TIE recent escape Of Latlmer' the prison at Jackson, after administering a fatal dose of poison to the gate keeper is strong argument in favor of the more rigid enforcement of dis cipline in our penal institutions. By discipline is not ment brutality, but that firm, unyielding enforcement of prison regulations that knows no fla voritism, and that can not be made the dupe of a murderer's cunning A life convict who murdered his mother and presumably, his father for money gain is certainly not safe person to treat as ''trusty."

THE Austrian Jew baiters seem to have determined that Max Judd, of St
 Louis, is not the proper person to rep re sent the United States as consul gen eral at Vienna.

Some are inclined to think the change smacks of snobbery, but at European courts the simple minister, in point of prestige and influence, is about as a captain to a general when brought into contact with full-fiedged mbassador, and we are no third-rater. anyhow.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Gen. John G.

of distinction is lying at his apartments,
ut 723 Thirteenth street n. W., in a crit.
ical condition, the result OF a stroke of
paralysis. General Walker was return

and as he was ascending the ste ps at his
home he fell.

TO PINCH TRE BANKS.
Tho Treasury Taking Advantage of the
Scarcity of Small Change.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Heavy clear.
ing house payments in New York
caused the gold reserve to fall lower
than 1t has been for several days past
and S346.SS less than it was on Satur-
day. The reserve to-day amounts to
S9s, 059,4so. and currency balances to
sec, l17,91S.
The Star this afternoon gives pub
Lefty to the following statement in re.
gard to gold payment from the United
States sub-treasury in New York: "Con.
siderable effort Is being made by the
financial agents here 80 discover the
motive behind these payments, but the
department is as close mouthed as a
clam. An explanation got through pri.
vate sources is that the Department is
trying to take advantage OF the scarcity
OF small and convenient currency for
interna! business to pinch the banks as
by storing gold.
small bills for current business trans.
actions and for use in agricultural dis.
trlcts. The theory Is advanced that, IL
they cannot get what they need Of this
sort OF currency by any other means,
they Will have to make terms with the
Treasury. which would involve their
exchanging gold or gold certificates in
large quantities for notes and certificates
OF small denominations.
ut is said that the Department can
afford to pay out gold on drafts pre-.
sented by banks. II, by so doing. they
can cut off the source through which
the banks would get their SIN all notes
and put them to sufficient Inconvenience
to bring them to terms. The banks
understand that II they want small
notes and certificates they can secure
them by taking large quantities and
paying for them in gold, and it is the
theory OF the Department. that by pinch
ing them pretty close they can be forced
to do this. 1t is very probable that the
issue OF gold certificates will not be
resumed if the gold reserve gets over a
hundred millions, as it is not clear that
the law is mandatory in requiring tn @
renewal OF the issue after it is has been
stopped by reason of the reserve falling
below hundred millions"
