however. was only one of long series OF
disasters to the Republican cause. The Name
Senator has been repeatedly crushed during
the extra session; according to the llveiy ana
variegated authorities already referred to he
is reduced, about every second or th1rd uay,
TO a state of disgusting limpness which Would
make rag look stalwart by contrast. Mr..
Coullling has been crushed almost out OF the
semblance of humanity. General Garfield
has been crushed TO such an extent that
il would have been more merciful to 0Dlltera'e
him entirely. And strange to say, the process
in every case has been described as exceed
ipply dull. The stupidity of the debates has
been lamentod by all the Democratic journal
lists in the same breath with their shouts OF
victory: and if we can believe what they tell
MS there has not been a lively passage OF
words at the Capitol, an interesting discussion OF
principles and historic facts, contest for intel
lectual preGmnence, since Congress came to-
gether. Every day of discussion has been
"dul!.r and as the invariable result, the
Republicans are reported to be greatly dls-
"appointedr Nor is it only in the contests
of rhetoric that the Democracy has been We
torious. This miraculously able party is per-
petually placing Its opponents IN the
most painful and ridiculous dilemmas.
The failure of the Appropriation bills at the
last session reduced the Republicans to
perplexities quite awful. The calling OF the
extra session doubled their trouble. The IN
corporation of the free fraud clause with the
Army bill was master stroke of bedeviment !;
and the Radicals were finally so bothered and
A.. hot fhn IL
journals could not contain their laughter.
Surely no political party was ever put into
such iix before.
Yet. strange to say, the Republicans keep
straight on exactly as if they had won the
advantage i'll every trial, and the Democrats
conduct themselves rs if they had lost it.
Point by point the Bourbons yield all the
positions they assumed at tine beginning Of the
struggle. They have abandoned their declared
purpose TO stop the Government if they were
not allowed to have their own way. They
have abandoned their scheme to cOerce
the President by means of riders on
The appropriation bills. There are in
dications that they have nearly made
up their minds TO let the election laws
alone; and they are by no means so well sat-
lHiltu WIN lhC appearance VI 'i.N A'N"N
they have placed "before the country" as
they professed TO be ten days ago. BY the
first Of June they will all be back at the
starting point, counting the cost OF cam
paign which may be described as a slow but
very noisy advance, and an immediate and very
quick retreat. And then perhaps we shall be
able to determine how many champions have
been crushed, and who they are.
New-York tribune., 1879-05-21

coinage will think that the action of the House
does not show a disposition to repuulate
honest obligations, public or private. we
shall see about that when the question goes
TO the people for discussion. The cool Repub-
Tcan leaders have seen the precise line when
separates honest from dishonest remonetlza-
ton of silver. 1t is one question whether III
honest silver dollar ought to be coined III thiS
country. 1t is another and very different
question whether q dishonest silver dollar
ought to be coined, aud forced by law
upon public and private creditors. Nhen the
smoke of ,he combat has blown away, The Dem
ocrats will find that more than nine-tenths OF
them have irrevocably and Enthusiastically COM
mitted themselves to the coinage OF us
honest dollar, with no possibility OF benefit
20 the Government, with the certainty that
ultimate reconciliation Of silver, If desirable,
would thereby be retarded, and with the
knowledge that creditors all over the Iahd
would thereby be robbed The argument
will come hereafter, and more than enough oi
it for the demagOgUes who have insisted upon
this measure of bad faith.
For the radical characteristic of Democratic
action, in this as in other important matters
is that it has been based upon the notion that
the people of this country have neither sense
nor honesty. Undoubtedly. there was very
strong desire for restoration of silver coin
ace last year. Whether it was mistaken, as
we then urged, or was reasonable and just
this at least is certain. that the feeling
has greatly diminished since the people
have learned by practical experience
what silver coinage is and what resump-
ton of specie payments means. we nave
reached resumption, and find that il hurts no
one. On the contrary, it brings swift ana
strong revival of business and industry. And
we have tried silver coinage, and find that
nobody wants the silver who can get green
back which is as good as gold. The situation
has changed. Advocates of RECOMMENDATION
now see, too, that coinage Of silver by TINS
country only encourages the opponents OF
reconciliation in Europe. They see that
n larger and less restricted coinage here would
only take from Europe greater part OF Its
surplus silver, to our loss and to the gam OF
Europeans. In a word, the silver furor has
obafed. Men begin TO think calmly about the
matter. But the Democrats, fancylng that
the people are stupid enough to prefer II
foolish thing, and dishonest enough to prefer
q general robbery of creditors, still insist
mon wider coinage Of Gcbased silver dollars.
Some are mere demagOSues, who aim to
please the basest clements. Some are
bankrupts, who want to pluIHler cred
itors. Some are repudatOrs, who want to
strike down the public credit But, be their
motives what they may, they are on record
at last. They want a silver dollar an unlim-
tied coinage Of silver, coinage in which the
bullion holder shall be enabled to fleece both
the Government and every creditor, and a
coinage by which the public credit may be as
much as possible destroyed. They are to be
defeated, and by the Republican party. And
then they are TO answer to the people for
tLaIr acts

CLOSE or THE AFGHAN WAR.

