The resolutions are accompanied by an
address TO the people. and the demand
Of the petition is in these words:
We demand of the present congress the
immediate return to the money of the
constitution as established by our faith
ers by restoring the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the present ratio of
is 10 l, the coins Of both metals 70 be
equally full legal tender for all debts,
public and private, as before the fraudu-
lent decentralization of silver in 1873.
We also condemn the increase of the
national debt in the time of peace fand
the use Of interest-bearing bonds at any
time.
This is very well so far as the express
sion Of desire for free coinage Of silver
is concerned, but when the petitioners
refer to their adherence to the wise BIZ
metallic financial principles of Washing
ton, Jefferson and Hamilton" they show
that they do not know what they are
talking about. Neither OF these three
great Americans ever saw a silver dollar
at the ratio Of 16 TO 1. In their day our
silver dollars were coined at a ratio of
10 to /. And. moreover, all three Of these
men were bimetallists and knew that BIZ
metallism could be maintained only at
the worlds ratio. The greatest care was
exercised by them in ascertaining the
worlds ratio before fixing our ratio, and
when the worlds ratio departed from
ours their successors readjusted it by
adopting 16 to l. This country could not
possibly maintain bimetallism at 10 to 1
under present circumstances. 1t would
inevitably go to silver monometallism.
1t could not maintain bimetallism at the
ratio OF 16 to 1 even if the remainder OF
the world remonetized silver because if
the remainder of the world does that it
will adopt the ratio Of 1512 to /, and that
would take all of the silver out of this

The testimony before the national com
mission at Chicago goes far toward re-
moving the odlum Of lawlessness and de-
struction Of property from the striking
railroad men. one Of the witnesses was
John c. Donnelly, chief deputy marshal
Of the district. who was largely in charge
of the special deputies. The following
question and answer from his examina-
tion are very clear and forclble:

OF cars that / saw at the stocks yards
was done by a lot OF tough kids about
eighteen years old or "A little older. The
strikers We're taking no part in e. ] saw
some drunkenness, but II was among
these same boys. There must have been
a thousand OF them along the tracks"
Malcolm Mcdowell, a reporter for the
Record testified that he had been sent
TO Blue Island to report the strike and
that the acts OF violence there were due
TO briclxmalSers or Idle men from the
brick yards" He returned to Chicago
on a guarded train and encountered

r. S. Baker. also OF the Record, was at
Hammond He said the leader of the
rioters there was a Chicago rough. Mr..
Baker was also for a time at Kenslngton,
and said that the overturning OF ears
there was done by n mob OF roughs. The
leaders OF the strikers were on the edges
Of the crowd. sending their men away
and urging them TO do nothing unlawful.
II. r. Cleveland Of the Herald said he
had large acquaintance among the
men on the Rock Island. Lake Shore and
Western Indiana systems and was de-
tailed for duty on those lines. The riot
ing and destruction OF property there
was by "the saloon loafers who live IN
the neighborhood OF the tracks"
The testimony OF these witnesses goes
10 prove what Is ordinarily the truth IN
such cases. The intelligent employees
know that nothing Is to be gained for
their cause by rioting and destruction OF
property. That necessarily makes the
employers less disposed 10 adjust the
difficulties and invariably results in the
growth Of public sentiment against the

OuR MALICIOUS CONTEMPORARY.

We are panied TO observe that the es-
teemed New York Sun is circulating a
number Of charges against The Sentinel
which have more or less truth involved in
their composition. together with a suf-
ficient quantity of Misrepresentation TO
make them palatable to its regular read
ers. We viii, therefore. disgrace our
selves by making a few remarks in re-
gard to them.
The Sun says The Sentinel is a
cuckoo" As we understand the word
cuckoo" to be used by the Sun, it means
a person or newspaper that holds Mr..
Cleveland TO be a better democrat than
David B. Hill. On this basis we will
enter a plea Of guilty at once.
Possibly the word is also intended to
signify one who prefers Mr.. Cleveland's
ideas Of tariff reform TO those or the sun
In that case also 1t is properly used. But
when the sun states that The Sentiners
ideas Of tariff reform ARE not derived
from any fixed convictions of its own"
it banishes truth from its columns If
The Sentinel has any reputation that Ii
has earned. it is the reputation of a re-
form newspaper, and especially as a
champion Of tariff reform. 1t was a
tariff reform paper before Mr.. Cieveland's
first nomination for the presidency. and
had made this congressional district an
earnest tariff reform district long before
Mr.. Cleveland's tariff reform message Of
1887 was issued. Moreover it is cham
pion Of radical tariff reform-lnuch more
radical than Mr. Cleveland has yet pub
licly favored. 1t denounced the conces-
sions to the sugar and whisky trusts and
the iron and coal combines as soon as
they were announced by the senate
finance committee. and long before Mr..
Cleveland had referred to any of them
specifically. 1t pointed out then that they
were the really Objectionable features of
the senate bill. and the entire country has
since recognized the truth Of our posi-
ton. To deny in any way that The Sen
tinel is and always has been an earnest.
aggressive. radical and consistent tariff
reform paper is absurd as it would be
to declare that the sun is not shining at
MONDAY. The Sun VIII not go into the
Office Of a contemporary in the country
where its statement win not at once be
recognized as a foolish falsehood. Col.
Abe slupsl<y could have told IT that.
The sun inslnuates that The Sentinel
Is not a reliable prophet After profound
reflection we are disposed to admit that
there is some truth in this charge We
did say that the house would never sur
render and we thought the divine ar
hatus was working on us at the time
There seems to have been some failure
To connect. however Possibly It was not
an ahiatus at all. 1t may have been or
binary malaria. But the Sun has no
right to make offensive reference to

a prophet will not bear investigation. And,
besides, It is a prophet Of Baai. anyway.
We are somewhat discouraged as a
prophet but we will sun wager that we
can set fire % a pile Of wet logs quicker

rendered. And besides all this the Sun
in its meanest moments certainly will not
deny that. II our prophecy had been ful-
filled. It would have marked an epoch

The New York Recorder makes a kick
that is really ingenious. Crfticising Mr.
Cleveland for occasionally making a trip
on a government vessel, it says that Mr.

Cleveland treads in their footsteps in this

INCENDIARISM.
A Fire In Vim. Posts Residence
Last Monday Evening.

An incendiary fire in the residence
of VIM. Post on Third street called out
the fire department at about $50
o'clock last Monday evening, but be-
fore the department arrived at the
spot George Drake, who resides next
door, entered the house from the rear,
and with several pals of water extin-
guished the flames.
The fire was first seen by T. l..
Hathaway, who was horseback riding
at the time. The house, which was
unoccupied at the time, was illuminat-
ed by the flames. Young Hathaway
cried out "Fire," but the report was
slow in reaching the fire house, and
for long time it was hard to locate
the fire, or dispel the idea that some
boy was raising cane. In the mean
time, Mr.. Drake, who was startled bv
the first cry, rushed out of his office,
and saw the adjoining residence illum-
mated by lurid glare of fire. He
rushed to the front door. It was
locked, and he hurried around to the
rear door, which was wide open, and
in the northwest corner of the dining
room he discovered lot of pine, sat
urated with kerosene, ablaze. Every
room and window in the house was
open, and the draft was perfect. He
kicked the burning pile over the room
and then rushed for water with the
result stated above.
After the flames were extinguished
an investigation was made, and suf6-
cient evidence was discovered to con-
vince every one that the fire was the
work of an incendiary. No insurance
could be recovered as the house was
unoccupied at the time of the fire. The
police we're put on to the matter and
they are investigating at the present
time.
