1t Is with sick heart that The Rochester Union
reads of the preparations that are making for Mr..
Cleyelands Inauguration. IL denounces what II
characterizes as the luxurious appointments and
"the royal outlay" and savageIy inquiries: "Who
Is responsible for all this nummery and TOM

Thomas Jefferson and his -rights-reserved JEFF
fersonian simplicity. "No President" says The
Union, presumably biting shingle nail in two by
way Of emphasis, "was ever dearer to the great
heart of the American people than Jefferson. be-
cause he was a PLAIN as we'll a wise man."
We feel sorry for Mr.. Purcell. We have suspected
ever since election that he not going to receive

however, the subject is painful one and we will
not pursue it. The fox imputed aciduatiOn to tho

A WAR or VENGEANCE,

The death of General Gordon imparts unity
TO the British operations ir the SOudan. 1t is
now war of vengeance conducted by a great
Christian nation at enormous cost anu terrible
risks. 1t was this year ago when General
Graham was fighting on the seabOard. His
army hal arrived too late to rescue the garr-
sons of Sinkat and TOkar. Something had to
be done to justify the action OF the British
Government in sending the expedition to the
Soudan and since there was nothing else to do,
about 1000 brave Arabs were killed at Teb
and Tamanieb in retaliation for the massacre of
the garrisOns. AT the very moment when the
army was Strengthening Arabs by the thousand
on the coast, General Gordon was prOclaiming
peace and goodwill at KhartOum. This incOn-
gruity disappeared when he himself attacked
the enemy's camp and subsequently sent
steamers down the Nile to lombard Berber
after the garrison of that town had been mas
| sacred. When General WOlseley's expedition
set out in the autumn to rescue an EnglishmaD
whose life was in peril, and possibly to establish
some form Of native government at Khart0uni,
| the campaign again seemed homogeneous. But
| now the work Of vengeance, pure and simple.
| has been resumed. General Earles column has
punished at Brit the MOnassir tribe for MUIR
dering Colonel Stewart, Mr.. Power and theil
| companions. In like manner the assassination
of General Gordon and the slaughter of the
troops that remained loyal to him are to bt
avenged by an army of twenty thousand men
There will be bloodshed all the way from
Brit to Khartoum and from Suakim across the
desert to Berber, because the English peopl,
insist upon having the children of the deser
punished in this awful war of vengeance.
Whose is the crmef That was question
hard to answer year ago. Osman Digna.
warriors who were slaughtered on the sea
board, were called rebels. They had rebelled
but not against the English. They had riser
throughout the Soudan against cruel Turk
and rapaciOus Circassians; against corrup
officials who had plundered and misgovernet
them; against cowardly garrisons that ha,
oppressed them. They had rebelled against |
common enemy, whose disastrous defeat on thu
road to Obeid the English Government hat
lacked both courage and prudence to prevent
| 1t was revolt against tyranny and oppression
and from the outset the English Ministry has
aided and allotted it by proclaiming prema
turely the necessity Of abandoning the Soudan

barism of the most Objectionable kind, and
there is not a sha low OF reason to be alleged on

THE SILVER QUESTION.

Why should there be such heat and wrath,
whenever it is urged that enough silver dollars
for the present have been coinedf Is there any
use in manufacturing anything for which there
is no markct2 Is the country III any way bene-
flied by taking gold out of the Treasury and
putting silver into its place7 Is the cause OF
the double standard advanced in the slightest
degree. by voluntarily taking from English
shoulders the load and loss which the single
standard would otherwise bring upon that
country, and imposing that load and loss upon
the people of the United States
On the contrary. it is now well known that
continued coinage of silver by this Nation helps
England to escape the consequences OF adj
herence to monometallic theories. British
exchanges with India would involve losses
which British merchants would not tolerate II
this country did not avert them by taking of
the markets of the world a quarter OF the pro-
duction of all known mines. So long as we
consent to do this Great Britain laughs at all
arguments and appeals, aud trusts that Amer
lean acuteness' may continue tn save Britisti
money-lenders from all inconvenient consc-
quences of their monometallic theories. But 1t
would not take many days to convince Great
Britain that the silver question ought to be
frankly met, and settled by international
agreement, if this country should suspend the
coinage of silver.

WEEKS FOB WIND; FIVE HOURS FOR
BUSINESS

The Post Office laws need radical change,
the House Committee thinks. This change, il
claims, will save the country very large sum,
and the committee therefore reports an apprO-
priation much below the actual cost of the
service at present. in the belief that the new
mode of contracting for transportation OF the
mails by railway will save the country the
difference. This is an important matter. On
the one hand, If the plan is sound, millions may
be saved. On the other hand, il there should
be- any mistake about it, the postal service
would be left without adequate provision, the
Transportation of mails on the great and most
important routes might be arrested or delayed,
and the commerce of the country thrown into
confusion. For the consideration of question
50 vastly important. the House decided TO take
Just five hours of debate. after spending a
week in discussing the River and Harbor bill.
This change. moreover, it proposes To fasten on
an appropriation BILL with no more considera-
ton than the FIVE hours of debate will permit,
and then to compel the Senate to accept it, or to
ran the risk of making an extra session neces-
sary
Legislation in this method is not merely dis
graceful; it endangers all public interests.
The House ought to be made to understand that
if it deems any change in the laws desirable, it
must propose that change, and submit it to the
coordinate branch of the legislative body in
due form and at reasonable time, before the
appropriation bills come forward to engross at
tention, and to prevent the serious cOnsidera-
ton of any other matter. Any measure which
the House does not think important enough to
treat in this deliberate and straightforward
manner ought to be defeated altogether
1t is impossible to say. without more investi-
CATION than has yet been possible, either for
journalists or for the House, whether the pro-
posed change in the methods OF contracting for
transportation of the mails would do good or
harm. Ii the great companies by which alone
the most important mails can be carried with
satisfactory regard for the public needs should
refuse to transport them on the terms contem-
plated, tho embarrassment would be very great.
If, on the other hand, considerable number of
less profitable roads, which cannot afford Ia
| run trains at u low rate of charge, should de-
cline the service on the terms contemplated. the
mails would be denied to great number of
post-ofices. But this most important and
| difficult question the House thinks worth five
hours consideration.
