A Correct View of II.
Wilkes-Barre Record.

II TOM lIt w Nilhto-Iotult IbttDIu-
The esteemed Tribune must have missed
the opening sentence in the Records com
ment upon Anna Dckinson's lecture. 1t
Is as follows: whether Anna Dickinson
was insane when she was removed to Dan
vile asylum is a question which stlll re-
mains for a jury 10 decide" Nothing
which followed that sentence can be con-
strued into 81 discussion of the question
still pending in court The Record simply
repeated what everybody who heard the
lecture was free to admit, namely, that
whatever may have been Miss Dickinson s
condition heretofore, she seems to be IN
full possession of her faculties now. How
such a statement can in any way affect
the case now in allegiance we are at loss
to discover. If Miss Dickinson Is sane
now, 1t does not follow that she was sane
at the time of her incarceration, and moth
ing contained in the Record can be twisted
into such presumption!

Get Down to the Gist of II.

For practical purposes, the current
discussion of the so-called "silver Ques-
tion" might we'll be restricted to two
points: First. is an International BIZ
metallic agreement possible: is it prob
able; are we in America doing our best
to bring 1t about? Second, in the event
OF failure to reach an international
agreement within the next few years
would it be feasible for the United
States to attempt the full remonetiza-
ton of silver alone, upon a ratio to be
fixed by congress, and with prohibit
tive tariff erected as a barrier against
the Importation Of silver from other
countries?
Mr.. Cleveland. and his Wall street
admirers. indeed. may shout for COM
plete gold monometallism as Justify as
ever they please; but the believers in
such policy now number and will ever
number only small minority. Nine
tenths of the American people are BIZ
metallists, of one kind or another. 1t
seems to us that the point for these per-
sons to consider is how they may CO.
operate rather than how far they can
drift apart. The difference between
them is more nominal than real. Mr..
Charles Emory Smith and Senator
Cameron. for instance, appear to be
irreconcilably separated on this ques-
tion, yet the truth is they are in pre-
cisely the same boat The only dis
tinction is that Senator Cameron sits
in the Prov OF the boat while Editor
Smith sits on the middle seat. Senator
Cameron is tired of waiting for-Europe
tween silver and gold. and wants to
restore bimetallism in the United
States independently. Editor Smith |
processes to want bimetallism restored |
but he suggests the expediency of de-
ferring positive action while longer, |
in the hope that Europe may yet come |
to our rescue. Why don't these two |
alleged friends of bimetallism, instead |
OF trying hard to work up sentiment, |
one against the other make some
effort to get together?
Another mistake commonly made by |
some alleged bimetallsts is in assuming |
that the great bulk Of those who argue |
for the rehabilitation of silver do so for |
silver's sake. The truth is, they do so, |
or at least think they do so, for their !
own sake. Neither silver nor gold has |
any intrinsic value. We value both |
metals solely because of what they will |
do for us. IT, therefore, the free coin
age of silver alongside with gold under
fixed ratio, either international or
domestic in its origin, will, by affording
sufficient and a stable currency, pro-
mote prosperity. people are justified in
shouting for silver just as they would
be justified in shouting for copper,
brass or iron, did those baser metals
promise corresponding service. The
incidental assistance which this ad-
vocacy of silver will afford to the Amer
lean silver industry certainly ought not
to make the advocacy less popular
among Americans. We cannot have
too many prosperous Industries in this
country.

SCRANTON, APRIL 25, 1895.

The argument that compulsory edu-

vanla because the state constitution
does not say that all children shall so

gasp. As such, il is a moderate sue
cess; but in any other sense, it cannot
expect to be taken seriously.

Calling Secretary Morton Down.

President Cleveland once had occasion
to disavow and repudiate declaration of
Secretary Carlisle for silver payments. He
ought promptly to disavow and repudatc

against silver rehabilitation. [Thls he
has at last done, but without explain

A letter recently received by Secre-
tary Atherton, of the Scranton board of
trade, sheds valuable light upon the
question, Do trolley car tenders fend?
1t is from H. II. Littell, vice-president
and general manager of the Buffalo
Railway company. In this letter Mr..
Littell says: 1.-THE fender that we have
in use Is manufactured by ourselves
and is very satisfactory, indeed. We
have picked up quite a. large number of
men, women and children with the
tenders without any serious injury. In
one case we picked up woman and
two children at one time without any
injury to either of them. The device
can be seen on every street car in the
city Of Buffalo"
only the other day the New York
Sun contained the report of the picking
up by q car fender of a luckless pedes-
tran in Gotham, under circumstances
which, had the car been fenderless,
would probably have resulted in the
mans death. The official testimony of
the mayor of Baltimore that tenders
fend in that city is also in public evil
dence; apd the question Of the success
of these life-saving devices is thus
practically answered in the affirmative.
If tenders fend in Buffalo and Balti-
more, why should they not also fend
in Scranton? Upon what ground can
the Scranton Traction company further
delay the fulhllment Of it's written
promise to equip It's cars with safety
tenders as soon as safety tenders were
in the market?

The Washington Post believes that
"only a very small percentage of the
people of the United States, or of any
state in the Union, are gold monome-
tallists. An overwhelming majority Of
the opponents of free coinage are BIZ
metalists. They do not, however, be-
lieve that this country can successfully
go it alone and simultaneously main
tain free coinage and bimetalllsm. In
deed, they feel confident that an at
tempt to do so would speedily put the
country on silver basis" This Is
fair statement of the case. But If these
Opponents of free coinage" do not look
out, Mr.. Cleveland and his syndicate of
bankers will entrap them into gold
monometallism OF the baldest char
acter. That's what Mr.. Cleveland Is
working for.
