The monometa,lic silverites cling to their
cheap silver dollar idol with desperate tenac-
ity, and insist that tho free and unlimited
coinage of s0-cent dollars must still be an
issue OF tho approaching presidential battle.
As a matter of course. in asserting this
they entirely ignore tho lessons which the re-
cent elections have clearly taught. as well as
the real situation Of affairs.
If anything was SHOWN by the elections Of
the Sd instant il was that the people at large
in all sections of the country are opposed TO
the unlimited and unrestrained coinage Of
Bland dollars. In Ohio the Democrats incon-
sideratey inserted plank favoring free coin
age in their platform. and though Gov
erner Campbell, in his joint debate with
Governor Mckinley at Ala, tried his
best TO do away with tho evil eff
fects Of that act his efforts were
fruitless. Tho poison had already done
its deadly work and the Republicans had
taken good care to expose the fallacy. making
! it. as far as they could. overshadow the real
and vital issue of tnrif reform. They sue
ceeded only too well The froe silver heresy
proved most potent factor in assisting the
corruption money Of the Eastern manufac-
turers TO secure decisive Republican vic
| tory. and the result showed be-
yond controversy that no matter
how much Ohio farmers might
have desired reform of the tariff their dread
Of the country's being flooded with cheap

the only State in which free silver was made
an issue. although it was one of the Western
agricultural States, which the silver mono
metallists assure US are all crazy for free coin
age. declared itself emphaticsllY opposed to
any such dangerous experiment.
This. however. is not the only reason why
free, cheap silver, as political issue,
may be regarded as dead As has frequently
been stated in these columns both the Demo
cratic and Republican parties are so divided |
over that question that neither can afford TO
put it in their platforms at their |
nominating conventions. Democrats and /
Republicans OF the East oppose it even 4
more warmly than Democrats and Republi. |
cans Of the West favor it, and should either
party express itself. as party outright in
favor of a FREQ silver Bland dollar plank in
its platform it will at once become party
divided against itself and cannot stand.
Both parties, therefore. must compromise
on the silver question and so it must be
eliminated from the presidential contest as
distinct political issue And, in fact. this is
what the voters in mass desire They do not
wish the free and unlimited coinage of Bland
dollars. The only classes in the coun-
try who DO want it are the silver mine owners
Of the Northwest and their dependents and
the anti-Cleveland papers, who hope to use
free silver against the denomination Of the ex-

object in view they are tolerant only Of what
brings up on the stage the cheerful and roll
licking side of existence. In the minds OF
such men there are certain actors who are "a
much associated with gayety and iollity as If
they were the very personihcation of comedy,
and it is difficult to realize that the dread
summons can come to them.
The contrast between life and DEATH which
is SO striking under all circumstances. is espe-
cally so when the spectre Of mortality. de-
sorting other fields, mounts tho stage, that
scene Of thrilling music, eulivenng humor
and bright illumination and throws its black
pail over the great actor who but q moment
before walked the boards the image of mirth
and the inspirer of irresistible fun.
The passing AWAY OF famous comic actor
like Dir. Florence is a much more startling
event to the majority OF people than the death
Of r celebrated tragedian. II was only few
weeks ago that lie appeared in this CITY,
and never was the exhibition Of his
remarkable powers more brilliant and never
had they afforded keener pleasure and delight
10 bis audience. II was in Richmond that
bis theatrical career began, which was des-
tined to become so distinguished. and it was
the good fortune Of our people to see him not
very long before that career was brought TO
close. Here he has always enjoyed high de-
gree of popularity professional and social.
and nowhere will his demise be more sin
cerely regretted.
One by one tho famous American actors
who have cast so much glory upon the stage
are disappearing behind that great curtain.
which conceals from human view the sublime
platform upon which their disembodied
spirits shall perform q nobler part than was
granted to them in this life. Raymond
and Florence and Barrett have all died within
a few years. Booth and Jefferson must soon
follow. leaving behind no Successors to wear
the chaplets of laurel for which they will then
have no further use. The company that is
gathered around poor Yorick in the shadowy
bourne beyond the grave will be all the more
brilliant for the arrival OF these two great
masters of the histrionic art, but may the day
Of their departure DO long postponed.

J Of their powers of fasting is attributed en-
trely TO exhaustion brought on by abstinence
! from food. and not 10 any disease aggravated
by tho severe experiment to which he sub
jected his physical strength. This death is
as clearly due 10 famine es if the man had
been lost In the Arctic regions and his bones
had been found bleaching on those icebound
coasts. And yet his action was purely volun-
tary and the trial was publicly made
1t is a very serious question whether the
authorities of any community should permit
an exhibition which is so brutal in itself as
we'll as 50 violative of every rule Of health
From whatever respect it many be considered.
an exhibition Of this character is opposed 10 a
wholesome public opinion. II encourages an
unnatural spirit Of emulation in matter
which can confer no good upon the individual
directly engaged in the fasting or upon the
community at large So far as the individual
is concerned it is in instances like that to
which we are referring. which ended fatally,
form Of voluntary suicide. and is therefore
antagonstic 20 the spirit of the case.
If man announces that at certain hour
he will throw himself from the Brooklyn
bridge, the public sentiment of New York has
recently compelled the police to interfere.
even though the foolhardy person who pro-
claims his intention to make the venture has
provided contryances which will diminish
the chances of fatal accident. The same
rule should prevail in these unnatural fasting
experiments. 1t is a very grave risk to human
lire. but not sufficiently so to discourage
others from initiating the evil example which
it constitutes.
No public benefit in any form is derived
from it. No new light of value is thrown on
physical science, no information of impor-
lance is added to the sum Of human knowl
edge. Neither health nor sound morality is
promoted. 1t Is merely an exhibition which
affords qualification to a morbid curiosity and
should, therefore. be strictly prohibited.
