i
An American Silver Policy.
Mr. Cleveland has Issued nnothrr
proclamation In behalf of "sound
money," and In this document, as In
former ones, he unfortunately omits to
explain what he means by that phrase.
"We protest that It Is unworthy of tho
president of the United States thus to
obscure tho popular understanding on
this vital subject. It he will Issue an
explicit definition of his meaning, the
public may then fairly decide whether
or not It will agree with him; but, today,
the anomalous spectacle is presented of
three dlfferfrnt economic armies one
pledged to gold monometallirm. one to
bimetallism end one to the free, un
limited and Independent colnagi? of sil
vereach parading under banners de
claring with the president in favor of
"sound money." The CleveUnd Ph'Jb
boleth does service In each camp. Now,
for which camp did he Int"nd it?
Fortunately, Mr. Cleveland's comp
troller of the currency, Janio.T H. Kck'jlj,
like the secretary of agriculture, Mr.
"Morton, Is not so much given to speak
ing in delphlc generalities. In his re
cent speech nt Detroit, he comes out
flat-footed for a Blngle gold standard;
and for the non-coinage of any more
silver until the nations of the world
shall have made up their minds to re
store silver to Its old-time parity with
gold, which they would probably never
do while we refused to coin Filver our
selves. The meaning of this course Is
clear. It would retain our present sil
Tor coinage amounting to some $000,
000,000 Just as It would retain tho
treasury notes, purely as a fiat money
supplementary to gold. This silver
would, In truth, be -worth, In market
value, DO cents on the dollar, because
Its qualities, aa a primary money equal
to gold would toe removed without hope
of future restoration. Then, when this
debased silver should be retired, as It
would soon be, in consequence of its
anomalous standing before t'he law, Mr.
Eckels would patch out our limited
stock of primary gold money by the
issue of state bank notes, worth perhaps
a cent on the dollar. This In the Kckels
notion of a "sound currency;" and In
behalf of such a currency as this, for
the most'part, a flat currency, pure and
simple, having only a small quantlty'of
appreciating gold behind it for purpose.-!
of redemption, and retaining this gold
only so long as the Gotham gold-exporters
-would refrain from shipping It
to London he -would literally destroy
the American sliver Industry, In which
American capital once found proflta)ble
investment and American labor re
munerative employment. Free trade
could do no worse a died.
If Mr. Eckels kind of money Is the
kind "which President Cleveland calls
"sound money," it Is a safe guess that
the American people will have none of
it. We do not, on the other hand, be
lieve that they would care to try the
risky experiment of the unlimited free
coinage of silver; for the reason that
while this might work to their advant
age, If given a fair chance, tho senti
ment against It Is too strong at this
time to allow it euch a chance. Cut
why should we not try tho experiment
of coining the silver produced in
American mines, at a ratio, sty, of 20
to 1, protecting the same from foreign
competition by a high tariff, just as we
protect other American Industries
which are threatened 'by the low prjees
of free trade Europe? It Is argued by
some that . foreign security-holders
would get scared If we should do this.
A sufficient reply should be that to have
foreign money-lenders scared without
due reason would be preferable to hav
ing home business men ruined and homo
Industry paralyzed by the Inevitable
contraction of our currency which
would follow the permanent establish
ment of gold monometallism.
Wo suspect that It is time for pro
tection (Republicans to quit training
with the free trade, gold standard wing
of the Democratic party, and to get into
line with ithelr party platform for an
American, policy of genuine bimetall
ism. " " ".
Why? ,;
The important Information Is vouch
safed toy Walter Wellman in a letter
from Washington to the Chicago Times
Herald that "President Cleveland and
Secretary Gresham are firm and en
thusiastic believers In the Monroe doc
trine, and at the first moment they be
lieve that doctrine to have been violated
they will act. in a manner fully satis
factory to the most enthusiastic friends
of American Institutions."
This recalls the old couplet:
'Torhaps you did well to dlasomble your
love,
nut why did you kick mu down etulis?"
Time to Clean Up.
Dr. Allen was Justified tho other eve
nlng In calling the nttentlon of the
board of health to tho unsanitary condi
tion of numerous vacant lota within
the city's limits, and the board very
properly decided to request the chief of
police to bring the offenders to book.
