The sentiment of the House in regard to
the free coinage of silver is not probably ac-
curately reflected by the vote last Thursday
against the reference of the Senate bill to
the coinage committee, OF the vote on Satur-
day in favor Of such reference. On the first
aKate'masy Democrats who do not believe in
free coinage voted with the silver men for
the purpose of putting the Speaker sin a
hole" On the other hand, some Republicans
who want free coinage refused to join In the
raid upon the Speaker, recognizing it simply
as Democratic move disguised as move
ment for free silver coinage. On the second
vote probably all of the Democrats who
would vote against free coinage voted to
sustain the Speakers reference Of the bill
to the coinage committee. But some Repub-
licans also, who are in favor of free coinage
voted in favor of this disposition Of the bill.
But though it cannot be told with exact accu-
racy how the House stands, the probability
seems to be that there exists majority
against free coinage. There is, however,
without doubt large majority in favor of
some increase in the silver currency If the
Senate is willing to forego its free coinage
amendment to the House bill, probably a
silver bill can be agreed upon by the two
houses which will receive the Presidents
signature. But free coinage probably can
not 60 through the House, and it cannot pos
sibly receive the Presidents approval.

THE DRESSED BEEF DECISION.

The Supreme Court of the United States
Yesterday decided the dressed beef law,
which prohibits the sale of meat not slaugh-
tered in the State enacting it, to be uncon-
stitutional. This is the plain construction
of the constitution which has been taken by
all the lower courts before which such acts
have been brought, and the decision of the
United States Supreme Court would have
been foregone conclusion, even if it had
not taken much more radical ground in the
original package case.
The criticisms which the original package
case has evoked may seem on the surface to
apply to this decision; but there is vital
difference between. The State enactments
with which the original package case dealt
are sincere endea vors to exercise the police
power of the States; the enactments which
the dressed beef decision overthrows are un-
disguised efforts to forbid commerce between
the States in a staple article Of food. If
this were permitted any State could just as
well forbid the importation of grain, iron,
lumber or groceries from another State, and
stop all interstate commerce completely.
1t is fair criticism of the original pack
age decision that it will prevent State en-
actments honestly framed to secure the sale
of healthy dressed beef from one State to
another. But the principle involved in the
case decided yesterday was the power of a
State to entirely forbid interstate COM
merce.

THE REASONABLE METHOD.

The fracas in the House was terminated
yesterday by the cool and courteous state
ment OF Mr.. Wilson, of West Virginia. The
end of the row furnishes valuable lesson,
illustrating how much better a man will
succeed by keeping his temper and observ-
ing the rules of courtesy than by getting
into passion. Mr.. Bynum lost his temper
and exhibited himself in the character of
the man whose ultimate argument is to call
another liar. Mr.. Wilson kept his temper
and by calm statement of the original
cause of the trouble, obtained from Colonel
Bayne disclaimer OF an Endorsement of
Mr. Campbell's affidavit. This is the differ
ence between the method of the bully and
that of the gentleman, and the latter has
proved the most effective. BY his calm and
reasonable attitude, NJ. Wilson has been
successful in making it appear that rather
questionable perversIon of his own and Mr.
Bynum's words was made by Mr.. Camp
bell in his campaign work of 1888.
