Jack ROblns0n's Letter.

The promised letter which was her.
aided to make sensation in connection
with the senatorial campaign In this
state has appeared, but the sensation Is
invisible. The letter is from the pen
OF the irrepressible Jack" Robinson,
snd is simply suggestion to State
Chairman Quay that he Suggest to the
various chairmen of the Republican
county committees in the state the ad-
visibility of printing the names OF all
tnc candidates for the United States
sena te so far as known, upon a separate
part of the ticket to be voted at the
coming primaries, so that there may be
some Indication as 10 the views of the
electors regarding their choice for this

ed In order ito save the state commit
tie from any criticism whatsoever as to
pa"tiality or bias toward any of the
candidates." and the vote at the pri-
n,arics need not, In Representative Rob-
inson's opinion, be deemed mandatory
brt simply declaratory, or in other
words. an index to party preference.
There are several objections to this
proposition, one being that the pri-
maries in some counties have already
Leen held, and another being that the
party primaries upon such occasions
az the choice of state delegates are
ralely attended by a majority of the
party's electors. Yet even with these
disadvantages conceded, the PROPOSE
tion presents several recommendations
IL would at least give those electors
who want TO express direct prefer

torial canvass an opportunity to do So;
and any failure on the part of any
number of voters to improve this OPP
rCltunity could not in fairness be
charged up against the Republican
state OF ganiZatiOn. In such test or
Iarty sentiment, Lackawanna's candi-
date, ex-Lieutenant Governor Watres,
would doubtless obtain the favorable
vote OF this county and section, and In
addition would receive a flatterlng
complimentary vote throughout the
state. 1t is scarcely probable, though,
that any one candidacy would so far
prclCnderate as to close the field prior

The Era of the Yawper.

While there is no statutory law to
prevent Comptroller Of the Currency
Eckels from going around the country
traducing a currency system which.
until Democratic stupidity had looted
the treasury and all but sacrificed the
public revenues, gave better satisfac-
tion than any other currency system
known to civilization, there ought to be
some restraining principle Of official de-
cency and individual self respect to put
a check on his incendiary harrangues.
II a long-haired zealot were to get up
before a crowd Of boozy anarchists and
make such speeches as Eckels Is making
these days before well-clad bankers
and opulent board of trade men. he
would promptly be taken in tow by the
police for disturbing the public peace,
and would be lucky to escape short of
thirty days in Jail. And yet the harm
which the zealot could do in unsettling
public confidence would be infinitesimal
compared with the mischief which is
being disseminated by the president of
the United States. the secretary Of the
treasury and the comptroller Of the
treasury in their excited campaign
against the stability Of our public credit
and the good repute Of our financial
system.
We address these remarks particu-
larly to those who read the speech of
Senator John Sherman on the currency
question which we recently printed in
full. Readers of that unanswerable
address know where to place the re-
sponsibility for the financial ills which
have developed under the second dis
pensation of Grover Clevelandism in
the national government; and they
know, too. why 1t is that Messrs. Cleve-
land. Carlisle and Eckels are so anxious
to make a scapegoat Of the present
currency system by unloading upon it
the opprobrium which properly be-
longs on their own shoulders because
OF their active part in starving the
revenues and sacrificing the industries
Of the nation. That these fatuous
prophets of free trade and gold mono-
metallism are self-deceived may be pos
sible; but none the less is it an offense
against decency for them to use the
vast influence of their official positions
to calumn1ate a currency which. until
they got into office and began to destroy
theincome of the nation, answered every
need better than any other system
known to financiers.
This quixotic crusade of Mr.. Cleveland
and his official colleagues is the more
reprehensible in that 1t offers q direct
challenge for every other lantern jawed
Don Quixote Of finance to lift his lance
and charge upon the imaginary giants
which in his diseased Imagination men,
ace Miss Columbia's financial honor.
Thus instead Of peace and tranquility
in the business world. instead Of that
unruffied calm which is essential to the
orderly and profitable conduct Of COM
merce-which would make life worth
living under any currency system
we have instead useless and danger
Gus and utterly unwarranted lashing
and churning Of the waters, until timid
mariners on commercial seas are scared
and put back into port, determined to
walt until the storm blows over. There
