A NoNSENsICAL ASSERTION.

The statement made by an unreliable
authority that a judicial decision has
been given mixing the two presidential
amnesty proclamations identical in
effect. may be received with full in
credulity. A case involving the effect
and scope of the Cleveland amnesty
was tried at Beaver. The ruling of tbs
Tense. The accused. either finding he
had a weak case anyhow, or considering
it would cost him less to plead guilty
that to carry an appeal up to the higher
courts, concluded to take his medi-
cine and received a light sentence.
All that was set forth at the time, in
the report of the court proceedings at
Beaver, But now comes the unreliable
sheet aforesaid with the statement that
the judicial decision then rendered was,
that the amnesty proclamations OF
President Harrison and Cleveland are
identical in scope" That will be found
on investigation to be Incorrect
1t may be that as to the identical
case under consideration they were
similar in application. We can under
stand the possibility of cases arising
under the laws of Congress from which
neither of those proclamations would
bring relief. We do not say that this
was the condition of the case decided
at Beaver. On the contrary, from what
meagre details were received. it ap-
peared that there was good ground for
the belief that on appeal to the Supreme
Court of the territory a different ruling
might be obtained. 1t was NOT appealed.
so that opportunity of submitting the
question of the scope and bearing of
the Cleveland amnesty to higher court
was passed by.
But if any court would say that the
scope of that amnesty was no different
to that of the Harrison proclamation.
it would be tantamount to DENYING the
very language and purpose of the for
mer. We do not believe that the court
made any such sweeping decision. Our
contemporary may think so, because
its opinion as TO the ability of the
learned judge who rendered the ruling
We need only refer to its utterances
concerning the mental calibre and lack
of judicial acumen of that functionary
to establish its exceedingly low estimate
of his ability and fitness for the post
he occupies.

lave the work.Egrnen SAID what the
/ tariff should or should not be-. 1T may
be that organized wealth has gone to
Washington wholly in the interest Of
the woTkingmen. Ii it has, then it has
been very kind and It's kindness has
| never been appreciated, at least by
those for whom il was principally in
tended.
Senator Hoar says that protection
| is for the workman in the shop, the
wage-earner in the mill. and such
like. That it is as much as to say that
the men who have demanded protec-
ton, the men who control organized
wealth, have been more solicitous for
the welfare Of their employees than
themselves. The great strikes of the
manufacturing centers are evidence to
the very contrary.
This tenderness for the workingmdn
on the part of the protectionists is
very like the tenderness of the gold
bugs for him lest he shall be i'm
! posed upon by the advocates of free
silver. Organized wealth seems to look
upon the workingman as incompetent
to take care of himself and needing a
guardian And it is always willing to
| act as such guardian.
Senator Hoar's proposition that or
ganized wealth does not ask protec-
ton is all moonshine

CAPITAL AND PROTECTION.

At the Home Market club celebra.
ton in Boston, Senator George F.. Hoar
spoke. He devoted most of his time
to the New England Free Trade league
and its appeal to the conscience, in
telligence and patriotism of New Eng
land against protection He then
went on to tell what conscience and
intelligence it was that had responded
to such appeals in the past, and of
course he brought in the solid South
and the general stock in trade of a
bloody shirt Republican.
But there is one thing he said that
is worthy of particular notice 1t was
this: ''Organized wealth neither needs
nor asks protection That it does not
need it is true: but that it gets it is
equally true. What is it but capital,
or organized wealth, that has dictated
the tariff schedules? 1t is IA Carnegie
who has said what the iron and steel
schedule shall be. 1t is a Sugar trust
that has dictated the sugar schedule,
and so on through the entire list. When

