This Real Question.

It may suit the purpose Of our neigh
Dor. the Bryan organ, to harp ION the
fact that the constitution of the United
States says "gpld and silver" and not
gold or silver" in providing that states
shall make nothing else tender IN pay
ment for debts, but that Is a matter
which has never been In dispute. No
body ever denied that such is the Ian
guage OF the constitution, and even I'M
der the gold standard silver As money.
and We are using more of IT and coming
1t more rapidly than We did before the
free coinage was abolished. when no
silver dollars were in circulation.
1t is, therefore, entirely unnecessary
for the Register to call anybody's atten-
lion to the fact that the constitution says
"gold and silver" and not gold or sill
ver," since this is not the issue, nor does
the harplns on well known fact
answer the question which the Intelli-
gencer addressed to the Register concern
ing Its hobby about the money OF the
constitution" That question was. where
in the constitution does the Register find
any mandate or authority for the coin
age of the metals at afalse and dishonest
ratio7s Where does the constitution
give the government the right to VIC
late the laws OF trade, and FIX by stat
ute law false value on silver? Where
is the authority in any Law. fundamental
or statute. for making sixteen to one
the ratio when the immutable laws OF
trade make Il thirtytwo TO one?
Certainly the fathers OF the republic
recognized both gold and silver as
money metals, but they were honest
men, and nothing in the constitution
warrants the belief that they ever In
tended that the ratio between the two
should not be governed by reason and
common sense, or that they held the alb
surd notion that value should be legis-
lated into anything. whether 1t be. gold.
silver, or the theories OF the quack imam
c!ers.

Mayor Van wyek. who led. but only
as n ngurehead, Tammany back into
control OF New York CITY Is trying
faithfully to carry on. The wishes Of bis
master. and the real head, Boss Gro.
ksr, and making a record for himself
many ways. Stories are told dally,of his
despotlc rule at the city hall. and his
conduct seems to Indicate that he has an
idea that he wasn't elected mayor, NJ all,
but to an absolute Dictatorship. Among
the more recent Incidents in which this
tendency cropped out. and in which he
demonstrated his exalted ideas Of the
best things for the public good, was the
cool Information he impaired to the head
OF the educational department that the
sehools are putting on, 100 many frtlls.9
This Tammany rulers idea Is that tho
dutyot the government otthe state ends
with teaching the youthful mind ''the
three Rs" and that readln' 'ritln'
and 'rithmetlc is education enough for
the young. This is also the Tammany
conception OF the educational test In
filling the offices. and the Tammany
bosses cannot understand why any
body should demand or expect more.
For instance, photography Is an art. a
luxury. in fact. which Tammany doesn't
see any virtue in. especially when ap-
piled to tho civil service.
A New York special in contempor-
airy cites some instances that go TO
prove that spelling doesn't cut any fg-
lure whatever with Tammany when 1t
comes to filling the responsible Offices.
Among them Is the case Of one appolntce
of the mayors eelected by the Croker
combination, in which the recipient OF
the Office. In recording his own appoint.
ment, spelled bridges" "brsses." and
Bronx" "Bronks." Another individual
appointed by abe mayor on Monday
registered himself US residing in the
.bourogh" of Queens, and that he was
"clcark" of the municipal" court.
These incidents. and others the New
York papers speak of. show the value
placed by Tammany on an educational
qualification for Office holders. Croker
himself isn't distinguished for that sort
OF ability. and he doesn't look for It in
an appointce made by the machine, so
long as ne can pay his assessment and
handle votes. For this reason a knowl-
edge of "the three RS" is deemed to be
amply sufficient.

The New York Evening Post, which
cannot be accused OF being particularly
friendly to President Mckinley. takes
the proper view of his New York speech,
and Its significance. in the following
comment:

accused OF inconsistency" says the Post.
.His past votes and sayings will be
= quoted against him. Just as those OF
Secretary Carlisle wer; but the battle

dividual consistency. but rather those
ofina.Ional expedlency and morality.
we: might dwell upon separate phrases
and paragraphs OF she Presidents
I speech. but that would be a task of su-
!pererogatlon. The main purpose. Is to
bring the supporters OF the gold stand
(, ard and OF the national honor upon n
common platform, TO arm them with a
common purpose, to drive all towards
( out Of their skulkins places, and to COM
: pei them to take one side or the other.
Z This is what the nation has stood most
in$need of for full quarter OF a cen
tury..57 - Is!
This is ali true. Despite what any one
Z body. may say in criticism OF the Presi-
dent, however he may be misrepresent-
cd, and whatever may be the abuse OF
him from the silver monometall!sts
and the Populistlc elemen. OF the coun-
try, there is no doubt, as to where he
stands, and thnt the power and influence
otihls administration will be for the in
tcgrlty OF our financial System and the
national credit. There can be but two
sides 10 question affecting these I'M
por;ant matters, and the President OF
the. Unaed States stands boldly FOR one
side, which is the rar, OF honor.
