"Reform la necessary" in the Demo
cratic Congress. The Sergeant-at-Arms
of the House has asked for a
personal assistant, and the request has
been referred to the Appropriation
Committee. The members of this
Committee ought to remember the
loud and long-proclaimed assertion
that the Democratic House was elect ed
to reduce expenses, and not to create
r ew offices and sinecures for pnrtis-au
dependents. For the current fiscal
year the appropriations for this oflice
are as follows:
Sorgeant-nt-Armsof the Ifouso of Rep
resentatives $4,000
For one horse and wagon fur his use 500
Clerk to tlie Serjeant-at-Arms 2,100
Taylng teller for tho Sergonnt-at-Arms.. 2.000
Messenger to the Scrgcant-at-Arms 1,200
Total fO.SOO
Nine thousand dollars per session
for running the oflice of Sergeant-at
Arms ought to be enough to satisfy
even a Reform- Democrat, when it is
remembered that the office pans out
about $25,000 a year to the incumbent
over and above the salary paid by law.

"No more oversights in the Auditor
General's oflice," was one of the flam
ing head liuea in the Jcjferaonian of
last week. We are at a loss to under
stand what our neighbor means by this
assertion He cannot be ignorant of
the fact that the present Auditor Gen
eral is a good Democrat, and that he
has had control of the office for a term
of years, with all the facilties at his
hand for preventing ''oversights," aud
if he has not done so as implied in this
accusation, it is clearly a fault of the
Democracy, that party having placed
confidence in a man who has been un
worthy. And accepting the truth of
the charge, coming as it does from one
who should be a friend, is there any
hope of improvement through the
election of another Democrat. Mr.
Schell seems to have tho confidence of
his party, but not to any great degree
more so than Mr. Temple, and it is a
little previous to say that there will be
no more "oversights" in that oflice.
And further, Mr. John M'Murray,
one of Brookville's respected citizens,
occupies one of the important clerk
ships in the Auditor General's office,
and to impute that there are "over
eights" under his administration is
very unkind to say the least of it.

