THE COUNTY SALARIES.

The County Controller yesterday indi
Gated his acceptance of the situation under
the recent decision of the Supreme Court
with regard to county salaries by taking
out a warrant for the sharply reduced
salary allowed by the acts of 1861 and
1864 At the same time it is reported that
some of the other county officials propose
to try the question further by making a
demand for the amount of salaries allowed
by the recent acts
OF course they have the right to try the
case over again, but it looks like wasted
time. Although the Supreme Court de-
cision did not directly rule upon the
salaries of their offices, the declaration of
the non-repeal of the old special acts is
conclusive. The Supreme Court cannot
without stultifying itself come to any
other decision than that already an
nounced.
The only relief for the county officials
if their salaries fixed by the old special
acts are inadequate, is by general legisla-
ton. The salaries are undoubtedly slender
compensation for transacting the business
of county of this size. The dilect way
to remedy the matter is to seek legislation
which shall allow fair compensation, but
not of the extremely profuse character
which was sought to be collected with the
present recoiling result.

A MUCH POSTPONED MEASURE.

The usual course of legislation is strik-
ingly and favorably illustrated by the
statement that the Terry national bank
ruptcy bill has been reported to the House
by the Judiciary Committee and has been
put on the calendar. At this late day in
the session the chances are decidedly
against its passage, and the probability is
that it will meet its usual fate of going
over to another session.
This bill has now been pending in sew
eral Congresses 1t is almost unanimously
indorsed by business interests and its pas
sage is greatly needed. But it is not a
party measure, and therefore no majority
has ever been interested in urging it to
passage. On the other hand 1t offers no
gain to any special private interest and
furnishes no money for pushing it by
means of lobby. The consequence is
that while there has never been any
serious opposition to it, and while it has
been again and again favorably passed
upon by committees, it has dragged along
from session to session, meeting the in
variable fate of being postponed for party
measures and private bills.
1t would be an agreeable and commend
able variation if the House should break
this record by fixing day for the con-
sideration of the bill and passing 1T. But
that would involve too radical departure
from the precedents of latter-day politics
to permit any tangible expectations that it
will be done.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTSBURG. SATURDAY, JuLY2 2. 1897
TWELVE PAGES
THE NEWEST SCHEME.

The newest development of the Third
party idea is report published in current
dispatches that the free silver men pro-
nose to capture the Omaha Convention
and carry enough Western and Southern
States to throw the election into the
House. THE DISPATCH has often shown
that this, if successful, would make the
election of the Democratic candidate a
certainty. But the political sensation
manufacturers propose to get over
that by having the silver Democrats in
tie House bolt the Democratic party and
vote for the silver candidate, thus electing
him.
To suppose that to be true shows a
striking ignorance alike of political con-
ditions and political character. To sup
pose that Congressman owing their places
TO party organization would bolt the party
nominee in large numbers is simply
absurd But this is not only required for
the success of the reported scheme. 1t is
necessary that a majority of these party
men should bolt party lines in a majority
OF the States of the Union. This is to be
done by body which recently has pre-
vi SILVER anu
by the members Of party whose national
convention with their counsel and coun-
tenance still more recently made an ex-
tremely conservative deliverance on the
subject of silver. If the Democratic Con-
gressmen in all the so-called silver States,
and those of Kansas, Nebraska and Min
nesota in addition, should desert their
candidate in body it would only give the
Third party candidate thirteen States. To
secure success the remaining ten States
would have to be gained from the solid
South But to suppose the Congressman
of ten out of fifteen Southern States would
desert their Democratic allegiance is
simply absurd
1t may be good scheme for some of the
Democrats in the House to encourage for
the sake of inducing the Western States to
go into the movement But it may be set
down as certainty that if the election is
thrown into the House Cleveland will be
elected Third party men who are op-
posed to Cleveland should bear that in
mind, and not be hoodwinked by any such
shallow device.

opinion the police officers can arrest such

THE pEMoCRaTIC OUTBREAK.

The Democracy of 1864, under the
leadership of Clement L. Vollandigham,
declared the war a failure and called for
the abandonment of the efforts to preserve
the Union. Vollandigham was an able
man and sincere one; but he was so
blinded by his impetuous attachment to
pro-slavery and States Rights heresies
that he would take nothing less. His
platform struck an answering chord in the
Democratic heart, with the result that the
Democratic party buried itself under a
load of obloquy from which it did not re-
cover for nearly two decades.
The Democracy have made other blum
ders since then, but none of them have
rivaled that famous declaration in magni-
tude until twenty years later, when an
other Chicago convention of Democratic
representatives declares itself in favor of
business disaster and industrial prostra-

THE SILVER SITUATION.

