Finance and Flat.
The fact that over forty financial bills
have been introduced in the Senate
this session, the greater part of which.
no doubt, in the opinion of their au-
lhors, embody infallible remedies for
the ailments now afflicting the body
politic, shows the general interest that
is felt in this matter throughout the
country. . , . " -
The further fact, however, that quite
a number of these bills are absurd and
impracticable, shows that there is a
wide-spread amount of misinformation
abroad as to fundamental principles of
finance and methods of dealing with
monetary difficulties. They propose
the issue of fiat money pure and sim-
ple, redeemable in itself; of aluminium
money in quantities suflicient to redeem
all the interest-bearing bonds of the
United States at par; of gold and silver
coinage, unlimited, the price of the
bullionto be fixed at the Washington
market without regard to prices abroad,
and so On. . It is needless to say that
the flat idea predominates in all these
schemes, and that it is of little or no
consequence how much money the Gov-
ernment makes, or of what material it
makes it, so long as it is capable of
passing from hand to hand and in and
out of the public Treasury.
It is true that these suggestions indi~
cate a supreme faith in the credit of the
Government, but the necessity of some
reserve as a basis of final redemption
and safeguard against depreciation
seems to be entirely lost sight of. Of
course, a government like ours,‘ so rich
and resourceful, would never let a note
go to protest so long as it had another
note wherewith to pay it ; but we are a
little fearful that long before we reached
the waste-paper basis the country would
find itself hopelessly swamped without
an anchor to windward. Noflgoyern-
ment can long float its promises to pay
unless there is some assurance that the
promise to pay is backed by the power.
Inflation is all right so long as it lasts,
but it cannot last forever any more
than a soap bubble, and when the bub-
ble bursts, where are we at .?
The Duty of the Senate.
The discussion of cloture in the Sen-
ate was not without interest,-though it
led to no result except the reference of
our Senator Platt’s resolution to the
committee on rules. This would enable
the committee to report a rule for clos-
ing debate if so disposed; but it is well.
understood that the majority of the
committee are opposed to such a meas-
ure.
Even were a cloture rule reported, it
would be as easy to obstruct action up-
on it, as upon the silver bill, and even
easier, since there would probably be
fewer Senators in its favor and the sil-
ver men would not allow it to come to
a vote unless they were confident of
defeating it. It is hard to see,therefore,
what is to be gained by discussing the
subject at this time, and its reference to
the Committee on Ruleséwas a wise
procedure. There Senator Platt can
make his argument without detaining
the Senate, as he has promised $0,.on
There has never been any rule for
closing debate in the Senate because
such a rule was not supposed to be
necessary. It is assumed that Senators
are men of good sense and gentlemen,
who will not ofier merely factions op-
position to the orderly course of legis-
lation. A large minority has sometimes
held back action in 'the Senate until
the purpose of the majority was
changed, or in cases where it was held
that an appeal to the country ought
first to be taken; but it has rarely if
ever happened that the courtesy of the
Senate was abused so far as to‘ enable a
small minority absolutely to destroy
the power of the Senate as a legislative
body. ' .
It must be clear that obstruction, un-
der such conditions as the present,
makes representative government a
farce and converts the Senate itself
into a dangerous obstacle. The Senate
must find a way to exercise its consti-
tutional functions or cover itself with
contempt, for the country demands a
Prompt vote on the silver purchasing
clause of the Sherman bill and will not
be appeased short of its repeal.

The Criminal ' Superior court jury
Friday afternoon broke their record
by acquitting a prisoner. Until then
the jury convicted every person tried
before them. The one lucky man was
Emil Cunzberger, accused of stealing
$90 from George Prochaskie of West-
port. The evidence was wholly circum-
stantial. ‘
Frank Kimball, the dude burglar,
who was taken from South Norwalk on
a bench warrant, was taken before
Judge Wheeler, it being Kimball’s de-
sire to plead guilty and begin serving
his sentence as quickly as possible He
knew also that by saving the state the
expense of a trial his punishment would
be lighter. State Attorney Fessenden
would not accept Kimball’s plea of
guilty, however, without the prisoner’s
counsel being present. Kimball was
without counsel and as there was not a
lawyer present whom the court could
appoint to act for him the case was con-
tinued to next Tuesday, Judge Wheel-
er instructing Clerk Haviland to notify
Lawyer Banks to appear for Kimball.
The latter, it is understood, will plead
guilty to two counts.

