UNPARDONABLE DELAY.

Those critics, Republican and dep
uty Republican, who have been firing
hot shot at the president because
he chose this time for a duck shoot
their attention to the performances
of Hon. Thomas Bracket Reed. The
wheels of public business are per-
manently blocked, and there is no
possible use for the presence Of Mr..
Cleveland or his cabinet, or anybody
else for that matter, at the national
capital until the speaker has ap-
pointed his committees, and congress
is ready to get down to business. 1t
is Mr.. Reeds sole fault that legisla-
ton is not now under way. The
speaker has not announced his COM
mfttees. He will not announce them
until just before the adjournment for
the holiday recess. Congress has
been in session for two weeks. 1t
will be more than a month old when
it reassembles after the recess;
and that month of services for which
the people pay, and which their rep
resentatives are expected to render,
has been absolutely wasted by the in
action of the speaker.
Under ordinary circumstances
there is some excuse for a speaker
who takes his time about making
up his committees. 1t is an impor-
tant task, and the gentleman elected
to that office is not sure of success
until the final moment This was not
true in the case of Mr.. Reed. 1t is
now more than thirteen months since
Mr.. Reed knew absolutely that he
would be speaker of the house in the
Fifty-fourth congress, and had in his
possession complete list of the
members of the body over which he
was to preside. The majority elected
by the Republicans in November,
1894, was so great as to make any
Democratic contest for the speaker
ship a matter of mere form. No 9TH
er name than that of Mr.. Reed was
so much as suggested on the Repub-
lican side, and everybody knew that
none would be. Mr.. Reed was just
as certain of the speakerShip year
| ago as he was when he actually as

devoted to a water supply reserva-
ton, guarded by some forestry sys-
tenn that will insure the perpetuity
of the timber and of the waters that
now turn the wheels of the mills
and float the cargoes of produce. To
this policy the Minnesota represent
atives in congress, and the senator's
as well, might better devote them
selves than to securing a tariff on
eggs, potatoes and barley.

English Comment.

ii LONDON, Dec. 16.-The Times says
this morning in an editorial: "Secre-
barry Carlisle's scheme appears to be
thorough-going, comprehensive and
well thought out. We fear, however,
that its soundness and feasibility, were
they ever so clearly demonstrated,
would not avail with the present ma
jority in congress"
The Standard thinks the Republicans
will prefer to continue making deficits
to reducing the tariff. "Still," adds the
Standard, Secretary Carlisle's report
proves that American statesmen are
making progress on the "ncy ques-
tbon, and gives hope ~ the future"
The Chronicle d. IS not believe the
present congress v II retire the treas
ury notes or do an hing with the cur
rency question. 6 7he more hopeful
method would be to reduce the national
expenditures, especially for pensions"

VICIOUS sENsATIONALISM

Reports are circulated by tele-
graph from New York every few
days which bear upon their. face
evidence that they are intended for
speculative purposes. These an
nounce to the public, with periodic
regularity, that further shipments
Of gold on a large scale are ex-
pected regardless of the exchange
market" that there will be no legis-
lation affecting our monetary system,
and that alarm is felt both by capt.
talists here and by investors abroad.
Such statements as these, incorporat-
ed in dispatches which purport to
deal with the regular movement of
trade, are scarcely less than GRIM
inal. The situation, as we have
stated it repeatedly, is not encourag-
ing Neither is it one to call for
the services of the alarmiSt. We
know exactly what we have to ex-
pect. There will be a large increase
in gold shipments abroad, in all prob
ability, soon after the first of the
year. These will not be made re
gardless of the exchange market,
but because the rates of exchange
are such as to make gold shipments
profitable. This will be on account
of a slackening of the export of
breadstuffs and provisions. 1t is
something that occurs every year.
It would not be of any more con-
Germ to us than the rise and fall of the
tides were it not for a monetary sys-
tenn which permits the whole Of the
gold desired for export to be drawn
from the reserve of the United States
treasury. Since the existence of the
greenbacks allows every broker to
pull gold out Of the treasury at his
pleasure, and since the maintenance
of the reserve is essential to prevent
excitement in financial circles and
business depression, more bonds will
have to be sold to supply the treas
ury if congress refuses to retire the
paper money redeemable in gold.
This is the plain fact of the situa-
ton, which is in no wise different
from what it has been. We know
what we have to expect, and we
know Just how it must be met. There
is no call for sensationalism in pre-
senting the case. 1t is quite evident
that speculative influences in New
York, as we'll as the natural condi-
tions of trade, have something to do
with the gold movement. The bear
influence in the market has direct
stake in circulating such reports as
that which we have quoted, which tend
to depress the prices of all secur-
tiles, and lower the tone of the mar
ket. In addition to all the other evil
influences of our existing currency
system, it thus offers a strong in
centive to the speculator to make
an attack upon public prosperity for
the purpose of beating down prices.
A conscientious press will refuse,
as far as possible, to be party to any
such scheme. But it is most de-
plorable that the lack of interest and
patriotism in congress should insist
upon leaving open an opportunity to
the street to create market condi-
tions favorable to selfish interests at
the cost of public prosperity.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Dec. 10
George Bluford, familiarly and gem
orally known as George Washing

poor farm today. He was an eccentric
colored man who drifted here at the
close of the rebellion, after having
served in the One Hundred and Second
United States colored troops, enlstlng
at Pulaski, Tenn. He was aged eighty
years. He had papers drawn up for
pension years ago and had a perfect
case. but he could not be induced to
sign the necessary application, declar-
ing he feared that if he signed the pa
per he would be again consigned to

EXIT CAMERON.

