An Unfair Suggestion.

The New York Tribune is evidently
trying to prevent the international m onetary
conference that is about to meet in Europe
from accomplishing anything by suggesting
that the recent election not only deprives
the administration of authority TO repre-
sent the permanent will Of the people in
respect to the silver question, but also leaves
the question whether or not this country is
willing alone to try the free coinage of
silver in DOUBT
The Tribune knows very well that By the
election Of Mr.. Cleveland on a platform
calling for g silver dollar that is worth
dollar the people decided against the opening
OF our mints 10 the free coinage Of silver at
the present ratio, without an international
agreement IN respect to the matter. The
position Of this country relative to silver is,
therefore. known much better than it was
when the international monetary confer
ence was called.
When the conference meets the delegates
from this country can state this countrys
position with absolute certainty. They
know Mr.. Clevelands views on the silver
question and also those OF the Democratic
party. There will be no reason for the con-
ference TO hesitate to act because the recent
cleo ion was against Gen. Harrison.
While the silver question was not lead
ing one in the recent election the positions
of all parties were we'll understood. The
Peoples party was the only one that favored
the free coinage of silver. On the silver
question there was very little difference be-
tween the declarations Of the Democratic
and Republican parties.
The conference will not be embarrassed in
the least by the failure OF the Harrison
administration to secure an Endorsement.
and the Tribune knows, or ought TO know,
that it will not. The Tribune, however,
judging from what its says, would like to
see 1t embarrassed, SO that it would be in
position TO say the conference failed because
the Republican party was defeated.

The Plate Glass Trust.

The import duty on plate glass under the
Mckinley act averages nearly 100 per cent.
The plate glass output Of this country is
furnished by eleven manufactures. Under
the stimulus of the 100 per cent. tax levied
on consumers for their benefit, the owners
OF these eleven manufactures, according to
their statements, have been led to injure
their own trade by producing more plate
glass than The country can consume. To
remedy that condition Of affairs they say
they have formed combination to limit
the output to what they calculate the de-
mand will be- At present the price Of the
product is 55 cents per foot. IL will not be
any cheaper until the tariff is revised. The
| change will be the other way as soon as the
manufacturers get their trust "copper"
fastened
This plate glass combine proves the fall
lacy of tho republican claim that protection
is the best policy to assist American indus
tries. Accepting the manufacturers state
ment that overproduction has hurt the
market, it is plain that protection forces an
artificial growth which finally becomes
top-heavy and self-destructive unless that
bane Of independent trade, trusts, be re-
sorted to. And once trust is formed in
any line Of industry or enterprise the es.
tablishment of new plants or houses in COM
petition with the trust is almost out of the
question. The trust feeds on the carcass of
the newcomer and sinks its fangs deeper
into the body of consumers.
AS far as the other side of the tariff uues-
ton is concerned it is not necessary to com
ment. On the injustice OF levying tax Of
100 per cent. on every merchant who
wishes 20 put IN a show window or who
buys show case, every builder OF a
modern house. every purchaser of a neat set
of furniture with mirrors and every user
of plate glass in the numerous ways it is
now utilized, for the benefit Of these eleven
plate glass works it is unnecessary to COM
ment. The injustice is too patent

Senator Washburn will attempt to force
his anti-options lii through the Senate at
the coming session, it is said. whether any
other measure is considered or not. After
the thorough exposure that has cen made
of the evil tendencies the passage Of the bill
would have upon Legitimate trade in future
deliveries Of grain, etc., it is more than
likely that opposition to the measure when
it comes up again will be found stronger
than when it was laid aside last summer.
Large delegations will go to Washington for
the purpose of combating the bill which
they will claim was framed for the benefit
of the elevator and -four mill men, and
against the interest OF producers OF wheat,
corn, cotton ard other commodities that
are usually sold for actual future delivery.

Base ball next season will not be the gilt

Base ball next season will not be the gilt
edged game that il has been heretofore to
the players in the league, and, indeed, it
may not be all that the patrons of the sport
would like 30 have it. The "magnatesn Of
the league have resolved upon a cut of about
40 per cent. in salaries, which some of the
star players may not feel disposed 10 accept
The consequence will probably be that
many of the old favorites will be missing
when time is called for the beginning Of the
next season, and young and unknown men
will be in their places.

A Great Afro-American Game.

