as certain as anything III the future
can be that Mr.. Olney as Secretary of
of State will make no change in the
foreign policy maugurated and MAIN
tanned by the late Secretary Gresham,
and it is believed that the knowledge
that he would not was what caused
President Cleveland to choose Mr..
Olney for the place.

| It is needless to attempt to say in
advance what sort of a Secretary of
State Mr. Olney will make, but nine
out of every ten men who have come
into personal contact with him rs
Attorney General, without the advan-
tage of a personal introduction or a
letter from one of his personal friends,
will agree as to one kind of Secretary
| that he will not make-a popular one:
he isn't built that way. Those who
have pierced the invisible but none
the less real wall of frigidity which
surrounds his person say that lie is a
most agreeable gentleman, but they
are so few in number that they do not
count with the frozen out public. He
| differs as much in this respect from
the later Secretary Gresham as it is
possible for one man to differ from
another, and the foreign diplomats
will probably for that reason regard
him as All ideal Secretary of State.
There was quite sensation in the
Treasury Department this week when
Charles b. Morton, of Maine, was
without any explanation dismissed
from the Office of Auditor for the Navy
Department which he has held since
early in the present administration.
He is said to have written letters
criticizing almost to the extent of
personal abuse, President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle.

For many years those who have
given the subject much study have
been quietly advocating tue advantages
the worlde would derive from the
establishment of an international gold
coin which could be circulated in
all countries, but 1t is likely to be a
hofora 1,n
put in circulation, as it could not be
done without the consent of all the
countries concerned, and countries are
slow to agree to financial changes, as
the people of the United States very
well know. At meeting of the
National Statistical Association, held
here this week, Mr.. Henry Farquhar,
assistant statistician of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, read a paper
advocating the establishment of an
international coin, which was discuss
ed by the Association and will be
printed in its journal.

There's screw loose somewhere
in the machinery connected with the
Treasury's gold seserve, but up to date
the officials have not been able to
locate it. The gold reserve now stands
within a fraction of 500, ,0OO,OO, and
the bond syndicate has $4,000, 900
more to pay between this and the
middle of October. That's all right
so far as it goes, but what is worrying
the officials is the knowledge that
more gold IS being taken out of the
Treasury of late than is required for
ordinary business purposes, and their
inability to find out who IS withdraw
ing the gold and why is it being with
drawn. Supicion would naturally
first fall upon the bond syndicate, but
officials declare that the bond syndicate
is ".toting fair'' and is not withdraw
ing gold. Still, it would not greatly
surprise some people to see the with
drawals Ct gold rapidly increased
about the time the syndicate make $
its last payment and is ready to handle
another issue Of bonds.
