If the tariff is one of the causes of
the present business depression, why
does England suffer jnst as much as
the United States? According TO the
Republican theory, English trade
should be climbing a tidal wave of
prosperity under the influence OF the
prospective repeal OF the Mckinley
act. But England is not booming worth
cent. The financial weakness and in
dustrial timorousness which prevail
here are almost paralielled over there.
This would be embarrassing for the
McKin4eYjtes if they ever worried
about facts, or allowed consistency to
curb their campaign inaginatiuns.
In the midst of a good deal of crazy
talk about Mr.. Cleveland and the
Eastern bankers, Senator Teller
showed some strong common sense
regarding the. outlook for Colorado
and the other silver States. In an
interview reported yesterday by the
United Press, he said
The condition of affairs in Colorado is bad
enough, but ii might be worse. We might be
without other resources than silver mining. but
, we are far from that. No State in the Union
has more varied resources than Colorado, and
as silver mining, we would have no fear for the

Judge Lippincott and the Grand
Jury.

Jury.
Judge Lippineott did just what the
people of New Jersey expected of him,
yesterday. Confronted by a great
public crime, which could not be
reached by the ordinary machinery
of the law, he denounced it to that
higher bar of public opinion, which
is really the highest tribunal Of re-
publics.
To men In public life, as some of the
present Grand Jurors are, indeed to
IN man of honesty and good repute,
no more uncomfortable punishment
could be addressed than that bitter
condemnation for treason and perjury
which was implied in every word
Jddge Lippincett uttered. The Court,
of course, resorted to no flights of
rhetorical censure The language
used was calm, dignifed, judicial, but
those cold. clear sentences, falling in
the hnshed air of the court room with
all the irresistible weight of upright
intent and honest conviction must
have crushed the hearts of the miser-
able men to whom they were address
ed and whose consciences must have
reechoed them with maddening inten-
sity.
The Grand Jury system is n of
the main pillars of our national sys-
ten. When it becomes corrupt, life
and property no longer have any pro-
lection: liberty is in danger, and the
institutions of popular government
become a hollow mockery. After all,
one-half of all the functions OF govern
ment resolve themselves ultimately
into the administration of the criminal
law. The very handspring of that
law, as our institutions are planned,
is the Grand Inquest. and when cor
ruption invaeles the operations of that
body, 1t becomes the blacklist form of
treason.
In his address to the Grand Jurors
yesterday, Judge Lippincott has APP
parently left them no loophole of es-
cape. He hal defined their duty, he
has wrecked all the sophistries by
which they tried to evade it. He has
brought them face to face with the
public on the bare, naked issue of
whether they will perform the func-
tions for which they were impanelled
under oath, or, ignoring the plainest
of evidence. will resolve to go on
record as p~erjurers and protectors of
crime, and wilful outragers of all pub
lie right and deceney.

spondent of the Times says: Currency
matters are slowly but surely settling
down and confidence is returning. 1t is
daily becoming more evident that the sill
yer shipped by banks in June was intended
to paw for the heavy speculative purchases
of rupee paper for London. Had the
banks financed the purchases with council
drafts. tnstead of silver, the paper never
would have left the country, as the price
of drafts would have made operations i'm
practicable.
The superfuous silver retarded the
establishment of a gold standard for
weeks, while the action of the India Office
in letting council bills go for less than six
teen pence depressed the rrice Of paper in
England and caused reflux to India
There is gro satisfaction over the
course adopted by the Secretary of State
for India in not selling under the last rate

HE WILL DIE.
An Ex-Convict Tells How He Was
Stabbed.


SACRAMENTO. Aug 6. = Joseph Will
liams, an ex-convict, who was stabbed
during drunken row with some com pan
ions several nights ago. is In a critical
condition at the County Hos pital, and it is
thought he will die. The knife severed
his intestines and he is growing weaker
every hour.
Believing that he was a doomed man.
Williams sent word to the police station
last night that he was willing to tell all he
knew about the affray. On the night of
the cutting and since then he refused stub
bornly to give the officers anv information
whatever. Chief of Police Rodgers, City
Attorney Post and Official Reporter Brier
drove out to the hospital
Williams said he did not know what the
name of his assailant was, other than that
they called him Barney. There was sew
eral of them in the party. They had been
drinking all the afternoon and continued
their sprse in the evening. All became
considerably intoxicated. Williams had
bottle of whisky and the row started
over his refusing to give Barney the bot
tie. They growed for quite while about
it and then went to settle the difficulty.
Williams says they had only walked a
short distance when a knife was thrust
into his abdomen. He declares he knows
of no reason for the cutting other than
that they were all crazed with liquor.
Williams rallied somewhat to-day, but it
is still not thought he will recover.
