SENATOR CHANDLER, of New Hamp-
shire, has contributed an article to the
London National ReuieaU on the silver
question which is creating quite stir
in political circles in this country.
Among other things he says, sThe
question is not one Of four years, nor
yet of a decade. It may take as, long
to remonetize as it has taken to realize
the paralyzing influence Of demonetiza-
tlon. But the fact that six out oflthir-
teen millions of American voters have
given their ballots for the wild project
of Immediate free silver coinage by the
United States alone, shows that the
question is one which must be compro-
missed and adjusted in some way. The
advocates. of the gold mono-metallism
are crying out that the silver question
is dead. They hope, but do not really
believe that this is true. Never was it
more important for bimetall1sts to ex-
ert themselves. Mr.. Mckinley is
pledged by his own words to co-opera-

ACCORDING to statistics which the
Minneapolis Times has collected
through it's correspondents there have
been 1853, 764 declarations Of intention
filed in this State while only 20, 977
voters have completed their citizen
ship. From this it would appear that
nearly one-half OF the voters voted to
disfranchise themselves at the recent
election. This emphasizes the remark
the UNION made two weeks ago that
in order to amend the constitution it
was only necessary to print the amend
ment on the ballot-the voters do the
rest without a thought Of the result.
This years election will open the eyes
of many and hereafter when they do
not understand a question they will
register a negative vote. But this
amendment will not injure the State
any, while some Of the others carried
by the same votes are of extremely
questionable character.

Of the methods pursued by the disci-

remarks: ''There is abundant reason
to believe that the election in Tennes-
see was carried for the free silver
ticket by methods that would have
done credit to Mississippi and LouSisi-
ana in the palmy days of reconstruc-
tion and the Kuklux. The frauds were
so bold and outrageous that not even
the free silver organs pretend to offer
a defense of the political desperadoes.
The frauds were so enormous and SO
brazenly committed that they fairly
constitute a national disgrace. In one
congressional district the Republican
ticket was defrauded of 7,lOO3 votes.
Prominent citizens of the State, ire
spective of party lines, do not hesitate
to declare that not less than 1900
stolen votes are distinctly traceable.

Tennessee as one of the most enlight-
ened and progressive of the southern

The Republican party, therefore, has
its course sirnplifed without any con
lectures or surmise. What it has at
tanned it must keep and preserve
through its own inherent principles,
activity and organization. 1t is no
time now for any laxity of organization
or any Indifference to the plan and
purposes Of the adversary. One of the
most powerful means Of the party has
been its effective club organization.
The armies of half-civilJzed peoples

men go home to enjoy it, but not SO
with those more thoroughly organized
and civilized. The Republican party
iof Minnesota, in view of the notice
just served upon it by the Jeffersonian
Democracy, if it wishes to follow up it's
success of the past, must proceed to
more thoroughly organize from this
out. There is a splendid club organi-
zation in the State, but there is plenty
OF room for further extension, and this
should be done at every point to guard
and protect every principle that was
fought for in the last campaign with
such splendid results.-St. Paul Dis

elective franchise and provides that
foreigners must become citizens of the

retire busted and sour. Their busi-

PIONEER Press: The permanence

PIONEER PRESS: The permanence Of
Of Republican rule in Minnesota has
happily left us practically unacquaint-
ed with the spectacle which has lately
become familiar in other States, of the
officers and teachers of State schools,
asylums and reformatories being
turned out of their places with every
change of politics, to make room for
partisans of the appointing power.
These positions are wholly non-politi-
cal. They carry with them no weight
or influence, aside from the personal
character of the incumbents, upon the
rise or fall of parties. They usually
require special scientific training and
long, practical experience in such
specially. The perintend dents of3in-
stitutions for the blind, for the deaf
and for the insane, with their corps Of
teachers and assistants, especially,
should be held immune from peril on
account of political changes 50 long as
they prove efficient and capable. In
the plenitnde of their, victories this
fall, Republicans everywhere can we'll
afford to set an example of magnanim-
ity, and OF real regard for the interests
of the unfortunates in such institu tions
as the above, by refusing to remove Of
icient officers aga1nst whom no effect

different political views from those Of
