wastes and devastating voracities o
government.-Galve Texas News
Mr.. Cleveland's new banking scheme
is not likely to become law. The
Democrats are too much divided t1
ever reach a conclusion in their own
ranks and the Republicans or Populites
would not vote Cor free pass to para
disc If a Democratic president proposed
it. There is that much hostility among
all the parties. Liberty Herald.
We hope the Democrats ia Congress
will go actively to work to pass the
Cleveland-Carlisle currency measure.
If it has defects, our statesmen should
remedy them. If the executive de-
partnent of the government has got
to propose and absolutely perfect plans
before the legislative branch can do
anything the people might enter up
another count in the indictment,
namely, useless as well as frequently
vicious in its work. Coviugton Leader.
There can be no doubt as to the ad-
visibility Of the governments promo
ting the Nicaragua canal enterprise.
Action on the proposition is delayed
only because OF difference Of opinion
as to the proper way of taking hold.
1t seems that Congress ought to be
able to get down to business basis of
assisting the enterprise. The time is
ripe for the building of the canal.-Mil-
waukee Wisconsin, Rep.
The next Congress will have a Re-
publican m ajori.y. The last attempt
of the Rep ublican party to legislate on
economic subjects resulted in the Me-
Kinley bill. The country doesn't want
any more bO.ching of that sort. There
fore it is to be hoped that the present
Congress will be able to pass bill to
regulate the currency. 1t isn't a politi-
cal question, but its one that It world
be dangerous to leave to the Republi-
cans under the present leadership of
that party.-Kansas City Times.
While the Republicans are bold and
ever ready to act, the Democratic Sem
ators or most of them do nothing but
hum and haw without coming to de-
cision about anything. Even their
Democratic caucuses, as was the case
a few days ago, amount to nothing, for
the reason that no decision is ever
reached. In fact, most of the Demo
cratic Senators show tirnidity If not
and as consequence are
ridiculed by the Repu5li-
can minority. This is bad. The Demo-
cratic Senators ought 20 caucus and
agree on policy and then go ahead
and carry it out.-Shelbyville Gazette.
Several plans have been proposed for
relieving the treasury of its embarrass-
ment OF carrying on banking bust
ness, and they will be considered here
after. Apart from these endorsements
the greatest objection to the present
system is that the government cannot
put out money when It is needed.
Banks could, for they can always af-
lord to lend money on good security,
but when the government ccutrols ali
he money the banks cannos get IL |
when II is most needed. Il is to meet |
his difficulty that the banks should |
ssue all the notes, but under govern.

1t is worthy OF notice that the sug-
.estion that a monetary commission
'ught to be appointed to take the cur
ency reform question under consider
Ition and report a plan to the next
congress is steadily gaining in favor.
t Is urged that the subject is not a
'olitical one and that a non-partisan
mac up of the sblest fin-
nciers OF the country could render
congress great assistance in this very
Important matter. II Is too important
matter certainly to be acted upon
astily. From crude Legislation might
