NOYES. -Editor. and permanent Family Circulntior much more than three times as larg: as that of any other paper, morning or evening, fom. As a News and Advertisin; Medium it has no competito: avoid delays, on ac- sence, letters to mot be addressed to any individ connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial ments, according to te! gy In order ¢ Uncle Sam's Spoiled Child. Free coinage advocates have a fashion of personifying silver as an aggrieved mon- arch, deposed in 1873, or thereabouts, to be now restored by his loyal subjects to his royal rights. Silver figures as a person- ality which can be struck down, or mur- dered, against whom treason can be prac- ticed, instead of a mere metal, the inani- mate servant of man, to be used or discard- ed at his pleasure, not so ornamental as gold and not so useful as iron, or copper, or tin. Silver has not been maltreated either as a personality or as a commodity. Under our first coinage ratio silver was the money im actual use under a nominal double standard, but depreciated foreign silver of underweight, being made legal tender, chased our own superior silver coins out of circulation. Consequently Jefferson com- mitted the crime of 1806 and stopped the coinage of silver dollars at our mints. In 1834, when our coinage ratio was changed to make it conform more nearly to the com- mercial ratio, gold became the cheaper money and silver was expelled from circu- lation. In 1873 the silver dollar, for forty years practically out of circulatien, was formally dropped from the coinage. Since 187% the silver dollar has not been “stand- ard money of ultimate redemption” but has profited by immense use in fact. Only 8,000,000 of silver dollars were coined be- fore 1873; over 400,000,000 since. All the sil- ver dollers coined down to 1s and all the minor silver coined down to 18%, when it ceased to be legal tender, amounted to about $83,000,000, and since then we have had $15,000,000 trade dollars, between four and five hundred million of standard dol- lars and over one hundred millions of silver bullion stored in the treasury and repre- sented by Sherman notes; and already in 1s%3 alone we have coined twice as many silver dollars as were coined during the whole period of silver's alleged reign from 1792 to 1 As a@ substitute for the coddling of sil- ver and its extensive use since 1873, it is proposed as an act of justice to restore it to the exile and disuse of the previous period. Prior to 1873 silver-was nominally recognized as of royal blood, but was lock- ed up and starved in the Bastile like the Man in the Iron Mask. Since 18’ ts royal pretentions have been unr2eognized, but it has breathed the free air and has led a comfortable, happy and prosperous life. If silver must be personified it should be not as a deposed monarch, or as prince and heir apparent murdered in the tower, but as the bad boy in Punch who said to his doting grandmother: “Well, granny, I've S you gave me and now if nd over six pence I'll swallow The pampered silver owner says to doting Unc “I have enjoyed the Bland and the Sherman act have lavirhed upon m t give me unlimited, coinage at 16 to 1 I'll stir up section against and class against class and smash d union that you're so fond of!” a Municipal Work by Day's Labor. jounced that the District is en- 4 to complete the Stevens school, left the contractor, because the contract price was $6,000 below the appro- priation. The moral to be drawn from this fact is striking. The default of the ractor was probably due in a large mre to his undertaking to do the work at too low a price. There may have been other contributory causes, but the main trouble, it is apparent, was the success of his attempt to secure the job regardless ctual cost of doing it to the satts- faction of the authorities. He was either a poor figurer or else he contemplated doing cheap work; cheap for him, but doubly dear to the District. This is the first and worst fruit of the contract sys- tem and the best reason for its abandon- ment. The element of competition is in- compatible with good results, especially as ¢ as the law requires the Commissioners pt the lowest bid offered or to re- and presumably to meet the same ons on a second trial. It is as- serted by those opposed to the day's labor plan that under it workmen will not give as much service as under contractors and that in consequence all buildings will cost more in time and money. But this tes- timony ts from an interested source, for as far as can be ascertained the only op- ponents of the proposed system are con- tractors and those dependent upon or friendly to them. The Commissioners, the building inspector, the District auditor and the superintendent of street sweeping are greed that it would be practical and ulti- mate economy to abandon the contract system, and in