The form that Central American
affairs are assuming suggests
very forcibly the possibility of the
= United States government having to
handle those States without gloves.
The lives of some of the citizens of
the United States who are in that re-
gion, are threatened. fthese threats
are fulfilled there could be a no more
just cause for complaint on the part
of the United States. 1t is needless
to say that retribution would have
to be rendered either in peace or as
a result of war.

Our Democratic fellow citizens of
Romney, Hampshire county, held
an Indignation meeting last week
and cut down the Cleveland and
Hendricks pole, because Collector
McGraw re-appointed a Republican

The position pays $1,000 per year
1t is highly probable that those who
participated in these proceedings
will live to regret the part they
played. We presume the appoint

porary. The Collector must have
some experienced men under him
for while. He hasn't had time tC
learn the duties of his office himself
vet, and could hardly be expected
to teach subordinate what he does
not know himself. AS he is respon-
sible for the efficient administration
Of the department of the public ser
vice that has been committed to his
charge, it is not at all strange that
he should be unwilling to jeopardize
successful conduct of his office by
entrusting its duties entirely to in
experienced hands. The virtue of
patience needs to be assiduously
cultivated by our office-seeking
friends just now. Everything will
come ont right in the end.-Gozette.

1t is not generally known that the
man who refuses to pay for his news
paper can be prosecuted like any
other criminal for theft. A New
York paper has begun suit against
several delinquent subscribers under
the United States postal laws, which
say: "The taking of a newspaper

ders a person liable to criminal pros
ecution as thief, and the person
guilty of the same can be pdnished
as if he had stolen goods to the

Frances great gift to the city of
New York, the Bartholdi Statue, ar
rived at the metropolis of our coun-
try ON the 18th of June. Had it not
been for the New York World, money
sufficient to lay the foundation for
this statue would not have been
raised, and this enterprise so mag
nificent in design would have failed,
much to the discredit of the city of
New York. The amount necessary
to complete the foundation is $780,

count has raised $4,000, and there
is no doubt entertained but that the
remainder necessary will be contrib

THE SILVER QUESTION.

It is now evident that the present Con.
gress does not intend to do anything with
the silver problem. Indeed, it has not the
time An attempt to repeal or modify the
compulsory silver coinage act would be pro-
ductive OF a lengthy debate
Even If there were time to consider the
silver question it is scarcely probable that it
would be considered, because neither party
wants TO take hold Of it. The Republicans
want to leave it for Mr. Cleveland's admin.
istration to deal with, and the Democrats
TO know what Mr. Cleveland's administra.
ton will have to say about it before attempt
ing TO legslate with regard to 1t.
In financial circles, however, there are
grave apprehensions that trouble from ex.
cessive coinage of silver will come before
the next Congress can provide against it.
Indeed, there are those who believe that
much of the present depression in business
Is due to the uncertainty with respect to the
currency.
IL the country Is forced to silver standard
~ ~ dppdTcnt tndl I'LL VALUES Will De ulS-
turbed. For what an investor pays a dol
lar in gold at present he may be able to get
a dollar in silver year hence, and dollar
in silver would be worth only IS cents.
Those, therefore, who have money to invest
are waiting until there shall be greater GER.
tainty with respect to the currency. OF
course capitalists can afford to wait, but
those who depend upon capitalists must
suffer. The opinion is expressed by many
hnanciers that if the coinage of silver were
stopped and confidence in the stability of
the gold standard restored fresh life would
be infused into industrial enterprises all
over the country. The strong boxes in
bank vaults would be opened and money
would be freely invested. Times are hard
because SO many people are unemployed,
and so many people are unemployed because
those who control capital are afraid TO make
Investments and engage in enterprise.

REFORM THROUGH EDUCATION

The Missouri Legislature is discussing
bill which proposes that the evils of alcohol
and nicotin shall be part Of the practical
instruction in the public schools. This is a
sensible idea which should spread to other
States. Nobody doubts or denies the evils
directly resulting from the intemperate use
of intoxicating drinks. These evils are every
where evident-in impoverished and blasted
homes, In ruined men and women, in jails
and almshouses, in the poverty and crime
directly due to the use or abuse of rum.
And all good citizens will rejoice at and
join in any feasible plan for the diminuton
or removal Of these evils. But the trouble
is that most of the measures proposed are
misdirected or insufficient. 1t is found that
sumptuary laws will not suppress the evils
they propose 10 correct. No law can make
people virtuous. No legal enactment will
reach an old drunkard. 1t may punish but
will never reform him. No Maine law, es-
pecially in Maine, ever could or ever will
stop the sale of intoxicating liquors. But
what cannot be forced into an individual OF
the public can be educated and instiIled into
the young of both sexes at home and In the
public schools.
The Missouri Legislature begins at the
right end. If the young generation can be
brought up to believe In the evils and hor.
rors resulting from the free use of rum, it;
use will not be so free in the future. In
this way what ill-advised fanatical reform9;
vainly attempt to accomplish by force Z
come about naturally in due time through
popular education.

