THE SENATE RESOLUTION.

1t cannot be doubted that the pas
sage of the Teller resolution by the
United States Senate on Friday even
ing, declaring the bonded indebtedness
of the United States to be payable n
silver coin if the Government so elects,
will have an important influence upon
American securities of the natlonai
bond order, and incidentally upon all
other securities held against the Amer
lean credit, public or private. While
the action of the Senate is not, of
course, conclusive, and while 1t Is un-
likely that it will be followed by the
House, still it will tend to depress the
public credit.
/ Happily, the Government is not now
in the market for loans, and the effect
upon it will be slight, if not inappre-
ciable, at present. The passage OF the
resolution was most significant as indi-
eating the relaxed tension of party con-
troll. On the alignments laid down by
the resolution Senators parted company
with their political colleagues, and men
who are looked upon as strong Admin
istration Senators went squarely
against the Administration party on
this one issue.
The declaration of the resolution rel
ative TO the right to redeem in coin OF
the Government is clear enough, put
we confess to a good deal of CONFUSION
in attempting to interpret the further
expression announcing that it is not
in Violation of the public faith to re-
store to it's coinage such silver dollars
(the standard as a legal tender IN
payment of bonds. Clearly the free
coinage men intend to have it construed
to be 16-to-1 free-coinage commit
ment, but friends of the measure as
strenuously insist that it cannot be SO
read.
The burden Of opinion and Of reason
would sustain, in our judgment, the
construction put upon it by those who
look upon the resolution as distinct
16-to-1 declaration But that declara-
ton cannot be taken to mean that Con-
gress is prepared or will enact laws
necessary to turning the mints over to
the silver miners. 1t is notable that
throughout the lengthy debate there
was no satisfactory, indeed, no ade-
quate reply at all to the iteration OF
the opponents of the resolution that
under the present policy Of the Gov
ernment, and which the people recog-
nize as cumulative Of production, mate
rial industries and improved conditions,
all the money of the United States Of
every character, is maintained at face
value and call, and all the silver dol
lars are maintained at a parity with
the gold dollars of the nation, while no
man has suffered loss by the deprecia-
ton Of any stamped or printed promise
Of the Government to pay.
The opponents of the resolution
charged, without eliciting a direct reply,
that the resolution distinctly proposes
a disparity by threatening to pay in a
coinage not recognized, as yet, by the
great nations Of earth with which
we have to deal, as of equal value with
the accepted medium Of exchange.

SHORT SWEETENING
The Citrograph: California is ex-
pected TO produce 100000 tons of beet
sugar the coming season. One-half
of this will be consumed in this State,
leaving 7S,000 tons, or $3.50 carloads,
to be shipped East. AS the impprta-
ton last year was about 2,000,0O tons,
California will have to build about a
hundred more sugar factories before
we will cut much of a figure in sup
plying the United States demand for
short sweetening''

In this country when a public scam
dal develops all hands, from politician
to press, from pulpit to clubroom, do
their utmost to uncover it and lay bare
all it's details. In France when public
scandal develops all hands unite TO hush
it up fog the honor of France as they
put it. Which is the better system :?
We confess that we do not like the
French method. The honor Of the ma
tion should demand no concealments
and fear no disclosures. There are a
great many people in France and many
more outside of it who do not believe
that CAPTAIN Dreyfus was fairly treat
ed; that he was not tried as becomes
such a nation as France that he was
not given proper opportunity to make
his defense, and that if he was not
least considerably hurried. Emile Zola
has done the bravest thing of his life,
and possibly the best thing, by saying
as much and challenging the accusers
VI OlGy 1QS " IHtSl MIN DGIOTt LII
bunal where there can be no conceal
ments and no suppressions, and where
fair play Will be the order of the day
This challenge has put Zola in the at
titude of a defendant; indeed, he is now
himself on trial for assailing "the hon.
or Of France" and one of his accusers
is to appear against him I'm Uniform
for the Honor of France" If the
French Government thinks at this late
day that it can apply the screws to
free speech; If 1t thinks France will
tolerate governmental control Of the
press that will enable the truth to be
suppressed .for the honor of France, -
it makes sorry mistake. We be-
lieve the day has gone by when even
in France such trespass upon human
rights will be tolerated. Zola may be
defeated in his challenge, he may be
wrong in his charges, but assuredly
the French Government will not dare
to lay its hands upon the noted author
for having the courage to speak out
and demand exposition of the truth

REDUCTION OF ARMY FORCES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-The secretary
Of war received a number of telegrams
from the governors of various states in re-
gard to the proposed reduction of the army.
In the majority OF cases the governors sug-
gest regiments OF their state- which NAV
be mustered out among the first, but there
are several cases where the governors say
that certain OF their state troops are ex-
ceedingly desirous Of remaining in the mill
itary service and taking part in any further
campaigns. The secretary of war is pre-.
pairing list OF regiments which shall be
mustered out first, under the present plan
of reducing the army by $4,000 or loo 600
men. 1t is probable this list will be made
public next week, by which time 1t Is hoped
to have the matter finally determined.
The Second regiment OF infantry has re-.
quested that 1t be assigned to duty with

Grafters Change Tactics.

Either new gang of grafters are in the
field or else the old ones have changed
their tactics. The old lock game, formerly
used to ensnare suckers, has given place to
the three-card monte game Herman
Garmes Of Columbus, Neb,, was shown the
game by two men yesterday and IL cost
him SIS. The steerer for the games met
Garmes at Fourteenth and Farnam streets
and on promise to show him the packing
houses took him to South Omaha and
steered him to a low saloon. While waiting
for the guide who was to take them into
the packing plant, the steerer induced
Garmes to play a game of three card monte.
While engaged in the game a bogus Off
Ger appeared and the other ran away with
Garmes' money. The officer told the sucker
to go to the Columbia saloon, 1905 Douglas
street, and there await his arrival. He said
he would capture the gambler and get the
money, which he would return to him.
Garmes went to the saloon designated and
waited from noon until 3 o'clock. but the
officer did not show up. 1t then dawned on
him that he had been robbed and he re-
ported his loss to the police.
