To Relieve the Financial Situa-
ton,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-It is under
stood that at the Cabinet meeting day
the greater part of the session was de-
voted to the consideration AID discussion
of Secretary WINDOWS proposition to re-
lieve the financial situation ard furnish
an elastic currency.
1t is proposed to do this by issuing =
per cent. bonds, convertible into legal,
tender notes at their face value, ard
accrued interest to be issued in lieu o! the
outstanding per cents hich are to be
purchased at their market value. 1t is
proposed that the new per cent. bonds
shall not be available as security for ma
tional bank circulation, TIT shall be en-
ployed for the sole purpose of giving elias
ITCHY to the currency.
That is, it is taken for granted that
when there may be a glut of money
legal-tender notes will be taken to tie
rsasury and converted into the 2-per
cent. bonds. When money is scarce the
bonds will be presented for redemption
at legal tender rates and so on indefinitely
during the term Of years for which the
bonds are issued
Intimation of this scheme has been
given out in advance of the presentation
of Secretary WINDOWS report to Cong
the issue OF Treasury notes upon the de-
post of silver bullion W as made public a
year ago some time before it was sub
mitted to Congress, and that is to obtain
the opinion OF flnanciers as 10 it's :piaC-
ticsbility. Mr.. WINDOWS silver scheme
failed to receive the endorsement CT
Congress, but If the entire sock OF silver
bullion in New York could have been
converted at once into legal tender money
at its market price during the recent
stringency in the money market in &C
cordance with Mr.. Wiudom's original
plan perhaps things might have turned
out differently. although the effect OF this
might also have been discounted in ad-
vance.
The iucortrovertibie bonds, bearing
low rate Of interest, was a part OF the
original form of the Grccnback party,
and it is significant fact that it should
now be endorsed by an original hard
money man like Secretary Window.
While an issue OF such bonds in lieu Of
the outstanding 4 per cents. might in
part elasticity to The currency if used for
that purpose, it would also afford facili-
ties not now enjoyed by the bears for
locking up money at a positive profit.

Here it is on the counters
all you want Of it. And more

you have a right to expect.
Everybody's best in addition
and any sort from anywhere

MORAL COWARDICE.

| The very lowest orders of animalism
| age, sufficient to excite our admiration.
Instinct and passion are powerful incen
tives to physical courage but high moral
courage Is only found united to refined
sensibiities aud intellectual and spirit
ual graces of the FIRST order.
Many man whose cheek would bum
with shame at the implication of physi-
| cal cowardice, knows himself to be a
moral coward, afraid to act ont his in
most convictions of right, for fear of ri
| dicule or loss. This was the spiritual
condition of the man in the parable who
| hid lis talents in a napkin.
Hoping to escape censure from just
Judge by remaining passive inactive aud
apparently uncoucerned but his lamenta
BILE excuse. when brought to account for
his cowardly course, showed conclusive
ly that his conscience had not been a 81
lent witness of his guilt.
Even those who actually assail a good
cause, from selfish motives, are entitled
to questionable sort of respect, while
those who take refuge in assumed differ
enco deserve only our contempt.
OF the thousand voters who absented
themselves from the polls on election
day, we venture to say that not twenty
five stayed away because they were indif-
Al. l.
the moral courage to vote for what they
knew to be right, nor the immortal cour-
age to vote for what they knew to be a
wrong.
The moral cowardice of the whiskey
party was strikingly exhibited during
the entire campaign through which we
have just passed. Contrast it with the
splendid courage exhibited by our Prohi-
bition leaders and choose your own
heroes.
As in the individual, whiskey seems to
to "drown out and utterly destroy the
moral faculties such, in this case, seemed
to be its effect upon the whiskey party"
So dulled was their moral vision that
they imagined that Cecil county, with
its fifty pulpits and two hundred schools,
contained hundreds of such monstrosi
ties in the outward semblance of men
and women, that they could weigh, in
the balance OF their minds, the precious
blood bought souls Of their own children
against tax receipt, and decide that the
latter weighed the most, and would vote
accordingly.

Such reciprocity would not do. |
would be merely free trade with all
its disasters. We are surprised that
Mr.. Cleveland should even have
gone so far as to favor it; but ban
quets sometimes bring out personal
convictions even when the ords are
uttered lightly. Those few senterCes
will undoubtedly costhim many votes
in 1902.

