COMMENT AND OPINION.

LESSON which this generation needs to
learn, and yet which is apparent in every
honorable and useful way of making money
is to give value received for every dollar
that is galned.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
WITH silver at the highest figure which
it has touched for years our tandard silver
dollar is worth a little less than 75 cents.
Yet there are q great many people who
think that we ought to coin these dollars
twice as rapidly as We dO.-BostOn Journal.
THE commercial and political relations
of our country to Europe are so different
from those of france that the European
governments which ignored the Paris ex-
position will contribute literally to nave it
surpassed and overshadowed by ours. Let
Congress give the worlds fair a local habi-
tation at once and everything else Will fol-
lOw.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.
NOTHING could be more unfortunate
than a long and violent contest over the
organization of MOntana'sf first Legislature,
and we trnst that the people of that State
will let the matter be settled by the courts
and abide by the result. Revolutionary
proceedings i'll become a State which has
just received the dignity of membership in
the Union of States.-Philadelphia In

WHAT is to be done with Mormonismi Its
adherents can hardly be banished from the
country. They must not be killed. They
may be imprisoned. but the D~enitentiary,
to which they go willingly. does not de-
strOy the unlawful practice. What, then.
is the remedy that will extirpate the evil,
which has lasted, and strengthened, and
spread for half a centuryf-Chicago
Tribune.
EUROPEAN powers cannot obtain more
land or influence here without robbing or
depressing some independent nation. Their
further progress in America means an in
fringement upon established government.
and should be resented by the combined
American nations. Let them keep the ter
ritory they have. but do not allow them
an inch more.-Louisville Conrier-JourIal.
The Boston Herald says that facts and
statistics furnish ample evidence, that
President Harrison has yielded to the Re-
publican politicians more than President
Cleveland did to the Democratic politi-
clans. Facts and statistics" couldn't
show anything of the kind. President
Harrison can't remove more Democrats
than President Cleveland put in, ina place
of Republicans removed--Milwaukee SEN
tinel.
THERE is no need for hurry on the part of
this government for action In the affairs of
Brazil. hin are working ont their own
destiny in that country; there is no dis
order. no clash of authority. no jeopardiz-
ing of interests down t-here-nothing at all
to call for precipltate action by this gov
cool, and as long as she does so other
powers should follow her example.-Phila.

EVERYTHING given outright to people
who are capable. with reasonable assist
ance, of helping themselves. Is worse than
wasted. 1t encourages that mode of life
which leads to idleness, and constantly in
creases the number of persons who expect
TO live wholly upon charity. This is al
abuse of the grand idea of taking care oil
the poor. aud the worthy poor are no doubt
! largely sufferers in consequence.-Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette.
