among those to whom He re-

Chrisl has made it y0urduty

these people-your contem-

crossing that river OF death

and for the great multitude
the glad tidings must come
soon or never. They are ig-

and utterly unable to extri-
cate themselves from this pit
of hea thenism. All the edu.

ity of the christian world can
not lift them out OF this con-

can bring deliverance.

port of the election commit
tee in the contested case OF
. Neil VS.. JOY, OF Missouri,
which has been hanging Tor
more than q week for lack ci

his coinage bill be passed
oyer the Presidents veto.
1t cannot pass, unless the re-
publicans who voted against
the bill should refuse to vote,
and even chen il could hard.
.Iv pass, as there are Il num-
Der OF democrats who voted
tor the bill when it was pas
sed who will not vote to pa 8

There is little doubt that a
free coinage hill will soon bp
reported to the House from
the Coinage committee. Of
which Mr. Bland iSrhairnan,
but there is much doubt OF
its being passed.
Well, the long wait is over.
A democratic Public Printer
is to succeed Mr.. Frank w.
Palmer, the republican who
has held the Office since May
1889. The lucky man is Mr..
Thomas e. Benedict, OF New
York, who held the office
from September 1885, un-
til Palmer's appointment.
While there is, of course,
s64ne personal disappoint-
ment among democrats who
were close friends OF other
for the appoint
tnent, there is general demo
pratic rejoicing that the pos
ition which controls the ap-
of nearly three
thousand employees, all out
side Of Il he classified service,
is to be filled by a democrat.
MIR. Benedict is not only a
good democrat, but, as pro-
ven by his record when in
control of the Office. he is Il
good Public Printer. There
will probably not be one sin
gle objection raised IN the
Senate to the confirmation
of his nomination.
Secretary Carlisle has be-
come SO accustomed TO being
lied about and nlisrepresent-
I'd in republican newspapers
that he would not know
what to make of any oppOr-
tunity for the manufacture
of a fresh batch Of stories be-

not disappointed by the re-

} The Augusta Chronicle, 4
: leading Georgia paper o
much influence says:
"The Chronicle deeply dep
recates this action on t h {
part Of the President. 1t will
rejoice Wall street, but twill
disaploint the people Of the
South aud West, who looked
to a democratic administra
ton Tor a financial policy
which would appreciate val.
ues and stimulate business.
The hoodleholders, the man
ufacturers and the capital
lists ore opposed not only to
frfe silver coinage, but t q
any increase in the present
volume Of silver money"
The Washington Post, Re-
publican, reports this:
"Thr men upon whom the
veto fell with thp most crush
ing force were the Western
and Southern men who last
summer voted for the repeal
of the Sherman law and eX.
pected that when the Presi
dent was given the opportu-
nifty to do something for sill

sacrifice they had made for

the Presidents approval OF
the bill would give them u ley
to stand on. SO to speak.
when they went before their
constituents in The fall elec-
tions. Now they have lost
everything, and are in t. h e
depths OF despair
Senator Bate, of Tennessee,
says:
II am sure that the Presi-
dent fully appreciates thefact
that seven-eights Of the votes
of democracy were in favor OF
the passage of the Bland bill.
y = The men who repre-
sent the democratic partynre
plainly and unequivocally d.

both gold and silver az the

try, and the platform on
which they were elected calls
Tor the C oinage OF both gold
and silver at the minis with
out .'iscri .ninatlon against
either metal. This is the re-
al issue.
"How does the veto effect
the democratic party?' was
asked OF Mr.. Bry all, OF Ne
braska.
(which is the democratic
party?' was the q1ick reply,
Mr.. Cleveland or the people
who elected him? The States
which gave Mr.. Cleveland
more than two-thirds Of his
electoral votes gave only six
democratic votes against the
seigniorage in both House
and Senate. Do the people
of these States know W b a t
sound finance requires, or
does Mr.. Cleveland alone un-
derstand the question? 1t is
a contest between the North

the iaea entertained by the
rest Of the country, and it
must be fought out at the

