MORTON'S BOOMERANG.

Atlanta Constitution.l
j. Sterling Morton, the trick monkey
OF the administration, compelled some
OF the employees in his department to ac
cept silver III payment of their salaries
The affair was a joke, so the administra.
ton monkey says, but it has given rise
TO very serious question-a question
that is at the bottom Of all our financial
troubles. II Morton can compel the
government employesin his depa, tment
to accept silver in payment Of their
claims, what is to prevent the govern
ment itself from pursuing the same
course.
The free coinage men in Mortona de
pHrtment were not at all rufiled by the
event. They made the monkey states
mans little joke a voly big joke. They
accepted the silver gladly and went on
their way perfectly satisfied. But if small
crodi .ors Of the United Stat, are to re
ceivo silver, what is to prevent the pay
ment of larger creditors in tic same
way? The bonds of thegoyernment and
the treasury notes that are presented to
draw out gold are all payable in "coin,' -
and gold is no more ''cuin" than silver is
The iake Of the administration mon
key, therefore, has its serious sido. Peo.
pie will begin to wonder anew why one
set Of creditors arc paid in silver and the
other in gold.
We trust that Morton will continue
his capers,

PRESIDENTIAL BEE.

Judge Henry G. Caldwell cf the UNI.
ted States circuit court for the eighth
circuit has boen suggested as possible
candidate for president on the republi-
can ticket in 1895. From the interviews
of reporters with Judge Caldwell it
would seem that his honor has discov-
cred the bee and is in the hands of his
friends. The judge is an exceedingly
modest man. and tells the reporters to
'go way from me y Yet, on the other
hand, he is bold enough to say openly
and unequiyOcaly that he is for the free
coinage of silver, without waiting for al
international agreement. Iu thus show
ing that he has the courage of his con
vleti0ns Judge G. has demonstrated
that he possesses at least one rare but
commendable qualification for an Amer.
lean president and at the samo time
placed an insurmountable barrier be-
tween him and the republican nomina-
ton for that Office. It is to be deplored
that more of this class Of men are not
mentioned, with some show OF success,
for the Offices Of tho government.
