let that trial ro on.
Carlisle's Chicago Speech.
The Bpeoch made by Secretary Cnr
llsle nt Chicago last nlRlit on the cur
rency eiuestlon, the substance of whic h
Is t lsewherc reported, very clearly out
lines the dangers of unlimited (diver
coinage, which would, as he points out,
probably drive out Rold unci leave us
with the BlnKle silver standard. The
great majority of thoughtful Ameri
cans, we take It, do not want n single
standard, either of K'dcl or of silver.
What they want Is bimetallism, or what
Is known (is the automatic double
standard, consisting of i?old and silver
used intercliaiiKeably.
Mr. Carlisle professes to be a believer
In bimetallism when It can be estab
lished by international nit-reemi'nt.
Vntil that time, he wants Bold to be
the standard and silver made a token
money, like paper. As between a pa
per dollar standing for gold and o
silver dollnr standltiR lor Rold, he would
jiny SO cents for the silver dollarVhen
he could (jet a good paper dollar, re
deemable In Rold, ut the cost of n frac
tion of a cent. Tt strikes us that this
Is poor economy. If we bellevetd In a
gold single standard, we would favor
paper rather than silver token money,
sinc e it would be n. great deal cheaper
nnd also more convenient. Then sliver
could go to the level of zinc or copper,
and wo could pin our whole financial
salvation to told nloue, of which there
Is nhout $2,(100.0110,000 In the world and
nbcut JfiOO.Oon.OUO AI r. Carlisle says
$IH.-,000,000- In the United States.
The Tribune agrees with the Demo
cratic secretary of the treasury that
the free and unlimited coinage by the
United States of the silver of the world,
at the ratio of 15'i or 16 to 1 would,
na sliver Is now rated, prove hazardous,
(in the other hand, It does not. despair
of being able to take care of the silver
produced In this country without refer
ence to other nations. Hence It would
put a prohibitive tariff on foreign sil
ver nnd coin our own product, less tho
amount used In the arts, on a parity
with gold, nnd the prohibitive tariff
would maintain that parity. This home
sliver output Is now JU3,00fl,00O a year,
all of which nt present irocs Into the
arts or Is exported. Even If an improb
able estimate it should reach $100,000,
000 a year under the stimulus of home
coinage, not. more than half of that
could get to the mints, and the like
lihood Is that not more than 40 per
cent would. Our natural growth In
population and the business revival
which this safe expansion of our cur
rency would bring, would absorb 40,
OOO.otu standard dollars a year, very
nicely.
Then, If the other nations wanted to
join In anil make It international, so
much the better.
All but nine of the 111 annual confer
ences In the Methodist church have
voted on the question of admitting wo
men lay delegates to the general con
ference. The vpte stands in round num
bers 7,000 for to 2,000 against suc h ad
mission. It Is In order for some one
to propose three cheers for the women
of Methodism.
To the Philadelphia Press.
We beg to acknowledge the follow
ing comment by the esteemed Philadel
phia Press: "The Scranton Tribune
is the one reputable and thoroughly
Republican newspaper of tho state, so
far as we have seen, that advocates
Adoption by the coming state conven
' ton of an out and nut free sliver
declaration. It Roes the whole ex
travagant length in this matter. Hut
It confesses the hopelessness 'of its
cause, and believes the convention will
take the. other course.";", .;'('.'
The Press doubtless without Inten
tion misstates the position of this pa
per. It has never advocated on "out
and out free silver declaration" at Har
lUburg; or anywhere else; It has said,
very plainly, that ths present political
$
var on silver is a war on one of the
nvist valuable of our natural resoutces,
nn l that If persisted In to the point of
K id monometallism will be the means
of doing more harm than can readily
be estimated. It has advocated the
placing of a prohibitive tariff on all
fi nlfiii silver, with free coinage for
the American product, less the per
centage of that product diverted to the
arts. It btlleves that this can be done
with entire safety, and that the doing
of It would be an act of justice to Vhe
people, by afforJin them a:i expanding
cutitncy where today we. have a
steadily contracting currency damas
r.g to all native productive interests.
It believes, too, thut the repeal of the
Sherman purchase act has not btougut
tl.e relief that was promised nt the
t'tne of that repeal under the whip and
spur of this bond-selling, debt -creating-l:cmocratic
administration. If this be
"an extravagant length." w.' have
gone it. Hut In going that length we
submit that we have not been more
es iravagant than the Press has been
In tinning its back on the bimetallism
p'unk ndopted in 1S92 at Minneapolis,
nn ! in declaring, Insistently und per
sisteMly, for the single, appreciating
gold standard.