The practice In vogue of dumping nil
kinds of refuse material upon r.uch lots
Is one to lie resolutely repressed. Much
of this rffune should go to tho crema
tory. The remainder, before beini;
used for "Illling-in" purposes, should
be thoroughly disinfected, under proper
supervision; and afterward covered
with cufilclent soil to prevent the spread
of obnoxious odors.
Those who have had occasion re
cently to visit the bnse bail park will
re call the pungent smell which urines
from one of these offal dum'ii situated
aljn.TsIde the road Just wert of the
river. It Is not possible to believe that
such a iirr.ell can lie conducive to hee.Ith.
Yet almoin an aere of disease-breeding
material here lies uncovered to every
wind the, blows, r.nd enrts continually
add to the quantity. There could be no
objection to this method of disposing
of wa?te material were the material
properly disinfected and then burled.
I'.lit idmply to dump It in a heap where
every wind and rain may carry Its
pestilential germs to unknown dis
tance on minions of evil is like ab
surdly trifling with diinrrer.
V.'e mention tills particular plague
spot becr.ure just now It Is generally
known and condemned. There are,
however, dozens of other places fully
pestilential; and now la the proper
time for the municipal authorities to
take action In the premires. Mean
while, thos? householders who augment
the vacant-lot. evil by maintaining
biick-yrrrd nurseries of disease and fu
nerals enn do no bettor service for
thrmrelves and for the public than to
injtiniti a thorough clo.aninir-up. It
Is Impussl ole for the police to do every
thing. Let every citizen consider that
ho has been appointed a special sani
tary committee of one, for the purpose
of putting things into proper condition.
The city's pood health should be a con
cern of every resident of Seiranton.
That Philadelphia Investigation.
A lnr.ro number of the foremost citl
r.ens of Philadelphia, feeling that tho
public Interests were not receiving
proper attention from the municipal
councils of thut city: and, also, that,
under the Bullitt charter, no effective
Inquiry into suspect"d dereliction could
be accomplished by local initiative,
have petitioned the Pennsylvania sen
ate to appoint a committee to investi
gate the workings of that charter. Tho
request Is not parallel to that which
called tho famous Lexow committee
Into existence, for the reason that it
contemplates merely such nn Inquiry
Into the workings of tho Dullltt charter
as will enable the legislature to decide
whether a revision of that charter will
be necessary. It does not stnrt with
the assumption that the municipal gov
ernment of Philadelphia Is honey
combed with fraud and rottenness; nor
Is it likely that it would end with such
nn assumption verified. Therefore, the
warning cry of certain Philadelphia In
fluences against such an inquiry, as
expressed last week In councils, may, It
would seem, be fairly disregarded.
It would bo bettor from every point
of view if the people of Philadelphia
could muster up the courage and the
strength to do their own Investigating;
but the virtual confession of a consid
erable number of them that they can
not do this brings a manifest duty to
the door of the state senate. The charge
has beer publicly proclaimed that cer
tain branches of the city gavernment of
Philadelphia are utterly unsatisfactory.
This charge Is brought by eminent Po
publlcansnnd eminent Democrats alike.
It Is non-nnrtlsiiii. and it Is generally
believed. Under such circumstances vo
do not see how the Republican party
can well afford to deny it. by refusing
the reqiurt for an Inquiry, preferred
by the people most Interested. If It
ehould transpire that the suplcions of
these persons were groundless, no harm
would be done. If It rhnuld prove that
they weru founded on fact, the Republi
can party would get the credit for do
ing its duty toward the public; Just ns
It would be condemned If it should
shirk that duty.
The current notion that Senator Pen
rose's resolution is a piece of factional
warfare does Injury to the opposite fac
tion by presupposing that it would
suffer from a senatorial Inquiry. Thfl
point at Issue, however, irises far above
personalities. It rises to the plane of
public duty. If the people of Philadel
phia nrn being misgoverned, It ought
not to make, any difference which party
or faction, Is In control-, the evils of that
mlsgovernment ought to be eradicated,
and the Republican party ought to be
glad to be tho means of that erad)caJ
tlon. Parties exist fni' the welfare of
the public; tho public does not exist
solely for tho welfare of parties or fac
tions of parties. As we have raid, It
would be better, very much better, If
Phlladelphlnns themselves could do
their own Investigating; but if they are
unable to do this and the consensus of
opinion seems to be that they are un
ablethen the . sooner the senate at
Ilarrisburg comes to their rescue,, the
better for the future Interests of the
Republican party, both In Philadelphia
and throughout the state.
