Every- where preparations for the observance | of Decoration day show that there Is no | decline in the reverenee of our people for the dead soldiers of the union, no | loss of futerest in the beautiful custom by which for more than a quarter of a | contury grateful nation has mani- | fested care and affection for the memor the men whose valor pre- | served it. It Is most honorable te the | American character that such is the fact, for our devotion to the observance »f Decoration day goes far to refute the | accusation that as a people we are sor- did and materialistic, with little rd for anything that not lead to| money getting. It bas been said that the country is blessed whie tombs treasure the ashes | of heroes. If that be true no country is s0 blessed as this republic, the graves of whose dead soldiers are in almost every cemotery throughout the land, From | these resting places of American pa triots there springs a gospel which tells the saving power of self-sacrifice, the uplifting energy of a noble and un selfish patr nd the inspiring in fluence of e death, The graves of our dead heroes tell of a larger liberty, [ the greater security of free institutions, a stronger union, the inestimable com pensations of loyalty and valor never surpassed if ever, equaled in the world's histc Thus these dead soldiers of the union still live in the great work they hieved, and in this sense they will live forever. To bury the graves of our heroic dead in flowers and brighten their names with eulogy is to pay in part the great debt of gratitude we owe them, and the benefits are all for ourselves and those who shall come after us. In the uplift- ing influence of this oecasion, in its in spiration to a higher patriotism, in its strengthening effect upon our faith in free institutions, and in its teaching the value of loyal citizenship, there is abun- dant compensation for all the time and effort that may be expended in its proper observanc it of or doe THE POUR MAN THE CHIEF LOSER. In the current discussions of the moiey question considerable stre is being laid upon the cxistence of sev- eral large ¢ of obligations, amounting in the aggregate to millions upon millions of dollars, which under depreciated eurrency would entail parable loss upon the people in every walk of life. For o ample, it is readily seen that every depositor in a bank would, if the coun- fry were reduced to a silver basis, draw out his savings in dollars worth only half those that he put in. Every pen stoner would have the value of his pen- sion cut in two. Fixed salaries would be praectically reduced a half. Every man holding a life insurance policy or a fire insurance policy would be able to realize only half of what he expected and had been paying for. There is, however, one class of sim ar obligations which affect every pe son in the country which has not r ceived the attention that it deserves. It is the amount of money in civenla- tion that under a rezime of free silver coinage would be reduced to the same basis as the depreciated silver dollar. Ordinarily it is assumed that the only outstanding currency that would suffer would be the stock of mdard silver dollars in circulation, approximating some §54,000,000. Once in a while it is remembered that we have $60,000,000 of subskdiary silv which will neees. sarily fall along with the larger coins. But the fact that all of our paper cur- reney, with the exception of the gold certificates, Is convertible into current coin and must fluctuate in value with that coin, at once adds to the loss that free coinage would force upon the poor man. ptember 1 of last year the were in cireulation $65,068,069 of sily certifieates. Each of these represents silver dollars in the treasury and if the dollar becomes a 5H0-cent dollar will represent no more. There were also in cireulation 325,217,077 in treasury notes and $26: 102 in United States notes and $58,065,000 in currency cer- tificates, all of which are interchange- able with the silver dollar. Still fur- ther, there were in circulation over $200,000,000 in national bank notes, which the banks promise to pay merely in lawful money of the United States and which they would as soon pay in S0-cent silver dollars as not. Of the total money in circulation in Septem- T, aggrezating $1,646,671,481, less than $365,000,000 consisted of gold and gold certiticates, and more than §1,080,- 000,000 consisted of silver and paper convertible into silver. The great bulk of this money is in the haunds of the laborers, the small merchants and the loeal traders. Cut down its value and we inflict a Joss upon every person who happens to have a silver dollar or a paper doltar In his pocket. The people who have their savirgs in the form of money or bank { deposits are the poor people. The rich | man takes care of the investment of his capital himself. The man could not escape bearing the bur- den of & ¢l S8 noor chief THE OH!O REPUBLIC. The republicans of Ohio beld their state convention earlier than usual this year, which may Dbe interpreted as meaning that they intend to prosecute an aggressive campalgn. There has {been some factional conflict In the party, but no bitterness, and the pro- ceedings of the convention indicate that in the campaign the party will be found united and harmonious, The sclection ot Senator Sherman as chaivman of the couvention was cminently judicions The veteran statesman has po furthel be accepted by the faetions without any doubt as to its sincerity, With one or two exceptions the candidates for the gubernatorial nomination are popular men of about