OPEN DISC USSION OF THE IRE ATTY.

OPEN DISCUSSION OF THE TIRE ATTY.
The Republican Senators have acted wisely
in setting aside old-time precedents and voting
for a public discussion of the Fisheries Treaty.
This course has been repeatedly urged upon
them by THE TRIBUNE, and has finally been
followed. with only one dissenting vote. The
Treaty has been openly discussed by the
Dominion Parliament and no evil consequences
have resulted. Publicity will be equally harm
less and advantageous at Washington. 1t will
exercise a restraining influence upon partisans
on each side and will educate and inform the
public on one Of the great questions Of the
day. If the Treaty be rejected as we hope
and believe that it will be, England and
Canada will know what are the motives and
reasons for the Senate's non-concurrence. 1t
will be much better to have the facts brought
to light and the arguments publicly rehearsed
than to leave England and Canada in the dark.
circumstances may arise when executive
sessions are requisite, as in negotiations in
volving issues of peace or war when the text
of a treaty has not been made public. In
the present instance no such issues are at
stake, and the seal Of secrecy was long ago
removed from the Treaty. An open debate
is what public opinion, without reference to
party lines, urgently demands.
The Democratic Senators were convicted
of inconsistency when the test vote was taken
on Tuesday on the question of opening the
doors. They voted TO man against The
proposition and momentarily defeated 1t.
Leaders on that side have professed to be
anxious to have the Treaty openly discussed,
and have tainted their Republican cOlieagueS
with displaying reluctance Z" to twist the lions
tail" in open Senate Secretary bayard has
been reported TO be strongly in favor OF pub
icty. The President himself, in submitting
the text Of the Treaty, recommended It's i'm

the Democratic side to the policy OF open dis
cussion. After all these professions Of sin

COLD GOING OUT.

Gold begins to go out, and the SUPER
abundance of money at this point is so great
that bankers regard the outgo as a benefit.
Obviously it helps the money-lender to have
less money available for borrowing in the
market. The fact is that the volume Of money
in circulation is much greater than the coun-
try now requires, and the loss of part of it
should occasion no apprehension of present dis
turbance. But there is another side to be con-
sidered. The loss Of part Of the gold reserve.
upon which the value Of all the currency in
circulation depends, is not exactly a matter
Of indifference. No disadvantage may result
at present or in the near future, and yet the
consequences in the end may prove unfavor-
able. At some future time. when the value of
the silver certificates and of the paper notes in
circulation come II depend upon the reserve
of gold Immediately available. it will not help
the country TO have lost any Of its gold reserve.
The use Of silver, paper and gold on equal
terms has gone on so long that many people
have entirely forgotten the possibility of a
separation between them. But that posi-
bility still exists, and it is brought nearer by
every diminution Of the available supply Of
gold in the Treasury.
This is the one objection to Mr. Fairchilds

There have been so many complaints about
the faulty and irregular mail service under
this Administration that the chance to get
some light on its shortcomings was eagerly
welcomed in the House yesterday, when The
Post Office Appropriation bill came under con-
sideration. The bill calls for S6,OQO,OOO
more than heretofore. To justify this increase
there ought to be a marked addition OF
efficiency in the service, but the growing bad
quality of the work done gives little ground
for hoping that greater efficiency will be forth
coming. The indictment against the Depart
ment included three counts-extravagance, I'M
fair discrimination and violation of the Civil
Service principle. The defence put in was
clearly inadequate In truth, it failed to an
swer the specific points raised with anything
like fairness or fulness. A plea of guilty
on all the counts might almost as well have
been entered
