PIT IT THROUGH.

In the long history Of rapid transit operations
In this city 50 many cheerful prospects nave
been blightcd that we now hesitate to express
even a hope tha; something definite Will be ac-
complished at an early day. Sickness. dcath.
designations. corporations and the courts nave
greatly hindered the efforts of a competent ana
well-meaning Commission. and it would be as
tonlshing If at this stage in the proceedings any
body was really sanguine as to the outlook But
there are some encouraging elements In the sit
uation nevertheless. The membership OF the
Board has been filled again by the appointment
of two men of affairs who are ideniihed Win
many successful undertakings, and Mr.. Steinway
is getting well; an alternative plan. which avoids
the main objection interposcd by the Supreme
Court last spring and which, moreover. was
originally preferred by some Of the highest aI-
thorties on the subject, has been submitted; II
becomes more evident every day that the ele-
yated railroads can never furnish the facilities
which are needed: public opinion grows stronger
all the time. and the Improvement IN fnanclal
conditions warrants the expectation that capital
will find the franchise attractive. Altogether
the Commission has never before had SO keen
an incentive to perseverance or so fair pros
pect of success.
We have said more than once that II the con-
ferring of additional privileges upon the ele-
waited railroads would give large practical bene
fits to the people it would be foolish to withhold
them merely because the Manhattan Company
had hitherto served the city badly. That Is still
our opinion. but 1t is obvious that nothing is to
he gained by waiting upon the convenience or
that obstinate corporation. The best way to Sc
cure an Improvement in the service of the over
head lines is TO go straight on as rapidly as pos
sible with the plan for an independent and ex-
tensive underground system, in obedience to the
popular decision given at the polls two years
ago. Mayor Strong is quoted as saying that the
two new Commissioners, whom he knows we'll
are "huslers.' We hope they will not only
verify that estimate in the sight of all the peo-
pie. but succeed in impartng fresh energy to
their colleagues. There is great deal of truth
in the saying that the way to get thing Is TO

CROKER At TIE HELM.

II is always pleasant to have Croker back.
His coming IS like the first robin of spring. 1t
Is a prophecy Of peaceful days at hand when
the investigating committee trOubleth not. lie
Is the harbinger Of harmOnized interests ana
quiet deals No more will Sheehan rage about
traitors and promise that never now or here
after will Tammany take back into its fold
those who revolted against its advocacy OF re-
pudation No more will PurrOy grow obstrep-
erous. No more will Tammany concern itself
with economics and the currency and other
questions too great for it. Croker knows when
he is wCll off and when TammaDy Is well of;
he recognizes limitations. He avoids all cross
examination under oath. Like good guerilla
leader. he doesn't let the boys draw dirks ON
one another and he perfectly understands that
the function of his gang is to plunder the city.
.pd he does not let 1t wander off on other en-
tcrprses.
Having spent a couple Of days reviewing the
sitration Croker announces that he mo

NOW and present Il united front TO the enemy

not so narrow as Sheehan. Having already
made his pile he has 10 disposition 10 ex-
.lude any honest Democrat from the bene-
opinions on any question Of craftsmanship a
test of regularity. that il nonsense. He Is cath
Ole enough to overlook all minor beliefs and
insist only on the essential doctrine that the
end OF politics Is the acquisition of spos. Of
course he is perfectly certain that the people
want Tammany back in power and is convinced
that they are sorry for having driven II out
They must know by this time that Tammany
..can give to the city a better and more econonl-
..ical administration than the Republicans have
done" In speaking of Tammany's better ad'
ininistration he was probably thinking Of the
days wisen. all vice and crime were rigidly
regulated and fined" by the police captains
and the proceeds used for the furtherance OF
Tammany good government. When speaking
OF the economy Of Tammany he doubtless re-
fers to the careful moderation displayed In
not asking the taxpayers TO support the boys
and keep the streets In proper condition at the
same time. 1t was more economical just to
collect for the boys. leave the streets un
cleaned and let future generations pay fol
public improvements. We've been hearing
about that sort OF good government and econo

old Tammany abuses.

Free Silver.

Mankato Free Press: A silver
dollar will now buy Is pounds of
sugar. If we should have the free
coinage of silver then this same
dollar would only buy 9 pounds,
and all other things a laboring
man buys with his wages would be
affected in the same way, while
his wages would be slowly increas-
ing, if indeed they increased at
all.
Within the last few years the
secretary of the treasury of
the United States, has pur-
chased in open market, by au-
thority of the law, enough silver
to make some 400 million silver
dollars. The silver that is in
each one of these silver dollars
cost the government somewhere
near 70 cents, and this same law
passed by congress, which COM
PEELED the secretary of the treas
ury to buy and coin and put in
circulation all these cheap silver
dollars, contained a clause that re-
quires and obligates the govern
ment to hold them up and main
tain them at a parity with gold.
At the present time the silver
in each of these dollars is worth
only about So cents, but the gov
eminent, so far has held them up
to parity with gold. But if the
free coinage people could secure
control of the government, these
cheap dollars would no longer be
maintained at parity with gold,
and then, as stated above, one of
them would buy only 9 pounds Of
sugar instead of IL, for as they
drop in value, sugar would CORES
pondingly increase. How would
the laboring man be be benefited
or improved by such a change?

nOcracy

Arrangements are contemplated
to secure Congressman McCleary
to make a few speeches in this
county this fall. The demand for
him is SO great that considerable
difficulty is expected in arranging
dates, however, it is hoped that
successful arrangements can be
made in securing the most learned
and able, orator of the northwest
on the financial question. He
would undoubtedly be able to pull
great many voters off the money
question fence, onto the republic
can side, by his ability to explain
the disastrous effect free silver
will have.

Chicago Record: E. V. Debs,
in letter on the political stu
alton, says free silver will not
remedy the ills of which the peo-
pie, and especially the working
people, complain. He does not re-
gard the issue as of much impor-
lance as some others in which the
working people are interested.
Unquestionably the most en-
thusiastic supporters of the free
silver movement outside of the
mining states are found among
the farmers, who are often heavily
in debt. They want relief from
mortgages, and think :the freel
coinage of silver will aid them by
making it easier to pay debts. Bit
the problems facing the wage work.
ers|:in the cities are different
They are more interested in the
quality of the money they are to
receive as wages than of that
which. they are to pay out On
account of debts. AS wage re-
ceivers the workingmen belong TO
the creditor class, and have the
same interest in maintaining the
soundness of the dollar as have
other receivers of money. Mt.
Debs is right, therefore, in saying
that free coinage will not remedy
tee ills of which workingmen com
plain. The reforms for which
trade unionists are striving are Of
a different nature, the progress
of which is rather interfered with
than advanced by the agitation Of
free silver.
