Thus every time Prof. Ledieu entered

1t was al his own thought that Prof.
Ledieu smiled, and the internal sa~tisfac-

brain caused him was the sole motive
that raised the corners of his lips. As

protest against that lack of foresight
and Judgment upon the part Of some pro-
fessed Democrats who always seem anx-
ious to adopt whatever the Republicans
and people have repudiated There were
those who vigorously opposed the issue of
greenbaCks during the war; but when Re-
publicans after the war sought to curtail
and restrict their further issue, these men
became the earnest champions OF a green
back currency and sought to merge the
Democratic party into a greenbacl party.
They opposed the policy Of return to sp..
Gle payments, and then when specie pay
ments, became an accomplished fact, they
clamored for paper money. Then, subse.
quently they espoused the cause Of q
metallic currency and became the earnest
advocates Of free silver-the free and un-
limited coinage Of siver-but soon there
after with the characteristic fickleness
unworthy Of so good a cause they ac-
cepted the Bland compromise measure
which provided simply for limited coin
age. Then the Republicans in 1890 passed
the Sherman law, which provided
for the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer the same rs gold-but for limited
coinage and the purchase aud stor-
age OF silver bullion, treating it as
commodity instead of money
metal. measure which violated eve
ry correct principle Of finance. Although
the Democratic party opposed that meas
ure and denounced it for three years and
demanded its repeal in their national plat
form, the present advocates of an income
tax when the opportunity for action came
last year strenuously opposed its repeal in
congress for three long months. They are
tho same short.sighted men who four
years ago made the air at the capitol re-
sound with their denunciations Of ex-
Speaker Reeds rules, and recently turned
around and adopted the substantial prin.
ciple involved in those very rules, amid
the laughter and ridicule of the whole
country.

1t is a suggestive circumstance that
in this age Of reason and civilization,
on this continent of equal rights, at the
very capital Of this free government,
the fear of his attempted assassination
should induce the president Of the
United States, upon the advice
Of friends, to redouble the guards
around the executive mansion and take
extra precautions to keep himself Sc
cure from harm. No less suggestive ia
the fact that an president, living
quietly at his home in indianapolis,
where his vocation is that Of re-
spected and law-abidding private citi-
zen, should be the target Of cranks
anxious to do him bodily injury. Had

and fears might be dismissed as exsg-

Unhsppily the facts are all in favor
of the theory that the most peaceable

official responsibility has brought pub
licity and prominence, is personally
unsafe. The law does not afford pro-
lection against the sudden crime of the
intlamed maniac, 1t interposes no sure