Who Are To Troflt By It.
A bill has passed the popular branch
of Congress, and is now earnestly
pressed in the Senate, that provides
for the free coinage of all the silver
bullion that may be presented at the
government mints for the purpose,
Into legal-tender dollars of 412 grains.
We bog Congress and the country to
take pause and consider, what reward
there can be for the consummation of
this debasement of our money and the
corresponding debasement of the
credit and faith of the government.
Silver was last quoted in London,
the money centre of the world, at 54
pence rier ounce, or $ 1,07 J per ounce
of American standard silver, making
a dollar of 412 J grulns;, worth just 92
18-100 cents. Under tho bill now
pending in the Senate, if enacted into
a law, the proposed dollar of 412J
grains would be coined at the mint at
the rate of 110 4-11 cents per ounce.
The price of all silver bullion would be
at once raised, by an act of Congress,
from 107 cents to 110 4-11 cents, an
increase of 8 19-22 or within the small
est fraction of 9 cents per ounce. A
ton of 2,000 avoirdupois pounds of
Amencun silver is now worth $31,
379,25, which it Is proposed by the
House bill to Increase in nominal and
legal tender value to $ 13,900,55 in what
is popularly called "the dollar of our
fathers." The profit on silver bullion
to be realized by somebody by this
legislation would be $2,587.30 per ton,
or about 8J per cent. The annual
yield of silver iu the State of Nevada,
as stated in the report of Mr. Joucs, i8
about $30,000,000, or nearly 1,000 tons,
on which the net profit to the owners
of the bullion would be, in round
numbers $2,500,000 per anuum, should
this act become a law.
It must be remembered that tho sil
ver bullion la held by a very small cir
cle of bullion kings, and of these, Sen
ators Jones and Sharon of Nevada,
and the well-known bullion firm of
Flood & O'Brien are the chiefs.
They either own outright or
directly control the eutire accumula
ted silver bullion of the Pacific coast,
which is the whole bullion of the
country, and they are tho parties to
be profited by this most appalling
measure. If the bill shall become a
law, the bullion combination of less
than half a score of speculators have
but to deliver their hundreds or thou.
sands of tons of silver to the mint,
and receive it back in legal-tender
dollars, free of cost, worth $2,587.30
per ton more than it is wortli to-day
in the market of the world. Did ever
before so monstrous a fraud upon pub
lic and private credit, and so glaring
and so shameless a speculation of in
dividuals, ask for tho sanction of the
national government ?
We repeat the pertinent question
who are to profit by this most deadly
assault upon the faith of the nation ?
Not the government, for it must coin
the bullion of speculators without
charge, and then accept their debased
coin at a losof 81 percent, inpayment
of debts due the public ire sury. Not
the industry of tho country, for it
must accept as a dollar that which
will buy only 02 cents' worth of the
necessaries of life. Not the merchant ,
manufacturer and business man, for it
must disjoint the mediums of ex
change and breed vexatious confusion
in the daily transactions of trade. In
short, it ctin pay none but the owners
of silver bullion, who have till; on ad
vantage of a widespread desire for un
honest silver dollar, to foist a bastard
dollar upon the people at an enormous
profit to bullion speculators, which
the people must pay. Aud if the evil
ended with the speculation of millions
per annum by a few bullion kings, it
might be tolerable; but. the measure
of tho wrong to the whole country and
to every class of its citizens, cannot be
calculated. Just when our national
credit has been so firmly established
that a four per cent, bond has com
manded favor both at home and
abroad, and when the seeds of repudia
tion which germinatod in the sore
trials of the Republic after a most
exhaustive war, had perished from
our responsible political deliverances,
this new scheme of twin bastard
money aud tainted credit, libels the
integrity of our free government and
threatens to cheat our own people as
the price of clouding the faith of the
country.
If the people want the silver dollar,
let them have it. Let those who re
vere its traditions and who prefer its
convenience enjoy it to their utmost
bent. If they call for fifty millions or
a hundred millions, or millions more,
it can be furnished them with safety
by simply making an honest dollar for
them. If made of the intrinsic value
of a dollar so that it will command a
dollar's worth of the necessaries of life
for the laborer, or of the commodities
which are offered for barter in the
marts of trade, it can be honestly
paid to creditors by individuals and
the nation. If it shall be made less
than an honest dollar it will be a lega
lized fraud upon the people and an iu
ett'uceable stain upon the escutcheon
of the Republic that tho civilized
world must resent witu terrible earn
estuess.

Mr. Lorlllnrd Oder to Match His
Stable Against the Pick of the West.
New York, November 10. Mr.
Pierre Lorillnrd has issued a bold chal
lenge to the west, which will doubtless
be tho meansofcreatingavast amount
of interest In tuft circles. It was an
nounced a short time ago that Mr.
Lorillard had offered to match Parole
against Ten Broeck fora large amount,
but this was premature. In a letter
to the Sportmnan Mr. Lorillard says:
"I have not challenged Ten Broeck,
but I nm willing to run Parole against
him Tor $25,000 a side $10,000 forfeit, at
Saratoga, two and a half miles, west
ern weights, dry track, and I will al
low $5,000 for expenses, if the race is
run. I will also run from my Ran-
cocus stable a two year old at throe
quarters of a mile; a three year old at
a mile and three quarters ; a four year
old at two and a quarter miles, and a
five year old at three miles, against
western horses of same ages, excepting
that I will run my five year old
against a five year old or older horses.
The four races to be run at Jerome
Park or Saratoga, for $2,500 a side each
race, $1,000 forfeit. Horses to be
named at the post. The four races to
be accepted or none. This offer means
that I am willing to run my stable
against the pick of the entire west."
There is no doubt thut such a sweep
ing and liberal challenge will be ac
cepted by the western turfmen, who
could easily make up a combination
against the Lorillard stable, which
would make the season of 1878 a menv
orable one, and bring some great
horses in competition.
