A Mothers Look.

The following touching incident is re-
lated by Jesuit Father: 81 have known
a student whose deso'ate and wicked life
caused hi N to be cast into chains and to
be locked up in the Enrembretstein His
father was long since dead. His mother.
therefore, had to bear alone the grief
caused by her degenerate child. 1t is
difficult to express how kesnly it gnawed
on the mothers beart; in the sonl Of the
criminal, however, it was and remain=d
as dark as in the prison where he was
chained; not the least sign Of repentance
No wonder that such sorrow which, by
day and. by night, afflicted the poor
mother Il the impanitent son, lay ON her
bed of death. Seeing the hour OF disso-
luton approach she sent a petition 10
the commander Of the fortress to bring
her child once more before her dying bed
He granted her request. The next day
the SON appeared escorted by armed sol,
diers, at the bed of his mother. But she,
pale and consumed with grief, spoke no

CLOTURE IN THE SENATE.

The movement in the United States
Senate to change the rules which have
so long held sway in that body and
which permit indefinite debate, ought
to be supported by every Democrat in
that august assembly Republicans
should unite with their political op-
ponents in so necessary and sensible a
reform. But as it originates with the
party in power, it is likely that they
will oppose it and particularly its inn
mediate application
There are two extremes on this cues
ton. each Of which is to be avoided.
One is the present loose and tiresome
method Of conducting business in the
Senate, which causes needless delay
and permits factious distractions as
long as either party for or against a
measure may choose to continue it. The
other is the scheme TO shut off the full
and free expression, on both sides, of
opinions in regard to a matter of pub
lie moment
That the time Of the Senate, which is
the time of the public, can be wasted in
frivolous contention, week after week
and month after month, when all that
is necessary to throw light on pend
ing question has been shed, and all that
remains is to darken counsel by words
without knowledge and hinder legisla-
ton that cannot be legitimately de-
feated has received many unpleasant
Illustrations and none more forcible
than the tactics displayed during the
tariff debate of the last session.
On the other hand, to place it within
the power of either party to prevent
the opposition from fully showing up
their side of the arguu1tnt and exposing
what they look upon as error. would
be tyrannicaf and injudicious and
against the public interest.
The rules of the Senate, then, should
he so framed that cloture can be re-
sorted to after reasonable opportunities
have been afforded for the full consid-
Grafton of any public question before

SILVER AS COIN.

How ridiculous it is for writers on
finance to waste whole columns of
space, in arguments based on the
patent fallacy that silver coin in the
United States is only token money,
and no different to paper money!
Every silver dollar coined in this
country is not only worth it's face
value as money, but it needs no re-
demption as paper notes do. 1t stands
on its own merits. 1t is worth one
dollar in gold as cash. 1t must be
taken when offered as a dollar for
public dues of all kinds, and for pri-
vate dues unless there is a special OBJ
legation to pay in gold. 1t is not a
promise to pay but payment itself, and
the only trouble about it is that there
are not more of its kind and that sill
yer in bulk is not coined for the owner
as it could be before 1873.
That is the only difference between
silver and gold before the law. They
are Interchangeable on an equality in
this country. Unless there is a con-
tract to the contrary, silver coin must
be received on a debt equal with gold,
and is legal tender in payment for all
purchases.
What is desired is, that silver may
be taken to the minis or received by
the government wherever designated,
and coined into money without limita-
ton or charge for mintage, at the pres
ent ratio with gold, and that it shall
be equal with gold in every respect as
a legal tender for every kind OF debt
or demand. This must not affect past
contracts as to gold payments, but
would place the two metals side by
side as the money Of the United States
with no advantage of one over the
other except as to relative value.
Silver coin is not now made redeem
able in gold, but stands as United
States coin in its own right. When
statements are made to the contrary,
they not only deceive people who do
not understand the facts, but they dis
gust the well-informed and do harm in
stead of good to the silver cause.

