Secretary Foster Determined to Maintain
the Reserve and viii Sell Bonds If Nec-
esSary.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Secretary OF
the Treasury Charles Foster expressed
himself freely to ii reporter respecting
the alarm felt in financial circles over
anticipated large gold exports. He
said he looked upon the situation not
simply as a spectator awaiting his re-
tirement from Office.
81 am secretary of the treasury" he
said, land will not be relieved until the
18th of March next My duty will be
performed in the interest of the public
welfare as vigorously as if my time
were not soon to end. Every resource
at my command will be availed of to
preserve the gold and silver, as l am
commanded by law"
"How about the reserve in the treas
ury?"
mo one can obtain gold from the
treasury without paying money for it,
and with the money thus received
can recoup the gold There is also the
right vested in the secretary of the
treasury to sell bonds, if necessary, to
maintain the gold reserve. The treas
ury situation as to the cash balance is
such as to permit the free use of cash
received for gold to again obtain the
gold"
"Will the gold reserve be main
tained?"
1T will be-"
This was stated with the utmost en-
phasis. II firmly believe that with the
resources at the commend of the de-
partment / shall not be seriously en-
barrassed in more than maintaining it
L recommended to congress in my an
nual report that the reserve be increased
from 500, 900, 900 to 1925, 600, 00O"
AS the secretary's report was pre-
pared before the present abnormal
drain of gold to Europe started, Secre.
tary Foster reasonably claimed credit
for fully anticipating the present pres

religious doctrine directly or not, is not
a fact of SO great value, however, as the
fact that 1t indirectly is an evidence
OF the hberalizing tendency Of practical
Christianity, In which all sectarianism
vanishes and all doctrines blend. Nine
tenths OF church members have little
time for theory. The insistance of prac-
tical duties, and the pressure of present
necessities force them to act upon the
immediate dictates of conscience, re-
gardless OF the theory or doctrine OF
their church as to the means of ultimate
salvation, and leave the results and re-
wards OF such acts to the compassion OF
the omniscient deity.

Contact with life in all its phases draws
the mind from deeper speculations in
creeds and concentrates it on active
philanthrophy, and in its ultimate analy-
sis philanthrophy finds its cause as well
as its reward In passionate abandon
ment OF the soul to that universal love
which is the essence of all religion, and
in whose presence theories, doctrines
and sects cease to exist.

To our esteemed and very interesting
contemporary, the ReichsLote of Berlin,
congratulations.
The German Empress recently held a
solemn conclave of her court advisers to
select a newspaper which should be, on
the whole, safest for her six little ones
to read. The discussion was long and
painstaking and brought out the strong
and weak points of all the great papers.
Finally the Reichsbote was chosen. 1t
is described as protestant, conservative
and serious, but not fanatical. 1t is
also uncommonly outspoken at times in
its comments on the public action of the
Emperor. Conservative without SER
Witty; the Reichsbote must be good
paper.
But what q glorious ad. it is It
beats the Lansing letters and the life
insurance policy contest all out as a
means of getting the paper before the
people as one on which no flies are
allowed to gather. 1t is worth a million
marks, If it's worth a pfennig, and If
the business manager doesn't blazon the
choice in every possible manner for the
next ten years, he'll miss the chance of
a life time. Just think Of it "Read
the Reichsbote, the Princes paper, off,
cially pronounced by Her Majesty, the
Kaiserin, the best paper in town."
What an advertisement.
Really, the NEWS was almost inclined
at first to be envious. But we have
done better. Thousands of American
princes-every boy jack of them is one
in his mothers eyes-are reading the

THE melancholy proceedings before
the jag" committee OF the House have
been enlivened by the expert definition
Of Col. Oates of Alabama Of Congress
sional drunkenness. He said: There are
three kinds of drunks-the stimulated
drunk, where man has had one or two
drinks and simply feels stimulated by
them; the gentlemanly drunk, where
man is under the influence Of liquor but
can walk and talk straight and knows
what he is about, and the dead drunk
or dog drunk, where man reels and
staggers and is incoherent when talking"
Mr.. Watson charges the dead drunk
upon Mr.. Oates colleague Judge Cobb,
during the delivery Of his speech in the
Rockwell-Noyes contest while that
eminent Democrat is willing to confess
to the stimulated drunk or, at the most,
to the gentlemanly drunk only. It's a
pretty quarrel.

were in 1872, and a5 per cent. lower
than the free trade Mills bill.

