It Will Not Down. The silver question. remarks The New York Herald is like the ghost of Ban. quo. which would not down at Macbeths bidding.

The Herald utters a truth here the profundity of which it evidently fails to comprehend for it goes on to argue that after the Sherawu law is repealed the' silver question should be left to settle itself. Hut this is precisely what it will not do. Both parties have practically Ignored it in their platforms hut it will not Ignored. It has no regard for the repose or political organizations anti it will con tnue to vex nil parties until it is disposed of in accordance with the decrees of jus- tice and common sense. It is surprising indeed that The Herald which is admittedly a great newspaper should have editorial views so ruH- row that it can see only one side of this great question.

In the very act of chronicling the importance of the issue. The Herald tries to dismiss it with a whiff of the breath. It says the question would Mown at the bidding of parties. Will it down at the bidding of newspapers or even at the bidding of congress Nothing is less lllrely. We may be wry sure that a question which the great lead- ers cannot dispose of by Ignoring It width the great parties- cannot smother- will not vanish at the behests of those who chance to hold positions or responsibility.

id it Her occur to The Herald that a. question which party leaders cannot ignore must possess the prints element of importance If it were merely a fad a delusion It would not survive the measures of suppression that have been to to it. Under these circumstances would it not be well for those who desire to ignore the question to earn a degree or repose by facing the situation fairly and squarely and agreeing to a settlement that will take the whole matter out or partisan politics It is useless to talk about a repeal or the Sherman law as if that event Wt-re a patent and sovereign method of giving the silver question Its stroke. The repeal of that ridiculous and dangerous act will not repeal its results. Wipe it from the statute books and tile silver question becomes more important than ever.

Those who nave charge or affairs cannot escape their responsibility in the matter by agreeing to ignore it. It is queer that such chroniclers of public opinion as The Herald cannot get the facts into their minds that the silver question is prominent because the people have made it so that it is important the people have made it Important. It is queer. too that they do not perceive that the attempt to repeal the Sherman law will reopen the whole question and that it will at once become the most Important question before congress or the people. It seems to us that at this stage of the game such newspapers as The Herald even if they are unable to view the issue In its entirety would understand that the Sherman law ineffective as it Is cannot Lie repealOO until toe monometatusts are In the humor to descend from their high horse and engage in compromise legislation.

Such is the fact nevertheless and when the matter comes up and gets under headway we shall have tile pleasure of calling the attention of our metropolitan contemporary to some of the accompanying developments and It will then agree with us that the silver issue is indeed an issue that will not down. An Old Story. And so the strike at Homestead is off It is the old story. Two weeks ago there was a big strike in New Orleans but it collapsed. We believe that the working millions of this republic have their grievances and if there is a way to redress them we are going to do our level best to have the proper remedy applied to the evil.

The democratic party has been. the party or the people from the time of Jefferson and we have the firmest confidence in its ability. under the coming admlnlatra. tion to satisfactorily solve many of our gravest problems. In the recent national contest plutocracy was defeated by democracy.

Henceforth there will be no more class legislation no more favoritism no more profligate squandering of the people's money. Our burdens are going to be lighter. Taxation will be placed upon a just basis. Our commerce will be unfettered and the demands of the outside world will give every American producer a. market for his work and his wares.

During the next generation there will be little provocation for strikes. At best they win be the crudest remedy that could be devised. They generally fall. They are expensive. They widen the breach between capital and labor.

After all capital and employers are human. They like to be on the right side of public opinion. Censure wilts them and praise is sweet. The leaders of the workingmen should study human nature and their conclusions. Let them make It a point to be Just and moderate In their demands and they wm always find public sentiment on their side.

Then they will win. They will not have to resort to strikes or to violent methods. The people and their lAwmakera will see that the toners get their righto. But the country Is against strikes against lawless- ness against violence. The Intelligent American workman will find It to be his Interest tol take his stand for peace and order and in the long run he will find that it pays better than the best planned strike.

Delay lleanl Haste. Some of the democratic brethren who have been fluttered anH made nervous by republican bluster In regard to an extra session declare as they tan them- selves with their hats that there should be no hasty tariff legislation. "Don't rush things please they cry. Look at the condition we are already In. The brethren are right In protesting against hasty tariff legislation.

We want nothing of that sort for it would be undeniably worse than no legislation at all. But did it ever occur to the flustered brethren that the postponement of all preparations for tariff legislation-even Ute preliminaries for more than So year can mean nothing less than liasty lion. Let us say that no extra session Is called. The new congress meets In De- comber 1893. Then comes the holiday adjournment and some time in January 1894 the preliminaries for tariff reform will be suggested.