' In view of all .the circumstances, the
Penrose resolution should pass.
The contention of Rev. j. C. Hogan
that he has (been discriminated against
because of his advocacy of prohibition
views would have more force If it wers
proved that all ministers in the Wyom
ing oonferenoo who hold similar vlows
had teen similarly treated. It Is sua
pected by many that tho trouble with
Mr. Hogan is not what he thinks, but
th.u offensive and uncharitable manner
In which he often speaks and writes
concerning those who differ from him
In opinion. Zeal without discretion;
earnestness without charity and empha
sis without common sense become, not
virtues, but drawbacks. A minister
who finds It necessary to use abusive
Kinguugu toward persons who do not
vote ns ha votes shows by that 'fact that
ho I H'k: somo the essential requisites
of his Icii'ty position.
Ftfcretnry Atherton, of the board of
trade, Is in receipt of a letter from the
commissioners of Washington, V. C,
with a copy of resolutions passed by
them under date of January 31, which
mak"s It obligatory upon ull street rail
way companion Jif thut city to place n
certain style of safety "pick up" fend
ers on all cars operated by them, on
or before April 1, 1S9S, under a penalty
of Sli'i per day for each car not so
equipped nHer that date. If Ualtimore.
nufTnlo, Wanhlngton and other large
cities require fenders to be used, why
not Seranton?
The opening of the Biiperbly-equlpped
Moses Taylor .Hospital to the public nt
th actual cost of the service rendered
Is a fortunate forward step by the In
stitution's management. Now if some
liberal citizen should wish to provide
a fund endowing a number of these
public beds, thus freeing them to the
public absolutely, would it conflict with
tho terms of the original endowment?
The present waste of space In this hos
pital Is deplored by all. Could It not
thus be overcome without violence to
the will of the rcenerous founder?
ncnernl Kerwln, Mr. Piatt's repre
sentative on the Gotham police board
refuses to comply with Mayor Strong's
request that he resign. He bases his
refusal largely upon the ground that
since Mayor Strong was "elected as a
Republican by Republican votes" both
of which premises nre untrue it Is the
mayor's duty to retain such Republi
cans in office as .Mr. Plntt dictates. The
fact will ono of these days dawn upon
even General Kerwln's mind that
Thoma3 C. Piatt does not constitute a
majority In the Republican party.
The Washington correspondents are
in the field with cabinet deals for 1S37.
One story, printed yesterday, repre
sented Governor McKlnley as offering
ono cabinet portfolio and all the New
York patronage to Thomas C. Piatt In
exchange for the support, next summer,
of the New York delegation. It does
not require a large experience in poli
tics to convince any Intelligent news
paper reader that this story Is utterly
absurd.
Mr. Cleveland's letter to Governor
Stone, of Missouri, on the sliver ques
tion, contains the threat that he will
dismiss all federal officials who do not
shout and work for his particular
scheme of "honest money." But inas
much as nobody yet knows authorita
tively Just what his august highness
particular scheme Is, it Is probable that
few heads will fall.
It. Is announced that Theodore Roose
velt 'has senatorial ambitions. As a
senator from New York he would be a
decided improvement over the Hon. Ed
ward Murphy, Jr., of the brewing firm
of (Murphy & Co., Troy.
A specific explanation by Mr. Cleve
land of his own Idea of "sound money"
would clear the murky political atmo
sphere like a lightning flash. But
fhimderous generalities only augment
the prevalent perplexity.
It Is exceedingly unfortunate that the
present legislature cannot see Its way
clear to the Institution of the first
stages of road reform. The longer this
matter 13 delayed, the more It will cost.
The party which wanted, with Grover
Cloveland's Consent, to restore the
''wildcat" state bank currency of tho
past Is a poor party to pose as the pres
ent champion of "sound money."
Thin administration might recoup its
vanished revenues by a CO per cent, ex
port tax; on title-wedding American
hBiresses; and little would be the popu
lar complaint thereat.

Tllli NEW WOMAN.
O, tho Twentieth Century Girl!
What u wonderful thing she will be!
