ROoseVelt'S Measurements.

~ one or two occasions recently
~ the Standard has called atten,
ton to the fact that Governor
Roosevelt's Ohio speech was utterly
void Of argument and that some of his
statements We're absolutely untrue. It
is a serious thing to charge the gov
ernor Of the great state of New York
with any departure from the strictest
rules of veracity. and such a charge
should never be made unless it can be
fully sustained.
There are two statements Of Roose-
Velt's that the Standard has particu-
larly specified as having not a vestige
Of truth to support them: First, that
the democratic party is in favor of a
forty eight-cent dollar" and, second
that the arguments of the republicans
against free coinage ARE so conclusive
that the democrats are afraid to meet
them and seek to conceal the issue"
We have been expecting-although
not very strongly-to see some of those
"silver republican" newspapers in this
state that have professed to regard the
silver issue as paramount" enter an
earnest and indignant protest against
this statement by Roosevelt concerning
the silver issue, which is a direct impu-
tation upon the personal integrity of
at least seventy-five per cent of the
voters of Montana-nay, ninety Per
cent, if Judged by their past utterances.
But these papers have played the silver
string about as long as they deem it
policy to do so, and it is evident
'aat II IS no part Of their purpose to
huTt any prominent republican.
Hence we will briefly state how and
wherein Governor Roosevelt's state
ments are untrue. With reference to
the second proposition. It is enough
TO say that in every state in which the
democracy have ever been for silver
the principle of free coinage at the ratio
of sixteen to one has been distinctly
and emphatically reaffirmed within the
last few months. More than this the
Massachusetts democrats have swung
| from gold 10 silver in d manner that
| indicates tremendous change of sem
timent there in favor of silver. Ken
lucky also shows a marked increase cr
silver strength, and every recorn;zed
national leader of the democratic partv
to-day is openly advocating the free
coinage OF silver at the cid ratio. So
much for that.
Now, for the forty eisht-cent dol
lar" proposition. What Governor Roose-
welt means by this is that at the Dres
ent market price of silver. the metal in

On the Very Edge.

s~THE shot whose echo the civilized
world awaits this morning is
not the one that will speed rival
yachts in friendly contest over the wat
ers off Sandy Hook That sound serves
to entertain a great public in piping
times OF peace, but the grim signal
awaited to-day is the one that will lie
noted as the first shot in war that
now seems unavoidable and in the out
come of which every nation on two
continents is engrcssed
This mornings dispatches find diplo-
matte relations between the Beers and
the British suspended. The govern
ment at London, it appears. construed
the ultimatum as a diplomatic formal
ity that could not receive a diplomatic
answer; it was, in fact, made to serve,
for all intents and purposes, as a
declaration of war, and we may believe
that this construction put upon it was
entirely satisfactory to Mr.. Chamber
lain and to those of his associates who
have been doing all that in their power
lay to promote a lingo policy and SEN
timent throughout England.
Sir Alfred Miner is heard from, The
American public, judging him by bis
recent dispatches has looked upon him
as an individual who is willing to pro-
mote the Chamberlain plan and WHO
has aimed adroitly TO bring the pend
ing troubles to a clash. He is quoted
this morning as saying that he has
hna r tn
but that there are certain important
things-relating to the movement of
troops and the like-respecting which
he doesn't feel called upon to give any
assurances to the Beers. Meanwhile,
Mr.. White, the consular representative
at London of the Transvaal, has pulled
up stakes and betaken himself from
London to the continent His parting
words are a vigorous denunciation of
the course to which the London cabinet
is now fully committed
1t all looks very warlike Somehow
these tumutuous preliminaries recall
those days, in our own recent expert
ence, when Minister Woodford was
hustling his official self out of Madrid
and Senior Polo. grip in hand, breathed
out threatenings and slaughter against
the United States, as the fastest train
on the road hurried him into Canada.
1t is much the same: that is to say, IN
respect to wars preparatory steps.
VIGOROUSLY, within England itself the
sentiment hostile to the Chamberlain
policy and to the war that now seems
inevitable has been very strong and it
has not failed to find expression. As
was the case in this country, when we
disciplined Spain. so now it probably
will be in England-the government
will be sustained For those who thus
far have been with the opposition the
pace is set in the manifesto issued nv
Lord Rosebery which is a part Of this
mornings Transvaal news. That event
would be natural: yet the Standards
belief is that, in this threatened wars
jpreliminaries, there is very little that
should serve to commend England's at
titude to the good will of the American
public.

that Conyngham Greene, the British
diplomatic agent at Pretoria, has been
assassinated there. The report. how
ever, Is unconfirmed and is denied at
the colonial office.
The rumor that Mr.. Greene has been
murdered is of doubtful origin and is
considered improbable. as it is believed
that in obedience to orders from the
imperial government Mr.. Greene had
already left Pretoria, contiding the care
of British interests to United States
