CURRENT PRESS OPINION.

Not Approved at Headquarters.
From he Indianapolis Jowndi Harrison
O,gdn.
A queer suggestion is that from Kan
sas, that the friends of Senator Ingalls,
will press his name for Windom's vacant
chair in the Cabinet. 1t was only week
or so ago that Mr.. Ingalls, demonstrated
in very elaborate and well-written
speech the fact that he knows nothing
about finance.

Some people suspect that the Force bill
is not really dead, but merely trying to
play an opossum trick on its enemies. But
there need be no further uneasincss on
this score. Death has set its seal upon the

Tho Bcring Sea Case.
From he Ne0 York sun.
In the Bering Sea case the Supr eme
Court Of the United States has decided
that it possesses jurisdiction to grant q
writ Of prohibition directed to the Dis
tTiCt Court of Alaska, and consequently it
has given leave TO the counsel represent
ing the British Government in the lit-
CATION to file an application for such a
writ.
The point involved in this decision does
not affect the merits of the case, but in
wolves only the construction of certain
statutory provisions found in the Revised
Statutes of the United States and other
acts of Congress.
The Western Girls Organ.
From fhe Ne,c York Tribune.
There are times, like the present, when
fba 81 I nuis Globe ns.nn,raf ,,n,,a, q, AZ,
like a cool fountain in the simoon-swept
desert. Our ably edited and cver-active
contemporary is, it will he remembered,
the official organ of the Plucky Western
Girl. II is in the columns Of the Globe
Ddm0cidt that the Western Girl and the
Wild Beast meet, the latter being slaugh-
tered and subsequently torn limb from
limb. Now, we feel q peculiar interest in
the Western Girl, which we believe is
shared by the community at large, so IL is
not strange that the Globe Democrat, with
its bright red page printed in jaguar's
blood, should be welcome visitor in the
Tribune Office.
Free Coinage "NOt in It,"
Fran he Nep York Tim@.
There is some reason now to believe
that the country is free from the danger

the present Congress. Various causes

! out OF the defeat of the Force BILL which
its friends lay chiefly at the door of the

| not unwilling to take their revenge; the
| determination of Speaker Reed to hold

One Thousand Black Babies.

from ne AN0nt0 COnsfifUfiOn.
For some time past the rumpus raised
over the failure of Banker Kcan, of
Chicago, has been matter of surprise to
us.
Mr.. Kean was an average Christian
banker, highly moral, and such pink of
propriety that the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union and various religious
societies which he had Joined trusted him
with their funds. He failed in heregular
way. and no doubt expected the sympathy
of all good people.
But there has been disposition in
many quarters to oppress and worry Mr..
kean. The Sheriff has him in charge,
and II is now almost certainty that he
will be prosecuted to conviction, and sent
to the penitentiary for long term of
years What is back of all this? Many
of the depositors, If not spurred on by
others, would probably display very
little activity in the matter. But at last
the explanation has come to light 1t
seems that Bishop Taylor had deposited
in the bank $50, 900, to be used in buying
African children, and bringing them to
this country, where they would be
Christianized and educated. Now, this
sum would purchase, at $50 piece, the
average price in Africa, 900 black babies,
or, as Bishop Taylor expresses it, 1000
souls.
1t will now be understood why Banker
kean is so rclentlessly pursued. II was
bad enough for him to steal the funds of
the godly people, religious societies and
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
but to make away with the means of saw
ing the souls of 1000 black babies in AZ
riea is n crime that cannot be regarded as
an ordinary defalcation. Every old-time
abolitionist, and every believer in the
future of the negro race, stands behind
the depositors and urges the punishment
of the heartless miscreant who has left a
regiment of pickaninnics to hopeless saw
agery in their native Congo.
Undoubtedly it is a bad business
black business. Banker Kean is sharp
rascal, but he overstepped the line when
he appropriated the African baby fund
That one act caused thousands Of scnti-
menfalists IN the North and West to unite
against him, and it is quite likely that
they will raise money to aid in the prose-
cution. These philanthropists, when
they once get their blood up, are danger
Gus people to monkey with, and in this
instance it is very mild way to put II
when we say that they are niaddor than
hornets. Before he gets through with the
case Banker Kean will realize that It
would have been safer to steal $500, ,O0J
from any othorman than to touch Bishop
Taylor's 5000