A little later thy will be arranged. Those who have the bus- ness in charge will want to make some sort of reasonable showing In time for the congressional elections in the fall of The way. and means committee will be under whip and spur for purpose. But what can be accomplished in the way of tariff reform In 1894 even by means of hasty legislation Nothing ab solutely nothing. The new tariff law cannot ho put into operation at once.

The interests that are affected by It must have time to put their affairs In order. Consequently if there is no extra session if there is au unnecessary and a witless postponement for a year or more the democrats will go before the country In the fall campaign of 1894 with nothing but a record or unMfllled promises. Nobody knows what the result would be but if we are to judge the future by the past the democrats will lose the house In 1894. This Is the record of nearly all the administrations and it is tine mainly to the Impatience and disgust of the vot- era who do not clearly understand the workings of our system. They perceive that the party they have placed In charge is apparently in no greater haste to carry out their will.

than the party they have ousted and they take the first and most convenient method of showing the dig. pleasure. We therefore desire to ask the flustered brethren whether there would be as much unseemly haste" In calling an extra session next spring and proceeding deliberately to reform the tariff as there would be In waiting for the regular session and going ahead with a rush to reform the tariff in time to affectthe fall elections of 1894 This Is a. question to be carefully considered by the party leaders and it should be settled without regard to the blustering attitude of the whipped organs of the minority party. The people have given the democrats II.

commission not only to reform the tariff but to undertake such other legislation as will carry out the repeated pledges of the party. That much Is certain. With this commission goes the right and the duty of the party to bring the promised reforms about as rapidly and as effectually as is consistent with the Importance of the Interests Involved. Ever since the war there has been a disposition and a tendency on the part of the democrats to act on the They have gone about their business In a timid tentative way. It there was an ex- cuse for this it no longer exists.

The democratic policy from first to last has been so overwhelmingly endorsed by the people that there can no longer be' any doubt as to their desires. There Is not a particle of uncertainty as the part the people expect the democrats to play. We think. therefore that the tentative pro- gramme should be laid aside. The party should proceed to carry out Its pledges boldly and confidently.

An Epidemic of Insanity. Within the past week our local and telegraphic columns have told the story of several notable cases of Insanity here and elsewhere. Apparently without any known cause respectable citizens In different sections of the country have suddenly and without any warning leaped from a. condition of perfect sanity Into the wildest and most murderous excesses and upon Investigation It has been ascertained that they were maniacs. What Is there in the American mode of living that explains these epidemics of insanity Undoubtedly there Is a cause but what is It and what is the remedy The outlook is anything but hopeful It this tendency Is to increase and we are to look forward to what Tame characterizes as the insanity of nations.

It gives a man an unpleasant sense of insecurity to think that his business associate or companion after a lifetime of decorous conduct is liable at any moment to go gunning for Mm and then be acquitted on the ground or mental Irresponsibility. There la something wrong in the Amen- can up but it will puzzle the wisest expert to point' it out Bismarck's Methods. The newspapers of Europe are making So great outcry over Bismarck's recent statement that he deliberately falsified the telegram which precipitated the Franco-Prussian war. It Is now said that the German statesman is without scruples and without shame and that he Is the greatest calm. tnal of his generation.

Perhaps this will not surprise close observers and students of history. Bismarck simply followed the methods of European diplomacy. Before his day as great a man us Napoleon made lying one of the chief factors of statesmanship. The French emperor never hesitated to tell a lie when he could mate It plausible and gain thJngby it. It was all wrig ot course but doubtless a2 th dlplotota tiatVtlme vi were trying to.

outdo each other. In falsehood. In this country we bad a notable example In the person of General Sherman who charged the of Columbia upon General Wade Hampton and then admitted. years afterward that he fabricated the story in order to destroy Hampton's popularity in South Carolina. Evidently Sherman was built on the ha- marekian plan.

It Is no new thing to discover that falsehood plays a. prominent part in the worlds politics. There are many great men who believe that the affairs of nations cannot be conducted upon the principles of the New Testament. Th average Englishman for Instance Is a moral man but the policy of his country has always been one of oppression and spoliation. To some extent this applies to our own people.

