ohio RenubIican Hnrmonr

Washington experienced a queer lurid
and comet.like visitation not long ago 1t
was in the person of a political emssary from
Ohio, who was facetiously introduced by
waggish friend of his, as John Muloihu-
spector, the mercury-footed messenger OF
Marcus Hanna"
The uninitiated finally solved the puzzle
by ascertaining that this coguomen was
only playful combination of the gentle
mans name and the salary with which he
has made connection.
1t appears that it is his habit ever and
anon to speed like the swift-footed and
glib-tongued messenger that he is, from
one Ohio Republican faction to another in
pursuance of his ambassadorial functions.
When we consider the misunderstanding
outcome of the startling Muloiliuspector's
incursions, we wonder why he should want
to do this sort of thing, or why the great
Oberons of the party should want to send
their mercurial Puck on such purely mis-
chief-making errands.
According to the Muoiliuspector's pic.
turesque and graphic account of his latest
wrestle with Ohio Republican politics,
promptly given out on his return to the
Buckeye capital the Daugherty fac
and prolonged kowtOwiug to the
Hanna managers, contrived to secure
the great boon Of an interview with
that enthroned and potent power. Having
obtained this concession. the emissaries of
Daugherty threw aside humility and
assumed an aspect of "huling-ity." They
wanted the "Hule" thing. With porcine
ayidity they demanded everything for their
side except a couple Of plums that Hanna
himself is after.
Tompkins was to be retired to a deeper.
obscurity, if possible, than that which at
present envelopes him. aud Dick was to be
tolerated if he contents himself with part
of what he already has On these con-
ditions the doughty knights of Daugherty
are willing to quit sulking in their tents
and do loyal battle for the G. o. P. The
Foraker faction are nowhere, not even men
toned. and George Cox says he will par.
alyze which ever side has the support of
Dsugherty
1t appears that the object of the Muloil-
inspectors activities must be classed
among those things no fellow can find out,
but the results seem to be anything but the
promotion of harmony. The more these
Republican dogs Of war fight over the bone
of place and power, the less likely it is that
any of them will get it. While the CANNES
are snarling over the prey, the roosters, if
they are wise. may step in and carry it off.
This determination Of the three Ohio Re-
publican parties and the provisional fourth
party TO fight among themselves for some
thing which is not theirs, and which they
have only fighting chance to get by the
completest union and harmony, savors
strongly Of that impertinent presumption
that the voters of the state are fond OF re-
buking at the polls. They have rebuked it
emphatically before and they will do so
again.
When that time comes there will still be
an oil inspectors salary, but it will be in
spected by some Democrat after he has in-
ished inspecting the shattered political re-
mains of the great Muloilinspector and the
entirely unlovely cadavers of the various
Republican parties Of the state.

A Word with Evans successor.

The Civil Service, of which the President
IS stern guardian, has been grossly vio-
lated by Hon II. Clay Evans. He has
fosted into the best places in his bureau
nephews, nieees ard relatives over the
heads of meritorious and deserving clerks.
The new Commissioner will, it is to be
hoped, relegate these Evans relatives and
preferred favorites to their proper places in
the department AT least the old soldier
element will look to the new commissioner
to effect this primary and essential reform
on assuming the duties of his office. The
violations of the Civil Service law appears
to be permissible when chiefs of the Evans
type are the vtolators, but when Congress
attempts or designs, in perfectly just aud
Legitimate manner, as in the permanent
census law to reward faithful and meri-
torious clerical service to the Government.
the commissioners and the whole brood Of
department chiefs unite in common howl
and yelp themselves hoarse at the assault
on the merit system ad RaHSeam.
Let these relatives of Mr.. Evans who
have been jumped over the heads of their
Older and more meritorious fellow clerks
be assigned to their proper positions in the
Pension Office and we will guarantee the
new Commissioner the commendations Of
not only the old soldiers. but of all who be-
lieve in an honest administration Of the
Civil Service law.

A stupid statement.

