SAID ABOUT SILVER.

FREE silver has again been killed in the
House, and again the Republicans have the
glory OF dealing it the death-blow.-Bu6dlo
Express.
FREE silver was not only defeated in the
House of its supposed friends, but they even
refused to set apart day for passing eulo-
gies on the deceased Washington Post.
The silver bill was beaten in the House of
Representatives Yesterday Well, what Of
it? There are larger and more portentous
questions pressing to be disposed Of Let
silver slide!-Ne,O York Sun.
IT is shown that the Democrats, as a party
favor free and unlimited coinage. 1t is
likewise shown that the Republicans, as a

Inquirer.
IT was the best opportunity to put an end
for this year to all anxiety in business quar-
tiers about this dangerous measure, and the
Republican minority served the country
rather than party, as it usually does, and
rightly,-Nel0 York Tribune.
YESTERDAY the House put to deserved
death the Stewart free silver bill which the
Senate passed a week ago. Thus, for the
second time this session, that subject has
been voted down by the House. this time
decisively and inally.-Nes6 York Herald.
THE Republican minority proved itself too
patriotic to scheme for partisan advantage
at the risk of great injury to the country,
and the Republican party was once more
shown to be the mainstay of sound money
and business interests of the utmost import
ance-CeUeLdnd Leader.
Now we suppose we shall hear another howl
about Republican Senate passing free
silver bill and Democratic House giving 1t
a back-set. But they were Democrats aided
by silver State Republicans, who passed the
bill in the Senate, and they were Republi.
cans, aided by honest money Democrats who
gave the bill backset in the House-Cf,,-
cinnoti Commercial Gazette.
THE Republicans of the House of Repre-
sentatives, by the able and determined as
sistance which they yesterday rendered the
Democrats who were opposed to the Stewart
free coinage bill, accomplished the defeat of
that dangerous and pernicious measure and
thereby rendered it harmless, and atoned
for the indefensfble conduct of those Repub-
lican Senators by whose votes it passed the
Senate.-Phttddeiptid Ledger.

THE COMMITTEES IDEAS.

The Congressional Committee of investi-
CATION into the Homestead troubles goes
away with the highest compliments from
all sides for its evident disposition to get at
the facts, and to avoid the temptation
of turning this public misfortune to mar
row partisan account
From the remarks dropped it is not un-
likely that the committee will recommend
some sort of compulsory arbitration bill
though neither the leaders of labor nor
of capital seem to take much stock in that
device. Yet it must have occurred to
many people, reading the testimony given
to the committee, that it would be good
thing in differences between labor and
capital If such testimony could be had be-
fore lock-outs or strikes, in place of after,
it. The bringing out of facts and figures
as to the actual conditions involved in the
dispute would tend often to better under
standing, and remove misapprehensions
which uncorrected keep the parties farther
away from each other.
A comparison of the testimony of Burgess
McLuckie and of Chairman Frick will IL
lustrate this point Mr.. McLuckie testi-
fed with great earnestness to his belief
that the Mckinley bill was part of ga
gigantic conspiracy" against labor. He
cited in support of his position that it re-
duced the duty on billets-upon whose
price the labor scale turned-while it in
creased the duty upon other products of the
Carnegie works. Chairman Frck, on the
other hand, testified that upon none of the
products of the company did the Mckinley
bill increase the duty-that, upon all, the
duty was lowered: and that upon beams,
which Mr.. McLuckie specially cited as be-
ing increased, the reduction was greater
than upon billets
This of course, was but one of several
points of difference Yet it is quite pos
sible that there were other points of diff
ference upon which comparison of notes
by competent committee before the
strike might have led to better under
standing. The objections to compulsory
arbitration, which have been expressed
both by labor leaders and by manufact-
urers, may be valid. Still, the experience
with the Congressional Committee this
week clearly suggests that such a commit
tee, if empowered to bring disputants to-
gether in case of threatened strike or
lockout, and to sift and compare their re-
spective contentious. might often succeed
in preventing a rupture by impartially
helping each side to the actual truth of
the situation.

COMMENTATOR, NOT CRITICISM.

The practical reversal of itself by the
Supreme Court in the Gross will case is
rather a novelty in jurisprudence, particu-
larry with one decision coming SO soon
after the other. The Court seems to be
conscious of this when it says of its second
opinion that sit may subject us to some
criticism from those who do not look be-
low the surface" The case was briefly
about as this: An estate was devised Sab
solutely and in fee simple" The Court
held originally that because the testator
added that it was to be "wholly for the
use and benefit of the devisee, who was
married woman, that gave her but life
estate, and invalidated sales made by her
Of the real estate so devised
1t will be the general belief that the first
decision of the Court was solely the one
which was open to criticism. The decision
now made will undoubtedly be received
with approval not only by all the parties
in interest, but probably by the bar and
by the laity, to the latter of whom, partic-
larly, the language Of the will must have
seemed SO explicit, specific and clear in
conveying fee simple, that they could
only wonder at the tortuous refinements
Of high judicial reasoning which could
construe that ordinarily plain language
into something practically opposite.
1t is not, however, to be supposed that
even courts of last resort may not
sometimes err. When they are convinced
of error, as seems to have resulted from
the rehearing in this case, it certainly
should be cause not of criticism, but
of commendation that they then set the
matter right, even at the risk of practically
reversing their former judgment.
The titles to great deal of property
would have been injuriously affected had
the first decision of the Supreme Court
been allowed to stand. That decision was
one which not only upset such equitable
rights, but it was also contrary to the
lower court, and puzzled lawyers and lay
men. The later and different Judgment
this week rendered will meet with more
approval than criticism. 1t would be sad
indeed if, when the Court became con-
inced of its own mistake, it should not
rectify it,

