TIE SENATE SILVER BILL.

1t 10 very amusing game of politics
which Congress is now playing over silver,
but it is not at all clever. The passage Of
the free coinage bill by the Senate on Fri
day means absolutely nothing SO far as sill
yer is concerned, and those hopeful friends
Of the white metal who imagine they are
encouraged by the action of the upper house
ought not to permit themselves to become
unduly excited.
There are no senators who really intend
that free coinage bill shall reach the pres
ident at this session OF Congress, Repub-
licans and Democrats are equally afraid Of
the business. They are not only afraid of
free coinage law, but are afraid that the
opposite party will gain some advantage by
more earnest advocacy Of the proposition.
II 1t had been certain that the passage of
the bill by the Senate would be followed
by its passage through the House. enough
Democrats and Republicans would have
voted against it to defeat the bill. 1t ia
pretty well understood-in fact, it is fairly
well known, that the bill will not reach a
vote in the House, even If it should escape
from the committee to which 1t will be re-
ferred and find place on the calendar. 1t
was this knowledge of the situation
which permitted the bill to obtain
majority IN the Senate An an
alysis of the vote will show how
cleverly the game was played. The
silver loving Democrats Of the west and
south can point with pride' to the fact
that Democratic senators voted for the bill.
and the goldite Democrats of the east can
refer with pleasure to the circumstance
that prominent Democratic senators on
posed the measure. Thus the Democratic
voters of the east and those of the west
and south win still be loyal to their party.
On the other hand, the Republicans of the
west can produce goodly number Of sena-
tors who declared themselves the friends
of silver, and Republicans Of the east will
be able to show that their party senator's
are for "honest money" HARRISON has
not been hurt CLEVELAND has not been in
lured, the Minneapolis and Chicago plat
forms are intact and honors are even. no.
body having gained any advantage.
The passage of the free coinage bill at
the next session is not improbable. In
deed, it may be regarded as quite likely. |
The silver sentiment in this Congress. we
have always thought, was strong enough
to give free coinage had it not been for the
fear imposed by the approaching presi-
Dental election. The contest being de-
cided the friends Of silver, without regard
to party, will feel there is nothing to lose
by voting according to their honest con-
Eictions. and free coinage law may be
The result. But no such law need be hoped
Tor at this session, Notwithstanding the
majority by which the bill +

SENATOR STEWART.

There is good deal of talk these days
about Senator STEWART Of Nevada and his
nomination TO the presidency by the Peo-
ple's convention now in session at Omaha
We do not believe the old man will accept
the place, and yet, in the language of his
sage brush Piutes, white man mighty un-
certain" 1t is impossible to predict what
a man will do when he turns cranky, and
it will not be denied that his affection for
silver has made Senator STEWART an out
and out crank. Besides, ne would lose
nothing from accepting this nomination.
1t might, indeed. prove beneficial to him in
his own state, where 80 many OF the citizens
have lost their heads over silver, and are run
ming wild as to party politics. If STEWART
were to become q presidential candidate on
a free coinage platform it would make him
"solid" in Nevada and insure his return to
the Senate, so that whilst we do not thiEk
ne is prepared to read himself out of the
Republican party and fix matters in way
that it would be necessary for him to flock
by himself in the upper house of Congress,
stranger things than that have happened,
and 1t may De that the silver bearded Sena-
tor, who has been one of the staunch and
reliable Republicans all these years, may
pose for tho next few months as the open
enemy to the party with which he has al
ways trained.

THE Confession.

We don't half like the hint which comes
from Washington that the House may re-
cede from its position regarding the Utah
commission, and accept the Senate's pro-
position to let the useless and objection
able board live along on reduced salary
II this shall be done people will wonder
why the House undertook to abolish the
commission. Cutting down the salary
amounts to nothing beyond the saving to
the treasury Of the money involved. 1t
won't relieve Utah of the partisan nuis-
ance; it won't cure the evilof which every
body, except the Liberal bosses who con-
troll the commission, complains. The unfair
and partisan registration will continue
whether Msssrs GODFREY and as
socrates are paid $4,000 or $4,000 year.
The sameirresponsi6Ie registration officers
will be carefully selected and endowed
with power, If not directly instructed, to
favor one party and oppose others; the
same refussls to correct wrongs
against citizens will be repeated; the same
unfair judges will be placed in
change of the polls, and the same efforts
be put forth by the commission to subordi-
nate the majority to the minority. IL the
board is to be continued for no other rea-
son than to provide for its members who
are the pauper friends of the senators, the
people Of Utah will cheerfully contribute
the amount of the salaries if by so doing
they can be relieved of the commission.
/. We are not without hope that the House
will stand by the right and be firm in its
opposition to the prolongstion of the evil.
but we would feel good deal better if
there were no signs of weakening on the
part of friends in the House.

THE TERRITORIES.

| The Republican Times Of Denver says:
New Mexico should be admitted to state
hood at once A Republican Senate is
making defenssless record for itself on
tni' bill. Such partissnship as it is now
displaying is not only discreditable but it
is disgusting" There is no doubt of the
correctness of these propositions They
are self evident. The remarkable thing
about 1t is that Republican newspaper
should have the courage to champion the
cause OF Democratic territory. The
novelty OF the proceeding is such as to
excite wonderment. Nothing Of the kind
has ever before happened since there was
q Republican party. Strange things
are occurring in Colorado these
days, especially in press circles.
Not long ago the Republican
papers were subscribing to affidavits that
they would never no never, support for
the presidency BENJAMIN HARRISON, or
any other man who was an avowed enemy
10 the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
That was before the Minneapolis conven-
ton. The assembled office holding host
having nominated Mr.. HARRISON, the Aft
davits were pigeon-holed and the newspa-
pers placed at the heads of their columns
the name Of the Objectionable Hoosier On
the other hand we find Democratic organs
which were saying mighty mean things
concerning GROVER CLEVELAND few days
ago, now claiming that he is the one man
who can rescue the country from the grasp
OF the Republican spectators. and restore
the nubiio m tho poor.lo,o -,,Ia
AS for New Mexico. it should have been
admitted to the Union long ago-before
Idaho and Wyoming, and even before
Montana and North Dakota were emanci-
pated. And she would have been admitted
without question had 1t not been for her
politics, which happened to be Democratic.
Inc Republican party has never yet ad-
nitted Democratic territory. 1t has
never consented to the taking into the
Union of state which did not show a sat-
lsfactory and safe Republican majority,
and when territory could do this, no
other questions were asked. Population.
wealth, ability to maintain state govern
ment, were never taken into account
fortunately the time is fast approaching |
when New Mexico and the other terri |
tories will not be dependent for relief upon |
Republican Congress or Republican ad-
ninistration. Next November will put an
