Keep Cool About Silver.
Probably the best bit of advice yet
elicited In connection with the currency
discussion is the suBRestlon of a Michi
gan correspondent that "If each one
will now attend strictly to his own busi
ness, practice economy and make tho
most of his opportunities, the desired
Improvement 'will soon be realized."
Full and frank discussion of theories Is
to be deBlrod, but not such a discussion
as shall tend to turn people's thoiishts
away from the need of Individual thrift,
of encourage In any man's mind the
notion that anybody but himself Is re
sponsible. In the last analysis, for his
present temporal condition.
In the enthusiasm of spirited argu
ment we are quite apt to forget that nil
the law-making in the world cannot
create permanent prosperity for the
man u-ho Is not willing to toll for his
own welfare. Even under a (T 'ld basis,
which we should regret to see estab
lished permanently in this country, It
will be possible for the debtor of today
to become the creditor of tomorrow;
hence It will 111 become the one to abuse
the other, or to credit him with meaner
motives than one oneself possesses.
The power of this country of opportuni
ties to adapt itself, In a short time, to al
most any economic condition Is fairly
marvelous; making; It absurd for one
theorist to claim that alone; his line of
advice only can prosperity be obtained.
Discussion should be solely for the pur
pose of eliciting the best of several
theories; and the notion that under any
one of them American civilization
would collapse should be dismissed as
a vagary of extremism and not as the
sober opinion of common sense.
Sensible men everywhere should
deprecate "calamity howling" on which
ever side it may be manifested. Twice
have the American people, within re
cent years, permitted the bogus cry of
calamity ito scare them Into a financial
fever. The next time a man tries to
duplicate these stampedes, ho should be
Incontinently suppressed. The con
servative drift of rational opinion will
decide this silver question, and when
,'that decision Is announced, Mere will
be no panic and no call for the services
of the auctioneer.
The Situation In New York.
Tn connctlon with the administration
of Mayor Strong in New Tork It In well
to keep In mind the fact that It was
begun as a non-partisan administra
tion, and as such Is responsible to no
party save the people. This singlo fact
ought to absolve the mayor from criti
cisms based upon partisan disappoint
ments over the distribution of patron
age. If he had used his office primarily
as a means of furthering the Interests
of any party or faction, he would prob
ably have won the support of the fac
tion or party thus favored by him, but
he would probably have lost the confi
dence of that conservative business ele
ment of the city to whom efficient gov
ernment Is of more consequence than
factional supremacy, and to whom par
ties are merely a means to a public end,
and not the end Itself.
Mayor Strong may have made numer
ous mistakes, but we have yet seen
nothing; In his career which would lead
us to believe that he Is purposely un
mindful of his pre-election pledges to
the people. The break between him
and Mr. Piatt was Inevitable from the
very nature of Mr. Platt'n position in
politics. It Is a well-known fact that
Mr. Piatt has for years been the head
of a Taction In New York Re
publican politics a faction bo adroitly
captained as to wield," at times,
a predominating Influence In Re
publican conventions and legisla
tures, but at no time having behind It
the nioral support of the intelligent
mass of Republican voters. That this
Is true has been shown by the fact that
no distinctively Piatt nomination for
a state office has In recent years beeu
successful at the polls. A fair test of
Mr. Piatt's strength before the people
was afforded In the gubernatorial can
didacy of Hon. J. Sloat Fassett, who
then was one of Mr. Piatt's trusted
lieutenants, Mr. Fassett had the dis
tinct advantage of youth, wealth, po
litical and social .prestige, a charming
personality and an Issue which, three
years later, carried Mayor Strong to
victory by 80,000 plurality; yet Mr. Fas
sett, In 1891, fell exactly 50,000 votes
short of an election. He fell short, in
our opinion, for the single reason that
the voters of New Tork state at that
time lacked confidence In the genuine
ness of a, reform movement backed by,
the machinations of a spoilsman like
Thomas C. Piatt. Nor do we believe
that that lack of confidence has since
subsided. If anything, we believe that
It has been Increased by the- manoea
vers of the Piatt faction In Gotham and
at Albany since last November.
When men like Governor Morton,
Lieutenant Governor Baxton, Chaun
cey M. Depew, ex-Senator Warner Mil
ler, anil even ex-Senator Fassett hlnv
self unite to condemn the obstructive
course pursued by the Piatt following
In the Albany legislature1 toward meas
ures for 'the carrying Into effect of
Mayor Strong's pre-election pledges;
and when leading New Tork newspa
pers like the Tribune, the BufTnlo Ex
prors, the DufTalo News, the Syracuse
Tost and' dozens of Influential Journals
In the smaller Interior cities and towns
pronounce openly against Plattlsm as
a menace to 'the retention by the Re
publican party of the confidence of the
people of the Empire state, we can seo
no reason for doubting that they
know what they are saying. The re
volt against Plutt, as we understand It,
Is not a revolt against the Republican
party, nor a revolt against necessry
party organization; but a revolt against
the perversion of Republicanism to
ends which not only are undesirable In
themselves, but which have, In the
past, uniformly brought on disaster at
the polls.
