HELP WHERE NOT NEEDED. The sfloait© finance commttee yester- i - y ; > >> « m..m1 Tnont ho toe sundry civil bill, authorizing the treas ury to Issue Interest beirina cer- tlllcaites of indebtedness to 'the extent of one hundred million dollars, to he used to paying the expenses of tho government. There is a very good chance that this amendment may he adopted. We suppose there has been no time when the most rabid enemy of ‘Mr. Cleveland was not willing to provide the means for running the gov- crnmcnit. The amendment does nott touch the merits of the controversy .which has been going on for months in congress and which has apparently wrecked tho Democratic tparty, Even if it be adopted, the government Is left in the same difficult pos.tlon as to the maintenance of the parity of the different kinds of money now alloat. It merely provides the government w.th larger revenues, -when the sec retary of the treasury has Informed congress that no increase of revenue Is necessary, tout that, on the contrary, under the operations of laws already on the statuto ibook, there will he a surplus at the end of the calendar year. If Mr. Carlisle Is right, there fore, It nrakoy very little difference whether-or iwt Use- antr-sdnsett Is adopted. It 1* true that, If It Should become a Jaw, tho government may hereafter tlnd It expedient ' to ralee money toy Issuing cert-floates of In- dehtedmos, tout that Is only a chanoe. In adopting the Amendment, ^ougresz only provides against a ptwslhle dan ger to the treasury. In refusing to authorize the government to strengthen the gold supply on favorable terms, it refuse* to extend aid of any kind that Is needed. It now proposes to offer aid where It is not asked for and to all protM.btl.ty will not bo needed. In other words, the senate nuance committee proposes to d'Xlgo the ques tion which has been at Issue, probably In the hope that In doing so It will di vert publo attenttou from the real paint at Issue. The people, however, will not lie deceived very long. Tho public w.U see that tho policy of con gress is merely one of oltstmction. The men who are nghtlng the presi dent so Uettcely do not themselves pro pose to do anything. They rave about the evils of the existing situation, tout they propose no remedy. They con tent themselves merrty with obstruct ing every measure of relief proposed and with endeavoring to excite the ani mosity of tho people towards the ad- m.nlstratlon. a Republican boss for a Democratic boss as the only result of tho election. In doing this, Mayor Strong merely kept ihe pledges which he made before ho was elected to office, tout Mr. I’latt regards his conduct as rebellious, and the dispatches yesterday reported the proceedings of a meeting, which he called, of his lieutenants from all parts of the state; to organize a war on the mayor because of that conduct. The meeting was not largely attended, and another has toeon called to meet in Albany, where Mr. Tlitt will doubtless have with him all of the men whom to the past ho has made powerful po litically by conferring offices upon them. The contest la on, therefore, be tween the boss system of government and tho system of government by Ihe people, A great deal depends on the result of Ibis contest. If Mr. TJatt, through his Influence to the legislature, or through the thorough organization which is so powerful on electon days, shall overthrow tho mayor of New York, he will have gone far to prove that government toy an Irresponsible boss has 'become permanent In this country—at least In certain states. The men In office—-members of tho legisla ture, Judges on tho bench, all the agents who under our form of govern ment have been expected to enforce the will of the people—will look, not to the people, tout to the boss. We-wlll have government by an autocrat, and an autocrat in no way responsible for his actions—not elected to his office, and holding that office, not by the popular will, but merely by the skill with which he uses means furnished toy the people themselves to control them. - — ..... _. wn I. an I'aiKiut-s'uid (mj-,. ---w- -- going on. There the boss is Mr. Dave Martin, nominally a Republican, but who prdbably knows nor cares any thing about the ideas and principles which make the Republican pirty pow erful. lie Is interested only to prac tical polities, In tho distribution of