A PROMINENT Englishman blames the English government as responsible for the failure of the Bru monetary conference. People on this side of the Atlantic knew long ago where to lay the blame, not only for the last unsue- cessful attompt to secure a is for international bimetallism, but also for the two previous fruitless conferences. THE HOUSE VoTeS FOR REPEAL. The first vietory in tho fight fora sound and stable currency has been won, and it is more overwhelming and de- cisive than the most sunguine of the ad- voeates of a discontinnance of the gov- ernment pnrchases of stivor anticipated. As late as Saturday last, when the de- bate in the house was conciuded, the highest estimate of a majority for repeal was The majority given for the Wilson bill was 129, evidencing the fact that a great many moembers who had been placed in the doubtful list were in favor of repeal, but preferred not to make that fact known until they came to vote. The fate of silver pur chases, so far as the house of represonta- tives {s concerned, was settled when the first voto was taken, showing but 124 supporters,of the proposition for free coinage at the present ratio. The sev eral proposals for tree coinage at an enhanced vatio were rejocted by over- whelming majorities, the besy showing made by the silver men being on the mendment to re-enact the Bland-Allison law, for which they secured 136 votes. The voting shows that the republicans kept their promise to do their duty, only eleven of them voting for freo coinage at the present ratio, while they wore no loss unanimous in supporting the repeal bill. Thus they attested the patriotic devotion to the interests and welfare of the country which their distinguished leader in the house assured the country on last Satur- day it could safely expect of them. Without this practieally solid repub- lican vote for vepeal thore can bo no doubt that it would have failed, so that it is to the republican party that the country really owes this legislation in the intercst of a sound curreney. It is important that this fact be fully under- stood when the question of party claims is to bo considered. The bill passed by the house will now go to the semate and if the usual course is followed it will be re fer committee. As it ed to the finance differs somewhat in terms from the bill roported to the senate by that committee the rupposition is that the senate will first act on its own measure, and if that i I send it to the house for con- This procedure might open the question in the house, but the more probable result would be that the house would ask for a conference com- mittee s0 as to avoid the delay incident toa renewal of the discussion in that body The important quostion now is as to when action may bo expected by the senate. Nobody can tell this with any degree of certainty. 1f the silver senators adhere to their repeat- edly announced determination to fight unconditional repeal to the last oxtrem- ity, using cvery means and dovice at their command under senatorial *‘cour- tesy” for this purpose, the contest in that body can be prolonged indefinitely. There is reason to expect, however, that the overwhelming victory for repeal in the house, backed as it will be by an almost unanimous public sentiment, will exert an influenco which oven some of tho silver senators will not be disposed to ignore. The whole atten- tion of the country and all the weight of public opinion will now be centered upon that body and the men who obstruct and attempt to defeat the policy which a very large majority of the people be- lieve to be necessary to the restoration of confidence and prosperity will do so at the peril of their political futures The popular branch of congress has ren- dered its decision on this supreme ques- tion. The duty of the is to promptly coneur. re- senate PRESIDENT AND PARTY The favor with which the unfriendly references of Senator Hill of New York to the president, in his speech in the senate last weelk, were received by some of the democratic senators, and the utterance of menacing warnings, plainly intended for the president by democrats in both branches of congress, show that Mr. Cleveland is far from having that complete command of the ennfidenco of his party which is neccessavy to enablo the exccutive to carry out his policies. It has been apparent ever since congross convened in extra session that there a strong clement determined to resent every attempt which the presi- dent may make to dominate legislation. There are probably not less than a score of demceratic senators who feel a hearty personal dislike of the president and who will only be restrained from exhib- iting this feeling by considerations of political or party expediency. So faras they are compelled to accedo to the re ommendations or known wishes of the president in order to prevent a serious breach in the party, such as Mr. Bland has threatened, they will support the policy of the administration, but they may be expeeted to antagonize it when- is ever opportunity shall offer with- out serious danger of injury to the party. These senators will have with them a considerable number of rep- resentatives, so that in both houses there will be a contingent of democrats vigil- antly and earnestly guarding tho legis- lative branch of the government against exceutive encronchment or domination, The influence exerted by the president in conneetion with the organization of the house committeas has not tended to strengthen him with the party in con- gress. The clevation of Wilson of West Virginia to the leadevship of the house, by virtue of his position as chairman of the ways and means committee, wus ungues- tionably demanded by Mr. Cleveland as a condition to the administration favor- ing tho re-clection of Speaker Crisp The promotion of Wilson over the heads of several men of longer experience in congress and of at least equal ability with the West Virginia representative has provoked