Public Opinion.

service order the President could make
would be to lOp off the salaries OF the
Civil Service Commissioners
Boston Traveller: The coal barOns Of
Pennsylvania have done more to degrade
mankind and jeopardize the institutions
Of this country than all the anarchists
combined
Hartford Times: We may as well
make up our minds to accept the fact
that the coarse and cheap cotton cloth
OF the country will for the most part be
made in the former slave States.
Kansas City Times: The British gov
ernment gave out not long ago that 1t
intended to give Ireland Prince. Ire
land would appreciate full supply Of
potatoes more than Prince at this time.
Cincinnati Enquirer: All statements
that the gold standard ever existed in
this country prior to 1873, or that 1t has
80 existed since February, 1878, are alb
soIutely false and without any fOunda-
ton whatever under the law.
Denver Times: FOrgetful Of the fact
that silver Is still part Of the money OF
the country, the gold maniacs lose no
opportunity Of sneering at the white
metal. They are as consistent as the
Individual who SCOTS at his wife's virtue.
Richmond State: The great question
as to whether the great debt Of the
United States is payable In gold or silver
has not yet been finally settled, and pros
Derity would not be returning II those
who hold these obligations were de-
manding gold
Chicago Record: A little reflection
should convince the members Of the So
cial Democracy and other interested Or
ganizations that their talk Of violence
ln revenge of the shooting horror in
Pennsylvania not only does them no
good, but is likely to do them harm.
Savannah News: It will probably not
be q great while before the world Will
wake up one fine morning to a realiza-
tion that the long-discussed defenseless
condition Of the American coast has
ceased to exist and that we are ready
to defend ourselves against all comers.
Minneapolis Tribune: The corporation
OF Brown University may have erred in
trying to draw the lines too tight upon
President Andrews, but their offense was
trivial compared with that Of the Kan
sas Board OF Regents, which meets with
no rebuke from the majority Of the crit
les Of Brown.
Chief Justice Doster: To begin with,
let me say that every great principle
will work out it's own details Of appli-
cation. II 1t be right 1t will possess
within itself enough expansive and pro-
pulsive force to cover the field belonging
To 1t. 1t don't have to be brought about;
1t will bring itself about.
Baltimore American: The lower silver
gets, the more ardently the Virginia
Democrats yearn to see 1t coined into
standard dollars at the ratio of l6 to /.
They wouldn't care IL silver wasn't
worth cent. The first thing Virginia
Democrats know, somebody will accuse
them of wishing to repudiate their debts
with eyes wide open to the fact.
Rochester Union and Advertiser: OF
course rigid inquiry will at once be
made by the authorities Of Pennsylvania,
and until 1t Is completed and It's findings
officially promulgated, judgment should
be suspended. It is apparent, however,
that Sheriff Martin and his posse are
fearfully upon the defensive and have
much to explain and answer for
Evansville Courier: The fact is, the
farmers are receiving good prices for
their products, and there Is also nat
ural reaction from the stagnation OF a
campaign year. On this shaky basis
wildcat stocks have been doomed above
their normal values. The reaction must