We believe in standing by our contracts and respecting the rights of others but how can we justify the governments treatment of the Indians and the Chinese Bismarck' deserves condemnation but what shall we say of our political methods Is it not true that falsehood Is II. very powerful factor In our public affairs and ba it not frequently determined great questions of peace and war Belike if the republicans keep up thela bluster some of the brethren will want to postpone tariff reform and other reforms for another fouryears. The Sherman silver bill is giving the mo- nometallists more trouble than it is anybody else. And it is down on the programme that their troubles will be largely increased. A few of the younger republicans are gradually recovering from the jolt but the older bucks are still in a.

bidfix. The information Mhat Mr. Cleveland is opposed to an extra session appears to have bet cut bills. The sham pensions will doubtless hue to go. Davenport says he will stay in office until i legislated out.

And yet The New York side is opposed to an extra session. lion. C. Thomas a prominent lawyer of Deicer. Colorado.

has recently published his lecture on The Logic of honest Money livers before the Central Business Colr of Denver. last September. The lecture exposes the fallacies of the advocates of th gold standard and presents an unanswerable argu. meat from free sliver coinage. Mr.

Thomas Is a native of Georgia who won farna and fortune in the west. His book win or. ate a sensation. The NVw York Herald says If tie comet discovered by Holmes on the night of Novem- her 6th really proves to he a part of the long lost cornet of Blela as some astronomers re now Inclined to believe the hairy star" will be a very close neighbor of ours on November the date or Its nearest approach to the earth. It Is not likely to hit us.

famine pestilence conflagrations and other evils. while many well ed ucated persons are tearful that harm may be done either' by a comet striking the earth tnd shooting It to pieces or by falling Into the sun and producing such au Increase of solar heat as to burn up our planet. If a comet should strike the earth head on no one can ay exactly what the consequences will be On- the generally accepted theory that the nucleus of comets Is composed of small particles the particles would be dissipated by friction with the atmosphere long before they passed through the fifty miles surrounding the earth. U. however the nucleus Is composed of heavy masses.

If we are to credit a story that comes from Cincinnati. dogs may made to play an Important part In our courts. A else arose In one of the municipal courts there the other day over the possession of two handsome mastiffs.

CARL HARMSENS FUNERAL It Will OecUI' from the First ProbytariaB Church This Morning at 10:30 O'clock. The funeral of Mr. Carl mason will occur this morning from the FirstPresby terian church and the ashes of that. good man will be laid to rest in Oakland cemetery. Throughout the day there were many callers at the saddened home and many were the beautiful tokens of sorrow that were left in the way of exquisite never knew a better man than Mr.

ifarmren said a well-known gentleman yesterday. He was the happiest marl I ever met. He loved everybody and as a consequence everybody loved him espec ially the little children. He was poor in pocket Ion. while others were engaged in making money he was laying up Ms treasures in heaven.

He was a millionaire in his Christian faith and now he is wearing a crown of stars. Mr. Harmsen was a good man and a true Christian. He spent his life in the cause of others and went about doing good. His life was gentle and more than that it was lf-e.

During all the years in which he moved along the- streets and came in contact with Ins men he scarcely soiled the image of his maker and lived each Lour like the next one was his last. He never tolerated anything impure. A speech that would grate upon a woman's ear was never welcome in his own. He never used profanity even in quotations and never uttered an unkind word against any human being. No man.

however. steeped in sin Wu beneath hit notice or beyond his efforts to redeem. It was his habit to frequently visit the jail and there. as the days go by without the sound of his accustomed footfall the wretched inmates will sigh for the touch of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice jla is still. He carried in his pocket a key to the rear door of the church and frequently during the week he entered the sanctuary for the purpose of kneeling in prayer before the altar.

Mr. Harmsen was the friend of the negro and the colored citizens of Atlanta hue sustained. a loss in his Math. For thirty-five years he was an active Christian and served the church of Goo as II teacher as a musical director as a Sunday school superintendent. as a deacon and then Ill an elder.

In addition to all that he never forgot hi secular employment. It was a grand life In its summing up anti the total of it all was lore. No fitter epitaph could be engraved upon his tomb than this He worked until his limbs were weary and then the angels caught him. The hoes of such a life simple and consecrated will be felt when many a lordly name is forgotten and many. too.

the dates of whose. birth are lit the future will yet rise' up to praise him in the gates" an to be the diwiples of his Influence. The funeral will occur this morning tat 10:31) o'clock and the deacons and elders of the church will act pallbearers. In Mmor of Carl rmsn. After the evening services.

a meeting of the members and congregation of Barnett PrHby. terlan church was held. when after touching remarks were made by several gentlemen. the committee appointed for the purpose reported the following resolutions which were I mously adopted loesolved That th members and congregation of the lianett Presbyterian church have heard with sincere grief of the sudden death. this morning.
