A BULLDoZING ATTEMPT.

Caught mapping on the Hayken mat
ter, the hating Tribune tries to make
up for its failure by plying it's most
congenial weapon, abuse. Crashing
its gums at The Herald is it's diurnal
exercise The froth it brings forth
may give it some satisfaction, but it
is recognized by all beholders as mere
iy the ebullition of impotent rage.
The Herald not only "scooped" it's
tagging neighbor on the Hayken ar
rival, but followed up the Hayken in
terview with an account of a CONVEX
sation between one of the witnesses in
the Hayken case and a prominent at
torney This puts q new light on the
entire affair. The Tribune, chagrined
at its continued failures in this mat
ter, comes out with most ridiculous
though venomous attack on The Her.
aid, for publishing what our snail-like
contemporary neglected to get.
The opinion of the lawyer is made
to do duty in the Tribune as an at
tack by The Herald, and the old ex-
ploded falsehoods about The Herald
having been instructed" to do certain
things are repeated, while the opinion
that there may be more spicy edi-
torials" in The Herald is expressed.
The status of the two papers in
reference to pecuniary influences is
pretty well understood in this city es-
pecially by people who have had to
put up by way of charity to the
hand that writes and the lips that lie
so glibely about The Herald. We are
willing to compare facts and figures
at any time on this point. AS for
spicy editorials" they need never be
looked for in the columns of our con-

and the mouthings of malice may be
taken for Spice

is it? And that ali comes from a
source that has been trying to intimi-
date and control the Fire and Police
Commission, and would if it were pos
sible intimidate and control The
Herald. The Tribune last Saturday
attempted editorially to influence the
commission in this way. After find
ing fault with that body for permitting
lawyers to appear in the Donovan
case, it said:
Another thing: it is plain from the
developments that Pratt and Donovan
cannot work together in the police de-
partment; to try to force them to it

SILVER AND THE SHERMAN LAW.

There has been so much deceptive talk
by Republicans in the silver regions
about the repeal of the Sherman law
by a Democratic Congress, that some
explanations concerning that peculiar
piece of Republican legislation will be
of interest to people who desire to
know the truth.
First, let it be understood that The
Sherman act of 1890 was not repealed
by the Democratic Congress. The
clause of that act which provided for
the purchase of silver by the govern
ment, to be stacked UP as bullion and
not coined, was repealed by that Con-
gress with the aid and votes of the
large majority OF Republicans in Con-
gress. including John Sherman HIM
self.
Next, let it be understood that this
repeal was eminently proper, and was
desired by people of both parties, the
provision being generally recognized as
"a misera bic makeshift''
The propriety of the repeal has not
been disputed by any consistent paper,
but it has been contended that it ought
to have been supplanted by a free sill
yer coinage bill, and fault has been
found by free silver advocates because
that was not done. The fault, if any,
was not partisan, larger majority OF

That their great victories of last wear

Republicans feeling of confidence as

is perfectly natural. Two such land

blush to warrant any predictions. no

Dld these victories mean an unqual-

Or were they chiefly a disapproval of
the Democratic administration and

tween the two propositions. Just what
they mean cannot be definitely told bv

that they mean all the most radical

the Republicans than of the Democrats
in Congress voting for unconditional
repeal.
In the work recently published by
John Sherman, he gives the history Of
the passage of his bill of 1890, and the
Chicago Tribune thus epitomizes the
chapter:
In this the Senator does not assume
to speak for others than himself, but
he really describes the attitude and
motive Of all the Republicans who
voted for the passage of the Sherman
law. They SO voted not because of a
wish to flood the country with more
silver. but for the reason that tbs
measure seemed to them to be the best
obtainable for warding off the adoption
of free coinage at 16 to L. which was
being pressed for by the Democrats
almost as a unit and by those Republi-
cans who represented the silver states.
The Senator not only explains that
the purpose of the bill was to ward off
the Democratic measure for free COIN
age, but acknowledges that he was
glad to help to repeal it. And the Re
publican Chicago Tribune frankly con-

insincere in the framing and passage
of the bill. 1t is equally insincere in
its endeavors to persuade the people Of
the west that it is in favor of silver.
1t is a party of expediency, anyhow.
and he who is deceived by it is not
wise.
No greater humbug could be foisted
on an unsuspecting people than the
pretence of Republican speakers in
Utah during the late campaign, that
the Republican party is free silver
party. Senator Stewart pronounces it
'.the great goldbug party of the United
States" Its success in the elections of
1895 has postponed the settlement of
the coinage question, and if it sue
ceeds again in 1896 the cause of free
silver coinage ma 7 be considered
doomed for many years.
That extreme silver advocates will
vote for party that is and has been
for a quarter of a century the deadly
foe of the white metal as standard
money, is one of the eccentricities of
party politics, and of the inconsistent
cies of human nature.

