week secluded himself at his country
home and refused to see anyone but
Cabinet members for the purpose of
completing his annual message. There
is reason to believe, however, that
this work has not been all that has
held him, and thar his rheumatic govt
is giving hun great deal of trouble,
While there is no danger IN the dis
ease in its present state, the Presi.
dents friends are undoubtedly exer-
cised about the continual suffering
and lameness which results from it
The coming executive message has
been as well foreshadowed as such
things can he, and there is little rea-
son to change at this time any former
forecasts Probably more attention
should be attracted to the alternative
which is before the executive of re-
commencing to Congress the appoint
ment OF currency commission rather
han setting forth complete financial
,ystem for its adoption What is
most probable is that both will y,
suggested and that the former will be
ADVISED as a substitute if the latter
fails of accomplishment. There j.
however, distinct disadvantage on the
President and the party IN any recon.
mendation of his which is to put to
the test in Congress and fails. II be

cial system and 1t should meet, as it
is most likely to do, with decided OPP
position from the Democrats Of the
House. it would only tend to make
matters in the party worse, and il 1t
IA led would be sure to leave demon
alization in its tracks. On the other
hand currency commission act recon-
mended By a Democratic President,
passed by a Democratic Congress,
would bear upon it the stamp of Dem.
ocratic reform, even though the com
mission itself and its subsequent la
bors were accomplished in nonpar
tisan way. If desirable commission
could be appointed and it brought to
the Fifty-fourth Congress, feasible
and reasonable scheme, there is little
doubt that this would have the sup
port of popular opinion and would
be more likely to gather to it united
Democracy.
The question that the Republicans
would then have before them would
be whether or not snch a scheme was
to be supported or opposed. If sup
ported and carried into effect, the re-
form would always be considered Of
Democratic origin. If opposed, an
issue would be made at once and
there would be something for the
Democrats to fight for in the cam.
paign of 1896. 1t may be said that
there is always something to fight for,
but il the Reed faction rules the
coming Congress there will be very
little Republican record made and
very little new political history upon
which to base a Presidential cam
paign. All this matter is before the
Presidents mind at this time, but Of
course no one can say just what posi-
ton he will take in regard to its va
rious phases.
