A Reaction Toward Silver,

1t Is believed by many that an ad-
justment of the coinage problem which
would, for she present, restore the
monthly purchases of silver discon-
tinued at the repeal of the Sherman
act, thus leaving in allegiance the ques-
tion of an international bimetallic
agreement, would satisfy large per-
centage of those persons who are dis
satisfied with the present arrangement
of our finances. and who are, from
principle, unalterably opposed to the
monetary extinction of silver. 1t is
among the possibilities that the clearly
inevitable compromise will take this
form. That would not be a final settle
ment, but it would at least afford an
other breathing spell, during which the
people could with more care consider
the respective claims of gold mono
metallism vs. bimetallism.
Another point of significance in this
connection Is the recent tendency of sill
Yer bullion to appreciate in value. The
quotations, as yet, are merely flutter-
ing upward; but it is plausibly argued
that the considerable curtailment in
the output of the silver mines of the
world during the recent years Of
marked depression, amounting for the
year 1894 almost to so per cent, as COM
pared with the output of 1891 and 1892,
will eventually have a tendency to
bring the commercial price of silver
back to somewhere near the figure
which its scarcity as a precious metal
assigned to it before its general de-
monetization. A recovery of only nine
points would, it is claimed, make profit
able the reOpening of the suspended
placer mines of Colorado and Nevada
and this recovery may be reached with
in two years.
1t is, of course, claimed by bimetall-
lists that the re-opening of the leading
mints of the world to silver upon terms
of equality with gold would so equalize
the demand for the two metals (the
supply being already approximately
equalized) that the commercial ratio
would in a short time vary but little
from the coinage ratio. Such a result,
IL it could be realized, would end all
controversy, and unquestionably give
such an impetus to business prosperity
as has not hitherto been known dur
ing the present century. But in the
meantime, it is pleasant to observe
symptoms of a commercial recovery in
silver entirely Independent of none
tary legislation. Maybe the leading
nations of the world are beginning at
last simultaneously to awaken to the
utter folly and harm of their own
course in concertedly demonetizing the
metal, which, until they threw it
overheard, faithfully and efficiently,
under bimetallism, measured one-half
their values.
Such a reaction would be most well
come.

Some Demands of Labor.

The various labor organizations Of
Monroe county, New York, recently as
sembled together at Rochester for the
purpose of outlining policy Of action.
After much discussion they adopted
twenty-one resolutions, six having
reference to political and fifteen to so
cial demands. The political demands
were as follows:
1. The people to have the right to pro-

Tap the Idle Reserve Fund.

We do not believe that either Senator
Quay or Governor Hastings really fa-
vors the proposition to take Sl,OO0,OOO
from the public school appropriation
and transfer it to the charities bill, At
a time when there is between $4,000, 900
and $4,000 900 of surplus state money ~
ing idle in a number of banks, such n
curtailment of the school funds would
undoubtedly be viewed by tie public
with marked dsfavor The people
would readily approve the reduction Of
this idle reserve fund, If necessary; but
we are quite certain that they would
resent any adjustment of the eXpendi-
lures, however well intended. which
would result in cramping the free pub
lie schools.
It is well known that by reason of the
general depression the revenues of the
commonwealth are Just now below
their normal level; and it is also fact
of general knowledge that the appro-
priation bills introduced at this session
would, if passed in their original form,
eat up those revenues from three to
four times over. These circumstances
explain why, in the desire to please the
greatest number of legislators. it is
proposed in some quarters to cut down
the school appropriations for two years
But the proposition is none the less =
mischievous one, which, il assenled to,
would bring upon the Republican party
serious and immediate disfavor. The
school fund may be increased, but It
must not be decreased. Public senti-
ment upon that point will no doubt
quickly and emphatically assert itself
And why should not the reserve fund
be used in this emergency? 1t per-
forms no useful public service at pres
ent, except in a passive sense. 1t SIM
ply lies idle in the banks. If funds are
sum 10 more active use? No one will
claim that the revenues of state like
our own will long remain as scant as
they are today. Improvement in the
general business situation will speedily
reflect itself in the condition of the
state treasurers cash book. Rather,
therefore, than run any risk of Grip
pling the states magnificent free public
school system, which is justly it's pride,
why should the legislature hesitate to
draw on the commemorative surplus
until such time as the current receipts
will be adequate to cover the essen
tial expenditures?
This is the common sense way out Of
the present dilemma; and a much moro
satisfactory one, 1t occurs to us, than
the proposed cheese-paring policy to-
ward the public schools.

Put Pennsylvania to the Front.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Tha eighth annual convention of the Re-
publican National league will be held in
Cleveland on June 10. and delegates are
already being elected. In selecting rep
resentatives for Pennsylvania 1t should
not be lost sight Of that this Is the lead
ing Republican state and should have in
attendance as delegates men who are
known leaders in Republican thought.
President Warren, of the State league,
one of the most earnest and energetic
young Republicans in the country, real
ICES that the occasion will be one of un-
usual interest and is anxious that Penn
sylvania shall have representation sec
ond to that Of no other state in promi-
nence and ability. Those who are to par
ticipate in the choice Of delegates should
do their best to further this commendable
purpose and put Pennsylvania at the
front, where she belongs.

Ecklcy Ii. Coke.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
He was peculiar combination. Born
with the means to avoid all toll, had he
been so inclined, he voluntarily elected to
pursue career imposing the severest kind
of labor. His whole life might have been
that OF a trifier and none could have COM
planned. He chose to be a worker. At
an age when the average youth in his
circumstances was talking nonsense to
nonsenscal girls, he was hard at work
upon a volume of mechanics that Is today
a text book in many scientific schools.
This was only the start. The schools of
this city, the university here and at Troy
developed and enriched his mind, but he
was not content with that. Paris and
Freiburg added to his knowledge and then
It was that he returned to this country TO
begin that engineering career which made
him an authority upon all geological sub
iects, and which, with his indomitable will
and enterprise made him the greatest in
dividual coal operator of his time.
