But in " gpite of the fact that universal suffrage Js in a certain sense tyranical and is per haps a prolific cause of "shifting corrup tion," we believe that "government by the people, of the people, for the peo ple" is the best, noblest and highest jform pf government yet instituted among men.

Ths above o duion does not appear editorially, but occurs in the States man's reportorial column of legislative doings. In our opinion tlw legislature acteil wisely in setting dovn uihjii this paitieular bill. Such a law, if enacted, would give unbridled license to mali cious defamation of character. Xo per son would bo exempt from libel, so far as legal restraint is concerned, nndjr such a statute, Of course no seif-ro-speeting publisher or clitor would ;take advautiigo of "a scape-gout" law, but unfortunately the newsnapjr profession has its ghouls and vampires the same as other professions, and this class would take a mean advantage to vent their veuoin uiwii real or snpiwstitl tious enemies, restrained possibly to some extent through fear of personal accountability, Civilized society has uouse for a law that might bo the means of forcing an honest man to use the shotgun in vindication of the out raged honor of himself or family. It Is impossible to make a rotnwtion of libel "as public as wa its promulgation," for "a lie will travel around the world" to quote a traism from blunt old Ban Johnson, "while truth is putting on her boots." .it,.

SJo. per Uu- It is indeed unfortunate for the peo ple of this country that the jfoyerument is forced to iesue bonds to replenish the gold reserve. Not since the resumption of specie payment has the United States been in so" desperate a strait for juoney of final redemption. The financial condition of the treaaurv is not only strained, it is critical. The great banks of the country are hoard ing gold and forcing bond issues for the deliberate purpose of driving gold to a premium. ' There can be no other satis factory reason assigned for the unpre cedented hoarding of gold nov going on. ' o sane person believes that the pre sent bond purchase of $03,000,000 in gold will afford the treasury only tem porary relief. There will be another gale of bonds within four months, unless hereisan unexpected and improbable increase in the revenues of the govern ment. The "endless chain" process of drawing gold out of the treasury will continue with increased acceleration, and the present congress appears to be impotent as a newborn babe to give the government any financial relief. It is a sad commentary uon the statesman ship of the democratic party that it ha signaliy failed to develop a leader with the ability to crystalize its disorganised 1 Tub people are anxiously asking questions why the banks continue to hoard gold. Tho J'uw York World, u straight out gold standard organ, re cen tly put the quoHtion of gold hoard ing directly to the New York banks, aud the following is its comment upon their replies: "The World has asked the banks why they aro hoarding $S1,- 000,000 of gold for which they have absolutely no use whatever. Their re plies are evaf-ive, shifty, insincere. They have no obligation payable in gold. Their notes are redeemable not by themselves but by the government, and not in gold but in greenbacks. The checks drawn by their depositors nre payable in paper alone, and in fact are paid in nothing else. There is no pos sible reason for them to hoard gold ex cept that they expect a premium upon it or that they wish to forco the govern ment to borrow money which it does not need. Their talk about country banks occasionally demanding gold re mittances .is folderol. They can go tt the sub-treasury upon every such oc- ! rasion and exchange greenbacks for gold in any quantity they please. The banks stiil owe to the public an answer to The World's questions." T:is pre.-ent legislature has in-en dis appointing in many particulars. 'l ineiuUirs were elected upon a platform that sounded the bUt-in of reform mi l retrenchment in stato and municipal government. If these men were sin cere and honest when appealing to the suffrage uf the people, and we do nut question their good intentions, ti' fierce senatorial brawl into which thev have been precipitated has caused t'len. to lose sight of the reai issues upon which they were elected. Only a f.w ii-eni! laws have been enacted mi 1 hardly a single obnoxious law repealed. There now remains only three more days of legislation, including ti.;y, and it is quite probable that us much harm us good will be accomplished iu the mean time. It is folly to expect the present con- iriYsa to vive the country any remedial o n - financial legislation. Tio democratic party is completely at s:?a on the cur rency qtieetion and it is too lata in the day to harmonize the waning faction". The extreme golditcs anil the, extreme silverites are the real obrtructloni-t to conservative legislation on tho money question. Under existing c-.md'iior.s it would 1x3 uiiwirfJ legislation for the United States to attempt to carry any more silver than the coinage of its oivn product, and conservative men of both parties reaii.e this .'act.
