THAT PEN REPORT.
1t is Said That the Long Looked-For
Report Has Been Completed.

Claudius Dockery, chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Penitentiary,
landed under the shed at the Union de-
pot yesterday at 11:30 o'clock. He
alighted from the Seaboard Air Line
train and fell into the open arms of
John Il. Smith. who was there to well
come him to the city. Mewborne was
hard by, and in few minutes the high
ference.
For weeks work has been going on
in the get-up of that report which is
now overdue nearly eight months and
it is supposed that the chairman came
down to hear the report read and to give
it his sanction before it saw the light.
1t was rumored last night that the re-
port was completed, and it was said
that it ticked the chairman of the board
so much that he Immediately declared
himself candidate for speaker Of the
next House of Representatives. The
report, it is claimed, is Jim-snOrter.
and whitewashes everything and every
body from Mewborne and Smith to
Chaplain Babb and the escaped con
vets. 1t was said by a Republican last
night that the report would show that
John Il. Smith was the ablest and hon
estest superintendent the penitenriary
ever had and give the lie to all his de
famers. not excepting Governor Russell
himself.
The report is said to be in the hands
of the Governor and n copy. so one Re

that these officials are like the little boy

SILVER AND THE OHIO FIGHT.

The Ohio senatorial fight grows more
interesting the faster and more furious
it grows, and it is growing fast and
furious at terrible rate Aside from
the fact that what is known as Han
naism is to be tested, the fight has a
great interest for all who desire the
welfare Of silver.
A Herald Washington special says
that it is openly stated there by lead
ing Ohio Democrats that Bushnell. if
elected, will vote for silver, though
otherwise acting with the Republicans.
Whether or not he has made this
pledge, whoever may be elected over
Hanna will probably be elected with
that understanding. This is exactly
what the Republican party fears. This
fear is well expressed by the New York
Commercial Advertiser, which says that
the Ohio Democracy is fully committed
to free silver, and that any Republican
who consents to accept the support of
its representatives for United States
senator will place himself under obIi-
cations which will debar him from all
right to the title of Republican. It
probably states the case as it is when
it says that Republicans outside of
Ohio care little about Senator Hanna
and that they are interested
in the senatorial fight only to the ex-

MAYOR cLARK's APPOINTMENTS

Mayor Clark has sent in his first
batch of appointments. Through
strange coincidence or otherwise, the
adherents of the non-partisan cause,
working very hard for Mr.. Clark
election. Did not the public know that
Mr.. Clark was elected on platform
that was built on patriotic principles
alone, and that politics in the everyday,
human sense OF the word had nothing
to do with the framing of it, the people
who have Tot advanced to that high
plane of patriotism and altruism where
ncn-partisanship reigns supreme, that
sort of floating island of which CULVER
writes so interestingly and Instruct
lively; the people who dwell in darkness
and who refused to have the pure light
when It was offered them, they would
say that Mayor Clark is rewarding his
workers in the genuine partisan spirit.
All of the appointees are reputable cit
liens, but really they cannot be called
a galaxy Of stars of the first magni-
tude; and the non-Dartisan committee
promised the people that none but such
stars should he chosen to serve the
people. In this respect the people are
doomed to disappointment.
The appointments were all referred to
appropriate committees. It is hardly
likely they will all be favorably acted
upon. One thing is perfectly plain:
Mayor Clark intends to stand by those
who stood by him in the campaign. Let
the Democrats in the council do the
same thing.

SENATOR TELLER ON CHINA'S
DISMEMBERMENT.

Senator Teller's interview on the
duty of the United States in the
Chinese crisis is a remarkable one. He
would have this government give no
tice to the powers supposed to be en-
gagged in a scheme for the dfsmember-
ment of China, that it will not be per-
mitted. It is true he says we should
ask Great Britain to join us in giving
such notice, but that if that country
declined to join US, to give the notice
anyway. If English interests were
such as called for English acquiescence
in any scheme of dismemberment,
Great Britain would not hesitate a sin
gle moment to join Russia, Germany
and France for the purpose of dividing
up China. Against such a coalition
how effective would the notice of this
government be? 1t wouldn't be needed;
that is all. There is no need of deceiv-
ing ourselves as to our strength and
greatness. They are truly great, but
they are not great enough to cope with
the combined navies of the four leading
powers of Europe, when the combat
would have to be waged some six thou
sand miles away from our shores.
How long since is it that our very
existence as a nation" became involved
in the preservation of the existence of
the Chinese empire? Will it not be
news to the American people to be told
that if this government permits the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of China, they will
henceforth have nothing more than
mere existence?'
Senator Teller says that eff this dis
memberment occurs, the people of
what is now China will become the pro-
ducers for the whole world. A Compel
tive production and trade will be in
troduced against which other people
cannot contend. The economic condi-
lions of the world will be changed
The rest of the world doesn't seem to
be very much worried over the pros
pect. We don't believe that the min
ing. agricultural or manufacturing in
dustries of Colorado or Utah or any
other state in the Union would stop
for one day or be injured in any par
ticular if China were dismembered.
1t seems disappointing to see a man
who is usually so level-headed and
conservative as Senator Teller, get so
ratified as he has in this instance
He advocates a policy the very oppo
site of all American traditions, one
that, if adopted, would mean endless
trouble and sorrow for the United
States Fortunately, there is no danger
of his views becoming popular. The
administration and the American peo-
pie are against Senator Teller in this
matter.

THE MATTHEWS RESOLUTION.

A Washington special in The Herald
of yesterday stated that soon after con-
gress reconvenes, an effort will be made
to find out just how the Mckinley Re-
pubIicans from the mountain states
really stand on the silver question.
With this object in view, it is pro-
posed to place Senators Wolcott, Shoup,
Carter. Warren and Clark on record by
attempting to have the famous Stanley
Matthews resolution tackled on to some
appropriation bill as an amendment.
1t is generally understood that Senator
Teller will offer the resolution as an
amendment
This resolution was introduced in the
senate by Senator Stanley Matthews of
Ohio, Dec. 6, 1877. The senate passed
it Jan. %, 1878, by a vote of 43 to %,
and on the 2Sth of the same month it
was passed by the house by a vote of
1S9 to 70. It is interesting to note that
among the Republicans in the house
who voted for it was William McKin-
ley, now president of the United States.
The resolution is so important of it
self and is destined to play so import
ant a part in the financial discussions
OF the near future, and perhaps the
financial policy of the government, that
we give it entire:
