Implicated in this barter and sale of executive clemency were men who still occupy positions of alleged honor and trust under the state of New Jersey. To spare the memory of the dead governor, his friends would have had the people of the state remain in ignorance of the real characters of the living abettors of his misdeeds. There Is only one way to maintain the stability of representative government, and that is to make the betrayal of a public trust the most heinous of offenses in the oyes of all self-respecting tizens. This can be done only by corruption wherever it exists. The living have rights more sacred than the dead.

It is to be regretted that fhe supreme court is not in condition to give a full hearing to the canal bond controversy. The interests involved run into the mil- lions, and the county commissioners very properly desired an interpretation f the law in all its bearings from the highest Judicial tribunal the anal bond proposition is submitted. I the Taw is unconstitutional, or if there e any serious fmpediments to car ing its p into practical effect without the county in a olossal debt and interminable litiga tion it wounld be much better not to put the county to the expense of a spe cial election. In view of the magnitude of the in- terests involved it would seem proper that at least five of the judges of this before wisions swampin district should hear and deter- mine the application for mandamus. The hearing before a single judge, whatever decision might reach, would be unsatisfactory to the taxpayers on both sides of the question. If the per- cmptory writ of mandamus is granted those who are opposed to the canal project might charge partiality. If it is vefused the promoters of the canal would appeal to the higher court for a final decision. Independent of the whether the ¢ main question, unty commissioners shall call a special election, there are many fncidental questions to be determined that should have judicial consideration. The law Is very vague on many points that should be settled before any ex- vense Is incurred either in holding a spec ton or in the engineering and purchase of right-of-way and ter- minal groun On these points the commissioners should have the views and conclusions of a majority of fhe district beneh, Until these debatable are settled it would be useless to A LIVELY INSURRECTION.

THE DUTY OF BUSINESS MEN In his address at the dedication of the Detroit Chamber of Comn e last week, which has attracted wide atten- tion as a most valuable contribution to the eanse of sound money, Comptroller of the Currency Iickels urged that it s the duty of busi- ness men not to be unmindful of the condition that confronts them. It 1s to be apprehended that too gen- erally the men engaged in trade and commerce are not giving that close and oful attention and study to the free silver issue which its great importance merits. A large majority of them, there is reason to believe, are so preoccupied with their business affairs that they are not disposed to give even a little time to serious investigation and thoughtful deliberation upon this paramount que tion, and therefore what ought to be a powerful and commanding influence in behalf of sound and stable curren is not being exerted. It is not to doubted that a vast majority of substantial bus be the men of the country 1o opposed to free and unlimited coin- age of silver by the United States alone, but it is necessary to give due weight to fhis fact that such busine men shall ke their opinion known and this can be done through their organizations, which exist in every considerable city of the country. Surely no class of the people ought to take greater interest in this subject than the men of commerce and trade, for as Mr. Kekels said there is no commerce where faith is wanting in a country’s medium of exchange and trading is reduced to mere betting, as would result from the free silver policy as now presented. The forces of fiat silver currency, said Mr. Eckels, can be permanently eradi- cated as factors worthy of consideration and sources of discontent and financial loss in but one way and that lies through the gateway of sound monetary education. Who are so well qualified to contribute to such an edueation as the practical business men of the countr At present the discussion of this ques- tion is being earried on chiefly by the politicians. It is most desirable that the voice of the solid business men of the country be heard regarding it, and there ean be no doubt that an expres sion from this source such as it is pos- sible to get through commercial hodies would exert a powerful influence on the side of a sound currency. The free sil- ver propaganda is actively snd zealously at wor t revolutionizing the countr; system and United States to the silver ndard. It is urgently necessary that all the elements opposed to this danger. ous policy should make themselves felt and among these elements none can wield a wider or more valuable influ- enec than the business men, The mast review of the relations of the money metals to each other and their functions as a medium of ex- changes in the commercinl world, re- cently presented by Hon. Charles Timory Smith before the Pennsylvania legislature, is published on another page of this issue. It is a clear cut and comprehensive presentation of the im- vort and meaning of that plank in the Minneapolis platform that pled the republican party to a policy that will insure bimetallism and the restoration of silver to its proper place in the cur- rency system. Mr. Smith's views are in full accord with those of the repub- lican masses and will go far to dispel the delusions and vagaries that have found a lodgment in the minds of men who have been seized by the free and limitless coinage craze without compre- hending its import and the disaster that would overtake this country as the inevitable consequence of the enactment of laws that would make silver the basis of all our currency and place us on an equal footing in money matters with Mexico and the South Amerienn stated Whoever heard of any great publi work in this country costing less than the original estimates? Yet ounr cable dispatches report the announcement by the German imperial secretary of the interior t the actual expenses for the construction of the Baltic & North canal now nearing complotion will be 700,000 marks less than the esti- mate. This is a remarkable showing in favor of the efficiency of work under the German government. It means that the administration of this great public fmprovement been in the hands of honest officials, and that frauds and jobs prevented. What ve been effectively the German govern- ment can do ¥ other government can do under simllar conditions. The difficnlty with us is always to obtain men to take charge of public enter- prises who are at once capable and of strict integrity.

The Vassing of Prohibitio; Chicago Tribune The reason that state prohibition con- tinues to lose ground is that ample trial demonstrated that liquor drinking could be suppressad in those counties where a majority of the voters were opposed to pro- hibition' of fmbibing alcoholic stimulants, “ted the judges, sheriffs, mayc and constables opposed to it, and juries re- fused to convict.” Where a 'steady popular sentiment in a county is opposed to a sumptuary law it is not enforced. Expe- rience also shows that the most practical way of dealing with liquor venders is to tax them heavily and to deprive them of their licenses if they violate the conditions ther=of by keeping disorderly places.
