full and unobstructed sway there, and,
what's more, that if he hadn't, be

way and all his ministers defantly de-
clare that they will resist to the bitter
end the restoration of Catholic schools.
The excitqffent is intense. In the
churches preachers yesterday confined
their remarks to the impending strug-
gle, Protestant preachers urging Pro-
testants to stand firm against the
remedial order issued by the Governor
General of Canada last week, and the
Catholic clergy appealing to their focks
to never give up the fight. A few, who
foresee the consequences, are urging
moderation, but the spirit of faction is
so fierce their counsels are unheeded.
1t seems now that if an attempt is
made to enforce the Governor-Gener-
ais order revolution will be inevitable.

~ this question to which I have already
Incidentally aIluded-the admission OF tne
state banks to the privilege OF Issue
equally with the national. CONFESS my
utter inability to conceive that the sense
of political justice among the Aineriedh
people has so degenerated that they eoui'
consent 10 this important right OF ISSUE
being constituted a monopoly OF parucu-
lar set OF banks. 1t is both right ana
necessary that the Federal authority
should determine the conditions upon
which this currency should be issued,
and also that the Federal power should
see TO the execution of its own laws
provided for that purpose; but, having
gone SO far In the interest OF the wnoie
people. Congress Ia bound TO extend the
privilege TO every Incorporated bank,
whether State or national. Insisting only
that the same legal prescriptions shall
be enforced In the one case as in the
other. That principle being observed, the
notes OF both classes OF banks would be
intrisically and equally national. The
critical attitude assumed by some friends
OF the national banks towards the state
institutions finds no warrant in the COM
paratye merits of the two. IL IN sus-
ccptibe Of demonstration, from data con-
tanned i'm the reports OF the Comptroiler
OF the Currency, that, according 10 the
the State banks are not less deserving
of confidence than the national. At any
rate, they constitute a large and beneh-
cent interest of the American people,
and as such are not to be sighted as an
inferior caste, or deprived OF the priVl-
leges accorded to another like interest
The incorporation In our statutes Oh such
an offensive discrimination would be 10
the last degree unwise. 1t would De an
abuse of the Federal power directly car
culated to weaken that power by roDDins
1t of the public respect. Beyond these
considerations, REIMBURSEMENT or the
State banks is, as | have already shown,
INDISPENSABLE to the procurement of an
amount of bank issues large enough 10
compensate for the withdrawal of the
legal tenders; and their admission to the
privilege of issue thereby becomes an es-
sential element in currency reform.
Neither in a political sense nor in
monetary sense can this great money ques-
ton ever be finally settled upon any condi-
itionS short of granting this right to all
incorporated banks upon identical condi-
tiOns. That numerically large class in
the West and the South who have hitherto
voted with the slver-prOducing States on
the question of free coinage are now will
ing TO accept the embarrassment Of the
State banks in exchange for their silver
policy; but, If their banks are to be pro-
Scribed. they must, of course return TO
their allegiance to silver, and with what
dire results to our currency system none
can foretell. There is no escaping the
demands of political equity in this mat
ter.

WOMEN A BREAD WINNERS.

The stanton Post makes a strong ar
gument in favor of women engaging in
any labor suited TO their sex. Our con-
temporary believes there is much of
sham and hypocrisy in the Views of wo-
man and her sphere entertained by Vlr-
ginians. We are rapidly soaring above
the old and mistaken idea that work is
destructive OF womanly modesty and in
furious 10 health and beauty-a kind of

Courier journal, from which The Times
quoted a few days ago, that paper took
the same position which the Post mas as
sumed in this matter.

Secretary Lamont Said 10 Have Arranged


The New York Sun yesterday. speaking
OF Senator HIS presence at the CaDi-
net dinner at the White House. says.
An attempt has been made 10 attach
some significance to the fact that s eha
tor Hill escorted TO the table the WIDOW
OF Senator Hearst, and another matri-
.noniai engagement has accord nSly oec.i
announced. Senator Hill IaugnlngIy said
last night that he supposed the pupllc
would marry him again. but he resaiu-
ed the rumor of sucn "a thing as too ab-
surd to be commented upon.
Whether IL shall be developed that
Senator Hill accepted the Presidents IN
vitation merely because he thought II
was his duty as senator 10 10 so, or
whether IL shall be found that the
meeting was prearranged, the Wasnlns
ton public will continue to attach great
significance TO the incident MIR. HIlis

