They Arc RennhIicnns.

The senators which the new state of
Utah has elected are republicans. One is
a Gentle and the other Mormon. But
while they are republicans they will make
trouble for the republican party. They are
sllverites, and will do what they can to
prevent legislation that would relieve the
treasury of its difficulties.
1t is an unfortunate condition of affairs
that Utah has as much power in the Unit
ed States Senate as the great state of New
York. although she hasn't as large a pop
ulation as one of several of the congress
sional districts of that state. Utah has a
population of less than 10000, and a COM
paratively small amount of wealth. Ow-
ing to the fact that the greater part of her
territory is composed of desert, wild plains
and mountains, she will never have large
population.
The republican party kept her out of the
union for more than thirty years because
She refused to abandon polygamy. She got
into the union finally by the consent of
the republican party. That party consent
ed when it found it could get two addi-
tional senators from that source. and it
has needed senators greatly lately. That
party pretended it was annoyed greatly
by Utah before she was admitted, and it
will be annoyed by her now that she is in
because her two senator's are going to help
keep the national finances in an unsettled
condition. The republican party is res
ponsible for the legislation that produced
the evils from which the treasury suffers,
and it looks as if it were putting itself into
a position to be held responsible for a
continuation of those evils.

Mr. Bayard,. Explanation.

Ambassador Bayard's simple but digni-
fed explanation OF the two speeches de-
livered BY him in England, and for which
the House was asked by Representative
Barrett. Of Massachusetts. 10 impeach
him. ought 10 be satisfactory, and doubt
less will be to all except a few extreme re-
publican partisaHs. In one speech, Il will
be remembered. Mr.. Bayard attacked the
doctrine OF protection. and in the other he
spoke Of the American people as strong.
self-conhdent and often violent. requiring
a man OF great force Of character to gov
ern them.
It was what Mr.. Bayard said about the
doctrine OF protection. however. that an
gered the republicans and led 10 the intro
duction Of the impeachment resolution.
They did not care particularly what lie
said about the American people.
1t is probable that no further effort will
be made 10 censure the ambassador for
these speeches. lie explains that the
speech in reference to protection was de-
livered before a literary and scientific so
ciety. The doctrine Of protection was not
discussed from political standpoint, but
purely as an economic question that de-
served the attention of scholars, students
and thinking men generally.
The other speech. the one in which the
ambassador characterized the American
people as often violent. was an after-din-
ner speech. and was intended to be more
humorous than serious.
It is quite clear that Ambassador Bay
ard did nothing radically wrong-nothing
more than other American ministers to
England have done. There would not have
been anything said about the speeches.
in fact. they would hardly have been CIV
en- a second thought in this country. If
there had not been such an overwhelming
desire on the part of two or three mem
bers of congress TO gain little cheap no
toriety and of a good many republican po-
liticians who wanted to bring the admin
istration into disreDute by attacking an
ambassador appointed by Mr.. Cleveland.
Whether the resolution introduced by
Mr. Barrett impeaching MIR. Bayard will
ever get back to the House is a question
that cannot now be answered, but the
probabilities are that little or nothing
more will be heard of it. The republicans
having made all the political capital out
of it they think they can. will likely let it
rest where IT is.

Z be permitted 10 dodge the silver issue.
/ There is a clearly indicated purpose on
/ the part OF those favOring the free coin
[ age OF silver as well as Of those who
Z insist upon sound money TO require can
didates for the presidential nomination OF
either party TO state whether or not they

