Asa local NEWS paper and Ad- vertiaing Medium it has ne competiter. Seeretary J. Sterling Morton is in the habit of talking in a firm, common-sense way about public matters. In the interview with him exclusively in Tux Stan yesterday, gets right at the meat of the money ques- tion in polities. His manner of discussing the question is earnest and direct. His statements ‘xe vearefally considered and vigorously ex- «pressed. He sees the danger to the public in- terest which comes from the cowardice and demagogy of men who fear to attack falla- cies and political heresies which have gained a temporary popularity, and he discusses the money question with fearlessness and frankness for the farmer and the financier alike. When ‘the political agitators, whom he refers toas “disgraced demagogues who have been dis- ebarged from the old parties,” first started the wanderings of wild ideas among the discontented farmers of the west Morton was almost the only prominent Gemocratic leader in the disaffected regions wko stood out boldly and combated the false doctrines which were being so readily adopted by those about him. He has been in the thick of the fight from the start,and has watched the populist movement through the various stages of its progress, and his statement that the party is disintegrating is of great interest and must be encouraging to the champions of wound money and conservative politics. He is member of President Cleveland's “oficial family” and he was an earnest advocate of Mr. Cleveland's nomination, because Cleveland stood most prominently among the democratic chiefs as ovposed to the heresies which threat- ened to disrupt the party. He undoubtedly speaks the mind of every member of the Cleveland administration when he says that the nomination and election of Mr. Cleveland .tommitted the democratic party to the coa- demnation of laws placing artificial prices upon commodities, whether of wool or metal, tin or silver, and to the declaration that the govern- ment should not be forced to bea buyer or a free coiner of silver, and that sound financial polities should be inforced, with a relatively standard of value. This fs the idea of what the triumph of the Cleve- wing of the democratic party means. Secretary Morton puts the silver question down as» business proposition and in a way to appeal to the tillers of the soil when he presents these facts: “The Granite Mountain Mining Company Fefined silver in the year. 1987, oF ‘according to its report to Sectetary o! ‘Treasury, to the amount of nearly 3,000,000 of ounces at a cost for refined silver of 12 cents an ounce, The whole output cost that year in all 800. at 4124 grains to the dollar it | make over $3,000.000 of legal tender for 93,000,000 bushels of wheat. the labor of which is more than $300,000. That is, under law, #56.800 of mine and forced to an equality with 200 of farm labor cost. By law this free will, when it represents only Inbor in Montana, be made ex- $3,000,000 farm ‘Isbor in Ne- —_—__ + +e —__ are making history in Germany today the sun goes down the voters in the one hundred and seventy-five districts will have decided for or the Emperor's army bill. Both the government and the socialists havo been ex- tremely active*and both bave found friends ‘where they least expected them, so anything like a rational forecast of the result is impos- sible. Riebter, the radical leader, has been ‘working incessantly in behalf of the socialist nominees, while the scientist Virchow, usually fm close accord with Richter, toiled day and night to bring the socialist schemes to naught. Tn the clerical party there is similar division shite it 2 3 & 2 He declared loudly against any intimacy with socialism. But while these failures to agree are rending the opposition asunder no estimate has ives the and although the chances of the army bill may have improved it cannot be stated that its pas- sage is even probable. The result must either be another dissolution of the Keichstag or a compromise such as was framed by Huene. ‘Those who know the emperor—and he has given the world several clear glimpses at his char- acter—ere satisfied that he will not accept any kind of @ compromise so long as a fighting chance remains. Lieblmecht, the socialist | leader, is inclined to belief in a compromise bat inaists that the passaze even of an amended Dill will only render present conditions moze intolerable and bring many recruits to the #0- cialist party. If that reasoning be correct then Liebknecht blunderea in doing more than per- fanetorily opposing the measure; its harsher terms would have brought him more followers than will result from a mild compromise. Viewed from any standpoint the struggle is in- : ° alone eh ie While Banker R. F. Builer of Idaho was ad- ‘Yooating free silver in the congress of bankers at Chiesgo Banker Robert S. Brown of Idaho was being shot by Mike Leitch