Geaeralshlp' and Book Knowledge.
The greatest soldier who ever lived-
Alexander of Macedon—though he slept
with Homer under his pillow, had prob-
ably never seen a book on military art,
and though You Moltke was a student,
we may be permitted to doubt if Marl-f
borough ever was. He read only Shake-
speare zealously.
Certainly in our time no able man who
wanted a chief for any great undertak-
ing of any kind would dream of asking
the limits of his reading or would be
able to avoid a silent prejudice against a.
candidate, partly unreasonable, but part-
ly also the result of a traditionary expe-
rience, if he knew first he was in any
special degree a stuint of books. He
would think him a nian apt to be misled.
Indeed, in one great condition of effi-
ciency, perhaps in practice the greatest
of all conditions, we should assign to un-
read men—we do not mean uneducated
men, but men who never voluntarily
open books—a. definite superiority. They
are a t to choose men better. Soldiers
who 0 not read make no mistake about

I Rossini’s Memory. '
The composer of “II Barbiere di Sivig-
lie” was blessed with a not very reten-
‘tive memory—especially for names of
persons introduced to him—a forgetful-
ness which was frequently the cause of,
much merriinent whenever Rossini was
among company. One day he met
Bishop, the English composer. Rossini
knew the face well enough and at once
greeted him. “All, my dear Mr. ———,"
but he could progress no further. To
convince him that he’had not forgotten
him Rossini commenced whistling Bish-
op’s glee, “When the Wind Blows,” a
compliment which “the English Mozart”
recognized and would as readily have
heard as his less musical surname.-'

A Light Sentence.
Friday night last the police were
called to the home of Eli Burchard on
Main street to quiet a family disturb-
ance in which Mrs. Burchard, recently
discharged from jail was a leading spir-
it. On her promise to behave herself
no arrests were made at that time. Sat-
urday night a similar complaint was
made to the police. Officers Northrop
and Martin visited the house,and learn-
ed-that Mrs. Burchard had been chas-
ing her husband about the house with a
carving knife. She was placed under
arrest but refused to leave the house,
and the officers were forced to pick her
up and carry her to .the station-house.
This morning Justice Coolidge sen-
tenced her to 120 days in jail,but on the
plea‘. of her husband to reduce the time
the judge relented and made it 30 days.
When told of the sentence, she said,
“Only thirty days, thank God for that.
I can take my pipe with me can’t I?
They let me have it _ before.” Mrs.
Burchard is a slave to intoxicants.

NEW Yonx, Sep. 25.-—-A Sun' special
from Valparaiso, Ind., says: Two men at-
tempted to rob the safe in the banking de-
partment of the Northern Indiana normal
college Saturday afternoon. As a read”
one of them, 0. F. Robinson, is dead and
his companion, C. M. Moody, is behind
bars at the county jail wounded. -_
It was about 8 1-2~ o’clock when two
masked men, armed, came into the bank-
ing oflice of the college. The only occu-
pants of the room were the sporetary, Miss
Kate Carboy, and her assistant, Miss
Emma J ones, '
She had entered the room only a mo-
ment before, and was covered with a re-
Volver by one of the men. By a quick,
movement she knocked the weapon from: 1893
his hand to the floor, and with a scream,,.
both young women started ffom the room.*
Picking up the {trolver the fist man
fired at Miss Jones, the bullet miSsin'g her
by only a few inches; : .
Seeing that their plans were frustrated
and that any effort to force the huge safe
would now be useless, the two robbers
hurried out of the office and down the
steps, revolvers in each hand.
They were confronted by Carrier Arnold,
whom they frighted with their weapons.
Arnold began to yell loudly. The students
poured out of the college buildings and the
big boarding houses and dormitories.
At the first shout the robbers wheeled
without firing and ran to the fence, over
which they leaped. They ran through the
campus and straight down the track of
the Fort Wayne road toward the east,
while behind them followed a yelling mob
of students. This crowd of pursue'rs must
have numbered 1,000.
Nathan 0. Howe of Michigan City, Ind.,,
who is a son of the famous old Frank
Howe, ex-detective, was driving along the
road with a wagon load of peaches, and
was fired at by one of the robbers.
He alighted from his wagon, deliberater
sighted his rifle across the fence and
brought Robinson to the ground with a
wound in the breast. He died instantly.
"His companion knelt over him and took
his revolver, throwing away his own empty
weapon, but before he could use it he was
shot by Howe from the roadside. He was
then captured and brought to this city,
where he was quickly lodged in jail.
