Brother SltiRerly is a bunker.
The Turning Point.
Major Haruly advises the public to
watch the Illinois Republican conven
tion thiH week. "If It (lends on inln
structecl delegation to St. Louis, It will
mean that McKinley, while still In the
lead, will have to Hunt tu. tile bitter end
for the nomination. If Illinois Instructs
for McKinley, It will mean Ills nomina
tion at St. Louis on the first ballot, and
ii'ihnis by acclamation. The fltfht will
be practically won."
This Is to all appearances a correct
fslimnte of that convention's Impor
tance. If Illinois should ro for McKin
ley It certainly looks as If that would
settle the whole discussion. Kor then,
the only solid ground remaining to the
r.ppusltion would be lown, part of Penn
sylvania, part of New York and part of
New KiiKlHtid. Tim carry I nj; of Illinois
by McKinley would be the signal for a
general disintegration of "the field."
Delegatus now listed in the "nntl" col
umn would quickly seek shelter. The
magic of success would Inspire new con
fidence and nothing short of a miracle
could prevent the Ohio man's nomina
tion on at least the second if not tho
llrst ballot at St. Louis.
Hepotts cimccrnitift the probabilities
at Spiinglleld are conllicting. Ruth the
McKinley and CulUim forces claim to be
able to ligure otit, a majority. The lie
Kinleyites. in round numbers, fall 100
Instructed delegates short of having a
pledged plurality. They InRist that
they have control of a sulllclont number
of uninstructed delegates to give them
the organization of the convention, but
the Cullom men deny this, Inasmuch
as the Cullom fight was against Instruc
tions, It would seem upon the surface as
If the number of Instructed delegates
measured the limit of the McKinley
strength, but the point at Issue has as
sumed such Importance that the Mc
Kinley managers may be holding some
thing back. They are good politicians
and nothing will be spared to make the
buttle a memorable one.
i It Is our belief that the Illinois con
vention will be captured by the Cullom
men, but the contest is too close to
warrant serious predictions.
Arbitration with England Is all right;
but the ability to enforce the verdict
when In our favor Is a desirable con
comitant. What Next ?
If we In this country are to be kept
permanently on the gold standard, with
no particular coinage :of silver ex-
, -l'. in luc iciiiuic tun hlllKliey Ul UI1
International agreement, save only the
small present activity of the mints In
coining subsidiary Bllver; and If, added
to this, the circulation of currency
among tho people, now $162,000,000 less
than It was two years ago, Is to be In
the near future still further abridged
by the retirement of the $300,000,000
worth of present outstanding green
backs, according to the programme of
Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle and the
various banking associations, the ques
tion must sooner or later be answered
how the people in the sparsely settled
south, southwest and west, the people
where bank books are few and the
check system of doing business there
fore little in vogue, are to be accom
modated with money sufficient to de
velop their resources, move their crops
and pay off their farm mortgages. It
does not stand to reason thut a major
ity of tho voters of this country will be
content to try to fit a growing popula
tion to a stationary or, rather, a con
tracting currency one moment longer
than is absolutely necessury. The free
Ih'er coinage scare may seem to make
uch an anomalous experiment neces
sary Just at this time, but with that
scare once removed there will mani
festly soon need to be an energetic
overhauling of our currency system
with a view to securing In It greater
elasticity and a safer foundation. The
defeat of the silver extremists Is only
half tho battle. It removes on dan
ger, but In doing so It calls Into re
newed prominence ;;another danger,
that will demand for Its removal some
thing more practical in the way of
statesmanship than a parrot-ltke repe
tition of tho misnomer, "sound money."
It Is useless to call our present money
sound so long as It takes' five dollars'
.wvria vfc Bwveruiuvni ueut to Keep una
dollar's worth of gold from being bailed
out of the United States treasury for
speculatl-ve export to foreign countries.
