THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF
VICTORY.

The republicans of Tennessee
have great reason to rejoice over
their victory of last Tuesday. They
have accomplished all, if not more
than all they had hoped for. With
a governor ssof their own selection,
and SO near, if not quite major
ity in the legislature, they must
not, in the hour of their
rejoicing, forget that victory brings
with it greatly increased response
bilities. For the next two years
they will be largely responsible for
the conduct of the state govern
ment. Democracy has been thor-
oughly tried for the last ten years
and found wanting, and that party
leaves our state affairs in such a
condition that it is stencil in the
nostrils of honest men everywhere.
Our credit, once second to that of
no state in the union, could scarcely
be worse than at the present time.
Republication has held high carnival
throughout the state. Democracy
has toyed with it, nurtured it and
given it aid and comfort. While
apparently afraid to assume the re-
sponSibility of its execution, yet
without sufficient principle, honor
or honesty to enable themselves to
push aside the temptation.
With this state of facts existing,
republicans have fine field open to
them. Let them not fail to improve
it. 1t is o matter of but little mo>
ment to the people of this state
whether democrats or republicans
draw the pay and hold the Offices
if nothing is done to promote the
prosperity of the state. We hold
that republicsnism means honest
government, an honest settlement
of our state debt, and proper re
gard for the rights of our who'll
people. Undoubtedly the first ant
most pressing question to come ~
is the settlement of the state debt
That this is difficult problem W,
we'll know, but difficult as it is, i
must be met and solved some time
and why not now? Republican,
are by principle and profession op
posed to reputation in any an,
every form. We must put our

Plethora Of Silver.
lilE TREASURY VAULTS FILLING UP TILL
STORAGE ROOM BECOMES
SERIOUS QUESTION,
ICinCillllati Gazette.

The Treasury Department officials
are perpleXcd as to What disposition to
make OF the standard silver dollars ac-
cumulating SO rapidly in the Treasury
Congress was asked at the late session
for an appropriation sufficient to con-
struct new vaults in which to store
these dollars, but the relief asked was
not granted, and now Treasurer Giltillan
is troubled to find storage room. The
Assistant Treasurer at San Francisco
sent word here, that the vault at the
Snb-Ileasury there was Over-crowded,
and that some place must be provided
for the silver. All efforts to force these
dollars into circulation have failed, and
no sooner does the Government pay
out silver than it comes back into the
Treasury for duties or to continue to
exchange silver for silver certificates.
VI the 60,0O0,0O0 OF standard dollars
coined only $4,000, 600 are in circulation,
the remaining S44, 100000 being locked
up IN the Treasury vaults. In the face
turning out about So 800, 900 each month.
Mr.. Burchard, Director of the Mint.
construes the law requiring not less than
100000 standard dollars to be coined
each month as necessitating the pur-
chase of S2,000,0O0 worth OF bullion and
the coming of this into standard dollars.
As $4,000 10 will buy enough to coin
S2,300,00O of standard dollars, the mini
mum fixed by Congress is exceeded to
the extent of 100000 dollars each month.
Treasurer Giltillan maintains that the
law only requires the coming each
month of enough bullion to make 2,OOO,-
900 standard dollars, and differs with
MIR. Burchard, the Director of the Mint,
as to the proper construction of the
silver law. The latter persen, however,
being Il silverite, places the most liberal
construction upon the law and persists
in coming the Sa,000,000 worth of silver
bullion.
Treasurer Giltillan said to-day that
he did not see how storage capacity
could be provided for the ten to twelve
million OF standard dollars that Wcull
be coined before Congress again cen
venes.

4 Spanish peasant, living in the sub
nr6s of Madrid, had long been in the
habit OF repairing daily to the city, ac-
companied by donkey laden with milk
for distribution among certain CUSTOM
e:s. One day, however, the master was
taken i'll, whereupon his wife suggested
that the ass should be sent on his Gus
tomary journey alone. The panniers
were accordingly filled with cans of
milk as usual, and bit Of paper was at
taclled to the donkey's headstall request
ing the customers to help themselves to
their ordinary allowance of milk, and
to put back the cans into the pannier.
Off started the donkey, and lie returned
in duo course with the cans empty and
with everything in order. The master
found upon inquiry that the trusty
messenger had called at the right doors
without missins; one. and also that in
some instances he had pulled the bell
with his teeth. when kept waiting. From
that Gay forward the donkey has gone
his rounds alone.

