4 TEST or DEMOCRATS

General Buffers observations on the currency
question ceased to attract much observation
some years ago. He is far too shrcwd not to
know that his position on that question was de
cidcdly disapproycd by a large majority of the
people. Therefore hc has sought fresh fields
and pastures new, and has based his efforts to
secure popular approval mainly upon subjects
Of very different character. But he has TO
deal with a small faction in Massachusetts that
lacks his common sense. The Grccnbacllcrs
are as stoid as he is shifty, and cling to cx-
plOdcd errors with a pcrtinacity that demon
stTates their inability to reason. Politicians of
General Buffers stamp never try to lift the peo-
pie to their own ideas they seek favor by low
cring themselves to the level of the voters
whose support they want. So General Butler
accepts the GTecnback nomination for Governor
of Massachusetts in letter which ought to cost
him the vote of every self-respecting and clear
headed Democrat in the State
"The grcenback,' he says, has become abso-
lutely the currency of the United States This
is not true. 1t was nearly true before specie re-
sumption, and yet there was in the country be-
fore resumption $27S,OOO,OO0 gold and
100000 silver, against $627, 100000 of
paper money. But there was in the country, Mt
the date of the last annual reports, $780,
0OO, 900 gold, and 1912, 600, 900 silver, against
800 900, 900 of legal tenders and bank notes,
and about SIC, 100000 of silver and gold GER
tifcates-in other words as much coin of all
| kinds as there was paper money of all kinds.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1883-10-17

The change has been exactly the reverse or that
which General Butler, by the use OF tho word
GbecOme,n asserts has taken place. Since the
date OF these reports there has been consider
able increase in the issues of paper certificates
for gold and silver-namely, from about
$70,O00,O00 to $139, 100000; but there has
also been q large increase-just how much Is not
knOwn-in the amount of gold and silver IN use
"True," says the candidate a part OF the
" currency, gold and silver, is in my Judgment
"uselessly piled up in the vaults OF the Treasury,
"but if that was taken away still note OF the
"United States would be just rs good" 1t Is
enough to call the attention Of the voters OF
Massachusetts, to this statement. The Green
hackers among them cannot be expected to
know anything about its truth or falsehOod; II
they knew anything about the money question,
they would tot 6e Greenbackers at this late
day. But there are many Democrats in Massa-
chusetts who do know, as General Butler
knows that removal of only part of the re-
serve from the Treasury would cause an instant
demand for more gold than could be paid, for
nal bankruptcy of the Government, and de-
probation of all the paper money outstanding
to very low figures. There are Democrats who
know, toe, what frightful calamities would befall
the country, and particularly the laboring people
in Massachusetts and elsewhere, IL this should
happen. General Butler may differ widely from
others as to the amount Of reserve that the
Treasury needs to hold in order to make its
notes good by prompt redemption whenever
they are presented. But he knows that some
reserve is necessary, and that the promises to
pay would not be just as good as they are
now if the ability to pay were wholly exhausted.

The victory of the cutter BedOuin over the
celebrated sloop Oracle in the Seawanhaka race
yesterday by no means demonstrated the supe-
riority of the English cutter, because the Bed
ouin is not a cutter of the English type. The
recently launched lleen is the only boat of
that kind which has ever been built in this
country. What the victory does demonstrate,
however, is the ability to lie close to the wind,
the superiority in rough water and the general
desirability of the coming American cutter.

special to the World says "If Sheridan
has not been arrested 1t Is not the fault OF
the State Department. II has done all it
could to meet the demands OF the British
government and at the same time to keep
people OF this country In the dark as to the
real situation. The story is 80 simple and
free from any necessity for secrecy that the
steady refusal 10 tell the facts which has
met every inquiry at the State department
is all the more unreasonable. She situa-
ton from this standpoint is briefly as
follows: Two months ago Minister
West sent note 10 the State de
partment asking for the arrest OF Sheridan
on the charge Of completely In the
Phoenix Park sssassinations. This war.
rant was promptly issued and sent TO the
British Minister. He held this warrant for
some time awaiting the arrival Of the proof
OF the charges 80 that the arrest Oh Sherl-
dan could be had and extradition ordered
II the proof WAS deemed sufficient.
THIS TIME HAS NOW ARRIVED.
sheridan, Walsh aud lyman have been in
dcted, and the State Department Ia In
daily expectation Of demand for war
rants for the arrest OF the two last men
toned. Minister West said to-day that
he had notified consuls to keep
sharp lookout for lyman, and to cause
his arrest the moment they discovered his
whereabouts. He will be arrested on
United States Commissioners warrant,
which can be done without any demand
being made on the State Department. lie
said also that he would not ask for the ar.
rest Of Walsh until he had the evidence
against him. To-day Minister West for
warded the warrant for sherldan's ar.
rest TO the British Consul In
New York, with the directions to have
it served the moment the evidence
against him arrives from England. This
evidence has now arrived and hence the
pending arrest Of Sheridan. No further
steps are likely TO be taken at the State De
partment until after the examination OF
Sheridan, by the United States Commission
er In New York. lie will forward his re-
port to Washington, and ifthe charges have
been proved and are deemed sufficient to
warrant extradition an order will be issued
from the State Department, ordering him
to be delivered iuto the custody OF the
British officers.
