CURRENCY REFORM DEFECTS.

1t was Inevitable that the defects of
the administration plan for currency
reform should be discovered and ex-
plotted as soon rs the matter began TO
be understood and as soon as action be-
gan to be taken by Congress.

SENSATIONAL NEWSPAPERS.

There are more than one or two or
three kinds of sensational newspapers.
The newspaper that is not sensa-
tional nowadays is pretty certain
TO be practically unknown.
"At this writing" as used to be said,
THE News is unable TO call to mind one
newpaper that is not open to the charge
of sensationalism, either in the iegiti-
mate meaning of the word, or some one
Of its modern perversions.
In New York, the home of the news
paper and the breeding-place for news,
there are few papers that inveigh.
roughly against what they call sensa-
tionalism. To illustrate: The Evening
Post is one that releases all its powers
of invective in condemnation of
sensationalism, yet it thrives on the
sensational raids against Tammany it
every short while inaugurates. The
papers that are loudest against sensa-
tionalism employ the most sensational
methods and language to denounce SEN
sationalism.
There is no more sensational paper
published than the New York Herald,
but its spurts are all inspired by some
worthy object. IL INDUCES in tremen.
dous campaigns against bogus medical
colleges. bogus lottery companies, de-
frauding bakers, the Sunday saloon, etc.
1t also has another sort of raid, all its
own, that it works with great vigor and
frequency. 1t has it in use now, having
just started a popular subscription to
provide the anti-toxine serum for the
cure Of diphtheria. 1t raises and gives
money for free ice for the poor in sum
mer, and 1t has some scheme for the
amelioration of the poor and unfortunate
on hand most Of the time.
The project to raise money for the
procuring of the anti-toxine serum is a
great one, and THE News takes occasion
TO mention 1t for two-fold purpose-to
express its keen appreciation of the action
of The Herald aud to ask all its readers
to watch the course of the new cure.
1t would be very profitable employ
ment for every good citizen if they would
devote some few minutes during this
glad and glorious holiday season now at
hand to serious reflection upon this
topic: The newspapers as promoters of
good works.
What is there going on in this city Of
Providence, for example, intended TO
amuse or benefit its citizens that The
News, for example again, does not con-
tribute to, more than any other agency
not directly concerned--ten-fold,
huudred-fold, more?
THE News does not intend 10 draw
particular attention to itself, but 70 sug-
gest that no element in the public life of
tho day throws so much into the move
ments and projects that affect the mass
OF the people as the newspapers do.
Here is a shining instance: The new
cure for dphtheria cannot be used unless
money Is freely spent 10 produce is. The
New York Herald draws its check for
$1,000 at once, aud invites others to Join
il.
The sour and Jnisauthropic sneer at
such an act as this, and declare that it
is done for advertising purposes It is
done to attract attention to The Herald.

Tor the rev cure an adequate trial.

secretary Carlisle ls Alarmed aud Wants
an Agreement.
WAsnINGToS, Aug. 7.--Chairman
Wilson when he left the conference
committee Monday afternoon, stated
most positively that no agreement had
been reached by the conferees, aud he
intimated that none would be reached
Monday.
Secretary Carlisle is anxious for an
early agreement on the tariff because
he thinks II the bill is passed it will in-
crease the revenues Of the government.
A prominent official in his depart
ment who Is well informed ON this
tariff matter said Monday that tho
representatives. Of the house were act
ing very stupidity" in opposing the
senate bill with the change in the
sugar schedule. The secretary Of the
treasury recognizes that something
will have 10 be done very soon in
regard 10 the gold reserve, which
has now declined 10 about S59, ,O0O,-

bill becomes law the receipts OF the

pcrienee In treasury matters will not
agree with MIR. Carlisle The sugar
trust has already laid in stock OF raw
tugn1t al admitted by the treasury ex-
prrts, sEIiiicient for six months, and
every days delay on the tariff is prov
ing of great advantage TO the trust.
When the conferees separated Mon
day afternoon, the senators carried
with them another sugar schedule
proposition from the house. The re-
fusal Of the schedule proposed last
week set the treasury department and
administration at work on another
schedule. which was intended to fool
the public by u technical wording Of the
paragraph The conference at the
white house sunday brought forth the
following sugar schedule, which was
submitted to the conference by the
members of the house conferecs, and af-
ter short discussion, the senators asked
for recess 10 submit II a. the sugar
trust lobby and the sugar trust sena-
tors This was granted. The PROPOSE
tion was the original duty ON raw sugar,
80 per cent ad valorcm. and ON every
one hundred pounds Of refined sugar,
q duty equal to the duty ON los pdunds
Of raw, or in the technical
terms, 100 TO los duty. Tho

ton stated that they would accept a

house conference cut IL down 10 100 Ia