because Brown's silver was not as freeas Leitch thought it should be. +2 —___ The autocratic reign of Kilgore is almost @nded, the Holman dynasty is crumbiing to dust, the Crispian empire totters to its fall, for eut of the east—with the undimmed morning en s8 his bulo—comes one before whom mere men must meekly bow, whose magnificent phy- Sique will hypnotize, whose weaith of muscle Commands respect—a giant in these days of pigmies. Angered beyond words at the des- Spotic and frequently-exercised pedal powers of the Texan antocrat and vexed because its intellect has been overshadowed by tho force- fully rude uad uncouthly ilogical methods of the southwest, Massachusotts sends to the next Congress a representative who will combine in his personality the highest grade of physical development and mental ability m such quan- tity 2s will make his streng’h the more danger- ous, Michael Joseph McEtirick of Boston is the Bay State's champion, and to him the in- timidated weakling, of Massachusetts look for Protectionand leadersnip. With the emergency the man appeers. and although this particular man was born in Roxbury as long ago as 1846 he was undoubtedly created for the express purpose of subduing those who have for years been engaged in bullying the national legislature. It ix quite possible that the public generally would have known nothing as to the purpose of Boston in electing Michael Joseph McEttrick bad there not been published « special edition of the Congressional Directory— document in whieh each cabinet officer and member of Congress is privileged to say what he pleases of himself. Uninformed people might bave imagined that Mr. McEttrick’s duties were purely legisiative, but the auto- biographical sketch is a lithe, sinewy, touch- me-if-you-dare contribution to ordinarily un- {interesting congressional literature; that carries on each shoulder a chip and yells a challenge through every word. Listen to Michael Joseph MeEttrick’s d: fiance, modestly written in the third person: “His symmetrical and splendid physique is partially due to his taste in ath- letics, which Le developed in early life; by the time he bad reached his majority he had won national reputation for powers of strength, setivity and endurance and # record for wrest Lag, lewping and pedestrianian which for « long time remained unbroken. He won the long- distance pedestrian championship of America in 1869, and during his long athletic career never met with s defeat.” There is evidence of a love of fair play in every line of the foregoing testi- mony. It would have been easy for Boston to “ring” Mr. McEttrick in, as it were, but the city of sluggers, scorning base methods, flaunts the record of its chosen one before the quailing, blinking Congressional optic and invites to combst. With this autobiographical warning in print several weeks before the session begins the gentlemanly pugilist from Wills Point, Texas, may not console himself after the encounter with the idea that he “didn't know it was loaded.” Mr. McEttrick is evidently a tene sportsman, who would not under any circumstances shoot « sitting bird; | the spirit he displays should be appre- q@iated and commended. That strife must come in certain. Some venturesome or careless wight will tread on the tail of Mr. MeEttrick’s cent and then the country will stand on tiptoe and bold its breath until the dust settles and the coroner certifies to the canse of death. Who will be first among the victims may not now be prophesied: perhaps the classic and constitu tional Bailey, the satirical Allen, the economical Dockery, the agilo Springer, or even the patri- archal Holman himself, but that a victim will be found seems sure. And when peace suc- ceeds conflict and the privilege of the floor is unanimously awarded Mr. McEttrick the world will gaze admiringly on the legislative Sullivan and, with his consent of course, will shout “Massachusetts, there she stands!’ — From several good citizens who are really not unreasonable in very many respects comes @ demand for a quiet Fourth of July. for a day of patriotic celebration in which the torpedo and the firecracker and the toy pistol and the cannon hall have no part, a national anniver- sary from which the American small boy is excluded. It may be that a century or two hence the love of gunpowder and of the day on which it is so liberally exploded will not be as | p, prominent as it now is, but for the present there will be great uproar. That the rackot is annoying to many is evident, but the only Femedy open to those who dislike it is tem- porary migration to some secluded spot where the youth and the punk and the cracker are not. Of course, it would be possible to arrest every one who disturbed the peace of the Dis- trict, but the doing of it would call for the combined efforts of the police, a posse comi- tatus several thousand strong, the National Guard and the troops at Fort Myer and the Washington Barracks; for popular sentiment would be with the lawbreakers. An overwhelm- ing majority of the American people favor the loudest possible celebration of the birth of the Declaration of Independence, and in that mat- ter the appeal of the minority for recognition of its rights is drowned by gigantic waves of sound. ———_~+6.