Great Britain. and France and Germany
follow at some distance. but In any OF
them the wages are W or three times
as much as they are In any silver and
ard country In the world. More than
that. wages In gold standard countries
have been advancing. and nave ad-
vanced most OF all In Germany. since IL
adopted the gold standard and a protec-
tive tariff.
As Is well known TO all those who
have cared to inform themselves. the
amount OF none per capita is much
larger In those countries which are upon
a gold standard, or use gold and limit
silver TO the amount which can be car
ried at par with gold. The four leading
countries which are practically upon a
gold basis have a per capita stock of
money as follows: United States, $26.02;
United Kingdom. s20.44: France. 1851:
Germany, 1856. The four leading coun-
tries which are on a silver basis have a
per capita stock of money as follows:
Mexico. s.: Japan. "a: India. 1914: China.
$3.50.
If those persons who seem to be pos
sessed with the evil spirit OF fat or
cheap money would but honestly study
the facts and open their minds to the
truth they would soon be clothed in their
right minds.

1t was shown that Mr.. Cobb, of Ala
bama, who has been unseated by the
House, got more votes in the negro coun-
ers, and thus secured al election. The
House concluded that there is an i'm
propriety in any district casting more
votes thar there are voters in it, and so
gave the seat to the contestant. Mr..
Cobb's friends. however. were not salts
time. to take more testimony, showing
that in twenty odd years of fraudulent
methods in elections those who resort to
them canno see why counties should not
count more votes than they have voters.

PASSED OVER yETOES
MAYORS OF GOTHAM AND BROOKLYN
OvERRULED by THE LEGISLATURES.
Greater New York Bill Again Adopted
by the House Amid Intense Excite
ment-Ready for the Governor.

April 22.-The Assembly has
passed the greater New York bill over the
vetoes of the Mayors of New York and
Brooklyn. The Senate had previously passed
the bill over the yetoes, and it now goes
before the Governor for his approval or veto.
II was sent to the Governor at $3.50 o'clock.
Such pent-up excitement as was witnessed
In the Assembly chamber during the taking
of the vote has rarely been seen in the
annals of the Assembly. There was no vo-
ciferousncss, very little heated debate, but
a nervous excitement, a pent-up feeling of
insecurity that made mems hands unsteady
and their faces flushed. Not until the one
hundred and forty-seventh vote on the bal
lot was reached did the feeling of insecure
" on the part o. either the adherents or
opponents of the measure find a rest, and
even then the fear that changes Of votes
might alter the result made Speaker Fish

agreeing upon a version. it would be
well. but the proposition of several
clergymen in Chicago to enc a fight
for the reading Of the Bible in the
chool has nothing to commend it to
people who are broad enough TO see the
mischief, not to say injustice. of such a
policy. There are thousands of people
who are conscientiously opposed to read

They are doubtless absurd, but, never
theless, their scruples cannot be ignored.

our robbing, stealing, and, in fact, muir

are turned loose without a cent, with no
prospects before them. no one to give
them a mouthful of food or lend a help

this was ever made for the establishment
of a home for ex-convicts. Even If the
sheriff greatly overestimates the proper
ton OF crimes perpetrated by that class
it is still an unanswerable argument.

fact. done a great wrong-when it sends
a convict back to the place of his convic-
ton and turns him loose without a cent

against him. and with detectives on his
track to prevent him from getting en-

A State committee on municipal reform
in Pennsylvania has prepared a new
form of charter for cities, which, after
establishing government by depart
ments. makes the heads of departments
elective by the people. This would be

councilmanic government. The essential
feature of all reform in municipal gov

The Connecticut Republican conven-
ton did not instruct its delegates to the
St. Louis convention. Four well-known
men were selected and the whole matter
left with them. They are doubtless in
favor of Speaker Reed now, but the Re-
publicans OF that State seem to think
that the best men will be sure to do the
wisest thing without instructions. What
they might have done if they had had a
committee chairman who had announced
that he would insist on instructions is a
contingency which cannot be discussed.

WASHINGTON. April PAN accident to
the team in which President Cleveland was
driving to Woodley this evening caused
alarming statements as to the safety Of the
President to spread quickly over the city.
Mr.. Cleveland left the White House at $50

some OF the harness the horses were liber-

NOT HONEST WITH THEMSELVES.

A correspondent in Noblesville has
called attention to a paragraph contrast
ing the interest which British consols
command with the last issue of bonds
by the present administration. After
calling attention to the quotations, he
proceeds as follows:
DO you not know hat If the United States
would cease to agitate the silver question
United States bonds would sell for as great
a premium as British consols, and that the
laborers of the United States would receive
as small wages as the British subjects?
The Journal does not know anything of
the kind. so far as wages are affected,
nor does any man who is candid and
gives any attention to statistics regard
ing wages AS a matter of fact, during
the Harrison administrator over s25.-
000.e 600 OF Observation-Disclosures
bonds were continued at = per cent.
which was ever a better rate for the
government than that of the British con-
sois for Great Britain. Wages were
higher her than now.
Every man OF average intelligence and
who Is honest with himself has learned
TWO innings curing the past year, Ddfne1y,
that the countries in which wages are
lowest are on a silver basis. and that
those countries which have the largest
amount Of money per capita are those
which are on a gold basis, with a silver
circulation which is either a full or linn
tied legal tender. Ii is a fact that the
lowest wages paid in the world are paid
in India, China. Japan. Mexico and other
nations which are on a silver basis. In
India the factory worker gets less than
20 cents for sixteen hours labor. and the
more than half naked native who tills
the soil gets from Z 20 10 cents a day.
In China wages are next to nothing. The
highest wages paid in any silver stand
ard country. except Mexico. where the
average is not half as high as i'm this
country. are paid in Japan. Some of
them have been given in the Journal be-
fore. but they nay be instructive in con-
nection with the assumptions of our cor
respondent:

During most Of the period from 1892
to 1872. inclusive, this country produced
an average of only twenty-five thousand
dollars worth of silver a year. and its
commercial value was $3.50 an ounce.
Now we produce sixty-ive million dol
lars worth, and it's commercial value is
only IS cents an ounce. A person who
cannot see the bearing of these different
conditions on the question of free COIN
age is beyond the reach of argument.
