The Senate and It's Critics.

The debate in the Senate at Washington
on the currency question, precipitated by
the resolution of Senator TELLER, was one
of the ablest INT most thorough which has
ever occurred in the history of that body.
For a confirmation Of this opinion we refer
confidently to the full reports of the debate
in the Congressional Record.
The knowledge Of the financial question
displayed by the Senators far exceeded that
put forward SO pretentiously by the news
papers which talk most about the ode
cadence Of the Senate the New York
Evening Post, for instance. Even the sill
yer side was supported with ability.
Amy reader of that debate who really un.
derstands the subject under discussion will
discover that there is in Congress a far bet
ter understanding Of the currency question
than can be found in the newspapers most
abusive of Congress as a degenerate body.

The Teller Resolution smashed.

The House OF Representatives rejected the
Teller resolution yesterday by a vote Of 1872
to 132, only one Republican vote being cast
for II. and only two Democratic votes
against It. The Eastern Democrats went to
their own place, the silver eide. The one
erring Republican comes from North Caro-.
lima, where his Re~publicanism has been in.
fected by Populism.
The silver coalition in the Senate passed
the Teller resolution as a political chal-
lenge. The Republicans in the House have
answered that challenge promptly, fear
lessly, and almost unanimously. Without
delay or equivocation they have defended
the credit Of the United States and pledged
their party once more to honest money.
The Republicans say, in the words of Mr..
McKrSrEv, that nothing should ever
tempt us-nothing ever will--to scale down
the sacred debt of the nation through a
legal technicality. Whatever may be the
language Of the contract, the United States
will discharge all its obligations in the cur
rency recognized as the best throughout
the world at the time of payment. Nor
will we ever consent that the wages Of
labor or tie frugal savings shall be scaled
down by payment in dollars Of less value
than the dollars accepted as the best in
every enlightened nation of the earth"
The Republicans Of the House did a good
days work yesterday for the country.

From the st. Louis Globe. Democrat.
"Slater, Mo-, is q town that deals with the
liquor traffic in q very satisfactory way" said
o. r. Benson, q travelling salesman.
"Slator has high license as a regulation Of
the liquor business. There are three saloons in
the town, and each pays about $1,000 a year in
license, counting what is paid tho Government,
the State. and the town. The saloons are in a
row on what is called Wall street. When n man
gets drunk and enters ono of these saloons for
moro whiskey the proprietor will not sell him
any. A drunken man cannot get any liquor in
the town. Tho saloon keepers have agreed
among themselves that they will not sell liquor
to any man who is intoxicated. This is a wise
course for the saloon keepers to pursue, for IL
drunkenness increased in the town public senti-
ment might become aroused against the saloons
and they would DO abolished. AS a matter OF
fact, there is less drunkenness in Slater than in
any town Of its size / know Off.

The Fortihcations Bill.

The chief point to be noted in the FORTH
cations bill, which has been brought into
the House and placed on the calendar, ia
that it a~ppropriates less than half as much
as last years bill, mt less than one-third
of what the War Departments estimates
call for.
1t is a familiar experience that, when
retrenchments are resolved upon, the coast
defence expenditures are among the first
to suffer; but the cut has been severer than
had been generally expected, and severer,
We think, than the facts warrant. Last
year the appropriations for Notifications
were. IL we have the correct figures,
$9.517,141. and tho year before they were
$7.377, 1888. while the present bill pro-
vides but $4,144.912. The War Depart
ment had asked $13,37S,671 or more thar
three times what has been conceded.
The reductions OF the estimates nave been
effected mainly by heavy slAshings at item
after item In order. An exception was
made of submarine mines and their id.
%juncts, which got their full $3.50, 900,
and there is little or nothing to complain
OF. too. in the, routine, care, aud mainte.

We advised the friends of annexation to
watch PETT1GRKw Of South Dakota.
Here he Is with his little resolution:
Received. That 1t is contrary to the interest. poll.
cy. and tradition of the people Of the United States
to acquire any territory so situated As to require q
navy to protect IT,"
This is not important, except as showing
the animus of PETT1GREw. The PROPOSE
ton does not require discussion. Barring
perhaps far interior points like Sioux
Falls, South Dakota, where PETTIGREw
sleeps when he Is at home, there is no part
of the territory acquired by the United
States during the past century which does
not require a navy to protect it. The reso-
luton IL rubbish.
But PETTIGREw has travelled. He has
travelled as far as Honolulu.
President DOLE Is now in Washington.
Perhaps he could tell a story about Senator
PETTIGREw's visit to Hawaii. And per-
haps he won't tell it.