She'll evolve from a mystic whirl
A women unfettered and free;
No corset to ernmpen her waist,
No crimps to encumber her brain;
Unafraid, bifurcate, unlaced,
Llko a goddess of old she will reign I
She'll wenr bloomers, a mntter of course;
She will vote, not a question of doubt;
She will r'de like a man on & horse;
At the club late nt night she'll stay out;
If she chances to love, she'll propose;
To blush will be quite out of dato;
She'll discuss politics with hr beaux
And out talk her masculine mate! i
Rho'll be up In the science of things;
She will smoke cigarettes; eh will
. - swoar,
If the servant a dunning note brings.
Or tho Btenk Isn't served up with care.
No longer she'll powder hor nose
Orcultlvnte even a curl.
Nor bother with fashion or clothes,
This Twentieth Century Girl.
Her voice will be heard In the landf
She'll dabble In matters of state;
In council her word will command.
And her whisper the laws reMilnto.
She will stand 'neath her banner unfurled,
Inscribed with her principles new;
But tho question la what in the world
Tha New Century Baby will do?

Spoclal to tho Seranton Tribune
Harrlsburg, Way 5. The congressional
apportionment bill agreed upon by tlw
house committee divides the state Into
thirty districts, an Increase of two. One
of these is given to Philadelphia and the
other to Allegheny county. Tholr Increase
in population Blnee tho apportionment of
1HS7 entitle them to one connressman each,
licsldes, neither of these counties has been
given n member of congress-at-large, the
four gentlemen elected to this ollleo In
consequence of no re-apportionment be
ing niuilo having been residents of Mer
cer. Carbon, Susquehanna and Westmore
land. In tho last congress the Republic
ans hud 18 district congressmen and 2 fit
large, or 20 In all, and tho Democrats 10.
The Pennsylvania delegation In the Firty
rourth congress will stBiul: Republicans,
2S; Hemocrata, 2. Philadelphia will have
six districts liiidur tho new apportionment.
Flvo of theso nre surely Republican; the
other In probably Democratic. The First
dintrlet will lie composed of the First,
Twenty-sixth, Twenty-seventh, Thirtieth
and Thirty-sixth wards; tho Second of the
Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth. Sev
enth, Klirhth. Ninth and Tenth wards;
the Third district of thu Eleventh,
Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth Fif
teenth and Twenty-ninth wards; the
Fourth district of the Sixteenth, Seven
teenth, Klgliteenth, Twentieth, Thlrty-aco-ond.
Thirty-third ami Thirty-Beventh
wards: tho Fifth district of the Nine
teenth, Twenty-third, Twenty-fifth, Thlr-ty-llrst
and Thirty-fifth wards; the Sixth
district of the Twenty-llrst, Twenty-Bec-ond,
Twenty-fourth, Twenty-eighth and
Thirty-fourth wards.
l.ncknwnnna Mndo the Twelfth.
Tho Seventh district, Chester and Dola
ware, gave over 5,000 Republican majority
In 1892, nnd nearly 11,000 last full. The
Eighth, Montgomery and llerks, has hith
erto been debatable. In 182 Wangnr, Re
publican, hud W) majority. Last fall he
had 4.S20. The Ninth, Northampton, Mon
roe, Carbon and Pike, bus alwayB been
strongly Democratic. The Tenth, Berks
and Lehluh, Is known as the "Democratic
Gibraltar." It gave Erdnian lO.STiS two
years ago, but he only got 1,!M8 In 181)4.
Lancaster county forms the Eleventh dis
trict. The Republican majority runs from
,im to 12,00a.
The Twelfth district Is Lackawanna. It
Is now securely Republican. Lusterne, tho
Thirteenth, Is also regarded as permanent
ly anchored In theUepublleancolumn. Tho
Fourteenth dintrlet Is Schuylkill; Rellly,
Democrat, represented It two consecutive
terms, having J.iMl majority In 1892. Last
year ex-Congressman Bmmm, Repub
lican, defeated him by 2,229 votes. The
three anthracite districts have heretofore
been doubtful. Tho Republicans now
clnim them bb safe.
