DOES FREE COINAGE EXIST ?

A correspondent in another column pre-
sents the view which has been brought up
at Washington that the right of free COIN
age of silver still exists on our statute
book. In introducing the topic, he makes
one assertion which requires correction.
1t is that the struggle with regard to cur
rency for the past twenty-five years has
been e'between the interests that are op-
posed to any increase in our currency and
the great mass of people whose interests
are the very opposite" The contest thus
alluded to has not been on the quantity OF
currency, but with regard to the quality.
The quantity of certain kinds of currency,
such as the issue of legal tender notes In
the early stages of the question, has been
subsidiary issue, as it was deemed TO
affect the quality; but that the real issue
was with regard to the quality is suffi-
ciently shown by the fact that as a result
of the resumption of specie payments
there was an immense increase IN the
amount of money in the country.
As to the point raised by our corre-
spondent. it is question of fact whether
either the act of 1873 or that of 1878 di-
rectly or by necessary implication re-
pealed the previous acts authorizing the
free coinage of silver dollars. 1t has
been the general understanding that they
did so and that was the understanding
shown by the debate on the passage of
those bills. If there is no such repeal the
view of our correspondent is correct and
free coinage legally exists to-day. But as
that can easily be settled by construc-
ton of the act in the courts, and as that
is the only way of settling it, the necessity
for extended debate over the question is
slight.
1t is, however, worthy of comment that
if the act of 1873 did not demonetize sill
yer the denunciations of that act by the
free-silver men as ''a conspiracy against
silver" will have to be materially
amended

IL Makes His Blood Boil.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
In your comments on the Chilean trouble
you have repeatedly compared it to the New
Orleans exhibition of lynch law. Wherein
does the similarity exist? In the latter in
stance the people took vengeance on a num-
ber of murderers, who, through q miscar-
rage of Justice, had escaped justice, had es-
caped punishment. The Jnen we're killed,
not as Italians, but because of their crimes.
The Chilean mob attacked the sailors of one
ofour cruisers. killed several and shame
fully abused the rest, simply because they
represented in their persons and ship the
people of the United States and the United
States Government
The writer has, in n former letter to you,
advocated some delay in enforcing our just
demands for reparation from the Southern
Republic because of our course toward the
Greater Powers. That delay is now sufficient.
Chile must either do what Is required or
fight. If not, then let President Harrison
withdraw his demands, and himself with
the nation of which he is the head, stand a
spectacle of contempt before all the world.
Arbitration is good in its place, but with
Chile there is nothing TO arbitrate. The
question is simply whether our national dig
nifty and honor be upheld, and the lives and
property of our citizens in foreign lands
protected. If not then dispose of our navy
to the highest bidder, disband our skeleton
army and proclaim to all that the America
of today is not the America of the past. and
that our patriotism. our pride as a people
are forever gone; that when it is dollars and
n whole skin against resen ting an outrageous
insult to say nothing OF directly hostile
attack Uncle Samuel is, rs they say, not in
it. Had it been vessel of any of the great
maritime powers the crew OF which had
thus been bounded to death in the streets of
an American city-well. we know what
would have happened and th that speedily;

. RESPECT THE WI

The statement of the issue between the
striking employees of the Pittsburg, Alle-
gheuy and Manchester line and the COM
pany shows causes of complaint that are
likely to attract public sympathy But
the strikers must be careful not to
ALLEVIATE that sympathy by acts which
place themselves in antagonism to the
laws.
A strike conducted with due respect for
law and order is reasonable proceeding
which commands public respect But
when the strike goes to the length of
taking forcible possession of property, of
mobbing obnoxious individuals and of
forcibly denying the right of passage on
the public highway, it goes beyond all
reason. Men who resort to such methods
change the conflict between themselves
and the company into a conflict between
themselves and the social organization.
They supplant their reasonable insistence
upon fair contract of employment with
an avowal of determination to assault in
dividual rights and override public order.
1t is to be hoped for the sake of the
strikers that no more such reports of dis
order as those published yesterday will be
heard. A temporary victory may be won
by such means; but it is the sort of victory

EDIsoN's NEW WARFARE.

Mr. Thomas A. Edison is in the field
with new invention which he thinks
will revolutiOnize warfare. 1t is intended,
as a truly American invention should be,
for defensive warfare, and is described by
Mr.. Edison as a fort filled up with alter
mating electrical machinery the current of
which is to be directed on the attacking
enemy by a stream of water played
through a powerful hose.
Mr. Edison thinks the virtue of this
means of defense to be that the enemy
can by this means he shocked out of the
world altogether, or the current can be
modified so as to merely knock the ad-
vancing foe senseless, after which the
electrical operators could go out. resusci-
tate and gather them in as prisoners of
war Twenty-Five men would be adequate
Mr.. Edison asserts, to defend a fort pro-
vided with this electrical appliance
against a whole army, if it should come
within range of its electricitv-charged
streams
But there's the rub. Let us suppose
fire engines of sufficient power to throw
streams of water two or even three hun
dred feet are provided. What if the en-
elny should decline to come SO close
What if the invading general should be
mean enough to set down two, three or
five miles away and fire eight or ten-inch
shells at the fort? Night there not be
danger Of the electric apparatus becom-
ing disaTanged under such circumstances,
and conveying its deadly alternating cur
rent into the bodies of the twenty-five de-
lenders
Mr.. Edison's system of warfare is a
good deal like the clowns method of kill
ing f1eas by first catching them and then
prying their mouths open to administer
the poison. The arsenal of modern war
fare is chock full of methods for killing
the enemy when he gets within a range of
two or three hundred feet.

