JNFLATTON NOT DISC USED.

There is evidently determined effort to pre-
pare public opinion to accept Mr.. Warmers
silver scheme as a fair compromise" step
in the right direction" and substitution of n
dollar worth 100 cents for dollar worth so
cepts.n An eminent banker is quoted as using
the last expression in commentator of the
scheme A financial journal of high repute, but
of Democratic leanings, urges that the measure
really ought not to be condemned hastily, since
it may prove better than nothing, and the best
that we can get.
There ia a temptation In the minds of business
men who are anxious for something to bring
about better business to accept almost any
thing that promises to secure that result, even
though it may be only for time and at great
cost to the country. The wise and patriotic
men who accomplished resumption of specie
payments had to meet and overcome the same
tendency. Also there Is an especially strong
anxiety just now, In some quarters, that the
Democratic party may escape disruption by de-
yising financial measures which, whether of any
practical use or not, can at any rate be so repre-
sented that people will expect them to be of
use In order to maintain the public credit It
nay be necessary, as 1t was necessary In order
to restore that credit and TO reach resumption,
to overcome the tricky Misrepresentation of
Democratic partisans. and the sbort-sighted
selfshness Of some business men, who would be
willing to give up anything for present relief.
The TRIBUNE would most heartily rejoice to
sec the Democratic party honor itself by set
Ting the silver question on just and safe basis.
But it Ia not going to commend any fatal or
dangerous measure, merely because it will help
Democratic politicians, or because it will pro-
mote spasmodic hurrah in prices.
Any wild initiation might enable spectators to
rush prices up, and SO to sell out on the public
or other spectators. But it would be fatal TO
the industries and the trade.Of the country, as
truly now as in 1874, when General Grant
vetoed the Initiation bill. The object of Mr..
Warmers bill, and the end 1t would reach if
it should be effective at all. is an enormous in
Hation of q currency that is too much inflated
already. 1t would add another kind of paper
money, unlimited In amount, to the kinds and
amounts We have now in use.

give US q dollar worth 100 cents Instead Of"

COST OF Tie RhRELLION

The official statement of Adjutant- General
Drum settles matter about which there has
been considerable wild speculation, namely, the
number of deaths during the war of Union
soldiers. The official statement now shows that
including 29,199 deaths among the Union
soldiers held rs prisoners of war, the aggregate
was 359,496. 1t seems to be impossible to
ascertain the exact number of men who were in
service. Some Of the returns were duplicated
and some of the men enlisted more than once
and it is the official estimate that about
=, 800, 900 men in all served in the Union Army.
According to this estimate the proportion OF
deaths was nearly one and half in tenor, more
accurately IA in every LOCO III the casual
ties among the Southern soldiers could also be
definitely ascertained and included, it would
doubtless appear that the number OF lives lost
on both sides during the rebellion was much in
excess of half million. Indeed, there should
also be included the large number of deaths
which resulted from injuries received or dis
eases contracted in the service, though the per-
sons had been discharged from the service be-
fore death occurred. That gigantic crime,
which the Nation is now engaged in hOnorng
and rewarding by the acts of its new Admin
istration, stthe country directly and indirectly
the lives of much more than 100000 of its
ble-bodied citizens.
But there is one other fact which will not be
overlooked by those wEo have either memory
or n sense of justice. Out of the Union soldiers
held rs prisoners of war, it appears that more
than 20 900 died in captivity, or as n result OF
the treatment they received while captured. 1t
would be well if the number of captives at any
time held could be published IN connection
with this official statement. But standing by
itself, it constitutes an indictment OF the IN
humanity of the rebels, and the infamou; disre-
gard of all the obligations which civilized com
batants respect. to which as yet no Intelligent
answer has been made. When the President
rewards men who were in charge of Union
captiyes during the war, ms he has already re-
wardcd not a few, let it be remembered that he
is honoring and rewarding men guilty of the
most barbarous sort of murder.