The Atlanta Constitution
Says:
"We call the attention OF
our contemporary to the fact
that American silver dollars
the d oIlars that Wall street
regards rs dishonest ARE
at par with gold in the Euro
pean markets to-day. 1t is
trne that few of them find
their way abroad, but those
that do are at par with gold.
Why? Let it not be hastily
said that they are at par in
Europe because they are re-
deemable d in gold at home.
That is not the case. 1t is
true they are not inronverti-
Die by law as the French five
frame pieces are, but they are
not convertible into gold by
law. Under the law that has
been violated by the treasury
policy, silver dollars are mon
ey Of final payment. They
are at par in Europe because
of their purchasing power at
home"
The Atlanta Constitution,
one of the ablest of newspa-
pers and very strong in it's
financial discussions, says.
IA Democratic Congress, de
celved and misled by it's con-
fidence in the Executive, has
wiped silver out of our cur
rency as the money of final
payment and esta blished the
single gold standard. And
now the people are told that.
there can be no more ad-
di!ions to their currency un.
less there is also an issue of
bonds.
The emergency calls for the
courage and patriotism OF
an Andrew Jackson, but the
man who STANDS in Andrew
Jackson's shoes has pructi-
cally turned the peoples

finances over to the organic
ed money power of Wall
street.

THAT FILTRATION REPORT.

The Council, as it had right to do,
last evening declined TO print the report
of Mr.. WESTON on filtration.
While much of the opposition TO the
printing of the report is due to the fact
that its conclusions favor one method OF
filtration in preference TO another, 1t is
also true that the filtration matter Is for
the present dropped and perhaps there
is no immediate necessity for printing
the valuable report
Filtration, however, is not dead
issue so long as the people OF Providence
are compelled to drink the vile Paw
tuxet, and when it is taken up actively
again Mr.. WEsroN's report viii, of
course, be printed. 1t cost the city of
Providence upward of $4,000 to
assemble the material involved
in the report and the docu-
ment is must valuable contribu-
tion TO the literature of filtration. The
city owes it to itself and to the country
at large to put the result of this expert
investigation into convenient folm for
reference. Never mind for which
method its deductions furnish argument.

DRUNK. BUT POLITE.

TO think that he can remedy
all their ills some funny char
acters crop up now and then.
One Of the queerest OF those who have
recently called was q drunken stickler Tor
etiquette who approached Executive
Secretary Jennings IN most mysterious
manner and with a Chest ertieldian air
requested admittance, between his hic-
coughs, to the Governors private office.
He was firmly, but politely denied, where
upon he sat him down to wait. just then
he. heard the voices of His Exceliency
and a lady TO whom sn audience had been
granted. Without warning the inebriate
darted into the private Office, exclaiming,
"Give me your and, GovernorV
Here intercepted Mr.. Jennings, "do
you know what you are doing? Did not
tell you that you could not see the Cover

The man wheeled about, as only drunken
men can, and wiping bis mouth with a
back-action movement OF his whole hand,
leered at Brother Jennings. etiquette,
young man, etiquette! How could 1 be
a-listenin' TO their conversation and they
not know was here? BE very impolite,

