HE seUIRsIs.

We observe that the editor of our
morning contemporary exhibits a
lively sense of having been punctured
with a pin 1t should have a salutary
if irritating effect. 1t will serve to
teach him how other folks feel when
he darts his poisoned arrows at them,
barbed with malice and dipped in
falsehood. He is merely getting a
very attenuated and infinitesimal
dose of his own medicine without the
ingredient of untruth. He ought not
to take it with such wry face and
such violent contortions.
But we are sorry to see that he does
not desist from evading as is his
wont, the points under controversy,
nor from arrogating wisdom to him
self and imputing ignorance<to others,
instead of proving that he is right,
or showing that his adversary is
wrong.
TIL, Herald does not care to repeat
the proofs, which the laws we have
cited afford, that the pretended silver
oracle is sadly lacking in acquaintance
with some of the simplest facts and
principles that pertain to the coinage
question. He has not answered them.
He cannot do so fairly. To quote his
own words he ''is pursuing the case
precisely as a pettifogger pursues
case in court, and its course is the one
which which is always adopted either
among men or among newspapers by
the cowardly and base-born."
That is one of the proofs of courage
and high breeding which the eminent
straddler usually offers when worsted.
He calls names and abuses others in
avoiding a square issue. We will
leave this matter with another quota
ton from the same authority with
the wish, not arising however to the
height of a hope that he will apply it
strictly to himself, "and that is, that
before writing about any subject it is
a good idea to master some of the
elemantary facts concerning it, and
then to treat of the matter with some
degree of honesty and intelligence"

A CURE FOR WAR TALK.

papers receive a, fitting rebuke from
the Springfield Republican in COM

ministration toward the Nicaraguan
trouble with Great Britain. It says:

editors and Senators who are so fond
of talking aobut resenting British in

LAW FIXES THE RATIO.

The prominence given to the silver
question is gratifying. It brings out
the strong arguments of the real BIZ
metallists and the fallacies of the
sham bimetallists. Among the former
is the following expression of opinion
from Alex. Del Mar, a noted writer in
the Fortnightly Review for April:
The real question Of today is not
whether gold or silver is a better ma
terial out of which to make coins, but
whether the entire volume of metallic
money in the western world shall con-
tinue to be diminished by maintaining
the demonstration of silver. That
this characterization was brought about
by the fear that to continue the free
coinage Of silver would endanger the
stability of the measure Of value,
there cannot be the slightest doubt.
But what has been the result? Prices
were never so unstable before; Specula-
ton is eXtinguished; commerce manu-
features, agriculture, every branch Of
industry is prostrated; and the men
whose ignorant advice has brought
these disasters upon Christendom, are
seeking to extenuate their colossal
crime by explaining that all these re-
suits are due to the bounty nature-to
what, in their misleading terminology,
they are pleased to call over-produc-
ton. The classes who We're expected
TO gain mostly by this revolution Of
money, have, in fact, been the chief
losers. Bank after bank, company
after company, security after security
mas failed, and gone into the hands of
liquidators and receivers; and nobody
yet sees the end. That the situation
may be saved at once by undoing the
bad work of the past twenty years, no
one disputes. What is disputed is that
it may be saved without endangering
the stability of the measure of value.
The Roman experience of thirteen CEN
turtles fully answers this contention.
1t proves that the law has power to
permanently and unalterably fix
ratio of value between coins of the
precious metals; and that it is the law
which has governed the relative value
of these metals in bullion, and not
that there was a relative value Of the
metals in bullion which governed the
law. And this is ALL as I understand
it, that is claimed by "bimetallists."

HERALD Calendar for May.

81 have been a lifelong Republic
an. 1 cast my first vote for Abra-
ham Lincoln, and have supported
the party ever since. But to speak
if l believed the only hope for silver
lay with the Republican party, I
ganizatiOn of the silver sentiment.
The Republican party is too much
bound up with the gold men of the
east. All it's leaders lean that way,
and 1 am afraid it would be impOs-
sibIe for rs to gain anything from
them.
''Our hope lies with the Democrat
&c party. I believe, now, that If the
fight is properly made, the silver
wing of that party will gain control
of the convention and cut loose
from Grover Cleveland and the gold
fidence that they will. Then CIeve-
land and his party will join the Re-
publican party.
"If the Democrats are wise, they
will leave the tariff issue out of the
campaign. That will simply becIOud
the financial issue and cause dis
turbance. They should declare that
that issue has been put in the back
ground. IL they do this, and come
out for free silver, they will sweep
everything, almost up to the New
England states, and may gain some
of them"

urAHs CONSTITUTION.

The opinion of the Globe ~emocrat
that Utah will be a. full fiedged state
early in the winter" is shared by the
American press of all parties. The
statement that the constitution is ''an
unusually conservative document in
many respects is also made by sew
eral papers.
That the Constitution will be adopted
we have no doubt; that 1t should be
adopted is admitted by persons and
papers in Utah that opposed some OF
its provisions vehemently. The visitors
TO the silver conference were very
pronounced in their euiogies Of our
SIZE constitution, and in the opinion
that there was nothing now in the way
o. our entrance into the Union, which
they regarded as the opening of an era
OF prosperity to this wonderful region
that few have fully anticipated.
Every friend of Utah should en-
courage friendship for statehood, and
discourage remarks that would tend to
make any one dissatisfied with the
constitution or with the conditions at
tending the responsibilities and duties
of a sovereign state. We do not be-
iieve there will be any considerable
vote against the Constitution. We can
see no reason why a single ballot cast
should bear the inscription, F'Constitu-
ton No."
1t would be much better that we
should enter the Union i'm unity. We
may differ in our opinions as to the
propriety of this provisioR, or the
do
religious doctrines and political princi-
Piles. On such matters we can cheer
fully agreee to differ, while we all
unite IN love of country and devotion
to its interests. So we may not see
alike on certain propositions, and yet
may and should mach together as fell
low citizens belonging to one common
wealth and under the folds of one flag,
into the full freedom of an independent
state
Let 1t not go out to the world that
there is any radical disagreement re-
manning in Utah over the statehood
question, but let the nation see that
we can be one on that vital issue, if
we do not see eye to eye on the minor
points which are viewed differently by
different persons everywhere. Utah
should be understood as a spot where
people of all faiths and parties can
dwell together in peace, each worship
ping how he pleases and voting how
he chooses. but all desiring the COM
mar welfare, and willing to support
the Constitution of the state as we'll as
the supreme law of the nation.

1t is telegraphed that seventeen states
and territories are represented in the
silver conference at Salt Lake. The at
tendance is reported to be large and en-

It is a good thing to rally a crowd,
and when the crowd is enthusiastic
things begin to look encouraging. But.
after all, the out-and-out pledge to sup
port silver first, last and all the time is
the business end of the meeting in Utah,
and that is not yet announced. On the
contrary, the first indications that came
yesterday from Salt Lake were not an
assurance of aggressive action The
policy of the members is as the earlier
dispatches say, to make the movement
non-partisan; that is Ito encourage men
to work in the cause Of silver without
breaking any party lines"
