AN ALARM1sT REPORTS.

New York.-A morning paper will say
The United States treasury is practically
empty of gold. The banks have been
obliged to come to the relief of the gov
ernment.
This is the serious question that con.
fronts the secretary of the treasury and
the financiers of the country. The drain
of American coin to Europe has at last
exhausted the resources of the govern.
meDt, and the private stores in the vaults
of the banks have been drawn upon to
tide over the emergency.

Treasury Gold.

WAsHrNaron, Feb. tO.-At the preVsnt

gold and arrangements have been effected
by which $S,OOO,0O0 legal tenders on hand
can be secured. Some $8,0O0,OoO more
legal tender will be available for this pur-
pose within the next few days. In the
opinion of the treasury officials, even if

That Roanoke Affair.

The tragedy at ROanake, Va, Wednes-
day night is deplorable from every point
of view. The lives of nine men were sacri-
feed and many others were seriously
wounded, all on account of a worthless
negro who had committed an outrageous
crime, and whom mob determined to
lynch in violation of law.
Did the authorities do right in using
force to uphold the lave They unques-
tionably did. The very men who deter
mined to lynch the negro and
finally succeeded in their pur-
pose, helped to make the law
and to elect the men whose duty it is to
enforce it. They knew the risk they in
CURED when they decided to take the
criminal out of the hands of the authori-
ties and lynch him. They are indignant
now, because they were resisted with
such fatal results, but when the excite
ment dies out they cannot help admitting
they were in the wrong and that they are
responsible for the killing and wounding
of so many citizens.
A few years ago Birmingham, Ala,
was the scene of a similar tragedy. The
prisoner in that case was a white man.
The sheriff warned the mob of his pur-
pose to defend the prisoner at all hazards,
but the warning was not needed. Quite
a number of citizens We're killed and
others were wounded.
There is no room for sympathy for the
Roanoke criminal VINO was lynched
and then burned. His crime was not
one punishable by death, but no
body regrets his fate He was
entitled, however, to a trial and the law
should have been permitted to take its
course The determination of mob to
take the law into its own hands has filled
many homes with sorrow and brought into
existence feuds that may lasta generation.
Lynch law is not excusable in any com
munity where there are courts and Off
GERS of the law. If the idea that it is
should be encouraged there would soon
be an end to law and order and to the
punishment of criminals by the courts.
Mob violence would take the place of law,
and white caps would undertake to regu-
late the business and morals of communi-
ties. Safety lies in strict obedience to the
law.

The nomination Of William 3. Horn
blower as associate Justice of the United
States supreme court has started specula-
tion among New York politicians as to
whether the President intended it as a
covert attack upon Senator Hill About
the fitness OF Mr.. Honblower for tho
position 10 which he has been nominated
there is no question whatever Although
only AZ years OF age he is admitted to be
one of the ablest lawyers of the New
York bar. And he is a man Of very high
character. During his professional career
he has been recognized as one of the most
honorable of men.
The point that the politicians make is
this: He is one Of the committee of law
yers who, after investigating the conduct
of Judge Maynard in the election contro-
versy Of 1891, in New York, reported that
the offense committed by Maynard was
one of the gravest known to the law, and
that he was clearly unfit for the highest
judicial station. Judge Maynard was APP
pointed one of the judges of the court of
appeals by Gov. Flower, and it is ex-
pected that he will be the democratic
nominee this fall for that position.
Senator Hill is one of Judge Maynard's
warmest supporters He defended the
judges conduct in the election matter
and profted by it. He has always main
tanned that the judge did in the election
matter just what any other man in his
position would have done. 1t is true that
distinguished democratic as well as re-
publican lawyers differ with the senator
on the matter in question tt is quite
certain that the judges action gave the
democrats control of the legislation and
enabled them to elect a United States
senator.
1t is now asserted by some of the enc
mics of Judge Maynard that if he is nom
mated by the democrats for the position
Of judge of the court of appeals it will be
asserted in the campaign that the Presi-
dent nominated Mr.. Hornblower because
Mr.. Hornblower condemned the conduct
of Judge Maynard, and to show that he
does not believe that Judge Maynard is a
fit man for high judicial position.
The truth doubtless is that the Presi-
dent nominated Mr.. Hornblower for one
reason only, viz, his eminent fitness for a
place on the bench of the United States
supreme court. If he thought about Mr..
Hornblower's connection with Judge May
nard's case at all it is safe to say that he
did not permit it to influence him one way
or another. He had known Mr.. Horn
blower for long time and was satisfied
that he could not make better selection,
however long he might wait before max
ing nomination.
The President cannot be held respon-
sible for the interpretations that politi-
clans may put upon the nomination. 1t is
the Presidents duty to name fit men for
positions under the government. He has
done his duty conscientiously in the case
of Mr.. Hornblower. He has nothing to
do with the manner in which the nomina-
nation may be used to influence politics in
New York.

Cholera in Hamburg.

Hamburg is threatened with another cpl
demic of cholera Within week there
have been about twenty cases
and several deaths. The harbor district,
which suffered so severely from the
epidemic last year, is as yet entirely free
from the plague The disease has made
its appearance only in the suburbs known
as st. John and St. Paul. New cases are
reported every day, and it would not be
surprising if the city should have,quite a
severe epidemic. 1t is evident that the
cholera germs are present, but whether
the disease will assume epidemic proper
tions time alone can determine.
The one hopeful indication is that al
though the cholera has shown itself in
many places in Europe this summer, no.
where except in Russia has it been par
ticularly malignant or become epidemic
In our dispatches yesterday it was shown
that there are cases of cholera in cities in
Hungary, Austria, England, Spain, Bel
gium, Italy and Germany.
The only cases that have been reported
in this country this year were in Jersey
City. Some doubt has been expressed
whether the cases reported there were
genuine cholera. If the disease was there
it was quickly stamped out. The season
is now far advanced and this country can
be considered safe from a cholera cpl
demic this year.