4 UISCHIEyOUS FIRE.

The fire which occurred on Friday in the India
Museum annex Of the International Exhibition of
Inventions at London was fortunately prevented
from reaching the main building. containing most
valuable collection OF inventions from all parts of
the world but IN destroying the Indian exhibits 1t
did. no doubt, irreparablo mischief. For there
were gathered in the India Museum works of Indian
art and industry of very great value. Not only
modern but ancient Indian skill was exemplhed
there by the most beautiful specimens. The wood
carving was in special abundance, aud this was one
of the causes of the destruction, the fire selling
upon the exhibits with avidity. Much of the
wood carving thus destroyed is no doubt of kind
which cannot DO replaced. for the greatest care had
been taken to secure fine specimens or the many
kinds and classes of Indian work exhibited. lnsur-
ance III such cases Is seldom OF much use. 1t az
fords money compensation for things tho real
valne of which cannot be thus computed.
Such fires involve an actual annibllation of art
capital 50 TO speak, as when the paintings of great
masters. or rare editions of books, are similarly
DESTROYED. In India, too industrial and art work,
especially old work, usually represents years of
application and patience aud fulness of clabora-
ton unknown to Western artists The escape of
the main building Is fortunate, for there, too, the
destruction would have been very serious, though
in most cases IL could have been recouped and
COMPENSATED in money aud the models and other
exhibits could have been repaired. Ii would seem
that there must have been some lack Of precaution
in the India Museum, for the rational prcsump-
t,on IL that special care would have been taken to
puard so precious collection against the danger
of fro

clans 1t is so, the laws against constant footing
should be made more strict.

An enthusiastic admirer of lacrosse Tends
letter to THE TRIBUNE urging the substitution
Of this sport for football. There is no need 1of
any such substitution, because there Is room
enough for both games. Lacrosse has already
obtained q sure footing in this country, ana us
growth in popular favor will be rapid, since our
leading colleges, Princeton and Harvard espe-
cially, have taken it up with enthusiasm. But
its friends would do well thus early to ADOPT
rules against the rough play to which many
lacrosse players are inclined. For instance
body checking" should not be allowed. 1t Is
forbidden in England (where there are N ore
lacrosse clubs, by the way, than in the onited
States), and 10 the great advantage OF the game.

The Senate committee investigating the subject
of Interstate commerce appears to have found an
intelligent witness at Chicago in the person of
Marshal Field, q representative shipper. AS this
class has usually been represented as hostile to the
railroads and in favor of all manner of regulation.
it is interesting to learn that Mr. Field does not en-
terrain such opinions. In fact he was not prepared
to say that rates too high and he did not be-
lieve in regulating them by statute. He held the
rational view that the business OF the railroads
could best be transacted the ordinary basis. On
the vexed question of the greater charge for the
short haul he showed unusual appreciation OF the
facts in the situation, argding that the customary
charge was fair inssmuch the short haul cost
more proportionatey than the long one. This. no
doubt is the truth, and it has been explained often
enough. but the advocates OF regulation have never
been able to get beyond the surface aspect of the
case, which of course is misleading Mr.. Fields
ideas generally were those of practical merchant
who perceyes that unfair restrictions. upon trans
portation react upon the commerce of the country,
and who doubtless distrusts the ability of politicians
to manage the complicated and ever changing bust
ness of the railroads

In letter about tho new plan proposed by Mr.
Warner aud other Democratic leaders, Mr.. l. w.
sylvester suggests that the real market price Of
silver will need to be ascertalned and that this real
price cannot be discovered unless the quotations
are taken of those transactions only in which all
the silver sod and all the price of things exchanged
for IT, actually passes between seller and purchaser
for the legitimate purposes of trade and manufact-
ure" This illustrates in a striking manner the
difference between theoretical and a practical
treatment of this difficult question. 1t would puzzle
Mr. Sylvester not q little to find evidences of the
actual price paid in cases where both the seller and
the purchaser desired the gold or the silver only
for the legitimate uses of trade and MANUFACTURED"
The speculative element which, as he admits makes
false prices enters to large extent into
all transactions in the precious metals and 1t would
be literally impossible for any individual for the
Governments to obtain quotations of such transac-
tions as he describes. Mr.. Sylvester that it is
q fatal objection to the plan of Mr. Warner that
the price of silver would at any time be controlled
by Il speculative combination of no extraordinary
power. But the provisions which he suggests for
avoiding that difficulty are rather less practical
than tho original plan itself.