Should Albert Edward, OF Wales, con-
clude to visit America during the time of
she worlds fair. it might be his privilege
and pleasure to take back with him and IN
troduco into Europe a new and simple, yet
fascinating game Of Afro-American ori-
gin. 1t is said TO be not a whit less fascinat-
ing and more easily counted than baccarst,
although known by the plebian name
of ''craps." The game has for some time
been favorite pastlme with southern ne
groes, and has probably caused them TO
sustain losses comparatively greater than
the losses sustained by white sports who
play at faro, keno, poker, "red-and black"
and the other games Of chance which lure
coins from their pockets.
Craps, unlike some of the games men-
toned. requires no expensive layout It is
played with either three or Ave dice, which
the players roll, from box or the closed
hand, on q board, the ground or any fiat
surface, according to the exigencies Of the
occasion. The spots count as in ordinary
games with dice, and it is the players OBJ
ject to throw spots aggregating or on
the first attempt Either or wins the
toss, he must, to win, duplicate the number
first thrown before he throws or 9. For
instance, If q player throws at the first
toss he must, to win, again throw before
throwing Z or g. He may continue to throw
until one of the three numbers shows up
Should 7 or 8 c'craps'O show up when he
has thrown 8 at the first attempt, and be-
fore he has again thrown s, he loses
his hand" and the privilege Of
throwing passes on to the next
player. whose privileges are the same as
were those of the player preceding him.
Should two or more players throw or 8
at the first attempt they become tiled" and
must "throw off" when the other players
have gone out" or failed to throw craps. e"
Three dice, pine plank and a pocket full
| Of pennies, except the players, are all neo-
esssry TO the game Of CRAPS in its native
territory. But it is said that the fascinating
sport has been transplanted from Yama-
craw, where it originated, to the gilded
saloons and club pHrlors OF Saratoga and
| New York and to the millionaires' cottages
at Newport, where costly ivories are rolled
out OF fancy cups on green
baize in the more or less elusive attempt to
''bring N at the first attempt, or get
''craps" before or turns up.
One of these days this great game may be
recognized as capitalization of high-class
American genius and given place along
with ecarte and baccarat st marlborough
house, and with faro and roulette at Monte
Carlo. Looking forward TO that great day,
let it be well understood that Yamecraw
claims to be birthplace OF craps.

1t appears that some Of the remarkably
quick voyages across the ocean, by the
"greyhounds" that ply between New York
and European ports, are fictitious. The
regularity with which records have been
smashed by the great ships is itself a sus-
picious circumstance, but it seems that the
statements Of the officers and their log books
have been accepted without question. Re-
Gently, however, it has been discovered that
Capt. Irving, of the Teutonic, "doctored"
bis log book to eclipse the record of IA rival
steamer. He has been removed from COM
mand Of the vessel. Capt. Irving, by the
way, is not the only commander of a trans
atlantic liner that has got himself into
trouble recently. Capt Collier, of the
French liner LaBretagne, has been charged
by the surveyor OF the port Of New York
with having fraudulently brought immi-
grants into this country. The offense is
punishable by a fine of $4,000 and four
years imprisonment. The captains Of the
steamers City of Paris and City of New
York, the ships recently granted American
registry, will lose their ships, because they
cannot acquire citizenship in the United
States by the time the transfer of flags is
to be made

Our Immense Pension Burden.
From the 81. L,ouis Rep,bIic (Den,.).

From the 81. Louis Republic (Deni.).
There con be no doubt that the popular re-
action against the enormous pension burden in
ticted upon the country by republican legisa-
ton played q considerable part in the sweeping
victory OF last week. since then the treasury
secrets which were carefully guarded during
the campaign have begun TO leak out. and it is
learned that the payments for pensions which
we're expected TO reach $40 1000, 600 this year
will actually reach about Sl75,OOO0 900, and that
in 1898 they are likely to climb TO the stipend
GUS total OF $500, 0CO, 900 per annum. Had this
been known before election day, and had IL
been known in addition to this that the govern
ment is confronted with deficit of from e75.
100000 to $4,000 600. Harrison could not have
obtained 100 votes in the electoral college.

nobody cared to call him to account and make

be good witness, and at the examining trial he
was put on the stand.

the court.
"Nothin', yer honor" he replied 80 promptly
as TO startle those who had heard his story.

Mr.. olevelaud's Latest Utterance.
From the Ehilndslphta LEDGER Tnd.l.

Mr.. Cleveland is not only believer in the
tenets Of his party. but he has a just conception
OF the perils OF sordid partisanship. He serves
notice upon the spoilsmen that be means TO do
his duty by the whole country, according TO his
light, and that his course shall be guided by
conscience and patriotic endeAvor 1t Is an in
sstance that public Office is public trust, and
that party spirit shall be confined TO its proper
place as conservator of the public good, and
not given license as an agent of rapine and pill
iage. In so far as Mr.. Cleveland shall hold fast
to the realization of his high ideal, he will have
the godspeed OF the American people.
