SENATOR ALLISON ABOUT STLVER.

SENATOR ALLISON ABOUT SiLVER'
Tn copxcrsotion at Chicago, Senator Allison,
of Iowa has been expressing his opinlohS OH
the prospect of a suspension OF silver coinage
As he was the real father of the Coinage Act
in its present shape, though the measure Is
often called the Bland BILL" because IL was
originally introduced by MIR. Bland OF
Missouri. and contained provisions for unhm
tied coinage, the expressions OF the Iowa Sen
ator have especial interest Mr.. Allison does not
bclicvc that absolute suspension will prevail IN
the Senate. and he thinks that the Senate Il
more likely to agree to absolute suspension
than the House. He observes that in the House
there are "A large body OF men VINO laVor liec
coinage, and large number who thlhK the
present coinage should continue" 1t Is 10 De
remembered that the unlimited coinage Dill
proplsed by Sir. Bland did pass the House, ana
that similar measures have repeatedly been sup
portcd bv a MAORI in that body; and although
, great many of the members arc new, there Is
no evidence that the majority do not represent
the same local opinions and supposed Interests
Mr. Allison believes that some provision lor
TEMPORARY coinage might be passed in the nope
that the effect would be to hasten an interna-
;ional agreement, but only in such way mat
coinage would be resumed without further
lcgi,ation.'
But the Senator does not explain, IN this brlef
interview bow it comes to pass that the coun-
try does not want and will not use the silver
which has already been coined. Hcis an intel
li,cnt man, and therefore knows that the use
of silver certificates is not use
of silver; that the certificates are
not taken because any body expects them to be
redeemed in silver or wants silver for them, but
because they can be used in place OF gold IN the
paymrnt of dues TO the Government In
practice and in theory this is not use OF coin,
but of paper money. Why is no more silver
used II the vast quantity now idle IN
the Treasury can b. IL ed. in connection with
the gold supply. why Is II not so used, when
successive Administrations have made extraor-
binary efforts to push it into circulation, and
have virtually offered 4 premium to those who
take silver instead of gold :
TO othcrs, il seems that the Senator entirely
mistakes. The refusal Of the country to use
silver is by others accepted rs conclusive proof
that there Is no room for more III circulation
unless il is forced into uses for which gold
j. now employed. If such uses should
be forcIbly brought about. the gold would
instantly become more valuable for export
than ror an, use ia this country. Then SILVER
would become the only basis of our vast paper
circulation. The Senator does not desire this
triumph of soft money Therefore. 1t IL
matter of regret that % able and influential a
man should not see what to others appear the
obvious teachings OF events.

The FnENCHcANADLly DENoYSrR1

HONS.
The French Canadians have had their ex-
ploSion of anger over the hanging of Riel, and
considering the turbulence Of their previous
talk the demonstrations have not been very
alarming. Some members OF the Cabinet kave
been burned in eiligy, and some windows have
been broken, and that is the extent of an
outbreak which even in the absence of any
attempt ut repression stopped short of the
excuses to which most excited MODS are prone.
There can be no doubt that the French Cana
dams feel very strongly on the subject, rightly
or wrongly but it is permissible now to hope
that they will cool down, and that perhaps, as
cynical Dominion journal suggesta their
political leaders will content themselves with a
fresh subsidy from the Government. The
action of the police, however. cannot b. con-
sidrred satisfactory. 1hey appear to have kept
out of the way of the mob. which is SO far
entitled to credit in that it did not take adVan-
tage of its patent opportunity and proceed to
serious outrage.

General Sheridan In his annual report makes
some useful suggestions concerning the treat
ment of the Indians. His recommendation
that the status Of the National Guard should
be regulated by a general law OF Con-
eress is a wise one. 1t would lead TO better
equipment in many States. and to an exact
responsibility, as General Sheridan says, which
is not now required. As To the necessity for
legislation which will settle all questions in
yolyed in the command and government OF the
army there can be no doubt. All causes for
friction should be removed and the limits OF
the Generals authority exactly defined.
The President has furnished the country
another exhibition of his peculiar kind of Civil
Service reform. He has removed General
Huidekoper, the efficient postmaster of Phna-
delphIa, and appointed in his place William +.
Harrity, whose only claim to the place Is based
on his services as chairman OF the Democratic
CITY Committee. This appointment was
agreed upon at a meeting in NeW-Ydrk some
time ago of Democratic members OF Congress
from PENNSYLVANIA. In making this and other
changes there the President has undoubtedly
been largely influenced by Mr.. Randall. 1t
looks as though JacksOnian 'reforn was

palpable abuse concerns the expenditure of the
money for copying records in the Registers