Mayor Strong, hnving been elected
upon a pledge to reform the municipal
government of New York city along
non-partisan lines, Is entitled to a clear
field and a free hand. The Republican
party owes him this, because It owes
this to the people who elected Mr.
Strong mayor. Should he fall, after a
fair trial, to meet with the people's ap
proval, they can tnke care of him. The
present Interference of any party or
faction with his administration is In
the judgment of many an Impertinence,
which we believe the people who mako
and unmake parties will at the proper
time resent.
Is Civilization a Failure?
Perhaps itha keenest arraignment of
the trailing dress skirt comes from a
Washington phyplclnn, Dr. Wales.
Says he: "The other d.iy I was stand
ing on F street waiting for some
friends. While I stood there a tall,
hollow-chested man, gaunt of cheek
and hectic, came hy. He spat out a
mouthful of consumptive expectoration
on the pavement. The next instant a
lady stepped out of a store and swept
the train of her dress through this
poison on her way to her coupe. That
dreFS, once home, will be dusted, ami
brushed, and shaken, and cleaned; and
a million blcilll, released from the dried
expectoration of that chan consump
tive, will be thrown off. When the
lady, or her, maid, or some other mem-
borof the household, develops consump
tion, somebody may wonder whether
she inherited' It from her father or
her mmther. You may set It down In
advance that she inherited' It from a
dress skirt that was too long."
The doctor might well have said
something in condemnation of another
vicious practice. Just now very common
throughout the United States the
habit of beating dust-laden carpets so
rs to scatter their microbes to the four
winds of heaven. The man who cleans
his carpeti In this way may, for all we
know to the contrary, be simul
taneously committing a homicide
should one of the. disease germs thus
liberated lodge In the system of a
neighbor, Inducing sickness and,
finally, death. While no court would In
dict the carpet-Beater, his offence
would nevertheless become a moral
crime.
Our modern civilization may very
properly be deemed a failure If, after
revealing the sources of disease. It
takes no steps to put these revelations
to practical account.
We are glad to observe that the gold
monometalllsts have at last got hold of
a writer -who can argue. He is Profes
sor Laughlin, of the University of Chi
cago, and the burden of his statistical
argument Is that we have more than
enough gold In the world to serve as a
cash basis for all, the business of tljo
world. This kind of argument Will
come a good deal nearer to convincing
people than calling them bad names.
If Professor Laughlin can get people to
believe that silver Is a needless coin, he
will carry the day. Rut most persons
Btill suspect that gold Is a trifle too
scarce. . " '
That there is a general tendency to-
wnrd a revival of trade Is evident to
the most casual observer. But It Is
safe vo nay that this revival will not
reach lis full proportions until some
provision fhail be made for an increase
In cur ruircncy sufficient to accommo
dae the fxpnr.dlng detnnnds for money.
Any tendency, to yet further contract
this currency will, no doubt, please-the
exporters ct gold and tho bond-bnjipg
syndicates; but how will It rlease the
It does not appear from any public
evidence that Mayor Warwick Is op
posed to the Penrose resolution. Ho
has explicitly denied that he Is taking
any hand In the fight. ; The track Is
clear for a good, wholesome probing.
Why Bhould It not occur?
Sam Jones, after declaring that h
had never read "Trilby," proceeds to
criticise It. Sam Is clearly manocuver
lng for a job as book reviewer on some
of the big dallies.
The rtomewhat numerous: enemies of
Grover Cleveland trust it Is true that he
Is writing a book.
The failure of the Judges' retiring bill
to pass the Benate Is to 'be regretted; the
measure was nothing more than an act
of justice, and should have received
cordial concurrence. But now that It
has failed for this session, friends of
judicial relief may unite to secure the
enactment of the new Superior court
bill, and thus effect a forward step In
the history of the state Judiciary.
The esteemed Philadelphia Record Is
greatly excited at Its discovery that it
would keep tho United States mints
running day and night for ten years
at their utmost capacity to supply
onough Bllver dollars to fill tho vacuum
that would be made by the banishment
of gold from circulation und tho de
preciation of the remaining currency to
tho silver standard." Inasmuch as no
body proposes to banish gold from cir
culation, we must say that our con
temporary's point lacks pertinency.
