of others? But did you ever see an Ameri-
can who was worried about his own
patriotism? Did you ever see one who
felt it necessary to march around the Lib

ever see one who thought he needed to
raise flag every morning. with appropri-
ate ceremonies, in order to stimulate his

how strange il is that our ancestors man

not only our ancestors, but people of all

coinage who does not realize that silver is
reduced in price because the government
makes it a commodity. No gold mono
metallist but realizes il. That is why, at
the international monetary conference,
the most pronounced gold standard men
advocated that other countries should
adopt the same policy. The claim that it
was done to help the silver producers is q
false pretense.
IL helps nobody. II the law were re-
pealed silver would certainly advance in
price. Whatever policy the country might
adopt afterward, this action would be a
guarantee that the warehouse policy had
been abandoned. 1t would be an assur-
ance that hereafter the government OF the
United States did not propose to treat
silver as a nero commodity which was to
be used as collateral security for its notes.
Moreover, it would be a notification to
the world that hereafter the currency OF
the country was to be controlled by the
government and not by the bankers. No
better assurance of the stability of the cur
rency than that could be given. The
whole cause of the recent difficulty was
that the bankers could. by depositing a
commodity and drawing out money, when
the treasury funds had been reduced by
extravaganza and Encouragement. force
a situation in which they imagined they
could force the issuing of bonds. The
bankers of Wall-st. must be reduced to the
ranks. They must be made to under
stand that the powers conferred on them
by republican administration will not be
tolerated any longer. The government
must be left unhampered in maintaining
the parity of gold and silver, aud then it can
perform that duty. The road to a stable
currency on the old basis lies through the
repeal of the Sherman law.

PANIC IN A CHURCH
BY the Explosion of Powder Used for
the COlored Lights.

WmKEsBARRE, Pa, April 2S.-At an en-
tertainment of the methodist episcopal
church at FairvieT a terrible panic was
caused by a mixture OF powder used to
produce colored lights in the tableaux be-
coming ignited and exploding. When
the explosion occurred the church was
packed with people. Men. women and
children made q mad rush for the doors
and trampled on one another in their wild
rush to escape. No one was killed out
right, but some are so seriously injured
that their deaths are probable. Mrs.
George Edwards was holding a baby in
her arms, which was torn from her and
stepped on aud it's skull fractured. Many
were taken out unconscious.
The following are the injured:

endeavor to have the Indiana soldiers
assemble by regiments "ior the grand
march on Thursday. Sept I, with the
militia and Mexican soldiers in position as
already assigned them" This might posi-
bly, work, but we are inclined to be-
lieve it will not. As we understand the
situation the q. A. r. objects because the
Mexican war is recognized on the monu-
ment. live are rightly informed as to
the naughty and war-like spirit of the
Mexican veterans, they will have nothing
to do with the @. A. r. on this or any
other occasion.
What, then is to be done? The only
soldiers that can be relied on to take part
in the ceremonies are the state militia.
These cannot escape. They can be or
dered out, and will have to attend or be
court-m artialed. l. strikes US that this
will be sufficient military force for all
practical purposes, and then there will be
more room left for the people who want
to hear the addresses and see the cere-
monies. If there is anything that makes
these public affairs unenjoyaLle, it is the
crowd that prevents one from hearing OF
seeing what goes on. And military pro-
cessions always take up more room than
anything else. On the whole we think il
would be well to induce Col. SPAHR, OF
some other prominent kicker, to get up an
excursion to Broad Ripple on Sept. and
get as many OF the q. A. r. as possible
out OF the city. This will give the people
OF Indiana, and the militia, an opportu-
nifty TO dedicate their monument in q
peaceable and comfortable style. Oh
course The SENTINEL must decline TO at.
tend the ceremonies unless the dates 179e
and 1911 are added.

1t will be seen from these figures
that the proportional gold supply in-
creased from 1910 to 1882, and that since
then there has been very small gradual
increase of silver. All the violent fluctua-
ton in the value OF silver (or gold, as you
prefer has been since 1870. when the
policy of demonetizing silver originated.
1t is evident that these fluctuations result
entirely from the decentralization, and not
from the production of the two metals,
because from 1900 to 1870, when the sup
ply fuctuated widely, the relative value
OF the metals was constant. But from
1870 to 1890. when the supply remained
practically constant, the fluctuation in
value was extreme. And, more than
this, although the proportional supply OF
silver has been less since $40 than in the
preceding seventy years, the proper
tional value has been less also, instead of
higher, as it naturally should have been.
When the Tribune discovers an impor-
tant TACT that is already generally known
il should try to learn what it means be-
fore using it.

THE worlds fair management has done
great many cheeky and outrageous
things. but it has capped the climax by
giving q monopoly of the waterfront
docksge, and therefore of the water trans
portation 80 and from Jackson park, to a
syndicate which pays q percentage OF the
profits. The lake front was granted by an
ordinance of the city OF Chicago to be
used for exposition purposes and there
certainly could be no worse use for it
than this of cutting off competition in
water transportation. They might as

cate a monopoly of the land approaches
