evident, as we have prophesied. that the
United states IL coming To hold the win
ming hand.
1t only needs q little patience now ep-
parently To bring about desirable inter-
national agreement regarding silver.
Whether this agreement reaches TO the
height of the full res toration OF silver to On
equality with gold may be doubted but such
action Is sure TO raise the price Of the white
metal aud bring nearer the day OF Its un-
qualified reconciliation. In the next con-
ference, which will probably not be very
long deferred, the UnitedStates Will occupy
an entirely different position from the
last one. Then we were insulted by pat
ronizing treatment as II the nations OF
Europe were kindly arranging, out OF
sheer disinterested friendship, for our re-
lief. In the coming conference, thanks TO
the repeal OF the silver legislation, the
country will occupy strong and inae-
pendent position. willing TO assist put
quite able to &C II alone, and the burden
will be thrown where it belongs, on to
Great Britain; and she will have to accept
Ii, too.
All this premises that those various evil
dences Of idiocy, bills for the coinage OF
the seigniorage or otherwise TO increase
the amount OF silver I'm our circulation,
fail of enactment. Every step in this al.
rection plays directly into the hands OF
English interests devoted to gold mon
ometalism; every such stupid man9uvre
on our part makes the future of silver
more dubious and the day of remonetiza-
tion more distant. We shall fail to justify
our Yankee reputation for 'cuteness IL we
fall into such blunder, when otherwise
the game is ours.

BLOOD HAS BEEN SHED.

Train stealing and other acts of vio-
lence by the Coxeyites has already re-
suited in bloodshed, and the movement,
unless it is promptly checked, is yet in
its ipcipiency. The defiance of United
States marshals even to the point of
forcible resistance shows the extent to
which these ''armies" from the West are
prepared to go to carry out their ends.
The strategy of an officer of the regu-
lar army with body OF troops has
temporarily checked the advance of at
least one detachment.
The NEWS has not been among the
papers which have cast ridicule on this
movement, but instead has realized the
serious consequences that might arise
and which were likely to arise if the
movement was persisted in. The serious
nature of the movement has now been
revealed. The New England detach-
ment is far different body from those
pouring across the continent from the
West. The older civilization of New
England knows but little of the restless,
lawless element that exists in the West,
and which springs readily to the surface,
no matter how well concealed it may be
for years upon slight provocation.
The West has hardly emerged from
the lynch laws and vigilance COM
mittee stage of its comparatively recent
settlement, and propositions are made
by Western "armies' that would never
be dreamed of in the older and longer
settled parts of the country.
THANKSGIVING in New England would
promptly be checked by local authority,
but in the West the whole matter of
rebuking these gross violations Of laws
has fallen upon the Federal Govern
ment.
The entire movement is wild and
illegal one. 1t has for its object the
forcing of legislation in an illegal man
ner and it proposes to go about it in an
illegal way.
But the armies have now received
notice on the part of the Federal gov
ernment that when Federal rights are
invaded the leaders will find themselves
quickly overpowered.
1t is disgrace to the Western States
that they have so cowardly allowed
their own laws to be violated and the
officials to be proven so week-kneed that
they dared not cope with a lawIess
mob.

feet the bill, but 10 see il they cannot
kill IL through long dragged out debate
and procrastlnating argument The
Democratic majority is justified, there
fore, IN taking such measures rs see'n
calculated to give TO the majority that
right to rule that our system of govern
ment accords to it, and even Senator
Hill can be quoted in support of the
opinion that the courtesy of the Senate
ceases TO be courtesy when it is en-
ployed simply for the purpose of OBJ
struction. If the Vice President or one
Of the Democratic Senators, acting IN
his place, should decide to suspend de-
bate for the purpose of adopting a
closure rule which a majority of the
members would support, an opportunity
would then be given TO pass the tariff
bill. If not in As hours certainly with
reasonable speed"
Thus The Herald favors the passage of
the Wilson bill as amended by the
Senate finance committee without op-
portunity for debate, without discussion
by paragraphs, or an oppor-
tunity for amendment. 1t swal-
lows it, income tax and all. in its
insane desire to complete tariff tinker
ing. This may be independence, but it
looks a good deal like cuckooism and
stupidity. In the meantime the public
prefers no settlement TO a bad settle
ment, uncertainty to the certainty of
destruction to American industries.
The Herald has been some time in arriv-
ing at this point and now it is prepared
to swallow the whole bill, with an ap-
parent attempt at relish.

A Bill for the Creation of Tramps

Our rampant Wilson bill at any price
contemporary, the San Francisco Exam
liner, informs us that "the principal cause
of the tramp nuisance" as shrewdly ac-
counted for, says our contemporary, by
the lecturer OF the California Grange, "is
a native indisposition to work on the part
OF an appreciable percentage OF our popu-
lation.n
The tramp army Is easily entered and
rarely left; but never in the history OF
this country has so effective a measure
been proposed for the creation and main
tenance of tramps as the income tax. III
the field OF taxation is to be arbitrarily
narrowed, and il one man is to be openly
taxed for the benefit OF another, upon the
ground that he has more money than the
other, why should not the tramps multi
ply till they outnumber the taxpayers?
II their supplies are to be drawn not from
the storehouse of general kindhearted-
ness but, legally, from the enormous re-
sources OF thrift and industry, why
shouldn't the tramp organization swell
without limit, getting ever boder and
more uncomfortable a. IL grows!
Possibly such n state of society Is one Of
the "obnoXious Western provisions
which our inflamed communistic contem-
porsry OF san Francisco has threatened TO
"ran down the throats OF Senator Hill
and his allies unless they surrender TO
the Cleveland -Populist alliance for an in
come tax.

INSURANCE.

Russia Turns Out Tontine Insurance.
The law forbidding tontine Insurance.
in Russia, which was principally aimed at

lowed by other nations.

will continue to do business In Russia
without the tontine feature.
The American companies will not accept
this decision of the Russian Court

made by q representative OF the leading
companies. He is asked to take such
action as our Government may properly
take in the surmises.
