Mr.. HENRY CLEws, the New York
banker, is u republican in politics, but a
%sagncions business man. When he says,
therefore, as he does in his last finan-
cial circular, that the policy of the re-
publican party in cheating at the polls
is demoralizing to business as we'll as to
morals his words are entitled to weight.
He must have risen from reading San
ders' speech on the force bill when he
wrote this paragraph:
In the states, as we'll MS at Washington,
party politics are assuming phases of con-
flict and ''crookedness' which suggest UNI
welcome tendencies i'll the working OF our
political institutions. Schemes to defeat
the results of elections and to abuse the
power of maioritles cast a shadow upon the
political horizon; and the tendency toward
broad sectional differences npon funda-
mental issues suggest political possibilities
which none like to consider, but which,
none the less, all are unable to disregard.

the entire silver product of this CONT :
mont. The effect Of this, Mr.. Blaine is
reported to have said, Will be not only to
secure for Us the control Of the trade OF
the South American countries, but to
establish a unit Of value which the Eu-
ropean nations viii be compelled event
ually to accept.
The San Francisco Chronicle, a strong
Blaine paper, gives this proposition a
hard rap in these words: "The United
States does not want to buy
any silver. What is wanted ia
to remonetize silver, put IL on
the footing it occupied before 1873,
and to open the mints to silver bullion
as they are now open to gold. IL there
be any one who cannot 500 the distinc-
ton between such a plan and plan to
buy the entire silver product of the con.
tinent he is out Of the range of argu-
ment and beyond the reach of demon
st%ration."

AN ALASKAN APPEAL,

Attorney General Miller opposes the
issue of a writ of prohibition by the SUI
preme court of the United States in the
case of the Canadian vessel, S.. P. Say
ward. While it is true that his position
is in accordance with general anticipa'
ton, it cannot be fairly said that he
makes out a strong case. His opposi-
ton is chiefly based upon purely tech
nicai grounds, and upon the theory that
the matter is subject for political, not
judicial, action.
While it may or may not be the fact
that the Canadian government, as he
puts it, has no locus standi in such a
case, it is not exactly the truth that the
Canadian government makes the appli-
cation. No one denies that the Domin-
ion endorses the action and hints at the
support of the home authorities in its
attitude, but it is the owner of the Say
ward himself who is the prime mover.
He believes that he has suffered injus-
tice at the hands of the United States
government. His vessel was seized by a
revenue cutter and condemned by the
district court Of Alaska. The Dominion
authorities may or may not have taken
an untenable attitude, but their action
should not debar the loser from his re-
course in law.
The extent of the United States do
minion in Boring sea is a political ques-
ton, declares the attorney general. So,
in part, it is, but it isnone the less a fact
that the Sayward was condemned under
the law Of the United States, that for
bids the capture of seals in Alaska or
the waters thereof. That is a United
States statute, and it should not be i'm
possible for our supreme court to on
strue its meaning.

taking an appeal to an internationa
court. 1t almost looks as if lingo Jim
was still hungering after a spirited for
eign policy, and hoping to erase the
memories Of laundering legislation at
home by blunder abroad.

we have found the new messiah, John j.
Ingalls, has become an iridescent dream
and l now wear socks" 1t is evident
that the boys in congress will do we'll to
go a little slow in poking fun at Simp-
son.
