RcpubIicans ResponsIbIe.


The republicans cannot successfully
claim that they would not be responsible
81 congress should fail to pass any measure
for the relief OF the treasury. They have
a big majority ia the House and they
have control OF all the committees Of the
Senate While they have not a clear ma
Jority in the Senate. they have been able
20 get the control OF the committees. and
fhe control OF the committees carries with
IL responsibility for legislation
They got the committees and tho
patronage by making a deal with the
popuiists. The populists' share OF the deal
was a majority OF free silverites on the
finance committee. With that committee
in the hands Of those who are in favor
Of the free and unlimited coinage OF sill
yer they are in position to shape hnan-
cial legislation.
The republicans of the House have
passed a bond bill for the relief Of the
treasury'-not such a bill as is wanted,
but still such a one as enables them to
say the House has responded to the Presi-
dents demand for legislation to preserve
the integrity Of the currency. but a House
bin that has not been passed by the Senate
amounts to nothing.
The Senate win not pass the House BILL
1t will not pass any bond bill which does
not provide for the free and unlimited coin
age OF silver. The republicans. however,
say they cannot be blamed if the Senate re-
fuses 10 give the treasury any assistance
In view Of the fact that the republican
senators have been able to reorganize the
Senate and get control of the Senate com
mittees. the country will not accept that
plea of the republicans. They have put
themselves in the place of responsibility
and they must meet the obligations OF that
place. They and the populists are playing
a game of politics. They may not have
the same object in view. AS matter Of
fact, they have not. The republicans
want TO put the President "in a hole"
and the populists and other silverites want
to force gold to a premium. for the reason
that, in their opinion. with gold at pre-
MUM. the unlimited coinage OF silver
would be in sight
The President is not playing a game of
politics, although some of his political
enemies are trying to make it appear that
he is. He is earnestly striving to do the
best he can for the good of the country.
He would not bother with the gold re-
serve probably, if he did not believe that
failure to restore it would bring on a
fearful financial panic-a panic that would
unsettle nearly all values and cause the
people enormous losses. The financial dis
tress that would follow his refusal to re-
store the gold reserve is the only thing
that binders him from dumping the whole
financial matter upon congress and letting
that body take whatever course it pleases
in respect TO it.

The west isn't effete, after all. Lead
willie, in its palmiest days, could not have
put up anything more genuinely wild and
woolly than was the shooting affair in
the Union theater at VictSr, Col, the
other evening. Two bad men met in a
public hail. quarreled. pulled their guns
and punctured each other. Bad man Pas
co got the drop on bad man Smith and put
a bullet through him quicker than wink.
but as Smith went down he drew bead
upon his slayer and snuffed out his life
with as much neatness and dispatch as
Wild Bill himself could have done the lob
in his coolest moments. In the Jolly
scramble that followed the initial shoot
ing. there was a general pulling OF guns
and firing. The old and truly western
love for shooting at the lights seems to
have been strong upon the assembly, and
when the smoke had blown off il was
found that every gas jet had been shot
away. There are a few more railroads in
the west than there were twenty-five years
ago. but the spirit of the mining camps
does not seem to have been very greatly
improved in that time.

The Inland Route.

Capt. o. NJ. Carriers annual report upon
the improvement of rivers and harbors
in Eastern Georgia, which has just been
printed, contains his recommendations
and other data with regard to the pro-
posed inside steamboat channel, having
seven feet depth at mean low water, be-
tween this city and Beaufort, S. c. The
gist Of the report appeared in the Morn
ing News early last year. 1t showed that
two routes had been surveyed. namely,
one by way OF Rams Horn creek,
Wrights river and Mud river, coming
into the Savannah river about six miles
below the city, and the other by way Of
Rams Horn creek and Wrights river,
coming into the Savannah river Just east
of the red or oyster Bed light, about
twelve miles below the city
The first named route is the shorter, and
was strongly favored by the business men
and various commercial bodies of the city,
as well as the shipping interests. Capt.
Carter, however. opposed it, with very
good reasons. He showed that the re-
opening of Mud river would diminish the
ebb and flow in the Savannah river and
be injurious to the Improvement of the
harbor His recommendation was that
the Wrights river, or second mentioned.
route be opened. The expense would be
about $4,000 greater and the route would
be some five miles longer, but the
harbor improvement work would be
benefited, through the throwing of the
greater part of the volume of Wrights
river into the channel across Tybee knoll
and securing that channel deeper
There is no question of the necessity
for the reopening of the inland route.
rough weather by small boats, which
must necessarily carry the inland water
traffic between this city and Beaufort, is
extremely dangerous. These dangers
have had their effect upon the business
of the inside route. Statistics show that
the trade of this city with the sea islands
along the inside route, which can only be
carried on with light craft. is rapidly di-
minishing since the closing of wright's
river 1t was the general wish that the
old route should be reopened. but in view
of the excellent reasons given by Capt.
Carter why that route should remain
closed and another one opened, there can
be no further argument upon that point.
! Every effort, therefore. should be
made to have the work of opening the new
route pushed to completion just as soon
as possible. The city council, the board
4 of trade and the cotton exchange should
take action and let congress hear from
| them with regard to this matter. Some
congressman do not like to be bothered
with memorials. But it is common
| sense proposition that what is wanted
must be asked for. An appropriation to
carry out Capt. Carriers recommended
tons should be urged upon congress. 1t
| might be worth while to remind congress.
also, that this inside route would be in
valuable as an arm of the coast defense.
/ as well as a feeder for the city's business
and great convenience for thousands of
| people on the sea islands.

The New York World calls the Vene-
zuelans poor, deluded FOOLS" because
they are talking about engaging in a war
with Great Britain. Are they? The
World may be right. but there is chance
it isn't. 1t is true the Venezuelans have
neither an army nor a navy, but il
wouldn't take them long to put a good
sized army in the feld-an army that
would have a pretty good prospect of
coping successfully in the disputed terri
tory with any army that Great Britain
would consider advisable to send there
There would be no fighting on the sea, as
the World seems to think, though Vene-
zuela might fit out privateers to prey
upon English commerce. That kind of
warfare would hurt Great Britain more
than any other.
But, as a matter of fact, Venezuela
doesn't. in all probability expect to bring
on a war with Great Britain. AL she
wants is fair settlement of the boundary
dispute. That that is all she wants is
clearly shown by her frequent effort to
have the dispute submitted to arbitration
BY showing a disposition to maintain by
force what she believes to be her terri
torial rights she is much more likely to
have the matter referred to arbitration
than she would be if she made no hos
tile demonstrations. Great Britain doesn't
intend to have a war with Venezuela if
she can honorably avoid it, She will
make concessions before she will engage
in hostilities. The Venezuelans understand
this very well. Such being the case, we
do not see that they lose anything by
showing their willingness to fight for
what they believe to be their rights. On
the contrary, they are likely to gain much
If this point of view is the correct one,
they are not such ignorant and deluded
fools as the World tries to make them
out.

Chicago has shown her disposition to
obliterate the memory of the sectional
bitterness engendered by the war by erect
ing a noble monument to the confederate
dead as d tribute to the valor and brav-
cry of the southern soldiery Chicago
has buried all the animosities of that
grea struggle. What Chicago wants is
a closer commercial union with the south
and New York cannot prevent 1t.

continue to assert that the government
forces are beating the insurgents every

at every turn, with severe losses, it would
