Free silver and Protection.

The meeting of a few Philadelphia manu-
facturers and the free silver senators of
the republican party, which took place at
Washington on Thursday, is not signifi-
cant of anything. The manufacturers in
question have been leaning toward free
silver coinage for a long time They be-
lieve that if the country should so to a
silver basis there would be no advance in
wages, while there would be, in all proba-
bility, a very great advance in the pro-
ducts which they manufacture In other
words their aim is to cut the wages of
their workmen in half They propose TO
make more money by getting cheaper la
Dor That is the condition of affairs in
Mexico and other countries in which the
currency is silver.
There is another thing they hope to get,
and that is more protection Their scheme
is to link protection and free silver coinage
together. They would rob their wage
earners on the one hand and the people
on the other. Such a scheme Of wholesale
robbery will never be sanctioned by the
American people. There is no occasion for
worrying about the conferences of men
who are back of that scheme

From the chicago Times-Herald On

How can they be retired without SEN
sible. much less dangerous. contraction
of the currency? BY issuing bonds to
the required amounts to the banks, letting
them issue their notes to the par value of
these bonds on deposit in the treasury of
the United States and making these bank
notes the substitutes for the greenbacks.
These bonds should be for gold, paya-
bic at per cent. interest in gold, the
principal payable in gold when due.
Thus there would be no contraction OF
the currency at all; thus the profiigaJe
system of issuing bonds to buy gold to
pay out again on demand in exchange for
greenbacks would be ended, once for all;
and thus the treasury of the United States
would be taken out of the banking bust
ness. into which it ought not to have
ever been dragged.

MOrgan's PerversiOn of History.
From the Baltimore Sun Oem.).

Senator Morgan, in answer to the argu-
ment against any recognition of Cuban
belligerency at the present time, based
upon the nndeniable fact that they have
no established seat of government, no
ish things. that the same was true of
this country after the British forces HAD
burned Washington in 1914. Here. as
usual. the senator was simply betrayins
his ignorance. He doesn't know the diff
ference between capitol" with an O.,
and capital" with an a. The British,
ii is true were guilty Of the vandalism
of burning the unfinished capitol at Wash
ngton city, but even schoolboys will read
with amazement the senator's statement
that after the burning of the capitol the
United States had no capital or estaD-
lished seat of government. ~

The Policy shop Owners.

1t is evident that Judge Norwood in
tends that the policy business shall be
stopped in this city. He has fined heavily
the men who are responsible for the bust
ness, and. in consideration of little
leniency, has received what appears to
be satisfactory assurances from them that
they have abandoned the business for
ever 1t is clear that if they are con-
victed again in Judge Norwood's court
they Will go to the chain-gang for year
for each and every offense.
1t is certainly time that the policy bust
ness was stopped. 1t has been carried
on for years almost unintcrruptedly. How
many thousands of dollars the easily dup
ed negroes have squandered in it no one
can estimate approximately, but it is
certain that it has absorbed a very large
part of the wages of hundreds, and per-
haps thousands, of them. Now that the
business is to cease there will be more
money to make homes comfortable The
gambling places should share the fate
of the policy shops. determined and
persistent effort should be made to close
them. A few such fines as those imposed
upon the policy men, accompanied with
the assurances that the chain-gang is in
sight, will rid the city of them.

The republicans in the House ought to
feel mighty good and cheerful, now that
they have passed a resolution of 'censure
upon Ambassador Bayard for expressing
in England opinions that are held by a
majority of the voters of this country. The
passing of the resolution was mighty
small; just about the size of the men who
passed it.

An Iowa legislator, outraged by the fact
that physicians and medical students
sometimes buy dead bodies and cut them
all to pieces in the study of their pro-
fession, has introduced a bill providing
that the bodies of all doctors and medical
students shall, after death. be delivered
to medical colleges for dissection. Doc
tors and students probably would not
mind one bit the cutting of each other
up, or having their bodies given UP to
the purposes of scientific investigation af-
ter death. But the trouble is, doctors and
students hardly die fast enough to supply
the demand for subjects for dissection
in large cities where there are medical
colleges; and even the Iowa legislature
would probably hesitate to give the col
leges leave to make corpses from the ranks
of the profession as fast as they were
needed

Despite Gov. Bradley's statement that
he viii do no such thing, it is possible
that he will be compelled to call an ex-
ira session of the Kentucky legislature.
The legislature wasted it's time in the
senatorship fight, and neglected the APP
preparation bills and other important and
necessary matters Of legislation. As the
legislature will not meet again in regular
session until December, 1897 it is not
clear how the government can be run
without the passage Of appropriation bills
besare that time; and to pass the needed
bills it would be necessary to have an
extra session.

Getting a battleship into full-moon dry
dock is only half of the job 1t requires
as much water to get a ship out of a
dock as into it. If the ship is compelled
to wait two or three weeks or a month
to get in, the chances are that she would
have to wait two or three weeks or a
month more to get out. The difficulty
about the governments dry docks is that
they are entirely too dry.

One thousand bales of cotton are being
loaded on board the steamer Victoria at
Tacoma. Wash. This cotton was shipped
overland from Texas, by the roundabout
way of St. Paul. and is destined for Japan.
The incident will afford the Nicaragua
canal boomers another argument. Japan
is taking more and more American cot
ton. If the canal were constructed, co.,
ton could be sent direct in ships from
the Atlantic ports.

Stewart of Nevada. He made speech in

that there should be any disturbance any

that the man will be Tillman, who he
