City Councils Failure.


City Council made another attempt
to eject city officials, Monday, but
again failed. But the result is discred-
table only to the majority members, in
showing that they wers unable to agree
and thus fully carry out the RESPONSE
bility placed upon them by the voters
of the city. In extenuation Of five of
the seven members constituting the
ma iority, however, it can be said that
they were right in refusing to permit
the other two to absolutely dictate what
should be done. What the people think
of the other two, or what they may
think of themselves, lie matter of no
moment .....
Fortunately, however. the interests
Of the city will not suffer by the
failure. The present officers may con-
tinue to fill their places until a new
Council shall be vested with power to
elect their successors. In one case,
that of city auditor, the law distinctly
states that he shall serve until his
successor is duly elected. =" The others
will come under the general provision
that the failure of a municipality to
do certain acts required OF it does not
dissolve the corporation. These officers
will 90 right along performing thor
duties, and the functions of our Local
government will not he interfered with,

is comfort in the reflection that the

INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLIsM

Let no one be misled by Senator VOL
cotts rosy colored views concerning BIZ
metalllsm in Europe He has just re-
turned. TO be sure. from conversations
with leading economists and statesmen
in England. France and Germany, and
he knows their opinions, possibly their
desires, but he has nothing authorita-
tive from any source as to the pros
pect OF bimetallism being adopted. The
best answer he got was from German.
and that was that Germany would
accept bimetallism il England would.
Obviously, then. nothing can be done
until England is convinced tnat it will
be TO her interest TO adopt bimetal-
ism. Senator wolcott brings no as
surance Of such adoption. but simply
INDUCES his Imagination in more rain
bow chasing and declares that the pros
poets for bimetallism were never bet
ter.
1t is not difficult to understand the
motives OF Senator Wolcott. He Is a
silverite and represents a silver state.
and he hopes by means or much talk
about bimetallism TO keep the silver
question alive. II he gave out that
he saw no hope in the European hori-
Eon he would no longer interest that
large body Of sincere bimetallists who
propose to stand by the existing gold
standard until International bemetal-
ism is established, or until at least
an experiment looking TO that end has
been hosestly made. As soon as these
true bimetallists are convinced that
there is no hope Of securing the coop
Grafton of the British government they
will listen no longer TO TIE arguments
Of the silverites, for they believe first
Of all in honest money Senator VOL
eott understands this and therefore he
gives out these delphic utterances Of
hope. He is trying to keep their in
terest alive. thinking, perhaps. that he
flied bimetallism without the co-opera.
ton Of Great Britain.
II is because we have no confidence
in Senator Wolcotts rosy reports that
We are glad to see the announcement
that President Mckinley may appoln,
a special ambassador under the recent
act Of congress TO do officially what
Senator Woloott did unoficially. If this
is so report will be made upon which

that is what the great majority Of