DYNAMITE VENGEANCE.

II is not at all improbable that dynamite
may become common instrument of ven.
geance. 1t meets exactly the wants of those
who desire to inhict injury without expos.
ing themselves to.much danger of either the
gallows or prison. This, and perhaps ev-
cry other country, is full OF people who
have a grievance against individuals or so.
ciety. Not all who have grievance would
commit crimes agains. persons or property,
but there perhaps are people in almost every
community who would not hesitate to take
; life or damage property to crafty feeling
that they had been wronged, provided they
could do 50 with comparative safety.
The parties who undertook to wreck
valuable building in New York city be.
lieycd they had been wronged in some way
by their late employer, and they undertook
To make him suffer by destroying his pro
perry. All will agree that the attempt was
cowardly, but those who did the deed have
their sympathizers who will defend them
just as there are those who defend the dyna
miters who recently attempted to wreck the
English Parliament buildings
1t does not require any stretch OF the i'm
agination to picture The condition of affairs
that would exist In all civilized countries II
the idea that dynamite is a remedy for real
or fancied wrongs should take firm hold Of
the dissatisfied elements of society. II Is
apparent that the danger that this idea will
become prevalent is greater than we are
willing to admit. Every dynamite bomb
that is exploded, If those responsible for the
explosion are. not arrested and punished,
encourages the secret and unlawful use OF
dynamite. Two years ago couple Of dis
charged employees would not have enter.

ployers with explosives to bring them to

il be before explosives will be used la every
part of the country, not only by those who
have grievance growing out Of labor trou.
bles, but also those who hate society because
they want share OF this worlds goods
without working for il?
II is the extent TO which dynamite may
be unlawfully used, as well as the inexcusa.
bleness Of its secret use in warning upon in.

KEEPING HIS COUNSEL.

During the late political campaign Mr..
Cleveland was called "a man of destiny
and he is now called "a man of mystery"
His rise from obscurity to the highest politi-
cal position in the world, without appar-
emily extraordinary mental gifts or marked
qualifications, has been 80 rapid as TO excite
establishment, and ip his present position he
is certainly proving that he knows when TO
talk and when TO remain silent
Notwithstanding the efforts that are be-
ing made to find out his purposes with re-
gard to his cabinet no one Is able to say that
he knows who they are. The party leaders
who have been invited to conference with
him say that he knows how to ask questions
and TO get the information that he wants,
but that he is not confidential or communi.
cative. The reason that Messrs. Bayard,
Garland, German, Randall, Carlisle and
Others, who have talked with him, have not
given any indication of what his intentions
are is probably because they don't know
anything about them. They simply know
that they answered questions asked by Mr..
Cleveland, but they cannot recall, probably,
anything of importance which he commu-
nicated TO them.
} MIR. Cleveland Is acting wisely in keeping
his counsel. He could not make greater
mistake than TO make known the gentle.
men who will compose his cabinet before
he is ready to send their names to the Senate.
Some, If not all, Of them would be criticised
in q way that would not be pleasant, and
petty jealousies might give rise to unjust
remarks. When the nominations are made,
however, the knowledge that there is no
probability Of efecting q change will silence
jealousies and it maybe slanderous tongues.
All who have visited Mr.. Cleveland since
his election express their surprise at the
quick aud comprehensive intelligence that
he displays, and their qualification at the
strength and nobility of his character. He
Is much greater man than they thought
him to be, or else they do not tell the truth
respecting their impressions of him. 1t is
probable that they say what they think, and
that Mr. Cleveland is well qualified to give
the country an administration that will rank
with the best the country has ever had

ufactured and sold annually. deem this the
most substantial proof of the estimation in
which my fertilizers stand with the largest

that they are prepared in the usual way and