The most stupid editorial we have ever
read appeared in the esteemed Post Friday
last in defense of sending American students
to Oxford College, and in reply to timely
criticism in Massachusetts paper. The Posi-
says:
"Supposing all that to be true. supposine
that greatest of all British universities to
have been and still TO be an exhaustless
fountain of absOlutism, is it not strange that
Great Britain is to-day immeasurably more
democratic than the United Statesl Our
Springfield contemporary is ZOO intelligent
TO be ignorant of that fact and too honest to
dispute it, II knows that the British gov
ernment, in spite of its gaudy show Of
monarchy and its impotent house of peers,
is based on suffrage, on the will Of the peo-
pie, with a directuess that is altogether
lacking in our system"
In the news columns of the Post of the
same date is the refutation of its editorial
The government which IS "immeasurably
more Democratic than the United States"
announces the suspension Of the writ Of
ha5eas corpHS and the policy of coercion
for Ireland For one hundred years since
the passage of the act Of union between
Luglanu ana ireland the FORMER country
has met the latter country's agitation for
democratic" reforms with this answer Of
coercion, iails and suppression by violence
The impotent House of Peers" is the real
ruling force of the British Empire, as the
Post should know, but for IT'S inexcusable
stupidity, ANY vital principle affecting
the hereditary privilege of this body Of
aristocrats is killed in the House of Lords
The House of Commons passed under
Gladstone's ministry an Irish home rule
bill. All (liberal) England reioiced that
the Irish question was at length settled.
When the bill reached "the Impotent
House of Lords" that body of hereditary
and privileged rulers refused its concur
renee and voted against its passage through
their chamber Thus it will be seen by even
the Post that it is the hereditary peers Of
England and not its commons or people s
representatives who are the real rulers of a
country "immeasurably more democratic
than the United States"

This letter was written in reply to an

ence to the necessity Of having uniform

Readers of the GLOBE will observe that
there is a great difference between the

An out.oeDato Statesman.

Congressman Grosvenor, Of Ohio, is a
statesman Of a cult that it is to be hoped
will soon go out Of fashion. He seems to
think that nothing can be done without the
aid of fake methods.
His attitude toward soldiers pensions is
no exception to the devious ways that are
usual with him He poses as great assistant
of soldiers in getting pensions and increase
Of pensions. This is the way he does it,
The soldier writes to him to look after his
claim at the Pension Office. GrosvenOr's
clerk. whose salary is paid by the Govern
ment, writes to the Commissioner Of PEN
sions asking what condition the claim is in.
One of the Commissioners three thousand
clerks replies that the evidence is being
considered" Grosvenor's clerk sends this
inspiring information to the claimant, who
Is breathlessly waiting.
The soldier could get this information, if
such it can be called, much more expedi-
tiously by writing to the Commissioner Of
Pensions we're it not for the fact that the
silvery-whiskered sage from the Eleventh
Ohio dearly loves to fool the old soldiers
and get their gratitude and their support for
something he doesn't do.
The soldier having received the 'encour-
agement" just described, waits e1pectantly
year or two-ofteu much ionger-and again
writes Grosvenor and again gets through
the same clerical channel the reply that the
evidence is being considered.
It is thus that the sage Of Athens" keeps
solid with the soldier vote If Grosvenor
ever gave any real assistance to a soldier or
soldiers widow in getting pension or in.

Mac staln on onr Escntcheon.

