Elk Gov. HAUsER at Helena has re-
ceived the following telegram from Sena-
tor Jones: "After careful survey Of the
situation it seems quite sure that the
Sherman law cannot be repealed with
out the substitution of something
equally favorable to our people and to
the country at large" This is now the
conviction even of the gold bugs them
selves. Senator Vest says that the ma
jority against unconditional repeal in
the senate is at least eight, and in his
speech in tine house on Friday Mr.. Bland
said: "We do not intend that any polit-
ical party shall survive that will lay a
confiscating hand upon America in the
interest of England and of Europe and
demonetize silver in this country, and,
my friends of the eastern democracy. we
bid you farewell when you do it. If you
demonetize silver the responsibility will
be yours, not ours" Politics has been
thrown to the winds and the battle is
on in earnest. Silver will win.

The appointment Of L. G. Phelps as
city treasurer is one which gives general
satisfaction because there is no question
as to his competency. as to the suffi-
cheney and validity Of his bonds, or the
safety of the city funds 1t is time for
this city to understand the Importance
of having all its officials from mayor
down to the last in the list selected
solely because of their fitness. No man
should be elected to the council who is
not a taxpayer and sufficiently intelli-
gent and trained as business man to
know something about public affairs.
The time has gone by for filling city of,
fees with political hacks, and we believe
that new era in municipal politics is
about to dawn.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
UTTER NONSENSE.
FRIDAY AUGUST Is. 1898

Possibly il the undertaking we have in
hand were the maintenance of a specific
known quantity of silver at parity with
gold, our ability to do 80 might be estl-
mated and gauged, and, perhaps, in view
Of our unparalleled growth and resour-
ces, might be favorably passed upon.
But when our avowed endeavor is to
maintain such parity in regard to an
amount Of silver increasing at the rate
of S50,OOO,0OO yearly, with no fixed ter
minatiou to such increase, it can hardly
be said that problem is presented
whose solution is free from doubt
Presidents Message.
Such an utterance in an age OF gen
eral enlightenment" as we call the pres
ent, is we'll nigh incomprehensible. 1t
means nothing, and is calculated only to
deceive the ignorant and mislead the in
quiring.
Even il 5O.OOO,OOO ounces of silver were
offered to the government and coined
each year in excess of that used in the
arts, and all the gold obtainable we're
coined with it, paper money would still
have to be issued, and the elastic cur
rency needed for the constantly increas-
ing volume OF business in this great re-
public would necessitate the constant
increase of paper money, as all the gold
and silver that could be had would not
be sufficient to keep up with the neces-
sites of the country.
1t is regretable that chief executive
of the nation should make such bull
as this. The solution Of the problem is
entirely free from doubt, for all the sill
yer could be coined and circulated as
money to help all the people and further
the general welfare.
Let Mr.. Cleveland look beyond the
narrow horizon of the east and think of
the nation as whole. Let him lose a
portion of his concern for foreign ma
tions and think for a time on what we
can do ourselves Let him remember
that We are world by ourselves and
that all the world will come to US on our
own terms if we only show the spirit to
command their respect

ANOTHER Battlefield.

The attack on Mr.. Gladstone's East
India monetary policy proves to have
had deeper significance than personal
opposition, and it seems from the follow
ing cable dispatch that we may reason
ably hope for silver even IN the camp OF
our worst enemy. In proof of this hope
see the following pertinent and pithy re-
marks in the house of commons:
Henry Chaplin asked leave to move
an adjournment of the house in order
that the changes in the Indian currency
system might be discussed He blamed
the government for persistently obstruct-
ing discussion Ct this question. lie
charged the government with virtually
mulctiug the natives IN India by lamp
ering with the currency. The closing of
the Indian mints to the free coinage of
silver had necessarily led to such a fall
in the value of that metal within a
month as the world had never before
known. There had been tremendous
wrong done tc the people of India, who
held enormous quantities of uncoined
metal. BY a single stroke the govern
ment had deprecated by - per cent the
value of the silver held by the popula
ton of India. A more flagrant act of
public plunder had never been perpe-
trated by civilized government. If
the repeal by the American congress of
the Sherman act should become newt
able it would be partly due to the error
that had been committed in India. A
further fall in. the price of silver must
follow the repeal Of the Sherman act.
Frequently during his remarks Chap
lin was Interrupted by cries of "Hearr'
Hear. Chaplin demanded to know
whether the government before taking
action in India had had any communi-
cation with the United States govern.
ment. iiarcourt. chancellor Of eXcheg-
uer. declined to enter a general argu-
ment. The course taken by the govern
mcnt. he said. was indicated by the royal
commission Of lSSS. which pointed out
the dangerous and mischicvous effect
which bimetallism would have upon
India. The government stood BY those
views
BafOur. conservative leader. said it
was something approaching lunacy for
the chancellor to get up and tell the
country that he regarded with absolute
indifference what happened to silver
Dadabhai NaOrOki, the Parsee member
who sits as liberal for Central Finsbury
protested that the natives of India al
ready felt the pinch Of the change, and
that they would soon awake through
suffering to the wrong done them.
The weekly tribune., 1893-08-18

THE Butte Miner puts it thus deli
cately: "Now that the delicacy of the
presidents mission to Buzzard's bay is
known, it is Hoped that the political
harpies will cease their vulgar criticism.
At the same time if the president cannot
change his mind on the silver question,
we trust that he will remain away from
Washington long enough to become
thoroughly acquainted with the ex.
pected visitor.
