try, has been a much more intricate
problem to solve than is the silver ques-
ton at the present time. Two years be-
fore the passage of the resumption act
in 1875 the currency question. involving
specie resumption on the one hand and
the imitation of ir~redeemable paper
money on the other, presented more dis
tracing elements than does the silver
problem. Six months before the passage
of the resumption act it seemed impossi-
BILE that the last Republican Congress
for years would be able to come to any
conclusion. Finally a conference of Re-
publicans devised the resumption bill
as a compromise, and it became a law by
Republican votes. Thereafter until
specie resumption actually took place,
jan. 1, 1879, it seemed tina the initiation
lists might prevail because the element
was so powerful which demanded it.
All the Democrats in Congress from the
West, with two or three exceptions, ia
vored the repeal OF the resumption act.
and many Republicans in Congress at
that time are recorded as in favor of a
return to irredeemable paper money,
but, thanks to the craftsmanship and
constancy of the Republican leaders, to
the Hayes administration and the sa-
gacity of John Sherman as Secretary of
the Treasury, specie resumption came.

United States.
People seem to forget that unseen
causes silently work out the most i'm
portant results. Conditions change and
bring remedies. People see issues from
higher attitudes and wider ranges of
vision as time passes. What seems to-
day to be of most Importance a year
hence may be regarded as or little con-
sequence by people who shall have come
to know more about it. Republican
craftsmanship from the lays of Abra-
ham Lincoln has been able to cOpe with
what at the time seemed to be insur-
mountable obstacles. Some of these OBJ
stacles have involved matters of much
greater moment than does the silver
problem at the present time. During the
next two years the experience and the
wisdom Of the first men of this country
and the commercial world will doubtless
find a favorable solution of the silver
question.

THE political PROPHETS FOLLY.

The late and longtime Representative
in Congress from the Springfield Gid
district, the Hon. William N. Springer,
continues the role of the prophetic
statesman which he assumed when he
entered the House twenty years ago.
No man has oftener Mounted the pro-
phetic tripod, and it must be added
that no man in that business has ever
predicted more things which did not
come to pass. The fact that Mr..
Springer's plurality of 4.476 in 1892 be-
came a minority of .94S in 1894 has not
broken hin of the habit of predicting
things every day which do not come
true. One day this week Mr.. Springer
recalled himself to the American people
by predicting that the silver question
would be the leading issue next year.
and that the tariff, by consent of both
parties, would become a minor question.
AS the opposite of Mr.. Springer
predicts almost invariably comes true, it
may be assumed that the tariff issue. in
gliding reciprocity, will be the leading
issue in 1896 and the currency question
one of secondary Importance.
With a sound currency at the present
time and a parity between all the money
and representatives of money in circula-
ton, and with more fiattering prospects
for the international disposition of the
silver problem it is not probable that it
will be so prominent an issue as that
which involves the welfare of the indus
tries and the trade OF the whole coun-
try. Already most intelligent people
know that the clamor for the free coin
age of silver by an act of Congress is
made by the mine owners and their
agents. Several times during the past
twenty-five years the currency question.

The board of revision, which. in st.
Louis, Sits the voting lists just before
an election, has discovered astounding
frauds in many wards. The large num-
Der of persons registered from different
houses aroused suspicion, and inquiry
followed. In the First ward nearly a
thousand fictitious names were found on
the list, and quite as many in the Sec
ond ward. Frauds were discovered in
several other wards. Thus far at least
seven thousand fraudulent registrations
nave been discovered, and the investiga-
ton is going on. OF course, this fraud
is in the interest of the Democracy,
which has had control of the registra-
ton of voters for years. From houses
which have been found to contain but
four or five legal voters thirty and even
fifty names were registered. The reve-
lation has caused much interest.

