Gle OF the 13 inst. on ''The True Sit
uation, the Washington Post of the
following date publishes another ed
itorial from which the following is
extracted:
Yesterday morning the Past ut
tered note of warning to the
country. 1t told the truth at time
when the truth was scarce and badly
needed. There has been nonsence
and romance enough. Great metro
politian journals have been mislead-
ing their headers through the me-
dunn of alleged polls of Congress.
They had sent over to Washington
talented young gentlemen who asked
Mr.. Henderson what State he came
from and importuned Mr.. German
for some insight of his party affili-
ations. They derived large funds
of wisdom from two or three new
Washington correspondents, who
as in the case of the New York
Herald-critised the Vice President
for appointing Mr.. Voorhees, to the
craftsmanship of the finance cons
mittee. And then they gathered
their mighty intellects together and
assured mankind that the Sherman
act would be promptly and uncondi-
tionally repealed.
st seemed high time that some
one with an intelligent comprehen-
sion of the facts of the case should
tell the simple truth, and than func
ton the Post discharged. 1t would |
be well to have pillory for news
papers that recklessly mislead the
public, and doubtless, in some mid
way plaisance of the future, there
will be booth in which the talant-
ed newsgatherers and poll takers of
| asst week can be exhibited to gap
ing world. For the present, how
ever, it seems to be of the first i'm
portance to clear away the rubbish
in which mems minds have been EN-
veloped to convince them that
neither Mr.. Clsveland's supposed di-
vinity nor the impudent fabrications
of the New York newspapers in
questions can be relied upon to work
a miracle in this year of our Lord.
'NWhat is to be donel First of all,
we say, let the anti-silver newspapers
discard there vicious trade in fiction,
and then let anti-silver men of all
sorts and conditions imbibe a more
considerate and becoming
spirit. The silver men are not fools
and traitors and conspirators. They
do not belong to an inferior order of
virtue and intelligence. They are
not here to be disciplined by con-
,eited doctrines and snubbed by (
iabby mugwumps. They are en-
titled their opinions They repre-
sent constituents who honor and res
psct them. They are American citI-
zens, devoted to the nations welfare
md they must be met as such by ,
hose who propose to help or be
helped by them in solving the prob
lem of the day.
1.-The Sherman act will not be un-
,onditionally repealed by the Fifty
bird congress. Even Mr.. Cleveland
lad remained here to encourage the
veil disposed, strengthen the hest
ating and to inform the ignorant, he
ould not of prevailed against the :
deliberate resolve of men who believe
hey are right, who know they are
incere and who have the heart to
tand by their convictions, let the ]
ost be whatit may. If unconditional
epeal be Mr.. Cleveland's ultimatum
nd if the anti-silver men be reso-
utely welded to his will, then CON
,ress might as well adjourn tomorrow
md leave the country to it's fate.
