ID Ellquello of eIvIng up one,s seat.

~--' -tN"'At - 1870 " n .fttN " '''sNtt
A Partisan newspaper says that it shows
n want Of good breeding for a lady TO per-
nit a gentleman to give her his seat in a
crowded public conveyance and adds:
Nothing can be more annoying for seated
travellers than this mutual exchange of so
called courtesies and congratulatiousw which
goes ON at their knee. aud threatens their
feet perhaps more or less afflicted with
corns. Remain seated gentlemen. Re
main seated" If the Frcqchmau who
wrote this had ever gone Though the ex-
pericnce Of having a lady decline q seat he
offered, he might write another chapter
about the want of good breeding in refus-
ing well meant courtosies of strangers. The
New Jersey commuters who cross the fer
ries during the rush hours have solved the
difficulties of this whole perpla,ing mat
ter in o thoroughly democratic way. When
gentleman on a crowded boat sees a lady
approaching who he thinks would appreci-
ate a seat, he waits tin she IS nearly oppo-
site to him, and then without demonstra-
tion Of any sort he simply rises and goes
out on the deck. The lady is free to sit
down OF stand up, as she prefers, and the
gentleman runs no risk Of snub New

THE AWFUL GOLD RESERVE.

The financial situation, serious as 1t
undoubtedly is in some respects, has an
amusing phase. The steady accumula.
ton of silver, the continued outflow of
gold and the difficulty of maintaining
the parity of the different kinds of cur
rency continue to make a very embar-
RAISING situation. and yet it has one
feature that is almost amusing. We re-
fer to the so-called invasion of the
gold reserve" The "gold reserve" is a
fund Of 800. 0OO. 900 which was set
apart many years ago as a sort of spe-
cial fund, primarily for the redemption
of ereenbacks, but really for any emer-
gency. There is no law requiring the
maintenance of a gold reserve fund,
and nothing to prevent it being drawn
upon for any legitimate purpose. There
could not be a more legitimate purpose
than the maintenance of the govern
menr credit. But there has been so
much talk about the gold reserve that it
has come to be regarded as a sort OF
sacred fetch. 1t has been surrounded
with an awful circle Of financial mys-
terry, to cross which meant-well, no.
body knew just what, but something
dreadful. The idea has been inculcated
that if the gold reserve we're trenched
upon financial chaos would follow.
We'll, it has been trenched upon and
nothing has happened. Perhaps itmight
be said that the unexpected has hap
pened In that there was no panic, NO
financial cataclysm. NO excitement OF
any kind. Why should there be over
the using, for a perfectly legitimate
purpose. of a few millions of a hundred
million-dollar fund.- A few days ago.
when there was talk of issuing bonds to
raise gold rather than trench on the re-
serve fund, a New York banker said
that would be like a man going into
bankruptcy with abundant assets. The
comparison is a good one. Why should
the government issue bonds to raise
gold solong as it has 800, 000. 600 of it
in the treasury A gold reserve is an
possible use for it is to use it.
1t is probable that many good people
expected Secretary Carlisle to fall dead
the moment he crossed the sacred line
that surrounded the gold reserve. There
is reason to believe that he himself felt
a little as if he were burning his bridges
behind him. But he took his life in his
hand. drew on the gold reserve, and
nothing happened. Now let US cease to
regard the gold reserve as a sacred
fetich

HAsTY ACTION ON THE CAR FRANCHISE.

The City Railway Company has been
given the franchise for which it bid 80
handsomely on Wednesday last. and its
contract with the city, by which it &C
Quires the right to operate the street
railways of indianapolis for a period of
thirty years. has been duly approved by
the Council. The Journal has been
very heartily in favor OF the acceptance
of the ~company's bid, believing it to be
an excellent one for the city, but it is
inclined to the opinion that undue
haste was exhibited by the Coun-
Gil in "~railroading" it through.
A special meeting of that body
was called for last night, to which the
ordinance was submitted and referred
to a committee, and a second special
meeting called for 1905 this morning.
To this second meeting the committee
reported in favor of the approval of the
contract, and favorable action was taken
with a rush. 1t is doubtless true that
delay in clinchinR the matter would
have given opportunities for the
opponents of the new company to
jeopardize its case. by fighting for
amendmentsto the charter. the adoption
of a single one of which would have re-
suited in undoing all that bad been
done and necessitating a readvertising.
But the Journal is also inclined to be-
ieve that the proposition Of the new
company had sufficient merit to have
stood all tests and to have been success
full by all regular methods. The ordi-
nance, as amended, had never been
published. and while it is perfectly
true that the public is familiar with its
general provisions. and a majority ap-
prove of them, the haste with which the
Council acted may appear TO some I'M
seemly. We believe the contract TO be
a most excellent one for both parties to
it, and that time will prove that the city
has made the best bargain possible; but
for that very reason we might
have urged the Council to not
depart so radically from regular
methods in SO important a mat
ter. The m of the incorpora-
tors, bondsmen and officers of the COM
pany include some of the city's best
known and bstantial citizens, and
1t is quite well understood that others
equally we'll known and quite rs strong.
financially, are associated with them,
in addition to Messrs. Dieterich, Proal
and their New York associates. The
company is unquestionably ale to meet
all financial requirements, and in the
interest of the city's progress, at least.
it is to be sincerely hoped that it may
be equally able to cope with the legal
obstacles with which it will probably
be confronted.

Mrs. Maria Jsycox. of Valley Mills De-

date for the elimination of the happy
acquaintance was announced for the third
day of March. The day rolled around and
the two were made one in the presence of

promised his wife that he would not take
her away from her home. but would buy q
