The Philadelphia Record yesterday
printed an interesting editorial urging
straddlers on the silver question to
get Off the fence. 1t urges those who
are for sound money to rally round the
president; and wants those who are for
unsound money to say so. The Record,
we dare say, believes that it has said
sensible thing. But what does it
mean? What rs the Records pro-
gramme? To what legislation is it
pledged3
We are coming virtually no silver
now. That which has been coined is
floated on gold basis. If we under
stand the presidents position, he de-
sires to continue this gold basis, and
does not wish to coin any more silver.
AS silver Is retired. ne would issue state

currency consist Of gold and paper The
president himself does not say that this
is his policy; but 1t is the policy Of his
chief friends, and hence must be re-
garded as his policy until he outlines a
different one.
What Republican, In the light Of his
partys last national and state plat
forms, can indorse this policy? Those
platforms declare unequivocaMy for the
use Of both gold ana silver. They do
not contemplate the retirement of sill
yer. They are not hostile to its use.
They only exact that there shall be
such legislative restrictions as shall
make every coined dollar the exact
equal Of every other dollar, both In
purchasing and debt-paying power. A
state bank note dollar would not be the
equal Of gold or a silver dollar. 1t

Advantages Of BimetaIIism.

The argument that bank checks are
taking the place Of metallic currency,
and that the more checks we use the
less money we shall need, is one of
those half-truths which are sometimes
more dangerous than entire falsehoods.
In 1892, It IL true, the aggregate bank
clearings Of the United States were
$4,000, 100000, or a thousand times as
much as the estimated value OF the gold
money then current in the country.
But in 1894. with precisely as much
gold money current as In 1892, the bank
clearlngs dropped to $4,000. 900, 900, a to-
tai less than that Of any year since
1877
The reason for this drop Is apparent.
Confidence had been sacrificed through
the contraction Of our gold currency
incident to speculative shipments
abroad; and many people who, in 1892,
used and accepted checks freely. would,
in 1894, do neither. This comparison
vividly shows the danger inherent in a
single metallic standard. whether of

SENATOR PENROSE.
From the Philadelphia INQUIRER.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
A word Of praise Is due Senator Penrose
for his mastery handling of the investi-
eating resolution. 1t was not his. He
hesitated about taking a step that might
subject him to the criticism that he was
seeking revenge for the brutal manner in
which he was dislodged from his candi-
dacy for the mayoralty. But when the
Municipal association and the Municipal
league demanded In the name Of justice
to a stricken city that a committee of in
quiry be named. and when so strong a
man as Silas w. Petit appeared to urge
the passage Of a resolution which he had
himself drawn, Senator Penrose could
hesitate no longer.
He has won his fight against great odds.
No one not conversant with the facts can
form the slightest idea Of the tremendous
pressure brought to bear to defeat this
resolution. Certain corporations that are
believed to have had shady transactions
with councils have exerted every infiu-
ence.. When Senator Quay arrived In
Washington from Florida to find that
Penrose had introduced the resolution he
was besieged. 1t would surprise the peo-
pie OF Philadelphia to learn Of the men
who have made pilgrimages to Washing
ton. Some Of them pass for millionaires
ana StanQ nlBn IN the community, ana YET
most of them have had interests In one or
more of the companies that have benefited
through ordinances passed by councils.
1t was very well understood that should
Senator Quay declare against the policy
of adopting the resolution 1t would fail.
In the face of the opposition of almost
gigantic proportions, and considering Its
source II must have required a display Of
nerve on the part of the senator to refuse
to exert his influence against the re-
form organizations Of Philadelphia. 1t Is
to his honor that he did refuse. Penrose
was left free to wage his contest, and the
result is a victory that any one might be
proud of. Senator Penrose easily car
ries off the honors OF this legislative ses-
sion.
If, as result of the Investigation about
to be instituted, reform shall come to
Philadelphia and the city shall be freed
from a heavy burden of rascality, that re-
form will be due to the aggressive and
persistent work of Senator Boies Penrose
All honor to him.

For Life. -.s4-.=.
"In passing by the criminal court
building the other day." said Luther
Latin Mills, II recalled, among my
memories somehow connected with it,
that of remarkable leap for liberty. :
"About Is years ago I prosecuted a
young fellow for the crime of burglary
He was convicted and sentenced to pris-
on for term Of six years. After SEN
tence, as he was being conveyed by a
deputy sheriff from the courtroom to
the Jail, across the passage connecting
the two buildings, which I have often
regarded as Bridge Of Signs, the
young burglar suddenly sprang over the
low hand railing, which was then the
only protection Of the bridge, landed on
his feet 45 feet below, aid, recovering
himself, made a bold dash for liberty.
He started on a run north on Dearborn
avenue, pursued by deputy sheriffs and
policemen, and was finally recaptured
in barn not far from Lincoln park.
When they brought him back, his face
flushed, his eyes flashing, his shirt COL
lar thrown open, he looked like young
hero of romance. A few days later he
was taken to states prison, where he
served his term.
passing over the Clark street bridge
there REQUIRED to me the memory of an
other leap-one for life. One evening
about five years ago on approaching that
bridge l found it open and a crowd of
about 1900 men and women in state
of excitement. A policeman informed
me that woman had fallen into the
river. What's being done to save her?'
I demanded. Before the officer had a
chance to reply a young fellow rushed
through the crowd, threw off his coat
and vest put his hands together and
shot into the water. He caught the
woman as she was going down the third
time, struck out for the shore, and both
he and she were landed in safety.
Il heard man say to the rescuer,
What's your name?' 4 have no name
in which the public is interested, he
replied. But you re hero, urged the
man, and your name deserves to be
made known The young man shook
his head and peremptorily refused to d.
vulge his name. happened to get
good look at the fellow, and there came
to me sudden flash of recognition. He
was the same one who had made the
leap for liberty from the Bridge Of Signs.
Things went better with the young
fellow after that" continued Mr.. Mills.
