TILL AEAN-HILL DEBATE.

The discussion in the senate on Fri
Carolina, and Senator Hill, of New
York, while interesting and even sensa-
1ional at times, had none of the ele-
ments of greatness in it, or of scholar
ship, or dignity that have sometimes
characterized great debates in the up
per house of the American congress.
The pessimists for instance would see
a very marked decline between this
discussion and the historic debate be-
tween Robert Y. Hayne and Daniel
Webster or Calhoun and Webster.
But rough and rude as it was, devoid
of all that could fbe called classic or
scholarly it must have been positive
relief to the essay reading which the
senate of late years has become accus-
toned to, and which productions are
mis-labeled speeches.
Let the debate fall as far as it may
below debates that have been held in
the past, yet it was an earnest dis
cussion of live topic, and men talked
in phrases to be understood, with con-
viction behind them. and this is some
thing. 1t is positive progress, and
means advancement in the knowledge
and status Of political issues.
One utterance of Mr.. Hills was of
great Importance, that in which in eff
feet he declared that the majority of

OF course The Herald has had con-
fidence all along that the railroads to
the Deep Greek mining country and
Los Angeles would be constructed; but
we confess to strengthening of that
confidence now that contracts both for
grading and for ties have been let by
the company.
Yesterday afternoon the first few
miles of grading was let to the firm of
]. c. Watson and Brother, and soil ON
the Deep Creek branch will begin to
be moved on Monday. A contract for
10000 ties was also let yesterday, Eli
Openshaw of Santaquin, Utah county,
being the successful bidder.
The people of Utah have anxiously
looked for the commencement of this
work, as they hail it as breaking up
of our long period of hard times, the
beginning of a new era of prosperity;
and most devoutly do we hope that
their hopes will not be disappointed.

ton as the present one, it viii soon be
dangerous for any of US to express
ourselves on this and perhaps other
subjects.
CHARLES PINCKNEY HOUGH. /
Mr.. Hough is right in considering the
remarks of Senator Br;ce as significant
He is a bold, not to say an impudent
man, who after acknowledging the
probability of there being a majority
OF silver men in the national conven-.
ton. will say, mark my word, there
will be no free coinage plankl,
We could understand the statement,
there will be no silver candidate
nominated as over confident bombast
on the part of the Ohio senator. for it
requires. under the present rule that
obtains in Democratic conventions, two
thirds of the votes to nominate the
candidate; and while Mr.. Brice con-
cedes the probability of majority of
the convention being for free silver, he
might have doubts as to a two-thirds
majority.
But a majority may make the plat
form, and when Senator Brice infers
that Notwithstanding that majority
there will be no free coinage plank, he
arouses suspicious by such remarks.
1t is possible that it is only Senator
Brice's braggadocio, or it may mean,
Mr. Hough suggests, that the con-
vention is tc be bought by promises
of patronage, or by gold outright, or
overawed by administration influence
In any event it will be good thing
for the silver Democrats to be on the
| alert for treason, and wherever it
raises its head it should be crushed
without mercy. If anyone goes to the
national convention as a free silver
man and then betrays the people who
sent him, hanging by the neck until
he is dead would be too good for him.
for he would be guilty of treason in
one of its worst forms

WHAT DOES BR1oE MEAN:

The following letter on an interest
ing subject is self-explanatory;
TO the Editor of The Herald;
A Washington special to the st.
J,ouis Gla.be-Democrat reports the fol-
lowing from ex-senator Brice, pro-
rninent administration Democrat: I
would prefer to go to Europe with my
family but under some pressure will
go to Chicago. There VIII
he no silver candidate nominated.
1t is possible there
may be majority Of silver men
in the convention, but mark my word
there will be no free coinage plank
What. Mr.. Editor, is the rational in
depreciation of this language. A ma
iority of silver men in a national Demo-
cratic convention yet no expression IN
favor of silverl Why Not? Why will
a majority of the convention hesitate
to express any views they may enter
tain? Are they to be inundated, or
are they to be corrupted? In our re-
public what means can be used to pre-
vent a free and full expression of the
convictions of a majority of the con-
vention? Is it possible that patronage
and gold are to be the agencies in a
change Of mind, or a suppression of
opinion? If Mr.. Brice speaks by the
card will not the liberty loving people
of this country, regardless of political
utilization, manifest great anxiety and
interest concerning the controlling in
fiuences of the national Democratic
convention? Win there be state
Democratic silver convention with the
temerfty to take official cognizance of
such statement? Current report says
similar statements are frequently made
in gold syndicate circles. Merchants
and other borrowers in the east, are
now without opinion on finance. Al
though they have full understanding
as to the necessity of the free and I'M

