the purpose of fixing a date for the
county convention and the transaction
of such other business as may properly
come before the meeting.
Nrti, Brennan, Chairman.
Clyde Kino, Secretary.
This isaue ends TnE Frontier’s

A cheat many wearied statesmen are

The Stuart Ledger says June is the
month of suicides. It is also the month
of marriages. Is there any connection?
The Plain Dealer insists that The
Frontier is a "gold bag" organ. Bro.

When men interested in the defense
of the vlgilanters bet $135 that they
would be acquitted, it would look like a
sure thing.
Somebody has been unkind enough to
' remind Senator Blackburn of the adage
about the danger of putting all your
eggs in one basket.
Ir Secretary Carlisle could run the
national finances as sasily and smoothly
as he can talk he would be a model sec*
retary of the treasury.
Tns removal of Tammany’s bead*
quarters to London was a safe move on
the part of Mr. Croker, and couldn’t do
the organisation any harm.
Poor Joe Blackburn I He never wee
much of a eenator, but ae a mixer of

calculated the etayinir powere of the
democrats of his state.
John R. McLean, of New York,
Cincinnati and Washington, has an idea
that the Whitney boom is being con
ducted on a cash basis. Mr. McLean is
an expert on the subject.

Thb paragraphere are getting lots of
fun out of the Imprisonment of
McLaughlin, the ex-police inspector,
but if Me. is getting any fun out of it
he is keeping quiet about it.
Bomb people think that Attorney Gen

admirer and player of lawn tennis.
A subject for next winter’s debating
societies is found in the statement of a
judge—an Englishman, of course—that
stronger evidence is required to con
vict a woman of bigamy than would
convict a man.
Wonder what Mr. Cleveland thought
when he read the announcement that a
democratic member of the inter-state
commerce commission—Morrison—was
to be pushed for the presidential nomi
nation by the Illinois silver democrats?
Bomb wise man predicts republican
<£.' victory next year because the democrats
are disgusted with tbeir leaders. It
would be nearer right to ascribe the
coming victory to a restoration of the
faith of the people in the republican
party. _f __
Eo par as the United Statee has any
interest in the change of ministry in
England the change is beneficial, as the
conservative or tory party haa always
if been more favorable to us than the lib
eral party, although neither hae favored
or is likely to favor Uncle Sam to any
marked extent.
It is bad taste—not to use another
term—for Secretary Carlisle, in his offi
cial capacity, to remove Kentucky in
ternal revenue officials Who work for
Blackburn’s return to the senate. It ie
simply using the United States treasury
department to assist its secretary to
k,/ break into the senate.
Foes years ago the national associa
tion of democratic clubs sent out a
' Cleveland talking party, headed by the
if present postmaster general, to convert
the west and northwest. This year the
same organisation will send out a party
of anti-Cleveland talkers, led by Sena
tor Morgan, of Alabama.
Thb remarkable interest which Gar
re tson, the Omaha Bee’s resident repor
» ter at Butte, seems to have in the vigi
lante defendants in the murder trial,
would naturally indicate that they are
hie bosom friends. Perhaps they are
V his brethern under the iron-clad oath,
f To his credit, however, it can be said
that nothing was brought out in the
trial that would indicate that the cor
respondent was hunting a lost colt in
the vicinity of Red Bird on the 31st of
Isst December. His warped, one-sidel
report was an imposition on the man
: agement of the Bee and Its readers.—

