MIR PaFFER admitted that the finan
ial theory of our government was
originally based upon the property
valuation of the country; that is, the
volume of circulation should be equal
TO the aggregate value of the prop.
erty. But in order to enhance the
value of property he would double the
volume OF the currency. Such q
scheme would undoubtedly enhance
the selling price of property, though
not its value, while it would cores
pondingly decrease both the value and
the purchasing power of the currency
Then who would be substantially
benefited? Certainly rot the great
mass OF the people.

MoraIitY's Narrow Escape.

1t is undoubtedly true that, for pur-
poses of self vindication, the Ashland
district could have returned much
large plurality for Colonel Owens than
it did, without doing the cause of mo-
rality any harm. The fact that Owens
was barely saved from defeat by the
vote of his own county, Scott, which
ranks among the "pack woods" coun-
ties of the district, while in the intelli-
gent and wide-awake county Of Fay
cite, the home of the very first families
of the blue grass aristocracy, Breckin-
ridge was successful against the united
protests of the churches, of women
singing and praying and of all the
forces of morality in militant array,
receiving in Fayette 2O5 plurality,
while the famous city Of Lexington
gave him 1.674 more than both his an
tagonists combined, does not indicate
either high order of morals or large
amount of discrimination among these
chivalric southrons.
But we are not prepared, despite
these discouraging figures, to agree
with the Pittsburg Times that there
"does not appear to be particle of evil
dence" that the issue in this national
battle of decency against defiant vice
twas determined by other than local
interests which would have been
against Breckenridge had his reputa-
ton not been sullied." 1t is indeed re-
markable that Colonel Breckenridge,
with SO bad case, should have made
so formidable q showing. But, with
his family name and prestige, rein
forced by the southern exclusiveness
which resents often the plain voice of
duty as an interference, we are pre-
pared to believe, rather, that he would
have won, had the moral opposition
been less determined. He was not the
first man to breast public clamor be-
cause of private indiscretion. Had he
given any true token of penitence, in
stead of making his flaunted sin po.
litical capital, it is easy to believe that
he would have won both renomina-
ton and a reelection, by possibly in
creased majorities.
AS it was, we must believe that the

manly warnings of such able and trust.
worthy Democratic leaders as Colonel
Henry Watterson and dozens like him,
elected by the audacity of Colonel
Breckinridge's course, had their effect.
To deny this, even in Kentucky, would
be to strike a blow at morals from
which there is no escape. The people
of the south may be more than ordin-
arily resentful of scandal, and more
than customarily firm in their admira-
ton for men who, although bad, are
likewise brilliant and brainy. But we
do not believe that they are the kind
of people to shirk responsibility
when once it is put squarely to them;
and until there is more contrary evil
dence than superficial election returns
in which fraud may have played an
important part. we shall continue to
regard the verdict Of last Saturday as
far-reaching in its vindication of per-
sonal purity in public life.

Senator Brice, when interviewed rel
ative to the remarkable scene in the
Democratic state convention at Colum-
bus Wednesday,, affected to treat it as
of slight significance and called atten-
tion to the fact that the opposition to
him came principally from delegates
representing Republican counties. This
may be true, yet in his soul he must
know that the scathing denunciations
of Orator John II. Clark were honest
reflections of the better sentiment of
the party and of the people; and not
simply the vaporings of an excited
factionalist.
Senator Brice is Objectionable, not
because he is rich-honestly acquired
wealth is a token of credit, not of
shame. He is Objectionable, not be-
cause he endeavored, in some instances
while in the senate, to interpose his
vote as a restraining influence against
the overtlowing tide of Populistic ig-
norance and delusion. The reasons
which invest his name with repug-
nant significance have to do with none
of these things. They have to do with
daring and INSCRIPTIONS campaign
methods, with intimate affiliations
with giant monopolies and trusts, and
with general trend of public service
. which, whenever necessary to the pro-
lection of favorite special interests, has
not scrupled to ignore the general well
fare as a thing too trivial for sena-
tors consideration.
The United States senate is degener-
ate in that it is possible abode for men
like Brice. Before he was elected to
it he had given no evidence of ability
sufficient to justify such a mark of
public confidence. He had done moth
ing as legislator; he was unknown as
statesman; the most that could be
said for him was that he had pros
pered nightly as speculator and
had negotiated daring deals in stocks
and bonds. Underneath his public
career there ran no vein of unselfish =
ness, no hint of sincerity. He was o
speculator, in every sense of the word,
never less and never more. His cleo
ton to a seat made famous by really
great men was simply huge game Of
political chance in which he handled
the gilded cards that won.
The Ohio Democracy was particeps
criminis; but it is something in its
favor that it has grown dissatisfied
with its bargain.

