MIR. CdRLLSLE.s SPEECH

10 his speech a; Covington, KY Monday,
Secretary Carlisle made lucid aud forcbe
exposition of the facts underlying the pres
ent business situation, and dwelt with spe
cial lulness upon the silver question The
question of the free coinage of silver is, by
all odds, he shows, the most important issue
before the country, A mistaken decision OF
II would not be harmless, but would have
disastrous and far. reaching consequences
Reviewing the history of silver legislation
in this country, he proves that the "crime of
1893" is imaginary. The silver act of that
year was an open matter and was voted for
by men who now denounce it. In view of
the vast amount Of silver now In use in the
United States, it is absurd to say that silver
is demonetized. We have more silver money
now than we ever had before
The Secretary explains what fires coinage
means, and traces its probable results, If we
should be so foolish as to enter upon the
experiment. With free coinage the gov
eminent would not, as now, be under obi
cation TO keep silver dollars exchangeable
with gold dollars, but would have to let
them sink to their market value-to one
half their present value. Free coinage at
the ratio 10 to means silver monometallism
Its effects on trade and wages are presented,
and these effects, il is made clear, would be
disastrous. The arguments for it rest on
mistaken and flimsy foundations. In con-
Guiding his speech the Secretary refers to
his silver record. 1t is briefly this, that he
has recognized the actual situation created
by the decline of silver. So long as there
was ground to hope that the ratio 16 to l
could be kept by legislation the market ratio
he favored the experiment, but the decline
of silver has in recent years been so great
that he has been forced to consider the ex
pertinent inadmissible. Reference TO the
Secretary's recorded views show that they
have been ingeniously misrepresented by
the extreme silver men. He has never been
a free-coinage man in their sense

upon and keep it quiet The Phila-
ladelphia Press says that when he
characterized the Republican pro-
tective policy as socialism and drew
a dismal picture of its effects upon
his country, he spoke as Demo-
crat on the stump, snarting under
the recent defeat of his party. When
he told his Edinburgh audience that
the effect of the success of the pro-
tective policy in this country was to
Danish men of Independent mind and
character from the public councils, .
he did not explain that it had kept
Mr.. Bayard from returning to the
Senate in 1889 and had kept him
out ever since. .HH
He certainly deserves Some casti-
CATION for his lack of judgment, and
the bad taste of these utterances,
and he is likely to receive such a
thorough dressing out in the House
las those who are all English you
know deserve.

OUR neighboring village of Port

cradle trouble over the water ques-
tion. Last summer during the
ldrouth the water gave out and re-
course was had to pumping water in
he mains of the water company
from Cuddeback brook. The reser-
gvoir seemed to need cleaning out
and the company made some show
of work in that direction, but it is
claimed by the Board of Health that
it was very Intellectual attempt.
An analysis of the water made by
the state officials showed it to be i'm
pure and unfit for drinking and cul-
mary purposes. The company was
thereupon notified not to permit any
of the water from this reservoir to
flow into their mains This pro-
hibition, was, on the occasion of fire
alarms disregarded, whereupon the
Board of Health after hearing argu-
ments pro and con, imposed a fine of
SIS on the company for each offence;

MOONis PHASES,
Editorial,
SENATOR CAMERON WILL RE-
TIRE.

EIIN ALUM ALANlIIlhgN w ILL lNAL-
TIRE.
Senator Cameron in a letter to
State Senator S. J. NJ. Mcconnell,
dated Dec. 8, announces his deter
mination that under no circums-
tances will he again be candidate
for reelection, He deems it fair
that his friends and others should
thus early be apprized of his inten-
tions that they may not be embar-
rassed by his candidacy. He took
his seat in 1877, and will have served
twenty years at the completion of
his term in 1897.
While this course may be a sur
prise to the Republican masses of
Pennsylvania, yet no doubt, many of
the sincere friends and well wishers
of the senator will approve it, and
Republicans generally will doubtless
feel that it relieves strain ON the
party. His declaration is clear and
emphatic and leaves no room to
question its sincerity. The people
will accept it as conclusive of his in
tention. Mr.. Cameron's political
convictions were no doubt taken
with all due consideration, and act
ually represent his personal belief,
but that they are to a great extent
not in harmony with those of his
party here no one can deny. He
was not in touch with the sentiment
of Pennsylvania on some Of the most
vital economic questions, and his
position on the silver question was
antagonistic to the cherished con-
victions of his constituents.
Had he persisted in being a candi-
date it would have precipitated a
struggle in every legislative district
in the state, as between Cameron
and anti-Cameron factions, and
while a discussion as to the success
sion will arise, and active move
ments be made in various directions
yet they will be on lines of prefer
ences as to candidates and not on
questions of party orthodoxy;
Many names have already been
suggested as possible or probable
candidates for the seat: Among
them, Coy. Hastings, General
Reeder, x-Postmaster General Wan
namaker, ex-Chief Justice Paxson,
Senator Penrose and others. 1t is
practically conceded that the choice
will come from the east, and Phila-
delphia is already urging her claims,
as not having had a senator in sixty
years. We do not know that any of
the gentleman above named are or
will be candidates, but we believe
that no more fitting one in point of
character or ability could be found
in eastern Pennsylvania than Gen
eral Frank Reeder, Secretary of the
Commonwealth.