That, added to the private pleadings
and bulldozings that have beer known
to be going on, shows to what depths
OF dirty intrigue the Tribune and it's
chiefs will stoop. The prolonged delay
in settlement of this case is a won
der to the public who do not know
what is going on behind the scenes.
Inc efforts of the Tribune people have
peen to force a decision, not on the
merits of the case before the commits
sion, but under the threat that if the
accused is not dismissed the chief will
nave to resign. 1t is a vile piece of
business but just the kind that the
tribune delights in. There are other
bulldozing attempts to which we may
have to refer.

The Herald for publishing the opinions

NoN-pARTrsAssH1p IN SCHOOLS.

The school board election will soon
be here. So far, the endeavors to save
the schools from the influence of par
tisan politics appear to be in vain.
The matter will be in the hands Of
the people. If they choose to divide
on party lines and be swayed by
party influences, in the choice of
members of the Board of Education,
they will have to suffer the conse-
in the conduct of our educational af-
fairs.
If an arrangement could be made by
which capable men could be chosen
without any reference to their religious
or political opinions, the number of
members of the Board of one party or
Of another would not signify in the
least But as this party question does
come up and enter into the matter, in
spite of all that is said and done, the
only way to prevent the difficulty
feared is to make an equal division
A contemporary that pretends to be
non-partisan in this matter, but shows
its real sentiments by insisting that
the majority of the Board must be Re-
publicans, wants to know where do
the Populists come imp They don't
come in" They do not count any
more than they did in the showing of
the results Of the election given by
that contemporary. In a. non-partisan
or bipartisan board, or whatever it
may he called, they would cut no
figure.
As to the division of Offices between
the parties, that is just what it is
desirable to avoid. There should be no
'spoils' in school affairs. If board
is organized with special reference to
the preponderance of the party in the
majority, it will soon be seen that the
same spirit will regulate in appoint
ments. The choice will fall on men,
bers of the dominant party. If the
board is evenly balanced, that evil re-
suit will be avoided.
The views of The Herald on this
point are very easy to be understood.
Not as they are falsely presented by a
Republican sheet which is nothing if
not misleading, but as set forth in
these columns
1t is not contended that ito elect
Democrats is non-partisan and to
elect Republicans is partisan" That
is fabricated by a paper that does not
seem capable of comprehending the
issue, or if it does, deliberately mis-
states it. The contention is that if am
equal number of the two legitimate
parties form the board, the dangers
that threaten our school affairs from
craftsmanship will be avoided. If, how
ever, the majority of the board are
of one political party, elected because
they are, that will make it essentially
a partisan board and the evils antici-
pated will be bound to follow. A
board composed of a majority of Re
pubhcans, elected as Republicans. and
by Republicans, and for Republican
purposes, appears to be our contem-
porary's idea of a strictly non-pautisan
Board OF Education.

HokE SMITHS FINANCIAL VIEWS

Secretary Hoke Smith is announced to
address the Georgians again on public
topics. He says he will express his unal-
terable opposition to the free coinage of
silver, and advocate the financial policy of
the administration. 1t can hardly be a
matter of concern to the intelligent people
of Georgia what Hoke Smith opposes or
advocates. Only a few years ago he
thought turnips and carrots, if in good
condition, were good enough as a basis
for currency. His mind has been changed
through the glitter of a cabinet position,
and not through a process of reasoning

SO, they destroy their own work, outrage

action by a fear that under a trial the

WHEN a case against any person is
decided on anything other than its
merits, the decision is almost certain
to be wrong. Justice tempered with
mercy, neither rohbing the other,

burals, which should spurn every out
side attempt to influence them as in
sulting and infamous. This applies to
every sort Of judicial or quasi-judicial
body on earth.