this they have the support ef nearly all citizens who have given the matter close attention. ee One feature of today’s Star of special in- terest to those who are intently studying the political signs of the times is the two- page review of the congressional campaign based upon information derived from every available source. It includes all the special and exclusive information that The Star has been able to obtain, and reflects as well the best features of the most reliable esti- mates made by campaign managers and other authorities. —— Missourl has succeeded in outdoing both Kentucky and Illinois in campaign rowdy- iem. —_—_++e—___ Mr. Watson’s last act was ts forgive his eremies. ————- + _____ Present a Solid Front. ‘The time {s at hand now when sound money democrats must choose between a hearty or a half-way support of their cause. The sincerity of their desire to see sound money prevail cannot be questioned. The only point at issue relates to whether that may be made certain short of a vote cast directly for McKinley and Hobart. ‘To neglect to support Palmer and Buckner will not be to pass adversely on the In- dianapolis convention. That convention was important if for no other reason than that it emphasized the radical departure from true democratic principles that had been made by the Chicago convention. Its nomination of a presidential ticket, while entirely regular, was not the result of a unanimous demand of the sound money democrats. Many of them had already ¢e- clared for the republican ticket, while others were on the eve of doing so. But there were some who insisted on both a ticket and a platform, and is was to meet the wishes of these men that a ticket was Beminated. But one reason is given by those demo- rats who, while earnestly opposed to Mr. Bryan and his propaganda, yet hesitate to Support directly the candidates of the re- publican party. They consider the question of taxation as of fundamental importance, and differing as they do so radically from the republicans on that question they do not want to cast their votes for the party of high protection. They are anxious to see that party become the instrument for de- feating free coinage at 16 to 1, but they want to remain in a measure free-handed to again oppose that party when the ques- tion of the tariff 1s re-opened. Is not this a short-sighted view of mat- ters? Has not this campaign developed questions of far graver moment than any economic question? Are not the men of substance and patriotism summoned to come together without regard to parties, and to work together for purposes higher than the mere arrangement of tariff schedules? With the Supreme Court under fire, and the right of the general government to preserve order and assert national power again dis- puted, should men. who believe in courts and the integrity of legal processes, and who believe that the United States is a na- tion charged with powers of self-preserva- tion, divide in their opposition to a move- ment thoroughly revolutonary? The Star has but one opinion on this sub- ject. That opinion was expressed early in the action, and it is expressed again now, wth equal sincerity. Believing that the friends of sound money are the reliance of stable government on all good lines, it hopes to see them unite at the polls for the complete overthrow of the altogether dan- serous coalition which Mr. Bryan is lead- Ang. ——__+ ¢ e —____ Election Ret: Washingtonians are con:erned in the out- come of Tresday’s balloting as never be- fore. In addition to the local share of business Icss and depression to result in- evitably from a declaration for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1, there is the paralysis of local prosperity threatened by the proposed repeal of the civil service law. Tuesday’s result will affect not our merchants only, but also, and more directly, the army of depart- mental employes and those dependent upon them, probably one hundred thousand per- sons at least. In view of this great in- terest and of the importance of the issue to Washingtonians, The Star has taken measures to ensure as ferfect a publica- tion of the news of election as possible. For weeks it has given to its readers the best svailable information from the vari- ous centers of interest, and especially the doubtful states. Not a significant move has been made that has not immediately been made known through its news letters or dispatches. The same completeness and thoroughness that have made the cam- paign news of The Star so full and reliabie will characterize the arrangements made for collecting the news of election day. Comprehensive instructions have been sent to the staff and special correspondents of ‘The Star with a view of securing the quick- est and most trustworthy reports from every point. On election day all the space necessary