 Pu LIC OPINION.
 If MT. Geary desires to perform a real service for the country he will make an effort to force Ah Chin out of the United States senate.-New York World, (Dem. ).
 Governor Mckinley is having a big time at the Worlds Fair. If Governor McKinley's pet doctrine is right the Worlds Fair is a crime against the United States. Louis vile Courier r-Journal, (Dem. ).
 We, for our part, cannot see how, under unrestrained competition be- tween American manufacturers and foreign manufacturers, the wages in America must not inevitably, in the course of time, be forced down to the level in foreign lands. New York Voice, (Pro.).
 Dan Voorhees, kindly comes to the reliet of the silver senators when they get out of breath by moving an executive session, thus allowing them to get their second wind and proceed with their talk against time. St. Louis Globe Democrat, (Rep.)
 The theory that the panic will come again if repeal is not at once achieved belongs to the opposition. Let the enemy have it, and make the most of it, Panics, says Governor Flower, cannot be avoided. They are certain to come every few years. The best preparations for passing comparatively unhurt through them are sound business, sound banking and sound money.-New York Morning Journal, (Ind. ).
 Any plan which provides for the continued coinage of silver without also providing for an increase of the gold proportionate to the increase in silver will not be acceptable to the American people, because it will not accomplish the object desired by the repeal of the Sherman law; it will leave the way open for renew al at any time of the disastrous dis trust from which the country is now slowly recovering. Kansas City Star, (lnd. ).
 Mr. Cleveland is the first presi- dent to send negro to represent the United states in diplomatic or consular office in "white" coun- try. There have been plenty of presidents willing to send him to Lii beria or Hayti; but it is a Demo cratic president singularly enough, who goes so far as to appoint ne- gro to one of the best consulates in one of the first European nations. This spikes the big political gun pretty effectually. ly.-Spring6eld Re publican, (Ind.).
 We are used by this time to find lively contest going on between what Senator Sherman thinks and what he wishes people to think he thinks; between what he says to his friends and what he declares in pub lie speeches and letters; between John Sherman, Esq, of Mansfield, O., and Senator John Sherman, of Washington, leader of the Republi- can party and perennial candidate for president. No man in America is more often right in his views or more often wrong in his expressions than the senator from Ohio. .-Chica- go Post, (Dem. ).
 Still, the great crime of the banks was not in contracting the currency, but in confutiug the Populist states men. The latter have always been ready to prove that the national banks derived great prof it's from their circulation; that the privilege of issuing notes was a highly remuneratiye monopoly" the bestowal of which upon them was one of the greatest crimes of government against people. The fact that the banks reduced their circulation proved that they could employ their capital more proftably than by holding government bonds and issuing notes. This destroyed the dearest grievance by which the Populists have always imagined that they were being ground down. The Populisr is patient, but he can't stard it to lose his best and most narrowing grievance. And so the worm from Kansas turned at last and impaled the national banks on the speaFpoint of his eloquence for Tot supplying the people with all the money they wanted.
