The Republican party will plant Its banner bravely tn the platform of genuine bimetallism. It docs not need and It cannot afford -to coddle the sophisms of the single gold standard Is ts. The Recent Silver Debate. Our respect for the adroitness of Hon. Charles Emory Smith has been measur ably Increased by the perusal of what is generally called his strong plea for "honest" money, delivered In the hall of the Pennsylvania house of represen tatives last Wednesday night. Mr. Charles Heber Clark, who had, the evening before, spoken la behalf of the restoration of silver to its long-held place as a money metal, had presented figures In proof that the unprecedented fall la values throughout the world, during the past decade, had been due to silver's debasement as a coinage metal, whereby, as silver fell, gold had greatly appreciated, until the longer yardstick naturally measured fewer yards, or the appreciated gold dollar fewer units of value. After noting the fact that by the striking down of silver, which had, until 1ST3, been the almost universal check upon the fluctuation of g'jlJ, the gold unit had grown so valu able that debts, contracted when gold and silver were upon a parity, had, un der the gold standard, multiplied sev eral fold, thus directly multiplying the burdens of the masses since the masses, in the final analysis, pay off all debts Jfr. Clark had declared it to be the duty of the United States to move at once for sliver's rehabilitation, by In ternational agreement if possible, with out It If necessary. The arguments of Mr. Clark were well-massed and . formidable. They could not easily be overthrown In fair attack, because for every statement made he supplied the proof, not only certified to by official statistics but also apparently Identified by many men within the circle of their own experi ence. Therefore, Mr. Smith seems to have decider to encounter not Mr. Clark, hut an Ingeniously fabricated man of straw, labeled silver mono metallism which was doubtless as far from Mr. Clark's purpose as the antip odesand he buffets that convenient dummy figure about with such vigor of rhetoric and Ingenuity of statistical manoeuvering that to the unthinking It appears almost as if Mr. Clark him self were the victim. For example, Mr. Smith says: "Go to a sliver basis, and you will have fifty-cent dollars." But Mr. Clark does not propose to go to a silver basis. Why, then, that assertion? And again: "Adopt unlimited sliver coinage and all 'Europe will dump Its reserve silver upon you, and you will be swamped; chaos and panic will result." But neither Mr. Clark, as we Interpret his address, nor many other senslbla Americans seriously believe that Wo, alone, can sustain the unlimited free coinage of silver. Hence the elaborate argument of Mr. Smith on that supposi tion, while interesting as showing what he can do, is, in real fact, somewhat aside from the Immediate point at Is sue. Although political exigency has ap parently forced Mr. Smith into assum ing a vastly different attitude from that assumed by Mr. Clark, the fact Is that When, In a serious strain, toward the close of his brilliant address iMr. Smith declared . that the restoration of bi metallism throughout the civilized world was absolutely essential to the recovery of depressed values, he planted himself fairly and squarely on Mr. Clark's own platform and at the same time upon the platform , of Senator Pameron, ex-Speaker lteed, Senator Alt llson and dozens of other leading Ke ubllcan statesmen and financiers. Mr. Smith affects to believe, however, that the gold,' standard countries will bu ' ' ' '- ' '.' ' ''. V ' , driven Into an International bimetallic agreement if we" in America Vlll only sit patient for a time and watch the progress of foreign events. Mr. Clark, upon the other hand, pronounces boldly In favor of aggressive action, not first at London or Berlin, but first at Wash ington. He believes that the United States, favored by situation, by variety of resources, by strength of Us form of government and by the clear destiny of Its people to become the leaders of civilization, may not immodestly nor unsafely strike a blow for bimetallism, not in echo of European Initiative, but in advance of dllutory England and tiermuny, by decreeing the free coin ago of tucrlcun silver, protected against the silver of the world by means of a prohibitive tariff. Mr. Smith Bays this aggressive course Is Impossible, that It Is fraught with danger, that we cannot afford to try It. How does ho know? How does any body know when the thing has nevt-r yet been attempted? - - - . The venerable editor of the Troy Times, Hon, John M. Francis, does nut stand on ceremony In fustigating Speaker Hamilton Fish for his betrayal nt Albany of the cause of municipal re form. At the conclusion of a half column of voltaic English Mr. Francis says: "No party can afford to nourish u viper that stings friends and assassi nates principles. Toleration towurd a political viper means death to honorable political existence. Xo law of ethics