EDITORIAL NOTES.

Names are coming off every week
because the subscribers forget torenew.
Dear reader yours may be the next.
Senator Jarvis has developed into a
letter writer of the most persistent sort.
He will Barr the title Of Letter go
jarvis before he beats Ransom out of
his socks.
We are glad to learn from the Asso-
ciated Press that Admiral Da Cana,
of Brazil, has escaped again. He has
escaped about SO times in-the past
three months.
In the matter of eulogies, Senator
Ransom is a success. His eulogy on
the death of Senator Vance was a fine
effort. But when it comes to legisla
tion-welI, that is another matter.
Editor Stead's book entitled eff
Christ Should Come to Chicago" will
have a formidable rival in one entitled
eff Coxey Should Come to Washing
ton" by the authorities of the District
of Columbia.
It is understood that Grover won't
go fishing this week. Coxey will give
him something else to think about.
Coxey is a greater man now than
Grover or Benjamin. He is talked
about more, anyway.
When the editor of a paper published
in a small town gets a communication
signed ''many voters" suggesting the
name Of the editor for the Office of
mayor, the editor rarely refuses to in
sert the article because it is not accom-
panied by ever n responsible name.
Speaking Of the various plans to get
and keep a quorum in Congress, the
Durham Globe remarks: After a while,
each congressman will be accompanied
by a guardian who will carry him to
the House every day, and lock him in
his chair, rs we tie infants in red high
chairs at the table.
Steps have been taken to protect the
U. S. Treasury while Coxey's men are
in Washington, but we hear of nc
efforts to protect it against the hauls
made by Wall street and London bank
ers. They take more in a month than
it would require to make all of Coxey's
army fairly well off.
A primary election in one of the
Louisiana Congressional districts to
elect a Congressman to fill out an un-
expired term, shows that the voters
stand 25 to 1 in favor of free coinage
and an income tax. Whereupon the
Richmond Times (gold bug asks if the
South has gone mad.
Some Of the Democratic brethren
think that the party need not endorse
nor repudiate the administration en-
tireiy-endOrse it a little and ~repudiate
it a little. Very nice arrangement.
We suggest the following as one way
to get out of the difficulty. Pass this
resolution in the State convention:
ssResolved, that we still believe Presi-
dent Cleveland weighs more than Tom
thumb; that his backbone is about
two feet In diameter, somewhat larger
than a telegraph pole, and that he is
stiII in sympathy with a majority of
j party in Wall street."

THE CHICAGO SILVER PLANK.

For thirty years every Democratic
National platform has declared for free
coinage of silver. A majority of the
State platforms have done the same
thing time after time. The financial
plank of 1892 has been construed in
many ways. In the South and West
it meant free coinage; in the East "bi-
metaIism," or something more indeh-
mite, more mysterious, perhaps moth
ing. The financial plank was merely
a play of words taken as a whole, but
that part relating to silver is as plain
as the English language can make 1t.
For the benefit of the Charlotte OBJ
SerUer and other papers who intention
ally or Internationally seek to wrap it
in a vapor of mystery and constantly
appear to doubt its meaning, apparent
ly for effect, to condone the sins of
their party, we propose to give a clear
analysis. The platform says: "We
hold to the use of both gold and silver
as the standard money of the country,
and to the coinage of both gold and
silver, without discrimination against
either metal and without charge for
mintage."
That is what it says. Can nything
be plaineI9 The other words, both be-
fore and after the quotation, as they
appear in the plank, are mere rubbish,
entirely unnecessary. I'VE hold to
the use of both gold and silver" No
proportion is named. But read on:
ITO the coinage of both without dis
elimination against either metal"
That says plainly that both shall be
coined according to supply, all the
gold, oil the silver, Except 80 much as
may be used in the arts, aad when we
measure the small amount of each
metal left for money purposes after the
arts are supplied, and the need of more
money, much more, we can e that
the platform was right in that particu-
lar. The last words of the sentence
are: "And without charge for mint
ing" That undoubtedly means free
coinage, but it does not say unlimited
coinage, as does the Populist platform,
but that might have gone in with safety
so long as the precious metals are so
scarce. The ratio is not named, but
Is to 1 had been the legal ratio so long
that no nj questioned that omission.
How does it stand now? Gold is get
Ging free and unlimited coinage while
you can't sell silver at a junk shop, It
has been demonetized. Most of the
mines are closed. The same plank de-
manded the repeal of the Shermanlaw
and denounced it as "a cowardly make
shift" leaving the impression that
after the repeal would come the restora-
ton of silver, a consumation devoutly
wished for since 1873. But after the
repeal came total demonstration and
ruin.
Paris has another scandal. Men high
up in French a~ristocracy are accused
of forging drafts for several million
francs. The time is rapidly coming
when it will be considered a disgrace
to be classed among French, English
or American a~ristocracy. Let it come.
We have had enough of such rot.

A SMOULDERING MINE.

We do not know the full status OF
the case in Indian Territory, but be
it what it may one cannot read of the
occurrences mentioned on first page
under the head of s'Treated Like
Dogs, without being first fired with
just rage at the inhumanities perpe-
trated in the name of American law
and next appalled, at the lengths to
which military power is going in this
country. Leaving out the horrors of
Indian Territory, we have startling
things to contemplate nearer home.
Already the military power of the
United States has exceeded civil
authority in Idaho. Every year sees
the Federal courts gradually usurping
and supplanting the state tribunals.
The time is coming, to all appearan
ces, when the U. S. court can step in
without any preiminaries and man

bonds for amy purpose desired. 1t

Slowly and surely, through military
and federal channels, is the grip of
oligarchial government being pushed
abroad over the people by the manip-
ulators behind the scenes. When
one sits down calmly and contem-
plates the drift of events, friahtful
alarum sounds upon the soul and the
dangers that shoulder around us that
may at any time be fired into scenes
of frightful horror are appalling.

At peoples party meeting in
in Council the other day the following
resolutions were adopted and have
been handed us for publication:
RESOLVED, That we denounce the poll
cies of both the republican and democratic
parties toward silver, and think it not
only cowarcly in calling upon England
and the Rothchilds to shape our financial
policy, but degrading and humliatlng in
government Of sixty millions of
people, rich in productive resources, TO
call upon foreign power to say what
disposition shall be made of silver. 1t is
either lack Of craftsmanship or an ac-
acknowledgement of English Intellectual
superiority over Il nation whose pride has
always been TO boast of its freedom and
independence.
Resolved further, That we believe the
corrupt administration of the government
by the party who has SO long had control,
has brought the present deplorable. disas-
trous financial panic upon us; that we do
not and can not expect relief from The
party that robbed us of one-half of our
circulating medium in 1878 and brought
thousands of our people to want and
starvation.
Resolved, That we bitterly oppose all
class legislation and condemn the course
of our representatives in the last general
assembly for enacting and placing upon
our statutes law exempting mortgages
from taxation, all of which is class legis-
lation in its vilest form.
| Resolved, That we favor a graduated
income tax, believing that it is the only
way in which the burdens of taxation can
