The total stock of gold and silver and
the amount of uncovered paper money
in the United Kingdom is given a
tG97 100000. Does Chancellor Goschen
intend to hold any considerable portion
of this enormous sum in silver, against
which his pet small notes are to be is
sued, or is his recent Delphic utterance
on the question TO be interpreted as
promising no more than Great Britain
has already performed? On the answer
TO these questions much depends.
If Great Britain were to hold one
fifth of this great sum in silver-md
why might not she, if an international
ratio We're agreed upon-the solution of
the silver question might be nearer at
hand than for some time has seemed
likely. And Great Britain with her
Indian dependencies has almost as much
interest in its settlement as we.

THE MUGwUMP DILEMMA.

The Boston Herald in an editorial en-
titled Congress and the Tariff, )" uses
very strong language against Gov. Hill
There is no doubt that the language is
deserved, but the Herald must recollect
that during the past few years it has
been playing into the hands of that class
of politicians with all its might, however
good its intentions may have been. The
Herald must also see that in straddling
the subject Of financial legislation, Gov.
Hill is directly in the van of the Demo
cratic party. In fact, the Herald goes
right on to straddle the Tariff bill itself.
The Democrats are going to try the
sharp dodge OF separate bills to get
into power again before they tinker
with the tariff as a whole, and they
know that it isn't good for them to say
much at present. Where is the Demo-
cratic paper which is not falling in line
with the Mugwump allies in the gigantic
straddle? Most of them, at the same
time, are trying to discountenance their
leading man, the great representative of
the party, David B. Hill, because they
are afraid he will alarm people. But
won't they fall in and swallow him if he
comes up for the nomination for the
presidency?
Where is the great Cleveland for whom
they once shouted? Hill said he must
go, and they have united in dropping
him. While these Mugwump papers
were helping the Democrats, Hill was
helping himself, and although it may go
hard with some of them, they must sup
port Dave if he is nominated or back
down and say that the dear Democrats
are not what they thought them.

A REVISED VERSION.

Mayor Honey Of Newport seems to he
proceeding according to a new and re-
vised version of the gospel of civil SER
vice reform, so strongly insisted upon in
his inaugural address of Monday. The
most noticeable peculiarly of the new
reading is that it accords so closely with
the outworn spoils testament that it
would puzzle the most learned and care
full commentator to discover in il any
approach to either the letter or the
spirit of the usually accepted civil SER
vice doctrine.
1t must be taken to be Mayor Honey's
idea of civil service reform to chop off a
head whenever he sees it, for blood is
running in Newport in copious and Grim
son streams. 1t is rich, warm Republi-
can blood that courses in rivers through
the corridors of the City Hall, but the
spectacle does not fill the hearts of the
Democracy with the anticipated JOY.
1t is all very well to play the execu-
toner, Mayor Honey, but if you make
vacancies you must fill them, and how
ever many you make you cannot make
enough to satisfy the hungry and thirsty
who have waited, not with patience, 10!
these many years. The sound of the axe
is music and mt its dull thud they gather
thicker and closer until you are hemmed
in, Mayor Honey, by mob made blood
thirsty by the sight of gore. The guillo-
tine must stop, Mayor Honey, for there
remain for it but few victims. What
will you do then, Mayor Honey, with the
spirits you have reused but cannot quell?
All, you have it; you will create more
Offices II was a brilliant thought, but
what will you do. Mayor Honey, if in
vention fails before you have created
enough to go around? II looks as if you
were in hard place, Mayor Honey, with
all Newport's Democracy clamoring
about your ears that the good work must
go ON until every mothers son is warm
and comfortable in fine, fat paying
position.
But why, Mayor Honey, why do You
call this sort of thing civil service re-
form?

PEFFER'S BILLS.

PETER Longbeard has distinguished
himself thus early in the session by the
introduction of several bills. These if
they may be taken TO represent Alliance
ideas and the Alliance program, are Of
especial interest to the people of the
East.
One Of Mr.. PETERS bills is calculated
to regulate Interstate commerce. That
subject is already under consideration
by competent commission whose names
were handed in TO the Senate about the
same time as Mr. PETERS bills. OF the
interstate measure, like that providing
for increased circulation, it can only be
said that its wisdom is a question Of
individual opinion. For there is no
doubt that commerce can be regulated
and the circulating medium increased.
In these measures Mr.. PETER Mt least
has not attempted the impossible.
II was not for lack of capacity. how
ever. as two other bills show. The object
of these is TO prevent the formation of
trusts and e prohibit dealing in options
ANY legislation calculated to prevent
business men or business corporations
from combining for mutual benefit is
unconstitutional and unjust. Where
men combine for business purposes il is
a company when companies combine il
is trust. Where is the essential moral
difference? Further, trusts and com
binations in the long run benefit the

BEEF AND BEER.

The tug of war between five beef han
dlers from Wall and Comstock's markets
and beer handlers from Molters and
Hanleys breweries ought to be interest
ing. 1t would be more interesting if 1t
really cast any light on the important
question of the relative muscle-building
values Of the two articles.
OF course, we should naturally expect
the men of beef to be the most muscu-
lar, the men of beer the most fat ana
habby, and generally good for nothing
physically. But it is certain that the
beer men do not live without beef, and,
alas to be feared that the beef men oc-
casionally indulge i'll beer, so that the
odds are not heavy either way. May the
best men win

Gossip About the Crack Players of
Both Teams.
Darby had his batting eye with him
yesterday.
All the cranks will be out this after
noon with their friends.
Umpire Britain will call the game at
O'Clock sharp this afternoon.
But for DUNCAN and Decker's errors
San Jose would not have scored yester-
day.
This will be the last great game that
will be seen in Los Angeles for couple
of months.
"Daggett" Finn is delighted with the
fact that his team put up such great
ball in this city.
There will be big jam at the ball
game this afternoon. Go early and se-
cure good position.
The present series of games between
Los Angeles and San Jose have never
been excelled in this state.
Hulin will probably sign with Joliet
in the course of few days. Wander
beck is missing good man.
The contest this afternoon promises to
be exceptionally exciting. The Los
Angeles team is just striking its gait.
San Jose won the first game, 8 to 2 !;
the second game was a draw, 2 to 2,
after twelve innings; the third game
went to San Jose, to 2, and Los Angeles
won the fourth, 5 to 2. How is that for
ball playing?
Yesterday the Brooklyn Heights de-
feated the Ninth Street team by a score
of IA to 4. Coutz struck out fifteen men.
The batteries were: Brooklyn Heights,

Howe and Cooper.
