For quite a time after the infamous
act was accomplished, people were
slow to believe that the silver dollar,
which had been the standard coin
since 1793, and was actually worth
three cents more than the gold dollar,
had been demonetized, and made
worth less than a paper dollar, by an
act of the American Congress ! Prom
inent members of Congress deolared
that no such act had passed. Rut it
was found that the deed had been
done. It was accomplished by one of
the "tricks" of legislation, thought
to be peculiar only to western Terri
tories twenty years ago. A provision
was "sandwiched," or In western par
lance "tacked on to" a bill for the os
tensible object of reorganizing the
mint. Recent exposures show that a
man named Earnest Ley d of London,
a representative of the Rothchlld's
money power, was eent to this coun
try with a half million dollais to
"manipulate' our congress on the
coin question and he succeeded, it
seems. Judge Kelley, of Philadel
phia, a member of the House at that
time, and chairman of tho committee
on coinage, is out in a letter declaring
the act demonetizing the silver dollar
a Irnua perpetrated on congress by
gross misrepresentations made in the
Interests of the gold ring. It is now
charged that Boutwell, then Secre
tary of tho Treasury was one of the
number "behind the curtain," and
who knew what was being done.

A telegram to the East from Lin
coln regarding crop prospects in Ne
braska: We are in the midst of the finest
harvest ever known in theState. All
fear of grasshoppers have died long
ago, and not a Uefd in the State has
suffered damage by them. The har
vest commenced in the Republican
Valley ten days ago. Greater atten
tion has been paid this year to raising
barley and rye, and it has succeeded
adml rably . The barley is largely har
vested, and the yield is much greater
per acre than last year, and the quan
tity much better, being stained bnt
very little. Muoh of the rye harvest
ed shows a very heavy yield. The
kernel Is usually plump and solid.
The wheat harvesting begun here bids
fair to be magnificent, nil and more
than anticipated. Corn although held
back by cold weather, and rain, is
gaining with amaziug rapidity, and
the crop promises well. Oats, flax,
and millet yields heavier than any
former year. Potatoes look well. A
prominent agriculturist- says there
never was In any State a more prom
ising yield. Thens are not granaries
enough In some counties to hold half
the grain being harvested. The
wheat is uniformly plump and heavy,
and the quality equal to any grown In
Southern Illinois or MIohlgan. Ne
braska will show a good balance sheet
this season.

The Republican State Committee of
Mississippi met a few days ago, and,
concluding to disband the party in
that State, adjourned sine die. They
issued an address to excuse this ac
tion, and the address is a most curious,
contradictory, Illogical, and withal
sickening thing. The reasons given
for giving up the contest are some of
the very best for continuing it. They
say:
Wo have confidence in the wisdom
of President Hayes, and paralyzed
and powerless as we are, we profound
ly regret any effort, coming from any
quarter, to weaken his arm, or which
might tend In the slightest degree to
render unsuccessful the high experi
ment in statesmanship which he is
now making.
The facts of history speak for them
selves : Fraud, intimidation and vio
lence have practically disfranchised the
Republican party in this State; and
until the time shall come when we
can stand erect in any presence bb
freemen and assert and enforce our
rights at the ballot-box, we believe it
to be the part of wisdom to refrain
from the unequal and hopeless oon
test. In conclusion, we desire to add that
our aotion Is not influenced by any
want of faithful adhesion to the prin
ciples of the Republican, party. We
confidently believe that upon the suc
cess of those principles depends the
perpetuity of the government itself,
but we also believe that itlsexpedlent
for the Republican party to retire
from the politioal arena in this State.
They "confidently believe that up
on the success of Republican princi
ples depends tho perpetuity of the
government," yet for fear "to weaken
the arm of the President," they will
refuse to lift a hand or "speak a word
In defence of those principles and
they retlro the Republican party
"from the political arena."

