THE INTER OCEAN would modestly
inquire of Geo. William Curtis about
how much horror will result to him,
personally, and how much discredit
will attach to "civil service reform"
if Collector or Postmaster of New
York or Chicago shall happen to mix
little in politics? The President and
Attorney General are in the Northwest
making capital campaign speeches, to
be published as campaign documents;
the Secretary of the Treasury has been
in Ohio, with figures, and statistics,
and arguments unauswerable; the Sec
rotary of State looking after the Allan.
tic, and the Postmaster General the
Pacific coast. The Secretary Of the
Navy is making the Indiana woods
ring with his eloquence, while the Sec
rotary of War, true to his convictions,
arouses the enthusiasm Of Iowa, the
banner State of Republicanism.

Colonel j. R. Brook. of the Third
Infantry, reports to military headquar-
ters, writing from Marias river, that he
has returned from the reconnaissance
north of the Bear Paw Mountains. and
that the site which lie, acting under
the commission, has selected for the
proposed new military post in that part
of Montana, is on Beaver creek, near
its mouth, or juction, with Milk river.
This new post will be quite an import
ant one, as the Congressional appropri-
alton for it amounts to 100000.
The recent orders of the Treasury
Department with reference to the dis
tribution of standard silver dollars will
add materially to the business of the
express companies, and the transporta-
ton of the coin to the various Sub.
Treasures will cost the Government
quite large sum. The weight of one
million silver dollars is over twenty six
tons, and the payment in silver of one
days customs duties would average
about 5000 pounds, or fifteen tons of
standard silver dollars, should the coin
be placed in actual use for the pay
ment Of these duties

THE Milwaukee Sentinel advises
"honest Republicans to support sun
principled and dangerous Democrats
and Greenbackers" in preference to
'such political gamblers as Reyes,
Williams and Caswell."
This moves the Madison Journal to
say that sit is evident that the Repub.
iesp party in the State must Hve IN
spite of the Sentinel, if it survive at
all. 1t is clearly doing good work for
the Democracy" We trust the Senti-
mel is satisfied with the distinction it is
achieving as Republican paper. To
be condemned by its own party organs,
and patted on the back by the Madison
Democrat and other opposition jour
mails must be gratifying to it-over the
left.

The ST. Louis Globe Democrat oi
the i4th inst. figures out the new Con.
gress as follows:
The Democrats strained every nerve
to carry a majority OF The States in the
House. hoping thereby to be able to
elect the next President In the event
of failure to make a choice in the
Electoral Colleges. In this they have
failed. The parties will stand tied In
the next House, according TO the lat
est reports, allowing that Indiana will
go Democratic. This, however, is un-
likely, as the delegation from that
State stands four Republicans, four
Dem ocrats and one Greenbacker. II
the Green hacker stands out, the State
would have no vote in the election of
q President. Even If he should vote
with the Democrats il would not ena-
6le that party to elect, as they would
still only tie the Republicans. With
the exception Of Indiana and Oregon,
there Is solid North arrsyed against
a solid South in the House, taking
the vote by States. This is a signifi-
rant fact. and there is little doubt that
If Indiana and Oregon were to elect
tomorrow, they would take their
proper places In the Republican col

The result in this county had no

The Lincoln Globe Is of that class
with which the republican party is
cursed. and probably will be so long
as 1t is the majority party. They are
the "anti' class. They are always
"apti'-always on the ''against" side.
They are always for chauge-always
for a new man. The reason is that no
man holding any respectable official.
position could afford to counteuancet
in any way that kind of material.
Hence they are always for change.
for they have nothing to lose by any
change.
AS Mr.. Paddock's serm is the next
to expire, he /. now the target at
which these gunners aim their hre:
He is to be howled down. That k!no
of war was successful in the Hitch
cock fight and these gentlemen think

fair play-to judge him by his acts

The Silver Question Again.

1t seems that the reconciliation oi
silver dollars does not settle that ques-
ton, but the repeal of the bill is de-
nLanded in ihe East, and the new
Congress is to have its time engrossed
by that question. The Chicago Ne,OS,
regarding this matter, says:
Probably the first question to come
up in Congress upon It's reassembling
Will be the subject of silver. Tue
leading Eastern journals have already
opened the debate upon it; they are
generally in favor OF demOnetiziDg il.
Ii is also stated that the President and
Secretary Sherman will both recon-
mend to Congress that either silver
be demonetized or that its coinage be
stopped, which would amount to the
same thing.
To add to the complications the
question begins to present. a cable
gram states that the Latin Union has
resolved to indefinitely suspend its
coinage: another informs US that the
Government of British India has
come to the determination to make
gold the standard and silver merely 4
subsidiary coinage, and also to pro-
hibit the importation of bar silver in
to the country.
The effect of these acts OF legislation
must be to depress the price of silver
and enhance the value of gold: for
the reason that the fall of one is the
rise of the other. the purchasing pow
er of one being depressed by the en-
hancement of that of the other. This
tendency of the value of the metals
to diverge Is also being intensified BY
the efforts of the banking institutions
OF the great States to obtain sufficient
amounts eff gold to meet the inevita-
BILE demand which is gradual hnt sure
enhancement is creating. This fem
dency has. however. been checked to
a considerable extent in some nations

two years since. was from So. .OOO, ,OOO

past two years her actual loss has been
S35. .000, 900. In order TO make up for
this loss, and prevent the drain in the
future. the Bank of England has for
come time past been making money
dear and other property cheap by
raising the rate of interest. The ef-
fects Of this policy, if persevered in,
must he to depress the value of every
thing we have to sell to her, and also
to enable her to manufacture goods
cheaper than ever, and which will
come into competition with those of
the United States and the continent
of Europe.
The competition OF the United
States for gold for resumption purpos-

value, and, of course, corresponding

demand for gold has been, as the New
York Financial Chronicle expresses 1t
to throw Great Britain, 'yes, the
world, into a state of semi-psnic."
1t is in face of such a demand and
appreciation of gold and consequent
depreciation of silver as the above,
that Secretary Sherman is about to
face the facts of resumption. The
intrinsic value of the silver dollar is
now but SIS cents, or IS per cent. be-
low that OF theTgold dollar. If the
silver coinage is continued. it will
eventually bring down the value of
the paper circulation to the bullion
value of silver and drive the gold out

The Augusta (Gs.) Chronicle views
with alarm the attempt to array a sol.
id North against solid South. and
says: 1T cannot be denied that the
South is the bulwark of the
Democratic party, and it is unfor-
tunstely true that this is one object
ionable feature which may make q
Republican President in 1880. seeing
that the Senate and the House will be

The Democrats, no'matter how vio-
lent. who does not condemn tho out
rageous frauds In the South at the late
election. is simply dishonest. If he
is public man, a failure to open his
mouth against such unexsmpled
scoHndreiism is a proof of his own
sympathy with rascalIty, and marks
him as dangerous and unfit man to
hoid position Of honor, trust, or re-
sponsibility.-later Ocean.
That is precisely the way we have
1t put up. No honest man-we do
not say Politician-can apologize for
or defend the Southern Democracy
for their conduct either before the