Liberty uf opinion und frank expres
sion of that opinion In economic delate
are not inconsistent with true Re
publicanism; and The Tribune expects
to remain u "reputable and thoroughly
Republican newspaper" even though It
lui'.i an occasional honest difference
from Its distinguished and amiable
Phllr.delphlu contemporary
It Is decidedly unfair to Major Mc
Klnley to have sume of his conspicuous
newspaper champions come out every
illlV III' two w Ith double-leailed reitera
tions of his soundings on the financial
ciucstlon. Of course, William Mckin
ley Is for a sound currency. No Re
publican of any prominence favors
anything else. The only point ut Issue
Is as to how that soundness shall be
expressed In legislation.
The University of the United
States."
For many years. In fact ever since
Washington's time, It has been the wish
of many lending educators nnd public!
men that the United Stntes might es
tablish and maintain, at some central
point, now Invariably coincident with
the federal capital, an Institution of
higher learning which shall not com
pete with but rather supplement the
various colle-ges unci universities al
reudy established In the land. A bill
to this effect has at lost been favor
ably reported to the sennte, and Its
provisions are. worthy of careful atten
tion. It provides that the proposed "Uni
versity of the United States" shall be
of post-graduate rank, with authority
to establish co-operative relations with
other Institutions of education and
learning, In this or In other countries,
nnd with power to confer degrees upon
such persons' only as have previously
received the degree of bachelor of arts
or its equivalent, or who have re
ceived certificates of graduation from
some state educational institution. No
applicant for admission fulfilling these
requirements shall be excluded and
neither sectarian nor purtisan Instruc
tion shall be imparted. The goveis
mi'nt of the institution is vested in a
board of regents and a university coun
cil, the former to be composed of the
president of the United States, who
shall be president of the board; the
chief justice of the United States, the
commissioner of education, the secre
tary of the Smithsonian Institution, the
president of the National Academy of
Science, the president of the National
Educational association, and the presi
dent of the University, and nine other
citizens of the United States, no two
of whom shall be citizens of the same
state, to be appointed by the president
by und with the consent of the senate;
and the latter to consist of the board
of regents and twelve other citizens
of the United States, to be appointed
by the board of regents from eminent
educators connected with institutions
of learning in the United States. The
board of regents are to be supreme in
financial matters. For the organiza
tion, preliminary work, and support of
the university nn appropriation of $l.r,
oop is made? for the fiscal year ending
Juno SO, 1S9S. No permanent endow
ment Is contemplated at this time, leav
ing (o congress In the future to pro
vide for thu institution by direct appro
priation or by setting aside a portion
of the proceeds of the sale of public
lands or otherwise.
The committee report accompanying
this measure points out that the Insti
tution ptoposed is designed to take a
place In educational work now unfitted
In the western hemisphere, a place for
advanced study with fucilltles intended
In time to be equal to those of any for
eign university. After pointing out
that each year between 2,000 and 3,000
American students go abroad tor post
graduate study because there are no
equal facilities for such study at home,
the report concludes:
Such an institution would powerfully
contribute to the improvement of tha
whole series of schools of the country,
from the kindergarten to the university.
It would correlate, broaden, elevate und
strengthen the entire circle of the so
called professions, not only furnishing
but Indirectly elsewhere compelling better
preparation for professional studies, with
higher standards of professional attain
ment, and hence broader and more thor
ough courses of instruction. It would
prove a most Important means of sup
plying to a multitude of Industrial occu
pations the sclentinc principles requisite
to their 'highest success, thus dignifying
labor und buililinic up many new profes
sions. It would enlarge the Held of hu
man knowledge by means of the original
researches und Investigations of Its mem
bers, while at the same time Inductlrig
students of genius into the art of Inves
tigation, thus helping mankind to an ear
lier mastery over the hidden forces of
nature. Such on Institution would prove
a powerful defender, us well us discoverer
und teacher of truth. Among Its mem
bers there would alwuys be moral heroes
us superior to the menaces of power as to
the Insidious arts of the most, skillful und
corrupt devotees of fulse gods men nolo
to unmask error and hold to stand for
tho right ut all hazards. The sacreitncps of
truth, freedom of thought, nnd freedom
of speech will be the Inscription upon its
portals. The proposed university Is also
a patriotic necessity. It would secure to
us as a great people the Independence we
need In things Intellectual, it would
strengthen our. love of country, und sn
prove a new and powerful nufcguurd of
free Institutions. It would gather to Its
seat not only persons of genius and of
lofty aspirations from all portions of the
Union, but from all parts of the civil
ized world, thus at once stopping the pres
ent exodus to foreign Institutions for fldi
vantages we do not here furnish, and turn:
ins- the tide of superior learning to our
own shore. It would help the United
Slates la a commanding influence as a
btnetteent power among the-aations; to
a practical leadership In the march of
civilixation.
