From the New York Tribune.
To the dlalntefested outsider, the

They arc at work. From time 10 time

we see that In no other enlightened

Is there 80 much Of menace to
the existing order, or 80 much roagon
for popular dissatlsisction Nor does
the case anywhere elss seem 80 hopeless

t, do, that he is an egoiist not only In
words. but In deeds, and that
their welfare, the welfare Of the
iatherland. Is being sacrificed to his
selfish ambition. II they long endure
such knowledge suplnsly and in silence.
II they permit the census Of the Empire

Is not for q vain and inefficient personal

For years one Of the best known men in

HarrIson'a DoubtfuI stand.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The Republicans have often attempted
to justify their passage OF the Sherman
act on the ground that it was necessary
TO prevent free silver law. notwith
standing the fact that the President and
Congress ia both branches were Repubn
can Senator Sherman, spsaklne In his
book on this subject, says that
the SILENCE OF the President
on the matter gave rise 10 an
apprehension that If free coinage bill
should pass both houses he would
not feel nt liberty TO veto it. This does
not place MIR. Harrison, who was then
President, ia an enviable light. Before
he can ever again be President Of this
country he must declare himself deiin
ltelY and positively on this question. No
man whose views on the free coinage OF
silver are in doubt can be elected Presi