One of Lord Beaconsiicld's wars has been
cut short While military operations in SOnth
Africa are still dragging on, peace has been
dictated in Afghanistan. The last campaign
in that quarter cost as much as $75,000,0OO,
and ended ingloriously. The British are luekier
this time. Yakoob Khan has sued for peace
before the Indian Exchequer is squeezed dry.
The conditions of peace have not been an
nounced with precision, but it is clear that
the Viceroy has made a good bargain. Jela-
labad and Candahar are not to be
permanently occupied by the conqucrorS, but
the valleys where the three invading columns
have been encamped are virtually annexed to
India. The famous Khybcr Pass becomes
British outpcst the Khurum and
Khost Valleys are converted into Indian
rranaries. and an intrenched camp is
established within four days march
of the Ameers capital; and the main
gateway in the mountains between Quettah
and Candahar is to be fortified and
gar1isoned. These are positive gains. British
ascendancy is restored in the neutral zone
between India and TUkestan and frontier
which Lord Beaconsicd viii cOmplacently
accent as entirely scientific has been secured.
In this way a war of which English
men had already grown weary is brought TO a
close in good season, and these accessiOnS
of territory are prima facie evidence that it
has not been a wholly Improbable undertake
ing The campaign has been well planned
and boldly executed, and while the enemy's
capital has not been occupied, the cOnquerOrs
have made peace on their own terms, and ac-
complished all they sought to do. The Rus
sian intrigue at Cabul has been brought TO
naught, and Great Britain has acquired new
prestige as an Asatic Power.
These are immediate gains. On the other
hand grave responsibilities have been in
Cured. The domestic relations of the Afghan
tribes must heDcefOrth be controlled by Brit
ish agents at Cabul and Candahar The
Ameer, who has made peace with the
British commanders, must be kept upon
the throne, and if his rivals as
pire to the succession and offer resistance
they must be crushed by Sopoy battalions.
Afghanstan, with It's warlike tribes and the
facilities which it offers for Russian intrigue,
must be regarded as prospective province
TO be administered in the interests of Great
Britain, whose shoulders are already over
weighted with the burdens of the worlds
government.

SILTER ~ TIE HOUSE.


1t makes no difference now what the House
does with the Silver bill and other measures
affecting the currency That body has per-
formed its part. Its mission was to prove
that the Democratic party, as a body, was in
favor of defrauding public creditors in almost
every conceivable method and that the Re
publican party, as a body, was hostile to bad
money and bad faith in every form. The
votes on the various amendments to the Sill
yer bill have placed both parties on the
record. There will be no difficulty,
at any future time, in fixing the char
acter9 of either party with reference TO
resumption, the payment of the public
debt, the maintenance of honest money, or the
plunder of the public for the benefit of bull
lion dealers and mine-Owners. The Rcpubli-
cans Of the House, with few exceptions, have
done their duty. They have discussed the
question ably, and have forced yea and nay
votes upon the vital amendments That the
bill would be beaten, sooner or later by a
Presidential veto if not by majority In either
House, few have doubted. But 1t was i'm
pOrtant to fix the position of Democratic men,
bers, and this has been done. The party of
revolution will now go into the next campaign
as the party of reputation also.

The Warner Silver bill has not been de-
feated, for it has not yet reached final vote,
but it has suffered a hard blow, aud one OF
its most obnoxious features has been fairly
nulhfed. An attempt to lay the bill upon the
table was defeated by majority of four votes,
and the hopes of tho silver inhatiOnists were
correspondngly raised. An amendment by Mr..
Fort to the third section which was designed
TO win over moderate silver men from the
Republican side to the support of the bill,w
defeated by the joint efforts OF hard
money men, and sOft-mOney men for whom 1t
was not sufficiently radical The obnoxious
third section was then adopted by majority
of three votes. An amendment by Mr.. Marsh,
which provided that the coinage charges
shall be the difference between the market
value of the bullion and the legal-tender
value of the coin, and would thus practi-
cally prevent the deposit Of bullion
at the mints for coinage, was adopted. how
ever, by a vote of 1T TO 105, and the hard
money men of both parties hailed this with
delight as real victory. The effect OF this
amendment is to rob the bill of much OF its
power for evil, and its opponents are conf
dent that they can defeat the measure if all
the absentees are brought back. We repeat
our former appeal TO every member OF the
House, now absent from his seat, who wishes
TO frustrate this disgraceful silver scheme to
return at once to Washington.
