THE MONEY STANDARD.

The statement that Jesse Seligman is con-
sulting with European fnanclers with
view TO some kind OF an international
agreement in the interest of bimetallism
should not be discredited because under
conditions that have existed for the past
fifteen years in this country Mr.. Seligman
has been supporter of the single gold
standard A man may desire the res
toration of the double standard the world
over, and yet not think it wise for the
United States to drop to the single standard
as means Of reaching the double standard
Mr. Seligman is reported to have found
Germany in a mood to enter an international
conference. Up to the present time Ger
many has been England's strongest ally in
the maintenance of the single gold standard,
and II that nation can be induced to Join
France, Austria, Italy and other nations
friendly to silver bimetallic union may be
effected which will determine in what kind
OF money trade balances may be paid.
England may continue to demand gold in
settlement of accounts, but to do so will be
at some risk to her trade with silver
countries. The intimation that the agita-
tion OF this question at the present time is
a device to prevent Congress from passing
free coinage bill is not entitled to much con-
sideration. There is very little danger that
the next Congress will disturb the present
silver act, which provides market for all
the silver bullion produced in the country
The Republicans are disposed to give the

REACHING OUT.

There is movement on foot to induce one
or both Of the National Conventions to
meet in this city. These conventions have
generally yibrated between Chicago and
Cincinnati with an occasional trial of
Philadelphia or St. Louis. 1t would be a
new experience for the warehouses OF both
parties to cross the continent to attend a
convention. Wherever convention meets
il will be the scene of the gathering OF sew
eral thousand representative men besides
those elected to act as delegates. Members
of Congress and United States Senators are
somewhat in the habit of being within con-
sulting distance OF the conventions For
these and similar reasons 1t is desirable that
one or both of the National Conventions
should meet in this city. Very few men
would cross the continent without making
tour Of the State before or after the meeting
of the conventions. In this way men who
exercise a powerful interest in national leg
islatiOn would see something of the State
themselves. 1t is not to be supposed that
either convention will cross the continent
for any god their coming may do this State.
They may come for their own benefit and
instruction, with view probably to the eff
feet of their visit on the chances of the
party they repreert.

THE FIRE COMMISSIONERS.

Leaving out of consideration two cases
involving seat. in tue Board OF Fire Com
missioners, now pending in the Supreme
Court, there is one vacancy to be filled by
the Board of Supervisors. Perhaps the
board has performed no greater significance
since it came into Office than the filling of
this vacancy. The utilization of the new Com
missioner will largely determine whether
the board is to be counted with the political
boss system which is now being investigated
by the Grand Jury or whether it is acting in
the interests Of the people. The Fire De-
partment, as all know, has been the
strong arm of the Buckley administra-
ton. Tie new member will. of course,
be Republican, but it does not follow
that he will be an anti Buckley man.
The relation between political bosses of
this city has been SO int mate that party
names have lost much of their significance.
The board may elect Republican Fire
Commissioner and still perpetuate boss rule
and boss methods. The board should be
certain that its selection is made from the
ranks of anti-Crimmins-Kely Republicans.

EUTYCHUS' FATE,
What May Happen to- Auditors of yerbos

What May Happen to Auditors of Verbose
Preachers.
ST. Paul on a certain occasion preachesl
until midnight. and young man named
Eutychus. who was listening to him, fell
asleep, and falling to the ground from
the window jim which he was sitting was
killed. The fate of Eutychus came to the
mind of DR.. Ketchum of Berkeley yestar-
day, while he was addressing the Presby-
terrain ministers on "Short Sermons" and he
warned the brethren to take heed least the
blood of ,ome modern imitator of the sleepy
Greek should come upon their hands,
The reverend speaker declared that long
sermons are not heard by the congregations,
or If heard are not remembered. Life, he
held. is too short for the sermons some
remember that man needs rest for both mind
and body.
The Congregational ministers decided TO
discuss the need of prisons on the last
Sunday of the month. The usefulness of
military companies in bringing boys INTO
the Sunday-shools was discussed at length
and generally approved. A visiting
minister, however, took occasion to de-
nounce the plan as unchristian and at
variance with the teachings of the primitive
church. He spoke with great earnestness
and declared that if the boys were to be
brought into the church the ministers should
pray for them on six days of the week and
aud ask them in. The brethren smiled
audibly as the speaker proceeded and de-
clded at the close of the meeting to take
steps toward the organization of a brigade
of the military companies.

Coffey in Contempt.

Lawyer NJ. NJ. Coffey is again in trouble.
While Coffey was selecting jury to try
petty case in Police Court 3 yesterday after
noon one of the talesmen was excused by
the Court because he was afraid of losing
his situation. Coffey then began to ask
other jurors if they were afraid of closing
their jobs" when the Court interposed an
objection. This did not restrain the attor-
ney and he continued to ask the question.
Judge Joachimseu then declared him guilty.
OF contempt of court and fined him $50 4
stay OF the order was granted until to-day,
when it is expected that Coffey will pro-
iusely apologize and have the fine set aside

On his return he obtained letter from
Mr.. Childs to Joseph Pulitzer, and came
to New York to go to work on The
World, but on his way to hotel he met
Mr.. Brisbane, who proposed that he
should go instead to The Evening Sun.
Davis was nothing 10th, and walked on
up the street with hatbox and bun
die of walking sticks in his hands. On
his way to the hotel he was met by
Sheeney Mike, the famous bunco op-
orator, who, judging by Davis very
British garments that he was a stranger,
proceeded to take him in
Davis went with him jOyously, MAX
ing an excuse, however, to run away for
a few minutes. These minutes he util-
lied by going to The Evening Sun office
and asking if they wanted bunco story.
They did. He returned, was "played
for a sucker" and picking out the chief
of the gang told him that he had plenty
of money at the Astor House, and would
go and get it. They started, and when
they were on Broadway Davis collared
half an hour he had his prisoner in the
Tombs, and an hour later his first story
was written for The Evening Sun.
Since then he has done great quantities
of most excellent work for that paper
aud much outside work, A special fac
ulty he has is for rapid writing Some
of his Van Bibber'' and "Trayers"
stories have been turned off inside of an
hour, and have been specially praised
for their high finish. He has also writ
ten much verse and few notable maya
zine stories. Among these the two
which have attracted most attention are
my Disreputable Friend Mr.. Reagan"
and 1.-The Cynical Miss Catherwaight"
He has also made a name in the leading
sporting papers as the best descriptive
writer on football of the present genera
ton.
One of his earliest stories, called Gal
lagher," attracted the attention of Mr..
james r. Osgood, the veteran Bostonian,
now the London representative of Har-
per Bros, and he, making inquiries as
to the author, declared that if Davis
should write a book he would be glad
to publish it in London, for he was sure
it would make hit Similar recogni-
ton by Others led to the Offering of the
place of managing editor of Harper's
Weekly to him when the veteran Mr..
Foord was compelled by i'll health to re-
sign it. Mr.. Davis will assume charge
on the LIST of February, and in the
mean time is travelling, partly ON bust
ness and partly for pleasure.
Among the characteristics which make
him, even at his present age a c0uspicu-
Gus man is his athletic training. Ha
is remarkably strong without looking
SO, and is an adept at most outdoor
sports de is unmarried.