___— While theories are rife as to the cause or causes which brought about the destruction of the British battle ship Victoria and the loss of four hundred and fifty hves, no authentic in- formation is as yet available. Itwasa horrible, heartrending catastrophe, that desolated many a previously happy home. The pain is more keen because the sacrifice was unnecessary. Had the nearly five hundred lives been laid on the nation’s altar, had gone out in support of a great principle or a patriotic belief, there would be something like compensation for their dissolution, but when it is remembered that the monster warship went down because somebody was careless or mechanism was faulty the calamity has frightful proportions. Itis stated that for fifteen minutes after the Camperdown’s ram penetrated the Victoria's armor the doomed ship floated, and now every one is asking why in all that time only some two hundred and fifty of the officers and crew es- eaped. Is all effort on a man-of-war bent toward the destruction of life and none toward its salvation in certain emergencies? Naval constructors agree that there is no armor that will afford protection against the ram, and with that fact established it would seem to be well to make boat drill one of the most prominent features of work on board all warships, Esra arabe Among the more prominent of the topics now under discussion in the public press none are quite so interesting as the South Carolina liquor-selling experiment—a carefully shaped proposition that commences to operate on Sat- urday next. Up to this time the law has made but few staunch friends, althongh there are many who will stand by it if in practice it works as well as the theory would indicate it should. Failing to discover any inherent weak- ness in the measure some of the critics intimate that the selling of liquor is an undignified oeeu- pation for a sovereign state to engage in. Surely this cannot be so. The state is merely an aggregation of individuals, and if it is proper and respectable and legal for individuals to veil intoxicants there cannot possibly be any impropriety in sale by the state. — soe Nova Scotia owes Mrs, Alexander Cameron something more than liberty and an apology. Six months ago Mrs. Cameron was arrested, charged with the poisoning of her husband. She has been in prison ever since, while the po- lice wore endeavoring to manufacture a rope of evidence that would be long enough to hang their victim. A day or two ago the Halifax grand jary investigated for itself and failing to find even the smallest ecrap of incriminating testimony returned 2 finding of “No bill.” Mrs. Cameron was therefore “honorably dis charged.” But Nova Scotia has been dis- graced. +o The discovery of natural beds of ice in Vir- ginia may possibly account for some of the coolness which seems to circulate between the administration and several prominent Virginia democrats. ——_+++____ The introduction of electricity as a means of ¢anal boat propulsion would bring before the S.

THE WEEK. What with murders and snicides and train robberies and fires, with considerable atmos- pherio disturbance thrown in, the past few days have, in the United States, been reasonably ex~ Citing, but there has been s remarkable paucity of great events. Chen Ole Lum, China's spe- cial ambassador to the United States, has ar- rived; came just in time to be met by the offi- cial announcement that of the 110,000 Chinese im the United States only 18,179 have registered as required by the Geary law. Some of the government's employes on Puget Sound who regarded not their oaths were favorably in- clined toward the incoming of Celestials and of opium, and for this partiality, only recently discovered, have been discharged.

Kansas and Missouri both suffered heavily from cyclonic disturbances of more ‘than average power.

IN THE DISTRICT. ‘The most conspicuous local feature of the week was the weather, which, if not the hottest ever known was quite hot enough to satisfy the most exacting. The jury in the Ford’s Theater dis aster brought in a verdict holding Col. Ains- worth, Engineer Sasse, Superintendent Covert and Contractor Dant’ criminally ble. ‘The court of inquiry ordered by the War De- partment to investigate Col. Ainsworth’s con- nection with the disaster was dissolved pending the action of the civil courts. The writ of mandamus asked for by Mr. Pulaski to secure his reinstatement as substitute letter carrier was denied by the court. The public schools of the city closed for the year.
