gold In the payment of the pub
lie debt, except what is now
coined. 1t will, In short, perform no
part in the measure of the standard Of
our money. Gold will be the sole none
tary metal and the sole standard of
money. Silver will be regarded and
placed among the base metals. If silver
Is not to be rated by the law with gold,
and to have access to our mints, there Is
no more reason for issuing these notes
on silver than there would be on other
base metals, such as zinc, lead, iron or
copper. The Secretary's plan for re-
deemiDg these notes is objectionable.
They are to be redeemed in silver bull
lon or in gold at the option of the gov
eminent, or in silver dollars on the
demand of the holder. This will require
two redemption funds, bullion fdnd
equal In amount to the notes outstanding
and coin fund Of standard silver dol
lars in amount equal to the sum of GER
tifcates outstanding would be required
in the treasury. If we stop the coinage.
where is the coin to come from? The
government has now only six millions
in silver dollars not required TO redeem
silver certificates outstanding. If it is
proposed TO call in these certificates as
fast as the new notes are issued.
there will be nothing gained to the
circulation. Besides, so soon as the
treasury notes amount to the sum or
our present coinage their issue will have
to be suspended for want of silver dol
lars with which to redeem them, for the
reason that the secretary's plan cODtem-
plates an entire suspension of the cOln-
age of standard silver dollars.

SILVER COINAGE.

1t makes no practical difference what
views the president or his secretary of
the treasury may have on the question
of silver coinage. That issue was dis
posed of. so far as the Fifty-first con-
greSs is concerned, when Mr.. REED was
elected speaker. The president talked
at the subject and around it in his mes
sage. just as he did on pretty much
every other subject-without commit
ting himself to any definite policy. He
says in one breath that he is an advo-
cate of the use of silver in our currency
because we are large producers of the
metal, and should not diScredit it. Yet
in the next breath he hints at the dan
ger of increasing the ratio of coinage,
and warns congress not to tread on the
dangerous edge of such a peril. In
other words, the chief aim of the mes
sage was to shoulder all the response
bility of this and other measures upon
congress. And it seems that the Re-
publican majority in the lower house of
congress anticipated the presidents
two-faced attitude when they elected
Tom REED speaker. They wanted a
man with opinions to define policy for
them. Mr.. REED knows where he
stands, and. although he stands in Op-
position to the interests of the masses,
he is not afraid to express himself. He
is an enemy of the silver dollar, and he
intends to put his party in line on this
question,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Secretary
Window makes public his first annual
report to-day. The government receipts
for the year ending June 30. 1889, were
1887, 050, 05S, of which 1928, 1872, TAI was
from customs, Sl30,SS ,5l3 from internal
revenue and $40, 165, 1854 from profits on
coinage, etc. The expenditures were

civil expenses. 1,S97, 625 for foreign in
tercourSe, SS7, 624, TO for pensions and
81 .00l, 4S4 for interest on public debt.
This leaves a surplus of s105, AS, of
which S47, 5S3,313 was used for redemp-
ton of notes and bond purchase,
leaving a net surplus Of S57,47O,-
100. The receipts were $780,
9SS greater than for last year,
the chief increases being S6.5S4,641 in
the internal rev enue, and S4,74l.56S in
customs. The increase in expenditures
was So, 3 $40 CSC. The secretary estimates
that in millions the receipts for 1890
will be 3S5, expenditures, 293, for sink
ing fund As. leaving net surplus of
S43. CTS, SS3. The revenues in 1891 are
expected to reach 1856, 600, 900, from
which there will be q net surplus OF

THE SUPREME COURT.