Secretary Lamont or some other mutual
friend brought about the invitation ana
its acceptance, and nearly all OF them
criticised the Senator for what they can

dents hospitality and thus putting MIN

Mr.. HIS colleague. Senator Murphy
does not attempt 10 conceal mis- magma

ton, and regards II as an abJect sur
render of Mr.. Hill to the President FOR
more than a year past Senator Murphy
has criticised nearly all the public acts
OF his colleague. ana he is inclined to-
day 10 think that Mr.. HIS presence az
the state dinner last night means that
that Senator has accepted the Presldenl >
overtures for peace, and that a recon-
citation has been effected for future
political use. Other senator's agree with
MIR. Murphy. and in the cloak-room To-
day the opinions of those who have Deen
regarded as political defenders on MI
Hill were practically unanimous on TINS
point. one Senator offered as an eNpia-
nation of Senator Hills willingness TO De

President Cleveland. of course, hates MI;
German, and 50 does Senator Hill, ana
perhaps the gossips are somewhat near

Hill have buried the hatchet for the pur-
pose of burying German.
Secretary Lamont viii, of course, not
admit yet tat his was the fine ltallan
hand that brought his chief and the
senior Senator from New York together
i'm the White House. but sooner or later
the facts will be brought out, and IL Is
more than probable that IL VIII then

mons not to be ignored.

M TRICK, ABOUT THE BALLOT.

T, is very plain that reformation Oh
elections in the South is taking strohe
hold IN that region itself. THIS is INC
g. ., f,,i, of an abandonment of the ke-
publican party idea of trying 10 man
men honest by bayonets, spies ana ohi'eu
States marshals. 1t Is the mshes' po''i
,,o testimonial TO the virtue that lies IN
tho nr,p.inIe of allowing every locality TO
Central SIC own affairs. When this Is
done IL is certain that the neral anu
the yirile elements of that locality wall
dominate 1t in time.
There Is a danger, however, In the pro-
greg, of the movement. The politicians
sn office and those seeking office will en-
deayor TO warp the move into cohsutu-
tionaI conventions to disfranchdse Inc
negroes by a trick and a device. Inc
Times opposes this sort of dishonesty do
unsitvelv as any other sort of dishon-
esty. The negro is a voter by tho 1unda-
mental law of the land. 1t IS our duty 10
to recognize that fact and II IS our
further duty to endeavor to controi MN
in the direction of clean and honest gov
ernment by the methods of argument ana
ne,,s,,a sion and by kind treatment OF him,
instead of by tricks and the ways OF the
ballot-box suffer

thought they had ended all their troubles
when they adopted a Constitution d.
rectirg registrars to register none but

noeel. of course, that the registrars would
find all white men capable of understand
ing the Cons tuition, but no negroes cap
able of ii. We do not know what the
facts are, but we have recently seen IL
stated that out Of about 10000 voters
in the State only about 5000 voted in the
last congressional election in November.
The statement that white men, though
they can read will not go up to be ques-
toned and badgered about their learning
by inomsl torial and possibly impairment
registrars. AS we say, we know nothing
of the facts i'm the Mississippi case, but
II IS plain that that is one Of the most
natural consequences possible.
Let US cut ourselves loose from all suS-
gestions of this sort and stand on the
good, old FASHIONED Democratic doctrine

worls out right when we hold on 10 this

MORE OF THE ASHLEY PLAN.

THE more we think Of the plan for
currency system which Mr. Ashley OF
Ohio baS brought forward the more We
are convinced that with proper modliica-
lions IL will end all of our financial trou-
bles and give us the very currency sys-
tom that we stand In need Of. Many OF
his suggestions are crude and Impractical
bic. but the foundation one-the idea OF
the currency being under the control OF
a clearing house, consisting of banks, all
of whom are bound for all the notes or
each bank, is the important IDEA that
can be moulded and fashioned into
system that will meet all of our needs and
will make the question of repeating or
leaving in force the 10 per cent. tax one
of theory only.
We said yesterday that We thought the
country should be divided off into clear
ang-house districts. Further reflection.
however, has satisfied us that each State
should be made a clearinghouse district.
IL all the banks in a State, national and
State. are made capable of membership In
the association, 1t will be as large as 1t
ought 10 be. and II can then be run at
the minimum of expense. AS all the banks
In the State are 10 be bound for the
notes issued by each bank. the security
for the notes would be perfect, and as
the banks first admitted would them-
selves be the judge OF what banks should
be thereafter admitted to the association
and what should not, with a right TO
examine into the affairs OF all banks
applying for membership, it is certain
that none but sound banks would be
admitted. And, again, as the association
would have the right TO call for all the
collateral 10 secure banks notes that
1t found necessary, the association would
really run no sort OF risk in endorsing
the currency that bank issued.
The true plan is for Congress to pass
an act constituting all the national banks
in each State or such Of them as desired
to go into the scheme, body corporate.
TO be clearinghouse, with the privilege
10 those to admit any other bank in the
State TO membership. and that this assoc
citation, being bound for, the notes that
any bank In 1t may issue, may prescribe
the terms upon which those Issues may be
made.
II the privileges are extended to the
State banks the demands Of all will be