In long account of Richard Croker,
Tammany's leader, in the New York
World, it is given as the opinion Of this
ruler of the country's greatest political
machine that ''there is only one thing in
all politics, only one quality, that man
has got to have to be successful, and that
is gratitude. Never forget a man who has
done YOU a favor, and always stick to the
fellow who has stuck to you" Mr.. Croker
went on to say: Il have some men who
have stuck to me ever since l was twenty
one years old. don't think you will find
one of them in want.
In the above remarkable statement we
have in nutshell the root of nearly all the
evil in American politics. 1t is here prac-
tically admitted that the professional
politician, the business-like politician,
and the practical politician, all enter
the field for no higher purpose than
self-aggrandizement While this is the ac-
knoY!edged rule, purity of purpose with
high aims for the Nations welfare will be
as widely separated from the Legislature
of the country as is the sun from the
earth. Gratitude is one of the finest and
rarest of virtues in private life, but
if the secret of political success is log
rolling then there is small hope for the
Commonwealth. When supplementary
definition of gratitude-that 1t Is a sense
of fayOrS to come-is remembered, the
hold which this rule must have is recog-
nized as appallingly wide-reaching.
The greatest failing of this greatest
country is ifs lack of ability to run purity
and government in the same team. While
politicians are taught that they must push
those who helped them, irrespective of
their fitness TO become the Nations SER
wants, there is no hope that this shame
shall be abolished The man who becomes
q politician for his own ends rather tina
for the good of his country, and the men
who help such schemers are not worthy
the respect or trust of the people of the
greatest Republic in the world.

A THOUSAND DOLLAR NUGGET.
Strange Story Attached to Find in Cali
fornia County.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Jan. ia George
town, Ell Dorado county, special says: 1t has
just leaked out that on Wednesday e. Get
chel Georgetown miner, found a nugget
valued at $1,000 in Devine Gulch, one mile
east of GEORGETOWN. Devine Gulch, which
empties into Oregon Canyon, was so named
from one Devine. an English sailor, who, in
1851, found in this gulch the largest nugget
which, up to that time had been found in
California, its value being $500. The result
of this find is illustrative of tie state of So
ciety at that time Devine gave the nugget
to his wife, and told her that, should he re-
turn home drunk, not to give him the gold,
as he would spend it. He did return home
drunk and as she refused to give him the
gold, he shot and killed her with a shotgun.
Devine was Immediately hanged by the
miners.
1t is said that n most remarkable circum-
stance connected with the lynohing was that
the tree upon which he was hanged very
soon died. In 1852 another nugget valued at
$500 was found. Besides these, several
smaller nuggets have been found at various
times. When Getchef found the nngget he
was sluicing off the ground which had been
condemned as worked out, FOR the purpose
of filling reservoir at the mouth of the
gulch. He noticed a few colors, and fol-
lowed up the lead to where he found what
he supposed to be a piece of quartz but was
tonfshed upon finding it to be gold. 1t
weighed 5614 ounces.

THE BLUE LAW CRUSADE.
nLacks General Public Approval.

IL LACKS General RuDliC Approval.
McKeesport Times.l
The crusade ofthe so-called Law and Order
Society against the Sunday newspapers has
not developed the strength the projectors
evidently hoped for and itlacks general pub
lie approval. The trouble with the Law and
Order Society is that it cannot get away
from the taint of "boodleism." The general
public largely regards the organization as
one for revenue only and that revenue is prin-
cipally derived from harrassing small dealers
in candies and tobacco who are inyeigled
into Sunday selling by detectives" under
pay by the association who go about making
purchases on Sunday so that they may ap-
pear as witnesses against the accused. Do
not these detectives" break the law just as
much as the Sunday seller? Are they not en-
gagged in worldly employment, and is their
employment a necessity under the law? The
general public does not seem to think so.
And regarding the suppression Of the Sun
day newspaper the society is certainly start
ing at the wrong end Instead of prosecut-
ing newsboys and news agents they ought
to get after the proprietors. There is where
the responsibility rests and there they must
finally reach unless they abandon the cru
sade. Prosecute the owners and publishers
of the Sunday papers and then the cases
will be properly taken to the highest court
for final adjustment. The question of Sun
day papers cannot be settled in an Alder
mans Office.

Affidavits From Preachers Saying Hard
Things About the Army.
NEW YORK, Jan. T.-[Special Last sprinr
a score or more of members of the salvation
Army established barracks on Hawthorn
avenue, Yonkers, in a building erected
especially for their accommodation by
George D. Mackay, a stock broker. Thomas
H. Silkman, who lives near the barracks
subsequently obtained temporary injunc-
tion restraining the army from playing on
noisy musical instruments, from parading
in the streets in the vicinity of the building
and from singing in way to disturb the
neighbors. This injunction was con tinued
yesterday by Judge Cullen, in Brooklyn.
Affidavits were presented. showing that
young children were kept awake until late
hour by the loud noises Rev. F. W Foch-
linger the pastor of the German Lutheran
Church in Yonkers, deposed that, while he
favored freedom of worship for every faith,
he was forced to the conclusion, from per-
sonal observation of their peculiar methods,
that the Salvation Army was not a religious
organization. He added: "The hymns sung
snd tunes played are blasphemous rather
than religious, and the words could not be
construed by any religious person as praise
to Almighty God" Marching Through
Georgia" "Red. White and Blue" "Irish
Mary" and "No Flies on Him. were cited as
samples of the hymns sung.