A Grammatical peoeiver.

A London gentleman advertised for apart
ments at a fashionable watering place and re.
ceived many replies. says It'd Bits He
pitched upon one, chiefly because it mentioned
a splendid sea view" and as 1t was not
convenient for him to leave his business to
see the apartments he closed with the offer
by post, sending a substantial deposit.
When the time came for him to take his
holiday he duly arrived at his destination
and was surprised to find that not glimpse
of the sea was obtainab bic from any window OF
his apartments
i thought you said there was splendid
sea view?' he said, angrily, to the landlady.
so there's. sir replied the landlady, draw
ing his attention to a picture on the wall-a
really excellentpainting of the sea-"
why, you-er-er-. What do you mean
by such swindle?n gasped the gentleman.
Il meant view Of the real sea"
'tOh, did you, sir?" coolly said the landIady.
IF you will refer to my letter you will see
that distinctly stated there was a splendid
sea view in the drawing room. Had 1 meant
a view of the real sea I should have
said there was splendid sea view from the
drawing room. l cannot think how an educa-
ted gentleman as you evidently are, could
have made snch an gorgeous error"
The gentleman was so taken aback that he
was not equal to arguing the point, and rushed
out OF the house minus his substantial de-
post.

The greatest difficulty is experienced,
day after day, IN securing the attendance
of a quorum of the senators. But the
speech makers do not seem to mind that.
They go on talking to empty chairs Just
as though a quorumless Senate were a
body competent to do business. Now, if
it really makes no difference whether a
quorum is or is not present to hear the
speeches, why cannot arrangements be
made to let every senator have his say
within day or two and be done with
it, Let both the Senate and the House
put their committee rooms at the disposal
of MIR. Vice President Stevenson; let
him assign room and a couple of ste
nographers to each senator who desires
to speak on the silver question, and let
the privileges of the Congressional Rec
ord be open to each speaker. Under such
an arrangement each senator could rant
to his hearts content and have his speech

senator Mills speech iu favor Of the
unconditional repeal of the Sherman sill
yer law was one Of the very best that has
been delivered on the silver question
since the present debate in congress on
that question began It is claimed by the
silycritos that Texas, Senator Mills
state, is overwhelmingly in favor of the
free coinage Of silver at the present ratio.
The senator believes they are mistaken
that he is much better acquainted with
the sentiment in Texas in respect TO sill
yer than they are.
The senator is bimetallist, but he
would not follow bimetallc flag into a
monomctal lie camp He understands very
well that the men who are opposing the
repeal of the Sherman silver law, and as
sorting that they favor bimetallism, are
simply silver monometallists. Not one Of
them has been able TO show that the
policy in respect to silver they favor
would not lead to silver recommendation.
Senator Mills was particularly vigor-
Gus in condemning those who assert that
if the Sherman silver law was uncon-
ditionally repealed the President would
not sanction any subsequent legislation
looking to the continuance Of the coinage
Of silver There was, he said,
no ground for any such assertion.
No one is in a position to say
what course the President would
pursue in respect to silver after the re
peal of the Sherman silver law. There
are senator's who undertake to say what
he would advise and what he would do,
Just as if they had been authorized to
represent him. They do not seem to
realize that they may be doing the Pres
idcnt great injustice. They are so hard
pressed for arguments to maintain their
side of the question that they are not
particular about the means they employ
to achieve their objects.
As a matter of fact, the President, as
Senator Mills pointed out, is adhering
closely to the national democratic plat
form. The platform calls for the speedy
repeal of the Sherman silver law. 1t does
not provide that repeal should be accom-
panied by Legislation authorizing the free
coinage of silver. Those who pretend
that it does are against the platform.
1t does say that the Democratic party
is in favor of the use of both gold and
silver as the standard money of the coun-
try, but the parity between the two kinds
of money must be maintained. 1t is en-
tirely safe to say that after the repeal of
the Sherman silver law, if a bill were
sent to the President that provided for
the free coinage Of silver upon terms that
would maintain parity between gold and
silver currency he would sign it. Those
democrats who are silverites have no
ground for charging the President with
ignoring the national democratic plat
form They, and not the President, are
the platform, because they re
fuse to vote for the repeal of the Sher-
man silver law.

Republican idea of "Stable" Tariff
Tho New York Advertiser publishes a
statement showing that between March
l, 1861 and October 2, 1890, inclusive,
twenty-six changes in the tariff laws of
this country were made. OF these
changes nine were tariff bills, involving
and affecting nearly every product of the
country.
All of this tariff tinkering it will be
borne in mind, was done in period of thir-
ty-one years, during which the Republican
party had control of the government.
Yet the republican papers-and the New
York Advertiser among them-are
shouting to the democrats to let the tariff
alone, alleging that business would be
unsettled and ruined if changes in the
tariff were made. They are pleading for
the stability of the tariff, a thing that
has never existed under the party of pro
tectionism, and thing that will never
exist until the democracy shall have done
away with the unjust taxation of the
masses for the benefit of a few favorites
The business that has found it conven-
lent to adjust itself twenty-six times in
thirty-one years to republican tariff
changes will not find it Onerous to make
one more, and final, adjustment.