Tyndall Palmer, the gentleman who
recently proposed to collect several mil
lion dollars' damnges from three or
four hundred American newspapers
which had printed a dispatch reflecting
upon certain business transactions of
his, in lliazll, has just lost the first suit
and has been mulcted In the costs. It
Is possible that this will moderate his
eagerness 'for a vindication.
The Syracuse Post has Introduced a
new feature Into newspaper work by
opening In Its business office a "bureau
of Information" and free parcel storage
room, where Its readers from tho coun
try may obtain statistical knowledge
and also check their bundles. The Idea
Is a shrewd one, and Its execution will
undoubtedly prove a decided public con
venience. Mayor Swift, of Chicago, Is conduct
ing his reform administration upon a
speedy basis. At one clip, the heads of
500 unfit policemen have Just been de
posited In the municipal waste basket.
Mayor Swift evidently believes that tha
province of a reformer Is to reform.
If the proposed Lexowlng of Philadel
phia were a factional scheme. It Is hard
ly likely that the conservative Philadel
phia Ledger would endorse It as It does.
If, however, the Investigation should
hurt any faction, it will probably be be
cause that faction needs hurting.
If tho presidential aspiration for a
third term shall ever come before the
voters for consideration, there will bo
plenty of amusement In the returns.
The difference between Mr. Cleve
lnnd's following and the Republican
party Is that the one Is hostile to silver
and the other Is not.
If President Cleveland shall put Into
his contemplated book a record of his
official mistakes, It will make a large
volume.
The Chicago Democracy Is at last to
have an organ. But where will It get a
paying audience?
It Is not the least of Matthew Stanley
Quay's virtues that he never deserts a
friend.
THE SONG OF THE PRESS.
S. D. Richardson, in the Post-Express.
Did you ever hear the wonderful rhyme
Of the printing press and Its notes sub
lime.
With Its lines on lines of Jeweled thought;
With Its magic bars By genius wrought?
If not, then come on this day of May,
And listen with me to a musical lay
That shnll span with a bow of rythmic
flow
From tho headlands of Now to the Long
Ago.
Listen to the song triumphant of the six
and thirty years;
Hear the chorus grandly sounding as the
crowning day appears;
'Tls a medley pure of anthems that were
never sang before.
And they echo like the chtmlngs from the
bolls on heaven s shore.
Hear the guns from crumbling Sumter in
the far-off Charleston bay;
"Up, arouse, ye Northern freemen, Ood
and country calls today!"
Hear the drumbeats In each vnlloyl hear
the mustering on each hill;
Hear the cheers around Old Glory born by
I'urltanlc will.
Hear the thunder of the battle, sounding
out the awful prlco
That true hearts were bravely giving In
thnt loyal sacrifice.
Hear the mourning of the mothers In their
homes so desolate.
Hear the bells l.n steeples tolling out tho
dirges sad of fate.
But the notos now change to gladness;
hear the shouts of victory.
Hear tho dusky millions praising God for
life and liberty.
Hear tho tread of Peace returning like the
sound of mountain brooks;
Hear the clang of veterans beating swords
and spears to pruning hooks.
Now invention's wand Is waving, bringing
out the quick reply
Of tho magic forces laden In the earth and
In tho sky.
And they weave an ode of wonder that
no mind can understand
Save the One who holds all nature In the
hollow of His hand.
Hear the buglo notes of conquest winding
o'er the stormy seas;
Hear the crowns and scepters clashing,
breaking on each passing breeze.
Hear the tramp of millions moving up tho
royal slopes of Right,
With their banners proud of freedom soon
to deck the topmost height.
Hoar the requiems of sadness sounding
o'er the brave and Just,
Whore Immortal wreaths are falling to
embalm the sacred dust.
Hear the martial bands of music dedicat
ing battle sod
To the memory of martyrs, to the cause
' of Truth and God.
Hear the songs from home and firesides
where affection Is tho king.
Where the raven of contention rover
broods with sable wing.
Hear the bolls of Sabbath ringing out the
faith of humble prayer;
Hear the chant of saint In cloister free
from every worldly caro.
Hear the click of metal music sounding
every note and tone ' '
Of the great world In completeness from
Its central tolephone.
Time and space are nil forgotten In the
spell its key board weaves
Thrashing out a royal harvest from the
- wealth of mental sheaves.
Hall, all hall the' Song triumphant of the
press; In future years
May Its music never falter tho' a host of
wrong appears;
May its medley pure of anthems that Were
never sang before
Be the keynotes to tha nation sounding
Justice evermore.

THE PHILADELPHIA VIEW.
