Cleveland's letter on the currency ad-
dressed to Chicago business men was
made up of glittering generaIities and
platitudes. There was not q word or a
line in it that committed him to any
specific policy. Had it been written by
Repu blican Presidential candidate all
the champions of sound money who are
praising it to the skies and character
izing it as d keynote would have
stlgmatized it as "dodging". There is not
line in it that clearly shows what con-
stitutes sound money in the Presidents
opinion. Whether he is an advocate of
monometalism or bimetalism does not
appear. Taken in connection with his
previous record of course it would be
interpreted as opposed to free coinage.
but standing alone it appears to be
simply declaration in favor of sound
money without any definition of what
constitutes sound money.

CURRENT CONF ENT.
PLAIN WORDS TO ALDERMAN
PETERS.
eastern Arpus
eastern Argus.)

Alderman Peters, who appears to be a
leader in defense of the policy which the
legislature adopted, and whose author
ship does not appear to be coveted, en-
deavors to explain, in letter published
yesterday, its scope and progress. In
our humble Judgment the explanation
does not explain the extraordinary set
of rules of which he appears to be the
author. The only saving feature of
those rules is that they may DO changed
at any time. Our advice is that they
be changed without delay. We may be
wrong, but if we had made them we
should regard them as offering a temp
tation to laziness and ins Efficiency, in
stead of stimulating to vigorous work.
However the rules are ON trial and citi-
Zens can see for themselves the result.
We shall be surprised if making a man
undischargea for month renders him
better worker than if liable to dis
charge at any time for good cause.-the
usual condition on which help is en-
gagged. 1t is not needful to question
motives. There may be differnt roads to
the same end. But the reform sentiment
is not to be triaed with. Good govern
ment will be reached. Those who pur-
posely stand in the way had better get
out of the way.

Russia doesn't like the terms of peace
agreed upon between Japan and China.
That is evident from the comment of
her newspapers which are all published
under the eye of a government censor
and are therefore not likely to express
views which are distasteful to the Gar.
Why Russia doesn't like the traty is easy
to guess. In the first place the acquire
ment of Man churia by Japan is dis
pleasing to her because she has had her
eye on that territory herself In the
second place the offensive and defensive
treaty between Japan and China dis
pleases her because it is likely to create a
formidable power in the east which may
stand in the way of future e1aggressions
by the Gar in that region. Japan has
developed wonderful military skill. Her
armies are well trained and disciplined
and supplied with all the latest weapons
of warfare. Alone she has become a
formidable military power. The only
thing she lacks is a population to draw
her armies from. An alliance with
China will supply that lack, ana the
countless hordes which the Flowery
Kingdom can supply, under the training
of the Japanese may be converted into
a very formidable army against which
even the great armies of Russia would
contend in vain. Russia is afraid that
Japan and China may assert sort of
Monroe doctrine for the east, which will
hos
looks with anxiety to any arrangement
that may put behind such doctrine a
formidable support.

The SO called sound money Democrats
who are shouting that the Presidents
letter has struck the keynote" of an
impending contest between silver and
anti-silver will on examination be dis
covered to be the cuckoos, whose princ-
pal business in life has been and still is
to do the bidding of Grover Cleveland
1t is practically by his orders that they
are proclaiming him the great champion
of sound money ideas and the only Moses
who can lead the country out of the
financial wilderness. Grover is done with
the Democratic party as an organization,
or rather the Democratic party as an or
ganization is done with him. But his
am bition is not extinguished. No Presi-
deut has ever had third term, and if
Cleveland could secure another election
he would enjoy distinction above that
of any other A merican chief magistrate.
Perhaps the President sees or thinks ne
sees in the break up of parties which
may occur Oh the currency question an
opportunity to place himself at the head
of hat he calls the Sound money!
sentiment of the co untry and gain the
coveted distinction, and has enlisted the
cuckoos to work to that end. The sud-
den determination of prominent cuckoos
all over the country to stand by "sound
money" even if it splits the party
is significant. Democrats are not in the
habit OF sacrificing expediency for prin-
ciple. and when they are taken that way
there is good reason to suspect that
something is up.

The appearance of several British war

Western and Southern Democrats con-
tinue to give utteranoe to their views on
the currency question, and for the most
part they are not in accord with Grover
Cleveland. Blackburn who is after the
Kentucky senatorship has just declared
fog free coinage and Senator Harris of
Tennessee announces that he is in favor
of the rehabilita ton of silver as money
metal. which means the same as free
coinage. If Grover is going to hold the
Democrats of the West and South up to
his currency ideas he can't be too quick
about sending missionaries into the field.

Ex-Consul Waller seems be in a
pretty bad predicament and it appears
by no means likely that our government
can do much to help him out. He was
charged with giving information to the
Hovas of French movements in Madagas-
car, was tried and convicted and SEN
fenced to 20 years imprisonm emf. The
most our government can do as matter of
right is to inquire Into his trial and see
whether it was fair and his guilt proved.
If it is found that he was fairly tried
and fairly convicted our government can
do nothing more than appeal to the
French government for clemency.