It is noticeable that those who are
known 10 be candidates are keeping very
quiet on the silver question. They cannot
be induced to give a straightforward an
swer to that question. OF the republic
can candidates not one has said that he
is against silver and for sound money.
on the democratic side only two have
expressed themselves so clearly that there
is no mlstaking their meaning. They are
Grover Cleveland and William c. Whit
ney and IL IS by no means certain that
either Of them is a candidate. Indeed
it is pretty well understood that Mr.
Cleveland is not a candidate. while Mr.
Whitney IS on record as saying that he
does not seek the presidential nomina-
ton.
or the republicans. who is there who
can say what the position OF Gen. Harri-
son. Mai. Mckinley. Mr.. Reed or Senator
Davis is on the silver question? All Of
them are understood to favor keeping sill
yer on parity with gold but that does
not mean that they are in favor Of legis-
lation that would practically take the
| silver question out Of politics and remove
all doubt Of the purpose OF the govern
ment to maintain the currency on a gold
basis
The other day Senator Chandler, who
| favors the nomination of Mr.. Reed. I'M
dertook to define Mr. Reeds position in
respect to silver. He said Mr.. Reed is
in favor of republican bimctallism" He
undertook to define republican bimetal-
| lism, but he did not succeed very well.
Briefly. he said that Mr.. Reed is opposed
to the unlimited coinage Of silver at the
present ratio. and he is also opposed to
the gold monometallism of Cleveland and
Carlisle. He hopes some way will be found
/ TO open the mints to both gold and silver
at a ratio that would enable us to have
both gold and silver as standard money
If Mr.. Reed doesn't take a firmer stand
for sound money than is indicated in the
foregoing he might as well announce that
he will not permit his name to go before
the national republican convention. His
position. as explained by Senator Chan
dler, would not satisfy either those who
favor sound money or those who are
afflicted with the silver craze. In fact
If the next President should be elected
on a platform containing a financial plank
such as that which Mr.. Reed is alleged
TO favor. we should have a continuance
of the unsatisfactory financial conditions
which now exist.
The people purpose to have the money
question settled, and they are not going tC
be juggled out of their purpose by poll
ticians who think that party success liei
in the direction of lodging or straddlinl
a troublesome issue.

The woman Publisher.

A very funny episode at Smith College
last spring, says the Washington Path
finder, when the new senior girls took
charge of the college monthly magazine
was occasioned by the peculiar idea the
business editor had of typesetting. One
day this enterprising young woman went
into Northampton to instruct the printer
as to what she wished him to do. You can
las we are in a great hurry for the mag
azine," Yes, miss said the printer,
mean the articles we're going to publish %
Yes, miss" rejoined the printer. oh
said the business editor, the articles
aren't ali written yet. I'll let you have
them just as soon as they are, of course;
but in the meantime, you can go on set
ting up your type, can't you? / thought
you could get that much done ahead" 1t
was some time before the printer could
persuade the business editor that be-
fore setting up the type" the copy must
not only be written, but handed over to
him.

All right. my DEAR said Johnson, III

So that afternoon Johnson's wife sent
the children over to visit on the other side
of town and stuffed rags in all the cracks
to deaden sound. After a fervent prayer
that all the neighbors would be out of
town for few hours that afternoon, she
was ready for Johnson.
lie arrived promptly.
The stove is out in the woodshed"
said his wife.
The stove was not very large, and after
Johnson had dressed himself for the occa-
sion with the help of Mrs. Johnson, who
had taken care TO have his old clothes and
gloves handy, he got the stove to the back
porch without much difficulty.
1t must be blackened' said Mrs. John
son, as she mixed the backing. 1t black
ened to a beautiful finish with very little
rubbing. and Johnson whistled at his
work
Then he tackled down the oil cloth mat
ana the zinc ana kept on WnlSlllnS.
He took the stove in carefully and put
il in the right place.
There was plenty of the old stove pipe,
and while he cleaned il in the alley with
a stick Mrs. Johnson sat on the back
porch and listened to him whistle.
The first joint went on all right and the
damper stayed in place. The next joint
fitted so well that johnson almost stopped
whisting in sheer admiration for it, and
so did the next one. The elbow fitted adj
mirably and the collar and last joint went
on like a top. The seam was on the right
side all the way up.
There was not even a speck of SCOT on the
papers Mrs. Johnson had spread on the
carpet.
In ten minutes more Johnson had love
ly fire in the stove and was in his business
suit again spick and span reading the pa
per while his wife got supper.
1t was just here that there was a saw
age nudge in Johnsons left ribs and he
heard his wife tell him to wake up and
hustle out now for it had been daylight
for half an hour.

Time for the People to Act.
From the New York Herald Qnd).

1t is high time for business men all over
the country to rise up and demand of
congress. as the president of the New
York Board of Trade recently suggested
that it take some Immediate action to
protect the credit of the government and
TO inspire foreign nations with confidence
in our professions of a sound-money pol
icy. Is there no statesman in either house
of congress to take the initiative and at
least propose some real currency-reform
measure? The people are taking notes
of the inaction of the present congress
upon the most vital matter of the public
interest and safety. and in due time they
will have something to say about it. Pub
lie opinion should, however, be meantime
aroused and make itself heard in earnest
demands for some Immediate legislation
looking to the remedy of the nations cur
rency disorders.
