SENATOR sHERMAN's VIEWS

On the Financial Situation He Thinks
Congress VIII Provide Relief for the
Country.
AKRON, o., Aug. ID. ]. Richie,
of Tallmadge, Ohio, the Canadian mine
owner and capitalist, has made public
the following letter from Senator Sher-
man on the money question:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. Is.
L. j. Ritchie-Dear Sir: Yours of the
14th has been received with pleasure.
/ believe that congress is addressing
itself TO provide a cure of our present
financial difficulties, but this cannot be
hastened in body composed of 45O SEN
ators and members In the meantime
events are relieving us slowly but sure
ly. The incoming Of gold, the large in
crease Of our paper money and conf
dence In our ability to maintain the
bi-metallic standard Of silver and gold
at a parity with each other are helping
TO relieve our financial situation.
do not intend to be in a hurry In
expressing my opinion 'on the best
means Of relief, for / think IL is better
to move slowly and TO say little until
something effective may be said or
done. II is great mistake to suppose
that congress Is Indifferent TO the
wants Of the people. There is an hon
est difference of opinion among the
people with respect TO the best remedy.
and there Is a growing feeling that all
that is needed Is an increase OF cur
rency Of the national banks and sus-
pension OF further purchases OF silver
bullion. The latter do not regard as
important except TO dissipate the fears
of the capitalists that we are coming
70 the single silver standard, which
means the decentralization OF gold, .
large contraction Of the currency and
a separation from the standard recog-
nized by all commercial nations. Very
truly yours, JOHN SHERMAN.

A New order That viii Save $4,000 n
Year to the Several Soldiers Homes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The president
has issued an executive order directing
that so much OF the executive order Of
May, 1877, as provides that pensions
due to inmates of the various branches
2 Of the national home for disabled vol
unteer soldiers shall be paid at the
agency in Washington, is hereby re-
voked. 1t is also directed that after
July /, 1898, all pensions due TO inmates
Of the several branches of said home
shall be paid by the pension agent in
whose agency district said branch
home is located.
II is said at the interior department
that this order is made in consequence
of the high rate Of exchange between
the western towns (where very many
of the homes are located) and New
York. 1t is expected that the saving
alone TO the several homes will be APP
proximately s25, 900 year.

REPRESENTATIVE s. R. HONEY of
Newport, who made speech denounc
ing the governor for asking the supreme
courts opinion in regard to the legality
Of certain kinds of ballots, and then de-
nounced the supreme court for render
ing an opinion on those questions, is the
same Honey who two days afterward
asked the governor to practically repeat
his questions to the same supreme
court. and when the governor refused to
comply with the request held mock
session of the house in order that the
questions asked by himself might have
at least the outward appearance OF
legality. Mr.. Honey is surprising
leader even now, but is not unlikely
that some time be may surprise his
friends'a as well as his opponents by being
consistent for two successive and con-
secutive days.

SHOULD NOT BE a BAR.

There may be legal difficulties in the
way Of carrying out Mr.. Clarks plan
for honoring the memory of Ebenezer
Knight Dexter, but to the lay mind 1t
would seem that the placing Of statue
on the Training ground could hardly be
construed to be violation of the terms
of the bequest.
Mr.. Dexter was philanthropist
whose bounty has provided a comfort
able home for thousands of people, and
the institution which his beneficience
has established will continue increasing
in usefulness and value to the community
as the years roll on. It is only proper
then that some enduring memorial
should be erected in his honor, and
what better place for it could be found
than on the field which forms part of
his vast gift to the city?
If It's found by the city solicitor that
the contingent interest of the. Dexter
heirs would be a bar to the carrying
out OF the plan their interest should be
purchased. 1t would be small price
to pay for the purpose of honoring one
who has done 80 much for Providence
and for humanity.

A POLITICIANS DEMAND.

Hugh j. Carroll Of Pawtucket is in
state of mind because the committee on
elections Of the trump house has not
organized, and because there Is little
prospect that it will until next jan
uary.
Mr.. Carroll wants seat in the house,
and depends upon the partisan majority
in control Of that body to give 1t to him
in spite of the fact that he has no more
claim to it than a man who was never
candidate. When the nominations
were made last spring the ex-boss of
the Pawtucket Democracy selected his
own opponent, Mr.. James l.. Jenkes who
was supposed to be an opponent Of the
liquor traffic.
Mr.. Carroll and his friends regarded
this as very shrewd move, and one
calculated to insure his election. The
voters, however, had their own opinion,
and although every effort was made to
prejudice them against Mr.. Jenkes they
finally gave him clean majority.
With any but disappointed politician
this verdict of the people would have
been accepted as final. Not SO with
Mr.. Carroll, for with Democratic
majority in the house, he saw chance
to get the seat which rightfully belongs
to another. Before non-partisan COM
mittee he would have no standing, and
his petition would be promptly con-
signed to the waste-paper basket.
What the final outcome will be one
may Judge from the action taken in the
Landers and Hoxsey cases, but disgrace
full as that was the unseating of Mr..
Jenkes to satisfy the demands of a
politician who was repudiated by the
electors, would be still more reprehen-
sible.
But that is only what may be ex-
pected from Democratic dominance.

VALUE OF SILVER CERTIFICATES.

VALUE OF SILVER CERTIFICATES.
It has remained for the New Found
land customs authorities to question the
value of the United States silver certi-
ficates. and by SO doing to raise several
nice points of international law that
will attain considerable prominence be.
fore a solution is finally arrived at.
II appears that Gloucester, Mass,
fishing schooner took out license at
Placenta, paying for the same in Uncle
Sans silver certificates, the usual per
cent. exchange being added.
The silver certificates We're unhesita-
tin gly accepted, the license granted and
the schooner sailed away. The captain
took bait at Placentia and also Port
Royal. On hi s return to the latter port
the vess el was detained, and an extra
premium demanded because of the
allie ged depreciation Of the silver certi.
fcates.
The captain paid the advance under
protest, and sailed for home.
The attention Of the United States
government has be EN- called to this
matter and an investigation will follow.
The depreciation Of United States
silver certificates, which, under rul-
ing Of the treasury department., are re-
deemable in gold, brings smile to ones
face, even in these days of financial dis
tress. Our northern neighbor should
remember that anything bearing Uncle
Sans promise to pay has back of 1t the
faith and honesty of ma ton more ca
pable of paying its debts, than any
other nation ON the face of the globe,
and whether the evidence Of debt be

gold. silver, paper or what not, it will
be honored to the fullest extent.
But whether this were 90 or not, after
a payment has been made and an ex-
change been given in the form OF q
license, no government has right to
demand additional payment on ac-
count of an alleged shrinkage of value.
This matter is an important one, for
the entire fishing feet Of the United
States is menaced with similar treat
ment, and complications will arise that
may produce an unpleasantness which
1t is better to avoid than encounter.