event of his party's success, and the prac-
tical certainty that he will, in large
measure, be held responsible for any failure
that may occur under his leadership. He
must be man, too, of great executive
ability, and he will be all the better for the
possession Of personal magnetism. Such
men are by no means easy to find. Every
year sees an increase in the amount of
concentration necessary to succeed in the
race of business competition. And in the
same ratio men are less and less willing to
set aside their own affairs from spirit of
disinterested patriotism
On the Democratic side, where the odds
are all against victory. the shrinking is
comparatively easy to explain. But
that it should take so long to
find a leader for the forces fated for
success and pledged to the grand
principles of American Industrial inde-
pendence is astounding There is need
for strong effort from the Republican
forces this year, and men possessed of the
necessary qualifications for campaign
leadership ought to let neither seifshness
nor modesty hinder them from volunteer
ing, and still less from accepting the Office
if rendered to them.

JAPAN AT CHICAGO.

The japanese exhibit at the Worlds
Fair will be one of the most interesting
and attractive of the foreign displays. An
appropriation of $3.50, 600 from so small a
nation is well in keeping with its progress
i've action in every direction. The build
ing, which is to be a reproduction of one
of the most famous temples, and the
botanical landscape garden, each costing
100000, are to remain as gift to Chicago
with a provision for an annual grant by
the japanese Government for the proper
maintenance of the latter. Every kind of
japanese production, and all the features
of life in the Flowery Kingdom are to be
represented
The characteristics of this nation are in
striking contrast to those of the Chinese.
Their readiness to adopt Western civiliza-
ton and the ease with which their imita-
tive capacity and general adaptability
enable them to do so are simply marvel

European colleges show remarkable

love of beauty combined with devotion to
thoroughness are found throughout the

ness of their work America can learn
a great deal, and their zest to make the
most of their opportunities will be sur
prising as well as instructive to all who
have this opportunity of gauging them.
The main danger to the Japanese nation
is that it may lose some of the inclination

EXTENSION OF THE STRUGGLE.

The strain of the labor situation was still
further emphasized last night by the SYM
pathetic strike of the Amalgamated Associ-
alton men in the Carnegie Company's Pitts
burg mills. The company had signed the
scale for these mills, but the men went out
because of the action at Homestead. Thus
there is a determined fight along the
whole line between the association and
the company; and the chances of amicable
settlement Oh any basis are stage further
off than ever.
1t is needless to repeat the common
sense view Of outsiders and of the COM
munity which is indirectly affected by this
suspension of industry, that ali strikes and
lockouts are a cruel and useless waste of
money and energy, and that there is al
WAYS in such disputes point at which
perfect intelligence and the right kind of
feeling between the disputants would
compel a friendly agreement All such
wise advice becomes unfortunately a mere
platituGe in cases like the present The
association and the company have
virtually elected to measure their full
strength in antagonism, and, as things
look, nothing that might be said would
influence the contestants out of their
chosen course.
This being the plight, and every right
thinking person will regret it-all
that remains is to ask that the contest
keep strictly within the lines of the law.
However the struggle result the responsi-
hlity of keeping it strictly peaceful and
legal one rests profoundly upon the shOul-
ders of every one concerned. The ewes of
tic whole. cOuutry are at this moment fixed
viCh painful interest upon Pittsburg. The
respect ard fidelity of every citizen unto
the laws which are made for the proIec-
ton Of AL alike will be constantly and con-
fidentiy looked for, and mus be made
first anu indispensable consideration.
i IS 2 great pity that the Analgamated
AssGcia ton, which has been one of the
most intelligent and conservative of labor
bodies. and The Carnegie Company. whose
enterprise has done so much in extending
cur 'ocal industries, should get into this
conflic:. Bus since the die seems cast,
and il h.S come to a great trial of patience
and resources, the part of wisdom and of
duty is iGt all to remember that employ
ers and employed must come together
again upon some terms at the end of the
struggle; and thai while free to exercise
1helr legal rights as they please, nothing
should be said or done that will make that
coming together again more difficult or
unpleasant

SEEKING THE MAN,

Both parties are in peculiar position
this year in their long hesitancy over the
appointment of chairmen to their respec-
tive national committees. And the same
reasons in varying degrees are causing the
delay in each case. The Craftsmanship of
a national committee is no sinecure 1t is
one of the most exhausting offices in the
country both in time and labor. 1t de-
mands such man as is not easily to be
found. A man is required who is ready to
sacrifice his private interests to those
of his party. One who will labor
with no recompense further than
the qualification of his ambition in the
