lutte fairness and Justice.

The refusal OF the House 90 agree 90 a
time for taking vote on the Carlisle
bill has strengthened the impression that
this congress win not pass q banking
and currency bill. and that If % does NOT
the President will call am extra session
~ The next congress Immediately after
March e. 10 o. stated foo the Washington
dispatches that s-he President does not
expect that this congress viii 10 anything
toward settling thu currency question. and
that b. said as much 10 a visitor last
Tuesday. and. in addition. intimated that
ne regarded the settlement of the ques-
tion as being Of such Importance that h.
would call an extra session Of The next
congress 10 settle IT,
AT no time has there been much rroha-
bilty Of the passage Of q banking and cur
rency bill by this congress. u does not
look as II the House could agree upon
BILL and II it could the bin il would send
TO the Senate would not In all probability,
be acceptable to IL. II is true that the diff
ferences between the House and Senate
might b. adjusted 10y committee of con-
ference. but il would take a good while
for bill to reach such committee and
this congress hasn't very much time to de-
vote TO banking and currency measure.
None OF the great appropriation bills has
yet been acted upon. and only about seven
weeks Of the life Of this congress remain.
II there were a pretty general agreement
as to what ought TO be done TO avert the
danger, which is threatened by the exist
ing financial conditions. there would be
plenty Of time to pass a banking and cur
rency bill. In the absence Of such agree
ment it would take a long time and
great deal Of discussion to sufficiently har-
monte existing differences 10 permit Of
financial legislation of a remedial charac-
ter.
But what will the chances in the next
congress be for passing a banking and cur
rency bill? VIII they be any better than
they are in this? The House will be
strongly republican, and &c is probable
that 1t could agree upon bin without
great deal Of trouble. The Serate, how
ever. will be pretty evenly divided between
the democrats and republicans. and there
will be "a good many silver senators. The
senator's who favor the free and unlimited
coinage of silver Will not consent to any
bill that does not deal literally with sill
yer, and the democrats will likely oppose
any measure that appears to have for its
object the strengthening Of the Republi-
can party. 1t may be almost as difficult
therefore. to get currency bill through
the next congress as it is to get one
through this.
The main hope for remedial financial
legislation is that the financial situation
will become so dangerous that public SEN
timent will force congress to do some
thing toward bringing about "a better state
of things. The Senate would not have
passed the bill repeating the PURCHASING
clause Of the Sherman silver act if it
had not been forced to do so by public
clamor, and it may turn out that only
vigorous expression of the will of the
people will bring about legislation to
better the financial situation.

The greenbaels and treasury notes
from which our republican CONTEMPORARIES
say We are suffering are all the products
Of republican legislation, but the country
is not interested in the partisan discus
sion of republicans and democrats over the
responsibility for the establishment of
our defective financial system. What il
IS interested in is the needed reform Of
that system. The way for either party
now TO gain the appreciation OF the people
is not in proving that the other party
founded bad financial system, but ia
If neither party will do this both win Be-
dismissed with the righteous condemna-
ten. "a plague o. both Your houses. " The
people do not Yet acknowledge that they
We're created merely to obey the lash and
do the service of parties which have no
higher aims than efice-holding at the tax
payers expense.

1t is said that Senator John Martin of
Kansas will retire from office next March
a penniless man. Politics has cost him a
fortune and will leave him without even a
roof over his head. His residence in To-
peka, worth $4,000 is the subject of a fore
closure suit for $1,000. The senator viii

The finest of all sense is common sense,

his great interest in the Hawaiian al

Better Have a Little INVESTIGATION.

The charges made by Guilmartin & Co.
are the subject Of a good deal of talk.
They are calculated to create the inn
preston that those who buy for the city
are not as careful of the city's inter-
ests as they would be of their own i'm
terests 1t is clear that in the case TO
to which Guilmartin * Co. cali atten-
ton rule of council was violated. If
it is a good rule it ought to be complied
with. and if bad one it ought to be
abolished.
The fact that it has not been com
Piled with arouses suspicion in the
public mind that the city's interests may
have suffered in consequence of "a dis
regard of it. Both of Mayor Melon
ough's administrations have had the con
fidence of the public in marked degree.
Therefore this publication of Guilmartln
& Co. excites surprise and comment.
The speculations to which it gives rise
should be met at once by plain and
authoritative statement of all the facts.
We do not know what course the council
will adopt in the matter, but we pre-
sumo that it will take steps at once to
show that there has been no wrong doing
of any kind, and that though a rule may
have been disregarded relative TO the
purchase of supplies. the citys interests
have not suffered in any respect. Unless
this course is taken the public may
magnify what may be a comparatively
unimportant affair into actual wrong
doing.

If Savannah desires to receive due
credit for what she does towards the
relief of the suffering farmers in Ne
braska, all contributions should be bought
and loaded aboard cars here. and the
cars should be placarded so that those
to whom the relief stores are sent will
know that they come from Savannah.
This is not that our people wish 10 herald
their charity. but in order that credit
may be given where credit is due. In
everything that is done towards adding
to the good name of Georgia. Savannah
has done not only her fun share but
more, and as a rule she has received
but little credit for it, Il is not ueces-
sary to cite any special cases. but our
people know that their city is often made
to play second fiddle TO other places
where cheek takes the place of g6od
works. Let what money that is raised
be spent here for supplies. and let the
cars carrying the contributions be labelled
in big letters, From Savannah, Ga"
And it would not be bad idea 70 send
some one along to see that the inscrip-
ton is not changed before the cars cross
the state line.
