Already the advocates of various legislative mensures that have be De- fore the public for some time past are commencing to claim that their “par. tieularly pet project was the issuc of the eampalgn. Anong them, notwith standing the loss of thelr principal lead in congress, the advoeates of free colnage are trying their best to inter pret the results as encournging to the cause which they represent. how far the silver question entered into the campnign the New York Evening Post publishes fn donble columm, for purposes of comparison, the money planks of the platforms of the two great political parties in all of the states in which the battle has been waged.

In Colorado, for mple, all parties demand the restora tion without delay of the equal terms of both gold and s the old ratio of 16 to 1. The same is trie in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and ofther mining states, where there is prac tieal unanimity of op¥nion in favor of the so-called demands of silver. In a considerable number of states, such New York, the New B states, Wisconstn, Towa and se of the northwestern states, both emphatic in endorsing the repes Sherman silver purchasing law and in insisting on a currency composed of gold, silver and paper, every dollar of which shall at all times be readily ex changeable for ever other dollar. These platforms repudiate any action that would in any ¥ endanger stability of our mone In no party platforms was the silver jssue drawn so sharply as in Nebraska, where the two parties came out squarely and unmistakably in favor of opposite The republicans s that favor bimetallism and de- use of both gold and silver wdard money, we insist that the parity of the value of the two metals be maintained so that every dol paper or coin, issued by the gove ment shall as any other.” On the other hand, the democrats pressed their attitude in this plank: “We favor the immediate vestoration of the free and unlimited colnage of gold and sily at the present tio of 16 to 1, without wiiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth.” Yet, as eve one is well aware, the contest between the state tickets was fought on entirely different lines. The silver issue played some small part in the congressional eanvass and was mentioned now and then by speake: who we patiating in general on r publicanism or democracy, but it can hardly be said that the result turned on this point. We presume t the same is true in other states, with this qualification, that the rvepublican party has a reputation for its devotion to the principles of sound currency, which must have contributed its share to the swelling tide of republican populavity. CLEANSING NEW YORK. The cleansing of the Augean stables was a far less Herceulean task than will devolye upon Colonel Strong, the mayor- elect of New York, and tlie reform of- ficials elected with him in purging that city of the corruption and venality that have prevailed there under the control of Tammany. The work that Hercules was ordered to perform was that vemoving the deposits of 3,000 oxen during many years and the simple process he employed was that of turn ing the waters of two rivers into the filth-congested stables. It would be comparatively it this plan could be adopted for the purgation of the commercial metropolis of the country, but no deluge within the limitation of human power could reach the numerous ses of political rascality and base which have marked the ammany organization. from the investi- as positions. “While we mand the be as good rec criminality course of the The developments gation of the Lexow committee, start- ling as tl have been, as evidence of the extraordinary corruption existing under Tammany rule, have touched one department of the New York city government. While every- body at all conversant with the police department of New York City knew it to be corrupt the revelations have gone beyond what had been suspected, but even these, there Is every reason to be- lieve, are not worse than have prevailed in other departments. ‘The police de partment, it has been demonstrated be- yond question, has for yegrs been an organized blackmailing machine, exact- ing tribute from every source where it daved to levy it, and doing this re- lentlessly and unscrupulously.

It is said that the president is convinced that it will be necessary to put out $50.000,000 more at an early date and that the question of doing this is being seriously considered. The report is that the president, acting under the authority of existing law, is disposed to proceed in this matter at once, instend of wait ing action by his party in cong which might not be favorable to the is sue of more bonds. As a matter of fact | the president fully understands that probably congress wounld not, if the question were left to that body, per mit him to issue more bonds. A reso lution looking that beaten in the present house and there can be no doubt that if another was introduced looking to the extension of the publi debt it would meet with the same fate. True, the circumstances are a little dif- ferent now from what they were when the former resolution was introduced. Then it was believed that umder the new tariff law the treasury would get |all the revenue it required to meet the current expenditures of the government and the gold reserve would be built up to the normal standard. Kxperience has shown that this view wias wrong. As a revenue measure the new tariff law is an absolute failure, and the gold r rve continues to be some $40,000.000 behind what it ought [to be. The prospect of a change for the better is not encouraging. Impor tations are not growing for the ri that the market does not demand them. The gold reserve of the treasury not increase becanse duties are paid in other forms of currenc The aggregate receipts of the treasury do not equal the expenditures and every month brings a deficiency, which must be made up by future appropriations. How long can this state of things go on without v serious injury the credit of the government? As a matter of fact the government is today in solvent. If called upon to redeem its obligations, as provided for under the law of 18 it could not The credit of every single dollar of paper issued by the government is at this time resting upon the public faith and not upon an actual basis of redemp- tion. So far as that basis is concerned 1t does not exceed 10 cents on the dol- lar of the actual obligations of the government. Such a condition is well caleulated to create distrust, but there to believe that this will be averted by reason of the result of last Tuesday's elections, which is an assnrance to the country that the demo- cratie policy regarding the taviff and the finane mot be carried any far- ther.