The Fifteenth district. Dauphin, Perry
and Lebanon; tho Sixteenth, Bradford,
Siisquchannn, Wayno and Wyoming, and
the Seventeenth, Tioga, Pottor, Lycoming
and Clinton, tiro surely Republican. The
Eighteenth, Northumberland, Columbia,
Montour nnd Sulllvon, gave 5,303 Demo
cratic majority In 1802. Slnfferly carried it
Inst fnil by 04 votes, but Kulp. Repub
lican, had 894 majority over ex-Senntor
Buckalow. The district Is now regarded
as doubtful. The Nineteenth, Hunting
don. Mllilln, Juniata, Snyder, Union,
Franklin and Fulton, Is solidly Repub
lican. The Democrats have always car
ried the Twentieth, York, Cumberland and
Adams, until last November, when Stahle,
Republican, turned tho Democratic ma
jority of 1892 Into a Republican majority
of 2,384. Hastings only carried It by 47
votes.
Tho Allegheny Districts.
The Twenty-first, Cambria, P.lalr, Som
erset and Bedford, and the Twenty-second,
Westmoreland, Armstrong, Joffer
Bon and Indiana, are Republican beyond
doubt. Allogheny is divided Into the
Twenty-third, Twenty-fourth and Twenty
fifth districts, all Republican. Fayetto,
Washington and Greene compose the
Twenty-sixth district, a portion of Alio
gheny county having been detached from
them. In 1S92 Cleveland carried the three
counties by 1,287 votes. Last fall Hast
ings carried them by 3,899. The Twenty
seventh district. Beaver, Lawrence, Mer
cer and Butler, Is Republican; the Twenty
eighth, Crnwford and Erie, brought Sib
ley to tho front by sending him to con
gress In 1892, but retrieved' Itself by giv
ing 2.404 majority against him Inst fall.
Seott, Democrat, also carried It twice.
The Twenty-seventh district is changed,
the counties of Clarion and Forest having
been taken by thn committee from tho old
Twenty-eighth nnd attached to It. The
district Is Republican, Clnrlon being the
only Democratic county. As Forest will
offset It, the district will give about tho
same majority that Venango, Warren, Me
Keen nnd Cameron, the old dlBtrlct, al
ways rolled up. The Thirtieth district Is
composed of Elk, Clearfield and Clinton,
tho remains of tho old Twenty-eighth, In
1K92, these, with Clarion nnd Forest, gave
a Democratic majority of 4,001. Last fall
the same counties elected Arnold. Repub
lican, by 1,797, Elk, Cloarneld and Cen
ter aro naturally Democratic, although
Hastings enme within 74 votea last foil of
carrying Elk snd won out In Clearfield and
Center by 1,027 and 821. respectively.
Tho Republicans certainly have 20 of the
30 districts. Of tho other ten districts the
Republicans have equal chance with the
Democrats in at least five.

MEET IT SQUARELY.
rlttsburg Commerclal-Gaiette.
The best advice that we can give to the
Republican leaders of tho state Is that
they should meet tho Issue raised by the
Penrose resolution fairly and squarely.
The Inquiry la based on tho demand of a
very considerable number of highly reput
able and Influential citizens of Philadel
phia that the operations of the Bullitt
charter shall be carefully Inquired Into.
No specific charges are made against any
department of tho city government, but
expenditures have been largely Increased
since the present charter went Into opera
tion, and It Is dslrable to know' whether
the people ore getting corresponding bene
fits, or whether the charter might not be
Improved In this and In other respects.
If there In really nothing wrong either
with the city government or with tho op
erations of the Bullitt charter, It Is all-important
that tho people should be thor
oughly satisfied on those points. No pob
sible harm can come to the party, either
as regards Philadelphia or the state at
large, from an Investigation that will vin
dicate the municipal government of the
chief city of the state against even the
suspicion of extravagance or corruption,
A legislative committee Is the only
agency by which the work can be satis
factorily accorhpllBhed. The city council
has not the power to get atthe testlrriony,
and If It hod It would not use It for obvious
reasons. Every consideration prompts to
the conclusion that the resolutions should
be poBKcd and the Issue squarely and
frankly mat. Suppose the committee shall
refuse to report or the senate to adopt the
resolutions, what Inference would be
drawn from such action? Would tt not
be tantamount to a confession that thora
was somothlnc rotten something unsav
ory which those oppesinc an Investigation
are Interested In keeping under cover?
There la greater danger of Injury to tho
party as a romilt of defeating the Inquiry
than by ordering It.
