The Washington Star IN an
editorial on Hon. Montgomery
Blair's motion in the Maryland
Legislature calling for Congress
sional inquiry into President
Hayes title, says: "Whatever
may be the views OF the poll
ticians, the people OF the coun-
try will be likely to make them
selves heard in opposition to a
renewal OF the presidential
wrangle, when the business in
terests OF the country are in
their present PROSTATE condi-
tion, and demand the thought
full undivided attention of Con-
gress and the government. And
oul public men understand that
it viii not be be safe te trifie with
this feeling on the part OF their
constituents" The Democrats
having been swindled out of
their President, do not propose
to renew the squsbble. 1t is
best for the interest OF all con-
cerned that the government
continue as it is.

The Dallas papers want TO make

arc working very hard to man.
uiactnre public opinion in that
direction. Que OF the principal
reasons urged in his favor is,
that he lives in Northern Texas,
We have no particular objec-
lions TO urge against Governor
Throckmorton, but are not
aware that he has any stronger
claims for the Office Of Governor
than perhaps a dozen other
prominent gentlemen in the
State. We do not think tue
time has yet arrived for making
up the gubernatorial slate, and
are free to say that we have no
particular tavorite for the posi-
tion. 1t makes no difference
what part of ths Sta e the chief
executive comes from, provided
he faithfully and without par
TALLY discharges his duty. II
is some time till the second
Tuesday in November, and
meanwhile many states may be
made and broken. However,
there is no harm in bearing in
mind that no particular portion
of the State has any special
claims to urge in favor of iurn-
ishing the governor. There is
little doubt but that when the
convention assemblies proper
man will he elected. Who he
will be time viii alone deter

A Gold Basis.

The New York bank presi-
dents have appointed commit
tie to take charge Of the task
of preventing the passage Of the
silver bill, or, If that cannot
be done, of nullitying its effect.
The bank officers of Boston,
Pbilade phia and Baltimore are
also represented on the com
mittee. No Western or South>
ern man is on it, and the
debtor classes are carefully exclu-
ded from representation. Its a
part OF the programme, if the
bill passes, to have the weight
of the standard dollar of 412d
grains increased SO as to make
the value of it equal TO a gold
dollar, and also to urge upon
merchants, traders and manu-
iacturers the propriety of placing
their business upon a gold basis.
The idea is that farmers, me-
chanics and day laborers be paid
in silver, which they must nee
essarily use at a discount IN
buying the every day necessi-
ties of life. In addition to this
the debtor class will be COM
PEELED to pay their creditors in
gold for debts contracted to
have been paid 10 paper, or
more properly, grcenbacks.

The S. A. Express says the
Mexican dollar is now received
by merchants and traders at
from five to seven cents dis
count. The banks arc taking
Mexican coin at ninety three
cents, while they take American
silver coin at ninety eight and
ninetv-nine cents. 1t is stated
that the present Mexican dollar
is less fine than formerly issued.
1t is, however, seven per cent
heavier than the American dol
lar. Mexican dollars are quoted
at pinety-one cents gold in New
York. The reason Tor the de-
probation OF Mexican coin seems
to be involved in some mystery,
as there are conflicting views as
to the cause.

On Saturday night last
Mr.. Samuel Swift had an a.lvcn
tire near Turtle creek, in Dallas
county. he was on his way to
Dallas, when he was invited to
halt by two masked men, who
drew a bead on him with tes-
tive revolver. A few kind words
accompanied by an admonition
induced Mr.. Swift to entl.ust
some two hundred dollars in
currency to their keeping. He
had but little confidence in
their honesty, but under the
circumstances surrounding him
at the time, he thought it the
best thing he could do with his
money. The men were total
strangers TO him.
