The very remarkable testimony that
Ferdinand Ward, the fnancier Of the late
firm Of Grant & Ward, has been giving
before Referee Cole indicates that he
thinks he can deceive the public
with regard to his transactions as
easily as he duped those who deposited
their money with him. He gives a. very
Straightforward account o. the immense
sums that he paid William S. Warmer,
and says that he never invested
any money for Warner, but
paid him % per cent. month
on all Of his deposits out OF the money de-
posted by others. He does not say why
he favored Warner above all his other
customers, or why ne paid him millions
OF dollars without having ever invested a
dollar Of his money in any way.
About the only inference that can be
drawn from Wards testimony is that be
and Warner were partners, and that they
shared the money that Warner drew from
the firm. 1t is not reasonable to suppose
that Ward would pay such amounts 10
Warner, to which Warner had not the
shadow OF claim of any kind, unless he
was to be benefited in some way.
Ward appears to have plenty of money,
and it is not improbable that the source
of his supply is Warner. Doubtless w ard
hopes to escape the penitentiary, and en-
JOY the wealth that 1t IS believed Warner
has hidden away for him.
There is some complaint because Ward
has so long escaped trial on the criminal
charges that ara pending against him.
The reason may be that there is still hope
of getting sufficient evidence from him to
Justify proceedings against Warner for
the recovery OF the money paid to him
by Ward. When the whole history OF
Wards transactions is made known he
will probably be accorded the rank of the
greatest swindler ever known in this
country.

II is some satisfaction to know that the
lurid speeches OF Sherman and Foraker
are not received in Ohio with enthusiasm.
In fact, the reports indicate that the peo-
pie show signs OF Impotence whenever
topics tending towards sectionalsm are
touched upon. 1t is pity that Messrs.
sherman and Foraker are so far behind
the people. Their chances of success
would be better, perhaps, if they would
avoid dead issues.

/ 1t is stated with great degree OF posi-
! tiyeness that the administration and the
representatives OF the silver interests
have reached an understanding. 1t IS a
I wdn-known fact that the President and
the Secretary of the Treasury are opposed
20 continuance Of the coinage Of the
/ silver dollar. Their expressions WITH re-
spect TO silver coinage leave no doubt on
that point. When the silver question
WAS before last Congress it was fully IN
derstoo that the administration was III
favor ofthe repeal Of the compulsory sill
yer coinage law.
When Representative Warner pre-
scented his scheme some months ago for
the settlement OF the silver question it
was announced that the administration
was against 1t because, while it provided
for the stoppage Of the coinage Of silver
dollars, it continued TO increase the vol
ume of q deprecated currency. The
Warner plan, az it was originally pre-
scented, was for the government to con-
tiuue TO purchase the same amount Of
silver that it now purchases and, instead
Of coming 1t, to issue certificates on it
Just as certificates are now issued on
the silver dollars.
The plan, it is said, that the Sdminis-
tratiou mas agreed to recommend to Con-
gress, and which is satisfactory to Mr..
Warner and other advocates OF silver, IS
substantially the Warner plan, with the
exception that the certificates are to be
fcw h1af of To
so many dollars. By this plan the value
OF the certificates will vary as the price
" silver varies. The Treasury will re-
deem a certificate at just what the amount
81 silver it calls for is worth at the time
II is presented for redemption. The silver
certificates issued upon this plan would
have some advantage over the
present certificates because they
would be worth just what they
pretended to be worth. They might
be inconvenient, because 1t would be ne
cessary TO keep acquainted with the price
If silver, and to make calculations to de-
termlne the value of certificate.
There is 40 difficulty with the present
certificates because they pass for their
ace value, but there Is lack OF conf
donce in them in view Of the fact that they
are now worth twenty cents on the dollar
less than what they cali for.
or course, it is not absolutely certain
that the administration has decided upon
any policy with regard to silver. 1t may
ne simply trying to find out the strength
Of the silver interest, and what concessions
It's advocates are willing to make, with
view to making such accommodations as
win meet the approval of congress. There
is no doubt that the administration is anx-
ious for legislation that viii avert the
evils which the continued coinage OF sill
yer threaten, and if it cannot get what it
wants it may favor taking what can be
got. This may be the foundation OF the
announcement that the administration
mas reached an understanding with the sill
yer representatives.

1t is understood that a great many
changes will soon be made in the consular
service. 1t has been deemed advisable, it
is said, to make a pretty clean sweep Of

forty may be retained, but it is doubtful if
the number will be as large as that. The
Treasury Dd@Ngtment has disallowed all
accounts recently received for expenses
incurred by our consular offices in China.
The appropriation from which these bills
are payable has been exhausted. Some Of
the consular officers who have recently
visited Washington complain bitterly Of
the insufficient provision made for the ex-
penses of consular life in the Celestial
empire. They say that while the Consuls
from England, Germany, and other coun-
tries live in good style, command respect,
and are universally recognized, the
American consular officers are compelled
to live in manner subjectlng them to
ridicule and destroying to a great extent
