THE P-L AND SENATOR HANNA

The Post-Intelligencer does not know
where Senator Hanna obtained his au-
thority to define policy for the republi-
can party. Most republicans have had
quite enough of Hanna and his astonish
ing assum ption that the party is his pro-
perry and he il its prophet. The Ohio
senator recently sent word to the republic
cans Of Utah that they must not declare
for silver in their platform. The republi
cans of Utah would have been justified in

MASK THROWN ASIDE.

The republican party has thrown aside
the mask of international bi.metslism
which 1t wore two years ago and comes
out boldly for the gold standard says the
Calfax Commoner.
The gold standard means: dollars
which will buy the most. Notwitbstand.
ing demands and evssions this is the in
evitable conclusion. 1t was the argu-
ment which Mr.. Mckinley and his sup
porters made In the last campaign TO the
lsboring men. "You want to be paid in
dollars which will buy the most" they
said and the lsboring men believed them
and did not stop to think that 1.-THE dollar
which buys the most is the dollar which
costs the most and that the men who pos
sess the dollars can combine more easily
and effectively than the men who have
labor or products to give in exchange for
the dollars.
Do the people Of the United States
want to use dollars which will buy the
most? That is the question which :must
be settled before the silver issue is set
tied. The weight OF evidence that the
decentralization of silver caused an sp-
probation in the value of gold, and that
this appreciation OF gold resulted In de-
probation of the value of everything
measured in gold, is overwhelming.
"But In all the information we have
before us, We are unable to find anything
which points to the conclusion that the
recent rise in prices will be permanent in
character, and in the case of wheat, II
has already been succeeded by a consider
able fall"
The republicans have been honest
enough this year to say that they want
the gold standard. Now let them be
honest enough to say that they want it
because 1t means dollars which will buy
the most. On this proposition the
money question will eventually be fought
out and settled.

Death of Hon. Iohn W. Herbert.

The death of Hon. John w. Her
bert removes from Monmouth County
one who has been intimately associ-
ated with its development for many
years. He was a man of very strong
convictions, and was never afraid to
express them under any circumstance
that presented itself. He was of ster-
ling integrity of character, and as he
was vigorous and active in every or
ganization to which he belonged, he
took a leading part in their manage
ment and was looked upon as a wise
and safe leader and able counsellor.
Ex-Judge Herbert was pre-eminent-
ly man of the people, and was loved
by his friends and respected by those
who differed with him. In politics
he was sterling Republican. and his
services were always at the command
of his party. to which he was
a liberal contributor. He was init
mateIy associated with all the promi-
nent men of New Jersey for the past
half century, and his memory was re-
markable for figures and events that
had happened during his busy career.
As firm supporter of Republican
doctrines he gave his hearty support
TO the owners and editors of THE In
QUIRER during the past half century,
and t one time he owned the paper.
Faithful TO his friends, and liberal to
the poor, he was especially beloved
by those who had received favors
from him. and as his body is commit
ted to the dust. their tears will flow
at recollections of friendly associa
tions, and in sympathy with those
who were near and dear to him.