These may sound like immoderate
words, but if we accept the belief that
the safety of free government rests up
on popular education they gain . Irre
sistible force. Certainly no other place
In the worid Is better fitted to be the
site of such a university than is the cap
ital city of the foremost republic, with
Its increasing treasures of learning
and its multiplying facilities of schol
arly research In practically every sub
division of human knowledge. Maybe
the location in Washington of such a
fountain of broad scholarship would
have a purifying influence on American
IHilitlcs nt the focus of national politi
cal activity. At allevents it would
prove in other ways an Inestimable
public benetlt.
..
Senator Cameron Is quoted as having
said recently at Washington: "I am
going to be the next president of the
United States. I will not be elected as
a Republican, nor as a Democrat; 1
will be nominated and elected as a sti
ver advocate, and a protectionist of f
moderation. My administration will
not be- partisan, but will be one of
Individuality. My cabinet will not be
geographical, but national. It will not
be selected because of former political
alllllatlons, but bwnuse of the charac
ter nnd individuality of the men to be
chosen. U.Will be the administration
which will mark the beginning of a
new political era In this country." If
the sage of Lochlel said that, he was
probably joking. Silver or no silver,
the next president will b. a Republi
can. .
The respectable newspaper press of
the country owes to the Chicago Tlmes
llerald and to Its energetic editor and
proprietor, u debt of gratitude for the
demonstration which thai Journal has
given to the country that newspupers
may be clean and pure and wholesome
without ne'cessarlly bring dull. The
Times-Herald, daily and Sunday, Is a
mine of decent Information put in at
tractive form, and no one can read it
without feeling in some ways repaid
for the trouble and in no way the worse
for the contact. We mention this cir
cumstance at this time because the Chi
cago Tlnies-Hcrald is so different from
the sensational press of Gotham, par
ticularly the New Work World.
(in Wednesday and Thursday of next
week a national conference will be held
In Washington to promote internation
al arbitration. . About the same time
President Cleveland will sign a bill ap
propriating $11,000,000 for new war
ships.
HOLMES' LATEST.
i
As a rule, Jests about manslaughter are
not In the best of taste, but in the case of
the facile confessor and munument.il liui,
ilerman 11. Holmes, this rule stinis
waived. He clearly is u romancer who
delights to shock people solely for the no
toriety It brings him, and upon whom con
siderate treatment would be waited. The
Pittsburg Times gets off this amusing bit
of burlesque on Holmes, which puts his
gory pretensions to the right kind of 1 Mi
mic: Philadelphia, April 13. The accomplish
ed murderer and humorist, Ha Ha
Holmes, mude a full confesjon yesterday.
It was mado in the presence of his press
agent and his b:ilness mdnnger, both of
whom vouched for its authenticity. This
is not Mr. Holmes' first authentic con
fession, und his manager was grieved to
say would not guarantee thai it thull be
his last. Mr. Holmes wo: reluctant to do
literary work on the Sabbath, and only
yielded out of ! mmthy for th relatives
of his late vletlms, forty-seven of whom,
he said, are now living In the Greater
Pi'tshi:.-. ilfe ii;io stipulated that the
iloci'inc.'.t thould be duted on .Xiondav, to
that its (tiitncntlclty could not be ques
tioned In court.
Mr. Holmes' latest autobiography Is the
result of more mature deliberation. It Is
better In its literary style, and tho inci
dents are arranged to give a better effect.
He suld substantially: "I am the orlgnal
man with the marble heart. I also used
the glad hand, but found It effective only
in female cases, and, as I found more
Improved methods of seducing thei to
their fate, 1 abandoned It after complet
ing my series of Whitcchupel murders,
Whntever credit Is due me, I owe only to
my mother. She tlrst taught mt the taste
for paregoric, under the influence of which
drug I committed most of my assassina
tions and dbl till my canvassing for II fo
Insurance, it supplemented a lack of
nerve which might otherwise have proven
fatal to my career. 1 am now insane.
This I do not reckon as one of my own
unaided accomplishments, it is due main
ly to the fact thut my rascally jailers have
refused to furnish my wonted dram. They
say the drug Is not for sule in Philadel
phia, us there is no need or demand for
it."