PAsTEUR's famous discovery OF a
remedy by incubation for the pre-
vention of hydrophobia, has been ex-
ceeded in public interest by the re-
ported discoveries by Prot. Koch, OF
Berlin, of a lymph for the treatment
of consumption and tuberculous skin
diseases. Very exaggerated accounts
of the cures already effected by the
use of the lymph in cases OF COM
sumption, have given rise to the
general belief that the remedy dis
covered is a specific for this disease.
The facts of the ease which seem
to be definitely established beyond
all preadventure are about as fol-
lows: DR.. Koch's discovery is not in
any sense consumption cure, and
neither the Professor nor his asso-
ciates have made such claim The
experiments seem to indicate that its
value as a therapeutic agent is con-
fined to the treatment of tuberculous
skin diseases and affections of the
Joints, etc. The physicians who have
focked to Berlin express the great
EST skepticism in regard to the treat
aent even of early stages of consump
IN, and DR.. Bergman himself,
. of the few doctors in touch with
DIR. Koch, has accumulated and en-
phasized the position taken by the
eat bacteriologist, and warned his
ats that no absolute cure, IN
case, had been effected by the
Sc of the lymph.
lust where the new remedial
agent will stand after it has been
tested by the eminent experimentors
of all countries cannot now be detl-
niteIy forseen, but the most conser
yative authorities are inclined to the
belief that it will finally find chief
position among the chief remedial
agents, none of which however. are
in any sense, "sure cures lntal-
lible remedies belong to the empires
and are the first essence of quackery
and humbug. II Prot. Koch has
discovered new remedy and new
method of treating tuberculosis, even
if the percentage of cures is not any
larger than under the old hyglenic
andltherapeutic methods, he has made
a great stride forward, but not in the
direction that popular opinion holds
so dear.

Joker or Juker-Which?
The Cecil Democrat under its re-
organized dictatorship, is very early
realizing the embarrassments OF a
divided editorial management In
its last issue Mr.. Writ is constrained
to address a note to Mr.. Ash the
business manager of that paper, IN
which he discIaims being in any
sense its Editor, while in another
column of the same issue, MIR. VIM.

sumes the authorship OF certain edl-
torial utterances. from the possible

to relieve Mr.. Writ.
Why all this stir in the internal
economy of our Contemporary
No Argus-eyed WING is needed
to discover in the recent contradlc-
tory editorial utterances of our Co
temporary the cause of this commo-
ton.
Two weeks ago that Legendary but
no less significant scrap, "No00 for
free trade for a free Country, stood
boldly prominent editorially in Tile
Democrat. One week ago there was
displayed in holder caps at the head
of its Editorial Columns this legend,
"ow blagorm--T0if Reform.
How was the public to know that
the first editorial morsel was Mr..
Purnell's ? His name doesn't appear
as an Editor Of the Democrat, and
how, in the light of Mr.. Wirt's let
ter, can the latter platform be as
sumed as his?
And if not his, whose is it
The puzzle OF this editorial con.
tradictiOn' suggests ) another equally
confusing.
One week before the recent cleo
ton, the Democrat announced Itself
editorially in favor of licensing the
liquor traffic in the county, and
claimed that such had always been
its policy whereupon Doctor R. {.

and effective work for prohibi-
ton in Cecil county, and who per-
sonally or at least in his family rep.

stock of TIE Democrat, denied in d
letter in its colusns, that such had
been the policy Of that paper hereto
fore,-but that it had been neutra

plain the seemingly inconsistent po'
sition in which that Editorial utter
ance of The Democrat had placed
him.
Who wrote that Editorial COM
hitting TIE Democrat to the liquor
interested the County, against the
wishes or at least without the know
ledgeor consent, of the owner, or
representative of the owners of a

Clearly Mr.. Writ could not have
either written, or authorized it, be-
cause he says he is not in any sense
the Editor of Tie Democrat.
But who did write or authorize
that editorial, and by the way
who is the Editor of the Democrat,
and to whom are the people of Cecil
county to look as responsible for
its editorial utterances
Men and brethren, let us come out
from behind the bush into the open,
and let the people see who and what
we are, for there is clearly a Jour
nalistic Joker or Juker about the
office of our Contemporary.
