The Republicans in the general as
sembly do well to consider the matter
of a more vigorous prosecution Of the
business awaiting attention.
There are number of very impor-
tant matters that ought to be reported
upon at once and some proper disposi-
tion made of them.
The air has been partially cleared of
the election fog. At least there is
nothing to be done by the legislators in
a political way at present, and there
seems to be no reason for their not get
ting at the business before the session
and disposing of it with vigor and intel
igent dispatch.
There are, per contra, several very
cogent and powerful reasons for attend
ing to the business in hand. The chief
one is that the legislators are elected
and sent up to the state house to trans
act business, and to transact it in a
business-like manner.
1t ought to be the aim and ambition
Of the leaders of both branches to clear
their dockets Of all matters possible be-
fore adjournment. In the lower house
especially there ought TO be deter
mined effort to dispatch all business
now pending, as the new house will be
Democratic and ought not to have
transferred to it anything that is of i'm
portance or that can be disposed of by
the present house.
It is good time for some energetic
legislative work.

The election of Democrat to repre-
sent one of the strongest Republican
congressional districts in Massachusetts,
yesterday, is one Of those 1amentable
facts that Republicans may regret but
cannot wonder at. 1t is the legitimate
and inevitable consequence of policy
that has prevailed in Massachusetts, to
such an extent as to seriously endanger
the supremacy of the Republican party,
while there are undoubtedly many
thousand more Republican than Demo.
cratic voters in the state.
Mr.. w. f. Barrett, the Republican
candidate for the seat in congress made
vacant by the election of III. c. Lodge
TO the senate, is man whose claims
upon the Republican party consist al
most wholly in his desire for Office, and
his ability 70 pull wires to promote
his personal advancement. He has won
a certain prominence in the party, but
neither the party nor the state has bene-
fitted thereby.
Mr.. Barrett has elevated himself, but
the pathway to his eminence is scared
by party dissensions and strewn with
the political corpses of men better able
and more willing to serve the state and
the party than he. Ho only succeeded
in becoming the candidate in this cleo
tion at loss to the party of ruptures
and the alienation of voters that may
never be repaired.
Mr.. Barrett is able, but he is alto
gether too anxious. II he were TO con-
tent himself with the energetic per-
formance of the work placed before him
and trust the voters to in due time
recognize his merit he would eventually
receive all the honor no made himself
entitled to.

A friend of Wilhelmj tells this story

In another room was piece of music that
he wanted to try, so, laying the instrument
on a chair, he went to find the compost
tion. Pretty soon he was Mortified to see
his little boy galloping down upon him
with the violin for horse. The youngster
had evidently been riding the precious in
ttrument all over the house. Wilhelmi
didn't dare raise an alarm. He didn't dare
to look anxious or wrathful. Hewas afraid
the boy would get frightened and drop the
violin. He simply began to laugh, then he
clucked to the horse, and the boy laughed
to- Now, ride him up to me- he said
softly. Steady, sir, steady therel That's
good gentle horse Don't hurry him, let
him take his time He might throw you.
Therei He is going all right now. Good
fellowl Let me try him moment At
last the boy and his horse were within
reach, and wilhelmj quietly took both in
his lap. The. lfter placing the instrument
out of the wav he turned that boy over his
knee and gave him the worst thrashing he
ever got in his life. The violin was not
hurt. Wilhelmj played on 1t in this coun-

Fruits Of Republicanism.


