IhE PARIY,s PRECEDENT.

The silver question got into politics
because President IIarrison's chief ad-
visers pitched the issue that way. The
present opposition of the republican
party To the metal surprises no man
who is familiar with the republican
past-the traditions of the party are
against silver. When the greenback
craze was on, nearly n dozen years ago,
the eastern republicans crushed it.
The iiat theory developed SO much
strength i'm Ohio that il captured Mr..
Thurman and other democrats in the
state. When the craze was ut its
height, Mr.. Garfield, MIR. Mckinley and
other republicans faced and fought il
in one of the most earnest and at the
same time of the most intelligent
campaigns Ohio yer witnessed. and
Mr.. Garfield and his associates won.
Then the Ohio republicans FASTENED into
New York state where they helped Mr..
Conkling, Mr.. Schurz. Mr.. Curtis and
others i'm a combined effort TO extermi-
nate the greenback heresy, and here
again the republican leaders won, as
sisted, of course, by a large number of
New York hard money democrats.

ing the idea was drilled into every
listeners mind, at every campaign
gathering. that imitation of the cur
rency of the nation means destruction,
that il is n wild western theory. This
notion is fixed in the thought of
the average eastern voter today. lie
clings 10 the idea that the country's
debtor class is largely in the West and
that the demand for cheap money"
comes from the West. This theory is
utterly at variance with the facts but,
however fallacious. you cannot drive il
cut of the mind of the eastern republi-
can.
To these eastern constituencies the
silver agitation is presented a. a re-
yiyal of the greenback dogma; IL is in
i%iation, they say, and it must be dan
gerous, whatever the guarantees. True,
the platform framed for Mr.. Harrison
committed the republican party TO the
restoration of silver TO Its money func-
ton, but that was merely "A platform

Bill Nye's story of the enterprising
man who proposed to keep his wife's
grave green ii he had to paint il, is
suggested by a case in real life, or more
correctly speaking real death, in Penn
~sylvania. The courts have refused to
set aside a clause in a Philadelphia wo-
mans will which appropriated the sum
of $1,000 for the purchase of flowers
for her grave at all seasons Of the year.
The two cases are not exactly similar,
for it would appear that the relatives
of the Philadelphia woman were not
inclined to decorate her grave even
after the means had been provided
them. II increases ones respect for
the courts to find that they do not en-
courage such cussed as this.

JUSTICE AND BEER.

r. Thomas Fortune. the somewhat
noted negro editor and politician, has
sued a New York saloonkeeper for
$1,000 damages for refusing to sell
him a glass of beer. Mr.. Fortune does
not claim that he was so dry that the
deprivation of the glass of beer injured
his physical system $1,000 worth; but
he does hold that his feelings were SO
lacerated that the sum mentioned will
barely repair the g%rievOus wrongs COM
mitted. lie AYERS that the fifteenth
amendment compels saloOnkeepers TO
sell beer to all applicants who have at
tanned their majority and who have the
price, without regard TO race, color or
previous condition of servitude, and he
will make this a test case for the benefit
of himself in particular and the cOlored
population of the country In general.
II is not enough according to Mr..
Fortune that saloonkeepers permit col
ored people to come or send TO their
places of business for the purpose of
working the growler. The colored man
must he accorded all the privileges
of the joint. lie must be al
lowed TO stand at the bar,
help himself TO the free lunch, toss off
his glass of beer, wipe his moustache
with the stock towel, express his
opinions on politics, base ball, horse
races and ballet girls TO the bartender,
call for more beer and get drunk as
well as the mex man. Any saloon
keeper who makes other rules and regu-
lations will be prone to come to grief.
The case of Mr.. T. Thomas Fortune
seems to have been peculiarly aggra-
waited. Any colored man who parts his
name in the middle must obviously be
of a refined and sensitive nature. Mr..
Fortune also is a gentleman of strong
mugwumpish tendencies, and il is 10
torious that when a mugwump wants
u glass of beer he wants IL bad.
His thirst for beer, like his thirst
for reform. will brook no refusal
or delay. Mr.. Fortune has suffered
both in his soul and his stomach. lie
is not actuated by revenge but he de-
mands justice, and ten thousand dol
lars will no more than assuage the pain
of his cruel wounds. At the ruling
price in New York City, ii will pur-
chase two hundred thousand beers, and
with the bars thrown open to him by
the courts, il is TO be hoped that Mr..
Fortune will spend the remainder of
his life i'm plenty and happiness.

The STANDARD is the newspaper
that started the agitation for a public
building in Butte. In that business IL
took the lead-it is the habit of the

local interest. Several weeks ago the
STANDARD predicted that, with Butte's
building far down IN the list, IL would

alton this year. Mr.. Carriers letter
published in yesterdays Inter Monn-

congressman says, "The bill could not

the report of the committee was author
lied. When so authorized it threw the
building pretty well down on the list,
and il is questionable whether il will

breaks the news gently 10 Butte's peo-
pie. IL congress abides by its present
view, the bill is simply beyond hope for
this year. However, that ought not TO
discourage the Silver City. II must try
again and start in earlier next time.