MISSISSIPPI DEMOCRATS.

From Hon. A. c. NorreH, who re-
turned yesterday from a visit of some
four months to Mississippi, we learn
that the Democrats Of that state are
solidly for silver. They believe that
with the restoration of free coinage the
prosperity of the country will return
and be permanent. To Chicago they
will send a delegation pledged to sill
yer, but if the national convention
should adopt a gold platform and
nominate as a standard bearer a gold
standard man, the Democrats of Mis-
sissippi will still stay with the party,
and will not bolt. They will not be
enthusiastic for the ticket but they will
still be for it
If, on the other hand, the Chicago
convention adopts free silver plat
form and dominates a free silver can
6idate, then Mississippi and the whole
south will be solid for them and enthu-
sfastic for the Democratic ticket as
scarcely ever before.
We do not anticipate that our Demo-
cratic brethren of the south will have
the alternative of standing by the
Democratic party with gold platform
or boiling, for we expect that the Chi
cago convention will declare for free
silver. Up to the present time the in
dications are that the silver element Of
the party will control the convention.
This is not certain but probable, but it
must not be forgotten that the gold
bugs are active, alert and aggressive,
and the silver men have no time to
spare in conjecture between now and
July Z. 1t must be work, work, work.
1t is the only guarantee Of success.

worth to the government the price Iaid
to have it constructed. 1t should be
remembered that the lands given the
roads were of absolutely no value at
that time, that the building OF the
roads made them valuable. And can
any money price be placed upon the
value it was to the country to nave
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts united
by a railroad in 1859? All this cannot
in any way excuse or justify the way
in which those roads have been man
aged, but it should all be remembered
when the government is condemned, as
is sometimes the case, for aiding them
in the first instance.
This question of the indebtedness OF
the Pacific roads to the government mas
raised the other question of govern
ment ownership of them and their OPP
GRAFTON by it. On this important point
we are in the fullest accord with the
recommendation of the committee. 1T
is so important and goes so to the very
bottom of the whole question in this
regard, that we quote it:
This committee will not recommend
any departure from the settled policy
of the government to keep itself free
from any connection with ownership
or operation of railways This commit
tee would not recommend and feels
sure the good sense of the people will
not approve any legislation looking to
the control and operation by the gov
eminent of a single system of railway
in competition with those controlled
and operated by private enterprise, or
to the inauguration of policy, the
logical outcome Of which must be the
ultimate control and operation by the
government of the great railway sys-
tens of the United States In the
opinion of this committee the govern
ment had far better abandon its en-
tire interest in these properties tnan
take the first step in scheme so vast
and perilous.
The good sense of the people will en-
dorse every word of the above. AS
there stated, the logical outcome of the
Inauguration of government ownership
of these roads must be the ultimate
control and operation of all the rail-
way systems of the United States. With
that would come the ownership and
operation of other great enterprises by
the government, until there would be
complete state socialism. We cannot
too heartily endorse that portion of the
report which declares that in the
opinion of this committee the govern
ment had far better abandon its en-
tire interest in these properties than
take the first step in a scheme so vast
and perilous' A thousand times bet
ter would it be for the government to
abandon it's interests in these roads
than for it to become the sole owner
of them and operate them.
The report Of the committee as
whole is very good. If not adopted 1T
will certainly stave off further &C
ton for this session of congress at
least.
