SHERMAN ON FREE Sill YER.

This very prominent Republican Senator
made very sensible speech last week in
the Senate on the silver question, which has
done much towards brushing away some of
the dust and cobwebs from around ques
ton that has occupied much of public In
terest and attention. We learn that when
the act Of 1890 was passed authorizing the
monthly purchase of 100000 ounces Of
silver bullion each year many thoughtful
men thought the country was going peril
ously near TO the reconciliation Of silver
aud the imitation OF the national currency.
Senator Sherman made II perfectly evident
that We went too near that result and the
fact that he now iavors the repeal of his own
bill is most significant.
II was shown that $4O0, 900, 900 silver dol
lars are stored in the Treasury vaults, and
that II is impossible TO drive more than &c.
100000 into circulation at one time. II
nearly one half of the entire currency OF
the nation is kept locked up In the Treasury
safes, il would be vastly better policy To
sell some of the government silver than to
keep buying more.
The danger OF adopting system Of free
coinage at the present ratio Of sixteen 10
enc was pointed out The real ratio be
tween gold and silver at this time istwenty
three 10 one.
Senator Sherman's facts and conclusions
are deserving Of more than casual reading
at this time of political discussion and ex
element

NOT EYOUoH OF LyTERRsT.

The sundry civil bill, as It passed the
House, carries the same old injustice In
treating two great interests. II appropriates
100000 Tor extending our trade abroad
10 American beef-the chief benefit OF which
will be reaped by great combine, Armour,
swim, ct al.-and but 5000 for promoting
trade In corn products. There is nothing
significant In this except in 30 far as II proves
the truth Of the old adage "What is every
body's business is nobody's business" The
beef packers combine finds 1t profitable 10
show Congress the advantage Of such an
appropriation as II asks, while the farmers
do not push their claims. II the latter would
only impress on the minds OF the Congress
men from the States in the corn belt the ne
cessity for arousing Europe 10 the merits of
our Germ. meal as food, there would be no
trouble In gettiAg as big AN appropriation as
the occasion may require. Congress only
neglects this important matter because no
one takes enough interest In II to urge con
gressionAl action.

A WISE LAW.

New Yerk's legislature has taken step
in passing the bill regulating the hours of
labor Of railroad employees, which will be
appreciated not only by the employees but
by the travelling public rs well. There can
be ne doubt that large proportion of the
railroad wrecks in this country for which
the cause assigned is neglect oi orders"
or "carelessness," are in reality attributable
10 the TACT that the employees are tagged out
from lack Of sleep and Overwork. 1t Is little
wonder that an engineer or conductor who
has been on duty for eighteen or twenty
hours msreads his orders or forgets their
special nature.
And the worst of the danger is that the EN-
ployes are most overworked during the busy
season when the most trains are ON the line.
Then, toe, the temptation to railroaders,
when overworked, to use alcoholic stimu.
lants is well nigh irresistible, and the
liability TO neglect or msinterpret orders
is more than doubled. 1t would seem TO US
that the only objection 10 the New York
law is that il does not go lar enough. II
provides shat no corporation shall permit
or require any conductor, engineer, fireman
or trainman who has worked twenty four
hours to again go on duty until he has had
al least eight hours rest. Ten hours work
performed within twelve consecutive hours
shall constitute days work on all steam
surface railroads" 1t should also apply to
signal men, train dispatchers and flagmen.
With these amendments and strict and un
varying enforcement the new law can safely
be counted on 10 greatly reduce the mum
Der OF railway disasters in the Empire State.
II is a wise law and, in our opinion, it
should he ON the statute books Of every State,
