Free Coal and Plain Facts.
The Wilson tarifi' bill booms on its
triumphant way through the House.
The country is having a carnival of
party eloquence on either side, an
abundance of campaign material to be
salted down for summer use, and lots
of epigram and repartee that will pass
and b e forgotten like the bubbles that
explode upon the frog pond’s callous
‘ breast. The real quéstion is as to the
measure’s fate when it comes before
the Senate, where neither whip nor
spur, neither gag nor threat will rule.
Evidence accumulates,says the Wash-
ington Post, that free coal and free su-
gar and free iron ore will not be as
strong in the Senate as they seem now
in the House. Free coal especially ap-
pears to be losing vigor every day. The
proposition does not bear inspection.
It sheds its beauty and its melody un-
der careful criticism. Free coal sounds
well—almost as well as free beer, or
free lunch. Like many other things,
it has a charming sound. It suggests
economy, which is the road to wealth.
It tickles the unthinking ear. It isa
good cry for the multitude. But the
responsible men in Congress who have
freedom of action and therefore are
accountable to their constituencies and
to the country, who are allowed to ex-
press their views and who therefore
are held to some obligation of consist-
ency—these men cannot be lured away
by catchwords and shibboleths, and
with them, in consequence, the musical
cry of free coal. bears no magic on its
wings. They want to know whether
free coal means anything more than a
resounding metaphor, whether free
coal will be cheap, whether it will add
to the common prosperity, whether it
will multiply the sources of industry,
open new fields of employment, stimu-
late tral’fic, and set in motion the now
silent wheels of commerce. They want
to know whether it will do all this or
whether it will mock the idle laboring
man with low prices far beyond his
reach, and haunt his misery with bar-
gains which he cannot afford to seize.
They are asking themselves whether
cheap coal obtained at the cost of pros-
trate industries and starving millions
is not too expensive for reasonable hu-
man beings. They know that nothing
is cheap enough for the man who is
"penniless, and they are considering
that it might be better to have higher
prices if by the same token the people
were furnished with the means of pay-
ing them.
Altogether, in the cold, mathematical
light of fact, this fairy gift of free coal
is not as beautiful as it seemed in the
melodious strains of oratory. It be-
gins to be a question whether the coun-
try can afford it.
The Silver Question.
The silver question is by no means
dead, although many persons wish it
were. The objection to the use of sil-
ver as a currency, should rest upon the
ground that our present dollar is not an
honest one and unequal to the gold dol-
lar. The advocates of silver cannot see
that gold is the world’s standard and
by it are tried the value of other met-
als. This was shown in 1853 when Con-
gress reduced the weight of the Silver
dollar to place it on a level With gold.
Had silver been the standard the gold
dollar would have been raised in value.
With this indisputable and irremovable
fact in the way, any attempt of the sil-
ver men to force the use of a coin in-
trinsically deficient in weight, must be
a failure. The claims of the silver men
that one half of the money of the world
has been struck down by the de-
monetization of silver has some founda-
tion but yet silver must rest with a
cloud upon it until its advocates will
consent that its intrinsic value shall be
placed on an equality with gold. Until
that is done the remonstrances of the
silver men will go for nought.
The worst blow that silver ever re-
‘ wejvgd wastinthe Sherman act, when
_, by,_t,he use of thdwords, .f‘market
value,” silver was degraded to, the
ranksalong side of pig iron and ether
commodities ; and, it is a blow that sil-
ver will hardly recover-from. As mat-
' tel-snow stand it willbe impossible for '
silver to be restored to its former, com-

national agreement. The claims: of the
silver men that the currency of the
world has been contracted by the over}...-
throw of the silver is well founded, but'
the greed and unwillingness of the sil-
ver men to confront facts has done _
much to further. discredit that once
“precious metal.” Producers of pig
iron have a just cause to complain, in-
asmuch as improved methods of mining
and transportation have reduced the
value of their iron. It is the improve-
ment in mining, transportation and
smelting, that have reduced the value
of silver, and until the silver men con-
sent that more silver shall be put into a
dollar, their metal will remain in the
ranks,
The world has never seen the time
when there was too much currency in
circulation, but the world always de-
mands that the money in circulation.
shall have a value in itself, whether in
actual circulation or_ pledged for a
paper equivalent. When the silver men
learn this and conform to it, we may
expect to see the dollar of our daddies
on the shelf with gold, but not until
then. ‘

to implore Senators Gorman and Gib-

They then, after their visit to the Sen-
ate, wentover to the House and called
on the democratic congressmen. from
Maryland, and urged them also to try
and defeat the passage. of the Wilson
bill through the House, as its provi-

