of free, unlimited and independent silver
coinage" Perhaps only one party that
has ever existed in the whole history of
the country has been equal to perform
ance so audacious and SO defiant of moral
obligations. If the Democratic party. af-
ter voting for the free coinage of silver,
proceeds to nominate and support candi-
date for the Presidency whose public dec
larations are hostile to that measure, it
would De only the elimination of long
career OF duplicity and demagogism such
as no other party has ever followed. New
ertheless, there seems to be no other in
depreciation of passing events. The Rep.
resentatiyes of the party in Congress, who
really control its action there and will to
great extent control its action IN national
convention, declare for free coinage of
silver in order to attract and win If they
can the support of voters in the silver
producing States. But at the same time,
and with their connlvaDce and consent,
the candidate whom most of them intend
to nominate and for whom they intend to
vote, comes forward with a strong express
sion Of opinion against the coinage of sill
yer, obviously in the hope that he can
thereby hold some of the eastern states
which the free-coinage policy would drive
away from his party.
1t never has been possible hitherto to
conduct a great National campaign with
success in such manner. The Americans
are practical and shrewd people, ana do
not often allow themselves to be taken in,
even if the political device is particularly
ingenious and well concealed. But in this
case the deception would be open, fragrant
and CD the very surface of things. 1t
would be as obvious as possible that the
party intended to seek the support OF sill
yer fanatics by pretending most earnest
support of their plan, and at the same time
to seek the support OF those who resist the
silver craze, by nominating a candidate
openly and strongly opposed to il, 1t is
hardly conceivable that, in these days Of
newspaper. and telegrsphs, any party can
succeed in such a country as this with 4
plan of action so repugnsnt to the moral
sense of the community Y. Tribune.

General Sherman and Admiral Porter.

General Sherman and Admiral Porter,
two central figures in the war for the sup
preston of the Rebellion, after long and
distinguished lfe-work together in the
service of their country, have together
Joined the innumerable caravan that
moves to the pale realms of shade" Never
but once before have two American citi-
zens occupying so central place in their
country's history, passed out together.
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died
on the Fourth of July, 1926.
Sherman and Porter have been Illus
trious characters and have acted conspicu-
Gus parts in the annals of their country.
No man can measure the worth of their
services or tell how far-reaching they may
he. In a figurative sense but in sense
replets with blessed meaning, especially TO
the South-General Sherman, at the head
of his magnificent army, is still march
ing through Georgia. and Admiral Por-
ter. with his mortar fleet, its spars dis
guised by green branches from Louisiana
forests, his sChooners and steamers lying
against wooded point short distance
below Forts Jackson and St. Philip, is
still engaged in the lsudable work of open
ing the Mississippi TO higher civilization
and the whole South to better citizenship
and more signal prosperity. In other
words the influence Of their heroic deeds,
on land and on sea is still in active opera
ton for their country's good and may it
never cease while the Union lasts
Let Us hold in grateful remembrance the
men whose yalor, patriotism and eminent
ability wrought achievements Of so much
worth to the American people. The place
which they hold in the affections Of their
fellow-citlzen> is large one; and their
death. come whenever 1t might, would be
deeply mourned Thank God for Sherman
and Porter, Because they have lived our
country Is a better country, and the world
a better world TO live in.
