An Ex-Editor Speaks Out.

The Constitution ventured to rem ark
the other day that if the editorial wri-
tiers on the New York newspapers
were permitted to present their fran
cial views, untrammeled by considera-
tions affecting the supposed interests
of their counting rooms, they would
advocate the restoration of silver to
its old place in our currency without
regard to the action of other nations.
This statement is confirmed by a let
ter which Colonel John A. Cockerill
contributes to The New York Recor-
der-one of the two honestly edited
papers in the metropolis. Colonel
Cockerill was for a time the editor of
The New York World, and, under his
administration, it was as warm in its
devotion to the single gold standard as
it is now. A little later Colonel Cock
Grill was editor of the Morning Adrer-
tiser and also of the Commercial Id
rertiser. Both of these journals were
and are opposed to the restoration of
silver. Colonel Cockerill was com
PEELED to conform his views to the poll
cy of the counting room.
But in his letter. contributed to the
Recorder of Monday, Colonel Cockerill
declares that ave would be untrue to
the highest and best interests of all our
people if we should yield to the de-
mands OF. the money changers of Eu-
rope and demonetize silver. Let US
have our own currency" he insists,
upon ratio satisfactory to ourselves
alone, and without the slightest refer
ence to what Europe may desire"
Being no longer trammeled by the
counting rooms of the World and the
two AdUertiSers Colonel Cockerill is
able to speak out in his own person
and protest against the wreck and ruin
brought upon our people by a moneta-
ry policy dictated by European money
changers through their agents and
partners in Wall Street.
The above article. copied from the
Atlanta Constitution. gives force to the
point we made in a recent issue that
the great dailies are controlled by the
money power. Colonel Cockerill was
compelled to conform his views to the
policy of the oou nting ROOM" and Wall
Street controls the policy OF the count
ing room.

we are well assured. 1t will certainly
do away with the draggle-tailed coun-
try editor, with opinions as varied and
multifarious as the patches on his
trousers.
The State might also establish, in
connection with the University and its
Normal Schools. schools to teach bicy
Gle riding, as bikes are becoming every
day more used as method of loco
motion. This would furnish a market
for bicycles. which would be boon to
the manufacturers, and at the same
time our young ladies be taught to ride
one of these vehicles on one side in a
graceful manner. Riding schools
should also be established, which
would help the horse market in its
present depressed state. as we'll as give
our young men and women training in
the very essential accomplishment of
| riding. The State, of course, furnish

quite crude and unsatisfactory % the
public. In fact 1t not infrelue ntly oc-
ours that the public is defrauded out
of its money by the attempts of mere
tyros to render Hamlet, King Lear. or
the Merry Wives of Windsor. This
could be prevented by the establish
ment of a theater in connection with
our State University and our State
Normal Schools. where proper training
could be given to those who desire to
60 upon the stage. The green room
would no doubt soon become quite at
tractive.
The fact is, there is 10 limit to the
aomunt of good the State can do with
the money of its people, when it once
sets about it in earnest, regardless Of
any principle of economy or Justice.

That School of Journalism.

There is an effort being made to es.
tablish School Of Journalism in con.
nection with our State University.
This is a most laudable enterprise.
The State. by forming the minds OF
the future editors of the land, will be
enabled to avoid many quicksands and
sunken rocks that. as matters now
stand. often are found in the path. Oh
course, no person that cannot reach
the standard established by the State
will be allowed to engage in calling
of such Importance to the public vel
fare as running country paper. The
beauties of the single Gold Standard.
or Bimetalism on the gold basis, will
be so instilled into the minds of the
future editor, that society will be in
no danger from the senseless agitation

der the civilizing and humanizing in
fiuence of the editor educated for his
life work by the State. The State
might go a step further and compel
the editor that it has had hand in
shaping to wear a uniform, so that he
might be at all times distinguished
from the common herd, and the eye of
the public not be offended by the uu-
couth and disheveled appearance that
so many of our editors now present
1t also would be quite in order for the
State to furnish the uniform at public
cost, as well as the paper, type-and,
in fact, the whole outfit. Iu this way
it could control the great avenues of
Information and permit nothing to
reach. the ears Of the common people
that would not be for their good. No
tale of any indiscretion on the part of
the members of our great families
the Astors, Vanderbilts, Goulds, Fairs,
and others of that class, would ever
reach the ears of the vulgar rabble, to
be made the topic of conversation by
every impudent hind who might choose
to discuss the affairs of his betters.
The seditious utterances of those pub
lie speakers who profess an admir-
alton for the principles of that arch
Anarchist, Thomas jefferson, would
not be sown broadcast over the land,
under such circumstances. In fact,
the good likely to grow out of this
State School of Journalism is so far
reaching and of such vast magnitude
that the mind can only grasp the rude
outlines of the scheme. OF one thing

During the campaign of '92. under
the management of Col. Jones, the Re
public had powerful influence because
it voiced the sentiment of the Western
Democracy and was consistent and in
touch with the people. 1t was Wes-
tern paper-all wool and yard wide.
1t was true to the people and their in
terests and the capitalists had no con-
troll over it.
| But this sort of journalism did not
suit Dave Francis-the David B. Hill
of Missouri-and his gang of grain
gamblers, so they bought controlling
interest in the paper and '.fred" Col
Jones. Since then the Republic has
been the mouth-piece Of capitalists and
an adjunct to the Republican party on
the financial question. 1t is an admin

of praise for any congressman who

opposing the administration on the sill

to the reelection of Cobb-the wealthy
anti silver congressman from St. Louis

IT is stated on good authority that
Mr.Cleveland has been counseling with
Honest John Sherman of Ohio and
Senator Allison of Iowa, as to what
financial measures the Administr:tiOn
should adopt. This is as it should
have been at first. II Mr.. Cleveland
had given Senator Sherman the Treas
ury portfolio at the outset, Democrats
would not have been in doubt for some
months as to which party he really be-
louged. OF course, that matter was
set at rest months ago. No Democrat
now doubts as to how Mr.. Cleveland
should be classed politically. Howev-
err, it seemss that what has happened
has been for the best. Had Mr.. Sher-
man been entrusted with the Treasury
portfolio. John Griffin Carlisle would
still be in possession of a reputation to
which he has not the slightest title.
The flock of Cuckoos would not have
been so large or variegated. Even
Senator Mills might be now posing as
the ideal Democrat. We shall next
hear of the Chinese General-in-Chief
calling on the Japs for assistance in
preparing a plan OF campaign against
them.