THE NEWEST RELIGION.

Last week the New Religion said Of
Garfield that he il "a man suspected OF
the most dishonnrable transactions, nay
more, proved guilty Of them By a COn-
gressional COMMITTEE" and the Hrss
hereupon accused the Norway semi-oc-
casionally- religious weekly Of bearing
false witness against its neighbor. This
week the New Religion evades the aecu-
sation--it does not attempt reply--and
quotes from the Sutterances of some Re
publican papers in 1878. Its silence is
virtually withdrawal of the charge
made that General Garfield was proved
guilty of the most dishonorable transac-
tons by a Congressional committee. Z
But silence is not enough. In this
case it is suppression of the truth-a
deed sometimes as malicious and wicked
as the bearing of false witness. The
only Congressional Committee ever called
to sit in judgment upon General Garfield
or his acts was the famous Poland Com
mittee which Investigated the Credit
Mobilier. That committee, made up OF
two Democrats, two Republicans and one
Greeley Liberal, UNANIMOUSLY presented
after careful investigation and full hear
ing Of testimony, report which recon-
mended the expulsion of two members OF
the House of Representatives, and said
in regard to six members who had been
accused of ong-doing in connection
with the Credit Mobilier:
The committee do not find that either OF
the above named gentlemen, in contracting
with Mr.. Ames, had any corrupt motive or
purpose or WAS aware that Mr. Ames had
any: nor did either of them suppose that
he was guilty of any mproprgty or even
indelicacy in becoming purchaser OF this
stock The committee have not been able
10 Ind that any OF these members or Con-
gress have been affected In their Official ac-
ton in consequence OF their interest In
Credit Mobilier stock. The committee find
nothing in the conduct of either Of these
members in taking this stock that calls for
ans recommendation by the committee.
That is the verdict of the Poland COM
mi,tee One of the six members acquit-
ted by the verdict is General Garfield.
That is the Committee, instead of prov
Ing him guilty of the most dishonorable
transactions, unanimously report that he
was no; guilty. This verdict the Ne,r
Religion, in common with other Demo
cratic papers, deliberately suppresscs. 1t
makes the assertion that he was accused
of corrupt practices by The committee.
but persisiently refuses 10 pablish the
verdict OF aoquittal. This suppression OF
the truth in order 10 aid SANDER is a bad
thing for the secular press to do. What

fesscdly religious paper we leave our

G. A. r.

Shortly after the war there were large
number of Posts of the Grand Army of
the Republic. established all over the
country, but as was n,tural, the martial
spirit which led. to their organization,
soon faded. and the Posts were reduced
to a small number. At this date, suffi-
Gent time has elapsed TO render the expe-
riences of army life a pleasant remem-
brance of the past. As result, old
soldiers are again associating themselves
together to talk over and live over the
experiences OF the past. New Posts are
being established all over the State, and
renewed interest is being manifested In
their work.
We are informed by Capt. A. 5. Per-
ham Of Lewiston, who Is A. ID. L. and
Chief of Staff, that while the order Is
growing all over the country. Oxford
County does not sustain single Post.
This is not because we lack in numbers
of ex-soldiers, but because for some rea-
son, they have not vet had their interest
sufficiently aroused. 1t is proposed by
the Department of Maine to have a lee
turer visit Oxford County and set forth
some of the aims of the organization.
We trust that the ex-soldiers of this
county will make the effort necessary to
secure several Posts. and thus entitle the
county to representation in one Of the
most noble orders of the country.
A recent Lewiston journal has the
following relative to the matter:
The Grand Army has never, since its
organization, been in better condition than
today. Large additions are being made to
its membership throughout the country,
aud much enthusiasm, largely due TO the
efforts or department commander l. ).
Bangs OF Wateryille, is being manifested
throughout our State, new posts being
organized almost weekly. Capt. Perham
OF this city, has general supervision OF the
work OF organization. As the order be-
comes better understood, and IL is known
that il Is in no sense a. some have charged
political organization, II being forbidden
to even discuss politics in any form in its
meetings, and that IL is the only fraternal
