TOPICS TALKED ABOUT.

Washburn's Senator Washburn,
of Minnesota, who was
Silver Views. in the city yesterday
morning, but took the
early train for Washington, so as to vote
on the silver question, gave me some
idea of the situation there in brief
talk at the Fifth Avenue hotel, says the
New York Press. 1--WE shall pass a
silver bill through both houses" said
he. '1t will be an amended house bill.
IlshOuld say there will be legal ten
der clause, but no bullion feature. If
the Republicans of the senate stand to-
gether as party men there will be no
free coinage bill passed. If the vote on
free coinage is not on party lines it will
carry. Every Democrat but three is for
free coinage, and there are enough Re-
.publicans who hold the same view to
make up majority. But no free coin
age bill can become law. There are
some people who think the president is
not good for much as politician, but
on this silver question he would be good
for a veto if free coinage bill should
pass. and would save US from being
thrown onto a silver basis. The Nc
Kinley bill will be passed. There will
be reductionS.in many of the schedules
which are now too high-metals, steel
rails, chemicals and such things-but
there will be no change in the larger
features of the bill. like sugar, lead,
ore, hides or tobacco"

by statesmen -of the purest quality?
just imagine old DR.. BENJAMIN
FRANKLIN being guilty of such a scurvy
trick. Or imagine what a storm of
righteous Indignation would have been
provoked If HENRY CLAY or DANIEL
WEBSTER, while occupying cabinet
positions, had done all ungentlemanly
act.
We are getting away from the old
landmarks, and the country is the worse
for it. The rising generation is being
indoctrinated with the idea that every
thing goes if there is money i'll it, and
as result as people we are falling
lower and lower in the moral scale.

THE DOWNWARD SCALE.

The old time idea that high sense of
business integrity was essential for a
successful public career has fallen into
the sere and yellow leaf. There was
a time, and within the remembrance of
many now living, when a public man
guilty, or even suspected of crooked
ness in business affairs, would have been
bounded from Office and relegated to
perpetual obscurity. Under the old con-
ditions it was not necessary that pub
lie man should be convicted of some
violation of law; but if it was supposed
that he would engage in business
transaction that was not thoroughly
honorable and entirely in accord with
the department of gentleman, he was
deemed unworthy Of public station and
would be forced by the power of public
sentiment to retire from the public serv-
ice.
This comparison between the old and
the new ideas concerning the proper
qualifications for public men IS suggest
ed by the recent exposure of Mr.. WANA
MAKERS book piracy. Among the other
branches of private business that Mr..
WANAMAKER is running in connection
with the governments postal depart
ment is book-publishing house. An
English publishing house recently got
out an encyclopedia of great value.
which Mr.. WANAMAKER could not ham
die because the exclusive right had
been sold to another American book
publishing house. 1t is we'll enough
understood among all business men
| that purchase of an exclusive right
| to anything entities the purchaser to
| the field. For another to sell limitations
/ of the genuine article is regarded as
| the scurviest trick in trade. And yet
| that is just what Mr.. WANAMAKER is
accused of doing. and which he virtually
admits. He denies that he put re-
print of the foreign book on the mar
ket, which is technically true. yet in
the light of morals a falsehood, for he
employed the skill of photographer to
reproduce the foreign edition, and it is
the photographed edition that Mr..
WANAMAKER is selling. There is no
| rule of ethics by which MI. WANA-
MAKERS piracy can be justified, and it
|
on the American idea of conducting
business affairs if the American
people undertook to justify it as a
| legitimate business enterprise. In the
first place, Mr.. WANAMAKER is deceiv-
ing the public by palming off upon
them a counterfeit article in place of
the genuine. In the next place, he has
appropriated the labor. the brains and
the money of other men expended in
the work of getting out the original
publication.
| Still Mr.. WANAMAKER passes for
model Christian gentleman who is thor
oughly typical of the best American
society, and enjoys the personal con-
fidenee of the chief magistrate of the
nation to an extent that no other public
man does.
Isn't it bad advertisement for the
| United States when men who have so
! little respect for business ethics are per-
mitted to hold public station, and to oc-
cupy places that should only be filled

PUTTING UP LANDS.

