The silver Question.

As has been anticipated for some
days past the house has passed the
Wilson bill by decisive majority.
The country has been anxiously
expecting result of this character
but hardly with the emphasis
shown by the vote of yesterday. 1t
is a narrow escape the Nation has
made from one of the most disas-
trous panics in its history, super
duced chiefly through the coward.
ice of few depositors who insisted
on making their drafts on the
banks and in many instances Gre
ating n run. There never was any
real danger. but an alarm like this
is like a prairie fire and spreads
from door to door with the utmost
rapidity. Whether it be fact or
not the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act has been regarded as
the direct cause of the multitude of
ills which have beset the country
that its repeal had become an i'm
perative necessity. This repeal
was accomplished yesterday so far
as the house was concerned by the
bimetallists themselves largely, as
the vote shows. They have begun
to see that the purchasing clause of
the Sherman act was not the road
to their coveted monetary policy.
That confidence will be restored
and the country soon resume its
broad conditions of prosperity goes
without saying, for the Nation has
only been waiting on this consum-
mation.-Iouston Post, August 30.

a Question of Morals.

Returning from Washington the
other day, Mr.. Henry Wattcrson
was met by Richmond man who
asked for the news at the National
capital, whereupon the brilliant
Kentuckian is reported to have
said; "There are only two men in
Washington who know all about
the silver question. One is Senator
Stewartaof Nevada, who owns all
the silver, and the other is Senator
Daniel of Virginia, who hasn't got
a cent"
The Savannah News. comment
ing on this remark, says that while
Mr.. Watterson intended to be witty
and was successful, does not his
answer contain good deal OF truth?
Are Ii "a great many of those who
are the :. st earnest in their de
mand Tor ; free coinage Of silver
at a ratio that would not make a
silver dollar equal in intrinsic wal-
ne to gold dollar, composed of
those who own the silver mines and
those who have no money, but hope
that the free coinage of silver would
in some way better their financial
condition? And isn't there a moral
question involved in this effort to
force the people to take short
weight silver dollars which some of,
the silver senator's have overlooked?
Does it seem right, for instance.
that Senator Stewart, who is re-
ported to be largely interested in
silver mines, should use his in-
.luence and vote, as a senator, to
oolster up silver at the expense of
,he people? Senator Stewart was
not in favor of the free coinage of
silver in 1873, when silver was de-
nonetized. The statement has
'een published, and their is no
eason to doubt its truth, that SEN
tor Stewart, who was u member of
congress in 1873 voted for a. bill
lemonetizing silver. 1t was not
until the price Of silver began to
ecline, owing to over-production,
hat he and other silver mine own
RS began to clamor for the free
oinage of silver.
Being largely interested in silver
low can he, as a senator, legislate
or the best interests of the peoplei

lace his own interests ahead o.

The handsOmest women in tho world are
the people of the Danube valley. They are
the descendants Of the ancient Scythians,
who were crossed by an Asiatic race, which
has been pretty clearly identified with the
Mongolians. IL is not easy 10 see from
which of these sources the bellies Of Pesth
and Bucharest could have derived their
beauty, and the student is driven TO the
conclusion that naturally homely rice
became handsome under the stimulating
effect of congenial climate.
Again. the old Romans, including under
that head the Italians from the Alps 60
Calabria, were tall, stalwart, muscular,
athletic race; but The ltalians of today are
short, slight and NOT remarkable for
strength. Arc we to infer that an altcrna-
tion Of ages of luxury with ages Of misery
and starvation gradually detcriorated the
national type?
Where the conditions remain unchanged
the human type remains the same. Tho
figures on Egyptian monuments drawn
5000 years ago might be taken for por-
traits of the fellahs of today But no one
would ever suspect the peasantry Of the
