The silver Bill Dead.

There has been a good deal Of sober
redcctio. 10 Washington among the
Democrats since the defeat of the silver
bill last week, and conservative views
upon the subject have literally overpow-
cred the extremists.
After the tie vote on a preliminary
motion to the main question the other
day, made SO by the recorded vote Of
Spe iker Crisp, there was no hope for
bringing the question favorably before
the House again, except by resort to the
clotu-e--a parliamentary rule seldom
adopted except in great emergencies =
Speaker Crisp while favering the free
coinage of silver opposed the cloture
rule and thus killed the free silver law.
The conservative and rejecting por-
ton of the nation is glad the free coin
age bill has met the fate it has. As a
people we are perilously near the free
coinage Of silver now. Many think bus
mess is being disturbed aud values in
jured by the imitation going on in Tie
issue of silver notes under the law Of
1891. Ifthas is true, free coinage could
only hasten disaster and make financial
destruction al the more complete when
it comes. Accordingly, there is feel
ing of relief that the danger is over and
the finance Of the country are saved.

1t ough: TO be plainly apparent to the
English people oy this time that Lord
Salisbury's action in regard to Canadi-
ans poachiug in Behring Sea is utterly
indefensiblc, both on moral aud political
grounds. The injustice of the PROPOSE
ton 10 allow the determination Of the
seals while arbitration to decide their
posse ,sion Was pending is self evident;
and even the dullest Euglishman should
understand that Great Britain has moth
ing 10 gain and very much to lose by
assailiDg the interests of the United
States 1t is undoubtedly fact that
Lord Salisbury's policy has been adopt
ed with vie to infamc public feeling
in England against this country. But
this country does not seek any quarrel
with England, or desire to infringe upon
British rights. What we propose is
merely to protect valuable property,
which we hold to be our own, from wan
ton destruction BY irresponsible p.riies.
Ii the British Tory Cabinet chooses to
become an accomplice of the pOachcrs.
that is not the fault of the United States.
The nation of whish Lord Salisbury is
Premier ought to restrain him from such
criminal folly. Ns8

nounccs President Harrison's m inlystand

It will be remembered with what
abuse the great * Speaker Of the a

opponents for carrying out the rules Of
that house. and counting as present those
menhers who were actually present but
refused 10 voh in the hone Of hre Ring u
quorum and thus preventingthc passage Of
wise lass. II will also be remembered
that prominent Democrats claimed that
the wise tariff laws enacted by the sane
Congress we're unconstitutional. and
suits we're carried to the highest legal
tribansl in this country, the Supreme
Court. to decide the question. That
decision, when rendered after mature
delibcration, was in favor Of the constr
sutionslisy Of Speaker Reeds etursc in
sounding quorum present, and that the
Mckinley law was legally enacted. Sew
sral weeks ago. in an article in this pa

decision, We took occasion to remark
that our Democratic opponents always

The fact that Prof. Sumner, the
noted professor of political economy at
Yale College, Is an ardent free trader,
and that his teachings are full of Cob
denis theories has led a great many
people to believe that the majority of
the students there share his views, and
that the great institution is, so to speak,
a free trade school. How erroneous
this impression is the following figures
clearly show: The graduating class of
Yale this year embraces l79 members.
OF this total, % are Democrats, 20 call
themselves "Independents," and the
remainder, 1877, are Republicans and
protectionists. 1t is evident that the
irresistible logic of facts counts for more
with these intelligent young men than
mere theory.