1t would be amusing, were it not
so pitiful, to read the comment OF
the Pennsylvania press upon the in
tention announced by Don Cameron
to leave the United States senate
at the expiration of his present term.
This declaration of Mr.. Cameron
means nothing more nor less than
that Mr.. Quay has thrown him over
board. The diminutive element of
decency that is still discoverable
among Pennsylvania Republicans
has opposed the schemes of both SEN
ators. Mr.. Quay, in his newly chosen
role of reform, has found that he
could get along excellently we'll with
out any help from his one-time ally,
Don Cameron. A part of his shrewd
game has been to throw Cameron
over as a tub to the popular whale.
He accomplishes two purposes by
this act. He poses, before men who
have not sacrificed all ideas Of right
public policy to the idol of protec-
ton, as an ardent reformer. Cam
eron is so rank a machine politician
that he cannot stomach him. At the
same time, it undoubtedly suits Mr..
Quay's purpose beautifully to name
the next senator himself.
The junior senator from Pennsyl-
vania will be the personal represent
ative and associate of Quay, exactly
as Murphy of New York, is Hills
alter ego; and as Mr.. Platt, of New
York, was originally the Man Fri
day of Roscoe Conkling. But the
Pennsylvania Republicans pretend
not to see this, and they are so de-
lighted with Don Cameron's volun-
ing him over daily with a mass of
fulsome praise which the actual rec
ord of this man in public life turns
to ridicule and shame. To read the
Pennsylvania newspapers two
months ago, at a time when they eX-
pected to have to fight Cameron for
the senatorship, and probably for
presidential nomination on the free
silver platform, no abuse of him was
too gross to find place. Now they will
tell you, from little to great, that he
is really a nobler man than his
friends have supposed, and that his
term in the senate has been one of
honor to himself and to the great
state which he represented.
The fact is, as every student of
public history is aware, that the rep
resentation of Pennsylvania by Don
Cameron, from the time that his
father lifted him bodily into a seat
there up to the present day, is a
shame and a disgrace. His name
is not connected with one single
measure of public value or impor-
tance in all his eighteen years in that
body. He has been one of the chronic
absentees. Scarcely a roll call, ex-
cept on some bill in which he was
personally interested, finds recorded
the name of Don Cameron. Twice
only has he ever exhibited any
| symptoms of independence, or stood
out in any way from the lowest rank
of partisans. Both of these occasions
were connected directly with a deal
promoted. Either because Of his in

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 16.-
M. B. Gunst, better known all over
the country as "Mose' Gunst, has
been confirmed by the supreme court
in his position as police commits
sioner, to which position he was ap-
pointed by Gov. Markham just be-
fore the latter retired from Office.
The position is life office. The ap-
pointment created a great stir all
over California, ministers and others
objecting to Gunst because of his
reputation as a sporting man. When
Gov. Budd came into Office he
promptly appointed Stewart Men
sizes, highly respected citizen, to
succeed Gunst, but the latter re-
fused to give up his Office.

On the other hand Mr. Childs holds
that the petition for the transfer must
contain So per cent of the entire poll list
of the territory in question and moi
simply So per cent of those who voted
at the last election. This makes
larger number of names necessary than
was supposed. The state board will ~

whether the necessary number has beer

Of plan for the issue were partially

The New York Tribune, noting that
the South Carolina constitution will
go into effect without being submit
ted to vote of the people, gets hys-
terical and wants to know if this
is a democracy or an oligarchy." If
South Carolina makes any answer
to this jeremiad, it would be simply
to point to the historical fact that
the first constitution of New York
was adopted by the state assembly
in 1777, and was not submitted to

sumed the office. He knew just as
we'll a year ago as he knows today
who would be members of the house,
and what the material out of which
his committees must be constituted.
There is no reason, therefore, why
Mr.. Reed should not, when he took
his seat. have had already in his
pocket a complete committee list. If
thirteen months are not long enough
to prepare one, two weeks additional
will not impart greater wisdom.
Instead of being ready to facili-
tate the business of the country, the
speaker has taken the same oppor-
tunity for delay that would have
been assumed by raw man, uncer-
tain up to the very last moment Of
his election, and unfamiliar with the
wishes, as to their place on commit
tees, of the members of the body over
which he was to preside. The re-
sponsibility for this unnecessary de-
lay, this waste or public time, this
neglect of the duties that press upon
the present congress, is placed upon
the broad shoulders Of Mr.. Thomas
B. Reed. This one man, without
warrant, without reason and without
excuse, has said to every department
of the government that there should
be absolute inaction as to legislation,
and anything that legislation might
is in harmony with the "do nothing"
policy to which Mr.. Reed has COM
mitted himself, but is not in line with
individual honesty or a high sense of
duty to the public.
