AS TO tlESVOSSlnlUTT. Nothing will bo gained by Intruding partisanship Into tlio discussion of the financial situation , The serious problem - lom that confronts the country must bo dealt with wholly upon practical lines , with which politics can properly hnvo nothing to do. The democratic organs are therefore making n grave mistake In tholr attempt to place the whole re sponsibility for the existing situation upon the republicans , particularly with reference to the relations of the silver purchase law to thp. present financial conditions. As everybody ought to know who has paid any atten tion to this subject the so-called Sherman law was a compromise. A financial bill prepared by Mr , Wlndom , secretary , of the treasury , was Intro duced In the Fifty-first congress and passed the housoi after the failure of an attempt to have substituted for It a bill for the free ooinasjo of silver. The measure wont to the sonata , whore a free coinage bill was substituted and passed , The votes In both houses showed a very largo majority of the democrats to bo In favor of free coinage. The bill passed by the sonata was de feated in the house , after a prolonged struggle , only twenty-two domoo'rats voting against It. Both the house and the scnnto bills were then sent tea a conforanco committee , which finally reported the Sherman act as it now stands. Efforts made In the last congress - gross looking to the rcucal of the silver purchase law were defeated by the demo crats , notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Cleveland oxcrtod all hly influence with his partisans in behalf of repeal. The simple truth is that in both the Fiftieth and Fifty-first congresses a largo major ity of the democrats were for free coinage. The democratic party cannot possibly cscapo from this record. It Is also a mistake on the part of republicans to charge the responsibility for the financial and commercial distrust upon the present administration. It is doubtless true that the radical changes in the fiscal policy of the country threatened by the democratic-party and the want of commence in financial and business circles in the ability ot that party to give the country a wise mon etary policy , have had an influence in producing the existing conditions , but it in only fair to say that the real causes existed before the present administra tion came into power. The inflated cap italization of the trusts and the reckless expansion of credits woro" prevalent con ditions created long prior oven to the election of Cleveland , and these have had chlolly to do with prpdueing the disturbance and depression through which the country is now passing. It is not to bo doubted that were the admin istration republican instead of demo cratic the situation would not bo ma terially different. Possibly confidence would not have been quite so severely shaken had the republican party been successfuLin the last presidential elec tion , but it is entirely evident that a condition had been reached in the finan cial and business affairs of the country which tendered a change- inevitable and which a di'lTcront political result in 1892 could'n'rit havoaverted , though it might huvo s'omowhat ' .mitigat.ed the cppio- quenccs. It ought to be obvious to men of all parties * that partisan recrimination can do no possible good in the present con- ingcncy and may do much harm. The demand is for the highest order of prac tical statesmanship , for sound common sense and for that patriotism which de sires the general good. There is no caller or justification for the exercise ot par tisanship , or for the exhibition of sec tional prejudice. IlOXOltlAO A AAVAI , HERO , Ono of the croat names in the naval history of the United States perhaps 11 should bo bald of the world is that ol David G. Farragut , the hero of Now Orleans and Mobile. In the illustrious alnxy of naval commanders whose deeds have given the American navy ti dlstinguihhcd place In tlio history ol maritime warfare none is more eminent than the modest and intrepid' admiral whobo services in the war of the re bellion were of the highest value and importance to the union cause , The world is not accustomed to paying its highest honors tc those who do battle on the seas. In every land the successful commanders of armies have always received the greatest tributes of popular applause and national honor. The naval heroes of England do not shard equally with the greatest soldiers the homage of the people and the same is trtio of the othoi European nations. America is noi different , and while this people is noi forgetful of the achievements of Far ragut and Foote , they are ovorshadowoi in the popular mind by thoao of Gran and Sherman and Sheridan. There was unveiled In Boston las Wednesday n statue to Farragut , am the occasion was a mamorablo ono ovci for that city. The address was dollvcroc by Ex-Govornor Rico of Massachusetts and was a most eloquent tribute to tin services of the distinguished admiral Farragut was of pure Spanish blood , oni of his ancestors having boon distin gulshod us an admiral In the navy a Spain in the thirteenth century. Th father of David G. Farragut came to thl country early in the revolution , am sorvcd gallantly througli the ontlro con flict. Farragut was coramUsloned a midshipman in the American navy bu fore ho was nine years old , and I : 1812 , when ho was but eleven year old , ho served on the Essex and pat tlciputed