THE postponement Of the Anti-option
bill confirms the prediction of Senator
Aldrich on Thursday last that the bill
would not pass the Senate. His con-
stituents knew how the Senate stood In
regard to the bill but the business COM
munity was relieved to have its hopes
verified by the statement that the meas
ure would fail of passage. The strange
fact in connection with this proposed
law was its strong support by men OF
ability. The only explanation is to be
found in the same fatuous ignorance OF
the masses of the West and South which
led to the election of the unwieldly
Democratic majority in 1890 when the
false predictions of the effects of thelMc-
Kinley bill were SO generally credited by
intelligent voters.

MR.. CLEVELAND ON THE HOME
STEAD RIOTS.

There are many men in high public
position whose judgment teaches them
that their utterances have great weight
with the masses and that they cannot
be too cautious as to what they say.
But the recent remarks of Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Stevenson at Madison Square
Garden are proof that, in some direc-
tions, the intelligence of both is of ma
licious order. The reference of both to
the strike at Homestead and its asserted
connection with the system of protec-
ton were false and have been proven
so, both by eminent Democrats in Con-
gress and by able Democratic news
papers.
Mr.. Murat Halstead calls attention to
the fact that almost Immediately after
the delivery of those two speeches the
excitement at Homestead increased, the
troubles between the military and the
strikers became more serious, a carpen-
ter who was willing to work on the
house of non-union man was beaten to
insensibility, and lastly cowardly at
tack was made on Mr.. Frick. All these
were coincident circumstances, not nec-
essarily resulting from the speech of
Mr.. Cleveland and his running mate.
But who shall say what their exact
effect was? The meaning implied by Mr..
Cleveland was that protection is wrong;
the building up of such millionaires
as Mr.. Carnegie and Mr.. Frick is due to
protection, and therefore they have will
ingly profited and become participants
in wrong. The after events at Home
stead show the conclusions drawn from
such arguments. They are awful tes-
timony against the sound Judgment of
the Democratic nominees. The dema-
goguery of these men is shown in a
clear light. For the sake of few votes
they were willing to commit themselves
TO words which could easily be used by
weak minds to support Nihilism and
Anarchy. And these are the men whom
the conservative and thoughtful are
asked TO elect to the highest Office in
the gift of the people.
Mr.. Cleveland's utterances were based
upon n distortion Of facts they could
have been actuated only by the greed
of personal ambition, and he should be
held strictly accountable for them.

"THE DEADLY TROLLEY"

On one of the sweltering days last week
there stepped from suburban train that
hauled in at the north end of the Union
depot female whose features would pass
as good circumstantial evidence that her
birth occurred not less than forty years
ago. In her hand was a sun umbrella
that must have been treasure of her
youth. Her hat was flower garden, her
waist made of material the color of
flower pot and her skirt would match the
rich, brown earth OF Pine street after
in which she paused as she reached the
street 1t was evident that she was unde-
cided which way to go first Soon she
spied the burnside monument and moved
in that direction. Round il she walked,
looking. NJ. at the figure on horseback.
The soldierss and sailors monument next
caught her eye and IL was sight to see
her trying to climb the iron fence in her
endeavor to read the inscriptions on
the bronze tablets. From here she
moved over TO the city =. hall
and fixed her gaze on It so
scribe il accurately fifty years from now.
Then she drifted into Dorrance street.
her eyes turned heavenward. She paused
a long time in front of Barnaby's win
dows and I thought she would join the
crowd In Westminster street, but she
didn't however. Fosters snowy win
dows fascinated her for long time, but
when she reached Weybosset street and
caught sight OF the trolley cars-"the
deadly trolley nothing on earth could
distract her attention. For nearly an
hour she stood there watching the big
cars come aud 60. At the end OF that
time, Just as n car was about TO start. she
made n motion as IL to board IL. She got
one foot on the step and paused. The
conductor had his hand on the bell rope
and seemed impatient TO get away.

How long do IL take'"
About thirty minutes"
She had taken her foot off the step and
was in brown study. The conductor
was getting angry aud said, almost saw
agely, "If you are going, get In. We
can't wait here all day"
The woman was about TO step on when
she espied the top of bolt sticking out
of the wood platform.
.If step on that will II kill mep' she
said.
"Yes," said the conductor. as he pulled

THE enforcement of the "blue law" in
the neighboring State of Connec ticut
forbidding any railroad trains to be run
on the Sabbath until after four o'clock
in the afternoon is frequently the cause
of serious Inconvenience and indigna-
ton. Especially is this true in the case
of the sudden and dangerous illness of
friends and relatives. II is to be hoped
that Connecticut will divest itself of the
swaddling clothes of civilization ere
long and grow up to the full stature of
the coming century.
