snnnre.-Inr the rrnth-

Why is it that public men in speaking
upon public questions so often suppress
the truth? DO they not lessen their In
nuence by doing 50? Ex-speaker Reed in
his speech on the currency bin on Tues
day said that one cause OF the financial
trouble is the Wilson tariff. which he
declared does not provide sufficient reve-
nue..
Why did he not also say that the Nc
Kinley tariff did not provide sufficient
revenue2 The Mckinley tariff was a re-
publican tariff. and he IS a republican.
He neglected to tell the whole truth for
partisan reasons.
1t is a fact that there was a deficit
in the treasury at the close Of the Harri-
son administration. 1t amounted to many
millions Of dollars. Harrison's secretary
of the treasury was preparing to issue
bonds 10 meet the deficiency. but con-
Guided that it would be better politics to
transfer the burden to the incoming
Cleveland administration.
1t would be far better for public men
when dealing with important questions TO
tell the whole truth. 1t IS a mistake 70
try to mislead the people. Mr.. Reed gains
nothing in the estimation OF woll-informed
and fair minded men by trying to have
it understood that the Mckinley tariff
provided ample revenue while the Wilson
tariff does not.
If the Republican party had succeeded IN
retaining control of the government 1t
would have had to amend the McKin-
ley tariff in order to get sufficient reve-
nue. to carry on the government. What
folly is IL then for the republican leaders
and the republican papers to be contin-
ually asserting that the governments
financial embarrassment comes from dem
ocratic meddling with the tariff. II there
were more honesty and less partisan
politics among public men the country
would be much better off.

himself does not seem to De very enthu-
siastic in behalf Of that measure. though
he does not risk his Presidential pros
poets in the least by favorin.s it. Stree It
settles nothing
The President has declared his purpose
TO maintain gold payments whatever may
be the cost Of doing so. If tho outflow OF
gold begins again he will undoubtedly all
thorize an issue Of bonds for gold Ife
will probably issue ( per cent. bonds and
get as high premium for them as he can.
The bankers. it Is said, offer to take 500
Oo0 900 Of them on a Sis cents basis. The
President il is understood. is trying TO get
them accepted on a per cent basis. There
is no doubt that If congress had author
lied a 3 per cent. gold bond they could
have been sold both in this country aal
abroad at par. Congress has refused TO
act. however. and the cost Of the refusal
will amount to millions of dollars.
Politics is what has caused congress 70
refuse TO enact any financial legislation.
There is majority in favor OF sound
money in both branches of congress, but
the most Of those who compose that ma-
jority are so afraid of the free coinage
silver sentiment that they hesitate %
act in accordance with their convictions.
Even Mr. Reed who is generally out-
spoken upon any matter that comes be-
fore the House, straddles the currency
question. He is a Presidential candidate,
and he isn't going to say anything that
would likely injure his popularity IT is
regrettable that there is not more indie
pendence among congressman. Too many
of them for the good of the country endea,

any question upon which their RESPECTIVE

President win snow himself unequal TO the
responsibility placed upon him. Congress
may shirk its duty, but he will not.

Politics and the Treasury.
From the baltimore News denny.


The Importance of the secretary's esti-
mate of a surplus of about so. GOA 0a9' for
the year 1898 lies in the fact that the head
Of the treasury department has ceased to
furnish estimates for political purposes
and come down 10 estimates for business
purposes. There have been too much poli-
tics N the treasury, and it is comforting 10
know that the secretary is no longer
afraid either to tell the truth about the
tariff from the revenue point Of view, in
open opposition to Senator German or to
allow a treasury official to be seen in the
great financial center Of the country in
the discharge Of official duty. But the
enemies Of the administration will not he
brought to surrender their insensate hate
of Mr.. Cleveland by Mr.. Cariisle's esti-
mate. They win continue to ignore their
public duty ana force the government
credit to be guarded and preserved BY the
President by the sale of bonds AT an in
terest rate such as our government ought
not To pay. The talk about a deficit in the
revenue was a. political subterfuge, de
signed TO make the present treasury con-
dition appear TO beattributable to a cause
which neither existed nor would have ac-
counted for it Il il had existed.

