SILVER in INDIA.

The views and purposes of the English
Government in reference to the use of sill
yer in India are defined in report of the
Herschell committee, which declares that
THE closing Of the mint against coinage of
rupees on private account is only the first
step in a process which will not be CON-

report says: "The Indian currency will

WHAT SHALL THE SUBSTITUTE
BE?

The San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce received the resolutions of the New
York Chamber urging the repeal of tire
purchasing clause of the Sherman silver
act and amended them by adding clause
favoring repeal only on condition that a
substitute providing for the continued use
of silver as money should be adopted. The
effect of the amendment is to declare for a
silver policy antagonistic to that the New
York Chamber recommends. The San
Francisco Chamber does not plant itself
upon any distinct plan for the remonetiza-
tion of silver, but inclines To the establish
ment of new ratio of 20 to 1, and the
withdrawal Of gold and paper below the
denomination of $40. In respect to the
proposed new ratio there are difficulties in
the way. 1t would undervalue silver as
compared with silver countries which
were valuing it at its commercial price.
We should be in harmony neither with
Europe nor the silver countries. In view
of the utter mpracticabiity of single
gold standard for all nations the United
States should outline silver policy upon
which silver nations can stand. Precisely
what that policy shall be cannot be deter
mined by any single nation. II the United
States leads it should be in a path that
other nations with kindred interests can
follow.

CLEVELAND AND GRESHAM.

In 1896. Judge Gresham does not improve
MS standing with the American people by
reslgning a position on the bench in
which he had done the country some SER
vice to become heir apparent of the Cleve-
land administration. There is something
suggestive Of a lack OF principle in the
Willingness of a Judge who had placed
some restraint upon the rapacity of cor
porations TO become leading Wem ber of
an administration which takes its legal
advice from the office of a corporation.
Judge Gresham's anti-corporation views
seem under this new light to have been
fashioned for an occasion. If they had
recon- amended him to Republican na-
tional convention be would doubtless have
continued to wear them, but as they did
not he seems not unwilling to wear gar
ments of a different cut. II Mr.. Cleve-
land had followed policy that was open
to him, and which be had outlined himself,
In respect to trusts and combinations of
capital to increase the price Of commodi-
ties, the presence of Judge Gresham in his
Cabinet could have been accounted for.
But as 1t Is his presence in the Cleveland
Cabinet is rebuke to his judicial record.
No American administration has been
more subservient to the money power
than that of Cleveland from 1885 TO 1889.
unless it be the few months of the pres
ent administration. A man who proposes
to abolish trusts does not take his legal ad-
vice from trust Office Ii there is any
such understanding between Cleveland
and Gresham as is reported, it is simply
sDoils arrangement. Up to the present
time Mr. Cleveland has devoted most of
MS time to the consideration of the claims
of place-holders and place-seekers. At
spare moments he has administered some
severe raps to such American projects as
the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands
and the construction OF the Nicaragua
canal.

A LONG LOOK INTO THE FUTURE

The London Spectator has given ex-
preston to some views as to the possible
result of arbitration that will cause some
talk in this country. Admitting that Eng
land and the United States are, by reason
of social characteristics, especially capable
of making an agreement to settle dis
putes by arbitration reality, the Spectator
continues:
An agreement not to fight till the question in
dispute has been referred to body exercising
the functions of court OF law Is a step in the
direction of that alliance between the United
States and England which, we trust and be.
lieve, is the destiny of the two countries. If
we begin by an acknowledgment that we are
not In the position Of foreign powels-i. g.,
liable to war at any moment-we may soon rise
to definite race alliance, and. lastly, to that
declaration OF a common citizenship which
would prevent any Englishman from being an
alien In America. or any American being an
alien In England, and would heal the breach
IN the unity OF the race caused by the folly of
George III and his ministers
There would be certain advantage in
an agreement to submit disputes to a dis
interested court, even if there was no
agreement that its decision should be final.
War entered upon after full discussion of
tie question: AT ISSUE WOulu, In most II not
all cases. be war for the maintenance
of a principle vital to the nation declaring
it. Hot blood would cool in the period
necessary for full examination of the
case. There are issues OF which no nation
would voluntarily surrender control. Such
an issue presented itself in this country in
1861. No nation but the United States
could appreciate the value of union. So
with England in the issue of Irish inde-
pendence. The proposition could only be
submitted to neutral court, with the
unders tanding that England might refuse
to abide BY it. As for the future when
the principle Of common citizenship be-
tween ENGLAND and the United States
shall prevail. this generation need not
worry over it. 1t may come, but 1t is far

would be promoted by fair dealing with
