SOUND AND FURY.

C ENATOR TELLER burst into the Senatorial
 debate on the silver resolutions on Tuesday D with such impassioned zeal that his fury car ried him in instance degree of rudeness that shocked even his sense of courtesy and brought the flow of his raging rhetoric to sudden stop In half apologetic way he said afterward he would have his offensive expression stricken from the record, whereupon Senator Hoar with the kindness of candid friend, advised him have the whole speech stricken out.
 The advice of the calm Senator from Massachusetts to his excited colleague from Colorado was judicious As aspirant for the Presidency and possible can ddate for that high office, MT. Teller should keep his head cool and beware of sudden heats. Red hot speeches do not make campaign documents at tractive to intelligent voters, and who cannot discuss cooly and reasonably grave matters of state are not the kind that chosen by the American people to preside over the affairs of the Union
 There is nothing in the occasion of the present silver debate to greatly excite any one except fan atic who rages simply because he recognizes the inn potence of his rage The silver Senators know very well the House will never adopt the resolutions they have submitted to the Senate and are now so ve- hemently discussing. They know, and they aware the country knows the resolutions were introduced simply to show the currency reformers that no re- form bill pass the Senate at this session. The
 
 make successful bluff it is by no means necessary to create volcano
 It is barely possible the rage of Senator Teller may have been due excited fear on his part that the bluff will not work The Senate may after all refuse to adopt his resolutions. There are not so many silver Republicans as there were year ago. The party Is getting into line for currency reform, and of the Senators whom the silver men confidently counted on when they boldly introduced their resolutions may be found on the other side when the vote is taken If this be so, understand the wrath of the Sen ator from Colorado. He will have seen himself about to be hoisted by his petard and under such cir cumstances excitement is natural
 As matter of fact the silver Senators are playing desperate game. There are several gold Democrats in the Senate who will vote with the Republicans against their resolutions. They can win only by ob- taining the votes of many so-caled silver Repubi- cans, and, have said these are not so numerous they were
 By the St Louis platform the Republican delegates in Congress pledged to the declaration "We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency or impair the credit of our Government Surely not many Republicans in Con- gress even though favorable to silver will violate that pledge simply to head off currency reform bill It is this aspect of the situation that gives interest to the debate Senator Telers sound and fury may after all signify something. It may that his bluff is about to shoot from under him like landslide