In calling the attention of congress to
che necessity for remedial legislation
in relation to supreme court affairs.
the president has simply suggested
what every lawyer and every newspaper
in the country has been discussing for
the last five years. Still, the necessity
for relief Is Just as urgent, or even more
50, than when the matter was first agi-
tated. The condition of the supreme
court is simply shocking. and is getting
worse all the time. There are now 1.5OO
cases dOcketed for the current term,
and yet it will be impossible for the
judges to dispose of more than One-third
of them within the year. As the bust
ness now stands, it takes from four to
five years for case to come before the
court, and this outrageous delay is in
cTeasing by at least one year every term
Of five years. 1t is stated on author
ity of the clerk of the supreme
court that one full years bust
ness has been added TO the cal
endar since 1856. with the prospect
that the business will increase more
rapidly in the next three years. Instead
of catching up with the calendar and
clearing up the court docket, the Judges
are falling farther and farther behind
each succeeding year, and will continue
TO do so unless congress can find some
way to relieve the situation. Such state
of affairs amounts to distinct denial of
justice, and in many eases to those least
able to bear it.
In indOrSing the presidents recon-
mendatiOns on this subject we are sorry
to have to couple with the Endorsement
a criticism Oh his course in relation to
filling the vacancy on the supreme
bench. He has helped to pile up the
business on the supreme court calendar
by Withholding the appointment of an
associate Justice for SO long a time. and to
very cOnsiderab bic extent has added to
the labOrs of the judges who are already
OveTwOrked. The DELAY has been occa-
stoned by the presidents anxiety to
hold the place for his personal friend
and former law partner, Attorney Gen
eral MILLER; yet he was afraid to make
the appointment because he lacked the
assurance that the senate would con-
firm it. The fear was a reasonable one.
for there is popular impression that
Gen. MILLER is no grea shakes of a
lawyer, and it is certain that he has
made rather an Indifferent attorney
general. If he had appointed Judge
BREWER Immediately upon the creation
of the vacancy, and, if necessary, called
an extra session of the senate to confirm
the appointment, the country would
have approved his course. There is no
question but that Judge BREWER's
nomination would have been promptly
confirmed, and thus the business of the
supreme court would have been greatly
facilitated. Instead of that, he pre-
ferred to let the public interests suffer,
in the vain hope of gratifying selfish
desire to exalt favorite. The people
of these United States have no further
use for personal administrations, and if
is about time that President HARRISON
was awakening to consciousness of
that fact

sECTIONALIsM IN FORCE

In a general way, 1t seems likely that the
West will have smaller share of committee
appointments than under the speakership of
CARLISLE. Democrat or KEIFER, Republican.
and that New York and Pennsylvania will
have a larger share. This is not only just
but expedient from party point OF view
New York Times.
That is the way it looks, and it is the
way it will be. Yet we fail to see the
expediency of it from a party point of
view. For the past twenty-five years
the Republican majorities have been
largely garnered in the West. The
importance of the votes of the Western
states has always been recognized in the
distribution of committees. But It
seems to be Mr.. REEDS pur-
pose to abandon this policy and to use
his influence as speaker to plant the
Republican party strictly on Eastern
ground. The New York Times was the
stadvocate and the staunchest friend
Mr.. REED had during the speakership
campaign, and it is supposed to speak
by the card when it says that Speaker
REED intends to make his party a Sec
tional one.

THE little cigarette is not kicking
against the tobacco tax. 1t is thriv-
ing under it. According to the re-
port of the commissioner ofinternal rev.
enue, cigarette manufacturing is the
most prosperous industry in the cOun-
try. The increase in the number of
cigarettes smoked in this country last
year is something near 100000. And
yet the president says that tobacco cult
ure is an important agricultural industry
which needs TO be relieved from taxa
ton, while the workingman should be
forced to continue paying double price
for his flannel shirt and for the salt that
goes into his bread. The presidents
tariff views seem to be based upon the
theory that the cigarette is tender
little article that needs the fostering
care of the government, while the work
ingman is a robust fellow who can
stand double taxation. He will discover
later on that the cigarette has no vote,
while the workingman has.

PENSION STATISTICS.

