WAYS OF CONGRESS.

When a competent pilot sees white
water" ahead of his vessel he does not
need to be told that there is danger to his
chip and all its belongings in that manifes-
tation Of lnwonted working Of the deep sea.
It is Just the same n the sea OF politics;
only, people, nowadays. are so accustomed
to the continual. turmoil, that they do not
pay attention to the very things that most
Intimately affect their interests. That Is
the secret Of how SO many measures for
the plumber Of the public treasury are
passed, without question, through Con-
gress, and are not recognized in their true
character until the mischief is done. Last
week, under special order adopted in Con-
Tgress over a hundred so-calied Pension
Bills were rushed through in one day, in
about an hour, without the smallest pre-
tense Of proper consideration. Some Of
these may have been meritorious cases; but
it is safe to say the majority were Of the
grab" order that was used to empty the
national treasury in the latter part OF Gen.
Grants regime. As the administration has
no veto power in these cases, the money
goes iii the general outlay, and 1t seems as
II the members Of congress do not take
enough interest in the matter to try to
stop even the big leaks.

THE BQERS..s

q The sturdy Beers are not Id the least
abashed by all the loud talk and buster q
the inspired organs Of the British Tory
ministers. Last week, Pres dent Kruger
cabled to Mr.. Chan1berlain the British
colonial secretary, saying that the SEN
fences Of the members of the Johannes
burg reform committee will be neither can
celled nor COMMITTED until Mr.. Cecil Rhodes
leaves Africa. The true source and inspi-
ration Of all the trouble in the Transyaal
Is recognized. The Beers do not intend to
allow London backed free-booters to over
run Their territory again. England must
keep her hands off, or else the consequences
Of open piracy will be melted out to all
caught in the raids on the possessions OF the
South African Republic. President Kru-
ger has declared his unbounded astonish-
ment at the British governments defence
Of Cecil Rhodes and the British South Az
RIGA Company. He says those who engi-
neered the recent plot against the Trans
vaal must be punished; and there will be
no rest in South Africa until this IS done.

McklOLEY,s ATTITUDE.

The New York World commenting
upon McKinley's attitude upon the silver
question says:
The money question is the supreme Is.
sue of present politics. On it chiefly the
people will vote at the next election. Or
it alone are they radically divided.
What does Mckinley think on thai
question? Where does he stand? What
will his election mean? Is he or is he
not in favor Of the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at 16 to 1? Would he
or would he not as president approve q
bill to that effect?
His friends protest that he liz sound
money man. But what does he himself
say?
AS a member Of congress he has twice
voted for the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver 16 to l.
The platform he wrote for the Ohio
Republicans this year was carefully
framed to mean anything or nothing
according to It's Interpretation. The free
silver men interpret it to mean free
silver, and he refuses In any possible
way to contradict that Interpretation.
I When the World asked him few days
ago the categorical question whether OF
not he favored free silver at 16 to / he
sent his compliments to the World with
the message that che had nothing to
say"
In brief, the certain candidate Of the
Republican party for the presidency alb
solutely declines to say whether he. ie
for free silver or not, when that Is the
supreme issue Of the canvass. He wants
the votes Of the free-silver men and he
wants the votes of the sound-money
men. He hopes to secure both by the
simple device of refusing to say whether
he is for free silver or sound money.
