The most ardent free-silverite. the most

must be convinced 10y the result of last
Tuesdays election that the people OF the
United States viii not tolerate the Tree

ii the sound-moncy sentiment were eX-
actly the Mckinley vote the result would
be decisive and final. But beyond all
question the sound-moncy sentiment IS
far stronger than the Mckinley vote.
There were perhaps 100000 Democrats
who DO not believe i'm the free and UNI
limited coinage Of silver and yet voted
for Bryan. They were Democrats who
think that the preservation OF their party
organization is more important than tho
money question. or. Democrats who felt
that having taken part i'm the primaries.
they were bound by the action OF the
party's highest convention. Mckinley
election is not the triumph of the Repuo-
lican party. but of the cause Of sound
currency While every frec-silyer vote in
the country that was cast went for
Bryan. by no means the full sound-money
vote was given TO Mckinley.
The frec-silvcr aeitators must perceive
this; the Democratic party cannot afford
10 ignore it. II will De useless 90 continue
the demand for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at IL TO ]; it would DE
worse than Iolly for the Democracy 20

sense should have its sway, even with
those who honestly believe that the free
coinage OF silver would be a great boon
TO the country. rhcy should look the
facts sQuarcly IN the face and accept
their logic. They should realize that their
ideas cann1t prevail. and that the only
result of confined silver agitation would
be 20 disturb business. We must believe
that this will be the conclusion both OF
the frec-silver leaders and Of the masses
who have been carried away by the free

city The incineration of street refuse
would be an immediate agent for good,
for it would consume all that is now carted'
to these scattered dumps and thus the

materially Increase the speed and eff

a long step toward keeping the streets OF

right 10 expect them to be.
II is desirable that this important addi-
ton to the sanitation of the service be

The Endorsement given the Commission
ers' plan to establish street refuse crema-
tory by the East Washington Citizens
Association may be regarded as represent
ing quite accurately the views OF nearly
everybody in the District. 1t is an i'm
provement called for by every considera-
tion of health and cleanliness, and the ,ex-
pensc involved in putting 1t in operation is
trifling in proportion to the bcnefit IL Will
confer upon the community. Besides, it
will serve a double purpose-keep the streets
free from all sorts of rubbish and destroy
the cause OF a great deal OF sickness.
The more important consideration, or
course. is that which relates TO the public
health IL must be borne in mind that
the ingredients of which cart load OF

some dump include rags, wall paper aud
other germinfested contents of rooms in

posted and when the dump GENES up to

note If this Ohio idea is going TO be suffi-s
GENTLY persuasive to induce other States
to follow suit
1t is somewhat doubtful if such Gus

legislation though it is far more hon

Treating is an unmitigatcd nuisance. 1t
makes for extravaganza and inebrcty.
1t encourages men to spend more money
than they can afford and to drink more
than they really want, and certainly more
than is good for them. ii has tendency

man, was called on for a speech. at this
,o,nt Parker called for the regular order or
business, AMI Morague knocked him from
his seat, and carried the chair out OF the
