THE MONEY QUESTION:.



Every effort ought 10 he made that is

ness interests Of the country 70 post
pone the consideration of the currency
question until after the revision of the
tariff. Secretary Carlisle is convinced
that the monetary conditions are daily
becoming more satisfactory. Gold is
coming in in adequate amounts, and al
though there have been occasional re-
newals OF the foreign demand for it
there seems to have come an end o any
thing approaching lack of confidence in
the treasury.
The financial authorities at Washing
ton, agreeing with Mr.. Carlisle, are
hopeful that the problem can be solved
without drawing the question into the
arena OF immediate political debate.
The main issue on which Mr.. Cleveland
was elected was that Of the tariff. That
is the issue upon which there is most
harmony among democratic congress
men. and that is the one also in which
the people Of the country are mostdeep-
~ concerned.
The money question is no longer con-
fined 10 silver coinage. 1t now EN-
braces the whole subject of our incou.
gruous paper currency and involves the
entire system Of banking. Moreover, il
cannot be determined without a solu-
ton OF the difficulties of those commune
ties that haven not proper banking facili-
ties; in other words, that are not pos
sesscd of proper credit tokens for the
transaction Of their business,
The settlement of such problems will
require very many months of deep
study and thorough discussion. And in
the meantime it would not be fair to |
the people who have demanded by an
enormous majority that they shall be
relieved from the burdens of tariff taxa
ton imposed upon them by the McKin.
ley act that the reform of that act
should be postponed,
1t is probable that the administration
will be able to take such steps as will !
convince the country and the financial
world that a proper solution of the
monetary question will be eventually
reached, and that in the meantime
American securities will remain safe
This being done, the at
tention of those who will be intrusted
with the task of reforming the tariff
will not be distracted, and the promises
made by the democracy can be fulfilled.

FAT FRYING.


, No Reason Why New England M%onopolists
Should Not Help the Creator of Their
Wealth.
Gov, KcKinley recently declined to
receive gifts offered for his relief from
security debts contracted through his
unfortunate confidence in the McKin-
ley bill, but a recent telegram an
nounced that the trustees of the
Gov. Mckinley estate having consented
to receive contributions for the relief
of the estate, Hon. John ID. Long, Hon.
Albert Clarke and 7. n. Harte have
been appointed a central committee for
New England to receive contribu-
tons"
Mr.. Clarke is president of the cele-
brated Home Market club, founded to
enforce Mr.. Mckinley's idea that the
more wealth we get from abroad the
poorer it makes us.
This idea has been a great boon to
the New England Brahmans. and they
can well afford to go down into their
w~ell-stutfed pockets for the relief of the
Mckinley estate. 1t is a pity that there
is not some way of frying enough fat
out of them to pay the debt without
having to rely on their grudging char
ity for what were more properly de-
manded as a right.
Mr.. Mckinley has done more for
these people than was ever done for
them before. He has succeeded in get
ting them greater opportunities for
gathering where they have not strewed
and reaping where they have not sown
than they ever had before, and it is
scandalous that they should have to be
urged to contribute to relieve the Nc
kinley estate very much as they would
have to be urged to part with their law
teeth.
Gov. Mckinley is certainly as much
entitled to a share of the proceeds of
the Mckinley bill as they are, and their |
fat ought to be fried to furnish it.

or Great Value,

The services of the Reform club in
advancing the cause of tariff reduction
have been inestimable in value. In
season and ont of season this club has
sent speakers to all parts of the state,
and sent its literature to thousands OF

fallacy to its death. The gentlemen

The English Language.

Professor Vambery has been lecturing
IN the Fashion of Languages" before
the Buda-Pesth English club. English,
ne said, may now be called the most
fashionable language in all the five parts
of the world. 1t began to spread in the
first decades of the century through Eng
ish literature, and in Asia by means of
accelerated communication. Steamers
were the wings of the English language
in the far east, and its spreading from
India and the straits settlements to Chi
ma and Japan is simply miraculous.
There is no eXaggeration in saying
that the number of English speaking
Asiatics amounts today to 5000, 900; that
of Europeans to more than l ZOO, 900, and
these, added to the 5000, 900 Anglo
Saxons, give total of English speaking
men and women of 100, OOO, 900. Should
the increase continue in the same proper
ton, the middle of next century will
have 200, OOC. 0CO English speaking per-
sons, and the English will have no rival
in the world besides the Chinese.
Phonetically English is unsuitable for
the foreigner. and the lecturer declares
he always suffered acute pain in the jaws
when speaking publicly in England and
trying to initiate genuine English. The
phonetic difficulties are, however, amply
rare precision, vigor and eXactness in
which English sIirpasses all other Euro
pean tongues.-London News.

To Tax Scenic Advertisements.

The practice of defacing natural seen
ery with great advertisements is not so
prevalent in the United States as it was
a generation ago, and public sentiment
is steadily growing stronger against it.
This practice has recently developed in
England to such an extent that lovers of
nature recognize that some definite ac-
ton must be taken. The Thames val
ley, the most picturesque mountain spots
in Wales and the loveliest corners of
Devonshire have been greatly injured by
huge advertisements. The well known
architect. Mr.. Waterhouse, has pro-
posed that if they cannot actually be
prohibited they should at least be di-
minished by the imposition Of heavy
license tax.-Chicago Herald.

A FIGHT INEVITABLE.
Rebels and Government Troops
 to Come Together.
WILL MEET AT ASCENSION.
It Is Predicted the First Battle wilI Be Won by the Revolutionists-The Chihuahua Revolt Is Becoming
 sertous-PatrolIing the Border.

DENYING. N. NJ, Dec. 2.-It is admit ted by both sides that battle between the rebels and government forces will be fought at or near Ascension within few days. There are now 400 soldiers stationed in the town of Ascension. The rebels under the command of Cruez Chavez, are encamped in the mountains near by.
 The Mexican government has aban- doned the original plan of raising troops for the defense of the frontier by drafting peons and Mormons into the army, having found that at heart the enlisted men were in sympathy with the rebels and liable to revolt in the midst of battle. Only regulars will be employed to quell the trouble. The rebels are now we'll organized, with Sanatan Parez as commander-in-chief One division is under Chavez, another under Pillar Barrela and third under Juan Pacheco. Only the first division will be engaged in the first battle, the two latter being in the vicinity of Guer- rero. Chavez men are provided with 200 rounds of ammunition, plenty of firearms and are fearless and deter mined. It is almost certain that the first fight will result in victory for the rebels on account of their position in the mountains. from which it will be next to impossible to dislodge them.
 The report that the Ascarate broth CTS of Las Crucus had been captured by rebels turns out to be unfounded. The rebels had visited their ranch at Palstada asking for supplies, but upon being refused went away without doing anY damage. ~
