SILVER MEN DIE HARD.
Congressman Warner Insists That Their
Day Is Sure to Come.


Day Is Sure to Come.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2L-[SpeciaLl l-Ex-C Con-
gresham A. j. Warner. of Ohio, President
of the American Bi-metallic League, to-day
issued the following letter to the public:
-Four years ago the Republican party
came into power, and for the first time in
the history of the country adopted the ex-
treme protective policy OF excluding trade
in competing products in order to preserve
the home market exclusively for home pro-
ducers. They assured the country this policy
would stop the fall OF prices and bring
about general prosperity. 1t has not done
so; it has not prevented the continued fall
of prices nor relieved the mass of the people
from the evils of increasing debt and taxes
caused by the increase in the money stand
ard. On the contrary, it has engeDdered
for few advantage over the many. On the
4th of March next Democrats, for the first
time In more than so years, will have the
They are pleged to revise the tariff on lines
leading to free trade and promise by this
policy to do what the Republicans have
tailed to do. This policy will also fail, and
is likely, by increasing imports, to draw
gold and precipitate instead or preventing
the further fall of prices. Then their turn
Will come. The force bill will be out of the
South. The ties that bind men to parties,
whether or no, are everywhere being
loosened and principles more and more
govern voters.
"The continued fall of prices is due to one
cause.-the increase in the money standard;
that is, in the value of gold. In other words,
the change is in the measure and not in the
commodities. This evil cannot be cured by
tariff legislation. There is no remedy but
to stop the increase in the value of the
money unit and until this is stopped the
stealthy appropriation Of the earnings OF
the people by the insidious device of an in
creasing money standard will go on.
"Such a money standard is no more defensi-
BILE or tolerable than would be an increas-
ing unit of length or OF weight, or volume.
The next issue, therefore, will be the money
question, nor will this issue be long de-
layed; its suppression by the two leading
parties in the campaign just closed did not
settle it. The people are being educated on
the money question taste" than politicians
comprehend and they will not submit for
ever to the robbery of an increasing gold
standard. Now is the time for bi-metpllists
to organic and push to the front the issue
of free bi-metallic coinage"

AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL PROCEEDING.

Hon. Michael d: Harter, of Ohio, who
has won national reputation by first fight
ing free silver coinage in the House and
then presenting in its place the much more
vicious State bank circulation proposal, is
reported to have made a fresh stroke for
fame. About the time that the Demo-
cratic politicians of his district were ready
to fall out with each other over the ques-
tion who should have the postoffices, Mr.
Harter has quelled all further dispute by
announcing that he had that matter all
settled, and publishing the list of the per-
sons whom he had selected to fill the
various positions.
This may still the Democratic tumult in
the Mansfield district over The offices. But
it can hardly fail to evoke one question
which ought to be of decided pertinence
to the leaders of party which makes de-
cided professions of loyalty to the Consti-
tuition and bases its campaigns on reform
WHAT section or clause of the Constitu-
ton vests the power of appointment in
Mr. Harter so indisputably that he is au-
thorizad to announce his appointments a
year before the Congress to which he has
Ii
astonish foreigner, after hearing of Mr.
Harter's summary action, to learn that
there is no authority whatever ior his
making the appointments.
Party usage carried to the degree of
abuse has given Congressman a decided
authority in recommendations for offices;
but the extent to which party usage has
displaced constitutional government is
signalized to a remarkable degree when
Michael D. Harter feels empowered to an
nounce the appointments for his district
three months before the President, who is
charged by the Constitution with the re-
sponsibility for all appointments, is in
augurated. 1t would certainly be discreet
for Congressman of the alleged reform
and constitutional party to profess the
virtue, if they have it not, of believing
that the President will make the appoint
ments instead of arrogating to themselves
the executive power

EX-SENATOR EDMUNDs is emphatic in
declaring his belief in the constitutio nality
of tile Sherman antitrust act. and the in
tention of its trainers to reach railroad pool
and traffic arrangements. He is at least
right in urging its rigid enforcement, and
the courts should be provided with plenty
of opportunities to test the matter. lf 1t
should be found that the act really provides
Il method for dealing with monopolistic
evils. q very general public satisfaction
would result. On the other hand without
energetic prosecutions neither this law nor
any other will be found competent to cope
with evils that ought to be cured and rot
endured.

his election to the American people more
than to any individual supporter, or clique
OF ice-seeking politicians In exercising
his powers of patronage, therefore. he must
show his gratitude to the people by appoint
ing to office those best fitted to discharge
official functions. By SO doing Mr.. Cleve-
land has everything to gain and nothing to
lose. His reputation cannot but be affected
for better or worse according to the charac-
ter of the appointees. And the better the
appointments he makes, the better will 1t
be both for his reputation and the welfare
of the country. In his second term, Grover
Cleveland has an unrivaled opportunity to
make q record in this direction that shall
be q bright example for his successors.