The Gold Standard
From the Louisville Courler-Journa

The meaning of the gold standard does
not appear 10 be as well understood as IL
Should be. 1t is, of course. to the interest
of the extreme silver advocates TO mislead
the people as far as possible upon this
point. They talk pathetically of the propo-
stton to put the country on the single"
gold standard. They also talk with a pre-
tense of wisdom about the double stan
dard.' We note here an evident intention
TO confound standards with circulating
media. A double standard is IMPOSSIBLE
but various sorts of money are quite prac-
ucable. standard is something by the
aid Of which We measure. A monetary
standard is that by which we measure
values Now We may have two meas
ures, but we can not have a double meas
uIe. We have two pounds, Troy pound
of SEQ grains, and an avoirdupois pound
of 1900 grains. But we have 10 double
pound, no double standard of weight. We
csn buy and sell gold. silver, wheat, corn
or any other commodity, by either of these
pounds, but not by both in the same trans
action. We may have the Troy standard
or the avoirdupois standard of weight: but
can any one conceive of a double standard
of weight?

ReveDues Under the New Tariff.
From the New York Herald Hndl.

There is good reason to believe that the
new tariff viii yield a large surplus The
increase of receipts from customs duties
the first of January was attributed to the
fact that The new wooden tariff then took
effect. and the increase was considered
temporary. But after the great rush of
imported wooden was over the increase

of returning confidence and prosperity IN
business than this increase of imports,
which promises to be sustained when the
spring opens and the prospect of next
summers crops inspires fresh hope and en-
terprise. 1t is now perfectly clear that the
Senate should at once pass the House bills

Now that Mrs. Dominis has "volun-
tarily" given up her claim to the throne
of Hawaii and taken the oath of allegiance
to the republic. it is interesting to look
back for few months upon the Hawaiian
affair. During the administration of Ben
jamin Harrison. republican, it was pro-
posed that the government of the United
States should purchase from eX-Queen Lii
iuokalani her crown and lay it at the feet
Of Dole Under the Harrison terms the
ex-queen was to receive pension of So =
coo a year, and her heir, the Princess
Kaiulani, was to get lump Of $50, coo. The
widow of Gen. [. S. Grant receives a PEN
sion of $1,000 a year. The widow of Gen.
Phil Sheridan receives n like sum. Yet
the patriotic republicans desired to pen
sion that ridiculous and prohigate ne
gress" with a sum nearly seven times
as great as the sums received by Mrs.
Grant and Mrs Sheridan. Under the
Cleveland administration the ridiculous
negress" has laid down her claim, and it
costs the United States not one red cent.
Suppose Liliuokalani had accepted Har-
rison's terms, and come to this country as
the beneficiary Of our government; as the
most favored favorite of the pension sys-

ceived from the jingoists of New England

secretnrr smith,s Fntnre.

1t would be interesting to know the di-
rection in which Secretary Smiths ambi-
ton is leading him. The newspapers are
taking a good deal Of interest in him, or
at least his plans for the future, and that
justlaes the inference that he is man of
considerable Importance.
Our dispatches yesterday from Wash
ington stated that he has his eyes on
the supreme court bench-that he ex-
poets to be the successor of Mr.. Justice
jackson, for whose retirement a bill is
now pending in the Senate. The great am
bition Of his life. the dispatch stated, is to
be a justice of the supreme court.
y New York paper has the following in
respect to Mr. Smiths ambition: "a pig
iron man-not a man of pigiron, but one
who deals therein-met Hoke Smith in At
lanta the other day, and says the Secre-
tary of the Interior is the busiest man in
the south. He is ambitious to be governor
of Georgia And this design he is now pro-
noting by making himself as solid as pos
sible with representative Georgians in bus
mess, politics and saloon keeping"
The same paper says that Mr. Smith is
now very dignified in his manners, and
is therefore very uncomfortable. because
it is not his nature to be dignified. We are
sure that Mr.. Smith is not dignified for a
purpose It may be that he is a little
more reserved than when he was picking
up fees as an Atlanta lawyer. because the
cares of his great office are calculated to
crush some of the ale-fellow-well-met out
of him, but doubtless to those who know
him well he is the same kind-hearted gen.
tleman that he was in the old days.
But does he want to be governor of
Georgia or a justice of the supreme court?
That is a bothering question. Does the
fact that he has bought a house in
Athens throw any light upon it? Perhaps
Mr. Smith will disclose his plans for the
future shortly in order to save the news
papers and his friends the trouble OF
specializing about them.

a greater tragedy 1t will be remembered
that the party went hunting and killed

closed season for Cinnamon at Chin Kiang.
hence the anger Of the natives because
OF the infraction of their game laws.

range of possibilities that a concerted

be the outcome. At any rate, and what
ever may be the result of the incident,
there can be little doubt that the party
from the Concord have before this become