offices, in the awarding of contracts, and the other things that Involve Ihe expenditure of public money and at the same time afford opportunities for assessments for the payment of the boss* political expenses and personal enrichment. The contest in Philadel phia. Is less Important than that in New York, to that It represents a less advanced stage of tUe couflict between tho conflicting systems of government Ity boss and government toy the people. The result, however, Is very Import ant, and If ex-Governor Partisan Is elected mayor In the face of the nor mally large Republican majority to rhltudolphlj, there will bo good rea son to hope that, after aU, the system of government by tho people may toe preserved, even In those stutes where the boss system has reached us most perfect development THE DIFFERENCE. THE ROSSES FIGHT *VH LIFE. The system of government by s pri vate and Irresponsible citizen known ns a "boss," which has prevailed In certain Northern states for several yean, is being subjected -to a very vere lest at this time. In the munic ipal election In -Now York last fall, the people revolted against govern ment by "Boas" Croker and Installed in office a man pledged to conduct the business of that great city on a purer/ non-partisan, business basts. It hap- pans that he la a man strong enough and honest enough to keep bis pledge*. Empowered to do so by the legislature, he has removed a dozen or more of the more prominent office holder* and has put In their places men univer sally recognized as lit persons, by rea son of high character and large capa bility, to firtflU their duties acceptably to tho people of the city. In selecting these men. he ha* bad little regard tor party lines. They are divided almost eqtMlIy between Democrats and Re publican*. They are alike only In their tunes* for tho office* for which, the/ were selected. In choosing these men, Mayor Wrong .wilfully defied the as sumed right of Mr. Thomas C. I’latt, who I* a private citizen bnt the "hoes" | of the Republican organization of New York, to name the office holder* of the city and state. In other words, he recognized the fact that the people who elected him were in revolt against "hoar government, and refused to be nude the Instrument In substituting There Is s very strong feeling In Germany to favor of bimetallism. It was strong enough to compel the releh- stag the other day to pass by an over whelming vote a resolution In favor of an International conference, having for It* purpose the rc-e*tabll»hrac»t of the bimetallic system. But U '.* wor thy of note that nobody in Germany, not tho moat earnest friend of stiver money, thinks for a moment that bi metallism is possible except under an International agreement. Nobody pro pose* that Germany ahull undertake nlono tho free coinage of silver. The fact la admitted by all that Independ ent action by Germany .would result, not In blmetaU am. but to silver mon ometallism. Ttal* means that In Ger many the friends of sliver are making an honest tight. They arc not pro tending that because Germany Is a great empire It can llx the value of s.lvcr money by opening its mints to the while metal at a certain ratio. They do dot merely pretend that they are bimetallists, tout are bimetallists to fact. Ttoelr conduct Is In sharp contrast ■with that of tho rabid silver men of the United .States, who are not ashamed to call themselves bimetal list* while their arguments and action# prove that they are not bimetallists at aU, bat either seek to degrade our whole currency to the atlvgr standard or else are flat money men seeking to aocompksh their purpose by creating tho scarcity of money which would follow the opening of the mints to sil ver. Tbs Germans are far more hon est, and for that reason. If for no other, they are more likely to bfi’suo- cowful. Tho extravagance of our sti ver men in ttoelr denunciation of real bimetallists, like President. Cleveland and those who are acting with him, and their eager misrepresentation of the motive* and actions of theae men, are ■o apparent that though for a while they may excite the animosity of some good citizens against their iqiponents. In the end they must lose all h-ild on the confidence of the people et large. When men hare the best of an argu ment, when they know that thtdr cause I* a winning one, they -Jo not Indulge in angry villboaUon of their oppo nents. They can afford lo be good- humored. Their slttfttlon I* each a one as to breed content and good hu mor. It Is the men who know that they are thoroughly committed to a bail cause, a faffing cansc, wbo reck lessly attack the ttoiricier of their suc- coarful opponents. THEY MAKE A MISTAKE. An election will shortly i><. held In South Carolina for delv!