An Assault and Victory.

Among the passengers on one OF the street
cars which cross the Sixth street bridge, saws
the Pittsburg Chronicle, few days ago were a
lady and her daughter, the latter a small maid
apparently between four and five years.
When the conductor collected the fares he
missed the child who was patiently holding a
nickel in her hand. After he had gone through
the car and returned to the rear platform a
man who was riding there said something to
him, and he went back into the car and said to
the lady:
You must take the child on your Ian r,a'arn :,
She seemed somewh at surprised at this, but
said nothing, as she lifted the child from the
seat ~
This offended the dignity of the maiden. how.
ever, who opened her mouth and gave vent to
such shrlll shriess as could only come from a
sound pair of lungs. The other passengers
looked at the lady, and people on the street
gazed on the car as it glided along, under the
| impression that some one was being murdered
therein.
who seemed to be an officer OF the company
held another conference, aud the former came

Madam, can't you stop the child's cryingYn

What is she crying for?"

Won't you try to pacity her, please?'

The shrieks continued, growing louder and
louder.
The conductor retired to the platform again
| and held another conference. This time the
officer himself came in
Madam he said, lis there anything we can
| do to stop the baby's yells?'
You can try any experiment you see fit " she
| replied. The child was quiet enough while she
| occupied seat, and she had money to pay her

had been Theoretically sealed.
The Deaoemaker retired to the platform and
all was quiet.

Mr.. Calvin's Bank Bill.

In accordance with the suggestion made
by the MORNING NEWS several days ago
action on Representative Calvin's bank bill
has been postponed. Representative
Guerard, who is one of the most influential
members of the finance committee, made a
strong speech against hasty legislation on
the subject dealt with in the bill, aud the
House agreed with him that 1t would be
unwise for the legislature to consider Mr..
Calvln's bill until congress has taken some
action on the currency question.
The MORNING NEWS said it was simply
a waste of time to discuss bills that provided
for state bank currency at this time
While 1t is reasonably certain that the tax
on state bank circulation will be
| repealed nothing is known as TO what
of that kind. Several bills relating to
state bank currency have been introduced
into the House since the meeting of con-
gress, but none Of them has received any
attention. Indeed it is not likely that any
thing will be done by this congress that will
change the present status Of state banks.
If Mr.. Calvin's bill had been passed it
might not have been of any value what
ever. No one can predict whether congress-
is going to encourage the issuing of bills by
state banks or not. When the currency
question comes up for consideration there is
going to be big fight to retain the national
banking currency or to provide something
very much like it, and if the way is opened
for the issuing of state bank bills restric-
tions will be placed upon state banks that
will pretty effectuslly prevent the issuance
OF anything like wild cat" bills. What the
whole country will insist upon is a sound
currency-s currency that will not make
the carrying of a bank note desector a
necessity

The bill to encourage the construction OF
electric railroads, introduced in congress the
other day, proposes aid to enterprises that
need none. The roads will be built just as
quickly without as with the suggested con-
cessions, which really do not amount to
much, but are enough to be undemocratic.
One part Of the bill. requiring that the
roads shall furnish electric power along
their lines to farmers for agricultural pur-
poses, In consideration Of che concessions, is
particularly weak II the roads should find il
profitable to sell electric power to farmers
they would do it without direction from
congress. and IL such sale of power should
be found Improbable they would not do IL
il congress should "direct" until it was
black in the face-the roads would simply
ignore the concessions and go on about
their business.

The strike as weapon has proven iE-
effective in so many notable instances dur
ing the past year that it should be losing
favor with labor organizations. Where
one small strike has been successful half a
dozen great ones and an unknown number
of minor ones have failed dismally. The
results at Homestead, Buffalo and New
Orleans were the same-failure-which is
more than likely to be repeated in the local
strike of telegraph operators. Whenever
the battleis between labor and capital the
latter has the advantage. The moneyed
party can afford to wait; the workingman
cannot. 1t is extremely unfortunate that
labor and capital-agencies dependent upon
each Other-cannot be brought into more
friendly relations

The Convict Question.

From the ST. Louis Republic cDen.L
Speaking Of the convict question, which will
be up in the Arkansas legislature this winter,
the IeXarkana Democrat humanely says that
whether they are leased on contract or other
wise employed, every cent they earn over the
cost of their maintenance should go to the sup
port OF their needy wives and children, if they
have any. Penitentiary convicts are as a rule
tough citizens, the best disposal of whom is,
and is likely to remain, knotty problem. but
certainly the punishment incidentally inflicted
upon the innocent ought to be made as light as
possible. Under the most favorable conditions
there is apt to be much unnecessary brutality
in the treatment of convicted criminals.

The failure of the republican senatorial
caucus in Washington, thst was called
to consider the condition of affairs in
the legislatures of ''doubtfuln western
states, indicates that most of the
republicans talk was mere bluster, and that
they have very little hope of winning any
senators by playing a bold game. Mean
while the outlook continues bright for the
election Of democratic senators, even where
their election was not expected. In Kan

laughed at by certain Boston clergymen,
who assert that the work of the captain and
crew OF the ship, and the timely arrival on
the scene OF another steamer. which took
the Spree in tow, had good deal TO do
with it. One minister asserted that Mr.
Moody's claim branded God as unjust, be-
cause hundreds of ships have gone down to
the bottom despite prayers as earnest as
any that were offered on the Spree.

The Brussels Conference.

The international monetary conference at
Brussels has accomplished nothing. and the
prospect at present is that 1t will accomplish
nothing. The announcement that Germany
made the other day that she was very we'll
satisfied with her present monetary system,
and that her delegates at Brussels had no au-
thority to agree to any change, indicated
quite clearly that she had no intention to
assist in settling the silver question IL the
settlement necessitated the abandonment of
the single gold standard. 1t is difficult to
see why she consented to take part In the
conference.
The position Of England is similar to that
of Germany. While she has not said so, it
is pretty clear that it is her purpose to agree
to nothing looking to bimetallism. She has
not been fra nix in her utterances at the con-
ference, for the reason probably that she
desires to make India think that she has
exerted herself to the utmost to solve the
silver question, aud failed because the ques-
tion is one that cannot be solved.
The conference will adjourn to meet in
May which means that, in the opinion of
the conference. nothing Is going to be done
by the nations to make a permanent place
for silver in the currency of the world.