equal availability, so that 0 1ze to a siver moaey basis | politieal ambition and his counsel could | undoubtedly make a vigorous fight. | What will contribute most, however, to publicans an aggressive one is the fact that Ohio has a candidate for the presi- dency snd that ex nor Foraker desires to go to the United States sen- | ate. With these two powerful leaders | shonlder to shoulder in the fight, as| there I¢ not a doubt they will be, Ohio is certain to be the most interesting litical battleground of the present year and the result is not the least bit doubt- ful. The plank in the Obio republican | form which will command most atten- tion from the country is the one relat-| ing to the currency. It is an unequivo cal declaration for honest money—that | is, for money every dollar of which shall be as good as any other dollar. It fa-| vors the coutinued use of silver in the currency upen conditions that will maintain its parity with gold, which is | true bimetallism, It demands that the | purchasing and debt-paying power of | the two metals shall be at all times | equal, which is fair and honest. There had been some apprehension that the | Ohio vepublicans would waver on this | question and commit themselyes to some | sort of ambiguous proposition that would admit of almost any interpreta- tion, but the sound currency and true bimetallic sentiment of the country will find no fault with the declaration of their platform. Republicans generally will also agree with the enuneiaion re- garding protection and reciprocity. In view of the utter failure of the demo- cratie tariff law as a revenue measure no unnrejudiced person will that it needs modification and that in changing it the inter of American labor and American industries require that the policy of protection should be more fully reeognized. Tmportant as the currency question undoubtediy s, not less so is the question of a wise and just economie policy that will provide ample rovenue for the government and an adequate protection to do- mestic industrie The resolution presenting Governor McKinley as a candidate for the pr dential nomination in 1806 and pledging him the support of Ohio in the next re- publican national convention was ex pected. If the republicans carry Ohio next November MeKinley will have the solid support of the delegation from that state in the next national conven- tion. In committing the party to ex- Governor Foraker for the United States senate the republicans of Ohio have made a departure and it remains to be seen what the effect will be as to the legislature. The conditions, however, foreshadow another sweeping victory for the republicans of the Buckeye state this year. auestion s The decision in the Debs case brings out one minor point prominently, and that is that a person has a much better chance to secure a reversal on appeal from a commitment for contempt of a ative Dody than of a lower ju tribunal. Every time eithe of congress, or a committee of one of them, or some lesser legislative authority, tries to fmpose a penalty upon recaleitrants who defy its author- ity to enforce its orders or to compel testimony, the party in default is almost sure to get off on a techmicality by taking his case before a regular judicial body. The precedents in this line in the United States supreme court and in the various state courts are common On the other hand, the plain violation of a court order is viewed in a much more serious light in the appellate ju- visdiction. 1In the first Instance the question involves the exercise of ju- dicial power by an extra-judicial body. In the second it involves the extent of the judicial power itselft. The distine- tion seems to be one of great force with our judges. The decision in the Oregon Short Line receivership is by no means re- garded as inimical to the present management, and Union Pacific em- ployes In Omaha have no cause yet to feel seriously alarmed. The conditions imposed by Judge Sanborn upon the mortgage bondholders are such as to render doubtful whether they could with any safety comply with them for the mere advantage gained of having a separate receiver. The contest over the Short Line is, however, not yet over. It will take them ten days to two weeks to get a definite settlement of the con- troversy. Until then all conclusions as to the final outcome must be held in abeyance. The democrats of Omaha are capable of minding thelr own affairs without the atd or consent of any other party on earth.— World-Herald. Of course they are. They are capable of pulling themselves over the fence by thelr bootstraps without aid or consent of anybody. They have a natural eca- pacity for brag and bluster that is not excelled by any other party, but when it comes to a showdown they have not been able to elect even a member of the school ‘board on their own hook. The only offices they eaptured would not have come within a thousand miles if | they had depended upon democratie support alone. The bondsmen of ex-Oil Inspector Hilton are very much like the bonds- men of every other state officer. They will iusist on taking advantage of every possible technicality to evade the pay- | ment of the sum for which they in- tended to stand good. An official bond { which binds the sureties is a rarvity in these days. It the Central American republics are | veally planning for a union it must be | because the momentary lack of inter revolutions has left them with nothing else to do. They are generally so busy ! fighting one another that they have not Dhitherto had time to consider the ad- vantages of peaceful combination.

