COMMENTS OF The PRESS.

Albert RObersO

banks is only temporary and permanent re-
lief can alone come through legislation
on the part of Congress suspending the coin
age of the silver dollar.
1t becomes question of great moment to
the country therefore, in what spirit that
body will approach the subject. President
elect Cleveland brought all the influence he
possessed to bear on the Democratic MAORI
ty in the last Congress to induce it to pass a
bill to allow him to suspend the silver coin
age if the situation should become such
as to render that course advisable. Yet
he failed to touch the obdurate hearts
of the silver men, and the obnoxious law
was left untouched Since then, how
ever, there have been signs of a partial
return at least of reason to some of the men
who last winter were entirely daft on the
silver question. Gen. Warner, for instance,
virtually acknowledges in his scheme of sill
yer coinage recently put forth that the con-
tinued coinage of the short weight dollar is
an evil. At the South, where the silver delu-
sion has been the most wide spread and the
most tenaciously held, there has been an
awakening ON the part of the commercial
cldoooS az iedSe' lHooo ldctS are eHcoufaS-
ing to the friends of sound currency. The
reduction of the number of Democrats in the
next Congress is another encouraging fact
Though the Republican party has not been
entirely free from the faint of the silver
heresy, it has been much freer from it than
the Democratic party. The chances are,
| therefore, that an increase in the Republican
members of Congress will produce a cores
ponding increase in the number of sound
money members. Spite of these encouraging
symptoms, however, the silver coinage law
is not going to be got off the statute book
without hard fight

With 60 per cent. of the Office holders Demo-
Gratis and the remaining 40 per cent. thinking
more OF their bread and butter than of the resur-
rection of the Republican party, it ought not to be
difficult to reflect Mr.. Cleveland in 1888 or to
choose an equally good man to be his successor
Boston Post,
We have observed with pain several times
of late paragraphs like the above in the Post
1t was only the other day that it remarked
that Mr.. Timothy Shaw of Biddeford and
Mr.. Joshua S. Palmer of Portland had
worked like beavers all their lives for the
Propagation of Democratic principles and
had now ''got their reward" in the shape of
couple OF post offices. The Post has ap-
parently as yet failed to catch the spirit that
peryades this administration. The intima-
ton that Mr.. Shaw's and Mr.. Palmer's APP
pointments were rewards clearly shows this.
Mr.. Shaw was appointed postmaster at Bid
deford simply because his career had been
so free from offensive partisanship that it
was believed that he would allow nothing of
that kind inside the post Office That was
the reason, too, for the selection of Cap'n
Chase for the internal revenue office. A quiet
gentleman, who had taken interest in politics
barely sufficient to get him to the polls on
election day, was just the kind of person to
keep government office free from offensive
partisanship, and it speaks volumes for the
discernment of this administration that it was
able to discover these characteristics in the
Tabulator. The Post can't seem to get over
the idea that this is Democratic admins
tration, and that the President is looking out
for the welfare of the Democracy in the dis
tribution of the Offices. The fact is, how
ever, that the administration is looking out
simply for the welfare of the country. Has
the Post forgotten that Grover Cleveland re-
marked some time ago that public office
was public trust?

THE POINT MIR. GARLAND OMITTED.
Philadelphia Bulletin
There is one point against Mr.. Roach
which the Attorney General fails to make in
his elaborate discussion of the Dolphin. He
omits to refer to the fact that Mr.. Roach is
an offensive partisan, circumstance which
has an important bearing upon the case Mr..
Roach is Republican and his great ship
yard at Chester has been filled with thou
sands of men intimately acquainted with the
buttered side of their bread. Like all intelli-
gent American mechanics, these men believe
in protecting American industry. and are
sturdily opposed to the pernicious tendencies
of the free trade democracy Such offensive
partisanship as this would spoil the swiftest
and staunchest ship that ever floated and is
quite enough to condemn the Dolphin in the
eyes Of Messrs. Whitney and Garland

ANOTHER OFFENSIVE PARTISAN

The official head of District Attorney
Lunt has fallen into the basket The reason
for his removal is not made public, but it is
undoubtedly another case of Offensive par
tisanship." Mr. Lunt has been an exceed
ingly efficient officer, but he has not dis
guised the fact that he believed in Republic
can principles and has not hesitated to work
for their success, though it cannot be truth
fully alleged that he has ever used his office
for partisan purposes or encroached upon
the time that belonged to his official duties.
Neither has he served on campaign COM
mittees or been conspicuous in party man
agement. But he has not hesitated to ex
press his views, publicly and privately, on
the questions before the country nor sought
Ito conceal the fact that he thought the sue
cess of the Republican party was to be pre-
ferred to the triumph of the Democracy. If
this is offensive partisanship then Mr.. Lunt
is an offensive partisan.
Mr.. Lunt's successor, Mr.. George E. Bird,
is not popular with the Chase wing of the
Democracy, and we feel quite certain that
his appointment will prove very disappoint-
ing to them. Mr.. Bird committed an unpar-
donable offence in the eyes of this wing in
refusing to hitch up with the Green
hackers and vote for Plaisted He com
mitted another of the same sort in re-
fusing to consider John W. Deering a Dem
ocrat and vote for him for mayor. He has
long been regarded by this wing of the De-
mocracy as chronic kicker and has been
cordially hated by them in consequence He
has been true, however, to the traditions of
the Democracy and if the offices are to be
distributed as rewards of party fealty it is
perfectly proper that he should get one.

