Mr.. FOSTER announces that not only will
the New York Board of Trade declare in favor
of the Spanish treaty, but will send a com
mittee to Washington to lobby for its %ratifca-
ton. This is not at al strange, neither is it
strange that a large proportion of New York
merchants are Democrats. New York city,
in its business aspects, is naturally for free
trade. The merchants generally are import
ers; many Of them are exclusivelys so. They are
not interested in domestic products and man
ufactures. Their interests lead them against
tie tariff and against the theory of protection.
They want foreign goods to sell to American
consumers, and they want them as cheaply as
possible. It is not surprising that New York
city should send a lobbying committee in the
advocacy of a treaty that is so long a step in
their direction.

The following, from the indianapolis Sen.
tinel, is so remarkable a financial departure
that we make haste to transfer it to oul
columns:
That the coming of a silver dollar so much
inferior in intrinsic value to GOLD was a mis-
take all who have given the subject a thought
must admit. The present gold value of silver
is, on an average, about 81. 10 per ounce troy
(490 grains.) In view Of this fact it will be
best to withdraw from circulation all silver
dollars of the present weights, and issue a
dollar containing $40 grains of silver, which
brings it fully up to the standard of a gold
dollar. 1t may also be well to do away with
the nickel and replace it with silver; while
nickel might be utilized to bring up the value
of a cent.
with a silver dollar of the proposed weight
we would be able to drive out of market all
other silver dollars, and then our country
would not only produce bullion, but would
likewise furnish silver coin to all the nations
of the earth"
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1884-12-17

INCIDENTALLY, it ought to be stated here
that the critics who declare that Gov. Cleve-
land acted inconsistently in accepting free
transportation in Vanderbilt's private car to
attend the actors benefit, have no just basis
for their fault-fnding. He went as the guest
of the managers of the benefit, and it was for
them and not for him to say how he should
travel. They secured the best accommoda-
tons, as befitted his station, and it would be
Overstepping the pounds of common propriety
for him to insist upon footing the cost.-Utica
Observer.
The fault-fnding is not directed toward the
fact that Mr.. Cleveland rode in a palace car.
That was very proper. The dignity Of the
office to which he has been elected makes it
proper that he should be accorded the most re-
spectfulan deferential treatment. Just so with
the ceremonies on Inauguration day. They
should be attended with everything calculated
to add dignity and honor to the man and the
high Office into which he will be indicted. 1t
were preposterous and puerile to think Of
walking from the White House, or any other
house, to the Capitol, and would rightly be
regarded as contemplate demagogy. The
palace-car episode was referred to in order to
show that Cleveland was not a C~incinnatus-
nor does any sensible man want him to be.
He will do if he is simply a good American,
fully advised of the dignity of the station to
which he has been called.

national bank note be retained, rather than
have more silver certificates, or any other kind
of certificates. 1t is a strange thing that the
'silver men, themselves. as they are called,
do not see that the proposed issue of silver
certificates is a practical discredit OF silver on
the part of Congress. Let all the smaller
notes be withdrawn, and no more certificates
issued until the demands of trade for small
currency unlock the vaults of the treasury
and pull out at least sixty or seventy-fve mill
ions of the one hundred and forty millions of
dollars now lying idle and useless, and a
menace really to our financial soundness.
The reduction of rates on money orders to a
popular basis would afford all the needful ex-
change for small amounts of money among
the people. What is desired is to make the
millions and millions of people, who scarcely
know it, acquainted with our silver currency
by its actual circulation, and not by means of
Certificates"

Mrs. JULIA WARD HOWE, who has charge
of the woman's department of the exposition,
is severely criticised by the New Orleans pa
pers for having neglected to place any ladies
of that city upon her staff. She is also cen
sured by women in other sections for having
made the most of her appointments from New
England. A woman OF Mrs Howe's attain
ments should have known better than this,
but the aggrieved sisterbood may hope with
some degree of confidence that she will learn
her error before the show is over. One Of the
chief advantages expected to be derived from
this great fair is through the dissemination of
knowledge in regard to the development and
resources of distant parts of the country, and
the broadening Of views to be produced by
the contact Of people from different sections.
The New England woman is provincial, and
imbibes new ideas slowly, as a rule; but it is
not impossible that she may learn at the expo
sition that considerable civilization and intel
ligence exist west Of the Alleghenies.

Mr.. BLAINE has dismissed the libel suit in
stituted against the Indianapolis Sentinel, for
the reasons set forth in the letter to his at
torneys, which is printed in full. This action
was not only expected, but is, in truth, all that
Mr., Blaine could do, in view of the disgrace
full fact that the libel has been made a politi-
cal matter of, and, indeed, was first uttered
solely for partisan reasons. The mistake Mr..
Blaine made was in not recognizing this at
once, and in not putting his defense against
the atrocity upon the manhood and woman
hood of the country. AS he himself said, in
his letter to Mr.. Phelps, there are some
wrongs for which the law affords
no reparation, and this is one of
them. While legally the triumph seems
to be with the ~utterers of the calumny-which
did not affect Mr.. Blaine so much as it did his
honored wife and family-the utter meanness
and malignity of the crime still remains. 1t
is a damned spot that will never out; "a piece
of political scoundrelism, " as the Courier-Jour
nal first said of it, which will ever remain the
foulest blot on American journalism and in
political campaign warfare. The Philadelphia
Times, an independent Democratic newspaper,
so we'll expresses orr views that we copy an
editorial article which appearedin its columns
yesterday.
"The present is a good time for Mr.. Blaine
to say what he should have said in August
last, when the infamous publication first APP
~peared-that the libel is too infamous for no.
tice, or denial, or litigation. The action was a
blunder, entirely regardless of the merits of
the dispute, and had Mr.. Blaine been elected
President, he certainly would have dismissed
the suit. Being defeated by the narrowest of
chances, he can afford to treat the foolish
suit and the brutal scandal as he would have
treated them had he been successful.
"There is now no probability that Mr..
Blaine's libel suit will ever be tried. He has
no need to try it; ne has nothing to profit by
any issue of the suit, and the best way to dis
pose of it is by the most manly way-that is
by dismissing the action, and the scandal, and
the scandal-monger and waving them out of
his path. Even so great a man as Mr.. Blaine
can't wrestle with pitch without being defled,
and that tells the whole story. Sponge it

MIR. AvERY,s BURGLAR TRAP.
a Shrewd Yankees Costly Invention-Th
Troubles that Followed.

a Shrewd Yankee' Costly Invention-The
Troubles that Followed.
Hartford Comm Special.
Mr.. George S. Avery. an inventive Yankee in
beautiful Groton. on the banks of the Thames,
would be weather. if he had permitted his in
ventive faculties to lie dormant. He was an
noyed by burglars q year ago. and invented a
buarglar trap, which worked charmingly. UE-
der the fooYing beneath the counter of his
store he dug n pit seventeen feet deep, with
perfectly smooth sides. In the floor he put a
trap-door with a spring. This door was imme-
diately under the lnoney-drawer, and any per-
son stepping on the spring experienced promptly
the sensation of a tumble of seventeen feet.
Avery built this himself at nights after the
village gossips were through perching OH the
cracker barrels and had gone home. He kept
his secret, finished his trap, set it, and
awaited results. Several nights passed
without a bite, but he won at last.
Opening the store one Monday morning, he
found the trap sprung and heard calls for
help from the bottom of the pit. A bruised.
hungry. thirsty, and wholly demoralized burglar
was hauled out, having been there since Satur-
day night, The fellow was sent to Jail, and
Avery became the hero of Groton.
The light-fngered fraternity heard of the affair,
and avoided Mr.. Avery's premises thereafter.
His trap didn't pay expenses, and Avery was
becoming discouraged. But he has won again,
or, rather, he lost the next time. 4 few weeks
ago he became financially involved, and
his store was attached. Daniel Lake, who was
put in as keeper. forgot about the trap and fell
a victim. He was badly bruised and had an
ankle broken. He holds Avery responsible for
permitting the man-trap to remain unsecured,
and has just brought suit for 50 1000 damages.
An attachment has been placed on Averys
goods, and this suit, together with a breach-of-
promise case he has on hand, will afford the in
cenious inventor considerable legal experience
during the next few months.

THE RECENT EXPLOSION.
A Slight Crack Discovered in the Bridge-A
Faint CIew to the Dynamiters.

Faint Clew to the
LONDON, Dec. 16.-Furthur examination of
London bridge reveals an irregularcra several
inches long in a block of granite at the lower
part of the buttress of the bridge at the place
where an upheaval of water occurred. The
crack does not affect the solidity of the structure.
A boatman at Greenhithe says that about dusk
on Saturday he lent a boat to two men, ore car
rying a greenish looking parcel; that they drifted
down the river under Southwark bridge, and
neither boat nor men returned.
A later dispatch says that it appears that
three men, not two, engaged the boat at Green
hithe at dusk on Saturday, which agrees with
the statement of the wharfer who informed the
police, on Saturday night, that he saw q boat
with three men IN it under the arch on the
Surrey side of the bridge, a few minutes before
the explosion A man carrying a par
Gel sat in the stern of the boat
and steered, while the Others rowed
Of the mems faces, and is unable to
describe them, but one of them had
engaged a boat on several occasions previously.
1t is not unusual for customers TO keep boats
over Saturday to Sunday, but the boat keeper
became suspicious on Monday evening at the non
return of his boat, and he informed the police of
the circumstances. The boats name is "Ariel. 7"
Two abandoned boats were reported found on
Sunday, but IT ID unknown whether either OF
them is the "Ariel."
The boat-keeper states for one or two months
past a man, evidently a foreigner, although he
spoke English fuently and with a tolerably
pure accent, had been accustomed to hiring
boats, generally for one or two hours The man
sometimes had a companion with HIM.
On Saturday the stranger, who is described
as a man about ~thirty-fve years
of age, of pale complexion. with light mustache
dressed in a pepper-and salt tweed suit and soft
felt hat, without overcoat, hired a boat about 4
o'clock P. Nj. His companions were of about the
same age, each having black whiskers and
mustache, dark overcoats and trousers, one wear
ing a tall hat and the other a low felt hat. They
had with them a parcel about nine
inches square, which they handled carefully.
The boat-keeper is able to swear positively in
regard to the supposed foreigner, but is uncer-
tain whether he can recognize the others. A
careful examination of the boat-yard resulted in
the discovery of what is supposed to be a cartridge.
1t is painted red at one end, is an inch and a
half long, and of the thickness of a mans fore

THE offer Of $25, O00 for the discovery of the
man OF men who caused the explosion on or
under London bridge, seems fooiishly high.
The damage done vas practically nil, nor has
it been made apparent that the explosion was
strong enough to produce damage at all ap-
proximating the amount of the reward offered.
The effect of such an award is simply TO mag
Nifty the Importance of the ~scoundrels who
were the authors of the explosion, who, it APP
pears, do not dare undertake anything which
might do great harm.
