Ii the free coinage insanity were once Ia
prevail, no human being could ever tell
the difference betv cen having it so limit
led or unlimited. 1t is grave treason TO
Republican principles which the Republi-
can politicians in South Dakota accept in
the vain hope that infidelity will make
them stronger.-St. Paul Pioneer Press
Rep)
This puts the true Republican position
on silver as it is. The Republican party
as whole consider free coinage as in
sanity
Tariff reform is too big thing to be per-
fected in a day, or during one session OF
the progress made by the Senate bill
should encourage every Democrat TO per-
severe i'll the good work. We have taken
no step backward, but on the contrary
under the most adverse circumstances, we
have made long leap forward. A tariff
for revenue is still in sight.-Atlanta Con-
sutution Dem)
Only the very small affairs of a very
small country can be settled in a day.
When the tariff is again amended or recast
it will be in the direction of lowering it.

amendment to the New York constitution
Withdrawing state aid to sectarian schools
says:
If it be improper to give state money to
sectarlan schools outside. Of Institutions it
is improper to give it to schools connected
with asylums and the like. 1t is the
teaching of sectari5niSm at public expense
anywhere that is abhorrent to the Ameri-
can sentiment and spirit.
There should be no state aid to sectarian
schools, nor any sectarianism or politics
taught in the public schools.
NO one in the government service knows
anything about the qualities of the arp1or
put upon several important war vessels.
It may be as good as it was intended 70
be, or 1T may be very inferior, the pre-
sumption being that it is deficient in
strength, as otherwise there would have
been less effort made to deceive the inspec-
tors, and the Carnegie company would
have been less ready to have paid heavy
fine.-Philadelphla Ledger (Rep)
Some law should be passed making it a
criminal offense to furnish defective army
and naval supplies of any kind.
To acquire the best results operators will
import woods under the new law and pur-
chase from the domestic growers for the
mixture: This will increase the price
industry profitable feature of agricul-
ture. The Mckinley bill drove domestic
wool cut of consideration in the manu-
fucture of Woolens, and the diminished
market naturally depressed tie price, I'M
til it has reached point the lowest in
the history of the country.-KansaS City
Times Dem)
The high tariff on wool has simply made
it improbable to import foreign woods to
mix with the domestic woods so as to util-
ize them to the best advantage and the
consequence has been to lower the price
of the latter woods below anything ever
before known.
Commenting on the Carnegie armor
plate frauds the Philadelphia Times says:
The government should not stop with
testing the substituted plates. Those
guilty of the substitution frauds should be
punished, no matter who they. may be or
litical circle. The government of the
United States cannot afford to condone
gross frauds of this kind in a matter SO
important as the purchase of arnor plates
for modern warships. The lives of hun
dreds and thousands of seamep and the
very safety of the nation may be imper1l-
ed by successful frauds in this direction,
and no leniency should be shown to the
guilty.
The attempt to make martyr of Prof
Ely is failure. The charge against him
of teaching socialism in the Wisconsin
state university, falls to the ground. There
was nothing in4uisitorial in the 1nVestlga-
ton, and the question of free speech was
curry sought to settle was whether the
professor had teen teaching socialism un-
der the guise of political economy, and II
he was, whether the state OF Wisconsin co ISM
such an fnfiuence.-Minneapol1s Times
Oem)
= The charges against Prof. Ely have
fallen to the ground. The state superin-
tendent of schools should be more particu-
lar about his own statements in future
What shall be said of manufacturers
who for gain or through careleSsenss Will
endanger the lives of our sailors and put
the honor of the nation in jeopardy? Con-
gress must sift this matter to the bottom
and it must be made dangerous In the ex-
IRENE for any company to scamp gov
eminent work of this kind hereafter
New York Morning Journal
1t should be said of them that they are
a set of scoundrels. If there is any law
by which tkey can be punished they should
be.
The heresy that it is the duty of the
government to provide for the industrial
and supply his wants at the expense of
his manhood has persisted. The vicious
fallacy that any man has the right to
prevent his fellow from earning his bread
by honest toll has been wiped out.-hansas
City Star.
The industrial army movement and
the strikes that came later have served
a good purpose in bringing clearly before
the people the fact that this government
is not founded on the principles of social
ism.
There are few, if any, meaner or more
dangerous crimes than this. Because Ben
edict Arnold tried to sell bis country his
name is a. syLonyme for all that is base;
but the Homestead conspirators are no less
deserving of contempt. In view of
the findings of the Cummings committee
there ought to be no delay in bringing
the conspiratcrs to trial. The president
can secure their punishment. Will he do
it?-New York Herald Qnd.)
Given. the chance Benedict Arnold had
it is no great stretch of imagination to
suppose the Homestead conspirators would
follow his example
