1t appears elsewhere that it is one of
the bimetallio thesis that the value of
gold Is determined by its purchasing
power. We presume the same is the case
with silver. It is another thesis of the
bimetalists that if our mints were open
to free coinage, silver would advance to
81. 90 an ounce-and of course that ad-
vance would indicate by an increase in
its purchasing power. Now if this ad-
vance should take place, In what way
would free coinage prove beneficial to
the debtor class for whom it is especial
iy recommended?

MAYOR sTRoHG,s MIsTAKE.

Mayor Strong, OF New YORK. has done just
what THE TIMES thought he should not do.
but waat a good many people predicted he
would DO: He has retained Supt. Byrnes at the
head Of the New York city police force.
DR.. Parkhurst has good reason for his in
dignation. Byrnes may he as guil.less as a
newborn babe Of the corruption and mis-
deeds which the Lexow investigation brought
TO light. but he has been too closely identi-
fed with the fountain head -Tammany-t 10
inspire that public confidence which ought
10 accompany the reorganization of the great
city's police department.
Byrnes is not essential to the execution OF
any new scheme that may be evolved. No
matter how eminent the qualifications he may
possess and how high the purpose 10y which
he may be animated. his usefulness will be
seriously hampered. Besides, no man is in
dispensable. If Byrnes were to die to-day
some one would have to be found to do the
work which Mayor Strong seems to think
none can do as well.
Mayor Strong, we fear. has made grave
mistake

LAW, ETHICS AND BUSINESS.

JIdge Coles decision in the case OF the sugar
trust witnesses, especially as regards the cor
respondents, Messrs. Edwards and Shriver, is
probably good law for Judge Cole is an able
jurist. but it is doubtful il it will influence
newspaper men with respect to divulging
communications made to them in confidence.
1t is a question in which professional ethics
and professional success count for more than
the furtheranee Of the ends of justice when
that much-abused commodity is sought to be
dispensed by Congressional committee. The
discretion practiced by a newspaper reporter
in keeping inviolate his promise to protect
the identity OF his informant in any given
case gives him a reputation that is Of money
value to him in his business. and he is not
likely TO injure il at the bidding of a commit
tee OF Congress or even by obeying the man.

should land him in prison cell.
Perhaps all this is very sad, viewed from a
purely judicial standpoint. but it is fact

AN as uRp UTTERANCF.

The newiy-e.ecteI Senator Thurston, OF
Nebraska, uttered a pretty but meaningless
sentiment when h. said ''it would be better TO
have gold at premium than prosperity at a
discount +" Gold at premium means pros
perty al n dis count. and every experience of
nation or declaration OF statesman will so
prove it.
Gold at a premium in n country that
depends largely upon foreign investment
invariably causes a decline in stock and
all values that require gold payments
either for principal or interest. 1t means an
Unseltling Of prices. especially on articles pur-
chased abroad. IL would increase the cost OF
living without materially advancing wages,
and cause distress 10 waSe-earners. 1t would
bring about financial disturban ees aud create
a financial panic, and if Senator Thurston
has nothing better 10 offer than such danger

with the currency, except to end way to
prevent speculation in Treasury gold. Pros

not on ponderous financial schemes. Finan-

certainty as to future legislation on these i'm

Three Battle Ships and Twelve torpedo
Boats to Be Built.
The naval appropriation bill, which will
be reported to the full committee of the
House tomorrow, will contain provisions for
adding 10 the navy the three battle ships and
twelve torpedo boats which Secretary Her

ships is limited to $1,000 600, and one OF
them Is to be bCilt on the Pacific coast.
Three OF the torpedo bo9ts, 1t Is stipulated,
shall be constructed in navy yards. ma
;ority OF the Subcommittee is in favor OF hay
in, the work done by Il contract instead OF in
the navy yards. on the ground OF economy
and the saving OF tine.
The committee has proilted By the lessons
OF the Japan-Chca war. and considering that
the superior effectiveness OF rapid IRE guns
was clearly demonstrated by tie 1alu River
fight has made provision sor 4 large numter
of them. The de;euse of the northern border
WAS considered in the matter.
Under the existing treaty With Great Britain

lakes is limae1 to one ship, bat II was recog-
nized that contingencies might arise, al
though highly improbable, wherein it would
be necessary to provide an armament for de-
fense in short time. and the feasibility OF
arming turtle-backs with rapid fire guns
recommended itself.

the Carnegie armor-piate troubles. and the
continuation Of the armor-plate contracts is
provided for, it being left to the Secretary of

IN CHARITY,s CAUSE.