The stable common sense section OF the
American nation has hardly ceased con-
graduating itself on the elimination of the
silver question from the campaign ere it is
shocked by an undeniable victory for the
free silver men by the passage of Senator
Stewards bill in the Senate yesterday. VI
course the success now, as compared with
the mine-owning party's failures in the
Senate before the meeting of the conven-
tions at Minneapolis and Chicago, is due to
some extent to the absence of incentives
to hedging on the question. But
there are other causes at work as we'll
The near approach of the Peoples Party
Convention, and the amount of talk sug-
gesting Stewart as its nominee, have en-
couraged the silver men to make special
effort to attract its attention to their
power. Again, Hill naturally came out
from his seclusion and threw his influence
such as it is-into the silver scale
in order to embarrass Cleveland.
And further, although the platforms
of both conventions put the silver ques-
ton aside from the contest between the
two parties there was a most notable pre-
pondernce of Democratic Senators among
the supporters of Stewards bill, and a
still more marked minority of them among
its opponents.
This indicates that the bill may have
chance to pass the House-not on its
merits but as matter of political chi
canery-and that it may be submitted to
the President Harrison is so irretriev-
ably committed that he cannot do other
wise than veto it if it should reach him.
Herein is CLEAN of hope for the Demo-
cratic forces, in that such veto fresh in
the minds of the voters would incense the
silver element and so antagonize it as to
detract from Harrison as a protest, even
though by such action to any great degree
there would be a risk of throwing the
election into the House and so insuring
the election of man pledged as much
against free coinage as is Harrison him.
self.
The silver question is such as to be all
absorbing to the men who advocate free
coinage to an extent that they lose sight
of all other questions. The Democrats
are in such straits that many of them will
even violate their own principles-where
they really have any-if by so doing they
see a possibility of increasing their
strength in November.
As to the merits of the question itself,
the opinions of THE DISPATCH have been
so frequently set forth as hardly to need
reiteration. The only sound and just So
luton of the currency question lies in the
establishment of a fixed ratio between
gold and silver. and it is not to be found
in measure which would coin an unlim-
tied number Of silver dollars having a
bullion value thirty per cent below that of
the corresponding gold coin, and scaling
down all debts and liabilities in that pro-
nortion

WORKING THE FAIR FOR POLITICS.
Tho Novel Proposition Submitted by tn
Single Tax Club of Chicago.

The Novel Proposition Submitted by the
Single Tax Club of Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 1.-The Single Tax Club, of
this city, has decided to ask the Worlds
Fair officials for the adoption of a system by
which it is believed the American people
can best be given practical illustration of
the workings of the tariff. To this end the
following letter will be sent to Director
General R. Davis:
The Chicago Single Tax Club respectfully
petitions and requests that on foreign ex-
hibits of dutiable goods at the Worlds Fair
the selling price in the country from which
the goods are exported. the transporta-
tion charges from point of origin to Chicago
and the selling price in Chicago be stated
separately, so that visitors may be enlight-
ened in reference to the incidents of our
present system of tariff taxation and find
out who pays the duty. We conceive that
neither political party can consistently be
opposed to this, as the framer Of the exist
ing tariff conf1dentially asserts as the faith
of his party that the foreign exporter pays
the tax, and the opposing party asserts
with equal confidence that the American
consumer pays the tax. 1t is respectfully
submitted that the Exposition can confer
no more important service to the American
people than to aid in the solution of this
vexed and most important question.

ton. Under the leadership OF Waiter
son-as sincere, as impetuous and
as deficient in judgment on the
tariff question as Vollandigham was
on the war issues-the convention rejected
profession of tariff reform with cure
against injuring business and industry:
A proposition to regard the interests OF
labor and capital was Overwhelmingly
repudiated, on the ground that it might
as well have been written by Blaine and
Mckinley" Nothing less than bankrupt
industries and idle workmen can appease
the Democratic hunger for tariff reform.
No less significance can be given to that
impetuous rejection of the majority tariff
plank in the convention and the enthus-
iastic declaration that the protective
tariff. like, the war for the Union, Is
Unconstitutional"
This manifestation of the Democratic
spirit is the most significant of its class
since the famous deliverance of 1864. 1t
will open peoples eyes to what the Dem
ocratic sentiment really is, and will rele-
gate the party to the same position 1t
occupied from 1864 to 1884

To the Editor of The Dispatch,
I think it would be good thing, and to
the interest Of a large class of people, both
rich and poor, for the city to employ a corps
of trained nurses to be sent wherever their
services may be needed in cases of malfg-
nant diseases, which deter neighbors from
rendering assistance through fear of con-
tracting the malady.
A case illustrating this necessity occurred
on Mt. Washington last week. One OF
family or four children died of black diph-
liberia and the rest were down with the
same disease. Nefghbors were afraid to go
to the house. and the family had to face the
terrible affiict1on the best it could. Help
was necessary, but there was none. In this
instance q trained nurse would have been
invaluable. The expense to the city would
be light compared with the benefits to many
unfortunate families directly and to the en-
tire community Indirectly. Many lives
might be saved in this way.

NOT MUGwUMP FALsEHOODs.

A remark attributed to Judge Gresham
in recent interview, with regard to the
use of money in elections, moves a party
organ to remark that 'if the evil had at
tanned anything like the dimensions which
he thinks it has, the conclusion which he
draws would be proper enough" But
the commentator goes on to assert that
this idea is entirely due to 'Mugwump
falsehoods."
1t is to be hoped at the representa-
ton of our organic cotemporary as to the
limited extent of the evil is correct. But
one thing is certain, the general impress
sion to the contrary has not been pro-
duced by assertions of the Independent
element commonly called Mugwumps.
Statements as to the necessity and i'm
portance of immense campaign funds
have come from the most active partisans
without even a taint of independence.
Assertions that heavy contributions from
the factor needed to carry close States.
and that the States were carried that way.
come from official managers of party
organization. The men who pro-
duced that famous remark about carrying
Indiana by the use of "soap," or "frying
the fat" out of the protected manufactur-
ers, were not tainted with Mugwumpery.
Nor, when Col. Elliott F. Shepard, in
exemplifcation of the fact that "children
and fools speak the TRUTH" asserted that
an immense sum was. paid out before the
election of. 1884 to purchase votes in New
York, but that the goods were not deliv-
cred, no party organ rose to accuse the
ultra-pious Colonel of circulating "Mug-
wump falsehoods.
We think the importance of money in
elections has been very much exaggerated.
But the people whose representations have
proddced the exaggerated impression
are the professional politicians; and their