in some of the most dosiorut ] battles over fought upon the occur His own diary recorded the faot tha in the memorable fight between th Essex and the British vessels ho pot formed the duties of captain's aid quarter gunner , powder boy , nnd whal over olfao was required of him , glvin evidence ut that early ago of his horoi qualities. When the rebellion brok out the influences surrounding Fui-ragu were such us might have led a loss loyc and coiibolontlous man to take side against the government , but ho novc for a moment hesitated as to his duty t cast his lot with the union , and ho wa of very great service In the work < providing a naval force. What ho di ut Now Orleans and at Mobile ought 1 bo faml'iar ' history to every school bo ; nnd the value of those achievements to the union cause It would bo Impossible to overestimate. The personal characteristics of Ad * mlral Farragut wore not less admirable than his qualities as a naval commander. A devout , though not n demonstrative Christian , ho was always , said Governor Rico , hopeful , generous , trustful nnd solf-rollnnt. " As a man ho was dignified and self-possessed , proud of the services rendered to his country , but the incar nation of modesty. "Thoro was not the slightest condescension in his bearing ; ho had nothing of the austere manner ism of men who are great ( or think they are ) In little things , but all his inter course was frank , cordial and sincere Tints in nil respects David G. Farragut was a man worthy to bo honored by his countrymen nnd to have his memory perpetuated as a citizen and n hero whoso example in every way is worthy of emulation. " TUB OUTLOOK FOll KXtyKTS. The exports of grain during the last two months have been exceptionally largo for this seasdn of the year , and the reports regarding the discouraging condition of the European crops Indicate a vigorous demand for American breadstuffs - stuffs throughout tuo season. It Is stated that all the available ocean-going tonnage Is now under charter for this purpose and the grain exporting houses nro looking for moro. A dispatch from London of a week ago stated that the fields of England , Franco nnd Germany are brown Instead of green , duo to the long continued drouth , nnd that most crops were beyond saving. There has boon rainfall slnco this report , but it does not seem to have improved the situation to any important extent. A dispatch from Berlin of a few days ago stated that in consequence of the scarcity ot hay , maize and fodders the government Intends to prohibit the export of thesearticles. . Hay is soiling at an unprecedented price in England and heavy shipments have boon made from this country. The high tariffs of European countries on fodder and simi lar articles have boon suspended tem porarily. It thus appears that while the demand for American wheat and flour this ycaV promises to bo largo , the prospect is also favorable for Increased exports of corn. There is another interesting feature of the situation. The scarcity and high price of food for animals has caused an unusual number to be killed , so that all kinds of fresh moat are selling at the lowest prices ever Known. This must result sooner or later in a scarcity of moats , and consequently an enlarged demand mand upon this country. Taken alto gether , therefore , the outiook seems extremely - tromoly favorable for an extensive export movement from the United States for months to como , only limited , it maybe bo , by our ability to meet it from sur plus products. It Is judicious not to count too confi dently upon a foreign market , experi ence having shown that it is easy te overestimate the possibilities in this direction , but if the promise now hold out should bo realized it would have a most important effect upon the financial .situation. If for tho.next six months wo should reverse the trade movement of the last six and sell Europe more than we buy ono of the most serious dif ficulties in the monetary situation would bo removed. At any rate the prospect as to exports can bo viewed by the agri cultural producers of America with sat isfaction. THE decision of the state supreme iourt defining the rights of Indians whc have severed their tribal relations and taken lands in severally as citizens ol the state , handed down on Thursday last , is in accord with a number ol opinions in the courts of other states and in the United States courts. Onl a few days ago the federal court ren dered a similar opinion in a similar case , whore the rights of the Puyallup In diana , who had taken their lands in severalty - oralty , were in question. It establishes the fact clearly that when an Indiar has accepted an allotment of land froir the government , taken possession thorool and otherwise complied with the law o : 1887 , providing for the allotment o ; lands in severalty to the Indian ! on the various reservations , he becomes entitled to his patent nnd hii citizenship attaches with all the rights that pertain thereto. Even the actual issuance or receipt by an Indian of th < patent for the lands allotted to bin under the act is not necessary to constl tuto him a citizen of the United States The provisions of this law are so clearli defined that it seems strange anyom should attempt to question Its constltu tionality or the rights of Indiana undoi it. Decision after decision sustains it validity , nnd yet these naturalized citizens zons are constantly harrassed