Tho very abundance Of silver in

The very abundance Of silver in
this country with wise craftsmanship
would be the surest and speesiiest
way Of paying off-wiping out, alb
solutely Kidding the people Of the
burdens of public debt. Because
OF its abundance the mono-iaetalists-
the gold standard men, demand that
no more of il be coined into money
We almost wonder that the same
class has not raised protest against
the growth OF agricultural products.
because the supply produced is 80
largely in excess of the home demand
that We export largely to Europe.
And 50 likewise. should our country
upon the same reasoning stop making
wheat into flour. The men who will
unite with foreign countries 70 cry
down the price of silyerin the interest
OF foreign bond-holders arc neither
wise or patriotic.
FRS. the knaves who deprecated
the treasury note Of the government
by having two exceptions placed up
on its back-.'Interest on the public
debt and custom duties, obtain
from congress a law making their
bonds, bought with a currency thus
deprediated 50 per cent, payable in
coin. then the knaves procfire from
congress law demonetizing one halt
the coin OF the country. The people
were 80 indignant at this outrage that
they elect a congress which partially
relnonetizes silver over the veto of u
truculent tool of the bondhoiding
aristocracy of Wall street. Change
Alley, and Lombard street.
These knaves desire to peIpetuate
the bonded debt Of the country, max
ing its people '.hewers of wood and
drawers Of water" for all time to
come. The abundance Of one OF the
metals of the coin in which the debt
Is PAYABLE threatens its extinction.

the country to unite IN their cry Tor

In the course OF q sermon last
Sunday on the evangelization Of New
York, the Rev. Heber Newton said;
The churches have been converted
to the paganism Of political economy;
unless the clergy look sharp they
will find that they have accepted
retainers from capital-their position
and their lips are silenced when labor
piteously cries for justice. No word
against the root evils of our industrial
system is spoken from hosts OF the
pulpits, whence the carpenters son
has been driven by mamlnon. The
poor man hears the gospal Of pro-
putty proputty, propntty" Charity
is preached, but not justice, and it is
not charity, but justice, that the
world needs. If the ethical forces Of
the church were turned on these
problems some solution would soon
be found. The failure to find a So
tuition il a terrible indictment of
Christianity. As class the very poor
here are as irreligious as the very
rich, and we are gravitating into q
city of the extremes. We have two
dangerous classes to contend with.
10 it any wonder that religion seems
disappearing in the gulf where \ pros
porous and q yirtuous middle class
has gone down. II we can convert
the rich / have no fear about the
poor. When their big brothers on
earth are brotherly they will believe
IN q Father in heaven. 1t is high time
for our rich men to remember that o
city which loses its religion will not
keep its wealth. Property then had
better be put again into diamonds.
Real estate in q Sodom is liable to q
sudden sllrinkage.

The New York Postof flee.

In many things President Harrison
has done well, and for these we give
him all credit, but one Of his latest
acts seems to be sad mistake: that
is the appointment Of Cornelius Van
Colt to be postmaster of New York.
We believe Mr.. Van Colt to be per-
sonally an honest and capable man,
and that he will endeavor to make his
administration of the Office success.
Our objection to him is not person
al one, but has regard to the princi-
ple involved. Since 1873 when Presi-
dent Grant appointed T. l.. James to
control the New York Postoffice, il
has been kept entirely out Of politics.
The late postmaster, Mr.. Pearson.
who was promoted to that office by
Garfield, carried out the policy Of his
predecessor in that ,nattar SO success
sfully as to win general approval ffoia
the business men and the newspapers
Of the city. In April. 1885. speaking
OF the reappointment Of Ir. Pearson
by Mr.. Cleveland. the Tribune raid:
1t satisfies the public, because it il
a good thing In itself: because Mr.
Pearson is one OF the many Republi
can officials who have proved SO con
spicuously fit that their removal, on
whatever ground. and irrespective OF
the personal merit OF anyone who
u n<x,.1 in sfAA IL
be Il positive detrilnent to the public
service. Such IN appointment is, OF
course, to be commended most hearth
" as a good thing in itself. In
itself this appointment Il admirahle.
Mr.. PearsOn's unquestioned and su-
perior fitness renders his retention in
Office the clear duty of q President
who means to improve and not de-
grade the public service.
But now this same Republican post
master, who, because OF his ''conspic-
nous fitness for the Office and In de.
ference to the wishes Of the business
community, was reappointed by q
Democratic President, has been super
seeded by q Republican President.
And not only SO, but instead OF pro-
noting a competent Republican who
was available within the Office, Mr..
Harrison has handed it over to a man
who, above all other things, is par
tisan of the most pronounced type.
Mr.. Van Colt has no eX-
perience in postoffice work, and will,
be at great disadvantage,
and have to rely on his subordinates
far more than the head OF any insti-
tuition should do. If the spoils system
is correct in principle, then Mr.. Har-
rison has chosen well; Mr.. Van Colt
will be as fair and as competent a
postmaster us the city could look for
under that system. But II the post
Office belongs to the people and ought
to be conducted solely in the inter-
ests Of the people. then Mr.. Pearson
should have been retained, Or q CON-
potent official, who was acquainted
with the work, should have been pro-
NOTED.
Mr.. Harrison had, however. warn
ing in the example Of Mr.. Cleveland,
who Is said to have lost New York by
reason Of the disgust felt by the party
workers ut his holding SO tempting y
plum as the New York PostofIice be-
yond their reach. Ii Mr. Harrison
should decide to run for another
term, the appointment of Mr.. Van
Colt will be worth a great many votes
to hiln.-New York Weekly Witness,

DR.. Milen.

DR.. Milen does not seek to con-
denim the profession, nor any men,
Der of it, but if there be the least
trace of honesty left in it, it must
confess that in this department of
medicine it is woefully behind the
times, and even in this advanced
age, stands helpless aud impotent
in the presence of many of these
diseases. Is is not true2 DR..
Milen devotes his entire time to his
specialties alone, and challenges
anyone to show more of advance
ment or better evidences of COM
plete success, NO matter whether it
be east or west, north or south, in
the medical profession or out of it.
In doing or saying this there is no
desire to boast or to appear ego
tistical, but there are SO many who
stand ready, from selfish motives, to
dispute, cr1ticise and condemn
everything that does not subscribe
to their dictum. After your physi-
clan has failed to cure you, and you
ask his advice about consulting DR..
Milen, why does he advise you not
to see him2 Because he knows
that if DR.. Milen says he can cure
you, he wiD do it, and your phvsi-
clan would rather DR.. Mllen was
deprived of the opportunity. Dr..
Milen invites everyone to come to
his Office and see him and get &C
qualnted. If you are suffering from
any trouble, get a free examination
and advice. No matter whether
you take treatment Dr. not, you will
be just as welcome, and treated
with just as kindly and considerate
attention, and a complete and
critical analysis given of your case.
