These are dark days for silver. Not
withstanding the big gold discoveries in
Klondike region the natural effect of
which would be to depress gold and con-
sequently boost silver, Notwithstanding
rumors that England is willing to do
something for the white metal. and that
our bimetallic commission now sojourning
in London is very sanguine, silver con-
tinues to go down, down, down. On
Thursday it touched the lowest mark yet,
and the chances are that it has not
reached bottom yet. The law of supply
and demand is evidently not responsible
for this continued fall, for the produc-
ton of silver is not increasing, and the
demand for it is not diminishing. The
most probable explanation is that silver
has commanded o higher price than 1t
otherwise would have done, because of
the chance that it might be restored as a
money metal on an equality with gold,
and that as this chance grows less the
fictitious value which silver acquired on
account of it is beginning to disappear.
The bullion value of the silver dollar to-
day is but 43 cents, and it is mighty
lucky for the holder of it that the govern
ment has pledged itself to keep it at a
parity with the gold dollar.

The coal strike has been on a good
many weeks now, and in it have been in
volyed thousands of men, many of them
ignorant and easily infamed to violence.
Yet there has been hardly case of trans
erosion of the law. The strikers, as a
rule have stopped work, and that is all.
Non-union men who have gone to work
in their places have generally been I'M
molested, and persuasion has been the
only means resorted to induce them to
quit work. Such of the labor agitators as
have been among them have almost entire
ly refrained from incendiary language,
and their influence as a rule has been on
the side of law and order. Perhaps be-
fore the strike is over violence may devel.
op, but it is only just to the strikers to
say that up to the present time they have
manifested a forbearanoe and self control
which are remarkable

The August McClure's is issued as a

Judging from the reception which Sen
ator McEnery met with on his return to
New Orleans, the protection idea is pref
ty popular in that locality McEnery, it
will be remembered, was the one Demo-
GRAFT who voted for the Dingley bill, and
instead of being criticized for it at home
he has been accorded an enthusiastic re-
ception intended as a compliment to the
stand he took. Unquestionably many
other Democratic representatives from
the South would have pleased their con-
stituents far better by following Meme
rvs example than by sticking to Demo-
cratic traditions.

The announcement that President Nc
Kinley will help Hanna in his campaign
from the end of a railroad train is not
well received. There is natural and
very proper feeling that such perform
ance on the part of the President will be
undignifed and distinct lowering of
his great office. Mckinley doubtless owes
much to Hanna; but the public would
much prefer that he would settle his in
debtedness to him in some other way
than by shouting his praises from the tail
end of railroad car