Chairman Stranahan intimates that
General Hastings,as as he travels through
the state, twill find all the coke ovens
in operation, the mines running mer-
rily, a traffic on the railroads now al
most beyond the capacity Of the lines,
the furnaces aglow everywhere, bust
ness reviving in every direction and
change of conditionsin in everything un-
der the beneicent rulings of the new
tariff law and the settlement of the
tariff agitation. There is no question
but what prosperity has returned and
business depression is at an end. With
vicious legislation out of the way and
the way paved to better conditions in
the wool, and the cotton, the coal and
iron trades, l apprehend that the sober
second thought of the people will better
the Democratic organization in every
direction"
The "beneiicent rulings OF the new
tariff laws" would have been a great
deal more beneticent had they let the
tariff question alone and saved the
country two years of awful panic
Even now Mr.. Cleveland is not salts
fled with these "beneficent rulingsb
which he declares constitute "out-
ragous discrimination and violation of
principle" and wants to tinker awhile
longer, so as to make them more "ben-
eficent." We suspect that General
Hastings will not be sorry to see the
coke ovens in operation, the mines run
ming merrily and the railroads hum
ming. If the people take his advice
this kind of thing will not be so excep-
tional as to constitute political party's
only ground for hope.

REPORTING CONGRESS- WORK.
tonnressnan IAN Eorhia.

No doubt you have seen descriptions OF
the way the proceedings are now reported.
They have a corps OF the best stenograph-
ers available. Each man takes the pro-
ceedings for ten minutes at a time, fol-
lowing the speakers about from place to
place the better to take what they say. At
the end of ten minutes the reporter Is re-
lieved and he steps into the lobby and
reads what he has taken down into the
phonograph. Then he lis ready to take his
turn again. The monographs are con-
stantly kept in order by an expert electri-
clan and so there Is no trouble from that
source. The cylinders are sent to the
copyists and before q man has finished his
speech part OF it is written out and
twenty minutes after he has finished he
can get type written copy.

1T WOULD BE like Hill to run for
governor, hanging on to the senator
ship meantime, until the cat had
jumped. He did the reverse of this
before he was made senator; and what
Hill has done Hill undoubtedly can
repeat. No doubt Hill has strength
ened himself in popular estimation
since last he ran for an elective office.
But strong or weak, he will be as chaff
before the gale of Republicanism in
November. The people have had
enough of Democracy in all its phases.
They have experimental and lost.

tainties. With Hill as an antagonist,

WE DO NOT believe that there is a
wish on the part of representative
Scrantonians to impose on the Scran-
ton Traction company. All that the
public wants is reasonable and fair
consideration, and this they have a
right to expect. When the street rail-
way company promises to do a thing
it ought to do it. 1t has promised to
do its share toward grading Mulberry
street out to the new boulevard. 1t
has not yet fulfilled this promise
Can it afford, under any circumstances,
to show want of faith? Is 1t the pol
icy of wisdom to make promises and
not keep them? The Philadelphia in
terests in this company would not act
that way in Philadelphia. Why
should they require their local repre-
sentativesito act that way in Scranton?

apparent good health and circum-
stances to seek seclusion away from
home, friends and about all that we
should live for, can never be satisfac-
torily explained, though it is gener-
ally accepted as an indication that a
skeleton, weird and CHASTITY, may have
haunted the home of the departed with
persistence that made life in the
neighbOrhood unbearable. The indi-
vidual who ends tiresome life with
bullets or rat poison usually leaves
something behind that indicates the
the cause of his earthly WEAKNESS, but
the man who runs away in most in
stances casts a shadow Ofmystery upon
his movements that is puzzling in its
impenetrableness, and infiicts greater
punishment upon anxious friends in
suspense than the knowledge of his
death would bring.