Too Much Pharisaism,

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
One member of the temperance rom
gross at New York told the assembled
clereymen and prohibitionists that they
must make an actual study of the wants
of the workingmen before they can expect
to do any practical good in checking the
liquor habit. This failure to understand
the laboring man is the chief source of
weakness in all charitable and temperance
work.. Pharisaism taints the whole. and
there is nothing which is SO repellant To
the a who needs aid and sympathy as
this spiritual pride that puts the agent of
mercy and help on a pillar and induces
him to hand out aims in kid gloves for
fear that he may be contaminated by the
touch of a hand begrimed with labor.

Missouri, labeled: A original package

luton was passed in all seriousness.
Three thousand dollars will purchase a
good big lot of tar and feathers, but a
fund considerably larger will be ncces-
sary to pay the judgments which the
courts will certainly award against any

The ELECTION BILL.

The house of representatives will de-
vote the days that are left i'm June and
the early days of July TO the discussion
of the federal election bill. 10 will be
the most important political discussion
the country has witnessed in years.
Members of congress have. talked about
the proposed measure in ucu and
they have their plan.
Three schemes for the proposed cleo
ton law have been under discussion.
Two of them came from members of
congress. The first was prepared by
senator IIoar, the second by Repre-
sentative Henry Cabot Lodge. The
measure framed by the senator proved
to be wickedly radical. The Lodge bill
was changed so as 10 include many
features of Senator lloar's scheme, and
the result is before the house.
A patriotic protest against this ugly
bill will come from every school dis
trict in the United States, but il will
not be needed. Republican leaders re-
solved months ago To put the scheme
through as the only plan under which
they can hope TO regain the control of
the house, which they are ms certain as
the government endures TO lose next
November. In order to prepare the
way for the action which the majority
in congress now proposes to take,
prominent republicans started the
agitation of the question in the late
summer of 1889. The fact that the
New York republican state convention
of last year added TO its platform a
plank favoring federal supervision of
federal elections attracted attention nj
the time and was regarded ms a formal
announcement of the purposes of the
national republican party. Speaker
Reed was early in the scheme, of
course. The proposed law is the style
of legislation that suits him, and he
has been putting the members of the
house in training for the final passage
Of the revolutionary bill.
Mr.. Reed ventured To the
purpose of the party when. late in
April in his I%ittsburg speech, he said:
at seems to me that the only wise
course is 10 take into federal hands the
federal elections. Let ms cut loose
from lDt Stdtt tlectlullS, no our OWL
registration, our own counting and our
own ~certidcation.' The provisions of
the Lodge bill will permit the republi-
cans TO do this 10 their complete salts.
faction. The supervisors of election
appointed by Mr.. Reed and his asso-
ciates will do the registration. the
counting-in fact the electing.
When the federal election bill was
first proposed the objection promptly
urged against IL was that il would be
found unconstitutional. IL is probable
that this objection cannot be success
fully maintained. That feature of the
case, however, with the practical objec-
tions to the bill, must be reserved for
discussion as the measure advances oil
its way through the house.

Gratis are in the same fix, yet the tradi-
tions and the convictions of democracy
In the East are not the same as
they are with the republicans "a fact
which is sufficiently proven by the suc-
.cession of votes that have been taken
In the house OF representatives within
a fortnight.
In the federal senate are a few repub-
Leans who are more Quick to discern
the tendency and the real need of the
times than the party following and the
party press appear to be. These men
are in an awkward position. They
must either make many thousand con-
verts or rank as deserters. They are
not now among the elect. they are not
guiding their course by time-honored
traditions or by the tenets IN the re-
publican creed which hitherto have run
unchallenged.
The present attitude of these repub-
lican senators toward their party is
aptly presented i'm the republican
national newspaper organ, the New
York Tribune, whose latest utterance
Is: Every sane man is aware that
free coinage involves great risks. The
senate has passed a free coinage bill, a
third of the republicans joining with
nearly all the democrats. Human rea-
son was given to enable men to avoid
disaster. The first duty of republicans
in the house is to stand up like men for
honest money and to prevent mischief
il they can. 1t is not their part to let
mischief come now in the notion that
IL must come sooner or later. The sill
yer craze has not a vote east of the
Mississippi river. III free coinage
should pass the president should veto
the bill and appeal to the people"
And~so the Tribune runs on; UNI
doubtedly it expresses the sentiment of
the party, and the men of broader
views who are in the senate must show
the party the better way. That is an
undertaking to which a man lacking
the gift of craftsmanship cannot sue
cessfully address himself.
