SILVER SCORES A POINT.

Mr.. BANDS resolution calling upon
the Secretary of the Treasury for Ger.
tain information relative TO the circu-
lation Of silver accords with the views
Of the House of Representatives by
very decided majority, If we may judge
by the 1853 yeas to only Ss nays by
which it declined TO recommit the res
olution for amendment.
The request embodied in The resolu
lion is simple, direct and certainly
legitimate. What has the Secretary
been doing TO restrict the circulation
of silver; in what way and by what
authority has he secured the co.opera-
lion of the New York Clearing House
or any other association in behalf of
the gold standards what amounts of
silver dollars have been held in the
Treasury that might have been applied
10 the payment of the interest. bearing
debt, and so on closing with the eX-
preston of desire to know whether
the policy which the Treasury Depart
~,nent has been hitherto pursuing is to
be its policy FOR the future.
1t was the latter branch of the in
quiry to which Mr., Morrison, Mr. Ran
dali and Mr.. Hewitt objected as going
little too far in the pursuit of knowl-
edge. 1t was well enough to ask for
more light as to the existing situation,
but somewhat presumptuous toask Of
thn Ganpatorxr Nvlaot 1,n i,,tpVtl,1 Ia Ia
about it hereafter. 1t were better to
eliminate this part of the inquiry,
thought the obiectors; but not 50 the
House, and the resolution went
through without being shorn of any
of its interrogalive points.
1t is suggested in some quarters that
this demand upon the Secretary on the
part OF the Democratic House, differs
little, if any, in principle from the de
mand upon the President, which our
Democratic friends think so extremely
high-handcd and QUO of all order, on
the part of Republican Senate. If
the Senate has no right to catcchise
the President rs to the why's and
wherefores of the appointments and re
movals he makes, by what right docs
The House assume to interrogate the
Administration rs TO what policy ii in
tends 10 adopt with regard to the coin
age or any OTHER question %
1t is true, the inquiry somewhat ir-
scgular and unusual, but unlike that of
the Senate it is neither factious nor
partisan, and we fail to see its impro-
priety In view of the fact that Mr..
Cleveland had no hesitation in commu-
nlcating his silver views to Congress,
even in advance of his Inauguration as
President, the House Of Representa-.
iives is certainly not without warrant
of virtual precedent in requesting of
the Treasury Department an intima-
ton of its future policy, now that the
Administration Is well under way, and
legislation contemplated to the perfcc-
tion of which the information desired
might prove Of essential value. On the
whole, THE CRITIC is disposed to be
lieve that the Bland resolution Is right,
and the House right in adopting 1t.

MR. GIAnsToNE,s CHOICE.

Nh. Gladstone's Cabinet contains
some new material, but much of that
which constituted his body of advisers
before his recent defeat. The Cabinet
as q whole is shaped very consistently
upon the issues which the late elections
showed to be most popular among the
majority of the voters Of Great Britain.
Above all things it is Gladstone Cab
met with one possible exception. Earl
Granville, who was Secretary for For
eign Affairs in the last Liberal Cabinet,
is now Secretary for the Colonies. 1t
is an open secret that the Queen
nj her recent interview with
Mr. Gladstone requested the Premier
not to make Granville Secretary for
Foreign Affairs again, as IL was under
his policy that England met such dis
aster in the Soudan. But as Mr.. Glad.
stone would not probably have re.
peated his experiment with Granville
under any circumstances, 1t may be as
sumed that it is purely a Gladstone
Cabinet, every member of which is
under his individual influence and
control The absence of Lord Hart
ington Is another evidence of this,
Thus Mr.. Gladstone, except for
the executive and routine con
duct OF governmental affairs, has
as much responsibility upon his
shoulders as any Premier in England 5
history, and at a very important crisis
in her history, That he looks with fa-
yor upon the Irish cause is well known;
how far he will go in that direction is
yetto be seen. But it is reassuring that
one Of his first steps in Irish affairs,
the selection of Mr. John Morley as
Chief Secretary for Ireland, is 50 well
received in that country.
The Washington critic., 1886-02-04
Judge MerricIs's Conilrmation.

Judge Merrick Is native of Maryland,
where he is very well and fayorably known.
The conservative Baltimore Sun says of the
opposition which has developed to his con-
flrmation: "If the Senators who oppose the
confirmation of Judge Merrck as member
Of the District of Columbia bench on the
score of age have no better reason to give
for their action than that II Is dictated by
rule Of the Judiciary Committee, they
ought not TO be surprised II they are rather
sharply criticised. There is no law which
forbids the confirmation of Judge
Merrick, The only thing that stands
in the way Is the practice of the Senate un-
der the rule referred to- TO reject nomina-
tiops for life positions of persons beyond
certain age, Judge MerrIck, it seems, has
passed this. limit, but he IS not Ineligible
under the law, and to refuse TO confirm him
Is, in effect, for the Senate TO enforce
Limitation for which there is no authority
beyond the general power Of that body to
reject nominations. In Judge Merrick's
case there are wcighty reasons why the
Senate SHOULD waive the observance of
rule which, to. say the least, is of very
