SECRET ISLANDERS TO BE REBCKED.
The Senate Republican caucus has decided
rightly in regard to the refusal of information
by President Cleveland. The President has
placed himself in position utterly inconsistent
with his professed desire for Civil Service re-
form, and for conducting the service on bust
ness principles. He has pretended to select
men, not to reward them for partisan services,
but on account of fitness. His stubborn refusal
to give any information regarding the removal
of a great number of efficient and worthy Off
GERS who have been removed can have no other
reason than desire to conceal from the pubic
the fact that such removals were made contrary
to his professions and pledges, in disregard OF
public interests, and for no better end than 10
reward partisan workers.
The well-known and disgraceful truth is that
the President has allowed secret ISLANDERS
against worthy Republican officials to serve as
pretexts for their removal or suspension and
now does not dare to place those ISLANDERS In the
daylight, where they can be confronted by the
men wronged, because their falsity and foul
ness would be proved and would disgrace his
influential supporters and advisers. The he-
publicans of the Senate properly decide that
the men who have been put into place by sucn
dishOnorable devices shall not be confirmed
until the President will consent to do simple
Justice to the faithful officials who have been
removed or suspended, by clearing away the
imputatiOn dishonesty made against them
The people will sustain the Senate in this
course. Sooner or later the President will
discover that ne was right i'll one of his earliest
declarations, namely, that the Government
ought to be conducted behind glass doors. If
he had so conducted it in the matter of re-
movals and appointments, he would not now
be distrusted as he is by good citizens of both
parties.
The majority report of the judiciary Com
mIttee of the Senate will be found substan-
tally in full on the third page of The TRIB-
UNE. Therein are set forth the reasons which
have moved the Republican Senators to as
sumo their present attitude, and they are I'M
answerably just.

FOR BJuETALLISM ALVAyS

Here is the old falsehood again The TRIB-
UNI is @for gold monOmetallism." Perhaps
it deludes some who do not read THE TRIBUNE
at all, or do not read with the spirit and the
understanding also. The truth can be stated
in very few words.
THE TRIBUNE has never favored mono
metalism Of either sort. 1t does not believe
say, and has never believed or said, that it
would be better to use gold separately, or silver
separately. 1t opposes, as it has always OPP
posed, an attempt to dive gold out of use, or
to drive silver out of use, and thus has always
been in favor of bimetallism. Hence it op-
poses measures which, like the present coinage
act, tend to drive gold out of the country by
forcing into general use silver coin actually
worth far less than its nominal value. The
ratio between metals In coinage should be
governed by the indisputabls facts and if
412 1-2 grains of silver are in fact worth only
eighty cents. no good can be done by stamping
that coin one dollar.
Broadly, nothing can be gained by con-
tinuing to coin currency that pretends
