cause much mischief bsfore Congress can take
action on the matter. In September and Octo'
Der silver certificates may be issued to large
amount, partly in exchange for gold, 80 that
the effect of silver accumulation may be IN part
postponed, and the addition of 100000 or
more to the store of useless silver dollars dur
ing the next three months will hardly be
enough to cause trouble il the supply OF gold
meanwhile increases. 1t ought not to take
Congress many hours, after its organization IN
December, to authorize the Secretary OF the
Treasury to suspend the coinage of silver and
the issue of silver certificates until the stock on
hand has been absorbed into circulation. But
if it then refuses, the responsibility for the
consequences will rest upon the new Congress-
and not upon the Republicans.
1t is better fortune than the Republicans
really deserve. that they have no financial
trouble on hand this fall as consequence OF
unwise neglect of the silver question. Ihey
wisely provided for reform of the civil service,
and revised the tariff, and suppressed Klver
and Harbor bill, and curtailed appropriations,
but the coinage of useless silver dollars they
suffered to continue, though it involved sheer
waste of over 100000 per month. Had
grave financial and industrial trouble resulted
this fall, it would have cost them many votes
in the coming elections. After December the
responsibility will rest with tue Democratic
marty, and we shall see how it will be met.

THE DANCER FROM SILVER.

A great danger has probably been passed in
safety As the seaman offers fervent thanks
when the tempest sweeps him past the terrible
rocky headland which he has barely escaped, SD
the Nation may well congratulate itself that
heavy exports of gold, or severe monetary
slringcncy, have not dashed us upon the rock
of silver Coinage. The danger has been clearly
seen. Any heavy drain of gold from the chief
monetary centres would have caused a drain of
gold from the Treasury. A withdrawal OF
much gold from the Treasury might at any
time have Occasioncd public alarm, md fear of
compulsory payment of Government Obliga-
tions in silver. One week of serious apprehen-
sion Of that sort would send gold into hiding
places, and the Treasury into difficulties from
which it would be difficult to escape.
1t was the belief of many. not long ago, that
gold exports might occur in large amount this
year, because of full crops in Europe, appre-
hension of financial disturbance here, and sales
of American securities. 1t matters not now
whether this belief was reasonable; il certainly
influenced the action Of many. But now it is
stated that Europe will require increased sup
plies of grain because of scanty crops. The
rate of exchange falls, and purchases of secur-
ties exceeding sales ON foreign account are re-
ported. The fear of commercial trouble here
has not led to withdrawal of foreign cap
tal, aud it is now the general belief that con-
siderable imports of gold will be seen before
the end of the year. Again, it is not very long
since there was much fear of financial strn-
gency in September. There is siill possible
ity of some pressure, of course, but the most
experienced lenders believe that there is no
losger probability of serious inconvenience.
Money is drawn slowly and in smaller amounts
than usual for the interior, and the Treasury
stands ready to pay cut any part OF
$21. 900, 900 on called bonds.

ton OF silver In the Treasury 10 not likely to

Mr.. Cleveland's candidacy for the Presidency

of the Democratic party in tins State, as it was
to be expected he would, by disappointing their
desire for Office. Now when he seeks to gain
control of the party machinery in order to OBJ
tain possession of the delegates to the Demo

him. Their opposition is likely to be success
fnl. part of the Governors plan was to in
crease his influence at the coming State Con-
yention by excluding Tammany but unless all
signs fail, the representatives of Tammany Hall
are to he admitted. And with Tsmmany in the
State Convention, the Governors hopes of con-
trolling tho delegates to the National Con-
vention vanish.
This little incident teaches the oft-rcpeated
lesson that as a rule it is better for ambitious
Democratic statesman to have Tammany Hall
for him than against him. Tilden did without

FATALITIES in all the free fighting which they

hoped that the report is incorrect. Certainly
Texas cannot afford to give aid and comfort to
this project. If she does allow tie fight to take
place within her borders, she must expect to be
known as the paradise of roughs. And that
sort of reputation does not help to develop a
young and ambitious State in direction that

in the political opinions of the COmte de Paris by

Governor Butler has now allowed it to be

mental reservation which will take him out OF

what the Governor said when he announced IN

The management of the Long Island Railroad
has materially improved since Mr.. Corbin oo-
tanned control of it, and has been regarded
with growing favor by the public. The coils
ion between the Rockaway and Long Beach
trains on Sunday night will tend to impair that
feeling of confidence unless the responsibility
for it can be positively defined by the officers OF
the company. Superintendent Barton, having
survived the vicissitudes of railroad manage
ment since the days of Oliver Charlick, follows
the traditional usage in this instaLce, which Is TO
enjoin silence upon the employees OF the com
pany whenever any accident takes place. III
there be anything which the public insists upon
knowing in connection with railroad smanage-
mept, it is how and why accidents occur.
Somebody was seriously, indeed crimlnaiiy'
at fault on Sunday night and the Supcrlntenu-
ent cannot hope to suppress the facts or TO mis-
lead the public If the responsibility belongs
to the brakeman who neglected to flag the APP
preaching train, his dismissal from the COM
papy's service is TOO light penalty. Negh-
gence in such cases is invariably criminal anu
should subject the guilty man, whether train
dispatcher, statiOn-master, conductor or brake
man, to arrest and prosecution in the courts.

The sale of the postal notes began yesterday.
An American citizen can now send half dollar
through the mails without filing out form
which it takes a lawyer to understand and the
other American citizen to whom it is sent can
master with the full name of his correspondent,
the street number of his house, and other per
sopal information, .besides presenting blank
received fro,u his correspondent, which he
must sign, after he has heen able to discover
the place where his name is TO be put. This is
great change in the direction of convenience,
and we hope tue Democratic press will not
insist that the postal-nOte must go.
The rumor that the steamer Amerique had
foundered on the way from Havre to New
York proves to have been gToundless. The
vessel has had 80 many mishaps lin the course
OF Ber checkered career and has SC often been
the cause of apprehension and solicitude that
her departure few hours in advance of a ter
rible storm prevailing in the Channel and the
south OF England naturally gave currency to
the startling rumor. A ship that has been res
cued and towed into port after being sban-
doned by its crew, may safely be credited with
having luck enough to stand worse weather
than has yet been reported from that quarter
Of the Atlantic.
The suggestion Of the committee of the Brit
Ssh Fisheries Exhibition that the English Gov
eminent should employ an American fishing
schooner to teach the British & rmen tue use
OF the purse seine, will serve to remind people
who take an interest in those usually dull vol

ports that large proportion of the applcs-
lions for patents are for inventions or improve
ments in fishing tackle. We have improv ed ou
