Show four tnunlhs fro:n July i, by act of the lar. Congress providing for the 'recoinagc of the trade dollar bullion bull-ion an J theold and abraded frac ti jnal silver coin on hand, the question ques-tion is not now a practional one. It might just as w;ll have been honest enough to have said "owing to its probable effect in the important campaigns cam-paigns in Ohio, Iowa, New York, and elstwhere it is deamed expedi-inent expedi-inent to defer action npon this matter mat-ter until it is too late for it too injure republican prospects", for that is just the construction that all unpre judiced voteri wi I put upon its cowj ardlyj position. Ediorial Notes. The Federal office holders are nat- r urally mostly in favor of Mr. Harri-son'i Harri-son'i renomination; but what about the republicans who failed to get the I offices? If you wish to remain in uftke Just "jine" the Harrison jnachine. Commissioner of Pension ' Raum could, if he wai o disposed, confirm con-firm the accuracy of this state ment. changing the form of statement Uiatd y the Treasury department will neither fool the people nor put the much needed cash in the 'Irea-" 'Irea-" jury as the administration will find 'out before long.' Secretary Rusk has again started upon its travels the periodcial "ches nut" that France and Germany have decided to remove the fttric-tioni fttric-tioni upen the importation of Ani-.tricin Ani-.tricin dressed pork. In personally launching his Pres-1 Idential boom Senator Cullom has given evidence that he ' thinks his faciad rosemblance to Abraham Lincoln ought to be as good political polit-ical capital as that furnished by being the grandson of a former President. Members of Mr, Harrison's cabi- ne( nave rouna it necessary to uo a good deal of explaining in connection connec-tion with the wrepked Philadelphia banks nd we regret to say that their explanations have not been of as explanatory ex-planatory a nature as one might have desired; hut perhaps we expect too much. The fact that Alab nia, during the last ceniUS year produced more iron that Pennsylvania will not only be news, but it will set people to think ' ing . There has been no falling off jn Pennsylvania's production, but ,J,e development of the resources of Alabama seem to have been some thing extraordinary. , That's a very pretty summer story .which alleges that if Mr. Harrison U called upon to vota a free coinage bill next winter lie will decline to again be a candidate for President, because Ve knows that he would not recieve the vote of those republicans who favor free coinage, but it lacks the elements of plausibility. If Mr Harrison is not the candidate of his party, the only reason will be that J .the Party will not let him. John W. Mackay, one of the Bon-ansa Bon-ansa Kings is said to be interested ja the laying of a cabel between Bra-ail Bra-ail and the United States, and he has employed col. Robert G. Inger- ' soil, who only works for big fees, to secure the support of the administration adminis-tration for a scheme by which it is . hoped to secure a large subsidy from ; the United States for the proposed cable. Mr. Mackty seems to have ' forgotten that the democratic party, which controls the House of Repre- ' peiitatires,' Is opposed to Govern- ' ment subsides of any kind. ' ! Mr. 'Jackay is the reputed owner of :: ' rnany millions of dollars, if he thinks a cable to Brazil would be a good Investment why dceshe not go ahead . and lay it with his own money? k Chaur.cy Depews trial and acquit- tal by a New York Jury for having as a railroad direct or caused the death of several railroad employes by failing to have the cars pr-opcrly equipped for safety seems to have given him a boom for the republican gubernatarial nomination in that State. What a queer lot these republicans re-publicans are anyway. It would, Oj course, have been foolish in thtss - days of purchaseable memo have ex--' pected that Dcpew and his million-aire million-aire associates would be convicted; because he escaped going to prison furnishes no good reason why he should be honored by being nominated nomi-nated for the governorship of a gre at State. The fast that tl e no.nin ation will be but an empty honor does not alter the case. Although the administration had an excellent oj portunity to define its position on the questions of continuing con-tinuing the coinage of the s'andard silver dollar it declined to accept it, " and has climbed and straddled the fence on the question by deciding that, owing to work having been : . provided (or the mints ivr about 1 |
