THREE CRAZY MEN.

There are three crazy men in the Uni
ted States who are crazy with ambition.
They ell wan TO be in the next Presi-
dental eight, Of course. By name they
are Benjamin Harrison, Grover Cleve-
land and Leland stanford. As singular
IS il may seem these men are less fitted
for the great honor than any other three
men in all the land. Neither Of them
is . man Of towering ability. nor is either
in close accord with the popular heart or
viewed as indispensable to the general
welfare by the masses Of the American
people. There are one million men in the
United States who would make q better
and a more acceptable President than
either. And still it is quite probable that
Harrison and Cleveland will be the can
didstes Of the Republican and Democratic
parties respectively, while Stanford is
bidding high for the Farmers Alliance
nomination. There are indications that
a part OF his great wealth will be used in
working up q boom in the new party.
His government loan bill on land at two
per cent interest is a very captivating
idea with the granger who has his farm
mortgaged TO q shylock at fifteen per cent.
While it cannot be disputed that Senator
Stanford is %nonopolist Of the highest
type, yet his land loan scheme may have
tafy in II to render him sccep-
table to the farmers. That was it's OBJ
ject. And If the new party should hold
its convention first and nominate STAN
ford, what then Would not the Repub.
Iican party be compelled to indorse him
to stand any show whatever Of success 7
And is not this the only chance under
the sur that the Republican party stands
Of electing the next President That
party will not be "in it" in three cor
nered fight. 1t might retain q few Offices
by indorsing the Farmers Alliance can
iidate whoever he may be.

President Harrison has issued his proc
lamation announcing that the agreement
between the United States and Great
Britain for the prohibition of seal catch
ing in Behring Sea had been concluded
and would be enforced against all offend.
ers, American or foreign. The prohibi-
tion Is absolute, except that the North
American Commercial Company will be
permitted to take seven thousand FIVE
hundred seals for the support Of the ma
tives. This arrangement is to last for q
year. II will, to use the Presidents
words, avoid irritating differences" be-
tween the two governments and operate
"for the preservation Of the seal spe-
cies" during this season. Meanwhile the
questions that have been 30 deliberately
discussed by Mr.. Blaine and Lord Sails
bury are to be submitted to arbitrator,
whose decision will be binding on both
governments and will, therefore, deter
mine the rights Of each. The contro-
versy which has been waged so long and
SO earnestly may. then. be regarded as
practically settled-a result for which
the people Of both countries are doubt

The fearlessness Of Sir Edward Clarke,
counsel for the plaintiff in the recent bac-
carat case in England, in directly assail-
ing the Prince Of Wales, his future King,
has excited the admiration Of the world.
10 a Republic like ours it is hard to con-
ceive Of the ~servile sdjulstion, the beath-
less awe, the reverential alteration in
which royalty is held in monarehies. The
members Of the royal family are regarded
as not made Of common clay, and the
mixim "the King can do no wrong" is
extended to cover his sisters and his
cousins and his aunts." The frown OF
royalty has blighted many a career, and
a princes displessure has often barred
the road to preferment. Therefore the
boldness Of the learned counsel deserves
the admiration it has excited. But the
English barrister has ever been fearless
in the defense OF his client, and at the
call of duty has ever been ready to even
beard his monarch. There have been
time.servers and poltroons among them.
but they are fow.
There are, in the history Of the Eng.
lish courts, other cases where members
Of the British bar have faced the mem
bers of the royal family, and have done
their duty regardless of results to "the
lords Amounted" In 1920. at the trial
Of Queen Caroline before the House OF
Lords, Brougham and Denham. counsel
for the Queen, directly assailed King
George " and his brother the Duke Of
Clarence, afterwards William ", in un-
measured terms. The case Of their client
demanded it, the facts Of that case justi-
fed it, their duty called for il, and be.
fore the assembled nobility Of Britain,
they dashed the conduct Of their sover-
eign and his heir presumptive with the
language that il deserved.
And before, in the middle ages, when
kings were gods, another English barris-
ter wearing the ermine of q Judge did
his duty under the laws Of his country,
aud, not stopping at words, imprisoned
mis- future King. Every ~schoolboy knows
how Gascoigne. Judge of the Court Of
the Kings Bench, sent the future King
Henry V to the tower, and every man
with Anglo. Saxon blood in his veins feels
a thrill at the recollection. So Sir Ed
ward Clarke has precedent for his action.
And it is the wish of the world that he
may meet with a like reward; for the
King whom Brougham aad Denman had
lashed as the Duke Of Clarence, made
the one Lord High Chancellor and the
other Lord Chief Justice; and King
Henry V honored, above all his Judges,
the man who had sent him, as Prince
Hal, to Jail. IL remains to be seen il

demand for free and unlimited coinage,
and yet not benefit silver, lie the question
on which they are debating day and
night. The American product scheme
was a mere subterfuge, and the real pur-
pose has been laid bare so promptly that
it has done no real damage to the silver
cause, but has exposed who are not real

THE VANISHED SURPLUS.

Under the Cleveland administration
there was much talk Of the surplus money
in the treasury and how to reduce il. IL
will also be remembered that the surplus
supplied one Of the chief topics Of discus
sion in the Presidential campaign Of
1855. The Democrats commended that
tariff duties should be lowered in order
to abate it, while the Republicans claimed
that there was not too much money flow.
ing from the pockets Of the people into
government vaults. and that the people
demanded an increase rather than a di-
minution of tariff taxes. 1t was q favor.
tie argument Of Republican orators and
press that . surplus was a less difficuls
thing TO manage than q deficit. The
truth OF this statement is nov being yer.
i6ed in q most emphatic way by the pres.
emit administration. The billion dollar
Congress not only raked the treasury but
placed upon the statute books g number
of appropriation bills whose cost to the
country cannot be estimated in advance.
The subsidy TO ships in the foreign trade
and the sugar bounty tax are items call
ing for indefinite sums. Both will de-
pend upon the extent to which these in.
forests may attain. Not q dollar has been
paid on either account thus far. There
was also additional pension legislation,
which is requiring more money than was
believed would be necessary. In the
meantime the fixed appropriations have
not only exhausted the surplus but have
left the treasury in q bankrupt condition.
The SECRETARY could not find the funds
10 redeem the fifty millions Of four and .
half per cent government bonds which
were about maturing. and had to extend
them at two per cent interest. To meet
current expenses the quarters and dimes
and nickels in the treasury are being
raked together as q last resort. and these
are found TO be inadequate by $500, 900
to square the books and keep the gov
ernment on q cash basis for June. Ii is
truly an embarrassing situation for the
Harrison administration, and the execu-
tive officers at Washington are squirming
in all directions to cover it up. To all
appearances it now looks like the gov
eminent would be compelled to enter
The market as . borrower Of millions be-
fore many months shall have elapsed. II
was the hope Of the masses that the gov
eminent debt would be promptly paid.
The National banking system Is based
upon the unmatured bonds Of the gov
eminent. Any deferment Of the pay
ment OF the National debt means . longer
tenure of the National bank system, and
that in turn means fewer opportunities
for silver in the currency of the country.
With the National debt wiped out the
National bank would also disappear, and
there would then be q universal clamor
for both gold and silver, with a form OF
paper money backed up by these indie.
structable metals instead of paper, az
now, predicated on what the government
owes. The extravaganza of the Repub-
lican party is dealing silver a severe
blow by perpesuating the National bank.
