As to Silver Secession.
From the Baltimore Sun Dem)


The people of the United States went
to war in 1861 to preserve the integrity
of the union, but it seems now that Sc
cession would be an easy price to paw
for separation from that class of citizens
who want to bring us to a silver basis
If they long to be reduced to the condi-
ton of the South American republics,
perhaps they should have the oppor-
tunity to bring about their own degra-
dalton. unless, indeed it is our duty to
prevent our weak brethren from commit
ting suicide in a business way, just as the
law Restraints persons of unsound mind
from killing themselves by OBTAINING them
in asylums. But if the people had to
make their choice between the free coin
age of silver and separation, we think
they would be inclined to let the silver
ties establish their Trans-Missssippi re-
public and confine within its boundaries
the Belfords, Tillmans, Stewards, PETERS
simpsons and other monstrosities who
nave done more to depreciate the value
OF property in the past few years than
an ordinary war.

bonds THAT Sell.

The governor seems to think that there
will be no difficulty in placing on very
favorable terms the $4,000 coin bonds of
the state for which he has asked bids.
From interviews with him in the Atlanta
papers since his return from Boston and
New York, the inference is that capital
lists in those cities look upon the bonds
with favor.
We sincerely hope that the bids will
sustain the impression which the gov
ernor received at the north. Georgia's
credit is very high. The only thing in
the way of floating the bonds on even
more favorable terms than those pro-
vided in the law authorizing their issue
is the apprehension that the country may
go to a silver basis. and they would be
paid in a degraded currency.
There is a bare probability, of course,
that the desire for the bonds is not quite
so great as the governor seems TO think
it is. 1t is worthy of notice that Rome,
Ca, tried to float $l69,OOO of currency per
cent bonds and failed. Her city council
noticed the cause of the failure and
promptly removed it. by making the bonds
payable in gold. There was no difficulty
then in placing the bonds, although the
interest had been reduced to 41sper cent
OF course those who have money to
lend are not anxious to lend it on a gold
basis while there is a chance that they
might be paid in money that is on a sii-
yer basis. In other words, they hesitate
to loan sold worth 100 cents on the dollar
with the chance of being paid in silver
worth only 81 cents on the dollar. From
what the governor says the state Will be
more fortunate than Rome was. Still,
the governor may be mistaken.

MANITOBA.

That Manitoba folk are not disposed to
take any step backward IN their position
on the public School ouestio is evidenced
by the result OF the general elections yes
terday. Premier GREEswAY'sg government
wss returned with greater strength than
before and the sole issue was the question
OF upholding. the right OF the Province to
make its own educational laws and to
administer the same without any dictsr
tion or interference from the government
at ottsws.
1t viii be recalled that the issue was
made by the withdrawal OF public funds
from the support OF sectarian, speciii-
cally, as 1t happened, Roman Catholic
schools, and the claim OF the Roman
Catholics that under the agreement with
the federal government, backed by I'm
perial authority, they had claim upon
such funds. The issue was OF no great
importance, locally in Manitoba, because
the people in that province were
pretty we'll united on one side.
The Roman Catholics are only
a small minority OF the population. But
as Colonial issue that reached even to
the mother country the Manitoba ques-
tom has been from time TO time during
the past eighteen months OF lively inter
est, threatening the ministries aud max
ing politics hot. Reacting upon Mani.
toba, the little province has been aroused
to high pitch OF excitement in defense
of what were claimed to be its provincial
rights OF home rule, and the endorsement
given to the GREENwAY government
which .e;clally announced to the Ottawa
government, and 10 the mother country,
as well, I a. the province proposed 10 per-
NIT no interference i'm its educational
affairs, demonstrates that the question OF
coercion may convulse Canadian politics
in the near future.
