New-York tribune., 1878-04-17

we have no doubt is very eXasperatlng 10 some
ardent and enthusiastic temperaments, Dut we uo
not observe that he has yet furIlJhsd gOOd cause
for the party's throwing him overheard" as some
extreme men are urging. That was good ad'ice
given from the parquet to the gallery, on one occa-
sion when scrimmage in the latter attracted the
attention of the house. "Throw him over! throw
him overt" somebody shouted. "Oh no." cried the
voice of mercy from the parquet don't throw MN
over now save him to kill fiddler with" Inc
moral of which is-wel, it relates to the conserVa-
ton and eventual utilization of force, and almost
any one can see how it is without further explana-
tiOn.
We have received through the mails copy OF
pamphlet that discredits its author, and will disturb
many of his friends. The Hon. Elizur Wright has
long been known as q writer of yigOr and audaclty
on life insurance matters. In recent years the bit
terness with which he enfOrces his views has doubt
less nterfered with their acceptance, and he seems
to have been driven the of fashy titles for hIs
productions in the hope to catch the public eye
His last device of this sort borders on profanity
He has issued pamphlet on the cover OF which
there is picture of an insurance building, and the
tide which he furnishes is Church of the Holy
Commissions" y; beneath this is a reference to three
New Testament texts The last page of the cover con-
insurance company; it is headed, Church of the
Holy Commissions in 1877" Whatever information
OF argument the pamphlet may give is likely to be
nullied by this OstentatIous display of rreverence
and disregard of any religious feeling.
1t is well to keep track of Glover. He last came
to the surface week ago with resolution for the
relief Of his experts and clerk, who have just dis
covered after several months labor, that they can't
draw any pay therefor, because they were not first
sworn in as officers of the House. a preliminary
which they did not know was essential Some I'M
pleasant person objected to the consideration OF
the resolution, and 1t went over. We published the
other day, by the way card from Mr.. Glover
correcting with some warmth casual reference
in THE TRIBUNE to Mr. Moore as of his experts,
and stating that Mr.. Moore was not an expert and
had not applied for such employment. We have the
IMPRESSION however, that Mr.. Moore sits with the
committee and assists in the examination of wit
nesses, and is himself on the roll of witnesses,
drawing pay as such for his services. Still we are
always glad to hear from Glover He always has
something new and fresh to communicate.
1t is a long time since advanced economists have
urged the issue of greenbacts to give our cur
rency an "elastic end" to ease the market" to
mitigate "strngency" or to move the crOps' but
the Hon. HendTlck h. Wright has stepped forward
with the familiar project OF issuing rie OF four
hundred millions to "relieye the distress-ot
the laborng classes" Mr.. Wright seems to be a
severe ogican, and he is pursuing the arguments of
his faltering friends to their legitimate conclusions
II Government can give value 10 coin without re- |
gard to its price ms bullion it give value to pa
per or anything else And if Government can eXer-
else this function Of omnpOtence at pleasure, the
sooner it creates and dill'es half billion Of dol
als worth 100 cents apiece the happier we all shall
be.
