SIBLEY AND SILVER,

That was a rather sinister compliment
which was paid to his free coinage friends
by Hon. ]. C. sibley yesterday in his Ra.
leigh speech, when he asserted there were
5000, 900 voters in the United States who
believed with him in regard to silver, but
that their enormous force was dissipated
by partisanship.
1t is a poor compliment to the intelligence
and honesty OF the 5000, 600. when only
a handful can be found, who, like the bril-.
liant Mr.. sibley, have the courage of their
convictions, and are willing to cast aside
all affection for the old parties and vote
as they think.
Possibly, however, Mr.. Sibiey may be
deceived both as to the quantity of voters
and the quality of their convictions. 1t is
quite probable that only a small portion OF
the 5000, 900 are really convinced that
the free coinage of silver would be Of sub
stantial benefit to this country and the
world, but are merely using the white metal
as a medium through which to express
their discomfort with conditions that are
unsatisfactory, but for which they cannot
devise a plain and unuiist aka bic remedy.
Nothing is clearer, however, than that
the political and social economist must dig
Ear deeper than veins of silver lie before
he reaches solution OF those problems
which are now vexing the minds of go
many students OF human affairs. Until
such solution is made plain, the GROWERS
may as well fool with the silver as with
any other question.

ABUSES on THE RIVER.

1t is not pleasing To criticise the nian-
Qgement of river vessels, Which are for the
most part officcrcd by courteous and genial
gentlemen, and whose ships furnish So vast
fund of recreation for citizens Of WASHING
ton and their visitors but IL must ncyerthc-
less be said with emphasis that it is the
duty Of sol:c one to pat stop 10 reckless
racing, ainicst disastrous iIifractions OF the
laws which are intended to g.vcfn the
course OF steamers, and the setting OF liquor
TO minors or to persons WHO are already
Intoxicated.
This criminal sale of liquor nearly pro-
duced riot ON a crowded vessel tie other
day, and, in fact, quiet and decent patrons
are panied and embarrassed almost every
trip they take by fights and the open
misconduct OF iiI-msnnered passengers.
A series of such abuses which have re-
gently been reported reached its climax
yesterday in the action of the steamer
Pentz in crossing the course of the City of
Richmond, escaping a disastrous collision
BY earfuily narrow margin, ,as exclusively
published in The Times this morning 1t
was a crininally reckless bit OF spitefUl ri.
vairy and might have been disastrous, not
only to those who are responsible for it,
but TO hundreds of passengers upon both
vessels.
While the Pentz's officers treated the
matter with indifference, and deny that
there was any danger of coliisio ,thestories
told by passengers contradict them, and
GUS reversal of the Richmond's engines pre-
vented terrible disaster
People do not pay their money to these
companies to have their eyes and eaB
offended by vulgar and insulting creatures,
nor to have their lives placed In jeopardy
by reckless manipulation of vessels.

GREED OF CONTRACTORS.

The apparently absolute refusal Of
Messrs Thorp& Bond, who have the contract
for the construction of the city postoffice,
to expend one cent, IL they can avoid it, TO
provide safeguards against loss OF life Of
their employees is a forcible illustration OF
the spirit which actuates too many, not to
say great majority.of employers of labor.
1t is new evidence that human labor is
looked upon as the cheapest of purchasable
commodities. and that the killing OF men who
risk their lives in places that are insecure
counts for little in the heartless and In many
ways horrible purpose of profit-making.
Laws have been enacted by State and ma
tional legislatures providing for safety APP
plianccs in varied and numerous depart
ments of labor. bui they have been generally
ignored and defied by the corporations.
which, almost without exception, hold
themselves 10 be superior to alllaw.
few years ago a La W was enacted conf
pelling railroad compa nies to adopt
uniform car coupling, that workmen
making up trains at night might not risk
their lives by coming in contact with
strange coupler. Insofar as the Tlmes can
discover, the great corporations have taken
very little interest in the matter, and the
Interstate Commerce Commission has al
ready instituted suits in many instances
TO compel compliance with the law.
So, apparently, it is with employers of
labor In all industrial fields. Immunity
OF wageworkers from death and injury is
the last thing to be considered, and the
saving of the almighty dollar the first and
all-important thought.