The assessors at Chicago propose to
signallze their official career by a de-
parture from the current methods of
valuing real estate for taxation in the
direction of the recent doctrines of land
reformers. They will assess unim-
proved real estate on the same basis as
the neighboring property that has build
ings upon it. The theory is that the
unimproved realty is held for specula-
tive purposes, and shares the benefit OF
the enterprise of the owner of the ada
cent lands. By treating the unimproved
in the way proposed it is assumed that
it will become less profitable to hold on
speculation, and be forced into market
Its increased taxation will lessen the
share of the industrious t0iler, who has
built him home near by. AS the mat
ter is sometimes stated, the common
way imposes fine Oh the man who has
the enterprise to improve his property.
He is burdened, while the speculator is
benefited by his Improvements. Proba-
bly, some legal embarrassments will be
found in the way of the assessors. The
COLoUIIuliOi diu laws vi 1iibe oIoeO 0OiO
not framed with view to this method
of assessment. Equality of taxation is
specially enjoined. The improved lots
may have vast structures upon them
that bring in great revenue. The va
cant lots near by are not filling the
pockets of the owner as long as he holds
them for speculation. However just it
may be to tax him more than his neigh
Dor, he will be apt to find protection in
the courts. The assessors also are
sworn to assess property at its actual
value, and not as punishment to the
holder for keeping it out of the market.
1t will be of interest to note what sue
cess is had in this new departure at
Chicago, if it is attempted.

PROVISION has been made in New
York for shortening the legal forms
in conveyances of real estate from two
thirds to three-fourths. The law re-
quires the courts to give the full effect
to the concise and explicit statements.
DAVID DUDLEY FIELD is endeavoring
to have the same verbal simplicity eX-
tended to all legal papers. His stand
ing in the legal profession gives his
opinion great weight. The conserva-
tism of the legal systems is nowhere
more apparent than in the tenacity with
which the needless formulas of slower
times are adhered to, but the dead
weight will disappear in time.

NOT A PROPHET.

Uncle JERRY RUsK evidently failed
to impress the president with his faith
the other day when he put in the public
ear the statement that he was making
so good president that he would be
caught on the popular shoulder and ca r
ried past the 1892 crisis in whirl. He
said: "Nothing can stop his renomina-
ton and reelection" No doubt he was
as honest in his view as he was when, as
governor, he said: 81 seen my duty and
l done it," but his vision was defective.

hensible when even the president, with

THEY CALL THIS FAIR PLAY.
London Police Prohibit the Ill
paid Clerks Meeting.

LONDON, June 20.-Presumably In
pursuance of orders from the home Of
fee, the police authorities have an
nounced their prohibition of the mon
ster meet ing of the clerks union, which
it was intended to hold on the steps of
the royal exchange tomorrow. 1t has
not occurred to the police, however, to
interfere with the immense meeting in
advocacy of the governments compen-
sation bill, which is to be held in Vic
toria Park tomorrow, support of gov
eminent measure being quite differ
ent matter from agitation on the part of
ilI-paid and overworked clerks for the
amelioration of their condition. 1t will
be remembered that the police did ev-
erything they possibly could, short of
actually dispensing the crowds, to inter-
fere with the meeting to protest against
compensation which was held in Hyde
Park two weeks ago, but it will excite
great amazement if any stumbling
block shall be placed in the way of the
supporters of that measure tomorrow.

selves beyond his power to control, and
that the vaulting ambition of this rash
young man will bear him to defeat at
the polls. If it does there Will be no

BERLIN, June 20.-At a great meet
ing of Socialists here to-day Herr Bebel
spoke strongly against useless strikes.
He said that many errors in the matter
of strikes had recently been committed
throughout Germany. A majority of
his colleagues, Intoxicated by the result
of the election, believed they could do
what they liked with the middle class.
1t was mistake; the leaders must act
with caution. Referring to the boycott
recently placed on the Bavarian beer
brewed in Berlin, he said the weapon
of the boycott was abused. and that the
leaders of the workingmen were in
competent. The meeting was not in
accord with Herr Bebel. and voted want
of confidence in the Berliner VOlks
blatt, because that paper has taken
Bebel's view of strikes. 1t was decided,
however, to remove the boycott On Ba-
varlan beer, the brewerieS having ar
ranged compromise with the strikers.

night. This is taking snap Judgment on
