The Fight For n sound Currency.

The Ohio Democratic platform
brings the country face to face with
silver imitation on the old battle
field of sound currency-Ohio.
The issue is simple, direct and
unmistakable. The Republican
party in the act of July IA, 1890,
planted itself on the sound economic
policy of using silver at its market
price to the full amount of the
American product as basis of cur
rency. Any currency based on
metal valued above its market price
is by that extra value a phantom
currency. The one safe basis for
currency is metal taken at its
market price in the worlds markets.
Under present system gold and
silver are both thus taken and both
used for currency at their market
value in the worlds markets.
The act under which this is now
done was a compromise. 1t was
not altogether satisfactory to those
who, think gold--and nothing but
gold. and paper payable in gold-is
good enough for an American cur
rency. But the act suited the sup
porters of free silver coinage still
less. Its passage was their defeat,
just as the passage of the comprom--
ise resumption act of February, 1875
was also defeat to imitation. The
resumption act did not suit hard
money men, but it became the meas
ure on which the battle of the re-
sumption of gold payment was
fought and won from 1874 to 1879.
The like is true to-day of the silver
act of 1890. Like the resumption
act, it is attacked by the Demo-
cratic party, beginning with Ohio.
The Republican party is its sole de-
fender. Democratic success will
mean its repeal and free silver, just
as Democratic success would have
meant fifteen years ago the repeal
of the resumption act and free green
backs.
A sound currency is once more
at stake in Ohio and later in the
national election of 1892. We have
no doubt of the result. The Re
publican party will win again, as it
won before, on the platform of a
sound dollar.-/'ress

MIR. GRAHAM'S PLAIN TALK,

He Explodes the Paresis Story Circu-
lated by Bardsleys Friends.
There is evidently movement Oh
foot among the friends Of John
Bardsley to secure the sympathy of
the pardon board in his behalf by
circulating the story that the ex-
City Treasurer's speculations were
the result of paresis and that he is
no longer of sound mind and likely
to break down at any time. Sever
al well known physicians have been
quoted, who stated that the in,
cllnation to wild speculation was
one Of the first symptoms of soften
ing of the brain. OF these not one
ever attended the ex-City Treasurer
during his late illness. There seems
to be no tangible foundation what
ever for the assertion and the gener-
al opinion among those who ought
to know is that the story is warm
weather fake.
"There is absolutely no truth
whatever in the assertions that Mr..
Bardsley has paresis," said District
Attorney Graham yesterday. when
asked for his opinion. 81 can speak
positively" he continued, "for 1 had
Mr.. Bardsley examined just prior
to the trial 1t was merely O pre-
cautionary measure then, and | did
not anticipate having such rumors
to cope with. My object at the
trial was merely to ascertain what
the mans true mental condition was.
Not knowing what line of defense
would be set UP, | thought at the
time that they might try the insanity
plea. If this had been done it would
have delayed my case some time if
| had not anticipated it and had the
prisoner examined"
"Who we're the physicians that
made the examination"
'That | must decline to say. At
the time the doctors stated that he
was perfectly sound. both mentally
and physically, although suffering
at that time from mental prostration. :"
"Do you think that symptoms of
paresis have since developed Z"
IL do not"
''Do you think that the circulation
of these rumors is ruse to get the
prisoner out of jail ?"
well, | would not like to answer
that.
"Will you oppose the effort to
get him out of Jail on this plea?''
Undoubtedly | will, and those
who attempt it will find that they
have a difficult task before them

