GENERAL CLlRE'S VIEWS.

General r. NJ. Clark in a long let
ter to the Reno Journal holds that
the financial plank of the Chicago
platform meant free coinage and
pledged the Democratic party to the
coinage OF both gold aud silver with
out discrimination against either
metal. He also says that the very
language OF the Democratic platform,
which is inserted in the repeal bill,
will firmly bind the Congressman who
voted for the bill and the Executive
who approved it. He therefore eau
not doubt, and thinks there is 10
reason TO doubt, that at the proper
time Congress and the Executive will
faithfully redeem their pledges. He
also thinks that every party and fac.
tion in Congress favor the coinage
and use OF both gold and silver
money and that the difference, il
there be any. between the parties or
factions relates TO the ratio, not to
the material matter OF coinage.
General Clarke expresses surprise
and disappointment that no party,
faction OF Individual has been found
with enough courage or honesty TO
bring forward a measure embodyiEg
the principle Of FREQ and unlimited
coinage on terms Of equality and
uPoa the ratio Of parity Of value, as
contemplated by the Constitution OF
the United States, and asks il it al
lie possible that prominent advocates
ri free coinage are determined to
keep the question open for political
effect.

tract, the injured party might sue either
for libel or for retraction, after the man
ner of the French system. If judgment
was had against the defendant, then the
retraction, as set out in the judgment,
should be published by the paper, and
the court could enforce its decree as in
other cases.
In nine cases out of ten libeled parties
do not wish judgment for damages, but
simply judgment of vindication. But
unless that is printed as fully as was the
libel, and sent through the same chan
nels to the public ear, the injured party
is not righted. But the proposed New
York law will protect honest publishers,
for it will give them full opportunity to
correct errors, and save them thereby
great cost and annoyance, for libel suits
are always expensive and their outcome
seldom compensates either party for the
money spent in and the time devoted to
them.

vides that anyone thinking himself
libeled by a newspaper may demand a

the making of the charge. If the pub
Usher refuses to retract, or to correct his
error, the facts being all laid before him,
the injured party may sue, but not until
the refusal has been distinctly made.

law goes. That which we held for pro-
vided further that. on the refusal to re-

MORALS OR MONEY.

A recent essayist on municipal corrup-
ton declares it as the best judgment that
no man should be elected to municipal
office who is not free from debt. We are
unable to divine on what evidence he
bases this conclusion. Certainly as many
rogues have been in office who were
financially easy as of the class that has its
nose to the grindstone. 1t may be adj
mitted that the sensitive man who is
worried by debt is exposed to greater
temptations, but the sensitive man also is
more alive to moral obligations.
The essayist says that ''moral reputa-
ton is the flimsiest of securities for good
conduct" That is simply raw, bald,
untrue assertion. The most heroically
correct men are those whose moral repu-
tation is their best capital in life Expe-
rience in these parts is that the boodler is
neither sensitive man nor one poor in
this worlds goods, as rule. The worst
boodlers we have in California are fellows
without more. We do not discover any
reason for the charge that the poor man is
more susceptible to corrupt approaches.
It may be freely admitted that wealth
and independence ought to make man
stronger in right-doing, but in politics
those are often the very incentives to the
NH; oh
ment, for the boodler who has wealth has
an itching desire to control and to boss it
over others.
The thrifty rascal never ceases to add
to his accumulations. With him it is a
small matter whether man is rich or
poor, If only he can be used. 1t may be
does not need Office as means to exist
ence, but it by no means follows that the
poor man who aspires to position does so
to practice dishonesty. 1t may be that
the man in debt and in Office is subject to
expressions that may result in his going
astray, but it does not follow that the
braced by moral convictions, will less
readily connive to fill his purse fuller by
political sharp practice.
If an upright and straightforward life,
one characterized by probity and a fine
moral sense, is not good security for
faithfulness and honesty in Office, then
certainly financial freedom and gold
galore is not, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, and We agree with it. Of
course. distinction must be made be-
tween the designing men who pirate
loudly of their moral courage and their
incorruptibility and the sincere man
whose joy it is to be at peace with his
own conscience. What communities
Judge of men by their lives as to their
honesty is, as we take it, of the best of
securities.
No, the way to conserve municipal
honesty is to select men to municipal
Offices who are honest in their daily walk,
and who have by their lives given testi-
mony of their sincere moral convictions
and of their courage to prove true to them
under any and all circumstances. The
Minneapolis Tribune sums up the whole
matter in this sensible verdict: sit is not
q question OF debt or of solvency, but OF
morals and public sentiment"

THEY propose to return to capital pun
ishment in Michigan because State
prisoner succeeded in poisoning his
keepers and escaping from custody. The
idea is that had Latimer been hanged in
the first instance he would have been
harmless to the community thereafter
logical, certainly. But if there is any
reason for abolition of capital punish
ment, such reasons advanced in Michi-
gan for return to it are not good. The
simple fact is that prison discipline in
Michigan was bad and Latimers latest
crime was not due to anything else. The
subject is, however, on tap in Michigan,
and the Detroit papers are very dill
gently charging that absence of capital
punishment has not worked out the vir-
tues claimed for 1t. On the contrary,
crime of the desperate order has very
much increased outside of the second and
third timers. That is legitimate argu-
ment, the other is not. In that Stale, it
appears, only % per cent of the men
who commit murder are punished at all,
and only per cent. of those convicted
receive the full penalty of the law.
Would return now after forty years of
abolition of capital punishment result in
any better statistical showing in Michi-
gan? Possibly not. While we are OPP
posed to the Wolverine system, that
State should not change now without
cooler examination into the causes of the
increase of crime. Probably it will be
found that they lie deeper than the alb
sence of capital punishment, somewhat
nearer, indeed, to the general moral tone
of the whole people.
