WOULDN'T SILVER DO AS wELLp

The New York banker who, under tn

the financial work on the New York Sun
in a recent article says:
Not only, too, were the greenbacks an
unavoidable necessity, but in the juno
ture in which they were issued they be-
came an element of positive financial
strength. Adding, as they did, $3.50, 00o,-
900 to the circulating medium of the
country, they stimulated everywhere
enterprise and speculation and fur
nished means for paying not only our
soldiers and sailors, but the army OF
workmen who supplied us with the
munitions of war. The country became
one great beehive of military industry,
and the millions in the field and on the
sea were REINFORCED by other millions
in factories and workshops supplying
their wants. The depreciation of the
greenbacks below par in gold served to
increase their energizing power. Al,
sorts of commodities rose higher and
higher in price, so that nobody lost by
buying them, and everybody won. and.
illusory as were the profits thus OBJ
tanned. they were none the less efficient

had money to invest; railroads which

first from our own people and after
ward from Europeans, who, seeing our
apparent prosperity and tempted by the
interest which, being paid in gold on
a principal bought in paper, was enor-
nous, were eager to furnish us with all
the supplies with which we could not
furnish ourselves. For all this we were
indebted to the greenbacks.
If this is true, will the Sun, or som
other gold bug source Of information
explain why the free coinage of silve
as advocated by the Democratic plat

industries would flourish. The gol
standard people counted that this woul
not be so for the reason that the value Q
the silver coinage would depreciate.
The clipping from the Sun, who's
radiance is yellow as gold itself, assert
that the lower the greenbacks went i

business. We would like to see tn
statements, the one as to prosperit

THE VERDICT CAN NOT BE
 CHANGED.

It is unfortunate that Secretary of the Navy Long should have fallen into the same error as did Secretary Alger, by giving out for publication cores pondence which proper appreciation of bis official position and the interest of the service would disapprove. The letter writing habit in public official is lamentable weakness.
 The Schlsy-Sampson incident was closed, 90 far as public sentiment is concerned, and in reopening very dis agreeable controversy Secretary Long has only weakened Admiral Sampson s case. The partiality which the Secre- tsry shows for Sampson is inexcusable, yet, however deplorable, favoritisn does crop out from time to time in both the army and navy, to the serious de- trimeIt of the service. The Secretary should have recognized that the public has far more reliable data upon which to base sn opinion as to who is entitled to credit for the destruction of Cerve- ra's fleet than his biased opinion. Sampson's own reports of the engage meat prove that he had no hand in 1t whatever, and they prove also that, in not giving credit to Commodore Schley and the otter officers of the squadron who were ip the battle, Sampson is woefully lacking in that chivalrous spirit which is ever ready to recognize merit and applaud success in others.
 The victory of Schley at Santiago was only second to that of Dewey at Manila, as one of the greatest achieve msnts in the history of naval warfare, and the verdict of the American peo- pie can not be changed. Commodore Schley will ever figure as the hero of Santiago.

NEW RULES GOVERNING PAR
 DONS.

Governor Murphy has promulgated the following rules in relation to appk- cations for pardon
 Notice Of application for pardon should be published for at least two weeks in some newspaper in the county where the crime was committed, for which the applicant was convicted.
 "All applications for pardon should be accompanied by petition signed by at least twenty five reputable citi- zens of the locality where the crime was committed
 Where should accompany the appli. cation recommendation to clemency and the reasons therefor signed by two thirds of the grand jury which indicted, and two-thirds of the trial jury which convicted, the district attorney who prosecuted and the judge who sen teneed the prisoner.
 "If the required signatures of the judge, district attorney and Jury can. not be obtained because of death or the absence of any number of them from the territory, the facts in that regard should be stated.
 After an application for . pardon in due form and in accoadance with these requirements is received at the executive office, it will be forwarded to the superintendent of the territorial prison for report as to the prisoners s conduct while in confinement and for the recommendation of the superinten- dent.
 After the latter recommendation is received by the executive, the case will bs reviewed and considered by him, and such action will be taken as he may deem proper.
 "Thess rules do not apply to par dons for the restoration of citizenship at the expiration of a prisoners term when such pardon appears deserved. = Republican.
Arizona silver belt., 1898-08-18

We commend the stand taken by Governor Murphy on the question of pardoning conyiets, except so far AS the new rules apply 50 the restoration to citizenship of prisoners convicted of felonies. The psrdoning power has been badly abused by the last two ad- ministrations, and the SILVER BELT was the first newspaper to enter a protest, which influenced Gila county grand jury to adopt 8 report strongly con- demning the practice. Governor Mur- phy, apparently, is of the opinion that a convict guilty of heinous crime may be restored to citizenship without doing violence to the law and injustice to the honest and law abiding citizen, from which opinion we dissent. No convict should ever be clothed with the right of suffrage.