■« to a con- aiitatlosa* Cuux-fiUvu. Guo or the un disguised purposes of tt"<o whose in fluence ltd <o the calling of ’lie conven* lion la to so change the Qualifications of electors ns practically >to <1 arrattchise a great putt of the nqgroea of the state. One result of tho calling of the conven tion with this almost a vowel Bffrpose was the holding to dolumbla a fow days ago of a convention of the colored preachers of the Stmte. Tills convention was mot very largely aitteml.il, but still seeims to have been s representative body, in that Its membership included most of the colored preacher* of any prominence In the state. The outcome of tho convention was tho formation of a ministers’ union, the adoption of a constitution, and the appointment of an executive committee. Provision was made for a thorough cam-ass et each county, tho organization of dub* to each precinct, the registration of the members of these clubs, "the “in struction of voters how and for whom to vote,” and the collection of a. tax from all members of the club to be used as a fund “for employing legal talent to test the legality of the acts by which Site laws governing n« have been enacted, and that shall bo enacted against the rights and privileges of franchise granted to us by the constitu tion of tlu> United Statics.” This means tha t the colored ministers of South Carolina have determined to organize and lead the members cf their race in a fight against the pro posed changes in the constitution that draw the color line and at the same time, as shown toy one of the resolu tions adopted, offer to trade with cither of the white factions that will make terms with them. It cannot bo dis puted tha t under our form of govern ment the colored ministers of South Carolina have a perfect right to organ ize the people of their race and en deavor to gala control of the govern ment of the state, bnt the wisdom sf heir action is seriously open to ques tion. A factional division has appeared among the white people of South Car olina and other Southern states only because of a general convlcUon that the negro is no longer a dangerous fac tor to politics. The action of these colored ministers is apt to havi; the ef fect of dlsatous ng the mtods of white men of this belief and of consolidating them for the carrying out of their pur poses. Experience has shown that they are perfectly able, no matter In how small a. minority ttoey may bo, to ac complish those purposes, apil for the colored ministers of South Carolina to challenge them to a trial -of strength seems to us a serious mistake. It 1s a mistake Out may have serious conse quences not only lo the negroes but to tho white people, wtoo when driven to gether In order to defend (themselves against tho danger of negro domlna tlon are deprived of the opportunity of work ng out the reforms which come through tho conflict of opposing pollt leal ideas. because that sort of currency would benefit certain special interests, which to many senators are more precious thou .the general interest of the people. It Is not to be (expected that the sen ate will favor the election of senators by -the people. In passing a resolution to favor of election of senators by the pooplo it would condemn Itself, and It is not ait all probable that such a> reso lution will ever be passed by a majori ty lnrge enough to make It effective until the senate Is faoed by a public opinion so angry as to threaten revolu tion.

Our aenatore. It Is true, do not owe their place* to the accident of birth, except to tho extent that they Inherit wealth enough to purchase their ptacee. Ho far a food many of the men who have bought eekt* In the senate have acquired their own fortunes generally, by ques tionable methods. No doubt there are some who have used Inherited wealth to purchase seate, and this I* likely to become more common ns the new mill ion* lies die off and leave their places va cant for their eons or gnandaona to pur- chaee.