CINCINNATI COMMERCIAL Gov
ernor Campbell thinks it was the free
silver plank that defeated him, and
Eastern Democrats agree with him.
They are unwilling to grant that the
tariff question cut u great figure in
the campaign. But the truth is that
the Democratic leaders in Ohio re-
fused to recognize the free silver
plank, a, did the ablcst outside
speakers who appeared in the cam
pa,gn. They declared the tariff
question to be paramount, and ex-
pressed a determination to stand or
fall upon it. 1t was the tariff and
reciprocity which carried Ohio for
Mckinley, and there is no sense in
trying to dispute it.

IT is very wisely that The Herald
repeats the story of a reduction in
wages at Carnegie's iron and steel
works and charges the same to op-
Grafton of the Mckinley bill. For
if it be true that the wages of Carne-
gie's men have been reduced, and if
it be true that the reduction is due
to the operation of the Mckinley
bill, then it must be true that reduc-
ton of tariff duties tends to rcduc-
tiou OF the price'ot labor. The Nc
kinley hil makes great reductions
Of tariff duties on the articles most
largely manufactured at Carncgie's S
works. 1t reduces The tariff on steel
and iron rails FROM rates that varied
between Sl7 aud so 10 u uniform
rate of Sl3.4l per ton. 1t reduces
the tariff on sheet steel or iron, such
as is commonly known as taggcr's
iron, from l 1-10 cent to Ole of one
cent per pound, and it reduces the
tariff rate on iron or steel beams,
girders joists, and other forms Of
structural steel or iron from l Ia
cents to $40 of one cent per pound.
In fact, it reduces tariff duties on
nearly everything made at Carnegie e
works. The Herald can do no better
work for protection than by contin-
uing to give notice Of every reduc-
ton in wages that follows reduction
in tariffs. We compliment our con.
temporary on its candid avowal Of
the intimate connection between
lower tariffs and lower wages at Car.
negie's works.

THE UNIVERSAL MONEY.

The Director of the United States
Mint, Mr.. Leecll, has submitted his
annual report for the last fiscal year
to the Secretary of the Treasury.
1t shows wholesome monetary con-
dition. He estimates the total me-
tallic money in the country at ST.
21O,3S1, lis, and he might have add
ed that is substantially all ''home
made" Before the war there was
hardly any gold in circulation, and
our silver was mostly Mexican.
These two metals are the universal
money of the world. England and
Germany resolutely set about ban
ishing one Of the two, silver, beyond
the pale Of civilization, and there is
q great deal of discussion in this
country, which seems to have for it's
base the assumption that one or the
other might be driven from the Uni
ted States, but the truth is that they
are bound together by indissoluble
marriage tie. 1t is easy enough to
Danish both. Suspend specie pay
ment and they would both 60 into
seclusion, but neither would flock
by itself.
The total production of last year
was, gold, s116,OO9,OOO: silver,
S134, ,886,0O0. 1t will be seen that
the yield of silver is somewhat more
valuble than the output of gold.
Both are figured on what is called a
commercial basis, which really
means gold basis. The yield Of
gold in this country alone Director
Leech sets down as s32 2,845, 900; OF
silver, S57, DE, 900, total of $780,
O70,000. In other words, the total
commercial value of gold and silver
produced in the wnrld last year was
inround numbers, ninety millions
in this country and one hundred and
sixty i'll all other countries combined.
No wonder we cta keep both metals
atloat. We have over u billion oI
hard money now, and are producing
over oue-thirl of all that is being
produced the world over.
The Democrats have shown great
solicitude because the compulsory
coinage of silver dollars is 90 longer
maintained. The law authorizing
the storing away of the silver bough,
lin bullion form went into effect Aug.
13, 1890, yet the mints turned out
during the fiscal year no less than
119,547,S77 pieces or coins. Does
that look as if the machinery of the
mints was likely to be left to rus,
out by disuse ?
The amount of silver dollars
bought by the government is about