for the mass of matter received will be provided in the regulat edition, and at night extras will be issued whenever the news demands it. Ip,addition, to spe- cial dispatches from-its own correspond- ents The Star will have the benefit of the full service of the Associated Press, min- utely covering every point in the country, and the bulletins of the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph companies, and it has aiso arranged ‘to obtain’ the’ bulletins that are to be sent from all sections by long-distance telephone. These five re- Hable sources will furnish all that can be obtaired in the way of election news. When night falls the news as’ ft comes over the wires will te thrown upon 2 double screen in front of The Star office by means of two high-power stereopticons. It is generally believed that conelustve tid- ings from the doubtful and deciding states will be received before midnight but it may be that the result will not be known for many hours later than that. In any event The Star will give the best and most complete account of the battle and the first news of the result. —_— ¢ = _____ A Degenerate Hawthorne. Julian Hawthorne press agent of the Bryan traveling combination "depreciates with professional bitterness the imagined rival show at Canton, referring to “the little, gilded pinehbeck Major, peeking and piping his complacent platitudes in his Cantor cottage.” Much latitude is doubt- less to be allowed to a spacewriter e ployed oh the strength of this father's literary fame to write up one man and write down another; but the general opin- ion will doubtless be that in this spiteful abuse of Candidate McKinley’s dignified and effective speeches at Canton Hawthorne overdid his duty, even as the most enthusi- astic of the penny-a-line eulogists of the peripatetic silver circus. Hawthorne seemt to be demonstrating that he is too much of a fiction-writer to be successful as a genuine #urnalist, and not enough of a fiction-writer to amount to much as a novelist. His father was a ereai man, who would have scorned to prostitute his genius to the ignoble work of slurring one man and slobbering another for pay. +o Senator Daniel in his Roanoke speech the other night added to a prediction of Bry- an’s election this significant proviso: “But if Mr. Bryan shovld not be elected this time the democratic party will nominate him again and will keep nominating him urtil he is finally clected President.” Is It wise to mortgage the nomination ef the democratic party for the presidency to Mr. Bryan for the remainder of his natural Ife, which, in view of the candidate's youth and health, promises to be a long pericd? Have the other ambitious leaders ef the democratic party assented to the transaction? ——_2seo_—_____——— The demonstrations which have disgraced several assemblages where leading men of various parties were speaking, cannot in any instance be regarded as reflecting the sentiments of the audience as a whole. A very few men can produce an amount of disorder which to the uninformed observer resembles an incipient riot. There is‘no escape from ruffianism of this kind. Its cause is insignificant, but its manife: ticns sre fraught with humiliation to the victin. ————_++s—____ Tom Watson says that in North Caro- lina, he could do nothing more than “re- peat the Commandments, say the Lord’s Prayer and go home.” The helpless hope- lessness of the coalitionist campaign orator who ts reduced to the necessity of quoting the Ten Commandments and the Lord's Prayer in support of a policy which as- saults the Eighth Commandment is vividly pictured in Mr. Watson's suggestive words. ae Li Hung Chang looks to Fraace and Russia to stand between China and the encroachments of other European coun- tries. An alliance of these three nations would come pretty near representing civi- lization in all its stages. 2 —____ The Emperor William is writing a play. It cannot b> anything but a tragedy. If the Emperor had any sense of humor he would long ago have refused to take him- self so seriously. ———— Senator Gorman has not quite made up his mind what he will do with Maryland if it proves so untractable as to give its electoral vote to McKinley. _ SO Oo Chairman Jones refutes with ind‘gnant scorn the insinuation that at this early day he concedes Illinois to McKinley. He is no boy politician. _ SO Oo The youth who fired the dome at Ephesus has a rival in the boy who threw the egg at Chicago. THE WEEK. Partisan bitterness marked the last week of the political campaign. On the arrival | of Mr. Bryan, the democratic presidential candidste, at Chicago, as he passed through the streets from the railway station, sev- eral eggs were thrown at his carriage; two college students were arrested, but the prosecution was dropped. Bourke Cockran, while speaking for sound money at