cause it has been less affected, relatively,
by the discoveries and improvements in
the arts and sciences.
There Is no other general and universal
unit for the measure of value than a
days labor. Silver iron, wheat and gold
have deprecated because the same
amount Of labor viii produce greater
quantity of those commodities now than IL
produced twenty years ago 1t is wrong
to assert that the price Of gold must be
fixed or unfxed, by the prices Of more
rapidly changing commodities The
true method is to fix the price Of gold by
labor, then because gold is the next most
convenient and current, and at the same
time a universal measure, to accept that
as the standard and keep It, as the best
standard known, for as long period as
possible
When that era dawns when gold shall
be used as ballast for ships, as the
writer suggests we shall have
to find some other standard. There Is
no immediate danger of that, and, mean
time, this timid and tentative silverit,
should make up his mind, finally, not tc
jump into the silver chasm, for he viii
surely break his leg.

HUMAN HYENAs.

The manifesto issued against the
Coxeytes by the commissioners of Wash.
ington says that mo possible good can
come Of such gathering No
wrong can be righted, no condition of
labor amellorated" And, continuing. the
manifesto says ut is no remedy for any
existing evil"
These propositions are sensible and in.
controvertible. There is no conceivable
reason why a large or small body of
tramps and vagrants should be treated
differently from one tramp or one vaga-
bond The laws Of the cities are usually
effective In taking care of one tramp,
who has no visible means of support,
and there is no reason why the same
laws should not be applied TO body Of
tramps
The fact is body OF tramps is worse
than a single tramp. There is more dan
ger TO the good order and peace of city
from body of tramps than from one
tramp As body,t the tramps are able to
support and encourage each other In
disorder; being organized, the strength of
each individual tramp in the body stands
Tor more than the strength-which is the
power Of doing harm-of each tramp
composing the body than it would stand
for in a single tramp The wise old
Romans illustrated this by bundle of
sticks A single stick was easily broken.
a bundle Of sticks tied together they used
as the symbol Of power
For that reason the treatment Of a
body Of tramps should be more drastic
than the treatment Of one tramp. The
existence of the body itself is a threat
against the peace and good order Of any
city.
There is no escape from the conclusion
that they are gathered together for q
bad-not for a wholesome or peaceablt
purpose. There IS no avoidance then, OF
the conclusion that they must not bc
treated tentatively, but that the utmost
decision and rigor, If necessary, must b,
applied to disperse or dislodge them. 81
long as they remain in a body with tn,
common sentiment even Of beggary only
they constitute a threat against tn,
peace and good order Of any community
That is sufficient Anything thar
threatens the peace and good order of
city must be suppressed. There is no ex
cuse or pslliation for It.
What these men may do afterwards a
individual citizens, or what good cltizen
may do for them is another thing. II tn
good citizens choose, individually, an,
each man for himself, to hnd work 70
the tramps, then the solution Of tn
tramp question is attained. Nobody ha
any objection TO such a solution, bu
until they shall have dispersed and gone Z
work the authorities have no other choic
than to dislodge or d.sperse them. The
are disorderly and dangerous they are
z menace TO civilization
Z The pallistions and excuses which ma
s be made for them are tridlng and non
sensical. AS body Of trsmps they hav
40 more right of existence than a lo
Of hyenas have to roam at large throug
the streets of city. II the tlamps can
not be brought any nearer to a state q

- they are 10 be treated like hyenas.

A TlMlp slLveRlTe.

An article in the Dover Delawsrean on
The fall in Prices and the Standard of
Value" is notable for two reasons. It Is
we'll written aud temperate; it is seasi.
bls and not vituperative Those are the
only concentrations that we can allow
for, the article impresses us as meaning
what it does not say, as a fine example
Of the art Of saying a great deal without
telling anything.
IL seems TO be written by an advocate
II the double standard" impossibility
gho does not announce that fallacy. 1t
,s surely written by silverite who

AS a silverite the writer has not

There is hope for him when he merely
peeps over the precipiee. AS double

OF course it is difficult TO reply to such
a tentative article, but go far as it at.
tempts to prove "that gold has ap.
precisted or risen in value in the last
twenty years, and that its appreciation
OF rise in value is necessarily measured
by the decline in value or fall in price.
Of other commodities in genera" we objsci
aud deny. The change, if any, which hal
occurred in the value of gold is Oh,
same change which has taken place in th'
values OF other commodities--it hai
become cheaper That must be true, be
cause gold is commodity whose price il
regulated by the same laws which regu-
late all other commodities. The onl,
difference is in the degree Of change.