much adverse comment among the friends of the men whose elaims were ignored. It was an extra- ordinary, if not an unprecedented, inter- forence on the part of the executive which will not soon be forgiven by the men who suffered from it. There is an- other and perhaps graver charge aguinst Mr. Cleveland which was referre 10 by Senator Hill with the effect of producing something of a sen=ation, and that is the attempt to nfluence members of through executive patronage. congress It is im- poseiblo to say whether or mot this charge is well-founded, but from the way in which allusion to it was received ia the senate there is reason to conclude that it is believed by senators not to be groundless. If it bo a fact that Mr. Cleveland has determined to make a liberal grant of patronage to those who support his policies and to punish those who do not by withholding patronage from them—thereby using the offices in his gift to bribe the consciences of the people’s representatives—he is pur- sning a course which every good citizen must condemn. Other prosidents may have done the same thing, but it would be no justification of such a course to cito any number ot precedents for it. The employment of patronage under any circumstances to influence congress is an oxorcise of executive power wholly inconsistent with our system of government, and its practice would be fraught with great danger to free insti- tutions. No man is 0 pure or 8o patri- otic that he can safely be entrusted with such a power. By fav the most difficult task thatecon- fronts Mr, Cleveland 1s that of manag- ing his party. Thus far he has not boen entirely successful, though he has accomplished more than was ex- pected, but it is to o remembered that he has had the powerful assistance of vublic sentiment. Believing that the president has more consorvative views on the questions that the present con- gress will have to deal with than the majority of his party, the hope will be very general that he will be able to bring his party to his way of thinking. THE MEN FOR 1HE BENCH, The call issued for the meeting of practicing attorneys of the fourth ju- dicial district to be held on Wednesday next states as the purpose of that meet- ing the suggestion of “suitable” persons as judges to fill the prospective vacan- cios on the bench. Kverything hinges uvon the interpretation of the term suitable and upon this will depend the success or failure of the nonpartisan movement. In seleeting the man who shall bo presented to the people as bear- ing the recommendation of the bar no narrow spirit or selfish manipulations should be tolerated. Attorneys must remember that they act in a representa- tive capacity and that popular approval of their action can only be seeured in case their proceedings come up to the standard which the people have a right to expect. The selection of the men who are to be proclaimed as the choice of the bar for these responsible positions devolves upon those who take part in the proposed meeting. They must themsclves deter- mine who are suitable and who are notv suitable for their endorsement. To de- scribe the qualities which a judge should pos may bo a difficult t but there are certain characteristics which all must agroe should not be found in the men who assume to inter- pret the laws and to deal out justice. They must not have characters subject to attack of any kind. They must have no flaws in their reputations for hon- osty and integrity. They must not be 80 inexperienced as to be compolled to rely entirely on the counsel before them for their knowledge of the law. Thoy must not lack the confidence of any part of the community. They must not be men who prefer to obtrude themselves into prominence rather than to let them- selves be judged upon theiv own merits, Ina word, they must be irreproachable in character, learned in the law, and re- spected by all classes, lawyers included, There are plenty of men suitable for judges, and none but suitable men should receive the slightest consideration. FOR A MONETARY COMMISSION. Tt has been a frequent custom of con- g to secure information upon topic demanding legislative action by means of commissions made up of members chosen in various wa, These commis- sions have in some instances formulated their recommendations into a definite bill ready for enactment, and a few such bills have passed both houses and have become laws, No harm can be ant puted from a reference of the subject of financial reorganization to a commis- sion, while it is quite possible and highly probable that much good may v sult. Mr. McCreary's resolution iook- ing toward the appointment of a mone- tacy commission deserves then the careful eonsideration of congress in all its various features, Mr. MeCreary's resolution contem- plates the assignment of a threefold duty to the commission, It proposes first an investigation into the change that has taken place of late years in the relative values of gold and silver which shall aim to solve the problem whether that change has been due to an apprecia~ tion of gold or a depreciation of silver This question has been vepeatedly pro- pounded ever since the altered relation of gold and silver became noticeable, and it is as far from being answered to thoe satisfaction of all now as formerly, It is the sume inquiry which was made by a Dritish commission on the depres- sion of trade several years ago. It has been dealt with by our own national commissioner of labor in ono of his reports; and it has boen the theme of innumerable private in- vestigations, most notable among them the work of Mr. David A, Wells upon “Recent Beoncmie Change Some of these investigators have come to one conclusion, sume toanother, while others, like the British commission, have found themsclves adrift, unable to arrive at a sutisfactory result. To expeet, there- fore, that a new commission with a time limit of less than four months will be able to give the desired