Pumping Out the silver Ocean.

Mr.. ALFRED DE RoTHscH1LD. one OF the
British delegates to the International None
tary Conference now In session at Brussels.
has submitted to the consideration Of tho
conference plan for increasing tho value
OF silver by diminishing the quantity Of 1t
put upon the market. Mr.. RoTHscHILD
pro, oscs that the great commercial coun-
tries should unite in purchasing. each year
for five years. silver to the value OF G5 600, :
900. or. say. S25.0OO.OO0, in addition to tho
b4.OoO.OOO ounces now purchased yearly by
the United States tho purchases to be sus-
pended whenever silver reaches the price OF
Is pence sterling Per ounce.
Mr.. DE ROTHsCHILD'S scheme. IL adopted
and carried out, would result in the absorp-
ton through European agencies OF about
10000 900 ounces Of silver annually for tho
period he specifies. Added to the 5i.O0o.OoO
ounces annually purchased by this country.
It would make q total amount OF S4.OO0.oC0
ounces annually taken up and withheld
from sale to the public.
Considering that tho quantity Of silver
now produced by tho mines Of tho world is
over 100. DOC, 600 ounces Il year, and is steadily
Increasing, the proposition To raise its price
by buying up two-thrhs Of it looks very
much like one for lowering the level Of the
ocean by pumping tho water out Of it.
However. the conference is going to discuss
this proposition. and it may he put to the
test OF experience. Perhaps, though. it
wasn't intended for adoption.

a Policy for Both Parties.

The Hon. JOHN s. PILLSBURY, a Gopher
Plutocrat. pillar Of the Republican North
west. and sometime Governor OF Minne-
sofa. Is not ono OF those BourboncsGuc and
Depewesquo Republicans who don't know
what struck them on Nov. 8. II do not be-
lieve In the Force bill" says Mr.. PILLsBURY.
81 am not MCKINLEY man by any means.
1t was a great mistake to raise the tariff on
any articles" In other words. Mr.. PILLS
BURY thinks that the trouble with the Re-
publican party in the last three years has
been that it didn't know where to stop. 1t
has been too severely logical. Mr.. REED
and MI. MCKINLEY proceeded upon Deacon
One-horse Shay's theory that logic is logic
Hence the soup.
Mr.. P1LLsBURY's recipe for clambering
out Of tho present predicament Is this:
Tho conservative element In the party has got 10
take control for few years Tho radical men have
bean running things, aud we must change the order"
4 rational recipe. but how are they to
Induce or force the Republican party to take
It? Ton REED is not the man to walk bare
loot over the dornicks OF repentance.
Neither is Major MCKINLEY. They don't
believe that they were too radical. They
are convinced that the people were too con-
sentative. So far rs we have observed, the
great majority Of Republican leaders are
not In the mood OF Mr.. PILLsBuRY OF Min
nesota. Their main hope OF recovering
power Is the hope that the Democratic pol
Icy will be rash. reckless. extreme. doctrin-
aire. The Republicans have not much mind
for reform and repentance. They are build
ing their expectations upon the folly which
thcy trust will lead the Democrats into the
same pit.
The moral Of all OF which for the Demo-
Gratis Is: Don't jump. Slide.

The February Election-Should 1t Be
Postponed?

The act OF the Legislature passed IN April
last which provides for a Constitutional
Convention to be held at Albany in May
next. directs that the election for delegates
shall be held on the second Tuesday OF Feb
ruary. 1893.
1t is probable that at least quarter OF a
million dollars could be saved to the people
of this State by postponing this election
until next November. and choosing the DEL
cgates to the Constitutional Convention at
the genera. election to he held in that
month. Such a postponement would. OF
course. render 1t necessary also to post
pone the date fixed for the meeting Of the
Convention. but delay OF few months
might well be endured for the sake of saving
SO large sum to the taxpayers.
The expense Of n separate election OF DEL
egates to the Constitutional Convention ia
estimated by good authorities at upward of
100000 II the delegates were chosen at n
general election. the expense would prob
ably not amount to half this sum.
AS we have already pointed out. there
were very serious objections to electng
the members OF the Constitutional Conven-
ton Mt the recent Presidential election,
when there were so many candidates to be
voted for and three proposed amendments
to the Constitution to be passed upon. At
the next State election. however. the num-
Der OF offices to be filled will be compare
lively few. and the voters will DO fairly
able to make an intelligent choice among
the persons nominated for delegates to the
Constitutional Convention.
The Legislature OF 1888 will have entire
control over this matter. 1t can amend the
existing statute in reference to the Consti-
tutional Convention as 1t sees fit. The
question OF postponing the election of dele
gates from February to November is
worthy o: serious consideration.