by boinf called into the courts to establish thai ] citizenship and defend their right thereunder. The Sioux Indians li South Dakota , as well as the Indians o : the reservations in the various states who have taken up lands , are In th < snmo position as such Indians in No braska. ThU decision puts an end ti such legislation in this stuto nnd will gi far to exact the recognition of the right of these now cltizons in other sections. Foil the information of these whom 1 may concern Commander-In-Chiof We ! sort of the Grand Army of the Ropubli wishes it understood that ho noyer wa u general In the army , never was a got oral In the militia , and that his prosor position gives him no such title. HI actual rank when mustered out of th volunteer eorvlco on account of dlsobl Ity from wounds was sergeant majoi As that Is not n convenient tltlo t handle , if these who address the con mandor will either so nominate him c lay aside all titles , the conslderutio will doubtless bo appreciated. Con mandor Wolsert was too good a so Idle to masquerade at this distance from th war with a rank whoso insignia h never woro. THE method pursued in assossln banks Is fundamentally wrong , Undc the system adopted some years ago 01 bankers uro virtually their own asso uors. They make a return to the con inlsslonors and pluco a value on thol own stocks. It Is an open secret tin five or six of these .brinks act tn concert in computing their taxable assets on a basis agreed upon among themselves. No other class of taxpayers would bo permitted to combfiio nnd fix property valuations by provlcMft agreement. So long as such favoritism continues there will bo general dissatisfaction with our revenue laws nnd system''of ' local taxa tion. The rent mass "of taxpayers will insist that the burdens'shall ' txs equally distributed on the 'property of the banker , the morcluftil , the manufacturer and wage-worker.

It nppoirs by n dlsp.ttch from Manchester hat many business men In thut great British rndo center fear that "tho increasing dlvor- jcnco of vnluo between the rupee and silver vlll ultimately break down the oillclal basis in which it is sought to glvo it a cold vnluo. " I'hls dread has a good reason for being , nnd it the same tlmo It foreshadows n contin gency fraught with Important consequences or the United States , England and , ho rest of the world , The 'olllclal basis" of the value of the rupee mentioned Is the exchange rate of 3'J cents which the British government has put upon that coin. The silver in the coin Is todny worth In the market only nbout 25 cents , und the tendency Is rapidly down ward. Demonetization of silver In the Jnitod States would send It down further. Then England would have the task pre sented to her of preserving nn established mrlty between gold nnd ttiis silver : olu on a stcaillly falling market for the alter. Could sho. or would' she , perform this task ? Hardly , , . Here Is the opportunity for the United States to secure an international romonoti- zation of silver. The United States must stop silver purchases at the earliest possible moment. It Is compelled to do this Irre spective altogether of the contingent influ ence of this policy on Great Brltalr. in favor of the establishment of an international ratio between gold nnd silver. An enrly suspension of all silver purchnses whatever jy the government Is Imperative if the sil ver clement of the currency Is to bo held up to a par with gold. The Immediate effect of suspension would bu to make the silver portion of the circulating medium stationary and to increase the gold portion both relatively and absolutely , for ; ho disappearance of the silver menace would bring back from Europe much of the jold which the silver dilution of the cur rency sent out The ultimate cffocU would jo to rniso up difficulties to England , which would compel that country , in her own In terest , to join with the double standard nations in staying the downward course of silver and In averting the disastrous effect on international trade which this state of things would produce. The United States , that Is to say , has now a chance to force an International agree ment regarding sih-or which will solve this problem for many years to como. England all along has been the chluf stumbling block to an arrangement of this sort , and England , toprotoolhor Interests In Indln , nswcll M to save her citizens nt homo who hnvo deal ings with India , or who tvro In any way concerned corned In the trade with thiit locality , will bo compelled to move for a congiuss of thd nations to nvcrt the perils which n continued fall In silver would precipitate * . The CPSSIV tlon of purchases by the United States , when It takes plnco , will bnvo a moro depress. Ing effect on the stiver market than Indian dnmonotli.itlon has had , nnd Great Britain , because of the extent of her commercial relations with silver cun roncy countries , will suffer moro thnn nnj other nation. . Then a cry for relief from thU > tilstrc.ss will go up from Manchester nnd thb rest of her great tr.tdu centers to which Kuglnud will bo compelled to listen.

Ho bought , for n mere song , land through which the now Prlnco Ue-gcnt avenue was to bo can-led , nnd then sold the land to the government nt n high price. The court , although concurring ns to the facts , fined the journal hccnuso It had overstepped the bounds of permissible InuRtmgQ In bringing the scandal to light.
