POLITE? OF COURSE.

The free silverites are settling up
claim that the world no longer calls tneH'
beretics and cranks, and they are hatur-
ally much gratifed by that fact. one Oh
them asserts: 1.-The question is now ac-
cepted as reasonable. creeping into hahk-
ing circles that have heretofore only Wor-
shipped the god of gold"
IT NAV be as these gentlemen say. COM
rnon sense was so outraged at first by
their preposterous demand that sensible
mtn used stronger language then IMAM
they would now.
They cannot help, however, entertaining
stil an opinion of the man who advances
such propositions. even If they are too
nolite TO give it expression, and how can
free silver man blame a sensible man
-.4a.iI .iSi55T FIEX~a Larank even IL he
for a moment what this free silver man
wants this Government to do. He wants
it to open it's minis to the coinage of all
the silver bullion that may be brought to
them into coin. each one Of which is to
contain 81 ii grains of pure silver, but
each one is 10 be called a dollar and 10
be legal tender in payment of a dollar
But we have another dollar. the gold
dollar. which is worth alta jewellers or
bullion dealers place of business just
twice as much as 81 1-2 grains Of silver.
All the transactions that have been made
in the United States within the past fifty
years. in which the word dollar" has
been used here. had reference TO that gold
dollar They are all TO be settled, ac-
cording to the agreement of the parties,
either with those gold dollars or what
may be exchanged for gold dollars. That
was the understanding people had when
they went into them.
Now If fashioning 81 Ia grains Of silver
into a coin that the Government calls a
dollar, and makes legal tender for a dol
lar would double its value, no harm
might come 10 those who were compelled
20 receive payment of dollars" in these
coins. But does any sensible man believe
that this Government can do that:
and this in fact. cause 81 Ia grains of
silver to become forever after free coin
age as valuable as AZ ID grains Of silver
now are? If any man really believes this
can sensible man be blamed for think
ing such an one crank, even if he does
not call him one?
Inc opponents Of free coinage want and
intend TO be polite. but they cannot be
blamed for having very decided opinions
on a case Of this sort.

HARYARD DEFEATS PRINCETON.
Wins the First Debate Ever Held Between
the Two Colleges.

PRINCETON, March 2S.-The first in
terconegiate debate between Harvard and
Princeton in the histories of the two uni
versities was held in Princeton's new
commencement building last night at s
o'clock, and Harvard won. The debate
was arranged by joint committee repre-
senting the Harvard Union. and the
Wendell Phillips Club of Harvard and
re Closophic and American Wing So
cieties of Princeton. The question was:
Resolved, That If it were possible,
reasonable property qualification for the
exercise OF the municipal franchise In the
United States, would be desirable.
The choice OF sides was left to the
Harvard committee and they chose the
negative Each speaker had one speech
OF twelve minutes; twelve minutes was
then allowed to each side for rebuttai.
This arrangement was compromise be-
tween Princetons idea that each speaker
should have a second speech and Har-
wards desire that each man should speak
but once The speakers were:
Princeton-Willis Howard Butler 80.
New York: Howard Erskine White, 95.

letters from Herbert Welsh Of Pn.iadei-

New York. The force aud urgency OF
these letters did more than anything else
to WIN the debate for Harvard.
Immediately after the debate a banquet
was given the Harvard debaters at the
Princeton Inn. at which seventy-tve
covers were laid, the guests being re-
stricted to the professors and graduate
students.

JArAN's POWER AND PATRIOTISM

Mr.. \. III. Butler. an American citizen.
who has long been a resident I'm Japan.
is now IN this country, and he made the
following statement day or so back to
afWashmgton reporter:
Americans can hardly conceive of the
extent OF the war feeling among the
masses IA Japan / am just from japan
and am going right back as soon as |
settle some pressing business affairs in
New York. | must confess that even TO
the little American colony over there the
rapid success of the Japanese arms has
been perfectly astonishing. We expected
long drawn-out and very disastrous
conhict In which Japan was almost sure
10 get worsted though we knew that
the plucky little people would put up a
stubborn fight and that they had some
points or advantage over their big enemy.
Now nothing less than the complete
humiliation of China will satisfy the dap
anese. The people are red hot toward
pressing the war TO the very utmostsand
hoth.ng VIII do them but the siege and
capture OF Pekin. Some of the less in
tellisent OF the population believe that
their country Is on the road 20 supremacy
over all the nations OF the world and one
or two old fellows have gravely assured
me That Japan could conquer even the
United States II the peaceful relations
between the governments should be sew
