TIE EVENING JOURNAL gave Senator
Higgins ample opportunity TO reply to
the serious charges against him on Sat

material fact that Major Wootten
charges except the incriminating fact Of
the quid pro quo, without which the
other facts are nonsense. What would

MAoALLisTER pleads for sympathy, for
charity even, for his weakness in depre
eating the supposed reference that was
made TO IL but he does not try to deserve
the respect Of his fellowmen by a wise
and just administration Of an obnoxious
office. These arrests he has made are
not warranted by law or reason. II is
not seemly FOR a man TO "sorrowfully
confess that have been weak and then
use the office OF spy always hateful to a
free people, in such manner rs to in
crease public pity to public contempt.
The arrests he has made are not
warranted by law or by reason. These
are not war times. We are not living
under despotism. The miserable weak
ling, Davenport, in New York, who oocu-
pies a similar Office has made 300 such
arrests, not one Of which has ever come
TO trial. II these men arrested by Mac
al lister were ever brought TO trial they
would have TO answer to the charge OF
being Democrats in a Republican court
And yet this is not the Twelfth century
and we do not live under a car.

or course there are some persons who
know his mild and chsste style Of elo-
quence; who know how it lacks the EN-
phasis OF vulgarty and blasphemy
the senator is wont TO use; who
will know also that Major Wootten
invented those ugly things and put them
in Senator Higginss mouth. The Al
mighty has put those men in the world
for some inscrutable reasons not compre
hensible TO plain men. Il is so probable
that this is conspiracy 10 injure the
brilliant and bold reputation that Senator
Higgins has acquired for gentleness and
suavity, that we are surprised that any
body should not perceive at once that
Senator Higginss own admissions
are not true; that he WAS not in Laurel
that he did not see Wootten; that he is
too pure and good a man to have thought
of carrying Delaware by any other than

This year the speculative Republican

us the Doodle and we'll win the State.

whether he gets It or the speculative

WHAT pity it is that Senator Higgins
went to Laurel on October 18th; that
Conductor Sherburne saw him; that he
admits he met Wootten; that they talked
about position for Wootten in the event
Of Wootten's changing his political rela-
tions; that he wrote the Parsons letter
which was innocent but contained the
injunction, Destroy this" All of these
things corroborate Major Wootten's cir
cumstantial story and make the denial
painfully and pitifully feeble for the
credit Of United States senator.

The Currency Question.

LONDON, Nov. lS.-The Financial
News today publishes an interview
with Senator Jones, one of the Ameri
can delegates to the Monetary con-
ference. Senator Jones says the peO-
pie of the United States appreciate
the vital importance of the currency
question; that while In England
many people are ignorant of the rudIS
ments OF the matter aud there Is
hardly an American electOr who has
not formed an Intelligent opinion on
this subject. 1t had q most impor-
tant influence on the last election.
In reply to a question as to whether
the democrats would introduce free
coinage Gll in congress, Senator
Jones sair "Yes, they are bound to-"
Senator Jones says: There are two,
Ehirds m ii )rity in the house elect
favorable to the measure, but he adds
whether the free coinage bill Is intro
duced by democrats and whether 1t
passes or not, are different matters.
Mr.. Cleveland himself is against free
coinage It Is just a question how
far the democrats will feel the ms
fiuence of his personality. A great
mass Of people are bent on free coin
age. Why should free coinage tend to
depreoiate silver currency? We hear
from Indian officials much about de-
probation of silver in India but the
Indian gets as much for European
commodities as he ever got. IT'S not
silver that deprecistes, IT'S gold that
appreciates. We hear about great
stacks of silver. Where are they?
When you talk about grain or petro-
leum you can substantiate your state
ments. Iwaut the same done in case
of silver"

Garfield Cub Banuupt.

YOUNGSTOWN, O., Nov. lS-The
annual banquet of the Garfield club
takes place this evening and it will
be made memorable by the probable
presence of Gov. Mckinley, who is to
speak on the results OF the recent
campaign. The entire country is
ANXIOUS to hear what the governor
has to say, and 1t Is believed that he
will place the responsibility entir1 ly
on the general desire of the people for
q change and will assert that the
high tariff agitation was not solely
responsible for the result except In
one of the western states. It is as
serted by friends OF the governor that
he believed the result in Wisconsin
was due altogether to the school ques-
ton and in the far west to the silver
agitation, which inclined the people
against tho repu blican party and in
favor OF either the peoples party or
the democracy. Tammsny was re-
sponsible for the result in New York
and the high tariff was in his mind
distasteful only to Connecticut and
New Jersey. The force bill issue in
his opinion solidified the south. Un~
der any and all circumstances the res
marks OF the governor tonight will be
heard and read with extreme interest.
