Washington dispatches state that
the Democratic Senators have deter
mined to support the Mcpherson reso,
luton to stop the further purchase Of
silver under the Sherman law. They
with their late national platform. New
York business circles" are strongly
urging repeal and are greatly aeItat,
ed on account of a rumor that certain
Republican Senators may not be will
ing to vote at present for repeal. The
immediate effect of repeal would he to
further depress the price of silver, and
to stop The monthly increase Of cur
rency which now&rcs,,ts from the is
sue Of coin notes for the purchase of
silver bullion. The political consc-
quenre. however, aic likely to be far
reaching, saws the Farmers T,ii,uae.
1t will precipitate a political agitation
which will shake both the outgoing
and the incoming administrations into
fragments. If the American people
have made up their minds in favor of
any one thing it is the free coinage Of
silver and an increase o! our circulat
ing medium. The conflict between the
producers and the money lords is IRE
prcssible. and should the act contem-
llated he passed the excitement will
soon reach n white heat The present
law should only he repealed to give
place to free coinage. If the pluto
Gratis of this country dare to trit!, with
a condition Of public sentiment which
has already reached the limit Of .clera-
tion, they will soon come to know the
full weight of popular Indignation.
Let these purse proud gentry rcyel in
tLeir security. The day OF Iettibntion
is near when the people will Smlte
them and turn their Loasted victory
into overwhelming and isncminious
defeat.

Let us apply a little horse sense" to
this railroad question. 1t is just the
same as they used to 90 with planked
and eraveled roads. Some corpora
tions would secure charter to build a
road and everybody who travelled the
road would have to pay toll. Thanks
to the rrostess of public opinion, such
thing is impossible to-day and people
own their own highways.
Let us go on step further; Rail
roads have taken the place Of plank
roads and the people are paying toll.
They are public highways just the
same as the plank roads used to be,
and fully as essential to modern travel
as the old stage route on the plank
roads. They have the right of public
domain. which in many instances has
amounted to coEtiseation. The ques
ton arises, what shall we do with them :?
The Only solution is: Make them pub
lie highways The Sentry.

GLAD TONES LIFE.

The silly s,ory that has circulated all
over the world about the attempt to take
the life of Mr.. Gladstone seems to meet at
the bands OF the authorities that degree OF
insign if,cance that 1t deserves.
In auy country where there is opposi-
tion to some great measure there is more
or less grumbling, but II statesmen have
lived safely through periods where excite
ment ran far higher than 1t does In Eng.
land at present 1t is certainly true that
Mr.. Gladstone will pass unharmed and
unscathed through the present ordeal.
We wish him long life and success in
the noble undertaking he is so energet-
ically pushing and 30 gsllantly fighting
to a auccessiul end.
But II the story OF the attempted shoot
ing was true 1t would have been the re-
suit OF the incorporate addresses on the
Home Rule question made to the preju.
diced and ignorant by such men as Bal
four. Thare has been deliberate attempt
on the part Of the Conservatives to inoite
rebellion in Northern Ireland, and tc
scatter throughout the United Kingdom
the seeds OF a religious uprising. Tht
natural effect Is to craze weak minds ant
to urge ruffians to deeds OF violence.
The leaders In this insurrectionary
movement do not believe in their own
teachings. They know that the evils they
predict from the success of Home Rule
are imaginary. They preach bloodshed
for the sake OF political power. They
want to get back the offices, and they
would sacrifice human life, 80 long as It 1,
not their own, to regain control Of tn,
Government.

THE WEEKS EVENTS.

The methods by which the Republican
leaders are endeavoring to push through
legislation In the General Assembly, al
though not very new, are not very credit
able to those engaged In them. When
legislative body has become so Indifferent
to the performance OF those duties 1t was
established to carry out, its most certain
ly has lost its usefulness when the doors
have to be locked to keep a
sufficient member of dummies for
the purpose OF doing business.
What can the people OF the State think OF
party that cannot muster sufficient
number OF its own members to have a
quorum In the House7 The longer the
present Generally Assembly exists the
more disgusted people are with it. II
hasn't done a single thing that is suffi-
cient apology for its existing. And
then the measures that the gag laws were
put into operation Thursday to carry
through! Utterly useless and worthless,
passed only to obtain partisan advantage
and At only to be cast into the wide waste
paper basket of the world. And yet these
people who push through such false and
questionable legislation are considered
the patriots OF Rhode Islandl Under such
leadership the Republican party Is on tn,
highway to damnstion. It holds itsel
out a. the party Of good intentions, but th'
regions OF sheol are paved with such stun
Sam johnson once said that patriotism Il
the last resort Of a scoundrel and W,
think he was quite right when we read o.
the doinss Of some OF our Rhode Island
patroits.
