long before the campaign is through the
voters Of the country are going to be
ranged on ons side or the other accord
ing as they believe in sticking to the
present gold standard or experimenting
with the free co1nsge of silver. The

will continue probably until the great
bulk of the fres silver Republicans have

ME PROPOSED FIRE COMMISSION
portland Advertiser

When the text of the proposed fire com
mission ordinance was published several
weeks ago, this paper remarked that so
far as this tends to take the ere depart
ment out of ward politics and make for
continuity of policy it is to be commend
ed. The judicious choice of cnmmi ssion-
ers Is calculated to promote the public
good by the judicious selection of officers
and men, by more fixed tenure, and by
the establishments and prosecution of bet
ter methods of fire protection. Nothing
has occurred to change the opinion then
uttered. Convinced of the soundness of
the general theory and resolved to adyo-
cate whatever makes for better munich
pal government. we believe that the fire
service may be improved on the lines
indicated. The suggestion is made that
since general revision of the CITY char
ter has been undertaken 1T would be well
to let the proposed reform of the fire de-
partment wait until 1t con be incorporat-
ed in the new charter.
We are inclined to think the suggestion
good one. By the present charter all
powers relating to the department are
vested i'll the mayor and aldermen and
common council, and Officers ARE elected
by joint convention OF the council. The
proposed ordinance vests all supervision
and control of the department in COM
mission of three. who are also to choose
all engineers and officers and memb ers
OF this department. 1t would seem that
the change could not be made any way
without an authorizing act Of the legisla-
ture. in that case it would probably be
better to let the matter go over until
next winter when it can be presented to
the Legislature along with the other
changes deemed necessary to be made in
the old charter.

The city is already trying the expert
ment of operating one of It's principal de-
partments-namely the street department.
That experiment is sufficient toEdetermine
whether this method is superior to the
one it superseded, not only in the man
agement of the street department but the
FIRE department as we'll. To put every
department. of the city government under
the charge of commission in order to
determine whether the commission
system is feasible and desir able, and
whether it ought to be feature in the

AN HONEST MAN CAN HESITATE
philadelphia Press. }

William G. Whitney was right when
he said that the situation in the Demo-
cratic party resembled that in 1860 1t
does. In 1860 when il became perfectly
clear that the Democratic party was in
the hands Of the. pro-slavsry party and
the ready tool of DISTINGUISHES, honest
Democrats by the hundred thousand
passed over to the Repu blican party.
There was no other place for an honest,
patriotic man. The bolt began with men
of national position and it passed OH to
the rank and file in all the northern
states, every one OF which with the ex-
ception of New Jersey voted for Abram-
ham Lincoln.
The like is in progress now. There is
no place left for an honest Democrat who
believes III sound money but the Repub-
lican party. 1t stands today the only
party which proposes to enforce private
contracts and maintain public honor.
The Democratic party has gone over to
50-cent initiation, and when tho Chicago
convention is over. the line will be drawn
so sharply and clearly between honesty
and dishonesty that no man can hesitate
for a day.

GEORGIA's BUSINESS.
From the Albany Herald.

From the Albany Herald.
Because Mr. duBignOn has seen fit to
announce with flourish that if the
national democratic convention adopts a
platform demanding the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at Is to 1 he will
not further press his candidacy for the
senate, some of the goldbug organs are
calling on Mr.. Crisp to declare that he
will retire from the race in the event
that the national convention adopts a
platform favorable to the single gold
standard.
Of course this voluntary pledge on
Nh. duBignon's part is nothing but a
grandstand play, and the invitation or
challenge of the goldbug press of the
state to Mr.. Crisp to make a similar
pledge to be contingent upon the action
of the national convention is mere bun
combe. Mr. duBignon can we'll afford
to make the declaration that he will not
further press his candidacy for the SEN
ate in he event the national convention
declares for free coinage, for he well
knows that after that time he would be
utterly without anything to stand upon
the sentiment of Georgia being unques-
tionaby for free coinage.

very well, and would at least look like a
fair thing, if he and Mr.. Crisp we're
running for the senate all over the Unit
ed States. But they are running for the
senate in Georgia, and Georgia is the
state which is to be, in part, represented
by whichever enc of them or by whomso-
ever receives majority of the votes of
the representatives of the people of this
state in the general assembly. 1t is fol
Georgia to say, therefore, whether she
wants man who favors the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at Is to 1 or
an advocate of the single gold standard
to represent her in the senate. What
matters it, then, whether national con-
vention, whose action will be largely in
hlenced, if not absolutely controlled, by
New England States whose electoral
votes will be cast for the republican can
didate for president-what matters it
whether the national convention declares
for free coinage or the single gold stand
ard when ii comes to the people of Geor-
gLa making THEIR choice of a lnan to
represent them in the senate?
The action of the national convention
should not have, nor will it have, any
thing to do with Georgia's choice of a
senator. Tie selection of senators and
OF her representatives in congress is Geor-
gia's business alone, and the people of
the state are not likely to be dictated to
about it by outside influences.

HANDS orr, Mr.. TURNER.

Dispatches from Washington an
nOunce that Congressman Turner, who
has has been quite sick since his speech
in the house, will make some speeches
in the second and in his own district
during this month if his health will
permit.
There would be no danger of Mr..
Turner delivering this district into
the camps of the gold candidates, but
the people of the second a e capable of
attending to their own political affairs
and settling their own family disputes,
and outside interference is neither
need or desired.
While there is possibly some excuse
for the insinuation that the second dis
trict has been but a tail to the elev-
enth's kite in this congress, the voters
of the district did not expect it when
choosing a representative, and they
are going to make change at the first
opportunity.
The people of Mr.. Turner's old dis
trict have great respect for him, but
they have gotten into a way of doing
some thinking for themselves these
days, and attempted interference at
this juncture by him or other non-resi-
dents would do no good and might
prove unfortunate.
Hands off, Mr.. Turner.
