to do with the present depression as the
silver crisis.-Louisville Commercial.
We presume it may be taken for
granted that the repeal of the silver
purchase law will be the first thing in
order. and trust that it will be accom-
plished very shortly after the session
opens-N. Y. Tribune.
In defending honest dollars the re-
publicans will render an incalculable
service to the nation. The republican
minority in the house and senate is the
only firm bulwark against democratic
demagogy and fanaticism.-N.Y. Press.

make quick work of the Sherman law
as soon as it can be got at, that the

will doubtless be accepted by the coun-
try as equivalent to its repeal.-St.

certainty. and this ''something' has

There will be the usual effort of
to shape legislation to suit
selfish interests; but it is devoutly to
be hoped that in the present grave