Mr.. Fowler's report from the Committee
on Banking and Currency is an exhaustive
treatise on the gold standard and in further
ance of the protection of the national credit.
Mr., Fowler declares the purposes of the
measure to be to secure the advantage of
longer experience, and therefore a higher
degree of intelligence and more perma-
nent policy in the supervision of our vast
banking interests.
To protect ths national credit against
assault through the demand obligations of
the Government by completely relieving the
Treasury at once of burden amounting to
more than seven hundred millions.
TO transfer from the Government to the
banks the entire responsibility of providing
and protecting the commercial reserve, and
to impose upon the banks the burden of
furnishing all the gold that may be needed
for export or for any other purpose.
To place the Government in a position
where its relation and duty to commerce is
limited to fixing the standard, establishing
measure of value furnishing all token
money, and providing for a system of
paper currency.
To simplify and limit the Governments
fiscal operations by con6ning it to the coll
lection Of its revenues and the payment Of
its expenses. precisely as the several states
and all municipalities collect and disburse
their revenues.
To provide for system of paper currency
which is absolutely sound, uniform, re-
spousive, always adequate, and perfectly
under all conditions.
To lower and equalize the rates of in
terest in all parts of the United States, so
that the farmer and the manufacturer in
our smaller cities and remote sections may
be placed upon equal terms with the bor-
rowers in our great commercial centers.
To give to our banking institutions the
privilege Of establishing themselves any.
where in the United States and its posses
sions and in all other countries, for the
purpose Of extending American trade. con-
trolling foreign exchange and insuring the
successful development of our merchant
marine.
o wipe lNc last siam OF uaklSm from
the escutcheon of our nations commercial
honor, and remove the last doubt hanging
over our national credit by providing for the
redemption in gold coin of all the legal
tender money of the Government including
the silver dollar, as we'll as the United States
and Treasury notes and the subsidiary coins.
In such a comprehensive measure to
wipe the last stain Of 6atism from the
escutcheon Of our nations honor" il is sim
gular that Mr.. Fowler overlooked, or appar-
emily has forgotten, that the men who saved
not only the Treasury but the Government
are still very large stain on the escut-
cheon, etc, They were paid less than fifty
cents on the dollar in fat" money and
are the only creditors of the Government
whose claims have been ignored The bond
holders and all other creditors of the Gov
ernment had their fiat money made good
with gold, dollar for dollar. The Civil War
veteran is still unpaid, who saved the union,
at sI3 per month fiat" money Why has
the veteran been overlooked in wiping of
the stain from the escutcheon of our
nations honor?"

Whether Amalgam copper shares
are going up or going down seems now
| to be largely a question OF whether Mr.
Rogers and his associates have shaken
out the public or not. If the stock Is
| back again in the hands of the Rogers
| clique its present price is probably low
water mark; il there are still some hold
ers foolish enough to have confidence in
It, and to hold on to their purchases
| made at higher prices. today's hgures
are by no means the bottom. Such APP
pears to be the Judgment of the well IN
formed. The street may discuss the
condition Of the metal market, the costly
litigation with Heinze, the uncertainty
of future dividends, but the only matter
with which the INSIDERS" now concern
themselves is how soon will their raid
on the stock bring it back into their
hands at half the price at which they
sold There is not the slightest doubt
that that is the game now being played.
So far as is known, the Amalgamated
Copper Company is a purely stock-own-
ing concern. 1t was organized under the
laws of New Jersey, In April, 1899, with
an authorized capital OF s75,0OO0O0. When
in November. 1900. its shares were admit
ted to the unlisted department of the
New York Stock Exchange, the accom-
panying statement declared that. with
the exception of Organizers shares it
owned the whole of the Washoe Company
the Colorado Smelling and Mining Com
pany, the Diamond Coal and Coke Com
pany, and the Black Foot Milling Com
pany, whose stocks aggregated 50, 100 600.
and a majority OF the shares OF the Ana
conda Copper Mining Company the Par
rot Silver and Copper Company and the
Hennessy Mercantile Company. whose
stock in the aggregate amounted to $685.
79s, 500.
1t was also set forth that it was
large owner" OF the stock of the Boston
and Montana Consolidated Copper and
Silver Mining Company. No definite state
ment was made of the actual holdings of
the Amalgamated Company in those
various stocks. and no information was
given as to the values of the property or
the condition of the business OF the diff
ferent mining companies. 1t has been
stated that the promoters profits in eff
fecting this combination were more than
s25 100000
Last June an additional issue of $780,
100000 of Amalgamated stock was au-
thorized for the purpose OF acquiring
stock OF the Boston and Montana and
of the Butte and Boston Consolidated
Mining Company. The authorized capital
of the former was only SO. 750 900, but its
stock had reached $500 in 1899, and when
the proposed absorption was announced
the price OF bankers receipts for the
shares went up to s49S. Butte and Bos-
ton had sold under Sc share in 1897, but
had fluctuated between $3.50 and $94 so
in 1898. and gone as high as $104 in 1899
Just before the transfer to the Amalga-
mated it went to s124.5e. The acquisition
of last summer was made on the basis OF
51-3 shares of Amalgamated for one of
Boston and Montana, and 1-3 of Butte
and Boston together. 1t was then that
