4 GOOD AMENDMENT.

In the United States Senate yes.er-
day. William W. Eaton OF Connecticut
introduced q joint resolution proposing
an amendment to the Constitution. pro-
viding for the settlement OF all contested
claims Of Presidential electors before
the time fixed by law for counting th'
votes. Mr.. Eaton takes substantially
the same position held by the Electoral
commission. that no right Is vested In
Congress to review the votes Of the dif-
fsrent States. but that the votes. II prop.
srly and duly authenticated. must be re-
csivsd. II is for the purpose OF authen-
ticating the votes that Mr.. Eaton's pro-
posed amendment is intended. It aims
to establish in each State q judicial
tribunal. somewhat similar in its powers
TO the Electoral commission. aud to rc-
fer all contests to tina. body for judg.
ment. The amendment reads as fol-
lows
"a tribunal for the decision of all con.
tested issues arising in the choice Of cleo

THE SILVER

The leading New York newspapers are
not treating the silver question fairly.
They are garbling facts In the interest
Of bankers and brokers. and drawing
conclusions to cram down the throats Of
their readers which arc in no wise justi-
fed by the premises. Especially Is this
the case with tho Times. Herald and
Tribune. The latter journal bsins owned
by Jay Gould. its motive for attacking
the silver bill is apparent. The Hsralds
opinions amount to nothing anyway,
aud IL shields itself under the mask OF
Independence" But the Times Is .
leader OF public opinion. and a Journal
to which we have q right to look for
sound arguments on the great questions
Of the day. For such a paper 10 adj
vance the absurd arguments against re-
monstization which We printed In our
teisgraphic columns on Wednesday. is.
to say the least OF IL. astonishing.
Henry J. Raymond would turn In his
own grave could he read the words
which the paper which he founded. and
illuminated by his genius, 10 now print
ing against ths poor and in favor Of the
Unfortunately wealthy.
The Bland silver bill. as II has passed
the House. il not. IL Is true, all that
could he desired. There are imper-
fsctions in il which will be wiped out in
the Senate. Among others Is the clause
providing for free coinage, which. II en-
acted. would virtually give to the pro-
duesr Of bullion one dollar for ninety
two or ninety-thres cents. This, Of
course. Is not just. and IL has very much
the appearance Of = Democratic Job"
Bat that can DO remsdisd BY amendment.
aud the principle underlying the bill IL
a sound ons. II is in the interest OF
the poo man. For the last four years
we have had one coin for the rich and
another AMI deprecated currency for
the poor. The silver bill proposes to
do away with this state OF things, and
make the silver dollar Of the laborsr
worth as much to him ~ the golden
dollar OF the banker. Surely the object
il a noble one. Why. then. should 1t
be dsrided and scoffed at?
Simply for the eason that its passage
will prevent the merchant and the bro.
ker from robbins the poor as they are
now doing. On the dollar OF our fathers
there will be nc discount. and the dis
count now made is going day BY day
into the safes Of the bankers. II il these
mon, aud these only. that object to
demonstration. They foreses the eud
OF tho shaving" process by which
they have grown rich. Well. the end is
very near at hand. Despite petitions
aud protests. Congress will do what the
people demand OF 1t. and the poor mans
dollar will be made to buy = dollars
worth Of food. The sneaiss Of the bill
are impotent. and their curses fall harm
less. Its friends are strong Ia the
strength OF the nation. and they must
prevail.