Norfolk, Va., was repeatedly interrupted by political opponents, but succeeded in finishing his address. Generais Palmer and Buckner, the gold standard democratic candidates, were grossly insulted while making a tour through Missouri. Mr. Bryan spent the week in speaking in INinols, addressing over twenty meetings in Chicago, after which he started on his return to Nebraska, speaking in Wisconsin and Iowa on the way. Secretary Carlisle delivered five speeches for sound money in Kentucky, and spoke to large gatherings. Secretary Herbert addressed his fellow citizens in Alabama on the same subject, while Post- master General Wilson expounded the money question in West Virginia. Bets of 3, 4 and 5 to 1 on McKinley's election were made in New York. Chairman Cam- pau of the democratic campaign committee issued a statement comprising the views of state chairmen, and predicting Bryan's success. Robbers terrorized the people liv- ing at the Sac and Fox agency, Oklahoma territory, and secured several thousand dollars’ worth of booty. Legacies aggre- gating $4,000,000 were left to the University of California on condition that the state ap- Propriates $500,000 for new buildings. There was a run on the gold in the San Fran- cisco subtreasury, but all demands were Promptly met. Money reached an extreme of 100 per cent on call in New York. Loan- able funds were scarce, the banks strength- ening themselves to provide for the Novem- ber interest disbursements and for un- usual calls. Fire destroyed two grain ele- vators of the Pacific Company in Chicago, euene, : loss of about $1,000,000. An ex- osion of gas at a-colliery of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company, at Wilkes. barre, caused a number of deaths. The deaths of the week included George Sharpe Duryee, commissioner of banking and in- surance of New Jersey, and Dr. J. B. Mur- doch, a prominent physician and ex-presi- dent of the National Associati = road Surgeons. oe Sae Foreign. An attempt was made in Constantinople to assassinate Mgr. Bartolomeos, the locum tenens of the Armenian patriarchate. The assassins were seized by the Prelate’s es- cert. Li Hung Chang was appointed minister of foreign affairs of China, and was ordered to be punished for presumin lo enter the ruined summer palace whit visiting the dowager empress. Heavy rains caused floods in southern France. A change for the better in the attitude of the Sultan of Turkey and his advisers toward the Ar- menians was reported from Constantinople. ‘Ihe French assembly reassembled and lis- tened to speeches by the presidents of the chamber of deputies and senate glorifying the recent visit of the czar and czarina to France. The proposed currency reform in Russia was postponed. An uprising was re- ported in Sulu Archipelago, a portion of the Spanish colony of the Philippine Islands. The minister of the interior and a native prince were executed in Madagascar for complicity in the recent rebellion. The Mar-: quis of Lansdowne, *Britsh secretary of state for war, in an address at Leeds, Eng-' land, expressed the belief that the Venezue- tan question would soon be dealt with by an arbiter or by amicable compromise. The dis- closure of the existence of an alliance be- tween Germany and Russia during the last year of Prince Bismarck’s chancellorghip, caused a sensation in the capitals of u- rope. Mrs. Julia Borland Higginson, ..wife, of a wealthy Bcston banker, was married in Paris to James Wheatland Smith, with whom she eloped. The French and Russian minsters of war were reported to have ef- fected a plan for the concentration of the troops of the two countries in time of war. The deaths included Cardinal Gustav Adolph von Hohenlohe-Schillingsfurst and, Paul Armond Chellemel-Lacour, the well- known French statesman. ws In the District. “The District Conmuisstoners completed their estimates of District expenditures for the fiscal ye: erding June 30, 1898, aggre- gating $5.41 38. The Engineer Com- missioner consulted with the Board of Tiade committee on railroads in regard to grade crossings, and it was agreed to unite in opposing the B. and O. double viaduct system and in urging Congress to comp the road to enter the city on a single struc. ture. Judge Cox authorized the receiver for the Eckington and Belt street railway companies to issue receiver's certificates to the amount of $3,000, to defray current ex-' penses, ard directed him to advertise, far proposals for the equipment of thi with alr motors.

But Charley always gces ahead talking about it and mixing it all up again.” Wastefulness. “I wish,” said Mr. Stormingtun Barnes, “that people, however much they may be moved to indignation, would not throw "Yes," replied the leading man; “it's a very bad practice. en if the eggs are good to start with, the concussion spoils them for culinary purposes.” Repose.