Nevertheless, Bismaer‘s Promise to
Visit. the Kaiser Causes 11 Sensation.
BERLIN, Jan. 24,—The announcement
that Prince Bismarck has promised to
visit Emperor W'illiam has caused a. sen-
sation here. Bismarck’s friends in the
reichstag assert that the emperor was led
to invite Bismarck to Berlin by the recent
Mittnacht incident in the reichstag. The
emperor’s sense of uprightness, according
'50 .Bismarck’s friends, was shocked by
the Public declaration that Prussia had
broken faith .with \Vurtemberg. Herr
von Kardortf already sees Bismarck re
turnng to power. Outside of the circle
of enemies of Chancellor von CapriVi,
however, a reconstruction of the cabinet,
with Bismarck behind the scene, is held
to be impossible. The emperor declared
aweek ago that he fully stood by the
chancellor.
Both the press and the public are en-
grossed with the subject of Prince Bis-
,nlnrck’s coming visit to Berlin. The
North German Gazette says that the in-
vitation to Bismarck was made entirely
on the emperor’s initiative.
The. National Gazette rejoices at the
rapprochement between the emperor and
Bismarck, and that the nation generally
will be pleased.
The Berlin bourse was favorably af-
fected by the news of Bismarck’s pro-
pOSed visit. .

on'-"th"e scenes and stirring adventures
South- Africa the action rests upon the
alleged power of the villain to reduce
by hypnotic influence, anybody, man
or woman, to his will. ‘ The power to
zkill by the unscrupulous use of hypno-
tic influence has already been raised to
the dignity of discussion in this coun-
try. It is by no means uncommon
either .for claims of hypnotism to be
set up_1n court 1n explanation of appar-
ently inexplicable conduct of men and
women. The dramatists have taken
advantage of the recent discoveries in
this line to weave an extraordinary plot
and strikingly interesting and pictur-
esque scenes. ' .
MUSIC HALL.
Is Kellar really a spiritualist? Don’t
ask—go and see for yourself. If you
ask him point blank he will laugh at
your folly. But how elsecan be out-
medium the mediums themselves, turn,
day into night, materialize a, Maid of
full view in the bright gas light, read
the minds of strangers, break through
reveal the secrets of black magic and
actually cause before your-very eyes a
livmg, breathing human being to van-
ish into, nothing. In his own tricks of
slight of hand, it is now conceded that
Keller has no equal, and this entire
performance will be seen at Music Hall
on the 27th of January.

“THE KIND THAT CURES.”
-.
~The Timothy H. Porter Case.
Tuesday’s hearing in the Timothy H.
Porter of Stamford, insanity proceed-
ings, was taken up mainly with expert
testimony and the testimony of Porter’s
two sons. The evidence of Drs. Geib
of Stamford and Porter of Bridgeport
went to estgblish insanity. The sons’
testimony recounted numerous instan-
ces of Porter’s careless and filthy
habits, hallucinations, a weakness for
Mabel Earle, a former governess, and
other women, and loose and wasteful
financial transactions. The hearing is
to be resumed Saturday, when the de-
fense may begin.- The defense has nu-
merous experts. '

_ Faithful and Honest.
We have heard much in speeches and
in essays of the duty of the press to
the public, but there is, I am sure, _a
corresponding duty—that of the "public
to the press. It has not only a finan-
cial duty, but, a moral duty, to give to
the newspapers the legitimate news
freely and promptly. . People who Wish
to be good citizens must co-operate
with the press in giving the public that
pect. Reporters should be treated with
every reasonable. courtesy, for they
are hard-working, faithful, honest, and,
with rare exception, gentlemanly men
in their behavior.-——J. A. Porter.
