JUST AS STATED.

The HERALD is never unwilling to
admit an error, and frankly. We did
not happen to recall at the moment the
precise membership of the unconetitu-
tional and extraiudicial to commls-
eion which took the presidency away
from Tilden and gave it to Hayes. Ad-
mitting that of the fifteen members who
composed it five were judges of the su-
preme court of the United States, what
of it? Bradley was a member of the
commission and performed the precise
role assigned to him. Judge Davis was
withdrawn from the bench, and thus
made ineligible to sit on the commission,
precisely in the way described. When
it is pointed out that the eight Repub-
licsn members of the com mission voted
to seat Hayes in defiance of the will of
the people, the ueusl Republican answer
is that the Democrats voted to seat Til
den. OF course they did, and they did
go because be was elected and ought to
have been sustained, and not because
he and they were Democrats. This is q
distinction with a difference. IL was
Tilden and not Hayes that carried
Louisiana and Florida, and most Re-
publicans now concede the fact. Ros-
coe Conkling and James G. Blaine have
bo,h publicly admitted it, not once but
often. Neither of them would ever
go near Hayes. Charles Francis
Adams pronounced the conspir-
acy an instance of fraud first
triumphant in American history" The
whole world has condemned it; and,
without animadverting personally upon
the dead ex-president, whom the HER
AID has conceded to have possessed
many excellent qualities, it is right and
expedient that the great political crime
that put Hayes in the White House
should be recalled for the warning of
present and future generations, which
it surely will be, Notwithstanding all
that our esteemed evening contemporary
may say in depreciation of such revival.
ANY one may, with great profit, reperuse
the occurrences of that day; and, forti-
flying himself with the patriotic moni-
tions that may be drawn from them, re-
solve that he will never consent to a
repetition of such betrayal of the peo-
ple's will.
The herald., 1893-01-20
SILVER IN A BAD WAY.

There is no question of the fact that
the gold bugs have won very serious vic
tories both in the United States and in
Europe, and that the very existence of
silver mining is threatened in this coun-
try, at least. A strong sentiment has
been developed for the repeal of the
Sherman bill, which will probably prove
successful. This is the triumph of the
people of fixed incomes both at home
and abroad. A compromise proposition
is to return to the coinage of 100000
month, the practice which prevailed
before the passage of the Sherman act,
but it is probable that no half way
measure will be entertained. What
would be the effect on silver OF such q
radical action? 1t could scarcely fail to
depress the price Of the white metal very
greatly. The United States having with
drawn from the market as purchaser OF
silver, the money changers of London
would appear to be certain masters OF
the situation. The question is not
whether silver would be depressed but
how much 1T would be depressed. This
action would deliver the debtor classes
of the world bound over hand and foot
to their creditors. 1t would literally be
revival of worse than feudal slavery.
Our existing silver circulation, coin and
silver notes, to be sure, would be main
tanned, as these are backed by the credit
and guarantee of the United States, but
silver bullion would be made to play q
game of shuttle-cock and battledore
and there is no telling to how low a
point it might be forced. That there
would be reaction in time is un-
doubted, but much mischief will have
been done before even an international
agreement could repair the disaster.
This is dismal forecaste but it seems
to be true one.
The herald., 1893-01-20

The legislature shows some disposi-
ton to take hold of the several PROPOSE
tions to amend the Australian ballot.
Provision ought to be made for counting
the ballots every hour; and, in the case
of San Francisco, the appalling expense
ought to be abridged. There is some
thing inexpressibly ridiculous in the
amount the last election was made to
cost the people of San Francisco, and as
for the time consumed in counting the
ballots it was something absolutely
without precedent. About everybody
except the Doodle politicians, however,
has about satisfed himself that the law
as whole is good one.

pension attorney will be given the go-by
under the new regime. The policy OF
common honesty will lift much of the
burden from the shoulders of the peo-
pie. A rigid scrutiny Of the pension rolls

have run up to $500, 900, 600 a year. The
people confidently expect to see the list
reduced to 100000, 900 yearly, and that
simply by looping off the fraudulent
portion Of the claims.
The herald., 1893-01-20

1t is quite apparent that the Repub-
llcan man and brother will leave moth
Ing undone to embarrass Mr.. Cleveland's
administration. The treasury, which
the Harrison crowd found with sur
plus OF over one hundred millions OF dol
lars, has been completely wrecked. The
utmost ingenuity Of Charley Foster is
being employed to prevent the confess
slon OF deficit before Harrison leaves
the White House. Meanwhile, every
effort is being made to accumulate diff
hcultles for the new administration.

ensuing twelve months-or rather for

cost OF the enormous German army, in