New York Sun We learn with poignant sorrow of the death in battle of Jose Marti, the well known leader of the Cuban revolutionists. We knew him long and well and esteemed him pro- foundly. For a protracted period, beginning twenty odd years ago, he was employed as a contributor to the Sun, writing on subjects and questions of fine arts. In these things his learning was 1id and extensive and his ideas and conclusions were original and bri liant. He was a man of genius, of imagina- tion, of hope and of courage, one of those descendants of the Spanish race whko e Ame can birth and instincts seem to have added to the revolutionary tincture which all mod- ern Spaniards Inherit. His heart was warm and affectionate, his opinions ardent and as- piring and he died as such a man might wish to die, battling for liberty and democracy. Of such heroes there are not too many in the world, and his warlike grave testifies that even in a positive and material age there are spirits that can give all for their princi- ples without thinking of any selfish return for themselves.

Mulhall, publishes in the June number of the North | view, just issued, an articie on “The Power | and wWealth of the United States.” Mr. | Mulball's conclusion is tnat “if we take a survey of mankind in anctent or modern | times as regards the physical, mechanical and intellectual force of nations, we find nothing to compare with the United States in this present year of 1895 and that the United States possesses by far the greatest productive power in the world. He asserts that the absolute effective force of the American people {8 now more than three times what it was in 1860 and that the United States possesses almost as much energy as Great Britain, Germany and France collectively, and that the ratio fall- ing to each American is more than what two Englishmen or Germans have at their disposal. He points out by a careful comparison be- tween the conditions in these different coun- tries that an ordinary farm hand in the United States ralses as much grain as three in England, four in France, five in Ger- many or six in Austria, One man in America can produce as much flour as will feed 250, whereas in Europe one man feeds only thirty persons. Mr. Mulhall calls special attention to the fact that the intel- lectual power of the great republic is in harmony with the industrial and mechanical, §7 per cent of the total population over 10 vears of age being able to read and write. “It may be fearlessly asserted,” said he, “that in the history of the human race no nation ever before possessed 41,000,000 in. structed citizens.” The writer sets forth in regard to the growth of the wealth of the United States that the average annual increment from 1821 to 1890 was 901 milliards of dollars, which sum is one milliard over the total wealth of Great Britain. Classifying the whole wealth of the union under the two heads of urban and rural, he finds that rural or agricultural wealth has only quadrupled in forty years, while urban wealth has multiplied sixteen-fold. In an important series of figures it is shown that the ‘“rise in wealth and the Increase in wages came almost hand in hand.” In deal ing with the development of farm values Mr. Mulball makes the following statement: “If the United States had mo urban popula- tion or industries whatever the advance of agricultural interests would be enough to claim the admiration of mankind, for it has no parailel in history.” B DENOUNCED THE DEBS DECISION Amalgamited Associntion Passes Resolu- tions on the Subject.
