TIMES GETTING BETTER.
Senator James Smith Talks on
Silver and Does Some
Trimming.

WASHINGTON, April %, 1S95.-Senator
Smith came over to Washington yester-
day. He is here, he says, simply for a
rest. He enjoys the bright and warm
spring sunshine which is just now 50
delightful in the National Capital, and he
has spent most of his time in an open
carriage.
I did not come over TO attend to any
official business" he said. "In fact, /
have no matters on hand of pressing inn
portance."
Senator Smith is watching with consid-
cradle anxiety and interest the present
spread of silverism in the West. and dis
cussed the situation with the correspon-
dent. He regsr : it as serious, but is
inclined to look upon the bright side in
f~orecasting the result.
What has caused this wave of free
silver?"ahe was asked.
1T undoubtedly arises from the general
depression in business. For that reason
l believe that it will soon disappear.
When cotton is going up in price, when
wheat is sixty cents a bushel instead of
forty, when a general improvement is no.
ticeable in all values, as is now the case,
it will be very hard to continue spread
ing the fallacies which are now captivat-
ing the West. As soon as times get bet
ter and people get to work they will lave
no time to stand around and discuss fin
ancial remedies
TIMES GETTING BETTER.
Are times getting better?''

P0LYGLOT STATE PRINTING.
New Jersey Public Documents in Ger
man. Italian. aud Dutch.

From the Newark Daily Advertiser.
1t was found upon inspection of the
State. House vaults that he tons of
printed matter which they contain are
largely made up of German printed docu-
ments. The last Governors message IN
German remains in the vaults intact.
There has been no demand for it. The
same is true of official documents in
Italian. Not a single copy has ever been
asked for by an italian. The State also
prints official documents in Dutch for the
supposed benefit of a small colony of
Hollanders in Passaic County. If these
are ever distributed. it is only because
there are some Hollanders who Ike to
see their native language in print.
1t is evident that there is no demand
worth considering for public documents
in foreign languages, and this being SO,
there is no excuse whatever for printing
them in any other text but English. The
Federal Government prints only in the
one language, although there are large

Senator James Smith. who some years
ago was a local politician of consider
able influence in Newark. has reached
Washington, again. from we know not
what remote region, and a newspaper
man has taken the opportunity OF inter-
viewing him. The Senator uttered a NUM-
Der of remarkable truths with great
courage and determination. He emphat-
tcally ayerred that he did not go to
Washington On any official business
this is reassuring to his constituents
and in fact he had no matters of press
ing Importance on hand. He further de-
clared positively that times were getting
better. I'm New Jersey" he said, W
are having a revival of business. 1t is
not a boom. for which I am very thank
full. as a boom would be more hurtful
than healthy, but the business congestion
is relaxing" This IS all of the highest
Importance. 1t is unassailably true be-
sides, and its utterance by the senator
will fill his friends with renewed hope
for his ultimate regeneration.
1t is a pity the Senator's courage oozed
out so when he tackled the silver ques-
ton. But If we cannot gaze upon him
with awe as a statue of frozen virtue.
we can watch with interest his efforts
as an acrobat when he deals with this
very trying question. The way he faces
both ways at the same time. and straddles
the issue while he dazzies the spectator.
shows him to be q past master in the
fine art of ward politics. Thus. he Is
sorry to see the agitation taken up. but
he does not see how it can do any harm.
AS times improve, people VIII care less
to d.scuss financial remedies. but it looks
very much as if the Democratic party
In Illinois would go over to free silver,
and an effort will be made to commit the
National party to it. The arguments OF
the silver people are plausible and they
may win. 1t may be that the people want
tostry an experiment. and as there IS q
great deal of sensible judgment in the
mass of the people. they may be trusted
to make it. t the same time. we ought
to do everything in our owe to educate
the people on the basis of sound money
and undisturbed National credit.
The yulgarly direct mind might call
this trimming, but that would be a
brutally coarse expression. unwarranted
by the occasion. Statesmanlike fnesse is
the proper term. The Senator is culti-
waiting the art of being all things to all
men In furtherance of the Presidential
boom which is terminating rapidly in his
brain.

The German rrInting Robbery.

Mr. Kuser and Mr.. Prieth hasten to
make all sorts of explanations about the
German printing done for the State.
They emphatically deny that there was
the least dishonesty or extravaganza in
the prices charged. Composition was
figured at about fifty per cent. over the
union scale to allow for handling. proof
reading, makeup, use of materials and
the like. All other items of cost. such
as paper, press work and binding were
calculated with the same moderation.
This Is all fair. If the facts are as Mr..
Kuser states them-and we do not pre-
tend to question his veracity-the charges
were fair and just, SO far as their method
Of computation goes. i
But the abuse of this business IS not
IN the details; 1t is in the very existence
Of the thing. The robbery is not in the
rates which were charged for printing
public documents in German. but in the
fact that they were printed in German
at all. Tens of thousands of dollars
have been paid for translating State re-
ports into German. Italian and Dutch,
and eiaborately printing them In these
languages in books which now lumber up
the vaults of the State House to abso-
luteiy their full original numbers. 1t Is
proven in evidence that. in, many cases,
not so much as one copy of some of
these elaborate transIations has ever
been called for by any citizen or distrf-
buted by the State. 1t does not matter,
in view of these facts, whether the COM
position was figured at a close CONNER
cial rate. there is no salvation in the
low price Of the paper or the binding or
The presswork. When the State spends
the taxpayers money on rubbish that
rannot even be given away, it is a job;
II Is an infamous job; it Is an outrage
pn the people.
OF course we do not know whether Mr..
Kuser or Mr.. Prieth knew how useless
The work was. This certainly ann b
proven. But 1t is equally impossible of

In the new play. "a Way to Win a

ents this evening at the Academy of
Music. 1t is said that the author, MIR.
Jerome K. Jerome has given to the pub
lie a work which Is both strong and pure
in story and situation. 1t deals in an
interesting phase of human nature, and
one which affords Mr.. Sothern an oppor-
tun.ty for the exercise of qualities which
this young actors admirers seldom give
him credit for. Especially esteemed for
his manner and grace in comedy, he
offers a surprise to many in the more
serious role which Jerome has set for
hfm. The story runs that Harry Hal
ward. a poor young barrsster. is in love
with Madge C~arruthers, a girl who
thinks herself wholly mercenary. She de-
clares that she will marry ne man with

ciphers the writing in the Photographed

only a small part of the truth, and when
suspicion points to Halward he cleverly

real heirs name, so he confesses, makes
restitution, and attempts to commit sui

share in the crime, and owns her love.