that large majority OF the Swedish peo-
pie are determined that so much union
as still supsists shall remain unbroken.
There are Swedish Radicals who sympa-
thze with the progressive tendencies OF
the Norwegian Radical party. and especial
ly with the lutter's programme OF labor
legislation. Yet even they are 30 far car
rled along by Swedish national sentiment
rs TO protest against any step which. like
the establishment OF separate diplomatic
representatives. would apparently involve
tho disruption OF Scandinavia. Should.
therefore, m appeal to force be ultimately
made. the Swedish sovereign could depend
on the unanimous support of the Swedish
nation. On tho other hand. there ia In
Norway a snail Conservative party which
fnvors tho maintenance OF the present
slight bond OF union, and would probably
refuse to join with the Norwegian Radicals
in an attempt to sunder II by violence.
The case OF Norway seems to prove that
even the largest possible measure OF home
rule which Is compatible with any political
association with another State does not
necessarily assure n union OF hearts. Few
countries could enter on tho experiment
Norway and Sweden. They were bound to
one another by the ties OF common race
and common creed. On the other hand,
II should be noted that. as regards identity
of language. Norway makes a closer ap-
pronch to Denmark than to Sweden. and In
respect OF social structure there Ia broad
difference. Norway being essentially de-
mocracy and Sweden an aristocratic coun-
try. The divergence In respect OF language
and OF social institutions coupled with the
national animosity bred by three centu-
ries Of warfare. seems to have more
than countcrbalanced tho harmonic
ing tendencies OF common clinical
origin and common religion. II from
Norwegian experience ono should attempt
to forecast tho effect OF home rule In pro-
noting n union OF hearts between Ireland
and England. one would have to admit that,
while between 1rishmen and EnElishmen
there is q virtually complete identity OF
language. there arc differences Of race and
creed and also of socia! institutions the
great majority OF Irishmen having long
been. not peasant proprictors like the Nor
wcgians. but tcnants-at-will OF the land
thoy cultivate 1t follows that the situation
OF Norway, not DelHS historically VI ucIu-
ally analogous to that OF Ireland. no FORE
cast of the consequences Of Irish home rule
can reasonably be based on 1t. 1t should also
be remembered that, while Sweden Is con-
siderably richer and more populous than is
Norway, the disproportion Of wealth and
population is incomparably greater be-
tween Great Britain and Ireland. The
chance. therefore. OF home rule leading to
the forcible assertion OF independence is
mnimized in the case Of Ireland.

The Heresy Of DR.. Briggs.

The trial OF DR.. BRIGGS for heresy keeps
him In place OF great prominence. AS a
professor In the Union Theological Semi
nary he had remained for years In COM
parative obscurity. for nowhere else Is a
minister more completely hidden away
than In such a school. Suddenly he be-
came famous. and naturally enough he en-
joys the distinction. even II his condemna-
ton as hereto shall be tho price of it.
Whatever the response to his demurrer of
yesterday. whatever Presbytery. Synod.
and General Assembly may do in
his case. his heresy will continue to
be his most valuable capital. II will pre-
vent his dropping out Of the public thought
for some time Mt least. Already it has
broken tho connection between tho Union
Seminary and the General Assembly. and
thus procured for him substantial backing.
After no Is proclaimed as hereto the
same condemnation must be visited upon
all his colleagues OF the faculty. and the
entire Board OF Directors. men of wealth
and distinction in the Presbyterian
Church. must sit In the boat along
with them. Dr. BRIGGS. accordingly.
can afford t, box forward to the re-
suit Of his trial with complacency, How
ever it may he with Presbyterianism, he is
all right. His place In the seminary Is Sc
cure. even essential to the maintenance OF
the institution. and the theological battle
now begun will be fought around him as
the central figure.
1t may be proved against him that his
teachings contradict the Westminster
standards. but then the question will arise
whether the diversity does not necessitate
the rejection of tho standards rather than
the rejection OF him. The charges against
him in the Presbytery say. for instance,
that in teaching that MOSES is not the
author Of tho Prutateuch he denies
the direct statements Of Holy Scrip
ture" and tho Essential doctrines of the
standards. They say that In teaching that
IsAIAH Is not the author OF half the book
that bears his name he Is fiagrantly
herctical for the same reason. But these
doctrines are not original with him.
He has simply borrowed them from Euro
pean Biblical scholars. and after his conVo-
ton they will remain the same as before
They are not dogmas. but positive evil
dence. scientific In character. II your

Three cheers for history

1t Is common remark that one white
man is equal to ten African natives In battle.
This is probably true If tho natives are armed
only with their own wea pons: but It's not true
II they have guns and know how to use them.
and 1t is still further from true when tho ma
tives. Dahomeynns. for instance. are superior
to most African peoples in intelligence and
courage. Col. DoDDs had only 1000 soldiers
mostly well-trained natives OF Senegal. to op-
pose to $4,000 Dahomeyans. His force was
not man too many, and he waited for re-
endorsements before he undertook the lost
battles ct Gamma and Abomey. His strong
point was his artillery. without which he would
have been only on even terms with the enemy.
His total loss in killed and wounded was about
one-twelfth OF his entire force. which was very
largo considering that he was fighting with q
semi-barbarous foe.