That durtns the second Cleveland ad
ministration this republic has been
forced to incur. In principal and Inter
est,' over $500,000,000 of Indebtedness In
order to sustain the $100,000,000 gold re
serve upon which the credit of the
Jl.S-'S.OOO.OOO of our currency rests Is a
fact too well known to the American
people to rettuiie reiteration. Nor can
a currency lie considered sound which
olfeis no assurance that its total vol
ume may not at any moment become,
by reason of the hoarding of gold,
added to the unprovided for growth In
population, entirely inauVaunte to the
demands of business. In the year l!-'93
It Is estimated that the total of t'.ie
money sums involved In the business
transactions In the t'nited States ex
ceeded $10,000,000,0(10; in other words,
that every dollar of money in circula
tion in that year had ilutitif? the year
to discharge from $10 to S30 worth of
Indebtedness, not by cheek means bu
by the actual passage from band to
hand of coin or paper money. The year
1XB.1 was a bad business year; collec
tions were notoriously poor mid profits
fell to a minimum in m arly nil lines of
enterprise. Is it unreasonable to sup
pose that hud the money supply of the
people of the L'nited States in that .year
been larger than it was, collections
would have been easier, profits more
satisfactory and the opportunities of
employment at remunerative wages
more numerous?
T1V tide having apparently turned
in favor of the gold standard and
against the coinage of silver, even of
protected American silver. It will be In
order for our great llnancierH to give
their attention to the obvious need of
the times for an ampler currency. If
there be not gold enough, let them rig
up a supplementary currency of paper,
so secured as to command throughout
the world Us face value. Let them
prove that by sound money they do
not mean scarce money, but money nil
equate in quantity to the growing de
mands of the foremost producing na
tion In the world. If they can establish
this fact, bimetallists will doubtless
stand ready and unxlous to welcome
the single standard.
The discovery that the Xewarkpas
tor who lately raised a "Stop, thief!"
cry against Rev. Dr. Morgan, of New
York, Is himself a plagiarist does not
surprise us. The stone throwers of
our day are not more apt to be devoid
of sin than were those whom Christ re
buked. The Raines Law at Work.
Reports from New York state with
reference to the Raines law, which has
now been In operation for nearly a
month, Indicate thut a change is taking
place in the public temper with refer
ence to this niueh-dlscussed measure,
liefore It went into effect there were
few persons!!! the Kmplrestate who did
not have avowed or secret misgivings
that It would prove a serious disap
pointment, While the brewers and dis
tillers were, for a time almost frantic.
They argued that In the whole state 60,
000 persons would be thrown out of
work by the law, to compete with other
labor, and predicted that $100,000,000 a
year would not cover the shrinkage In
liquor receipts, with its consequent cur
tailment of the market for corn, lice,
barley nnd hops. They nfl'ected to
foresee, also, a loss to the cigar trade of
?:io,(mo,ooo a year, fnllintr mostly upon
tlie labor employed In stripping tobacco
nnd wrapping cigars; nnd tried to
frighten the furniture dealers of the
state by holding before them the spectre
of lost millions of dollars in the furni
ture trade, by reason of the law's clos
ing of many saloons.
Hut as we said at the beginning, there
are already evidences of a fluctuation
of opinion. When Mr. J. A. Lansing,
of this city, last week made a business
tour of the leading New York Interior
cities, BUch as Utica, Albany, Troy,
Syracuse and Rochester, he learned by
casunl Inquiry that the law was work
ing decidedly less hardship than had
been anticipated, and found that it was
winning over to Its advocacy many of
Its bterest early opponents. We by
chance observe an Interview In the
Washington Post with Judge C. W.
Meade, of New York city, which con
firms the accuracy of Mr. Lansing's ob
servations. Says Judge Meade: "In
the beginning It looked as though the
Raines law was going to be so distaste
ful to the public that the Republican
party would be made to suffer for Its
enactment. Since then there has been
a great change of public sentiment; the
people are beginning to realize the many
ood points of the law, and I am
satisfied that the Republicans will reap
benefit from U Instead of disaster.