The generous manner in which the public
is respondingto appeals to aid the poor is en-
couraging to those who have the work in
charge. There is need Of liberal gifts and
earnest work in charlty's cause TO relieve the
suffering brought on by winter weat her.
Dull times and loss of employment has been
extremely disastrous to our poor, and their
distress has been heightened by the recent
cold.
Give freely, give quickly, and urge all who
are in good circumstances to lend hand in
relieving want This is no time to argue the
causes Of poverty nor to advance theories as
TO how it can be abolished. Prompt Iiberality
is necessary to prevent suffering, and after
that has been cared for we can spend our
time in discussing philanthropy.

CLOAK ROOM AND GALLERY.

There was an exciting election in the House
OF Representatives yesterday, and one which
was OF more personal interest to corre-
spondents than any public affair OF which they
might write columns OF matter. The election
was for member of the press committee,
which has charge OF making rules for the
government OF the press galleries. Mr.. +. A.
G. Handy having resigned his position as a
member of the comGittee to accepta govern
ment Office the election was held TO deter
mine who his successor should be. MIR. John
C. Williams, of the New York Herald, was
honored by receiving the largest number of
votes.
An amusing incident Of the contest oc-
CURED when Mr.. Walter Weiiman, of Arctic
fame, arrived on the scene to east his ballot.
AT last Mr.. Wellman has arrived at the
polls" sang out one of his fellow corre-
spondents. -'t''--
Although Mr. Wellman was the Inst OF the
sixty men who cast their votes TO arrive at
the polls, no one doubts that If he persists
in his efforts to get on top of the earth where
the North star will shine directly over his
head, he will not be the last to arrive at that
coveted position
Ex-United States Senator T. W. Tiptcn, OF
Nebraska, was on tho floor Of the Senate the
other day listening TO debate on the cur
rency question. Senator Upton has arrived
at three score and ten years of age but he
still retains the yigor of much younger
man. He was the first United States Senator
10 be elected from Nebraska and served two
terms.
He was one OF the men who always
crowded the galleries and filed the floor OF
the Senate when he was to speak. He was
a1N Ia
trite way so that his auditors remembered the
striking sentences of his discourse. He WAS
one of the men VINO voted for the impeach-
mept OF Andrew Johnson, and would have
been elected for third term had not his in
dependence in politics piaeed him at var-
ance with his party leaders.
On the occasion OF his visit to the Senate
the other day he sat quietly observing wha:
was going on. and his retiring manner would
never have suggested TO any one that during
his occupancy of Il seat in the upper houss
OF Congress he was frequently the central
figure OF attra tion in that body.
The eXclusiveness Of United States Sena-
tors is an old story. For a long time the
august gentlemen who are elected to help
govern their country by State legislatures in
I stead o. by the people have en- Dyed the ey-
clusiveness' OF II separate dining-room at
tacbed to the Senate restaurant. Previous
10 the present Congress it Was not often that
Senators cared FOR more eX"lusiveness than
this exclusive privilege allowed them. II is
now not unusual for Senator to take lunch
IN mis- comnittee-room.
Senator Brice. of Ohio. is fond OF taking his
midday luncheon in this manner and good
many others follow his example. The com
miftee-.oom lunch is Il fayoriie with Senators
who wish to talk over little matters OF busi-
ness either with politicians or prominent citi-
zens resident in their states II TIE luncheon
is properly served in this quiet and seclusive
style IT is an important element in reconciIing
conflicting views on pending measures.
