The silver men are alleging that the
sound money victory in the Michigan
Democratic convention was due largely
to the labors of Democratic office-holders,
and in support of their statements they
exhibit a olroula: sent by Don Dickinson
to every offce-holder in the state, in
tructing them TO use every means IN their
power to seoura declaration for sound
money. Time was when such activity on
the part of the office-holders would have
been sufficient cause for removal; but
President Clevelaud's 'pernicious activ-
ity" order expired with his first term
and has not been revived in his sc ond.
There is still such thing as ''pernicious
activity" however, and a display of
it would undoubtedly be regarded as good
ground for cutting off the office holder S
official head. If any Democratic offioial
thinks otherwise let him undertake to
whoop for free silver in some Democratic
convention.

CURRENT COMMENT.
vERMoNT's TREACHEROUs DEED

Boston Transcript)
Vermont is at this time under the con-
troll of about as cheap set Of politicians
as ever dominated state, and for this
assertion we have abundant Republican
testimony. We shall not attempt to trace
any connection between such partisan
conditions and the absence of growth in
the population living among the Green
Mountains. But this we do say unre-
servedly, that Republican state like
Vermont could hardly have covered itself
with deeper disgrace than has befallen
Vermont or assisting potently in defeat
ing Thomas B. Reed. Head and
shoulders above any other Republican
down in the house OF his avowed friends,
bound by ties Of sentiment and locality
TO see to it that no harm came to Reeds
candidacy in the state which they con-
trolled.
The foul blow might have been averted
by the men who direct Vermont politics,
and MIR. Reed have held the prestige,
which would have been worth a good
deal to him of being the unanimous
choice Of New England. Ali the oppo-
sition to him in the Eastern States would
have vanished had Vermont continued
true. Senator Chandler exhibited weak
ness i'll managing the New Hampshire
state convention, but he cannot be
charged with willingly contributing to
the SUCCESS of the Mckinley propaganda
That was left to the strongest kepubli-
can state IN the Union. Well did the
Mckinley ties use the advantage it gave to
them in the Illinois convention. And the
whole scheme seemed to be contrived for
that purpose. We do not pretend to say
who were the active agents in this das-

A national bankrupt law is a much
neaded measure, and it would be crafty
ing to be able to believe that the bill that
has just passed the House will pass
the Senate also. But this is too much to
hope. Probably the gentlemen from Col
orado and the other states where they
raise silver would consent to its passage
only on condition that free coinage
amendment was attached to it, and even
though there was majority for the bill,
these Voluble gentlemen could succeed

President Harrison is reported as
saying that the ST. Louis platform can
not bs too conservative on the tariff or
too radical on the currency. This is
sound. There Is not the slightest danger
that the tariff declaration will not be
strong enough, if it is not near ly as
strong as some of the extremists would
like to make it. There is no element.in the
Republican party opposed to reasonable
amount of protection. But unfortunate
ly as regards the currency the case is
different. Here radical Disagreement
exists and anything like satisfactory
compromise is impossible. The platform
must declare for gold or for free coinage,
to suit either Of the oontend1ng factions.
A compromise will make both of them
lukewarm. A radical silver or gold plat
form is demanded and as the vast major
ity of the Republicans are in favor of the
latter that ought to be adopted, free from
all ambiguity or obsourity.

The Expansion of Religion. Six Lee
lures delivered before the Lowell Institute
by E. Winchester Donald, Rector of
Trinity Church in the city Of Boston.
We have here a plain but handso me
binding, and delightfully."- clear, large
print; the latter is much by way of at
traction for those whose eyes object to
small type OF oramped page. For the
contents of these Lowell Lectures of DR..
Donald's, we can only say they merit
more than hackneyed words of praise
The treatment of high themes is SIMPLE
thoughtful and noble; without exagger-
alton or excitement. Strength is breathed
through every line. The faith here set
forth is the result of clear thinking; and
analysis and logic have contributed ito
the more spiritual processes of thought
fibre and vigor not to be lightly esti-
mated. For the dogmatist, DR.. Donald
will have no message: for tho soul that
can conceive universal religion, very
pregnant one. "Christianity is the
great expansion of Religion, not simply
Of Judaism, but of every form of Religion
which has sensitized the conscience, in
yigorated the will and directed the hopes
of mankind. So far from lowering the
religion of Jesus to the level of the So
called man-made religions, this ooncep-
tion of it lifts it clean out of every petty,
partial, provincial notion of it, and sets
it in the heaven of humanity's variant
yet ever related beliefs, there to shine as
the star whose magnitude and beauty
dims all its sister stars, yet Ieheoting.
like them, the beams of the one eternal
Sun, sole source of heat and light" Of
Religion again-"It rests not upon argu-
ments and institutions, but upon human
ity itself. 1t will abide, not because of
the clever ingenuity of 1ogioians, nor of
the we'll fortified erudition of scholars: it
will abide because man is man. He did
not make himself; God Emade him-made
him capable of love and hate, of sleeping,
and waking, of dreaming and doing; capa-
bic, also, of knowing and loving his
Maker.
"The great question is not how or
found Himf'
"The solidest conviction of the truth of
Immortality is not permitted to do duty
for the virtues of honesty, truthfulnes
and compassion in the character of the
religious man. That is to say, honesty.
truthfulness and compassion are counted

nodish little volume which has for SUBJ

The passion for regulating everything
by law, which has had remarkable de-
velopment during the last quarter OF
century, made its appearance in the city
council on Monday night, when petit
tion was presented signed by large
number of prominent citizens asking
that an ordinance BIZ passed forbidding
children under Is years of age to be on
the street after O'Clock in winter or 8
O'Clock in summer unless accompanied
by their parents or guardians. 1t was rep
resented by the petitioners that our
young people, need better protection.
We assume that the protection meant to
be given them is protection to their NOR
ais. and that being so, it is In order to
| ask why the age of fifteen was fixed upon.
Has the boy or the girl who has reached
| fifteen arrived at so mature an age that
he may be presumed to have his habits
so definitely fixed and his bent so def
| nitely determined that he may be trusted
to roam the streets after dark without
danger of contamination We have a
very strong suspicion that the boy or
J
age is in quite as much danger of falling
into vice from lettering about the streets
at night as the boy or girl under fif-
teen. The boy then is at about the
coming out period and how he
comes out depends very much upon
the influences that surround him
at that time. If the city is going
| to assume the responsibility of
bringing up sthe children and keeping
them in the straight and narrow path it
will not do to turn them loose when they
arrive at the age of fifteen. But our
opinion is that until the policemen catch
up with the existing laws for the i'm
provement of the public morals it is not
advisable TO impose upon them the duty
of seeing that the children are in the
house at p. N. Something must be
left to the parents.
