The Mints and the Silver Bill.

DR.. Linderman, director of the United States
mints, has been questioned in regard TO the
Capacity of the mints to fulfil the requirements
of the silver bill. The three mints OF the
United States, he said, at Philadelphia, San
Francisco and Carson City, would probably be
able to run out Sl,000,000 in the new COINS dur
,'Ug the first mouth after the passage OF the bill.
IN the second month the number OF dollars
col ped would probably be increased to s., ,000,
OO). while thereafter maximum rate of COIN
age of $3,O0O.000 month would probably be
Daring the first year $50 0O0 900 of the new
dollars would be coined. The necessary amount
of gold coinage could be combined, and the sub
sidiary silver coins also be got out as rapidly as
hitherto Between S5,000,O 900 and 5000, 900 in
subsidiary silver coins are scill to Oe produced
uuder the order issued by the Secretary of the
Treasury during Grants administration.
Two designs have already been made for the
new dollar. Both are very pretty, and the few
new coins that have been struck in the mint for
the benefit of the congressional com mittees are
exceedingly attractive 10 appearance. The OBJ

To the Polls.

The municipal election to-day is an impor-
tant event to the city and should not be neg
lected by good citizens. We have as candi.
dates for the chief municipal office two gen.
tlemen of unexceptionable character and good
repute, but with widely differing qualifica-
tions. Mr.. Walker, the Democratic candi-
date, is lawyer of good standing and very
agreeable gentleman socially. He is recent
acquisition to Portland, having arrived some
thing over two years ago. He has always
lived in country village and has no
familiarity with our city affairs. 1t would
take him at least year to learn how to do
our business and the city would have to pay
for his tuition. He would make first
rate selectman for East Machias and will
probably do very well as Mayor of Portland
after he has lived here long enough. Besides
this he is Democrat of the old school, dyed
in the wool, which in itself is reason enough
why he should not be elected. On the other
hand we have Mr.. Butler, Republican, with
record of good service behind him, thor
ough familiarity with our condition, wants
and resources, and a resolute determna-
ton to conduct .he city affairs in pru-
dent manner BETTING the times and cir
cumstances. Can there be any doubt as to
the duty of good citizens in this matter?
Clear as the case is, however, the result is
not so certain as it should be. The Demo-
Gratis are making great efforts to bring sup
port to their candidate. Many naturalza-
tions have been effected, and large additions
made to the voting lists from among the for
eign population. If Mr.. Butler is elected it
must be done chiefly by Republicans. The
"citizens'" nomination amounts to but
little. Respectable Democrats will vote
for Mr.. Butler, but the number of this class
is not great. Republicans must do 1t and it
behooves them to take pains to be at the
polls and labor to get out large vote. Al
most everybody has some influence beyond
his own vote and it is a good time now to ex-
ert it. Give some hours to- oday to the cause
of good, faithful, economical and intelligent
government.
Nor should the matter of the City Council
men be neglected. Great efforts will be made
by the Democrats to capture enough wards to
give them preponderanse in the city govern
ment. Particularly is this the case in wards
/ and 6. Republicans should rally heartily to
the support of their candidates. 1t would be
serious misfortune to, have the city pass 10
the control Of the Democrats. If they have
majority of the Board of Aldermen, expert
ence teaches what use they will make of the
voting lists in future elections. 1t is not safe
to risk it. 1t is well worth while to take
pains to prevent it.

TODAY is the one-hundredth anniversary Of
the birth of Robert Emmett, the Irish patriot.
Not yethas the time come for his epitaph to be
written; but the Irish people still keep in
memory the brave words with which he
closed his death-song: "Let no man write
my eptaph for as no man who knows my
motives dare noao vindicate them, let not pre-
judice or ignorance asperse them. Let them
and me rest in obscurity and peace. and my
tomb remain uninscribed until other times
and other men can do Justice to my character
When my country takes her place among the
nations of the earth, then, and not till then,
let my epitaph be written. have done."