THE woR111NGMAN,s MONEY

Organized labor has put forth doc
ument entitled: Demands of Organ
lied Labor for the Free Coinage of Sill
YER and the Restoration of the Money
of the Constitution 1t is signed by
the presidents of the leading labor or
CARNATIONS of the country These de-
mands meet with approval in the Went
where free silver is in favor, but not
an the East where gold alone finds IA
vor. An exchange says if this demand
were granted, the harm to workingmen
would be far beyond everything that
they have suffered in the last two
years. The workingmen do not look at
lit in this light. Ever since the demon
citation of silver they have seen prices
taking and money and work becoming
scarcer They have seen gold growing
fscarcer and dearer, and coupling these
two facts together they have become
convinced that the appreciation of
gold and the depreciation of prices are
interdeDendent. For this they want q
remedy, and they believe that it is 10
be found in the reconciliation of sill
yer. They know that whenever they
have achieved anything that has been
for their benefit and advancement
1T has been through their own efforts
and not through the efforts of the cap
itaHst and employer class
If they are willing to take this sill
yer Of which the gold men are SO APP
prehensive, why not let them have IT.?
Nobody wants to compel them to take
it, but it is very evident that there
are some who want to forbid them to
take it, Those who want to do this are
the god men. They say that they Will
men. Their position, as defined by cur
exchange, is: For what is asked is
simply this-that the workingman shall
be compelled by law to take silver
coin worth fifty cents for one dollar -
This is not correct. Every silver coin
of the United States is worth its face
value And that would be the case if
there were free coinage OF silver. 1t
may be said that gold would go to "a
premium. Gold went to a premium only
last week when the treasury was ask
ing for bids on bonds to replenish its
gold SO that it should not go to pre-
MUM. That was not on account of
free silver
If silver is to be coined for every one
who wishes to have it coined at the
ratio of is to / into legal tender coins.
any employer can take 500 in god and
buy enough gold to make two hundred
silver dollars, and when he offers his
worl0men their wages in these dollars
he will be discharged from his debt.
That is very profound. 1t is very
much like the pay OF Hamlet with
the Prince of Denmark left out If
there were free coinage of silver, s:l-
Yer would be worth its coinage value,
and a dollar of any kind would buy
just a dollars worth of silver not two
dollars worth
Let the workingmen have free silver,
and they will be content and there VIII
be such a return of prosperity as the
country has not seen for many years
1t is not a case Of compulsion, but
one Of prohibition.

In spite of the repeated complaints of
citizens and many business people
within d certain radius of the electric
| light works, volumes Of black smoke
continue to be emitted from its CHIN
ney, scattering smut all around and
constituting an every day nuisance of
a most Irritating character. In addf-
ton. TO that, the prolonged howl of its
steam whistle with succeeding ear
splitting blasts makes hideous the
evening air. and from its repetition
with additions is a horrible defiance of
the wishes Of the public and Of the cr-
dinances of the city.
Ii some private individual. poor and
without pull on the municipal au-
thorities, was to commit a nuisance on
one Of the streets of the city which
woula be annoying to the people there,
he would be promptly arrested and
punished for his offense. If an inebri-
ated common" fellow was to veil in
the street so as to startle citizens in
the immediate neighborhood, he would
be run IN" by the police and thrust
into jail without ceremony.
But here is a double daily nuisance
which has been permitted to go on for
years. and though the city ordinances
have been violated all that time with
out cessation, nothing is done by the
municipal authorities to enforce the
law or abate the nuisanees. Are these
things to go on forever? OR will some
thing practical be done for the relief Of
the people who have submitted until
patience ceases to be a virtue?
The fire and police commission
might find in these matters something
worthy of their attention. The Herald
is only one of the parties annoyed by
these heterogeneous of municipal law
and now merely voices the Indignation
of others. Both evils can be stopped
or at any rate greatly mitigated. There
is no need to have property spoiled or
soiled. by the dense clouds of black
smoke which descend from that chin
ney. There is no need for the pro-
longed screech OF that discordant
whistle with which some fiend in NOR
tai shape delights to torment the sur
rounding inhabitants.
If the managers of that institution,
against which no one has lany other
complaint than these, will continue to
disregard the rights of the public.

We do not hear any arguments on that

bad for the same reason? If net, why