can condone the acts of un Ingiate." These sentences huve a wider applica tion than to the cuse of Troy. Car FendvM That Fend. Attention Is directed to the communi cation, on another page, to Secretary Atherton from the mayor of Haltinioiv, in reference to the safety car fenders lit use- In that city. That letter, read in connection with the report of the special commi-sslon which tirVt Investi gated the subject for 'that city, would appear to furnish abundant proof that fenders are now manufactured which "will fend." The streets of Haltimore aye not more easily protected than are the streets of Scranton. They have fewer steep grades than our streets have, and therefore are less In need of fenders than our streets ure. It seems reasonable to believe that as satisfac tory results would follow the introduc tion of fenders here as have followed their Introduction In Baltimore. We suggest that Vice-President Clark, of the Scranton Traction company, before deciding that present, types of fenders are not worth their ccst, first pay a visit of Inspection to Baltimore and confer with the Traction officials in that city. This would be no more than reasonable and fair. It has been suggested that inasmuch as the charter of the People's Street Railway company antedated the Incor poration of Scranton as a city, the municipal councils of Scranton would have no legal right to require the cars of the Scranton Traction company, les see of the People's Street railway, to be equipped with fenders. The point Is unworthy of notice. If that princi ple were to prevail, then the Scranton Traction company would be at liberty to disregard any enactment of councils whatever, and the people of this city would, so far as Traotlon affairs con flict with municipal affairs, be deprived of home rule. We doubt if any court would entertain this plea; but, If It should, certainly the court of lilgher resort would not permit It to obtain, to the virtual undoing of a populous municipality. The right of a city through Its councils to govern' the speed of public vehicles and to ordain what reasonable precautions those- vehicles shall take against the sacrifice of lif or limb, is a cardinal principle of Amer ican local government, and we have no fear that it would he cancelled at the request of the Scranton Traotlon com pany, or any other corporation anxious to escape due regulations by coun cils. We Invite the attention of local coun cllmen to the correspondence on an other page; and suggettt that It opens the way to a safe and expeditious solu tion of the problem of street car acci dents In this city. The Boston Standard, the recently established American Protective asso ciation paper, already complains that merchants will not advertise In It, but It nays It will, If necessary, get along Without advertisers. But can It get along without readers? A Few Words of Justice. The Tribune agrees thoroughly with the sentiments expressed elsewhere on this page by Mr. Edward A. Nlven, of Wllkes-Harre, concerning certain phases of the ending of the recent suit of Miss Anna Dickinson. It believes, with Mr. Nlven, that the Intelligent people of Scranton will profoundly re gret the succession -of circumstances which has compelled Miss Susan Dick inson to appear In a -court of Justice to answer before the law for a course of conduct Involving Infinite self-sacrifice, patience and a pplrll of tolerance and affectionate regard to which we think it no more than fair to say few sisters and proliably no brother would have been found adequate. While It would be Improper In u, be fore the case's final conclusion, to say aught concerning the sanity or lack of sanity of the dlfttlngulshed plaintiff, who, in either view, receives, whuther or not she desires, the sympathy of the people, we deom It a duty to expiwa In this public fashion not B)mply the con fidence of an overwhelming majority of intelligent :- Scrantonlanri i In Miss Susan Dickinson, but also theTr "Intensi fied respect for her, and tHelr apprecia tion of, the modest heroism and. loyalty which she has exhibited under these se vere trials. We' think this expression is due to her, notwithstanding that tliu would probably prefer that It should not be made. The general In battle lives In history, where the private Boldler, his peer In fortitude, dies unnoticed. At distant places those who know In Miss Anna Dickinson the magnificent orator and patriot of a quarter of a century ago will not, perhaps, realize the part which her more modest sister has to play in the sad 'drama of today. But we be lieve wo are speaking for all hor neigh bors and friends when we say thait they, at least, do comprehend H; and that, without prejudice to the memory of the Anna Dickinson of which history speaks In eulogy, they appreciate Miss Susan's position and feel confident of her legul vindication. The Wllkes-Harre News-Dealer asks lis the following question: "As to the right of Independent thinking and uc tlou that The Tribune pleads for, why does The Tribune not accord Fellows, the