free coinage silver would riss to a parity

While the action of the Senate will have
no direct effect, it is nevertheless to be
regretted because it puts the government
in very unfavorable light before the
world. The comment abroad will be that
the highest branch of the American Con-
gress, the branch which is supposed to be
the most deliberate and the least affected
by popular passion and prejudice, has gone
on record in favor of the reputation OF
a part of the national debt, for that is
what the payment of the bonds IN silver
under existing conditions would amount
to. A stigma will inevitably be placed
upon our honor and honesty by the SEN
ate's action which may do us harm In the
future. A high reputation for honesty is
rs valuable to government rs to an IN
dividual. 1t is more indispensable because
the lender of the. government has nothing
to rely on but the governments honesty
while the lender to the individual has
the law to aid him in compelling pay
ment. Hence a man may lend to an in
diyidual of doubtful reputation for
honesty tor he has the processes Of the
law to help him out, but not to a govern
ment of similar reputation because there
the law cannot help him, and his sole re-
lance must be upon the honesty and good
faith of his debtor.
A crisis may arise at any time when
the United States will go into the market
as borrower Of money. We have had to
borrow $500, 900. 600 within few years,
and if we should have war with Spain
(and most of tho silver Senators have
voted in the past in way to bring on
such conflict) we should most likely
want to borrow more. It is easy to see
how q vote like that of Friday would
affect our chances of getting money on
favorable terms Certainly in the face of
the declaration of majority of the Sem
ate that it was perfectly legitimate to pay
| the creditor in any currency that we
might make legal tender, no matter what
its actual value, a rush for our
bonds could hardly be expected.
About the most serious blow
that can be inflicted upon nation
is a blow at it's credit. 1t is bad enough
when it comes from the outside, and the
nation is not responsible for it. 1t is in
fnitely worse when it comes, as in this
case. from the inside, because it then i'm
pairs not only the nations borrowing
power but impeaches its honesty also.

SENATE REGULATORS.

The passage of the Teller resolution by
thu Senate demonstrates two things; first
that there is large majority In the SEN
coinage of silver; second, that no legisla-
ton calculated to strengthen and protect
the existing standard can pass this Con-
gress. Perhaps it can be fairly said to
demonstrate a third, namely, that the
currency question is not yet settled, and
is to be fought over again in the next
Presidential campaign. The resolution
was given good deal more significance
than would have come from it's passage
merely, by the voting down Of number
of amendments, notably the one offered
by Senator Hoar declaring that under no
consideration will the principal or in
terest of the bonds be paid in deprecated
currency. The defeat of this amend
Inent would appear to put the
majority of the Senate on record as being
perfectly willing to cheat the govern
ment's creditors provided they can do SO
without violating the letter of the con-
tract. Heretofore the silver Senators hove
at least professeG honesty. They have
claimed that free coinage would SO raise
the value Of silver as to place the silver
dollar on parity with the gold dollar,
and this has been their answer to the
charge that they were seeking to pay the
debt in deprecated currency. But when
Senator Hoar invited them to declare that
If their belief should be a mistaken one
and silver should not rise to a parity,
they would not favor the payment Of the
Londs in the cheaper dollar (for that was
the effect Of Senator Hoar's amendment)
every one of them refused, thus showing
the hollowness of their professed desire to
do full justice to the government creditor,
as well as betraying doubts as to the cor
rectness of their assumption that under

The accident on the Maine Central rail-
road at Orono on Saturday is the worst
that has occurred in this state in many
years. The fatalities up to the present
time number four, but probably more
vii die. The list of injuries is long
one and most likely many of them will
prove very serious. The cause of the acct
dent can only be conjectured at the
present time. but the probability is that
the intense cold had rendered q rail or
wheel or both brittle and that the break
ing of one or both of these threw the train
from the track. 1t was very likely one of
those disasters which no amount of fore
sight could have prevented.

When that political fossil, Senator Turpie,
is succeeded by an up-to-date and true-blue
Republican, Indiana will have a senatorial
team which will command respect and add
grace to the national body.W aShington Ga

With a safe Republican majority in both
branches of the Indiana Legislature. Wig
orous campaign for the United States SEN
atorship will be inaugurated. Probably
none whose name has been mentioned in
connection with this position would more
nearly represent the people than j. Frank.
Hanly. Mr.. Hanly will certainly receive the
united and earnest support of the Tenth
DISQUALIFICATION County Enterprise.
Geographical lines should be obiterated,
because a man who is not big enough to
represent the whole State should never be
elected to the position of United States SEN
ator. In writing this we had intended CIV
ing expression to no choice, and shall only
now impose our personal opinion as to the
man whom we think most nearly represents
the idea We have so earnestly and honestly

daily. So far Frank B. Posey, A ]. Bever-

McKeen and Lew Wallace are retired from
the list of possibilities and the indications
now are young man will be chosen to be
the coadiutor of Senator Fairbanks OF
the above list any one would make good
one.-Union City Times.
What Republican will succeed Senator
Turpie is now a leading question for discus
sion. Judge Taylor, of Fort Wayne; Con-
gresham Steele, of Marion: ex-Congress-
man Hanly, of Lafayette; A. J. Beverage,
of Indianapolis Frank Posey, of Evans
VILE and others have or will enter the race.
Judge Taylor seems to have the lead at
present. Beveridge has a strong personal
following, but the fact that he resides in
Indianapolis, the home of Senator Fair
banks, Injuries his chances.-Franklin Re-
publican.
The Republicans will elect the Senator to
succeed Turpie. We hope all the senators
and representatives will hold themselves un-
pledged. and when they meet in caucus
nominate the brainiest Republican to be
found in the State. We trust our repre-
sentatives will have the sense to put aside

piece of mediocrity be sent to the Senate or

At the present writing it does not appear
that Thomas Taggart should be considered
the logical Democratic candidate for Gov

Vile Republican.
Mountebank Cheadle, it is declared, will
seek to make another race for Congress in
the Ninth district. Salvation in this in

to get away from the candidate. Otherwise
there would be no hope.-Lafayette Courier.
Governor Mount is to be credited with an
other exhibition of good judgment in re-

is the best evidence of their fitness for the

If it be true, as stated by the president
of the Conference of Charities and Correc-

it costs 60 per cent more to care for pau

is surely something radically wrong in our
method of dispensing charity.-Kokomo

That Indiana is true to the gold standard
at time when the advocates Of rotten

The South has been made solidly Demo-

a step to graver crimes but as a penalty
for its crimes it has lost its influence po-

The Legislature will be forced to meet the
question Of state and nonstate schools. The
makeup of the State Board of Education
and it's methods of appointment will be a
matter to be considered carefully. In the
opinion of the Review there is only one
proper method of appointment, and that is
the plan of appointment in other lines Of
work. The state superintendent should be
the president of the board, but the other
members should be selected from the edu-
catiOnal and business men OF the State.
The board should have at least two men of
wide practical business experience, and the
interest in educational matters.-EIkhart