KILL lit,

lt Is TO be hoped that the Republicans
In Congress will exhaust every expedient
known in the art of legislative obstruc-
tion to kill the Carlisle currency bill, or
at least prevent its enactment so that
the next Congress may kill it.
Tie scheme the bill seeks to embody
in law is crude and insufficient to the
point of criminal ignorance. 1t is
designed to pander to the silveriies, and
keep them attached to the Democratic
party, and open an avenue of great profit
for the banks, and so lay the foundations
for grea. political fund with which to
fight the 1896 campaign.
The fundamental principle of any cur
rency-reform plan must be the retire
ment of the present legal-tender notes.
Without that, any scheme is no better
than chaff. Mr.. CARLISLE makes no
provision for the retirement of these
notes, except to authorize the Secretary
Of the Treasury to employ any surplus he
may have for that purpose.
This is ridiculously insufficient. 1t
shows the extent of Mr. CARLIsLE's in
appreciation of the needs of theeeantry,
and his inability to grasp the import
ance of the task be has SO confidently
taken in hand
Mr.. CARI.IsLE's bill, without definite
and unchangable provision for taking
tho Iaoul tau1aro ont nf tha ,,,a,, o.1..
suggests further aggravation of exist
ing currency troubles. 1t would initiate
the currency, while furnishing no un-
failing means of reducing the volume
when necessary.
1t would bring greater volume of
silver into use, and that would be a
misfortune TO silver itself. as it would
tend TO remove the necessity for an
international agreement and force Am
erica TO bear too great a proportion of
the silver burden. 1t would also intro
duce larger element of un certainty
into our currency below the $1O-bill
grade.
The bill in other particulars is seri-
ously defective, but the disposition of
the banking committee to allow Con-
gress 10 bolt ii uualtered seems to argue
that Mr.. CLEVELAND is 90 have his way
in tie lower House, so far as the Demo-
Gratis are concerned.
The whole currency reform scheme is
half baked. No study worth mention
ing has been given il by either
the President, Mr.. CARLISLE or Mr..
ECKELs, yet all these eminent gentlemen
have been able to definitely formulate
schemes to do what lifelong fiuanciers
deeia - very Il fiicult and delicate thing,
They have brought to the cons deration
of this great question ali the confidence
bred of ignorance and conceit, and they
usk Congress 10 rut the seal Of it's ap-
proval upon what they do not know and
let the country experiment.
Itis a wild aud hare-brained scheme.

Somebody told the innocent Journal
lambkin that the General Assembly were
pack of guys aud that they had no
more idea of repealing the obnoxious
feature of the pool law than they had
of eating four Of Or. GREENE's
round mince pies at one
sitting in the State House lobby. Then
he filled him up with the idea of abolish
ing the State Fair altogether because
horse gambling pays better than State
Fairs. Aud then that innocent Journal
reporter put all that into print.
Today more evidence is given that the
seducer Of the reportorial cerebellum
has again been at work. The Journal
reporter again takes up the pool law and
shows TO his owp satisfaction that the
trolley car company and the railroads
will fight against repeal, because repeal
means considerable loss of revenue to
them which has come from carrying the
sports 0ht 90 and back from Narragan-
sett Park.
Why not follow this campaign up on
this line? 1t is a glorious opportunity,
Mr.. Somebody. OF course, the Consol-
idated, and the New England, and the
Traction Company will join with
the horse gamblers TO lobby
against the repeal of the pool law-they
will, in your minds eye. Why not
strengthen this imposing lobby by
throwing in a few hotel men, too? They
made meney from the sporting carnival.
even discounting the cost Of boarding
some of the sports at Cransson who went
broke and couldn't pay their hotel bills.
The hotel men are good fellows and we
hope they made pile. Then there are
the theater managers, too. They made
good money" out of the gambling
carnival. Let them join the lobby. In
fact the butcher, the baker and the can
dlestickmaker all over town will all lose
some revenue from the repeal
of the pool law, Why aren't they as
much interested as the railroad men?
What do they say about it? Just fill The
Journal reporter up with this idea, Mr..
Somebody. He'll print it, you may be
sure. He'll print anything he believes
in and he Is more sensitive to impress
sions than tutti-frutti chewing gum.
Fill him up while you can, Mr.. Some
body Pull his elastic leg-stretch it
way out. The General Assembly meets
on the Goth OF January next and after
that it will be too late to pull the leg of
even SO guileless thing as a
Journal reporter The obnoxious
section of the roll law will be
repealed and there won't be much OPP
position to it, either. The vote for
repeal will be so big that even Journal
reporter will be able to see it, and, if he
has any strength left, to record it.
