The President aud the Bland scheme.
From Washington comes the disquiet-
ing rumor that il the bill TO issue paper
money against tho alleged silver seig-
niorage be presented to the President
he will sign it. We shall believe this
story when the President shall have
affixed his signature to the dishonest
and monstrous measure.
The reasons given for the Presidents
change OF front are his fear that the bill
would be passed over his veto; that the
silver men might do something worse ;
and that the veto might make further
trouble in the Democratic party. The
Presidents responsibility is tor the
proper discharge OF his own duty. II
Congress go wrong that is not his fault.
What worse the silver men can do does
not appear.
The proposition OF the seigniorage
bill is to put out $50 100000 representing
profit that does not exist and is based
on something which would not belong
to the government ii it did exist. Every
ounce OF the silver in the treasury
bought under the act OF 1890 is pledged
to the holders OF the notes issued under
that act. There has been n loss on ev.
cry ounce OF it, on the whole a loss of
S43OOO,OOO.
The fact is that the seigniora.e bill is
cheat and n fraud from beginning to
end. 1t is not really n silver bill q. all,
for there is no silver to base the pro.
posed issue on. 1t is n bill to issue
S55,000000 more-unier reasonable
Interpretation twice tina: amount-of

WHEELING, MARCH IL, 1904.
Election Frauds Under Police Protcc.
tiOn.

tiOn.
The committee OF the New York SON.
ate which has undertaken an investiga'
ton OF the police department OF the
metropolis" has not gone very lar in
its work, but it must be satisfied by this
time that the police department is Tam
many's right hand in the commission OF
election frauds.
Witnesses OF the highest standing
have testified to tho most shameless
and open violation OF tho election laws
by rammuny mon, the police being
present, knowing what was going on
and aiding and abetting it. The police
would not Interfere with any Tammany
man who was breaking the law. II a
Republican or Independent Democratic
watcher called attention to Tammany
doinSs he was thrown out or taken TO
the police station.
General Charles H. 7. Coils, who
acted as Republican watcher i'll 1892,
testified TO Tammany efforts to put him
away from the polls. He saw n list OF
names made up, taken outside and Civ
en- to repeaters who werc waiting TO do
the work. He saw the same men at
other places. The police saw the SAM
men, knew what they were for and
what they would certainly do ii not
interiered with, and the police did not
interfere with them. General Coils
saw Tammany men 20 into tho booths
and fix the tickets OF the repeaters.
The police saw it, too, but they were
there to protect Tammany, not to spoil
its game.
It is estimated that in this way Tam
many got in from 1900 to 10000 fraud
ulent votes. II it were not for the po-
lice protection Tammanv could not cut
the figure it does in New York politics.
1t may be that the present legislature
will find way to reform this feature OF
police work.

Trollope, Thackeray, Dickens and the
lesser foreign lights who have done US
the honor to visit this country pen in
hand are outdone by Stead. These mis-
sionariea touched us up here and there.
Stead takes the hide of CHICAGO, dis
sects the body, powders the bones and
subjects the flesh to a searching q uanti-
tative and qualitative analysis. All this
he does in book form, besides helping
many societies and lots OF individuals
to attend to their own business, and has
come and gone in the short space OF n
third OF 4 year.
There is disposition to misjndge
Stead. He is charged with coming to
this country to reform persons and
things, especially in Chicago. This is
singular misconception OF the object OF
this eminent English bush whacker's
visit. He came TO make sensation
and to open the way for book that will
sell. II his heart ycarned ior reform
work to do and that only, he would have
remained in London, by his own al
omission the ripest field since SoGom and
Gcmorruh.
1t is sad 10 think that in the four
months Stead has been devo:ing to
Chicago London has had to get along
without him and will be Just that much
worse of when he resumes business at
tho old stand.