THE SILVER COINAGE.

Recent developments make it more evident
than ever that one of the first questions
which Congress will be compelled to take
up at its next session will be the suspension
OF. the silver coinage. The amount of gold in
the treasury over and above the 100000, 900
held for the redemption of the legal
tender notes, had become so small that there
was great danger that before Congress met
the treasury would be compelled to stop gold
payments and substitute silver. This danger
has been averted by the offer of the New
York banks to lend the government $10,-
100000 Immediately and if it becomes neces-
sary $1O,OOO,0O0 more to enable it to tide over
the intervening period before Congress
meets. OF course the relief of the New York

The Andoyer Review for July.


Prof. George I. Ladd restates his views of Bib
ica questions discussed more fully in his recently
published book. Prof. Ladd is one of the ad
vanced or radical thinkers of his denomination
and 1t is an open question whether some of the
points raised by him ought not to be considered
settled, at least by those who profess and call
themselves Christians Rev. Mr.. Cooley throws
some sidelights upon Mormonism by pointing out
its charming adaptations to the vulgar and igno-
rant classes, more especially in Europe, where
most of the converts are made. The Employ
ment of Children is a subject of vast and increas-
ing Importance. Mr.. John f. Crowell of Yale
presents statistics to prove that the evil is assum-
ing alarming proportions. There appears to be no
effectual remedy but the enactment of stringent
laws on the subject, which, in their turn must be
faithfully enforced. The editors of the Review
give us interesting essays on Progressive Ortho-
doxy, Christian Union, and Gladstone. The arti-
Gle on The Employment of Children, however, is
by far the best, and should be carefully read and
thought over by all who love their fellow men.

The friends Of Mr.. James Harris, the veteran
post office clerk circulating petition for his
appointment as assistant postmaster.-Po Portland
PRESS.
We do not believe that Postmaster Palmer can
be bamboozled with any such whining petitions
There are thousand young, honest and deserv-
ing Democrats in Portland capable of filling the
position OF assistant postmaster, and we have no
doubt one Of them viii receive the appointment
New Age, Gen Plaisted's organ.
Mr.. James Harris has been Democrat all
his life. He was never anything else. He
has always been bold and outspoken in his
advocacy of Democratic principles. When
Gen. Plaisted was forwarding through the
mails the famous Madigan circular (merely
as curiosity of course) Mr.. Harris was
Democrat. When Gen. Plaisted was paying
his lavish tributes to Mr.. Blaine Mr. Harris
was Democrat When Gen. Plaisted was
fishing for a second nomination for Con-
gress from the Republicans. which he did
not get, Mr.. Harris was Democrat When
Gen. Plaisted was coquetting with the Green
hackers for the sake of political boost,
which he failed to get from the Republicans.
Mr.. Harris was Democrat Mr. Harris's
devotion to Democratic principles covers
over forty years, and Gen. Plaisteds covers
three or four. But Gen. Plaisted is troubled
lest Postmaster Palmer may be ''bamboozled"
by whining petitions" on behalf of this
veteran Democrat. Has it come to this, that
eleventh hour Democrats like Plaisted are to
be preferred to Democrats who have borne
the burden and heat of the day? Or did
Gen Plaisted assume that Mr.. Harris was
Republican because he had been employed
in post office during Republican admins
tration and proceed to pitch into him on gem
eral principles?

According to the Indianapolis Sentinel the
edge OF the political rock is proving altogeth-

split in the ranks has occurred The Rev.
A. B. Leonard, the Prohibition candidate for
Governor, said in recent speech before
1900 people that his party's first duty was to
beat Judge Foraker and the State ticket, be-
cause they were not prepared to bow down to
the dictation of the Prohibitionists. In view

There is no doubt, as our esteemed Demo-
cratic contemporary alleges, that Malone is
a repudiator. And the fact is greatly to his
discredit. But the Democracy of Virginia
can hardly afford to throw stones at him on
that account. They are as deep in the mud
as he is in the mire All his schemes to re-
lieve the State from the payment of its just
debts were long ago heartily endorsed by
them in convention assembled and their at
titude to-day in opposition to the decision of
the Supreme Court which requires the State
to accept its discredited coupons in payment
Of taxes, is even more pronounced than his.
None of the political leaders of Virginia are
particularly distinguished for their virtues,
but Malone is quite as good in all respects,
and in many good deal better, than the men
who are bossing the Bourbon Democracy
AS for the spoils we should Judge from the
rapidity with which the Republican post
masters are being turned out and Democrats
appointed in their places that not quite all the
Democracy of that State have yet embraced
civil service reform.
