DR.. Eduard Herbst. the former Secretary
OF Justice and a politician in Austria, died
June %, in Vienna, where he was born in

Herbst was known as one of the best teach

called attention again to the situation in the
Blight Of Benin between the French settle

the favorites Of legislation are given the
power to tyrannize over the farmer. the

with third parties, namely from the time

conviction is becoming general among those

In many instances have disregarded the

things are now found. costly fences and ex-
pensive walls occupy what the official
survey designates as streets. People are
living on lots to which they do not hold the
title, the lines having been disregarded or
lost in the shuttle which has been going on
during the past twenty years. What is
now used as streets was originally the
private property of individuals, and no
transfers have taken place, whilst land

BAD POLICY.

Wouldn't it be jus5 as well if the friends
of silver were not quite so savage not
quite so unreasonable in their criticism of
those congressman who do not drop every
thing except the white metal and "camp''
with free coinage all the time! Since the
BLAND bill was temporarily side-tracked
editors and politicians with silver proclivi-
ties have felt themselves licensed to abuse,
without stint, Representatives who didn't
aid the advancement of the measure. Con-
gressmen are denounced as if they were
born and trained rogues conspiring
against mankind. They are denominated
towards" and designated "slayes to
Wall street." blowing before the gold
bugs" and are threatened and assailed as
If they were the very worst men in the
country.
There never has been day since the
issue of the first number of this paper
when The HERALD was not firm believer
IN bi- metallic currency and n outspoken
advocate of the fair treatment of silver.
We believe in silver to-day as firmly as
ever, and we believe that in time-two or
three years, perhaps-the demand of the
country for the restoration of silver to its
constitutional place in our monetary say
tenn will be such that the national law
makers will pass and the national executive
will approve the necessary bill to bring
this about. But we do not believe that all
men who oppose free coinage are
scoundrels; we do not think they are cow
ards, bribe-takers and corruptionists: nor
do we believe it helps the silver cause in
the least degree to charge some of the
ablest, most patriotic and truest men in
this country with base scoundrelism be-
cause they do not adopt the silver side of
the Tree coinage controversy.
AS to the failure of the BLAND hill IL
really cuts no figure in the financial affairs
OF the country. There is not an intelligent
person protesting any familiarity with
public questions and with the makeup of
Congress, who ever tor moment thought
free coinage law possible during the
present administration. Some believed and
still believe that a free coinage bill will
pass both houses, but everybody knows it
VIII stop there, the President, whose con-
sent is essential, being immovable in his
effect can the failure or the passage of q
bill at this particular time have upon the
country! None whatever. 1t can have no
effect except as relates to the political
parties, and it SO happens that the parties
themselves are divided within themselves
to such an extent that the question cannot
even be made partisan matter.
it strikes US that the thing for the friends
of silver to do is to keep on agitating the
question and educating the people until
Congress and President shall be elected
who win obey the popular demand and
place the two money metals on an equality;
and it also strikes US that it does n good

The true 1nwardness can not be got at
