Silver Education.

We are asked what TIE HERALD would
advise in the way OF the silver education
it desires to see promoted. The author OF
the query speaks OF silver conventions,
distribution of pamphlets. speeches and ar
ticles OF the silver question, ana other
means employed IN the work already.
Well. we would have them continued. Also
we advise labor of love with the legis-
lators OF the land.
Is the statement IS true that "There
never was a question of half the magni
tude of the silver question which public
men knew so little about, as the public
men of today know about the silver ques-
ti0n,' does not that prove the necessity of
the campaign of education which The
HERALD is advocating! II the pu bic men
of today are ignorant, let the public
men of today be educated. Send
pamphlets to them, or, what would be
much better, send sensible silver men to
talk with them and try to enlighten and
convert them. 1t will be OF no use to send
silver fanatics who only see or are patient
with one side of the question. They must
be reasonable and courteous advocates,
aud representatives who are not known to
be silver men should be furnished with
necessary information. Let the light be
turned upon them.
1t is folly to make the President of the
United States responsible for the failure of
silver projects. AS we have already
shown, he cannot withstand the pressure
of popular opinion If the country is con
verted TO silver as money, if the law
makers of the land who reflect their views
are also brought to recognize the claims of
the white metal, the Executive, whether
he be Democrat or Republican, will not
hold out long, whatever may be his private
bias on the subject
| We repeat our opinion that until there is
more general understanding of the merits
of this important question, both by public
men and ordinary citizens, silver man
could not be elected president of the
United States. Those who think that
officer the pivot on which this question
turns, and imagine that his conversion
would settle the whole matter, begin at the
wrong end of the education movement. 1t
is the eastern public that needs light. And
it is those public men that are SO poorly
informed who must be tutored. The exec
utive of this nation will fall into line and
take the head of the column when t he PEG
pie ana the Congress are enlisted under
the silver banner.

The Darkest England scheme of Sal
walton Army BooTa does not seem to pros
per much. The great manipulation is calling
for moro money. Hr must have $500. 600
or the whole concern will go to pieces.
Half million dollars was the first demand,
and, if we remember rightly, it was forth
coming, or something approaching TO it was
subscribed In addition, $50 900 a year
was wanted, and this does not appear to
pour in as anticipated. Then, there are
ugly rumors about the misuse of the origi-
nal half million, and General Booth, like
all recipients of large amounts of public
money, is under the ban of suspicion.
The Salvation Army movement may have
done good il the reclamation Of few
drunken and disorderly persons, and in
awakening interest on religious matters
among the toughest elements of society.
But it is largely money-making concern,
and the gathering of funds forms promi-
nent and never failing feature of all the
army tactics and observances.
There was an element of promise for
practical social reform in the "Darkes t
England project. but the sentiment be-
hind it was too much Of the song and
dance order to be clsssed as religious In
motive or expression. The enthusiasm and
wild excitement of Salvation Army '.co n
versions soon fade away when brought
into practical life and made the incentive
to labor and its stern realities. Religious
enterprises must have something moro to
prompt them than high feeling and shout
ing mood, aud unless they are backed by
sound principles and calm convictions,
neither good intentions nor heaps of
money will make them permanently sue
cessful.
We hope General Booth viii be able
to pacify if not convince the clamorers for
an accounting OF funds subscribed, and
that some good at least may come out of
his plan for the amelioration of England's
poorest people.

urged with so much haste and SO little dis
erection that mistakes were inevitable. 1t
was a movement chiefly OF real estate
boomers, who could not wait for proper
deliberation and who cared more for imme-
date sales than for the public welfare.
Warnings of calmer minds had no effect,
and the miserable arrangement now ex-
posed by the mayor was the result.
We hope the city council will not indulge
in the spirit of antagonism to the mayor
which it has so frequently exhibited to the
extent, on this occasion, of passing 1t over
his veto without proper consideration Of
his objections. And in this connection we
may add, the people of this city regard the
frequent unseemly exhibitions Of personal
feeling between members Of the council
and between that body aud the mayor as
below the dignity of municipal conclaye
and closely approaching the intolerable. AS
to the gravitation system suggested by the
mayor, there need be no great haste to de-
eide. 1t is certain, however, that the pres
ent system, or lack of system, is mistake
and the sewerage question coufronts the
city to-day as formidably as it cid when
the subject was first mooted. Let us pro
coed carefully and avoid further blunders.

Mayer Bsskin has startled the city coun-
ell with another veto. 1t seems, too. that
his exercise of the power wisely bestowed
upon him is, once more, backed by reason
and good judgment. Until the whole ques
ton of the disposition OF the city sewage is
permanently settled, it win be a further
waste of public money to potter with it by
buying another expensive pump.
The city, it appears, has no valid claim
on the land where the present plant is
placed, nor on the area where the sewage
is discharged Aud the mayor has empna-
sized the statement which has several
times appeared in The HERALD, that q
large portion of the filth OF this city is
emptied into the Jordan river, and has
been so disposed OF, right along That is
one Of the things which the public objected
TO when the sewer project was first agi-
tated. The mayor may try to palliate the
evils resulting from that pollution Of the
river, bat we do not think dwellers along
the banks OF the stream and owners Of
property adjacent thereto will look upon
them so }enlently.

Politics and the Pulpit,

The subject of politics and the pulpit, or
the relation between the religious aud the
political in the United states, has been
much commented upon of late. On the one
hand it is contended that minister's of re-
ligion should confine themselves to things
spiritual; on the other hand it is agreed
that no man is to be deprived of his rights
as citizen because of his association with
the church or his position as an ecclesiast.
1t will not be denied, we presume, that
religious official has the right to vote, to
hold office, If elected, to advocate right
conduct in all the affairs of life, 10 oppose
iniquity snd oppression, TO denounce public
evils, to encourage everything essential to
public and private morality and to exhort
mankind to righteousness as citizens, or
public servants, or members of the social
body. In a private capacity, too, he may
advocate the principles of any party TO
which he may be conscien tiously attached,
and do anything that a Christian citizen
may lawfully and truthfully perform.

In THE campaign which has just closed
the party which stands for liberty has
gained mighty victory; but just so long
as there remain those who delight to ex-
ercise authority and control of their fell
lowmen and groom" them, just SO long
viii they unite into party for the accom-
plshment OF their purposes and strive for
the mastery. Though a great victory has
been won for the party which stands for
the widest possible freedom for the indi-
vidual consistent with public peace and
safety, the friends of good government
have not arrived at either the time or
place where they can lay down their arms
or strip of their armor and rest in security.
Never more than now ought they to realize
that eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty.'.

constituency comprises more heads of fam