An Inter-Ocean Bismark special
The Silver Question.
New York Graphic
It may be worth while to re-state
the poims made in an article in a re
cent number of the Ranker's Mag
azine on the silver question which we
published last Saturday. Briefly, they
may be summarized as follows :
1. The report of the British Silver
Commission of last year shows that,
measured by general commodities,
gold excepted, silver has not lessened
In value throughout the world.
2. The prime cause of the appreci
ation of gold, for such is the real phe
nomenon shown by the course of
prices, was the demonetization of sil
ver in Germany and the limit put to
the silver coinage of the Latin Union.
3. Statistics prove that gold is tho
more uncertain metal as regards value.
The annual product of gold within
the century has varied tenfold, while
silver has only varied twofold. If
only one metal Is to be used as a basis
for currency, silver should be that
metal on account of Its more general
use. its greater stability of production
and its much slighter variations in val
ue as compared with other articles.
4. The silver dollar was the unit of
our monetary system for eighty years
and up to 1873. Legally and equitably
every debt due by the United States
can be discharged in the silver dollar
as is expressly provided in every law
authorizing indebtedness passed by
the Congress of the United States.
5. Silver has been in use as money
in two-thirds of the world for the last
4,000years. Germany has become poor
notwithstanding its immense indem
nity from France, because of its at
tempt to banish silver from its circu
lation. France, on the other hand,
has been enriched by reataining the
bi-metalllo basis of its currency.
The above points should be borne
in mind in the discussion of this sil
ver problem. The facts with regard to
gold and silver were very well known
to the con temporaries of Jefferson and
Hamilton, both of whom, after ex
haustive researches into the argu
ments and bearings of the case, adopt
ed a bi-metallio baBis for the currency,
but our public Is not well instructed
In questions relating to the ourrency,
and much light needs 4q bo thrown
upon it.

SEWS SUMMARY.
Tho President recently stated to a
gentleman from Kansas, who called
on him. to ascertain whether the civil
service rules would apply to pereons
holding o 111 co In tho Kansas Stats Re
publican Association, that, "If the
Associations were of a social character
there was no objection to their con
tinuance i bnt politics must be ee chew
ed, .The President distinctly stated
that no political services can be ren
dered by government emploj'es at any
time while he holds such position,
even though it does not interfere with
his. duties, as Lt Is his intention to for
ever divorce politloa and the oivll ser
vice so far as in him lies the porwer."
Good for the President.. Anything
that Is worth doing ia worth, well doing.
The Turks-are notyet making muoh
resistance to Europe, say the corres
pondents, whloh faot, BSBumedoroth
erwlse, affords a splendid opportunity
for said correspondents to do a great
deal of guessing as to. tbe whys and
wherefores. What one of these Eu
TODfian correspondents oan't gueBS-at-i
hit or miss, Is pot worth guessing at..
And they write for their papers oolp
umnsof gaess work and surmlslngs
regarding the wax In tbe absence of
-knowledge. fust like anybody on this
side of the seas might do equally as
well.
The President's noted order to feder
al office-holders forbidding them to be
members of political exeoutive com
mittees, or of party conventions, prob
ably went to the extreme verge of po
litical propriety, and certainly the
Bplrit of tho American people has re
volted from the prohibition to a con
siderable extent. But if the recent
interpretation of the order, reported
by our dispatches, in a conversation 'al
leged to have taken place between tbe
President and a citizen of Kansas be
correctly Btated, the administration
has run wild upon tbesubjeot. and the
scheme will be doomed to inevitable
failure. State Journal.
What fairness is there In longwlnd
ed arguments based on what thePres
Ident, "by ourdlspatohes," is reported
to have said, when we have his pro
mulgated order, with his name at
tached , stating just what part in pol
itics his ofllce .holders may take.
They may vote, and speak or write
their political views, says the "noted
order,"but must not take part in con
ventions. We Interpret what we
know the President has eald, to mean
that office-holders may take a reason
able part in politics, and only a
disposition to "run the machine,' or
positions on oommittees or in conven
tions laying them liable to the charge
of controllng, will meet with tho dis
approval of the Administration. We
do not think ourselves that the Presi
dent can go any farther with this
matter without "running it into the
ground," but we propose to wait un
til he tranBeendsa fair interpretation
of his order, and not presumptiously
find fault on unauthentic reports or
dispatches.
We believe the Secretary aoted from
honest motives,, but he must be labor

New York Times: President
Hayes' friends, who are his friends
because tbey believe bis announced
policy of reform to be a sound one,
have confidence Is his good Intentions
and would be very glad to see them de
monstrated beyond all doubt by his
acts ; but they cannot find In such in
cidents as that of the Baltimore col
lectership any very effective evidence
of his earnestness or efficiency in ap
plying his polioy.
Everybody knows that to err Is hu
man and nobody blames Secretary
Tzschuok simply because he is mista
ken. But he seems to have
got the idea in his head that
he was put upon the Repub
lican tioket for the position he now
holds because he is a statesman.
Nothing could bo further from the
truth, and we hasten to correct him.

Springfield Republican : When the
question was pending no amount of
boring or dredging could find out
whether Tilden was for the electoral
arbitration or not. He was reported
both ways, probably with equal oor

creetly 'dodged. Now, it Is explicitly
olaimed for him that he never believed
in it, and was always opposed to it.
