WITH The COMMITTEE.

Secretary Window has had a confer
ence with n house committee on coin
age. lie has prepared an amendment
to the measure he first proposed in or
der to overcome objections that relate
to imported silver. lie CAV it rs his
opinion that there is no valid objection
To the clause in the bill which vests ar
bitrary power i'm the secretary of the
treasury to suspendthe purchase of bull
lion. AS he puts it. San excellent feat
ure OF the discretionary power vested
in the secretary would be its deterrent
effect on speculation in silver"
On this point Mr.. Window is squarely
ut issue with every advocate of just
treatment of silver. The secretary
nay be II master in finance, but the
country is mt odds with him and we do
not believe thai he can convince the
friends Of silver that he only is right
while all the rest are wrong. One of
the cardinal objections to Mr.. WINDOWS
plan was that it utterly failed To meet
h terms of the declaration in h ma
tional republican platform of 1883, and
that it made silver practically u com
modify. degrading it from its function
as u money metal. This point is dis
Mr.. Window cavalierly remarks that
he regards this as n sentimental objec-
tiOn."
Thus il develops that Mr.. Window
and the advocates of silver are quite as
far apart as they ut first appeared to
be. There is in the plan proposed by
MIR. Window hardly a line that the
West approves. On the other hand,
none of the objections raised again the
measure are deemed worthy of more
than passing comment by the secretary.
Mr.. Window n to give silver just
Il chance-aS much Us he fancies the
country bear without "endangering
business interests" while silver asks
tn he restored to it's full function and
its rightful place in the currency in
order to be a blessing to the debtor
classes and to every producer in the
land. Mr.. Window has no idea OF
meeting h expectation of the West
where anticipations of fair treatment
of silver by IA Harrison administers
ton have been speedily dissipated.

JUSTICE AND HER CAPeRS.

That the law sometimes becomes an
instrument of injustice is necessary
and inevitable in n world where judges
and juries are mortal, and where con-
dition5 and circumstances are exceed

at-law hinges upon the commission of
u single act. and when boil parties

to, then Justice, it would appear, should

Street Car Propulsion.

1t is becoming very evident that tho
cablo is falling out of competition with
electricity for street car propulsion.
The cable, as factor in rapid transit,
has manifest advantages, but the in
ilexibility of tho system, as regards
speed, must always prejudice its use in
crowded streets. So long as the track is
clear cable cars proceed admirably, and
without any special danger Of accident.
but rs soon as the pavcments arc
blocked, which so often happens, the
danger of the use of tho cable becomes
apparent 1t is worry difficult to work
through crowded thorougfare without
tho ability to back car or to run it at
greatly reduced speed. 1t is just here
that the electric car is so manifcstly
superior, as it can be started, stopped,
or reversed with the greatest ease and
safety. Again, the cable system is I'M
able to make up lost time; cable car
once delayed must stay delayed, while
an electric car can put on speed at any
favorable moment. The inconvenience
to tho public, too, of the frequent breaks
In tho cableis exaspcrating as the cable
Is then useless throughout its entire
length. On tho other hand, it is seldom
that an electric car is crippled in such a
way as to interfere with ordinary traiiic.
