Initiating the Presidency.

As the West believes that the
chief need of business is more dol
lars, so Mr.. Southland holds that
what our politics needs is more Pres
idents. Every Western statesman
knows men who have no dollars and
other men who have too many, and
desires to benefit mankind by max
ing dollars enough to go around, and
keeping some of them out of the
hands of men who have too many al
ready. This latter is the hardest
part of his problem, but he has Crap
pied with it manfully, and with a
promise of partial success. If this
thing will work with dollars, why
not with Presidents. That is what
Mr.. Southland wants to know. If we
can issue a President made out of
thirty-three and third per cent, of

TON SCOTS PROJECT.

The Committee of the House on
Pacific Railroads has decided by
vote of Z to 6 to report favorably
bill aiding Tom Scottis Pacific Rail
road. The bill made the basis of the
committee bill IS that introduced by
Alexander II. Stephens, which is one
of the most moderate bills proposed.
The action of the committee excitos
little interest, from the belief that
nothing will be done. The commit
tee cannot report for some time, since
there are more than 80 committees
te be called before it is reached, and
month, perhaps two months, will
be consumed before the bill can be
brought into the House. If this Con-
gress is ever to engage in serious bus
mess, it ought to begin by that time,
considering that no appropriation bill
Is yet passed, that the tariff bill Will
then be presenting itself, and politics
will yet claim good deal of atten
ton. Mr.. Scott's bill will run count.
er to good many opposing infu'
ences, and action will be taken, if al
all, in the hurly-burly of the latter
end of the session. 1t may stand q
better chance then than now. The
only danger of the bill passing arises
from yet possible union of the rival
railroad interests. That seems now
impossible, OUt may be forced by
possible action on the bills relating tc
the pro rate aud refunding PROPOSE
tions. At present no one believe,
that the subsidy viii receive favora
bic action.

During the progress of these sales
a doubt was suggested as to the coin
in which the payment of these bonds
would be made. The public an
nouncement was thereupon author
lied that it was not to be anticipated
that any farther legislation of Con-
gress, or any action of any depart
ment of the Government, would
sanction or tolerate the redemption
of the principal of these bonds or
the payment of the interest tnerson
in coin or less value than the coin
authorized by law at the time.of the
issue of the bonds, heing the coin
exacted by the Government in ex-
change for the same. In view of
thes3 facts it viii Justly be regarded
as 4 grave breach of public faith to
undertake 10 pay these bonds, prin-
cipal or interest, in silver coin worth
in the market less than the coin re-
ceived for them. II is said that the
silver dollar made legal tender by
this act will, under its operation, be
equivalent in value to the gold dol
lar. Many supporters of the bill be-
lieve this, and would not justify an
attempt to pay debts, either public
or private, in coin of inferior value
to the money of the world. The
capital defect of the bill is that 1t
contains no provision protecting
from It's operation pre-existing debts
in case the coinage which it creates
shall continue to be of less value
than that which was the sole legal
tender when they were contracted.
If it is now proposed, for the pur-
pose of taking advantage of the de
probation of silver in payment of
debts, to coin and make legal ten
der silver dollar of less commercial
value than arg dollar, whether of
gold or paper, which is now the
lawful money of this country, such a
measure, it will be hardly question
ed, will in the judgment of mankind
be an act of bad faith as to all debts
heretofore contracted. The silver
dollar should be made a legal tender
only at its market value. The stand
ard of value should not be changed
without the consent of both parties
to the contract. National promises
should be kept with unfinching fl
deity. There is no power to com
pei nation to pay its just debts,
Its credit depends on its honor. The
nation owes what it has led or allow.
ed its creditors to expect. cannot
approve bill which in my judgment
authorizes the violation of sacred OBJ
legation. The obligations of public
faith transcend all questions of profit
or public advantage. Its unques
tionable maintenance is dictate al
well of the highest expedisncy as Of
the most necessary duty, and should
ever be carefully guarded by the ex
ecutive, by Congress and by the peo
pie. 1t is my firm conviction that i
the country is to be benefited by sill
yer coinage, it can be done only by
the issue of silver dollars of full val
ne, which will defraud no man. A
currency worth less than it purport
TO be worth will in the end defrau(
not only creditors, but all who ar,
engaged in legitimate business, anC
no one more surely than those wh'
are dependent on their daily labo
for their daily bread. Signed

PEACE m CUBA AFLAST.

The Cuban insurrectionists, after
a ten years. struggle for ''Free Gu
ba," during which nearly the entire
island has become dssolate waste,
have given up as bad job and ac-
ceptsd Alfonso's invitation to come
back under the old flag. Had the
United States given them the least
encouragement, the result possibly
might have been otherwise. But
Grants administration turned the
cold shoulded on them, and they re-
csived little sympathy and no mater
ial aid from sources to which they
had looked pleadingly. The late
Gerrit Smith was among the few
Americans whose heart throbbed,
and whose purse strings were relax
ed, for them. The instruction long
since dwindled to a sort of brigand-
age. 1t Is fortunate for all that 1t Is
ended at last. A Havana letter, dat
ed FEBRUARY 2Sd, says: "The insur-
gent chiefs having submitted 10 the
terms offered by the Spanish Gov
ernment, the restoration of peace
may be regarded as an accomplished
fact. The 25th of February has been
designated as the date on which the
insurgents shall lay down their arms,
and on the 28th peace will be official
ly proclaimed" General Gonzales, of
the Spanish army, arrived in New
York Wednesday night, from Ha-
vana, as commissioner to treat with
the Cuban Junta on terms of peace.
With peace restored, Cuba will en-
ter on new career.

The new silver dollar is to be Of
''haadsome device" and will be ready for
distribution in about a fortnight. They
are described by the Director of the Mint
as follows:
The diverse of the coin bears
free cut head of Liberty crowned
with Phrygian cap, decorated with
wheat and cotton, the staples of
the country; the legend "E Pluri-
bus Unum;n thirteen stars; and
the year of coinage. On the re-
verse, surrounded by an olive
wreath, is an eagle with outspread-
ing wings, bearing in his talons a
branch of olive and a bundle of
arrows, emblems of peace and war;
the inscriptions, sU. S. of Ameri-
ca" and one dollar" and the mot
to, "In God we trust" This spe-
cimen, while it possesses all the re-
quirements of law and device and
superscription, has been selected
not only for the beauty of its de-
sign, but also for the exceptionally
low relief of the devices, insuring
protection from abrasion and ena-
bling them to be brought up in
striking a minimum pressure.

IF our Legislature would spend
less time providing needy Demo
Gratis with little offices, and concen-
trate its energies in an honest effort
to rs-adjust the fee and salary al
lowances of officials, and thereby
largely lessen public expenses, the
people would be willing, after the
passage of the necessary appropri-
alton bill, to have both Houses
adjourn sine die. But that is ex-
pecting too much of Democratic
General Assembly.
