HE killing of the Silver Question is
perennial source of recreation to the
Plutocrat. While he is conducting the
more arduous affairs of the days bust
ness, he finds time to take shy at il
and knocks it into the middle of next
week. or next month, just as he choos-
has the comfortable assurance that he
has done his whole duty and spared
ations on Change to destroy the Silver
Question from the face of the earth
once more. In the morning it meets
him again at the threshold of the day,
bright, rosy and vigorous, as he rather
thought it would-an abiding monu-
ment to the doctrine of the resurrec-
ton of the dead. The Silver Question
| looks to be killed two or three times
each week. 1t rather enjoys it, and
would be disappointed and saddened il
the number OF executions it has to un-
dergo should be reduced. 1t shows to
the world what a genial optimist the
Plutocrrat editor is. He sharpens his
broadaxe and gets a new club each
morning and sails in to annihilate the
Silver Question with as much conf
dence as he did twenty years ago, and
each evening swears that it is dead,
damned, and delivered over TO the
Father of Evil, as if lying was not pro-
hibited by Holy Writ, and would prove
no impeachment to the salvation of his
soul, should he have one. Some of
the brethren latterly have begun to
show signs of WEAKNESS In the cause.
Mr.. Mathew Marshall, the financial
writer of the New York San, who has
killed the Silver Question as often as
any other living man, seems to think
the rascally debtor is at the bottom of
this phenomenal vitality. For the life
OF him he cannot see how any self
respecting, God-fearing debtor can OBJ
ject to paying a greater sum than he
contracted to pay. That such people
exist vexes his righteous soul. His
withers are wrung by such mendacity.
He suggests that, should the next Con-
gress be Republican and do Mr.. Nc
Kinley's bidding in financial legisla-
ton, still the Silver Question would in
all probability escape from its coffin to
vex the upright with its ghost, and to
sustain his view he points to the fact
that the members of the present British
Cabinet, as we'll as majority of the
House of Commons, are Silver men,
and are only restrained from acting in
accordance with their view by the
death-grip which the money-sharks
have on England's finances. But,
then, the members of the present Brit
ish Cabinet are cranks, lunatics, and
dishonest men. OF course they are!

The CD. says that the reputation
of the State would be advanced by Re-

advanced" by Republican domination
That city to-day has more misgovern-
ment and corruption to the square inch
than any other municipality on the
western continent. Perhaps the peo-
pie want a Ziegenhein in control of

REPUBLICAN Senator Quay seems to
be in the tolls, charged with adding to
his portion of the alleged prosperity
now prevailing by taking and using
other peoples money. Senator Quay,
it will be remembered, is one of those
finauciers who are so sanctimoniously
solicitous of ''the national honor" that
they would rather have the gold stand
ard rob the debtor than that the latter
should be smirched with the appear
ance of evil.

would be no strategic advantage against
