CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.

THERE is but safe course-to resist at once
with all possible energy any change OF the tariff at this
session. If those to whom stability in their indus
tries trade is important will at once concentrate
their efforts this end tariff tinkerng may be stopped
for the session. But if it once begins can
guess where incapable Democratic House may stop.
New York Tribune.
THERE power enough in the Constitution to
whip the Southern people when they rebelled, and
there must be power enough in the Constitution to
help the Southern people when they are in distress.
Hence let have large appropriations for the relief
of distress in all the overlooked districtsn Ohio In
diana and kentucky and wherever else in the South
west the deuge may make its destructive appearance
in the future.-St. Louis GlobeDemocrat
There has been nobody to declare in the House of
Commons, in the of Bradlaugh, what every
statesman whose name is remembered declared in
the of Wilkes that it is the clear right of every
constituency to choose its representative, pro-
vided he is legally qualified to hold the Office and that
expulsion does not amount to legal disquali
hcation for reelection. The doctrine of DR.. John
sons False Alarm which has been derided ever
since has been adopted by the House of Commons
simply because its members dsliked Bradlaugh. Per-
sonaly, BIadaugh has got more than he deserved.
But the less has civil liberty been outraged in his
person.-New York Times.
ARE there those who in the face of the unparalleled
calamity that is upon the people of the Ohio Val
ley talk about constitutional objections to national
and State relief! There such, doubt but they
fools knaves. Constitutions that hinder the
tension of relief to sufferers from such disaster,
sweeping it is exceptional, that which we are
compelled to face. are only fit to be torn into
shreds and traplpled under foot They not made
for humane people and we recognize the existence
of no such fundamental instruments. 1t is always
constitutional is always right to extend helping
hand to people who the subjects of disaster.-Cin
cinnati Commercial Gazette.
What Gen. Gordon might have accomplished by
his personal influence six months ago is one thing;
what he do now after the destruction of the army
under Hicks has been followed by the far more dis
graceful rout of Bakers soldiery and the abandon
of the garrison of Snkat to slaughter is quite
another. Unquestionably Gen. Gordon did great
things in China with very meagre resources But the
task at this late day Of bringing in safety out of the
with much larger hord of noncombatants, is prob
lem that he is likely to find insoluble, without
British or Anglo Indian troops.-New York Sun.

THE appropriation from the national govern
ment will probably be increased to at least
$500, 600 Secretary Lincoln is moving with
commendable vigor, and the kindly offices of
the government will reach the suffering peo-
pie as quickly as can be. The action of the
government should not, and we believe will
not, have the effect to stife, in any degree,
the generous charity that is springing from
the people the country over. The fact is that
the distress cannot well be exaggerated. The
necessity is tremendous and imperative, and
there will be ample field for the exercise of all
Observation-Disclosures, municipal, State,
and national.

Democratic members from Ohio than myself
Directing to his bill to restore the duty on wool,
when he gets it up"
do you mean to say there are other Demo-
cratic members from Ohio who want wool on
the free listl'
Eyes, sir. And really think Mr. Converse is
not happy with his measure, too. 1 think he
wishes himself out of the matter. He finds it
hard road to travel to work against the very
nerve of the principles of his party. 1 suppose
that there will be some of the Democratic mem
bers from our State who will vote to restore the
duty on wool, but others will not Why it is
just upon such common articles as wool that we
build our tariff principles. If you were to in
qure OF true Democrat what articles should
not be taxed, upon importation, he would natur-
ally begin with wool, cotton, wood, salt sugar,
and kindred articles of ordinary use If we are
to protect wool and its manufactures we are
estopped in our work of tariff reform"
do you think lumber can be put on the free
stl"
Il am sure it can be, so far as the House is
concerned, and it might go through the Senate.
why, every Democratic member from Michigan
favors free lumber and that is instance sufficient
so far as lumber is concerned. Several Repub-
leans favor the proposition. 1 believe it would
pass the Senate"
This is important tariff news, coming as it
does from the most pronounced tariff agitator in
the House. 1t demonstrates pretty clearly, how
ever, that the tariff question is turning over
more and more every day the Democratic party
is represented in the House. States are dividing
in every direction, and it will soon be that no
Democratic member will be in position parallel
with another of his party.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l4.-There seems to be
disposition among the Democratic members from
Virginia to ridcule the testimony of witnesses
before Senator Sherman's committee investigat-
ing the Danville election riot. Not only do they
occupy seats about the table in the committee
room where the witnesses are examined, and sit
and sheer at the poor, ignorant black men who
are called to tell of their woes but by ieers and
side remarks endeavor to break down the witness
ses and intimidate them The stories of those
examined to-day so told of human slaughter,
however, that they were impressive. The room
was crowded with witnesses, newspaper men,
and spectators, and every one was impressed
with much of the testimony. AT the first incep-
ton of this investigation it was not expected to
amount to much, but it is probable it will prove
very interesting in its proceedings, results and
effects

THE SILVER QUESTION.
A Number of Bills Proposing Changes in
the Coinage

A Number of Bills Proposing Changes in
the Coinage.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-"There is likely to be
a row over the silver question before this Con-
gress adjourns," said an old member to-day
why So"
''Well, have you not noticed the number Of
bills tinkering with the coinage that have
been introduced" The latest is McPher-
sons. He proposes to suspend coinage of the
standard dollar for about eighteen months to
make gold and silver bullion legal tender and ex-
changeabe for gold and silver certificates, and to
retire the trade dollar by making it legal tender
for postage and revenue stamps. Then there is
Morrill's BILL which allows the director of the
mint to employ FIVE artists to design new coins
for which they are to receive $1,000 each and
$3.50 for each coin design accepted All new
coins are to be based on the meteric system. the
five and three cent nickels and the copper cent
are to be called in and in their place new five
cent coin of silver and new cent of pure nickel
are to be issued But the most important change
proposed is to make the dimes, half dimes, quar-
tiers and half dollars conform in value to the
standard dollar; in other words Senator Morrill,
believes tnat half dollar piece
should be worth half as much as
the dollar coin. Besides these there are
several other bills designed to limit or suspend
entirely the coinage of the standard dollar.
Now there are number of men in Congress
who represent constituencies whose principal
product is silver Then there others who
have big blocks of mining stock in silver mines.
About the only use there is at present for these
productions of the Rockies and the Western
coast is the coinage of them into silver dollars
worth ninety cents-which now goes on at the
rate of "a, 900, 600 year Bland the chairman
of the House coinage committee, has thus far