information is to expect too much. It may perhaps gather material upon which individual congressmen may found a judgment, but if it tries to give a definite answer as to the appreciation of gold it will be un- able to avoid a difference of opinion fol- lowed by two sets of recommendations in & minority and a majority report. The other points contemplated in Mr, MeCreary resolution, namely whet coinage ratio is most advisable for main- taining the double standard in the United States and what are the best maans of reorganizing the banking sys- tem, give promise of move fruitful work. That our coinage luws need revision and THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: that our banking system requires a re- organization isHhlonger denied in any quarter. The gefdoration of confidence can without doiib¥he greatly promoted should measureg for & permanent mone- tary systom roceive prompt and specdy consideration. ' T'hiese measures, if loft to the regular committees of congross cannot attain thht unity of and that harmopy of detail which are most desizable in such legislation. Our financial policy ought to be con- structed upon “$éthe uniform plan with one definite object in view. This can only be accomplished when the whole subject is placed {h the hands of a single manageable body, chosen, as is proposed, with strict reference to the special fit- ness of the membery for that particular work. The congressional committees might possibly object to such a plan as despoiling them of the honor which might attach to a successful picce of legislation, but an objection of this kind has no basis other than mere selfishness. A scheme for reorganizing our laws re- lating to the national banks, the our- rency and the coinage, if unanimously endorsed by a commission consisting of men of the highest financial standing, might secure that prestige which would bring it the support of a sufficient num- ber of congressmen to insure its pussage. ANOTHER significant feature of the Holmanism of the last democratic house has como to light in connection with the Civil Service commission. The commis- sion has never had sufficient funds at its disposal to enable it to run things as it would desire and it now finds itself in a worse dilemma than ever before. People all over the country who have passed civil servico examinutions are waiting to learn the results of their efforts, while the number of papers yet to be examined is constantly increasing. The commission has fifty-seven employes nominally at its disposal, but is really gotting services from less than half for the reason that thirty-seven of them are subject to tho orders of other departments and merely detailed to it for special work. The result is that on July 1 there were over 5,000 papers in arrears of marking, and since then thisnumber has ir wsed to almost 8,000, The Civil Service com- mission has attempted to take a hand in conducting the business of almost every branch of the public service. What it now needs is to devote a little more tention to its own work, and with this in view it is straining every point to induce congress to plade a greater number of persons under its exclusive control. The commission ought to be joyful over the Qismissal of Holman from the appropria- tion committee, othprwise its chances of succoss would not ba very great. THE ‘“‘people of South Omaha” have resolved to urge: it upon our representa- tive in congress to use all his influence to secure the evéction of a mint in Omaha for the coinage’of both gold and silver. The projéct is a good one and in case the government should decide to enlarge its mint facilities no efforts should be spared to. present the advan- tages offered by this city for the location of such a mint. 'We beg to recommend that the portion of the resolution asking for a mint be separated from the re- mainder, which deals with free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. ACCORDING to Congressman Bryan, an honest dollar is “a dollar whose pur- chasing power remains the same yester- day, today and forever.” When it comes to confusing definitions, Bryan is right in the lead., If ho will explain satisfac- torily what he means by purchasing power he will have enlightened no small number of students who have been pon- dering over the subject all the best years of their lives. TuE New York Sun insists that the large plurality by which Iowa decided against the “‘constitutional” tariff last year is no adequate criterion of the present feeling of her people. No, of course not. The feeling in favor of a protective tarifl has only been intensified by the disastrous results of democratic threats and the republican majority this fall will be materially augmented. ENGLAND is now becoming alarmed lest France imagine that she may do as she please with Siam. England watched the spoliation without endeavoring to interfere and it is now a trifle late to make France disgorge what she so ily secured.

Harmony in the Democratio Camp. New York World, The action of Speaker Crisp in appointing Mr. Bland coinage and giving a majority of that com- mittee to the champions of free silver is ab- surd, illogical and 1nimical to the public interest and the party’s welfare from every point of view. 1t shows a lack of respect for the president, for the seeretary of the treas- ury, for daemocratic unity. It is an act in fligrant disregard of the welfare of the nation, for it can but cl peasiness at the ultimate action of congress upon the question of the currency. It is directly op- Dosed to the soie objectof the special session, which is the repeal of the Sherman law, and while it may notembarrass the passage of the repeal bill on the aay already fixed for a vote, it could not fail scriously to compli- cate the plain issue before congress should disagreement with the senate lead to the appointment of a conference committce, o e TR PEOPLE AND THING Federal pie proved a convincing argument.
