NATIONAL FINANCES.

A strange spectacle at the present
time is presented of the government Of
tcials Of great government, in reality
the servants OF the whole people, for.
getful OF their duties and obligations to
those by whom they are chosen and paid
to serve, and conserving to depress the
business activity of the whole country;
TO intensity the stagnaion of productive
industries, paralyze the prosperity and
threaten the security Of the whole nation
in their efforts TO serve a small class Of
financiers and 10 benefit local faction
of Eastern capitalists at the expense OF
the whole people. The people of the
United States, by the highest authority
of the government, declared through its
national Legislators that designated
coinage of silver should be taken and
accepted as legal tender for one dol.
lar. The syndicate of New York bank.
ers has practically and utterly ignored
this fact and has declared that in all
transactions it would be treated by them
as dangerous element, and practically
as if it had no currency valne. In fact,
they have assumed to dictate what shall
and what shall not be national cur
rency, Notwithstanding their dictatlons
are contrary to and IN defiance Of the
expressed voice Of the people through
their legal representatives in Congress.
Instead OF unfolding the dignity and
honor Of the nation whose dictates and
laws are thus ignored and treated with
contempt, The government officials not
only acquiesce in this decision of the
bankers association, but also form CO.
partnership with the New York clearing
house for the very purpose OF defeating
national Legislation and the expressed
will OF the people. In regard TO The
results Concerning silver coinage we
confess that the aspect presents alarm
ing features when such positions are as
Sumed by a class Of citizens, and the
case takes on graver Importance when
the government officials consent to pros
titute their high trust and positions TO
assist in violating the laws they are
sworn to project; and also the more
somber aspect and dangerous position
of the affair is presented when The PEG
pie Of the entire nation calmly consent
to such dangerous and threatening pro
ceeding without indignant protest and
imperatively demanding an obedience
to established laws both from cilizens
and from the public servants who have
been placed in positions Of trust and
responsibility.-Min RfOiez0.

THE ATTORNEY GENERALS
OPINION.

The Attorney General has at last
formed an opinian on the new school
law. He believes the law unconsttu-
tional and imperative, and the election
last May nullity. AfIur careful study
Of the question he came TO this conclu-
sion several months ago, but withheld
the opinion believing that the interests
of the public schools demanded that it
should be withheld. If he could have
rendered an opinion to the effect that
the law is constitutional and operative
the public probably would have had the
opinion long ago. The election has
been held, the certificates OF election
presented 10 the School Trustees elect,
the opinion of the Attorney General re.
ceived, yet the question is still a ques.
sion. This is as General Davenport
reasoned, preferring 10 have had some
one submit test case TO the Supreme
court rather than TO proclaim by an
official opinion that the law, or any
part Of the law passed by The last Leg
islature is null and void. But the pub.
lie has the opinion. Now, what rs to
be donea Will the people accept the
opinion as hnalily? VIII the Trus

past silver legislation and prospects oil
future action of the House, as founded
on the ascertalned views of members,
Justify the conclusion that any PROPOSE
ton looking to the stoppage OF the
coinage Of the silver dollar will meet
the same fate in the new House that it
did in the late one. An analysis of the
House vote, as at present constituted,
shows only I24 votes, at the outside,
favoring the stoppage of the silver
coinage. which is SO less than necessary
for a majority on a full vote.

AS suggestions to the city council
are always in order, We rise to make
one. 1t is that turn stiles be put in
at each corner and in the middle of

out and graded through it, to cores
pond with the stiles. In short, let us
have some style about us. Paths
through the square would shorten the
distance very considerably from one
side of town to the other and would be
of great convenience to those who fire.
quently have occasion to go from one
side to the other. Besides this, the
trees in the square are now getting
