SOVIRE'S HEAD FALLS

Governor Hill touched the button yesterday
and the knife fell upon Rollin NJ. Squire neck
severing his official head from his shoulders
with admirable precision and cclerity. So
sudden and sharp was the stroke that Squire
could not convince himself that he was dead
until some hours had passed after the
cxccutioncr had done his work, and
his friends rubbed their eyes III
bewilderment, refusing to believe thai
the guilotine had performed its fatal Office.
The members Of the SQuire-Flynn Ring had
been confident that the Governor would al
least delay action, while the victim was as
little apprchensive of his approaching doom as
the condemned man in Paris prison, who Is
awakened from pleasant dream OF commuta-
ton of sentence to sec in his cell the grini
figure whose coming tells him that his lie Is
measured by minutes.
In fact tho hencbmen no ring had been
f,r too boastful for the god of their master.

would not remove Squire. their boasts about
the strength Of their combination at Albany anu
it's power over the Chief Executive OF the o'atc,

stunc him TO speedy action. lie knew that nc
could have no political future if the voters OF
the State suspected that he was under the III
auence of the members of the corrupt gang thai

impudent claims that he would not venture
to act against them naturally excited his Indig-
nation He has done what was a plain and
simple duty without shutting, equlvocation or
DELAY For that he deserves praise. 1t woul
be well if all his official acts had been as clearly
and absolutely commcndable.
Squire has lost the game. He played 1oi
tremendous stakes. but his cards were poor
He tried to make up for this by cheating and
by brag and blustcr. Not one honest and
honorable man in the city will regret his
downfall The city government is well rid OF
him and of his whole troop Of accomplices. II
the Mayor appoints General Newton in his
place, as now seems certain, it will be tho
best appointment he has made since he took
office, one to which no word of objection or
criticism can be raised, and one which will
bc greeted with profound satisfaction by the
community.

FIAT MONTY.

The currency Why should an issue of silver
certificates meet different treatment These
questions are fair and important, and the
answer to them may help to clear away some
mental fogs.
PAPER currency sometimes crculates wholly
because of its purchasing and paying power,
and sometimes because of the value of the thing
promised The latter is essentially rcprcsen-
tative currency; the paper represents some
hing else, and on the value of that something
else its value depends. The former is essen

vests the paper with power to pay debts, and
il is therefore for time accepted in purchases

CON represented. The fiat paper will change

sum- r. people begin to dIslrust it. prices In
such paper go up; the buyer takes a market
basket to carry his Confederate notes. and
brings home what he buys in his pOcker.
Long before snch a paper breaks down thu:
completely. il begins TO lose purchasing power
merely because its ultimate break down is ap-
pretended and earlier still it begins to lose
purchasing power because its supply, compared
with the amount Of money required. proves
excessive. There is more money IN the hands
Of he people than they want, and the cifcc
is that they spend it freely. and that puts u
prices Then more paper is needed for The
same transactions. and so there is apparent
scarcity and then more still Is issued TO NEE
The difficulty, and then it dcpreciates still fur
lhcr. and so the old road is travelled until
the collapse comes.
Cold certificates arc essentially representa-
tive paper. They circulate for exactly The
market value of the metal which they promise
Silver certificates are essentially fiat paper
They circulate for 100 GEMS, though the meta
hey promise is worth only 20 cents. Hence
as everybody knows, no silver certificate Is
taken because OF the silver which it promises
and nobody goes TO got the silver for the notes
The silver certificates are by law and custom
invested with a partial debt paying and pur-
chasing power, and so long as that lasts the,

THE OPPOSITTON LEADERS.

Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Parnell between them
have already undermined Lord Salisbury's lrlsh
policy. The question of evictions Is one which
cannot be deferred until the ides of February
The Government was compelled to make known
its intentions respecting the enforcement or
non enforcement of the law against tenants mo

square the circle by encouraging landlords 10
evict debtors on a large scale, by Justifylng
tenants in not paying rents that were admitted
to be too high, and by proposing scheme ior
indemnifying landlords from the treasury
when the rents could not be paid. Like all
attempts of this kind, the Governments
vague programme for conciliating everybody
has failed. Our London correspondent eA-
plicitly states in his cable letter that the
Tories are losing ground. The country uoes

ton with less disfavOr than Mr. Gladstone

With such marked power in the debates that

Our London correspondent c0rdiaily
nrajses both Mr.. Parnell's and Mr.. Gladstones
speechcs, which followed essentially the same
lines Each in his own way denounced the
Governments crude scheme for making tne
State responsible for the deficiencies IN the
landlords rentrolls, and each predicted rulnous
failure as the inevitable result of attempting
to govern Ireland against Irish opinion. Mr'
Parnell avowed that he was powerless 10
prevent the recurrence of outrages when
were certain to follow evictOns on large
scale: and Mr.. Gladstone, while promising to
enforce legality to the best OF his power
warned the country that it could have no
sect rlty for peace so long as Ireland was not
administered in the Irish spirit. The two
speeches indicate that the alliance between
the Irish and Liberal parties is as close now
"a it was during the last canvass. Under such
powerful leadership the Opposition to the Gov
.rnment must steadily increase in efficiency as
the impracticability OF Ministerial compromises
and make-shifts is disclosed.

THE STREET RAILRo4D TROUBLES

When street-car officials say that they cannot
make both ends meet, if they pay fair wages
for a fair days work. honest men know that
they simply mean that they cannot pay enor-
mously excessive div idends on stock deluged
with water. The Broadway bribeis were forced
to admit under investigation that they capital
lied for millions a road that cost only few
hundred thousand dollars. Other companies
have been Just as interruptions. with such
records they cannot expect public sympathy
in their controversies with their men, especially
when they violate agreements.
The present managers of the Broadway Line
bought the control of it knowing full well
that the charter llad been obtained by the most
Infamous bribery aud fraud. They are rightly
punished when they find themselves obstructed
in the enjoyment of the stolen goods which
they bought with complete knowledge that
they were stolen. But this fact in no way
excuses or palliates the lawless and rlotous
deeds of some of the strikers yesterday. Men
seeking work at the street railway offices have
been threatened with violence and IN more
than one instance have been brutally assaulted.
A troop of desperate ruflians attacked cars
running on Third-ave forced driver to stop
at the point of the pistol overturned one car
and threw two Others from the track. The
great mass Of the strikers cannot sympathize
with such an outbreak as this. Our police force
will suppress all such rioting with strong
hand, and our courts will deal sternly with
such offenders. Let these rioters take warming
from the result of the Anarchist trials in
Chicago. Seven men are to go to the scaffOld
there for conspiring to commit murder In a
street riot Ruilians who draw pistols on men
whose only offence is that they are hard at
work for an honest living will find that New
York knows how to deal with lawbreakers with
all the vlgor that Chicago has shown.

in the long run to determine prices. In the
old days when q food of small bank notes cov-
cred the land. while wholesale operations Oh
commerce were mainly carried on In gold, the
people who received the dstrusted and risky
notes, not knowing which Of them represented
a bank that had broken already or might break
over night, charged for the risk and for the
trouble Of getting rid Of them quickly. 80
retail prices were constantly inflated, and these
fix maximum beyond which wholesale prices
do not 90. With large latitude for expansion,
wholesale prices were readily pushed up by
speculation, and an era of high prices prevailed
throughout tho country. The proposal to use

coin, in place Of legal tenders which represent
gold. and in place Of bank notes, in all the
small transactions OF retail trade. threatens
to initiate prices just as they were inflated when

from.nearly every townof importance along the
Erie and other principal Canals. 1t was rep
7csentatiye gathering and did its work in
thoroughly business-likc way The principal
point at issue was the question whether or not
the Federal Government should be asked to
appropriate money for deepening and otherwise
improving the Erie Canal. The affirmative
support Of this proposition came mostly from
Buffalo; Representative Weller, of that city,
having asked Congress TO appropriate $4,000.

this side, but the sentiment of the convention
was decidedly in favor Of letting tho State
improve its canals. A resolution was adopted
In favor Of plcdging candidates for the Legis-
lature TO vote for an appropriation of $1,000

result and vigorous campaign is promised,