ltepubllcuu who voted ugulnst the caucus nominee of his party, Torrey, the same right that It asks for In the case of the Democratic trailers?" Coun cilman Fellows voted for a man not a candidate ugulnst Mr. Torrey, out of what which we believe to have been motives of personal pique. The two Democratic: members who voted for Mr. Torrey, In our opinion, knew that the otllclul work which Mr. Torrey had per formed during his first term as city solicitor merited a re-election. They were honestiy Independent. Mr. Fel' lows, In our Judgment, was simply vengeful. Does our contemporary com prehend? The Democratic newspapers are now complaining that (Jovernor McKlntey, at Hartford recently, declared In favor of re-openlug the tariff question. Hut they can hardly bo so obtit'iu as to be lieve thut the country wf.uld long sit content under their deficiency-breeding closing of It. Governor McKlnley Is entirely correct In the belief that the Uepubllcaii congress three yeiura hence will! conservatively revise and correct the more glaring Inequalities of the present patch-work tariff. Hut they will not do th.s In such a way us to In vite or precipitate a panic. They are not '.ike their friends, the enemy. Last evening at 8.15 o'clock a car on the Adams avenue line came down be tween Pine and Mulberry at the rate of easily twenty-five miles an hour. Speed like this ought never to be tol erated in a well-governed city. Do councils intend not to act toward its correction? President Cleveland will have only himself to blame should his apparently ungovernable bitterness toward the Massachusetts minister who accused him of drunkenness Induce a suspicion that the dominie touched a sensitive point. JUSTICE WELL APPLIED. E. A. Nlven in the Wllkes-Barre Record. At the conclusion of the long tral in which Anna Dickinson appeared as prose cutor, the famous woman was besieged at her hotel, we are told, by a crowd of enterprising reporters and not a few fe male sympathizers. With all due defer ence to the latter, there are those down this way who know something of the Dick inson family and tho misfortunes that have faced its members within the last decade, who are slightly averse to Indors ing the note said to have been sent to Miss Jjloklnson on Wednesdny afternoon in which It was set forth that "the women of Scranton earnestly hope for her en tire vindication." It Is not belloved that the thoughtful women of Scranton sub scribe to this sentiment because . they know It Involves the arraignment of an other woman, whose marvalous patience, enduring affection and painful sacrifices have fully established her claims to high regard. That woman is Anna's gifted sis ter, Susan. Only thoso close In her confi dence, nnd who have watched her career since her distinguished sinter forsook the lyceum for the stage, are acquainted with the genuinely unselfish and abiding love for the one woman in the whole world who best knew and understood Its sig nificance, Anna Dickinson herself. Anna's vindication would In a certain sense hnvo been a substantiation of her bitter charges against her devoted sister, and an Im measurable Injustice would have been re corded. Surely the women of Scranton who best know Anna Dickinson's sister Siunti, are not willing to Justify a verdict Involving so gross a libel on her fair and honored name. There must be nt least a few women In Scranton who, while natur ally sympathising with Miss Anna and her manifold misfortunes, as all rlglit-thlnk-Ing people do, aro still Husnn Dickinson's friends In all the term Implies. - AN UNFORTUNATE CASE. From the Philadelphia Times, It Is within the memory of Ilia present generation thnt Miss Anna Dickinson wns the most popular, and wus regarded ns one of tho most eloquent of women on thu forum In this or any other country. She was not only (Trent on the lecture platform, but she was equally great on the hus-tlngs, nnrl was one of tho most forceful nnd per--siiaslvo of public speakers. Today slid Is broken nllko In menial n nil physical powers, and her last appearance beforo tho public was ns plaintiff In an uctlon n km I iih t her own sister and several doctors and persnnnl friends, who had generously sought to save her from herself by con fining her In on asylum. The ense was tried last week before Judge Acheson In the Pnlted States court, unci naturally at tracted much attention. Miss, Dickinson appeared upon tho stand several times during her trial, nnd all who have noted liqr testimony und the exhibitions of mental disturbance she has so clearly ex hibited will be amazed to learn that the Jury railed to agree, nnd that eight of thu twelve were In favor of a verdict giving her ilnmnnes against her friends for one of the kindest nets that could hnvo been purformed by friendship. Tlte rnso Is thus postponed until another meeting of tho court, nnd unless she ahull regain a higher stnnilurd of mental health, the whole con troversy will have to be gone over Hguln with the reasonable certainty thut under no clrcumRtunces can she evor obtain a verdict.