Is just os bad. If not worse, than holding them by he reditary title. Tbe men who get seat* In either way are not In any sense rep resentative of the popular will.’ This la hard on dha senate, but never- tbdliws there la a great deal of truth In what the Courier Journal says. It has come to paaa that the senate represents neither the people nor the states. In olnust wry congress we see that questions Involving valuable privileges enjoyed by classes or general Interests under the laws, the senate; no matter whs* Its nominal political complexion. Is Invariably on -the side of the cl and special Inteamr*. The senate liiuualeJ toy iuu fi'itiut-ns of tbs c. tutioo to be a check upon precipitate action by the popular body-to repre sent the conservative re me of the peo ple; It baa become a bar to the papu lar will whenever tbs reform of .bus-'* Is sough*, and, st the same time, tbe repressnUAive of Itoe most radical tend- euclos’of tho rime when these tonden- c es flavor the interests or pretensions of class'.-* or special Interests. In the present congress It la the house which Is conservative on -the flnanclil qu< *- lion and responsive to the will of the people on the tax* ft on quest loo. Tbe senate consented to a redaction of tax ation only when the interests of true * and dosses ware not Involved, and to day threaten* the country -with a tie moralised and dfpraefctad currency When (Mr. Cleveland began to look around for purchasers of a now lot of bonds, the ‘treasury seemed -to be with in two or three weeks of bankruptcy. Tha-t is to say, its power to maintain the parity of the different kind* of money issued by the government seemed about (to disappear. Its stock of gold bad -been reduced to something like fifty millions, and this stock was being drawn upon at the rate of about a million and a half a day. Under these circumstances, there was no time for the government to call upon the people to co-mo to its aid by a popular subscription. lit was obliged to get gold In the quickest wuy possible, and It Is not remirirafolo that under such circumstances ft was obliged to make a. bad bargain. But In making this bad bargain, M reserved tbe right to so *lter the -terms of the oonltract, if congress would giro It authority, as to make (the bargain a fairly good one. Congress has refused tbs authority, and the toad -bargain stand*, bnt the responsibility for It is certainly not upon the administration, but on the congress which refused to allow the administration to borrow money at n reasonable rate rather -than at a high one. Ity obtaining a new supply of gold and dr.tw.ng It from Europe, the raid on -the treasury wus stopped and the danger of an immediate drop to the silver basis averted. It Is natural tha-t the rabid free silver pre» Should bo furious because tho administration achieved this result, but oven though angry, It should make seme aitttempt' to bo fair. The so-called “option” given to the purchasers of the bonds, about which they are particularly an gry, amounts to noth ng more than an agreement on -tho pant of (the govern ment to “offer” any new Issue of the bonds to the same men wbo take this loan. Tho government can offer on whatever terms It may please, and It may sell to athens If its terms are not accepted. The option, therefore, to not an option at all, and is of no viluc to the makers of the .present loan ex ( cent .thlit If a. new loan should be made, and they should still toe In possc-wvon of -the bonds they bare just bought, they would be In a better position to protect themselves against lot*. They were induced to Insist upon this condi tion, perhaps, by the experience of the syndicate which took the lust lean and lost mmey upon It, In that they give more for Iho bonds than they aro able to sell them for.

The newspaper criticism of the president’s action comes cither from newspapers com mitted like Messrs.

For instance, the Atlanta Constitution denounces the lost of the bond, bills which was defeated os reflecting the views of the Republi cans, yet In another column of the same Issue I't show* ittoa-t the Demo- fcmtto majority In the house against the bill was only 5, while the Republican majority was 32 and the Populist ma jority 10. To the 47 majority against the b:H, therefore, the Democrats con tributed 5 votes, while the Ritnnblicans lind Populists contributed 42. Yet the bill Is declared by the Constitution to be a Republican measure.

One of those laws declare* tha-t it Is the pol icy of this government to matnulh the parity of .t* gold snd silver money. It Is therefore the duty of the president to do everything in his power to main tain -that parity. When there is a raid on the treasury for gold which -threat- tins to deprive tho government of the ability (to pay gold on demand. It ts manifest, when the stock of gold is nearly exhausted, that the only rouffind of maintaining the parity of gold and silver money Is to replenish that stack Itnd -thus enable the government to pay g<kl on demand. The proposition Is a very simple one. TUe parity of the *ww kinds of money can be maintained Duly so long as one I* as easily obtaina ble as the other. This toeing true. It was the duly of -tho president to adopt whatever means wore in hi# powir to replenish the treasury’# supply of gold, and the only moans which he could employ was to borrow under the renus of tho act of 1873. Those terms were not favorable to the government, but congress, to spile of hit appeals, re fused to alter -them so that the gold necessary to maintain the parity of our different kinds of -money could be ob tain'd on favorable terms. The presi dent In all of his acts was merely car rying out tbe law, and be wus limited by the law to the means employed by him. For doing what he has done, Mr. Cleveland 1* furiously criticised by cer tain members of congress snd certain newspapers. In estimating the justice of their gtrloturcs. It may be well to Inquire if they, too, like the president, wish the law to be eofonced—favor the policy declared toy Ihe law to be tbe policy of the United States gavern- rnent?