In the face of threatened disaster from
Democratic free trade, the country con-
tinues to reap the fruits Of patriotic meas
ures passed during the last administra-
tion. On April Is, at Philadelphia, work
was begun on two magnificent steamships
provided for in the law which also brought
the New York and Paris under the Ameri-
can flag. These vessels are designed to be
the finest craft afloat, not excepting even
the latest specimens of English shipbuild-
ing art, the Iucania and Campania This
country has time and again demonstrated
its ability to surpass the world in ship
building, and the past achievements of the
Cramps afford ample warrant that they
will make good their declaration that the
forthcoming vessels will be superb speci-
mems of marine architecture
Fhe credit for the impetus which has
been impaired to American Shipping is due
to the Republican party and a Republican
administration. Democrats have claimed
some share in the credit of the Inman reg
istry act on the ground that il was passed
by Democratic house. But IL should not
be forgoteen that 1t would have been a
dead letter had not that other great Re
publican measure, the postal subsidy act.
preceded it on the statute books. The New
York and Paris were earning large sub
ventions for their owners while under the
British flag. These had to be sacrificed in
order to obtain American registry. II the
Inman company had not been assured of
compensating payments under the Repub-
lican subsidy act the ships now building
would not have been begun and no first
class merchant steamship wo uld be flying

THE Hon. John q. Carlisle of Ken
lucky, secretary of the treasury, has
said that he would encroach upon the
gold reserve rather than issue bonds.
Acting Secretary of the Treasury Grover
Cleveland has asked the New York
bankers to consider the question Of a
bond issue rather than encroach upon
the gold reserve. These two facts en-
phasize the recent statements OF the
President regarding the harmony and
the unanimity of opinion that exist be-
tween himself and the members of his
cabinet.

CHICAGO MODEsTY.

1t appears than Chicago is too refined
to permit some drawings Of nude fig
ures, sent as part of Philadelphia
school exhibit. to hang upon the walls
of the liberal arts building at the
Worlds fair. The chief of this division
is one Selim Peabody--the Hon. Selim
II. Peabody gentleman heretofore
wholly unknown to contemporary
fame, but who has now sent his name
hurtling down the alley of immortality,
aimed at the foremost pin of glory.
Why this distinguished art critic and
judge objects to the nude in art is not
explained. 1t is enough that he does
object and that he has caused the
offending pictures to be removed from
the wall of the Liberal Arts building.
This act of the Hon. Selim HI. Pea
body must probably be welcomed
among the unique experiences that art
is subjected to in new and raw COM
munity. While Chicago reeks with
every vice that the most per-
verted imagination could possibly at
tribute to the influence of the nude
upon prurient imaginations it lacks al
most every fine instinct that is stimula-
ted and almost created by art. This
has been conseaptly apparent during
the preparations for the fair, and it only
needed the action of this man to draw
the attention of the whole country to
the iamentable fact.

pacity for driving voters into the
Democracy.



The struggle being made by the treas
ury for gold is interesting for several
reasons.
The consideration of first importance
is, of course, the necessity of getting
the gold in some way and the sustain
ing of the value of the other monies.
The next most interesting phase of
the matters is the unique efforts Of Mr..
Carlisle to get gold. His acts appear to
be simply those of an agent of the Pres
ident, and it is clear that Mr.. Cleveland
is responsible for the present fiscal fiasco
that is being played.
There is plenty Of gold in the country,
and it would flow into the treasury if
the bankers who hold it could be AS.
sured that they would not be subject to
direct loss. The government has been
offered the use of $50, 1000 by New
York banks for three months, upon con-
dition that at the end of that period it
be repaid or ten-year per cent. bonds
issued for it.
The President proposed to get $780,
600, 600 in gold and give bonds at per
cent. interest payable in twelve years,
or after one year, at the option of the
treasury. The bankers could not see
any advantage for themselves in this,
and did not decide to make such an in
vestment. Such bonds would not be
marketable. They would be valuable
merely as security for the loan made to
the government.
1t is useless to expect to get gold into
the treasury except by business meth
ods. While bankers may be patriotic
they will never be brought to such an
ideal perfection as to induce them to
give up large quantities Of gold without
adequate compensation.
There exists no necessity for the gov
ernment to assume the attitude of q
beggar. 1t is abundantly able to pay
for the use of the gold it needs, and to
pay for it at the market rate.
The absurd proposition of the admin.
istration, and the lack of knowledge OF
financial conditions and principles ex'
hibited, is not winning respect for Mr..
Cleveland. He would do well to EN-.
ploy an expert and trust to his advice.