A DOUBLE STANDARD.
Tbe only way a double standard of
money can be maintained ia to put tbe
same commercial value of metal In the
coin of each standard. If an actual
dollar's worth of silver bo put in tbe
silver dollar, and a gold dollar's worth
of gold in the gold dollar, then tbe gold
dollar and ' the silver dollar will both
become standards. Commercial laws
will make them such without any refer
ence to legislation. Commercial law is
superior to legislation in the fixing of
values.
It is a wholly mistaken and visionary
theory that legislation (either by one
government or by all tbe governments
in the world) can make a double stand
ard of money or of anything else. Is
it reasonable to suppose that the United
States and all Europe combined could
pass laws that would make the prices of
wheat and corn tbe same in the world’s
markets? And yet the prices of these
commodities can as easily be regulated
as the values of gold and silver. If 60
cents or 76 cents, or even 99 cents’
worth of silver is put into the silver
dollar, and both tbe gold dollar and the
silver dollar are made a legal tender
(without a gold redemption feature), it
ought to be easy enough to see that the
people would use the cheaper dollar,
and either sell or board the dollar of
greater intrinsic value. The silver do],
lar would be as good as the gold dollar
to pay debts with, but tbe gold dollar
would sell in the market by weight for a
premium. Therefore, the gold would
go out of circulation. It is simply Im
possible to keep two moneys of differ
ent intrinsic values both in circulation,
unless the cheaper money is made re
deemable in the more valuable money.
And an unlimited amount of cheap
money cannot be made redeemable in
good money.
Up to twenty years ego the ratio of
value between the two metala had been
for about two centuriee between 141 and
16 of silver to 1 of gold. Running thus
evenly It was not Impossible to have a
double money standard, and sucb stand
ard did exist in many countries.
But at times one metal or the other in
creased or decreased In value, and at
such times the more valuable metal in
every instance went out of circulation.
This is the record of history, and
many Instances may be cited. It is only
within comparatively recent years that
any country conceived the plan of mak
ing the cheaper metal redeemable in or
interchangeable with the more valuable
metal. And when silver began to be so
abundant, and to decline so greatly, all
countries, excepting the United States,
abandoned or greatly modified that plan.
—Dollars or What.
In the acquittal of the men charged
with the murder of Barrett Scott the
populists have scored another victory.
We have been censured in the past tor
calling this a political murder, but if we
were ever endined to doubt the correct
ness of our judgment we do not do so
now. The action of populist leaders in
O’Neill when the news of acquittal
reached the city, leaves no room for
doubt. They rushed around as though
beside themselves, shaking hands each
with the other and smiling and smirking
as the sweet morsel dissolved under
their tongues. It was even suggested
that a bonfire be kindled In celebration
of the event. Why this exuberant
hilarity and unseemly paternalism on
the part of men looked upon as pillars
of populism? Leaving out of the ques
tion the guilt or innocence of the men
acquitted, why has the party seen fit to
raise its hand in extenuation? The
prisoners were not high in the councils
of the chiefs, in fact were obscure and
unimportant privates in the rear rank,
not deserving the honors thrust upon
them. It would seem that the party has
made this a political case for the purpose
or vindicating a principle written In
the sands of the Niobrara with the
warm blood of a republican and a man.
Irish independence ia once more be
ing established by resolution.
Twelve men may any a man ia inno
cent, but if be ia in fact guilty the ver
dict does not bring absolution. Tbs
day ia coming shortly, at the longest,
when he will meet and know bis crime.
There may be men in robust health and
youthful spirit to whom life seems
eternal and in whose minds enter no
thought of the shadow of tha valley,
whose ears haarken not to the swash of
the turbulent waters of the 8tyx as its
waves break upon the sands at their
very feet; men to whom the everlasting
tick of the clock is no warning that
time is fleeting and in a few short hours,
or days, or months, or years they will be
called upon to lay down the burden of
life and join that silent caravan. Upon
the conscience of such creatures, we
say, the knowledge of crime may rest
complacently, but we believe the time
comes to ever rational being when he
wishes his soul free from the remem*
brance of unjust, unrighteous deeds
committed. When he has reached the
night time of' hie life and sits in the
deepening shadows, reflecting upon the
past, then will his misdeeds form in
the hollow chambers of hie memory and
steal by with ghost-like tread and smite
him with their blood-red hands as they
pass: then will his agony in part atone
for suffering inflicted and the trial sheet
of the recorder come more nearly pre
senting a balance.
