country would be the repeal Of the laws

TIE RECENT developments in the case of
the pan-electric telephone company, bad as
they are. exhibit only small degree of the
vast extent to which legislation and specu-
lation are mingled by the men to whom the
people entrust their governmental affairs.
No legislation, TO be sure, has been enacted
in the particular case referred to, but still
the fact that so many prominent officers OF
the Government are interested in it, without
the investment of a single dollar, has a
bad look, and gives the captious plausible
ground for complaint. 1t is notorious
fact that large number of congressman
are heavy spectators, and that, too, in
matters upon which congressional legisla'
tion has direct influence.

THE SILVER bill recently introduced in
the Senate by Mr.. Sherman has been dubbed
by some sSherman's Warehouse Certificate
Bill" but why so, any more than the bills
now in operation, is hard to tell, as, while
the former provides for the issue of certif
Gates on deposit of silver bullion, which
will be stored in the vaults of the Treasury,
under the latter the same sort of certificates
are issued on deposit of silver dollars,
which are also stored in the Treasury
vaults and which the people will not use
for currency any more than they will use
silver bars. The advantage is altogether on
the side of the former, as by it the great ex-
pense of coinage would he saved.

MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY J.

AND NOW it has been discovered
that under the republican administra-
lions the public lands in Utah were
disposed Of 50 az to profit certain
individuals and rings to the extent OF
millions of dollars, and that, consequently,
the Government was robbed to exactly the
same amount. And yet there are republi-
cans who have said that the affairs OF the
Government during the period referred to
were conducted with scrupulous honesty.
As the months roll round and the demo
Gratis have time to investigate the several
departments, it becomes more and more
apparent that the republican regime OF
twenty. four years was the epoch of mon
umental fraud and corruption in all the
different branches Of the Government.