Secretary of Agriculture Morton, who
promotes agricultural interests chiefly
through the newspapers, indicates by his
last proclamation Of his intentions that
he does not yet know hat all the mar
kets of the world have been closed to
many of the American products of the.
farm, except in Great Britain, by the
Cleveland policy. He indicates this
when he that he is sending
bulletins to our consuls asking them to
give Information regarding the amount
of our farm products consumed in their
respective localities and what can be
done to increase their consumption.
France, Germany and Austria have
shut many of our farm products out of
their markets. Why trouble them to
answer absurd questions? The best way
to open, or, rather, reopen foreign mar
kets to the products of the American
farm is to get rid of the Secretary Nor
tons and their theories.

who. the Post says. is one of the best
posted men in Washington on Cuban af-
fairs He says:
Cuba is governed entirely by officials
sent out from the mother country. Nobody
IN this country can appreciate how this
gals upon the intelligent native people.
The offices OF the Island are entirely in
the hands of foreigners. Native Cubans are
not allowed even TO enlist in the army,
and the citizens are not allowed to own
firearms. Their only eapon are the
machetes, a short sword, and IL they get
arms Struggled in to them from the out
side they are SO uaaccustomed to their
use that they nave little chance in combat
with the trained soldiers sent out from
Spain. The natives hate the Spanish gov
ernment. and many of them annually emil
CRATE to New York, Tampa and New Or
leans, where they stay long enough to be-
come naturalized as American citizens, and
then return to their native country. Nearly
all of the wealthier natives who can at
ford it send their children to be educated
in the United States. and the intensely
American spirit thus ~engendered naturally
makes the imported Spanish official dislike
and suspect most things American.
1t is enough to make American blood boil
to know that the CALLING methods of one
of the most despotic governments of Eu-
rope are thus systematically practiced on
an island under the very shadow of this
continent.

the Sons of Liberty of the revolutionary
war. 1t was kin I'm some of its purposes.
at least, to those who were then beginning
the revolution in France. 1t was enthusi-
astic in its support and approval OF that
revolution. Indeed, a misty legend has been
handed down from generation 10 genera
ton in the hall that the suggestion came
from Jefferson himself, who, called from
France to W~ashington's Cabinet. was
panied to see that aristocracy, English in
it's impulse, and fostered by the society
of the Cincinnati was roofing itself so
early in our national life. To crush that
impulse. at least to fetter ii, Jefferson gave
the hint, and Tamrnany with its tomabawk
stood facing the Cincinnati and its sword.

any cunning planning of one man for per-

A WEAK POINT IN MUNICIPAL Gov
ERNMENT.

A committee of the Massachusetts
Legislature gave a hearing a few days
ago on proposed amendments to the
city charter of Boston. In the course of
the hearing a representative of the Citi-
zens' Association insisted that the great
est need of the city was a business ad-
ministration on business principles. He
admitted that this was very difficult to
bring about on account of the large
political power given to those who had
no personal stake in the business or
financial welfare of the city. Who
ever heard of a business corporation"
said this speaker, being controlled by
persons who had no financial interest in
the results of the business? Who ever
heard of a railroad being controlled and
it's. directors and officers elected by the
s~witchmen, brakemen and the passen-
gers?", AS evidence that the city of
Boston was governed on something like
this principle the speaker stated hat at
the election in 1893 out of 1882 regis
tered voters in that city only 1906 were
assessed for any tax on real or personal
property, showing that only about n
registered voter in five had a direct pc
cuniary interest in securing an econom-
icaI and efficient administration of mu-
nicipal affairs. He regarded his fact as
largely responsible for the gradual and
~insidious growth of a sort of municipal
communism which demanded that the
city government be run not on business
principles, but as a charitable or
eleemosynary institution. AS evidence of
this he cited the message of the late
Mayor, showing that owing to holidays,
higher rate of wages and fewer hours
the city now pays about so per cent.
more than the market rate of wages, and
that in the street department alone the
cost of holidays and half holidays is
about $751; 900 a year.
1t is surprising to learn that the pro-
portion of nontaxpaying voters in Bos-
ton is SO large. Assuming that it is
equally as large in all American cities
of considerable size it certainly consti
tutes a formidable barrier to any at
tempt to place the administration of
city governments on a strictly business
basis. Al it is not feasible and would
not be right to take away the elective
franchise from nontaxpayers, the only
remedy seems to be in steadily and per-
sistently intoxicating a higher standard
of civic dufu
