A QUESTION ANSWERED.

The passion for asking questions about silver,
mumps the syllable augment and other impor-
tant topics has crossed the Atlantic. to be re-
fected back In the columns Of American news
papers The gentleman who does the Eastern
Hemisphere for our esteemed contemporary,
The Philadelphia Press" was Overtaken In
London the other day by the alarming rumor
that on the occasion of the Cars triumpnal
entry into Moscow something extraordinary and
reprehensible had been the matter with the legs
of the Hon. Clifton X. Breckenridge, Amerl-
can Minister near the court Of His Imperial
Majesty Upon reducing this sinister report to
it's lowest terms the hcmispherical gentleman
referred to nscertaned that it was not Mr.
Breckinridge's legs, but the garment In which
they were veiled from the gaze Of the multitude
that had caused remark and awakened solicf-
tude In and around the ancient capital OF Nico-
las. Accordingly, having in a measure recov-
cred his composure, he wired Minister Breck-
"inridge asking him If 1t was true that he wore
.knee-breeches at the ceremony" on Thursday
last, and subsequently received this explicit and
reass,iring reply: II wore at the entry and
presentation black knee ebreeches. the costume
'prescribed for all guests not authorized to wear
"a uniform or official costume" From this the
anxious inquirer infers that "the costume pre-
'scribed by the master Of ceremonies must be
"worn by the guests present at the ceremonies
attendant upon the entry"
Thus at a single stroke. and not at ruinous ex-
pensc. Is forever removed from the arena OF con-
troversy a question which might have devel
oped into burning issue and set the world on
fire. Mr.. Breckinridges legs are all right. they
were triumphantly apparelled for the Cars en-
try. and In our opinion they would run uncom-
monty we'll for the Presidency on the Demo
cratic ticket.

THE sCBOOL SUPERINTENDENT

The determination Of the trustees and faculty
Of Johns Hopkins University and the best citi-
Zens Of Baltimore to keep President Gilman at
the post where he has accomplished n remark
able work Is n tribute honorable TO those who
bcstow and TO him who receives it, Nor can II
be fairly said that he has shown the least dis
courtesy toward his supporters for the office Of
City Superintendent OF NowYork schools by
his apparently decisive conclusion that he ought
to remain where he is He did not consent 10
become q candidate for the Supcrintendency,
but merely promised that he would seriously
consider the proposition which some members
of the Board of Education pressed upon him
Moreover, it cannot be supposed that the pro-
ceedings of the Board last Wednesday were
especially ngreeab to him. When there seemed
to be strong probability that Ncw-Yorl might
secure his services. his earnest advocates found
hemselyes-tempOrarily. at least-in minor
ity. and upon a vote which to some extent tested
the general disposition Of the Commissioners
his election under any circumstances was shown
to be uncertain. This action was assilretily not
of Il kind TO overcome DR.. Gilman's natural re,
luctance to leave the university which he has
built up and tempt him to undertake q new
work in New-York. In spite Of all the pressure
exer;ed In Baltimore. which he must In meas.
ure have fOrcseen 1t Is not improbable that he
would have accepted an immediate and unani-
nous offer from this city
Naturally, those members Of the Board Of
Education who induced DR. Gilman to consider
the Superintendency and expected TO persuade
others to join in electing him want to believe
that there is still a chance Of carrying out their
plan. We wish there We're, but there Is little
reason to hope that he will reconsider the prac.

AZ IDE4L ElNUIUITE-

The Democrats of South Carolina have come
bravely TO the rescue Of their party in the Ma
ton. With free silver as n rallying cry and
Benjamin X. Tilmnn as n candidate they have
set out for the Chicago Convention. In them is
the hope Of a united Democracy. and one might
almost say of Il united country. Tlllman offers
of the silver Republic which the RedHended
Rooster Of the Rockies proclaimed the other day
at Denver. In that speech Mr.. Belford assumed
that there was no salvation for the sIlvcrite but
secession and he called upon Senator Teller not
to stultfy himself by going to ST. Louis to Il con-
yention sure 10 declare in favor Of gold and then
dishonor himself by boiling but to come out nt
once as the leader Of the Silver party and when
the rest ~ the country declared against the free
coinage of silver to join in the establishment Of
a new nation whose eastern boundary should be
the Mississippi. Now even the Red Hended
Rooster Of the Rockies though he be earnest for
silver to the verge OF secession. will doubtless
admit that II Is better not to establish a new
nation. or even third party, unless 1t Is abso-
lutely necessary When an avenue Of escape Is
offered which will unite the Democracy East
and West under good silver candidate he will
be content with that solution and leave Teller
to 30 to St Louis and bolt In peace
Tillman offers the solution. He is the ideal
