GIVING SILVER AWAY.

A contemporary which has claimed to be
an advocate of bimetallism says:
At present the silver dollar OF the United
States is a mere token. and for all practical
purposes it might as we'll be tin as silver.
So the goldbugs say. TIE recent issue
OF bonds was demanded on the ground that
regarding the silver dollars as so much tin
there was not enough money in the treas
ury to redeem paper with. The admins
tratiOn and the Chronicle have at least one
point in common. AT the same lime the
silver dollars are legal tender. The act
OF 1878 made them so and that act has
never been repealed.
Our obfuSticated contemporary says
also that little opposition will be made TO
the Bland bill by the active goldbugs of
the country. Possibly since the Chronicle
has accepted the administration view o.
the status of the silver dollar it may have

THE SENATE TARIFF BILL.

There are points of differences between
the bill just reported by the Senate
Finance Committee and the bill that COM
mittee received from the House. The
most conside rable changes are in the
matter of raw maj erial. The House very
nearly swept away all duties on all varie-
ties of raw material that enter into manu-
features The Senate bill gives iron ore
40 cents ton, wool % per cent ad valoren.
sugar. Sc degrees or under, polariscope
test. 1 cent pound. and bituminous coal
30 cents per ton. These are staples upon
which the greatest fight has been made. If
the HOuse acce pts the Senate bill the
votes of several Senators which have
been in doubt will be secured for the bill.
AS the Democratic majority in the House
is larger than in the Senate, the prospect
Of the final passage of the bill is i'm
proved by the work of the Senate COM
mittee The bill as 1t now stands gives
California some consideration, but by no
means what our people want. 1t offers
no adequate protection TO our industries.
One provision of the bill which should
certainly be struck out is that directing
the President to give notice Of the termna-
ton OF the treaty of reciprocity between
the United States and Hawaii. A ter
mination of that treaty would not only
threaten the large commerce which now
exists between the two countries. but it
would be regarded as an indication OF
policy on the part of the United States.
1t would be equivalent to serving notice
on the Provisional Government that the
United States takes no interest in the
islands that is not common in all friendly
nations. Should this notice be served, the
Hawaiian Government would be at lib
erty TO form such other alliances as it
might consider to its interest The Ha-
waiian clause was doubtless inserted to
please Cleveland, and will most probably
be taken out to please the people.

RAILROAD FAILURES.

Quite naturally the fact that one-sixth of
the railroad mileage Of The country has
passed into the hands of receivers inspires
railroad apolOgists to explain why this
particular branch Of business should be SO
sensitive to temporary Industrial de-
preston. Mr.. Simon Sterne makes The
Forum magazine the medium If putting
his IDEAS on this subject before the public.
Mr.. Sterne admits lack of ability on the
part Of railroad managers. The railroad
system has developed rapidly and in many
cases in advance OF the development of
capacity In the men who had set them
going. 1t IS a case of a slow-going old
farmer who got behind racehorse in
blissful ignorance MOI only of the procliyi-
ties OF that particular horse but of all
others of his class. While there NAV be
something in this theory there is much
more In an explanation that explains.
Railroads have gone into the hands of re-
ceivers on depreciation of 8 per cent OF
ordinary gross earnings for The simple rea-
son THAI fixed expenses have been made
much greater than they need to have been.
Railroad builders and managers have not
been content with interest on the capital
paid in in addition to salaries greatly in
excess OF compensation OF Justice of
the United States Supreme Court, but they
have appropriated stock that cost them
nothing and issued bonds in excess of the
cost OF the road. This excessive capitali-
cation compels high rates and the demands
for interest and dividends necessiia,e a
continuous floating debt. The company
swims along when the current is in its
favor, but goes under when there is the

A HINT FOR THE FAIR.

AS the season advances the influx of
Eastern people to see the fair swells in
dimensions. Everybody in the East who
can afford 1t will come here this spring to
witness the midwinter show, which spTang
like magic out Of the ground, and which,
although it is not yet complete, sometimes
strikes visitors as Bit of FARMLAND. The
season, too, is favorable for travel to Cali
fOrnia. In many parts of the East March
and A pril are dismal months-cOld. rainy
and raw. Here they are generally delight
full 1t is odds that our sleeping accom-
modatiOns this spring Will fail short of the
demand.
OF one attraction the fair managers do
not appear to have thought. and yet it was
very popular at Chicago. That is food for
the mind as we'll as treats for the eye.
The Chicago managers took advantage of
the fair to invite the brightest minds from
all parts of the country 10 speak their saw
on some topic of general interest. The
talks or addresses, or lectures, as they
were called. were largely attended and
were not the least agreeable features of
the show. The Congress Of Religions and
the Woman's Congress were crowded and
some Of the things which were heard by
IUo duuI0uCcS Will Oo LeHleW DereO per-
haps after the fair itself has been forgot
ten. Without aiming as high as an inter-
national debate the managers of our fair
might arrange for a few short talks by
competent men. and if they get the right
men on the rostrum they would add to the
show a feature that would be pleasing and
instructive.
The success OF Midwinter Fairs ly-
ceum bureau would depend on the takers
who were invited to speak. People would
not go to hear barrel lecturers, who whip
twice-thrashed straw and say nothing
which their hearers have not heard before.
They would not crowd hall 10 hear dis
courses which they can hear once week
In The usual places. They would pot flock
to listen to orations on stale subjects. AT
Chicago the lair managers enlisted the
services Of bright men. who had new
things 10 say and who knew how TO say
them in bright, sparkling. amusing way.
Cannot our fair people secure the aid of
such takers?
Human knowledge is advancing so rap
idly and so many of the opinions of the
past are being discarded as obsolete and
unsound that one vino is really abreast of
the times can find hundred subjects on
which something new may be said. Ii the
fair managers should think we'll of the
idea of lyceum bureau it wolld behoove
them to remember that men and women
are free agents. and that they would not

FLORIDA ORANGES.

The Boston Herald says that Florida
oranges have this year taken the place
formerly occupied by the Sicily fruit.
The Importation Of the foreign fruit is only
one-tlird as large as it was year ago.
The Herald adds:
The variety of this fruit in quality is matched
by its variety In prices. and its excellence is
such hat people who use the Florida oranges
once use them again. Tie production this
year will be $500. 600 boxes, and 1t is e>tima ed
that shortly IL Will amount to 100000 a
year.
There is one obstacle in the way of the
supply of The people Of the Atlantic States
with Florida and California oranges, and
that is the cost OF freight. From the
Mediterranean Sea to Atlantic ports is all
water transportation, while from CallfOr-
MIA there Is about the same distance of
land travel. But when the consumer lives
a considerable distance from the Atlantic
Coast the freight charges are more nearly
e0uallZed

BENhAM Is THERE.

The BRAZILIAN insurgents have lot only
fired upon the British flag. but taken a
man from BRUSH vessel and forced him
into the insurgent service. There was no
British vessel in the harbOr to appeal TO
for protection and consequently the Bril-
ish captain had TO comply with the liz
snrgent demands. There Is something
wrong with British representatives in Rio.
The time has been when the slightest Of
fe Sc TO the British fig set the whole
Foreign Office in motion. and if ex lana
lions were not satisfactory fleet of war
ships would be directed toward the Offend
ing port. The change in policy is very
likely due to certain secret relations the
British Government: is presumed TO hold
with the insurgents. But Admiral Ben
ham is in RIO haTbor and may continue to
protect otherwise unprotected British
merchantmen.
