IHE LICENSES.

There wsr-weeping an gnashing OF teet h
among some OF the retail liquor dealers
to day hen they found that their morn

tice that their licenses had been granted.
The action OF the Board Of License Com
missioners is undoubtedly founded on
good reason and is not to be questioned.
At last there is a vigorous and rigid at

The members OF the Board Of Canvassers
have again shown their partislity on a
plain question OF facts. On April 1st a,
the canvass at the State election the names
OF number of voters were stricken from
the lis at the dictum Of the United States
Supervisors because they were not assessed
according to the tax book" for Si34.
Among those stricken on on that account
was the name OF Councilman Hugh ].
Clark OF the Fifth Ward. Last Saturday
evening the Board refused to strike OF the
names OF two persons who were taxed for

Under the stimulus OF this rivalry, the
project began to assume greater and more
magnificent proportions, and when the
question came mp for decision in congress,
II was found best to provide for a great
International universal exposition. to be
held during tle summer OF 1893 the ami
yersary Of the date OF the discovery of
America, Oct. l2, 1892, to be celebrated by
appropriate ceremonies.
The act Of congress, which definitely So
lected Chicago as the city In which the
exposition should be held, and which
fixed the dates OF the celebration to be
held In 1892, and OF the formal opening and
closing OF the exposition In 1893, was sp-
proved by the President of the United
States April Is, 1890. The act provides
that:
Action of Congress.
Whereas, II Is fit and Appropriate that the

be commemorated by an exhibition OF the re-
sources OF the United States of America, their
development, and OF the progress OF civillza-
tion In the New World; and
Whereas Such an exhibition should be Of q
national and International character, so that
not only the people OF our Union and this con-

SIGNIFICANT SPECTACLE.

Nothing IN the history OF this country
nothing in the history OF any other
cou ntry-is there TO be compared to the
remarka ble, unique and striking spects
cles mat have taken place In New York
during I he last few days. The parade OF
war vessels gai hered there from all the
great naval powers Of the world was In
itself an event OF unusual moment and
brings ns lesson to every thought!ul and
observing mipd-a lesson full OF instruct
war as a tribute 10 the inventive genius
OF man, the progress he has made during
four hundred years, the revolution that
has been made In naval architecture since
Coiumbus in his argosies ventured out
with bis haroy companions to seek the
unknown world across the seas, or
whether we look at 1t as a triumph OF
government emblemstical of the good
feeling that exists for US all the world
over from the government from which

on this continent that the strong arm OF
this country is ever ready to shield. The
picture OF the mind Is elevsting and in.
spring whichever way we look at 1t for
'Peace hath he' victories
No less renouned than war;"
Where else has such a parade occurred
as that in New York streets Fridsyf It
was not parade OF our own marines that
made the event unique. 1t was the
marching thousands from the foreign
war-shIps that gave the distinctive mark
to the spectacle. 1t is eighty years and
more since armed British soldiers have
marched In New York town and their re-
ception Friday was In marked contrast
with that OF those early and almost for.

1t was indeed a red.letter day In the
history Of the country-a day never to be
forgotten, q dav of pleasure, a day OF good
feeling everywhere. II too has It's lesson
for the mind and heart-a lesson that
could be taught nowhere else. Not alone
is 1t the lesson OF tranquility and good
will, It is the lesson OF ability to have the
representation OF our foreign friends Join
with rs in a land parade. Such kindly
sentiments as are therein manifested we
trust may ever be extended towards us
and wherever another such gathering
occurs II may be even a grander spectacle
than that which now is but an accom-
plished fact. Those who added so much
to it's success by their presence can lay II

TO Cheaper silver Values.

Representative Loud Of this
state has succeeded in getting
through the House a resolution
calling upon the Secretary OF the
Treasury for information as to his
reason for not carrying out the
silver purchase law, The matter
is certainly a proper subject for
inquiry. During the past several
months the silver purchases have
averaged about 1000, 900 ounces
less per month than the 4,500, 900
required to be purchased by the
Sherman law.
The reason gwen by the Secre-
tary and the mint authorities for
failure to comply with the law has
teen that the price of silver is fixed
in London and that various offers
of silver TO the mint haye been out
of conformity to its value thus
fixed. But this is believed by
friends of silver to be only, a pre-
text, and the receut practices have
been simply part of the policy of
the administration to ignore silver
and depress silver values. An in
stance of the methods of the au--
thorities is cited by a local paper:
"a large dealer in the precious
metals offered several thousand
ounces Of silver to the. mint for
0.7630. The London quotation
that morning, or its equivalent was
$0.7735. The silver was offered at
the mint for ten mills less then this
equivalent, and get the authorities
refused to accept it at this figure.
They made an alternative offer of
$O.75. This, of course. was re-
fused, and the silver was sold in
open market for SOTO. A state
ment of these facts was forwarded
to Senator Perkins At Washington.
He Immediately sent the letter to
Acting Director of the Mint Pres
ton The reply Of The official con-
tanned resume of the transaction
and admitted the truth of all the
statements pertaining to it. Dir
ector Preston concludes his letter
by the statement that the depart
ment reserves to itself perfect free
dom of action in the purchase of
silver and the right to fix its price
as it sees fit.
Ii the latter statement credited
to. the director is correct, it dis
closes an astonishing conception of
his duty under the law. L is not
the office of the mint to bear silver
and "6x the price as it sees fit. !"
It is ascertain the normal market
value and pay it. The public have
a right to expect that the mint will
do what it reasonably and legally
can to sustain the value of one of
its money metals Mining and
