City Government of Washington. d. o.
Home-rule In local affairs is vital
principle in our government 1t is en-
trenched in our constitution, which
reserves to local authority every right
not specifically granted to the general
government Yet In matters entirely
local, in school affairs, in health meas
ures, Washington citizens have no
voice nor control over the expenditure
of single dollar OF their taxes In
other cities the power to correct official
abuses is in the hands of the people,
here. whatever the blunders commit
ted. it is hard to locate the guilty
ones. What is worse. though the
guilty be known, the people are pow
erless to rebuke them at the polls.
The spectacle, meanwhile. of a body

The Case Logically stated.

If we could have good roads it would
add more to the value of farm property
than all the other public improvements
put together ever have. 1t would reduce
the cost of getting our crops TO market
one-half, and in tffe saving of feed that
is now fed to idle horses it would
amount to sum that staggers the inn
agination. Every day that a team re-
mains idle it is something for which no
return will ever be received. If we
had good roads the teams could be used
on the farm when the ground was in
condition and the crops could be hanlcd
to market at such times as farm work
sould not be prosecuted.-FarmN News

RlpIcuLEs The THEORY.

Free Coinage OF SILVER II IN Absurd
Proposition.
THE proposition that . promise OF
the government to pay money is money
is just as absurd as the proposition that
a promise to deliver horse is horse,
and yet there are eminent men high in
the public councils who believe that the
United States promissory note is an
actual note and that the statute which
compels all the people to receive it as
actual moLcy Is constitutional and
ought to be continued in force. The
agitation for the free coinage of legal
tender silver at ratio which would
put only SO cents worth of bullion in
a silver dollar is predicated upon the
same vicious principle that underlies
the Legislation making paper promises
legal tender, but there is practical
difference between the two systems
which ought not to be overlooked in the
discussion. The United States note was
forced loan from the people to tho
government, which the government
promises to repay in dollars, but the
II &C SoiiaSC Va iSSdt tCuucT SfiNeT at
the ratio of sixteen to one, or at any
other ratio not corresponding with the
commercial value of the two metals,
would be forced loan from the people
to the owners of silver mines and sill
yer bullion without promise of repay
ment by anybody.
"One loan was forced for the benefit
of the government in a time of war, but
the proposition of the advocates of free
coinage is to force another loan for the
benefit of private individuals and cor
porations in time of profound peace
In principle the two measures are pre-
cisely alike, for they are both founded
upon the false theory that the govern
ment has the constitutional power and
the moral right to create money out of
any material it chooses, however worth
less. and compel the people to receive It
in payment for their labor and products
and in the discharge of .antecedent
debts contracted upon full considera-
ton and upon different standard, but
the free coinage of legal tender silver,
as now proposed. would be far more I'M
just in it's practical results than the
issue of legal tender United States
notes. Secretary Carlisle's Speech.

FILINGS AT FREE SILVER.

....Hon. Buck Hinrichsen- has al.
ready lived to wish his sister had not
made him such a rank silverite.-St
Paul Globe.
-. Only one tickst was sold for ex-
Congressman BANDS free silver lee
ture in Savannah, Ca, and the lecture
was therefore declared off-same as the
lecturer.-Chicago Tribune.
....It is true, as Senator Sherman
says, that there will be no silver legis-
lation as long as Cleveland is president
and it is equally true that there will not
be any after his republican predecessor
comes in. The silver question has
taken its place in the category of po-
litical eminiscences.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
49,. If Texas viii join hands with Ken
lucky, Georgia and Tennessee. and Ar
kansas with Louisiana. in one de-
teimined effort to end once for all
this craze for q debased currency. and
so end it, we can turn with open coun-
tenances and welcome incoming capital,
which will begin to flow steadily
towards us as soon as this important
Squestion is~settled and settled rightly.
--L0(tsville Post.
The director of the mint points
opt that the decentralization of silver
really took place in 1853, when the
weight of divisional coins was reduced
about seven per cent, not by accident
or oversight, but with the express dec
laration that the intention was to make
gold the sole standard of value in large
transactions, and restrict silver to sub
servient uses. Therefore. the ''great
crime" about which the free coiners
howl so much is to be blamed upon men
who are mostly in their graves.-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.