No Innocent Man Nood Fonr a ProMng
of tho City Councils; and If Others
Kcslst It, It Will Bo Boeauso They
Hovo Porsonul Reasons for Wishing to
Ksonpe notootlon.
From the Philadelphia Lodger.
That the most flagrant abuses and
wrongs have been committed by councils
and by some officials of the executive de
partments of the city government since
the Bullitt charter went Into operation Is
too notorious to be denied; from all of
them tho public have been the sufferers
and losers. It hus long been common ru
mor, so often and confidentially doclarcd
as to be generally accepted as true, that
franchises and privileges of enormous pe
cuniary value to the people are bartered or
sold by a combination In city councils;
that councllmcn have voted themselvos
municipal rights and privileges; that thoy
hold contracts with the city, and that the
acts of the majority are so commonly cor
rupt and venal as to render It essential
that an Inquiry regarding them should be
made.
The contention of the opponents of the
resolution that no Investigation should bo
authorized, for the reason that the result
wop.ild seriously affect the Republican
party, affords an additional and powerful
reason for the proposed Inquiry, as It Is a
virtual admission that Investigation would
expose tho corrupt practices of Repub
lican officials. Thnt the Republican party,
or any party, can be hurt by the expos
ure and expulsion of Its corrupt members
Is a gross absurdity, as nothing can so
greatly commend a party to universal re
spect and conlldenco ns the expulsion of
the unworthy, and especially of those who
use the party ns a means to help their own
fortunes at tho cost of tho public.
The assertion that tho proposed Investi
gation emanated from any political fac
tion, or any political bosses or leaders, or
thnt It Is aimed at any particular faction
or persons, Is not In touch with the truth,
which Is that the proposnl emanated
from the Citizens' Municipal association,
a sincere, disinterested and public-spirited
body of men who have no Interests
to serve except the public. The municipal
association is solely responsible for the
proposal which Is embodied In the Penrose
resolution, and having such origin und
such support tho measure should be
passed and an Investigation exhaustively
mode. No Innocent nun need fear ' It.
Thoso who fear detection and exposure of
their olllclal offenses against the public
will oppose It, and, If they can, will Induce
others to oppose It, The status of tho
question Is thut the resolution Is a matter
of public policy and the sequence of a pub
lic demand; opposition to It Is based on
fear of exposure; Is personal, selfish and
In conflict with the Interests of the public.
WANTS A STABLE BASIS.
Engineering and Mining Journal.
What this country needs Is the cheap
money that comes through good credit.
Absolute honesty nnd ability to pny are
the foundations of good credit and low
rates of Interest that is, of cheap money
of the best quality. No other than the
best quality will or ever should satisfy
Americans. We advocate a real bimetal
lism, not merely, nor chiefly, because It
would advance the value of silver, but be
cause universal bimetallism, by making
silver and gold Interchangeable and there
fore both available, would greatly Increase
the fioundatlon for commercial credit,
which constitutes 95 per cont. of the
world's circulating medium, and would
prevent thoso disastrous panics which aro
largely due to the fear of the Insuffi
ciency of that foundation.
An Intelligent universal bimetallism
which would place tho control of tho ratio
between silver and gold In a permnnent
commission or clearing house, would ab
solutely prevent any dnngcr of overpro
duction of either metal, and would per
mit, without danger, loss to Individuals or
derangement of Industry, such changes In
tho character of tho world's money as ex
perience might show to be desirable. It
would do away with those blind and Ignor
ant experiments, In depreciating the
standard or In trying to ascertain whether
the business of the world ran be car
ried on with one metal alone, which have
for many years been turning the business
of the world upside down.
THE PENROSE PROBE.
Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette.
' If In making and administering the laws
for the government of Philadelphia the
public Interests have not been properly
guarded, the facts should be known that a
remedy may be applied. It Is boldly
charged that the most flagrant abuses
have been practiced under the present
charter; that municipal franchises of
great value have been regularly procured
and disposed of by a combination com
posed of councilmen nnd others; that cor
rupt contracts have been made, and that
the majority of councils have become so
venal and rapacious that the public safety
demands their exposure and punishment.
It Is needless to say that If half these
charges be true, the Investigation should
bo promptly ordered and thoroughly con
ducted. It should be made not alone In
the Interest of tho public, but In behalf
of the Republican party and for the honor
of Its good name. It Is so largely respon
sible for the government of that great
city that it Bhould be swift to vindicate
Itself against such foul aspersions, either
by having them disproved, or placing Its
faithless agents within the grasp of the
law. Tho Republican party cannot be
hurt by such a process of purification any
more than can a sound body be Injured by
getting rid of blood-sucking parasites.