SILVER PEppLERs.

The trouble with the silver men Is
thst they are embarrassed with more
silver than they can market Their
notions and vagaries, and now and then
their knowledge of finance, have no more
to do with the currency than surplus
Of wool or Of wheat has. II they could
think Of any other way Of disposiug Of
their surplus silver they would not
bother us and disturb the country
any more than the wool or the
wheat men do. All OF the branches
Of the silverltes the donble standard

men and the siegniorage straw grabbers
have a handful or a hRlful Of silver and

answer the question, What Will He Do

such original propositions as:
We need more currency; what is the
best currency2
How can we improve our currency
What Is the best circulating medium?
There are many questions like
these which could be debated TO
the benefit Of all citizens They
come, bringing their various large
supplies Of silver and small supplies Of
sense, hoping TO use the latter, to dispose
Of the former. They offer as many schemes
for foistlng their silver upon MS as the
Jew peddler used to induce Moses" in
She Vicar OF Wakefield" to buy the
gross Of green goggles. "Moses" sold q
useful nag at the fair and got, in return,
a gross Of worthless green goggles

same as the object of the silver

radical contrast to that Of other Senators
that we quote what he says:
There are several features iu the bin

not desire to have In it, but, because ]
was overruled on that point, did not
therefore feel at liberty to join the Re
publican members Of the committee, re-
port no bill at all, defeat all proposed

ley law TO remain on our statute books
It is not 50 strange that Senator voor
hees should support the bill arranged by
the Democratic Ways and Means Com
mittee, but the philosophy Of the loyalt,
of those who could assume any Other
position is rendered phenomenal and un
accountable by It. II, because Senator
Voorhees, does not like some particular pro
vision Of the bill, he does not feel warranted
TO turn against his party In assisting

COAL SUPPLY FAILING.
Mr.. McBryde Says Only Three
Weeks Stock Is on Hand.
THE STRIKERS RANKS INCREASING

1t Is Now Estimated That There Are 1885,
45O Coal Miners out-CoIse Workers Fall
ing In Line-No Mining Until All Agree
to Pay the Price.
Columns, O., April 25.-The national
officers of the United Mine Workers expect
a complete shutdown of all the coal mines
on May !, when the contracts of n large
number of miners who are now at work
will expire. The estimate of the total
number Of strikers given out by President
McBryde is 1856 450-an addition to the
ranks of about 1000.
Effects of the strike are beginning to be
felt in every section of the country, and
President McBryde says there is not more
chan three weeks supply Of coal on hand
in any region. This, the miners officers
predict, will make the strike Of short dura-
tlon.
kilograms have poured into the national
headquarters all day from operators ask-
ing permission to work mipes at the prices
demanded under certain conditions. In
every instance these requests have been
denied, President McBryde saying the or
der for suspension adopted by the miners
especially specified that no coal should be
loaded. Only repair work about the mines
Is allowed under any circumstances.
Cutting or the supply.
It is by cutting off the supply Of coal al
together that the miners hope to bring the
operators to terms.
At a meeting of coal miners at Leech-
burg, Pa, delegates representing 5000
miners who have not heretofore been con-
nected with the National Miners union
asked that they be organized and declared
In favor of a strike.
This will take out practically all the
Pennsylvania railroad miners along the
Kiskemintis river. The strikers claim that
this new move will tie up the West Penn
sylvan railroad entirely within two or
three days, and as the Pennsylvania main
line from Altoona east depends for coal
supply on these pits the situation may be-
come embarrassing for the whole Penn
| sylvania system east. Elsewhere in the
| Pennsylvania district the situation re
mains unchanged, with both sides watch
ful at every point. The coke region is
coming into line with the strikers, and the
men claim that the whole region will be
out today.
