The Outlook for Morgan.

/ There was not the same unanimity and
heartiness in the Endorsements given
/ Senator Morgan by the state democratic
[ convention Of Alabama as there was in
7 the Endorsement given Mr.. Cleveland and
his administration. 1t was evident that
there was a great deal of hostility to the
senator, and this hostility may increase
greatly before the meeting of the legisla-
ture.
/ The opposition to Senator Morgan
grows out of his position on the silver
question. 1t is understood that he favors
making the coinage of silver free at once,
at the existing ratio without regard
to the effect such action would
have upon silver currency. The silver
plank in the platform adopted by the Ala
bama convention says: We all believe
in the free coinage of silver whenever it
can be done consistently with the main
tenance of sound and safe currency"
According to the foregoing all Alabama
democrats are for sound money. They
want the coinage of silver made free, but
not until it is absolutely certain that a
silver dollar under free coinage would
have the same debt paying power as a
gold dollar. In other words, they don't
want a debased silver currency.
It is doubtful if there is
any considerable number of demo
Gratis in Alabama who are against
this view of the silver question. 1t is in
harmony with the silver plank of the
national democratic platform, and with
the silver plank of the platform adopted
last week by the democrats of Missouri
MIR. Bland undertook to get the democrats
of Missouri to adopt a silver plank like
thatwhich appears in the platform of the
populists, and failed
If Senator Morgan persists in holGing
the views he does on the silver question
he may find 1t difficult to secure a re-
election. His personal popularity and
his long service in the Senate may help
him greatly, but it is evident the dem
ocrats of Alabama are for sound money.
And the democrats OF every other south
ern state are in favor of sound money. A
good many of them have misunderstood
the silver question, and some of them do
yet, but eventually they will get a correct
knowledge Of it. They have been led to
believe that the administration is opposed
to silver. They are finding out that it is
not. 1t is only opposed to debased cur
rency. 1t wants the coinage of silver
made free whenever it can be made so
without endangering the soundness of
the currency. 1t insists upon SOUND
money--the kind of money that every
farmer and every workman wants-and
that is the kind of money that the dem
ocrats of the south insist upon.

Small Business.

The House engaged in very small bust
ness on Tuesday when it voted to make no
appropriation for the mem bers of the civil
service commission and their employees.
1t knew very well that its action was not
sincere. 1t has no intention of rendering
imperative the civil service reform laws
and going back to the spoils system. The
Democratic party could not afford to
shoulder the responsibility of doing that
As much as many of the leaders of
either party would like 10 see the civil
service reform system abandoned and the
spells system reinstated neither party
dares to take position against civil SER
vice reform. The House therefore acted
like lot of school children when it voted
not to make an appropriation for the
salaries Of the civil service commission
ers
The House was guilty of the same sort
of foolishness when it voted to put
sugar on the free list and repeal
the sugar bounty. 1t knew that the Sen
ate would never agree to anything of
that kind, and if it had believed it would
it would not have voted as it did. 1t is
about time for the House to stop such
nonsense and act with more dignity
Civil service reform is here to stay.
The people believe in it. They appreci-
ate the danger there is in changing 10O,-
600 or more employees every time there is
a change in the political complexion of
the administration, and the number of
employees is steadily increasing.
The spells system did very well as long
as the number of employees was compare
lively small but the evils that would flow
from it with such vast army of en-
ployes as there is at present would be
constant menace TO our institutions
This whole question of civil service re
form. however, was thoroughly discussed
at the time the reform was adopted The
conclusion in respect to it was not reached
hastily, and when it was reached it had
the approval of both the great political
parties.
There is no danger whatever that the
reform will be dropped, and the House is
simply wasting time in voting to starve
out the civil service com missioners.

Mucn OF bn6 OppOSlLlOn TO the cOnfIma-
tion of Charles H. J. Taylor, colored, as
recorder of deeds for the District of Co
lumbia came from republican senators
representing New England states, and
was based, ostensibly, on the ground that
the district should be allowed to furnish
its own oficeholders. Their opposition.
there is every reason to believe, was hypo-
critical. for the New England republicans
have professed a great desire to see the
colored brother honored with public office.
and their party kept Blanche K. Bruce. a
black man, in the identical office to which
Taylor was appointed, for years. Their
fight against Taylor was because of his
politics. He is a democrat. His confirm
alton, recorded in our dispatches yester-
day, was the proper ending for the kind
of fight that had been made against him.
A "weil-known labor leader of Wash
idgton told newspaper man a day or
two ago that Gen. CoXey, to his knowl-
edge, is several thousand dollars ahead"
from his movement, in addition to the
worldwide notoriety he has obtained
The labor leader says CoXey has received
checks, postal notes and currency in
small amounts daily ever since he left
Massillon from sympathizing people in
all parts of the country, and that in the
aggregate the sums reach between $4,000
and $4,000. He has probably spent one
third of the amount received, which
would leave him handsome net profit on
his venture.
The president of one of the largest and
most important savings banks in New
YORK is quoted as saying that banks like
his are just getting back to their normal
condition for the first time since the
panic. He notes, however, that the new
deposits that the banks are receiving are
not from the working class. and says
that is the worst feature of the situation.
