The silver Dollar aud Workiuvmcn.

good many workingmen seem to
think that it would be- to their interest
to have the currency Of the country On "a
silver basis. Their argument il that if
silver. instead Of gold, were the stan
dard Of value, money would /" more
plentiful, and that. therefore, there
would be u greater demand for working.
men. They do not seem to take INTO
consideration that II tine currency of the
country were on silver basis. u silver
dollar wouldn't have anywhere near the
purchasing power which It now has. Ii
now circulates on an equality with the
gold dollar. but if silver should BECOME
the standard II wouldn't have more than
three fourths Of the purchasing power
Of the gold dollar. commenting on the
silver dollar in connection with the
wages Of workingmcn, the New York
Herald says that the 'wage earnrrs Of
this country, when acting in unison, ex-
ercise very grave influence, and they
ought. therefore, to be sure that they
are right before they 20 aheai. They
are more seriously affected by u change
in the standard 1T values than any other
class, and, besides, they deserve to bc
paid in that kind Of money which has
the largest possible purchasing power.
When they work hard to get dollar
they ought to have that kind Of dollar
which will purchase one hundred cents
wortl, Of anything they want for them.
selves or their families. Instead. then,
Of u rowing their influence into the
snds of the silver men, they ought to
know that gold dollar, or its exact
equivalent, is the only thing worth hay
ing. Then they know where they are.
They arc the very people of all in this
land to insist with voice and vote that u
sham dollar cheats them out of an
hour = work every day IN the year, AMI
that the government has no right to 10

who is spending the summer at his home
IN Staten Island, New York, which was
but recently received. Mr.. Charleton
expected, he says, to wish himself back
In Flo, ala and his expectation has been
realized, for the variable and bad eli.
.iate there has made him long contin-
ually for the salubrious climate and cool
ing breezes Of his loved Florida. lie
says that the weather, with a given
range Of temperature. is much wa, mcr
AMI oppressive than here. and the sud.
den changes, as occurred two weeks ago
when the thermometer dropped to near
the frerzing point, AMI there was snow
squall close by, are great promoters Of
bronchial troubles. Then he says that
he has heard more complaints Of mala-
rial troubles during the seven weeks he
has been north than he has in Florida
since he knew it..
We look for our old friend down early
this fall, and hope h. has finally come to
the conclusion 10 make Florida his per.
manent home, where he has IN warm u
place in the hearts uf his friends AS he
could wish, and where the climate in.
sures him almost perfect health.

The communication appearing elsewhere
in these columns to-day signed Veteran. -
will be thoughtfully read by all fair
minded citizens. 1t hurls back the
charges of Col. Norris, Republican cadi-
date for auditor general, against General
Sickles, and plainly tells him what the
people think of his asinine performance at
Gettysburg.
If ever man was hoist by his own petard,
Norris bas been by his Gettysburg speech.
From all parts of the state the soldiers
who fought under the one-legged hero,
now SO maliciously attacked, are marking
Norris for disapproval in next November's S
ballot battle. And large share of the
Indignation comes from the men of Norris
party faith. We cheerfully aud con-
tidently hazard the prediction that Norris
has dug his own political grave.

to Republication and they were 30 well
organized as TO be of great service to their
marty. To extend special consideration to
them was an act of unnecessary clemency;
too many of them have been retained in

Gratis have been admitted TO it to leaven
the whole. Such new appointments rs
have been made have proved entirely tit
and have amply shown that it would he
little trouble TO reorganize the force on

lively short period. Certainly the busi-
ness public would put up with some
inconvenience for a season rather than sub
init TO the bullyragging of department by
its appointees. Should the postal railway
clerks persist in their strike, we commend
to the postmaster general the following
from the Philadelphia H9,6rcr, u radical
Republican newspaper:
The postal clerks should not he the masters
of the government; it should be their mas.
ter. 1t should have the uuquestiouable and
unquestioued power to remove one. or all o
them as in its judgment it saw tit, for II
would be an intolerable condition of affairs
which would render it possible for great
society composed of the employees of the
postoilice to, at any time, for real or q
fancied cause, interrupt the correspondence
Of the entire country.
The postmaster general should not ralter
with the Brotherhood of Railway Postal
Clerks for single day nor should be per
NIT one of them To remain IN the govern

satisfactorily filled. Public servants having

VetOjnp Bogus Claims.

The president has already beaten the veto
record. With the twenty disapprovals just
filed he has vetoed more bills than all the
other presidents put together from Wash
ington down. Most of these are private
pension bills, and yet he has signed more
than five times as many as he has vetoed.
Many of them he had scarcely the time to
examine and some he has signed very re-
luctantly, giving them the benefit of the
doubt in his mind. Most of these bills are
extraordinary measures. For the regular
pensioning of all worthy claimants ample
laws, of liberal intent and subject to free
construction, have been passed by success
sive Congresses; and judging from the
many remarkable cases that have passed
the pension Office it must be an extraordi-
nary one indeed that has to go to Congress
for direct relief if it has need of real relief.
Few of the cases which go there ever
get attention from considerable number
OF the members. They are hurried through
the committee which acts largely upon
favor to the respective members having the
cases in charge. For the first time pres-
dent has had such an idea Of the RESPONSE
bilities of his office as TO scrutinize the rea-
sons of the report upon which such bills
are passed, and where the facts plainly
show the case to be an undeserving one
he has vetoed it. He would have been
false to his oath and his office had he done
otherwise.
A fe7" thoughtless people and of the
kind who are always ready to vote away
public moneys with lavish hand are dis
posed to complain and apprehend great
popular disfavor upon the executive for
his course. They are entirely mistaken.
As the vetoes are studied and the reasons
filed by the president are read his course
will more and more meet with popular ap-
proval. He never was as strong as he is
to-day.
