compel hlm to
resign. And Grant accepted his resig-
nation instantly. Now are the whisky
thieves avenged. From the cells OF
their penetentiarles Mcdonald. Joyce,
Mckee, and all the rest OF that corrupt
tribe can sing hymns OF eXultatlon. Inc
man who saved the government one
million aud halt dollars OF revenue has
been humbled Now let Babcock shout
halleluiah, let the slums ot Chicago,
Milwaukee, Now New Orleans, and San
Francisco send up 4 great song oi thanks
giving. Their enemy has fallen.
Even the Pioneer Press Tribune IS
compelled 10 declare this the most
shameful act OF Grants administration.
Bristow was the one redeeming feature
of that administration he made us Al
most forget its Belknap. kobcson. aud
Delano; and now he IS kicked out at the
toe ot Grants boot. And this Is tae
party Of Reform.

IHL GOLD BASIS.

Gov. SlDley's platform says that gold
and silver are the only things the nation
has any right to make money out OF. lie
torgets that silver is no longer money.
The bankers nave induced Congress to
demoneytlze silver; 50 that il Gov. oiD-
ley owed to-day $1,000 and had 81, 900
o1 silver money ne could not compel his
creditor to take it IN payment OF his deot.
But how IS 1t ;ts to gold? We quote:
How many thousands have gold plate, ana
cane heads-how many millions have watches,
chains, earrings, trlnkets, finger rings, sleeve
buttons, Shoe buckles teeth, wall paper, signs.
etc, OF gold. And thinking Of this Is It any
wonder that gold is scarce as basis Of curren
cy! But 1t is lust like a verdant civilization to
rest their entire commerce on a coin basis that
can be melted into plnt pots ana cane heads.
There are 4o,OoO, 900 people III the United
States, and it is not too much to say that III
their plate, watches, buttons, rings, chains,
etc, they Will each average SO worth OF gold,
or IA total OF S40t 900 900, which is more than
twice the amount Of the value of the gold coin
III the United States incluuing Washington,
Wall street and California. And this loose
show OF lewelry is growing on the people, 50
that more coin will be melted to adorn t cir
person until there will be no basis left for a
currency; hence statesmen might as well look
these facts i'll the face to prepare to base
the currency OF the nation on something that
can not be spirited away, or that does not rest
on the public caprice
But we doubt not all this is Sanscrit to
Gov. Sibley and his coadlutors.

mistaken when he Gays that a Snowman