Democrats viii once, more come to the
front. -
In Utah the probabilities are still
more encouraging for the Democratic
party and that as early as 1895. The
votes cast this year on their side may
be counted on as solid supporters of
Democratic principles. On the other
side were cast some from the uncer-
| tain. non-partisan element, few from
| influences which need not be more
specifically referred TO. some because
lof the hard times enormously attrib-
uted to the rule of Democracy and the
mass Of votes formerly cast for the
Liberal candidate. About five per cent
gained from the Republican vote will
give the Democratic party the VIC
tory.
We say to our party friends the out
look is greatly encouraging for Utah
and by no means discouraging for the
whole country. The Democracy must
guard against divisions, keep up
thorough organization, spread abroad
1.-THE principles of Democratic govern
ment and profit by the lessons OF the
past. Above all see to it that the stay
at-homes are brought to the front.

wrLLIAM.s EccENrRrcrTrEs.

| Few rnonarchs in modern times
have been more imbued with the idea
of the divine rights of kings than
Emperor William. He seems to nave

| by any one In this age kings ana
ernperors seem an anamoly at best, at
least here in America, but when tine
medieval idea of them takes posses
sion of those who wear crowns tney
really appear grotesque
| 1t is said that William has become
seized of a. mania on this subject.
THE old Berlfners are beginning to
recall his great grandfather, Frederlck
| William w, and how his menUai oe-
cline began. and say the Emperor Is
commencing the same way. 1t as SAID
that the historian T1-eiscihkes BOOKS

madness of one of the Emperors an

zen of Hamburg had the temerTty TO

All these doings are in the line OF tine

other day, having been watching the
progress of events at ST. Petersburg

of notice, he appeared at his mothers
residence in Rumpenheirn, to tell her
how great was his chagrin that his
grandmother's cabinet should be pur-
suing a policy calculated, if not in

THE sTAY-AT-HoMEs.

When the landslide Of 1892 struck the
position as the dominant power in ma
tional politics, the catastrophe was at
tributed more to the failure of Re
publicans to go to the polls, than tc
the preponderance of Democratic vot-
ers and other supporters of the tariff
policy on which the campaign was
fought. There may have been some
truth in the claim, though the fact re-
manned that the Republican party was
turned down and the Democratic party
was set up to conduct the affairs of
the nation.
At the avalanche of 1894 the situation
was partly reversed. The COMPRESSION
al supremacy of the Democratic party
was cut short to the limit of two years,
altogether insufficient to give it OBJ
portunity to undo the wrongs of three
decades, and to inaugurate the reforms
which are essential to national pros
perity. And it appears that the same
rule set up by the Republicans as to
the cause of their defeat, has equal ap-
plication to the later case.
1t has been figured out by a prom
inent census official and able Stats
tician, that the non-voting voters were
greater this year than ever before.
Here is an extract from his report on
the subject:
This stay-at-home vote has increased
in New York from $4,000 in 1888, to 1885,
900 in 1892, and to $4,000 this year. In
Pennsylvania it was 10000 in 1888, 230.-
600 in 1892, and 100000 this year 1t has
increased in Ohio from 10000 in 1883 to
lis, 600 in 1892, and 100000 this year. In
Michigan there were 100000 stay-at-
homes this year, 10000 in 1883 and 1885,
900 in 1892. South Carolina, when she
had $4,000 less voters than at present,
cast 1S3, GIL votes for Hayes and Tilden.
while this year her total vote is not
much over 100000 or about one-fourth
of her full vote. Wisconsin has not
polled for the Democratic candidates so
small a vote for twenty-five years. nor
has the Democratic party in Pennsyl-
vania received SO few votes in half a
century.
Going over the registration and CEN
sus statistics, he sums up the total of
stay-at-home voters as about 5.1OO. coo,
and concludes that the election was
lost to the Democrats through the fail
ure of so many to vote, rather than
from the actual votes for the Repub-
lican candidates. Take the s. 100. 900 not
voting, with the 100000 Populist and
the 100000 Republican votes with
those that were scattering, and there
are 100000, as against the 1920 600
cast for the Democrats.
It is evident that the stay-at-homes
did the business, probably in both in
stances. though the fact remains that
no matter what the cause, whether
positive or negative, the result was the
same in each case. And the argument
is fair that neither can be counted on
as the final verdict of the country.
Democrats in several states are conf
dent of a reversal of this years re-
suit in 1896. when the disgruntled