Mr. Holmes did not give the names of
his victims In this confession, as he bus
mislaid his typewritten list, and does
not wish to contradict his former confes
sions. "My memory," said he, "hus gone
with my Intellect. It does not signify,
as 1 never Inquired the name of the mini
or woman whose throat I was about to
silt." Mr. Holmes Is certain, however,
thut he, and none other, killed Cock Rob
In. His Kngllsh experience, he said, was
limited. Outside of the Whltechapel mur
ders he hud but one victim, Charles I.,
whom he beheaded. He suld that It was
he who had aided "Paddy" McOraw to
escape, and that he had nailed on thu 111
which covered "Shoebox" Miller. A pre
vious engagement, he said, rendered it
impossible for him to be present at Cain's
murder of Abel, a fact for which he ex
pressed considerable repentence. He said
that he alone could reveal the hiding placo
of "BUI" fritz, and that he was the real J
mvemor oi me uauing gun unci inc. diuu
lic.ttan cocktail.
Mr. Holmes referred with scorn to the
imitators who have sprung up In the
shadow of his great success. He said that
he will udci more details from time to
time, us he can think up names for his
victims, and he had requested to be fur
nished with directories of all the princi
ple! cities of the country, so that this de
partment of his business may be made
easier. He has made a record of his
murders by marking his chest with char
coal, one mnrk for each ten victims, but
the bath which he was obliged to take on
entering prison has destroyed his ac
counts, so thnt even the number Is now In
doubt. He Is now writing a three-act play.'
M'KimVS LICK.
Wellman, In Pittsburg News.
There Js such a thing as luck In this
world. If any one doubts this, let him
tnk the case Of William McKlnley, Jr.,
of Canton. O.. I wns talking about Mr.
McKlnley's etuse recently with one of the
veteran members of the house, and his re
marks were rather Interesting. It Is well
to bear In nilnd that he Is a great ad
mirer of thctOhlo statesman ami to miike
some allowances for his enthusiasm, but
his talk Is worth reading Just the sum'.'.
"McKlnley Hi perhnps the luckiest man
In America, "isald he. "Here he is on the
highway to t'ie white house and no one
able to stop Mm, But just stop and think
of the thing! thut have contributed to
his success. 1" he had beaten Tom Heed
for speaker ate years ago some one else
would huve bctn chairman of the commit
tee on ways a) id means and would huve
had his namcj associated with tho tariff
act of 1890. if might have been Reed or
Hurrows or Jef Cannon or Dnve Hender
son. It could t,ot have been McKlnley. I
remember whin Reed won tho speaker
ship McKlnle was sore. He thought his
career had ricelved a decided backset,
but he didn't lnow his luck.
"Another -lti'ky t'lilng was that the
country did ntt take kindly to the Mc
Klnley law wfen It first appeard. They
turned thai oouhtry over to the Democrats
In 1890, and alaln In 1892, nnd McKlnley
was uenouncea rrotn one enu or tne land
to the other, w men thought he could
recover from fiat blow, but 1 know that
the rafts ef- Mr. McKleUy him sett nover
wavered. He never for a moment lost
confidence In the ultimate triumph of hl
Idea and he aim-ays had a notion that
when the Idea came to the front again
he mould be sure to come with ft. It waa
lucky for McKlnley again that the Demo
crats managed to squeeze out a majority
in the senate, and thus obtained full pos
session of the government. This enabled
them to pass the Wilson-Gorman law at
a time when the country was entering
upon a period of hard times. Some think
the hard times would have come anyway
through natural causes. Others think the
Wilson-Gorman law brought them on.
This Is a matter of opinion, and we don't
need to discuss It. The great fact Is thut
the hard times and the Democratic, tar
iff law came together. The Democrats
had to take the responsibility. If they
had failed to pass their luw and you re
member how close they came to failing
It would have been bad for McKlnley.
Rut they squeezed their law through by
a scratch, and Cleveland came mlgh'y
near vetoing it. but didn't, nnd thus Mc
Kinley was relieved of all responsibility.
The people had been prosperous under
the McKlnley law, while under the new
tariff they had panic and hard times.
What more natural than that they should
demand McKinleyism again? And did you
ever see such a series of luck?
"Nor Is this all. It was the most fortu
nate thing In the world that McKlnley
was retired from the house after the
Kifty-llrst congress. As governor of
Ohio he was out or the way of all the
storms. He could make neither enemies
nor mistakes. He wus off to one side,
and the power of the Idea did all the rest.
Mad ne been returned to congress there
Is no telling what blunders he might have
made or what accidents might have be
fallen him. All this makes tin a chanter
of good fortune that rarely comes to a
public man. und the hand of f ale, appears
to be In it."
