The Silent Vote.

Richard Croker's hope Is In the silent
vote. Is 1t the same sort of hope that was
expressed in 1896? Then. as We all remem-
Der. 1t was the silent vote that was to turn
the trick. The wage earners-such as had
jobs-registered almost to a man, and this
was comforting to the sound money side
But the Bryantes smiled and said: BE not
deceived. The men are registering under
compulsion. They dare not refuse. Their
jobs depend upon their outward display OF
acquiescence In the wishes of the bosses.
But wait until the votes are counted. and
you'll see the difference between the tyran-
ny Of the open workshop and the freedom
of the private polling booth" This expec
tation was disappointed. The wage earners
were not. as the Bryanites supposed. play
ing the sneak. They voted for Sound mon
ey. and for opening all the mills instead Of
the n1ints. They materially helped to carry
the day for return Of business confidence
and good times.
Now. where is this silent vote which is to
give Mr.. Bryan success this year to come
from? From the ranks of the wage earn
ers? Are they secretly preparing to empty
their dinner pals. and help precipitate
panic which would strike mill owner and
mill worker alike with disaster? Does Mr..
Croker put so low an estimate upon the
intelligence OF those men? From the ranks
Of the business men? One may easily un-
derstand why business men would choose
to remain silent during a heated political
campaign. Not many of them are doing it
in this campaign, but such may be are
probably influenced solely by a desire to
avoid the racket. But Is II to be supposed
that business men In any numbers are fig
uring complacently on smash? Does Mr..
Croker imagine that men who in private
affairs are keen raZors in public affairs
are dull as barlow knives? Is 1t his expec-
tation that business confidence is to be
orerthrown by the business world?
The case as 1t stands is this: The coun-
try Is prosperous. The people are employed.
The policies in operation are such as COM
mand domestic confidence and foreign re-
spect. They have brought us into touch
advantageousiy with all the great powers,
not in the nature of entangling alliances.
but in the nature of an increase of business
of many kinds Should not the admins
tration under which all of this has been
accomplished be Endorsed a the polls? And
silence-such silence as now exists-may
safely be accepted as giving consent

A Word to the south.
From the Richmond Times.


Lawlessness begets lawlessness, brutality
begets brutality, torture begets torture. Is
it not enough, In heavens name. that these
terrible crimes are committed by the black
brutes, but We must make the thing worse
and iujure ourselves and southern society by
resort to barbarous torture of the victim :?
Are we going to permit these brutes to
make US brutal? Are we going TO permit
these savages to make us savage? Are We
going to be more brutal and more savage
than the brutal savage who commits the
crime? Because a brutal negro commits q
nameless offense are we going to trample
our laws under foot and overthrow our in
Stitutions and undermine our society? :?
These are questions We say. that the south
ern people must consider seriously and
prayerfully. Our institutions are in danger
from ourselves We cannot expect to main
tain law and order and to raise up our boys
to respect the law If We uthleSsly trample
the law under foot and defy the officers of
the law. and not only deprive a man un-
lawfully of life. but by thods that would
put a savage to the blush. We cannot be
law-abiding and yet trample the law under
our feet We cannot be civilized and yet
initiate the ways of the savage.

The civil Service Issue.

o,,a of the threats Of the Chicago plat
forrn reaffirmed at Kansas city, was oi-
rected against civil service reform MI
R,van I'm his 4sss; speeches did not forget
to declare. specifically for this plank. Ref-
ereuces To wat his party proposed 10 &c
toward reform OF the civi! service were
frequent A correspondent whose letter L
printed in today's Star quotes from par
ticular speech delivered In this city, In the
course Of which Mr. Bryan avowed that ne
stood for a cIvil service In which the tenure
Of the clerk should be fixed tTreVocaoly'
thus giving to the incumbent assurance or
employment for certain time ana pre-
venting the upbuilding OF an office holding
class. This thin yeueering did not conceai
the ugly features Of the oid-time SPOTS
system.
In the light OF this review Of Mr. Bryan
position on the civil service question II Is
natural that Mr.. Carl Schurz should have
felt obliged TO resign from the presidency
OF he Civil Service Reform League in order
To he free in his support Of MIR. Bryan this
year 1t is source Of great and sincere
regret to the advocates of clvu service re-
form that Mr. Schurz should have made
this sacrifice. or rather that he should nave
placed himself in a position which required
the sacrifice of MS usefulness in the great
work with which he has been so long lden-
tired The cause for which he reiinquishes
the post he has filled so ably Is visionary
and intangible.
The Star has always held 10 the ideal OF
a civil service divorced from politics. In
which men and women should stand on
their merits as clerks, without regard &c
their partisan affiliations in which the ten
ure OF office should be determined by mt
ness and not by time OF appointment or the
character of influence or the passing OF
parties This has likewise been Mr.. Scnurz
doctrine. and ably has he advocated II
that it has become IN large measure real
ity. But there IS work yet TO be done. Tne
civil service Is not yet entirely removed
from the partisan plane. although greatly
is need stiii for workers who look upon the
subject from a practical patriotic stand
point, such workers as Mr. Schurz has al
ways proved himself in this connection.
Yet 1t would have been altogether illogical
for Mr.. SchurZ to remain at the head OF the
organization while advocating, on another
issue, the election of the man who stands
today as direct menace to civil service re-
form Ii bespeaks Mr.. Schurzs sense OF
the fitness of things that he wtthdraws
from one of these irreconcilabe positions

tage. had he held to his first principles anu

Gates Mt Grade Crossings,
From the Chicago Times Herald.

1t has been repeatedly demonstrated that
gates do not provide adequate protection at
railroad crossings. Gates will not prevent
accidents when railway companies do not
provide for their operation every hour. day
and night. Moreover, the fagman who
generally has charge Is very fallible be-
ing He becomes careless and inattentive
with long service. The day fagman at the
crossing where the nine persons were In
jured on Sunday had left just forty minutes
before the collision occurred. Gates at
grade crossings are merely a dangerous
makeshift. They afford no protection to
the public for the reason that they are
never operated when most needed.

MuSt Abide by II.
From the Indianapolis News.

MIR. Bryan said yesterday that II the re-
publicans had behaved themselves they
could have had the financial issue as the
paramount issue. Well. who is going to
keep them from having 1t the paramount
issue? Not Mr.. Bryan. certainly. In the
closing chapter Of his book, 1.-The First
Battle he said:
"In the contest for the restoration Of the
money of the Constitution, however, we
have reason to believe that 1900 will mark
the overthrow of the single gold standard"
And he closed his book with a poem of
Ella Wheeler Wilcox. the burden OF which
Is that mo question is ever settled until it
Is settled right" So he is working to Sc
cure the overthrow of the gold standard.
And the people are fighting him on that is
sue. He made it. He will have to abide

Electric Light Question Settled.

As stated in last weeks RECORD the
electric light injunction case was
argued before the Supreme Court.
On Friday last that body handed
down its decision from which we ex-
tract the following:
"0n May l5, 1899, the city council
of Canon City adopted an ordinance
known as ordinance No. 182, but the
adoption was not preceded by an
election and the franchise was i'm
mediatsly attached on the ground
that the law of 1893, pages 464 and
466, section l, found on page liza of
volume 3 of Mills Annotated statutes,
clause CT, hadinot been complied with
and the question was argued on de-
murrer to the complaint herein.
Among other questions involved in
the argument of the demurrer, was
the constitutionality of the statute of
1888, it being apparent that clause
CT of section 4403 of Mills Annota-
ted statutes did not include electric
works and it being apparent that the
statute of 1893 was especially intend
ed to make clause 67 apply to cleo
trio light works.
