that politics had nothing to do with the re-

last week. Perhaps not but the man out
OF a job had a good deal to do with it.

Maine, quoted as a timely precedent the
ruling Of Mr. Blaine when Speaker of the

he could not recognize dilatory motion.

make rules, and if the Vice President or the
President of the Senate could rise to such

SURRENDER. NOT COMPROMISE.

Washington dispatches indicate that the
long-continued and disgraceful deadlock in
the Senate is likely TO be ended by a So
called compromise on the silver question.
The main features OF the compromise. as
practically agreed upon by those who are
working on the scheme. are, first. the Sher-
man law to continue I'm force till July !.
1895; second the retirement OF all treasury
notes below 50: third. the coinage of the
100000 of silver seigniorage now in the
treasury; fourth, the purchase of 100000
ounces of silver per month to be mandatory
as long as the Sherman law continues in
force.
This would be better termed surrender
than a compromise. First. it is a distinct
surrender of the principle of majority rule
A majority OF Senator's are in favor Of
the repeal OF the silver-purchase clause of
the Sherman law at this time but they are
not permitted TO have their way. They pro-
fess to believe in the right Of the majority

lice is not cut down without interfering
with their efficiency. The appropriations for
the one for the present year are nearly a

eighth larger than the expenditures OF the

to rule, yet they allow the minority to make
use of certain musty rules and traditions of
the Senate to tie the hands OF the majority.
Within the limits Of parliamentary action
there is nothing the majority in the Senate
could not do. They could abolish all OBJ
structive rules and substitute new ones.
They could pass a resolution censuring the
presiding officer for permitting the deadlock
to continue, and virtually instructing him
10 put the question on repeal. In short. the
majority could have its way If it wished to.
Under these circumstances, consent TO
compromise is surrender Of the principle
of majority rule.
Secc nd, it will be a surrender of the prin-
ciple for which the repeal Senator's have
been contending. Their position has been,
and it is sustained by the best financial in
teliigence OF the country. that the compul-
sorry purchase by the government of $780,
000 ounces of silver per month has been pro-
ductive only of evil. and that it's continu-
ance would be fraught with great danger.
the finances Of the country. If this is the
correct view those who hold it cannot con-
sistently agree to anything but uncondi-
tional repeal. If the operation Of the Sher-
man law is as vicious and dangerous as
they believe, and as the best financial in
telligence of the country believes, they
ought to insist on it's immediate repeal. Yet
1t Is proposed to leave the law undisturbed
and in full force and effect for nearly two
years longer. This, repeat, would not
be compromise but surrender.
The agreement to coin the 100000 OF
silver seigniorage now on hand the agree
rnent to retire all treasury notes below s.
and the agreement to make the monthly
purchase of 100000 ounces of silver manda-
tory for nearly two years longer all con-
cessions to the silver men-concesslons by
a majority to a minority. 1t is surrender
all along the line.
The only point gained by the friends Of
sound currency Is the fixing Of definite
time for the repeal of the silver-purchase
clause Of the Sherman act. This is q very
small equivalent for the important points
gained by the silverites. 1t is humiliating
position for majority to be placed In when
they are forced to agree that vicious law
shall remain in force two years If the mi
nority will then consent to it's repeal. But
| it is not certain that it will be repealed
even them The silverites insisted on the
date Of repeal being placed beyond the next
congressional election, in November, 1894.
| They may be stronger In the next Congress
| than they are in this. In that case can any
person doubt that they would fight for the
continuance of the Sherman act unless
they could get even better terms for silver?
The proposed compromise settles nothing.

legislation It Is cowardly, evasive and
| inconclusive. If passed it would leave the