It Is about as good a statute as the
ingenuity of man could contrive; It
wipes out the little dives, where
the poorer classes of the tenements loaf
and squander their earnings; It puts
the business of selling spirits on tho
best possible pUfne by putting it In the
hands of responsible men; it does away
with the corruption and blackmail of
the old regime, for now no saloonkeep
er feels under the necessity of 'giving
up' to the police, and It treats all men
with absolute impartiality. The $S00
tax once paid is all thut the dealer has
o pay; as It used to be while his license
did not amount to that sum, by the time
the owner was bled by those who could
extort money, it really cost him much
more than the present tax. About the
only dtssatlslled people left are the ones
who furnished the saloons with freo
lunches. Their business Is Aurt by the
abolition -of the free lunch counter, but
the suloon men themselves are highly
r leased that the Institution Is defunct.
They not only save money, but are able
to keep their places In a far cleanlier
condition."
A perusal of exchanges from nearly
all of the principal towns and cities of
the Kmplre state does not reveal to us
an yet any serious losses to labor by
reason of the weeding out of the low
down Toggeries and dives. It is pos
sible t.iat throughout the state a few
hundred barkeepers have been dis
placed, but there are no signs up to this
writing that the corn, rice or barley
crop will lack purchasers or that cigar
makers or workers In 'furniture facto
ries will be cast adrift In sufficient
numbers to disturb the equilibrium of
the Industrial world. On the contrary,
trade lost by the closing of the bar
roooii teems to be pretty generally re
gained by the better patronizing on the
part of former frequenters of these sa
loons'of the grocery, clothing and fur
niture stores. If the Raines law has
made any difference In these respects,
it appears simply to have transferred
business from the grog shops to the
shops that sell more substantial and
wholesome wares. To this extent it
must ther.fore b3 pronounced a met ess.
U it is true that Frank Willing Leach
is now threatening to turn Inform r
and wash dirty political linen In public,
that simply confirms the wisdom of
net permitting him to tain the state,
chairmanship.
Time for Action.
The Immigration Restriction league,
whluh advocates tho keeping out the
United States of all immigrants whoce
character and standards unlit them to
become good citizens, and .which sug
gests as an important means to this end
the exclusion of all persons between 14
and tio yearu of age who cannot both
reud and write the Knglish language
or r.ome other language, has In a cur
rent publication called timvly attention
to tlie large. recent lnilux at the port
of New York of Italian Immigrants' who
re;ve.-ent a very laiT.e percentage of Il
literacy. From figured furnished to the league
by the usslsiant commissioner of Immi
gration, it appears that of the C2,.ViTi im
migrants who landed at Ellis Island be
tween Jan. 1 and April .10. 1S05, 11.S96 or
1'2.6 per cent, were Italians; while of the
tW.2!)0 Immigrants landed between Jan.
1 and April IT, ISM, 19,040. or SO per cent,
were Italians, .10 per cent, of whom
were Illiterates. As tending to show
the percentage of illiteracy among
Italian immigrants us a class, the fol
lowing figures from manifests oi 3,171
immigrants over II years of age arriv
ing tit the port of New York during
April are given: Total Immigrants ex
amined, 3.174; percentage of mules, 812;
percent age of females. 10.X; total Illiter
ates, 2.147: per cent, of total Immigrants
who were Illiterate, 67.6; percentage of
male illiteracy, 66.5; percentage of fe
male Illiteracy, 7.".7; number debarred
under existing laws, 1H7; percentage de
barred of total Immigrants, 6.2; num
ber which would have been debarred
by the league's bill requiring literacy,
2,147, or a percentage of 67.C.
The present congress is still consider
ing the Lodge bill establishing the liter
acy test. It should soon act.
Twenty-three Republican state con
ventions out of twenty-eight have, thus
far this year, declared against the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. It Is
probable that less than one-fifteenth of
the delegates at St. Louis will be for
unrestricted free coinage.
The Philadelphia Times complains
that the commonwealth's revenues
were not ns large In 1S95 as they were
under Pattlson. It seems to forget
that loss of revenue Is a natural conse
quence of Democratic national admin
istration. .
It will be noticed that Senator Cam
eron says he has retired from politics
"for a time." The idea thut he Is in
retirement permanently will be dis
missed by those who are shrewd.
Kx-Governor Russell's reluctance to
head the Democratic national ticket
this year probably means that he pre
fers to chance it eomc other year.

Washington' April 14. 1 know no more

ruddy, and he Is as conscientiously and la
