must be fully made known.-Infu
ences are at work that in all prob
ability will bring up the price OF silver to
equality with that of gold under the United
States ratio. One of these is the cnange in
policy Of Germany. Anotheris the demand
for silver in Austria and Italy. Still another
the call for silver in China to pay for silks
and tea. II TO this is added better tunes in
India, our silver difficulty will evaporate.-
The Baldwin murder mystery is again
agitated, but the solution seems as far of
as ever. 1t is difficult to see how MIR. Peter
Schwab can be mistaken about seeing
Baldwin at the Vine-street Opera.

sons believed to be thoroughly reliable.
Some simple circumstance may yet ap-
pear explaining all-penetrating the dark
hess OF the mystery W tn steady beam of
| light, and there should be no relaxation OF
effort. If the Police Ring. representing
every form of dishonesty, could be swept
out of the way, the Baldwin murder and
other dark spots in the history of the city
might be made clear. DO persons VIII, are
abusing the Secretary of the Interior for
his Indian policy, realize that he has, by
causing Sitting Bull to become and declare
himself a British subject, saved the coun'
try an expense that would have amounted
to millions? Sitting Bull was interned and
belongs to Her Majesty. Take the case ol
the Utes. The tirmness OF the Secretary
in restraining military operations saved the

and the procrastination of negotiations

The Enquirer says: Chattanooga is the
Gus of great railroad system converging
from the South; Cincinnati is the focus Of
great railroad system converging from the
North. The Cincinnati Southern Road
brings Chattanooga, with her many fingers
of railroads, close to the door of this city.
1t was built by Cincinnati and tor Cincin-
natl, but it is equally for the benefit of the
Southern people. This road places Chatta-
nuoga only ten hours away from Cincn-
natl, and the management can afford to
carry passengers for about one-half what it
sgow costs by any other line. The fare for
passengers between Chattanooga and Gin
cinnati can easily be made $40,
which would be little more than
half the present rate by any other
line. and a corresponding difference can
easily be made in freight rates. Already
there is evidence that lhe.Cincinnati South
ern Railroad has the regard and the prefer
ence of the Suut"ern people. Our special
| from Atlanta this morning announces that
the Georgia Central Road has Withdrawn
the proposition for lease made TO Messrs.
Cole and Brown. and that the management
of this road, in connection Nita Mr. Cole,
are looking to an alliance with the Cincin-
natl Southern. This shuts out the Louis
vile and Nashville interest from hoped for
avenues to the South and the sea but it is
chiefly impor ant as Indicating the temper
Of the Southern people toward the Cincin-
natl Southern Railroad.
The Gazette saws: A bill has been intro
duced into the Ohio Legislature allowing
women to vote for School Trustees, and
making them eligible to the office. This is
a good measure and it onght to pass 1t
would te especially valuable in suburban
villages, where the men visit the city daily
and Consequently have few opportunities
to visit the schools, the latter being run
almost exclusively by the teachers, with
out personal supervision. TO secure the
services of intelligent women as School
Trustees would be decided improve

in the talk about State lines in connection
with the selection of candidates for

always the right man. no matter where
he may have been born or
where he happens to live. Ohio has fur.
nished many prominent n ell for high
places, not because it was Ohio, but BE-
cause it had the men.-In laying plans and
discussing candidates for the future it is
not safe to overlook or ignore the lessons
Of the past The people have not changed
materially in four years. Sentiments that
influenced many Of tleM in 1876 will infu-
ence quite us many in 1880. The contest in
1876 was close and we must not run he
risk of being deceived by surposing it may
not be as close in 1880. A very small per-
centage OF the vote in many of the States
changed fr"m one side to the other, would
have reversed the result in 1876. There
is large class of voters who do not strictly
belong to any party, and who will vote for
the man their judgment most approves,
and who will be largely governed by the
character of the candidate as written in his
record. The great mass OF the party will
support the nominee, whoever he may be;
but there is percentage that will not be
magnetized into party blindness. The first
duty Of Republicans, therefore, Is to send
delegates to the Convention who will be
governed more by sober seriousness than by
sentiment. and who will be capable of esti-
mating the strength OF the candidates and
choosing the strongest, without regard to
preconceived opinions or State lines
