jefferson Davis.

The death Of Jefferson Davis creates
hardly ripple of sensation or
interest. The great days in which
he was chief figure have gone,
and his fame has gone out with
them. Even in the South we believe that
there Ii little reverence for his name for
he was not successful leader, and it il
fact that history will record that he
was not equal to the situation that for
time gave him. He had defects of char,
acter which made him poor director OF
the Confederate fortunes. His Judgment
and jealousies and obstinacies often kept
the right men out of their proper place
and the Confederate cause suffered
thereby perhaps as much as did our OWL
from the like traits In Stanton. There
were marked resemblances In many
points In the character of these two men
and their weaknesses as leaders were
greater than their forces They are both
men whose nobility of figures In his
tory will be sadly marred by their con.
spicuous weaknesses and even mean
nesees.

chief champion of free silver, does not
like Secretary WINDOWS free bullion
measure, but We suspect that If Mr.. Bland
was Republican he would see as clearly
as all the Republican silver men seem
TO be seeing, that the Window plan is
just the thing for them. Mr. Bland
makes the very sound objection to the
plan that 1t puts the whole matter OF
silver imitation under the control of the
secretary Of the treasury, through the
authority he asks for to suspend
the purchase Of bullion in order TO de-
feat possible combinations against the
government /; and also through the dis
cretion reposed in the secretary to
decide the many matters that
will call for the exercise of
discretion in carrying out the provis-
Ions Of the law. The secretary of the
treasury will be good deal bigger man
than the president, and more powerful
than any Wall Street magnate, under
the law Mr.. Window proposes.
This feature in the scheme IL quite suf.
hcient to condemn it. There should be
no such power over the currency en-.
trusted to any man, nor even assumed
by the government.
The project to turn all the silver pro.
duct Of the country into money as soon
~ 1t is mined, at the cost and risk of the
government, with the secretary of the
treasury in control of the tap, is one
that does not commend itself to a sound
judgment In finance and political econ