War veterans do not die. They null
tiply. The Mexican war ended forty
years ago, and still 1905 of tho men
engaged in it are on the pension rolls.
According to the pension statistics con-
tanned in Secretary MOBILES report,
there was net increase of 81, 16S names
on the governments pension roll during
the last year. The estimates for the
next fiscal year call for pension ap-
preparation of s97.21O, 252, and if the de-
pendent pension bill passes the require
ments will be Immensely increased. We
gather some idea of the enduring quail
ity of the pension list from the fact that
there are still COS pensioners of the war
of 1912, which closed seventy-five years
ago, and nearly 10000 widows of SOL
dierS of that war

WANT ONE DAY OF REST.
Pilots Object to Toiiing on Sun
day,

LA CROSSE. Wis. Dec. 1.-THE annual
meeting of the Upper Mississippi River
Pilots association closed this evening.
The day was spent in the discussion of
matters relating directly to the raft
towing business. The only thing of
interest to the public was the adoption
of a resolution directing the board of
directors to enter into correspondence
with owners and contractors in regard
to working on Sunday. The pilots are
universally of the opinion that they
ought to have Sunday the same
as other tOilers. LoggerS in the
woods and men in the mills
have Sunday and the pilots say why not
men who push the RATS down the river.
They do not contemplate making de-
mand for it. but will lay the case before
the owners for consideration. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: President.

Joseph Buisson, Wahasha; secretary,

COINAGE OF SILVER.

1t Is a Disturbing Element in the
Financial Plan of the Country.
The secretary states that the cOntin-
ued coinage of silver. at constantly in
creasing monthly quota, is disturbing
element in the otherwise excellent
financial condition of the country.
Mandatory purchases by the govern
ment have proved futile to restore the
value of silver, and even in staying its
downward price. The report then dis
2usSes at length the causes of deprecia-
ton i'm silver, and continues: alt is I'M
questiOnably true that in this country
public sentiment and commercial and
industrial necessity demand the joint
use of both gold and silver as money.
Among the various solutions of the sill
yer problem that have been proposed
are.
Pirst-An International agreement fixing
ratio between silver and gold, ana opening
the minis of the leading nations of the world
to the free coinage of both metals at the
ratio so established.
Second-The present policy of purchasing
and coming S2,0J0,O00 worth of silver per
month. This is now approved by nobody.
The so called silver men oppose it, because it
does not go far enough to meet their wishes;
opponents of silver coinage denounce it be-
cause they deem 1t unwise and dangerous to
increL use the issue of Il coin whose nominal
value is far in excess of its bullion value.
Third Increased purchases and coinage OF
steer to the maximum of 81, 100000 worth
permonth, now authorized by law.
This policy is proposed by many as a
means of increasing our circulation,
which they assert is deficient by reason
OF the retirement of national bank notes:
and also as means of enhancing the
value of silver by absorbing the worlds
surplus product. The net expansion in
the circulation since March l, 1878, has
been S599, 2224. 1893. The average net in
crease per month has been 1882, 204.
S52, 106,45 per annum. The total net
increase has been little over "a per
cent, while the increase in population
has been about SO per cent. In 1878 the
circulation was about S16.50 per capita,
and in 1889 il was about S21.75 per cap
tia. As to the proposition that in
creased coinage would enhance the
value of silver by absorbing the worlds

press the startled mind with a force
that spoken words cannot induce. They
show that the fullest assurance of Sc
curity is but vapory Illusion, and that
the steps are ever along the perilous
edge of the cornice. The slightest
slip may rush one out of time. But tho
chief compensation In the presence of
a great calamity is the development of
sympathy and mutual dependence. The
better nature has its crust torn off, and
men see humanity eye to eye. Quick
hands are reached out to sufferers, and
hearts throb in unison in the common
grief. There is no fellowship like that
born in mutual peril and hardship. Tho
better nature never reveals its true
proportions until the fires of aftliction
burn off the droSs.

NEW ASSOCIATE JUSTICE.

There has been no more creditable
appointment made during this admin
istration than the nomination of Judge
BREWER, whose name was sent TO the
senate yesterday for confirmation az
associate justice of the supreme court
of the United States. Judge BREWER
is still the prime of life, in the en-
jOyment of full mental and physical
yigOr, lawyer of unusual requirements,
possesses a judicial mind, and is in
every way qualified to fill the onerous
and responsible position to which he
has been elevated. Here in the West,
where Judge BREWER is best known,