PACIFIC RAILROAD FUNDING.
Commissioner Taylor Has Several Sugges-
tions In the Form Of Amendments.

Commissioner Taylor Has Several Sugges-
tions In the Form of Amendments.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The special report
of Hon. II. A. Taylor, Commissioner of Rail-
roads, relative to Senate bill No. 75l pro-
viding for the funding of the debts of the
Pacific Railroad, which he has made O part
of his annual report, has been received by
Secretary Noble. The Commissioner re-
views the pending mes sure at length, and su =
gests amendments, the general purpose of
which is the extension of the debt to 100
years, with interest at 2 per cent, and a GER
tain portion OF the principal to be paid at the
expiration of each six months during that
time, so that at the end of the 100 years the
entire debt will have been extfnguished.
The bill as amended the Commissioner be-
lieves. would, If enacted into law, fully pro-
tect the interests of the Government and
secure the final payment to it of all the
money, principal and interest due from the
bonded roads. He does not believe that any
measure fixing shorter period Of payment
or a higher rate of interest will be accepted
by the railroad companies.

will receive pension proportioned to his
salary and the length OF his service.
In other words, the employment Of ad-
ministrative officials solely with view to
their efficiency, and keeping them apart
from politics, makes the difference be-
tween municipal expenditure of twelve
dollars per capita in Pittsburg and less
than four per capita in Birmingham.
When people grasp the full meaning OF
that fact they will be likely to improve on
the Birmingham example, and insist that
national politics shall be entirely excluded
from any municipal election.

TWELVE PAGES
PUBLIC SPIRIT WANTED.

For some reason or other Pittsburg mer-
chants and manufacturers have hitherto
signally failed to respond to the call for
united action to remove railroad dis
elimination against this city. Elsewhere
will be found letter from Mr.. George L.
Oliver to the Chairman of the Chamber of
Commerce Committee on Rules and
Transportation, which contains striking
comparison between the railroad treat
ment of Buffalo and that of Pittsburg.
The statement of figures is followed by
the natural reasoning that Buffalo's su-
perior advantages are due to Buffalo's
more energetic public spirit If those in
this city whose personal interests are
directly at stake would show some slight
symptom of the energy displayed by the
writer of the letter referred to, and one or
two other persistent movers in the matter,
the gain would be great alike for the in
dividuals and for the municipality.
Short-slghted apathy on all matters not
pertaining to the regular routine of busi-
ness must give place to perspicuous CO.
operative effort, if Pittsburg and Pitts
burgers are to maintain and improve their
position to the nation. On general prin-
ciples Pittsburg needs more public spirit,
if indeed it can be said to have any at all
at present And in this particular Pitts
burg needs a freight bureau with a COM
petent off Ger at its head to look after the
interests of the city and its surroundings
in regard to railroad conveniences. This
bureau cannot be started and carried on
by one or two men or firms; it needs con-
certed action for its incipience and main
tenance. And when once the necessity
for the improvement has been realized its
establishment should form the stepping
stone to further developments of the mu-
nicipaiity by the agency of public spirit.

THE FIRST SHOT OF THE WAR.
General Beauregard Saws That 1t Was Fired
by James Chestnut, Jr.


by James Chestnut, Jr.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2l.-[Specidl. l-Gen-
eral Beaurogard has made public a state
ment which seems to settle the identity OF
the man who fired the shot that begun the
late war. He takes exception to the state
ment that Major W. M. Gibbs, of South Caro-
lima, fired the first gun against Fort Sumter
on April IL, 1851.
General Beauregard says that his recol-
lections are that the shot was fired by James
Chestnut, Jr., aide de camp of the General.
The honor of firing the shot was offered to
General Pryor, but he refused TO accept it
as his State had not yet seeded.
