DEMOCRATIC papers have a perfect
right to express their sympathy with the
Sioux Indians, but when they charge
that the present troubles are due to
s'rascally Indian agents" they invite un-
pleasant comparisons. Mr.. Cleveland
appointed as agent of the Sioux Indians
a man named Israel Green, of Virginia.
He had served in the confederate army,
but his chief recommendation was that
he assisted in capturing old John Brown,
and struck him several times with his
sabre when the old man was wounded
and disarmed. When Green was first
appointed the Senate refused to confirm
him, and the President appointed him
again during the recess. After his ap-

And old Sitting Bull. the Injun,
Heap big Injun, quit his lighting,
Omit his try ing to skedaddle,
Quit his lying and his cheating,
And his stealing. and his whisky.
Laid aside his evil habits.
And took straightway his departure
For the Kingdom of Ponemah,
For the land of the hereafter.
Mourn not for the tough old Injun.
Shed no bitter drops OF anguish
Ger the grave OF this old Injun.
He has missed one piercing sorrow.
One soul-harrowing affiicti0n.
One heartbreaking frightful horror
He will never see tho pictures

REPRESENTATIVE TILLMAN, of South
Carolina. who spoke in favor of the new
apportionment bill and in defense of the
census, is brother of Governor-elect
Tlllman, of South Carolina. He showed
that there never had been acensus taken
of which complaints had not been made.
He traced history of the several CEN
suses, and proved that these complaints
began with the very first census, and
that they were as unfounded then as
they are now. He said that in his judg-
ment the census which has just been
taken by Superintendent Porter is as
accurate one as has ever been made,
and that, while there may be errors in
it, it's general accuracy could not be sue
cessfully assailed. Mr.. Tillman said
that, while Democrat, he felt COM
PEELED to make this admission, and did
not think it Just to Mr.. Porter, or to the
Republican party. for that matter. to at
tempt to decry this census. If Mr.. Till
man continues to tell the truth in this
manner he will be read out of the Dem
ocratic party.

MAYOR GRANT. of New York, has ap-
pointed ex-Alderman Paddy Diver and
John j. Ryan police justices. The office
is judicial one, worth several thousand
dollars a year, and the full term is ten
years. The two appointees are typical
Tammany workers. Diver has had en-
vloyment about the courthouse, and
claims to have studied law between
times, while Ryan is an undertaken and
makes no pretension to legal knowledge.

AN ARTIFICIAL DIFFICULTY.

1t cannot be too frequently stated that
the present monetary difficulty is in no
manner attributable to the legitimate
business and industry of the. country
There has been no shrinkage in real
values in merchandise or in paying
properties. There was never better
demand nor larger consumption of the
staples of the country than there was
when the stringency came on. In spite
of the stringency and the doubt, values
in merchandise have been we'll sus-
tanned. The whole difficulty is due pri-
marily to speculation in stocks which
have no money earning value, or upon
properties whose value had been in
fated. There was no less money in Eu-
rope when the Barring Brothers were on
the verge of suspension than there was
year earlier. 1t was not money they
needed SO much as borrowing capital.
Could that house have disposed of its
deprecated and unstable Argen-
tine securities at anything like
their Nee value, or at the
price they commanded year
before, the Barings would have had all
the money they needed. 1t was in the
country. 1t was the borrowing capital
of the Bank of England and other insti-
tutions in which money owners had con-
fidence, and not its money, that helped
them out. When the slump in the arti-
fetal prices of stocks, which knewno

street, their calamity came, not because
there was no money in the banks, but
because the "bullsn had no borrowing
capital to put against money. Their
stocks had shrunk in value, and those
who had loaned them checks rather than
money to purchase them would no longer
let them have checks on the same Sc
curity. The stocks had lost their value
as borrowing capital. If the spectators
had been able to put up good collaterals
the bankers would have been glad to
have furnished them checks, which
would have passed for money, and all
would have been we'll Not having such
securities. bankers very naturally de-
manded an ex0rbitant price for
loans to balance for the risk.
There was as much money in the
hands of bankers or money owners
as ever, but they would not lend it on
stocks which have only a value for spec
ulative purposes. To the loss of conf
dence in speculative properties can be
attributed the monetary stringency.
Suspicion once aroused, it finds incite-
ment in everything-the silver legisla-
ton, the free-coinage excitement and
whatever rumor that is set afloat. But
it had it's origin in the forced deprecia-
ton of stocks which have value chiefly
for gambling purposes. There is no
reason why it should extend beyond such
transactions. There is more money in
the country than ever, and any addition
will not help matters very much until
those who own or control it will let it go
into circulation. As leading banker
in Boston recently remarked: "There is
more scarcity of confidence than money,
and there is no reason for the scarcity of
conf;deuceo

The advocates of free silver coinage
never tire of telling the public that
France has had great success with the
double standard, the inference being
that France and the Latin Union are yet
coming silver on the same terms as gold.
Such is not the case. France and the
Latin Union have never had free coinage
for silver, and France does not now
dream of such a thing. The Latin Union
was formed to limit the coinage of silver
to given amount to each government
in the Union for a specified period.
When the period expired such coinage
ceased. The double standard in France
is the same as here. 1t has large
quantity Of silver which is legal-tender
money, but it is not increasing that vol
ume. France is ready to join other
nations in restoring silver to full money
power, but it has no idea of volunteering
to take the silver of all Europe by estab-
fishing free silver coinage.

The passage of the apportionment bill
in the House by a vote of more than
two-thirds is not only testimonial to
the fairness of the Republican COM
mittee in constructing so important a
measure. but practical vindication of
the general accuracy of the census.
Yefcrence TO the vote shows that forty
Democrats, including nearly every
prominent leader in the South, voted
for the bill. With the passage of the
bill the strenuous efforts of Tammany
and the Democratic. newspapers in New
York TO discredit the federal census in
that city come to naught.