DANGEROUS LITERATURE

The current number of the North
American Review contains an article
by Anthony COmstock, in which he de-
clares himself in unmistakable terms
for war on vampire literature %
which he proposes to wage to finish.
Mr.. Comstock has taken upon himself
good work in this thing, and all
right-thinking people, who consider
the subject, will wish him most abund-
ant success.
The HERALD contained a few days
ago an article concerning some litera-
ture Of the kind he is after in a gen
eral way that would be vastly i'm
proved by killing. We refer to the
literature Of the pink sheets" of the
day. That and the numerous dis
patches printed in the newspapers
that detail the particulars of juvenile
crime and bawdy escapades should be
ended, and If Mr.. Conway could
"knock out" the lot he would do the
world much good. As an illustration
Of the influence of that class OF litera-
ture, 1t may not be out OF the way To
recall the fact lately published that
very recently lot of boys,
fed on sensational books and
the literature OF "pink sheets
banded together and swore each TO
kill his mother, In order to emulate
some dime novel hero. One of them
practiced on the servant girl first and
was promptly arrested. In this way
the plot was discovered. 1t is impos-
sible to overestimate the damage

According TO Colonel John A. Cock.
erell, the present editor of the Com
mercial Advertiser OF New York,
lgnatius paid large sums of money to
the press clipping man for the record
of his own particular career. And
this is the individual who hurled his
heresy darts at such thinkers as DR..
Ilebel Newton. 1t is a strange thing
that such mental monstrosities as
lgnatius should acquire hold on the
people. With advanced chances for
education, with Chautauqua stretch
ing its great educating arm across the
globe, 1t would seem as if imposition
would die a natural death. lgna-
titus is an actor, and the very peculiari-
ties that he affects are those which
attract his audiences. People like to
be humbugged. Just before the
"Friar" sailed for Europe, he put the
last stroke on his posturing by circu-
latlng a protest in a New York res
taurant, against BOugereau's cele-
brated "The Nymph and the Satyre,' -
which has long been special feature
of the academy. But then Ignatius is
only one of those emotional persons
who mark every epoch. He has not
the dignity of the Catholic church
nor the quiet ecclesiastlcism of Epis-
copacy. He is mountebank, and as
such we are well rid of him.

done by the unprlncipled pens OF sen.
sations writers. Even when IL is not
perceived directly, as in the case re-
ferred to, nothing can repair the low
ering of the moral tone which is af-
fected by the novels of the Atherton-
Saltus school.
At present, however, Mr.. Comstock
is particularly after larger game. lie
is making special war at this time
against those publishers who have
been flooding the market with sloppy
transactions of the famous "classic
authors" of the obscene schools.
Anything bearing the stamp of an
tiquity has been pushed upon the
market, yet most of it serves but one
purpose, to stimulate vice. Mr.. Com
stock tells the story of an actress who
after writing a book based on the
worst passions, was most anxious that
the society should attack her publica
tion in order to advertise it. He alsC
declares that the root of much juye
nile crime is found in the hotbed of
vicious literature with which the
country is flooded.

RING DOWN THE CURTAIN

The announcement that Edwin
Booth has for ever retired from the
stage was not unexpected, although
it will cause regret among many of
the admirerers Of this brilliant man.
For many years he has stood first and
greatest among the worlds greatest
actors, and no laurel laid on the tomb
Of Laurence Barrett gives forth such
aromatic sweetness as the retirement
of Edwin Booth from the triumphs Of
the dramatic stage. No act could
more completely silence the detract-
Ors of the dead actor, who saw in this
close and constant friendship only the
efforts of small man tO-gain radiance
from the light Of his great associate.
Barrett, but five years younger than
Booth, had all the fire and vigOr of
early manhood, even after disease had
laid its whitening hand on him. Booth
for over twenty years has been old and
world weary:

Such is the fiat of one of the great

that, but for the wonderful executive
ability of Lawrence Barrett, the
younger generation of theatre goers
would never have seen this remarkable
exponent of histrionic roles. Booths
figure is surrounded by all the roman
tic memories with which the stage of
fifty years ago was associated. As we
gaze for the last time upon his
majestic figure out of the gather
ing darkness starts spectral shadows
the illustrious dead are more fitting
companions for this solitary man than
mediocre living. We see the bright,
the brilliant Nelson, Fechter the
ideal lover, and Barrett the courageous
pioneer in American art--all waiting
just little across, inside the everlast.

To those of US who only saw Edwin
Booth after he had lost his youthful
beauty there remains still the wonder

beauty Of the voice and the subtle in

ence, in spite of the fact that the mar
