THE murder of State Senator Peter
Morrissey has called the attention OF
the public to the fact that some of our
'statesmen' are not all that they
should be. There are a good many
others just like Morrissey holding po-
sitions of honor and trust throughout
the country. The capacity for bad
whiskey and ability TO be tough is
about all some politicians have to
boast of. This state of affairs can be
changed by the voters examining into
the character of the men they vote
for. Many of them are beginning to
do so,

Senator Stewart made the following COM
ment upon the message: THE adoption of
the Presidents plan means 20-cent wheat and
2-cent cotton
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, membor OF the
Finance Committee, expressed himself as op-
posed to the gold bond issue, and as char
grined that the President had made no larger
concessions to silver.
Representative Bland said: ga gold bond
means gold standard, and this IS the first
Presidential proposition ever made that brings
Congress to the direct issue between the gold
standard and bimetallsm. Silver is wholly
ignored as redemption fund for government
obligations"
Mr. John Dewitt Warner member of the
Banking and Currency Committee: "Retire
the greenbacks and Treasury notes; make fu-
ture bonds payable in gold only; recognize
what is the fact that We are on a gold basis
and that until the worlds commerce shall
otherwise decree silver is to be considered as
subsidiary coinage only; confirm this by
making customs duties payable in gold II we
do these or five do the first of them we shall
have dug the grave of financial troubles to
which fiatmoney egal-tender legislation has
given origin.
Mr.. Bailey. of Texas: ''It is the cleanest cut
proposition to place the country on gold
basis ever made, and am utterly and abso-
lutely opposed to it."
Representative Bynum ''The message
meets by hearty approval, and believe the
plan is the only way out OF the difficulties
that surround the Treasury
Senator Hill indorsed the message without
apparent reservation. saying: 1.-THE President
states the situation very accurately. Perma-
nent as well as temporary relief should be
granted at once. l trust that there is good
sense and patriotism enough in the present
Congress not to refuse consideration of this
subject. The business interests of the coun-
try desire and demand action, and the Demo-
cratic party cannot afford to antagonize that
sentiment

Message TO Congress Relative to
the Treasury's Embarrassment.
BOND ISSUE RECOMMENDED
They Should Bear Three Per Cent. Interest
and Be Payable In Fifty Years-Might Be
Notes-Customs Dues Ought to Be Paid
In Gold-Mr. springers Bill-Comments.

President Cleveland sent message to Con.
gress yesterday in which he urges that body
to give immediate attention to the serious
condition of the finances. He declares that
the Secretary of the Treasury ought to be
authorized to issue bonds for the purpose of
procuring and maintaining sufficient gold
reserve, and the redemption and cancellation
Of legal-tender notes and the Treasury notes
issued for the purchase Of silver under the
law of July IA, 1880.
The President suggests that these bonds
should be issued in denominations Of so
and $50, and their mutipies should bear 8
per cent interest and he payable in fifty
years. The Secretary of the Treasury should
be permitted ito receive on the sale of bonds
the legal tender and Treasury notes to be re-
tired which, when thus retired or redeemed
in gold should be cancelled.
FOR NATIONAL BANK CIRCULATION.
''These bonds says the President, could
be deposited by national banks as security
for circulation, and such banks should be
allowed to issue circulation up to the face
value of these or any other bonds so de-
posted, except bonds outstanding bearing
only per cent. interest and which sell in
the market at less than par.
National banks should not be allowed TO
take our circulating notes of less denomina-
tion than SO. and when such as are now out
standing reach the Treasury, except for re-
demption and retirement, they should be
Cancelled and notes of the denomination of
$40 and upward issued in their stead. Silver
certificates of the denomination of $40 and
upward should be replaced by certificates of
denominations under $40.
PAY CUSTOMS DUES IN GOLD.
Gas a constant means for the maintenance
of reasonable supply of gold in the Treasury
our duties on imports should be paid in gold,
allowing all other dues TO the government to
be paid in any other form of money"
The bill introduced by Chairman Springer,
of the Banking and Currency Committee. i'm
mediately after the reading of the message,
is framed on the lines of these suggestions Of
the President. /. was referred to his COM

THE WOMANs NEWSPAPER.


Many newspaper publishers still cling to
the belief that their readers are principally
mon. or they would stop publishing so much
political and scientific information and de-
vote more of their columns TO news for
women. Instead of publishing a home paper
with variety of local information concern
ing society and domestic affairs. they search
the world for news that concerns only men
interested in financial, political, or scientific
life.
Women are the great readers Of the day.
They have more time and inclination than
men, and newspapers that meet their ap-
proval are more successful aHd largely
patronized than their prosy and opinionated
contemporaries. They like 10 see illustra-
tions OF fashions and read comments on So
ciety fads, stories and scenes OF domestic
life. and short, bright sketches of brilliant
men and women. They are also interested
in concise and well-stated political informa-
tion, and also carefully read news kilograms
if not too long.
THE TINES is especially woman's paper,
and its Sunday issue has become popular
favorite in Washington family circles Each
day its columns contain attractive woman's
reading, and it publishes no long. wearisome
political gossip. All its financial, political,
and general information is given in a clear
and concise manner, and not only women,
but men, always find The TIMES bright and
newsy.

THE cEANGR OF FRONT.


President Cleveland's change of front and
hls desire to take up and cancel the legal
tender and Treasury notes through the issue
of low Understanding bonds must be n sur
prise to those who believed him Interchangeable.
Heretofore he has claimed that a revision of
our currency system was all that was neces-
sary to bring financial relief, and his remark
able conversion to an entirely different prop
osition is unexpected.
Under ordinary circumstances the issue of
$500. 600. 600 of gold bonds would be mex
cusable. The creating OF such an enormous
Understanding debt can only be warranted
by an extreme emergency. but that emer-
gency exists and Congress Should not hesitate
to act For wears Wall street has been ac-
cused of controlling our financial policy. In
times of necessity New York bankers have
practically dictated terms to this govern
ment, and under the modest plea Of coming
TO the assistance of our Treasury have in
sisted upon sales of bonds at high rates of in
terest
Through the use OF the legal-tender and
Treasury notes, these bankers have plundered
=
tanned a power over financial affairs that has
left the country in a constant state of alarm.
The withdrawal of the legal-tender and
Treasury notes from circulation would de-
prive them OF that power aud release
the country from Wall street control. 1t
would increase the amount of our interest
bearing debt, but that is preferable to the use
Of our Treasury for speculative gain.
The other propositions in Mr.. Cleveland's
message are necessary TO make up for the
contraction OF our currency caused by the
withdrawal Of the legal-tender and Treasury
notes. There is nothing especially objection
able in either of them, and Congress can
render no greater service than by the i'm
me!iate passage of the new financial bill.
NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF CLEVELAND.
1t must not be construed that because the
Senate adopted a resolution indorsing the
non-interferenee in Hawaiian affairs policy
Of President Clevelands administration that
ii is also an Endorsement of President Cleve-
land. The resolution Is in strict accord with
the Democratic doctrine of minding our own
business, and President Cleveland is on rec
ord as interfering in the Hawaiian i'm
broglio.
His attempt TO restore Queen Lilioukalani
10 the throne was Tot Democratic nor was it
approved by a Democratic Congress. And
until goaded into publishing his letter to the
Queen Lii commission it was generally be-
lieyed that Mr.. Cleveland was sulking be-
cause Of his failure.
There could be nothing gained 10y interfer-
ing in Hawaiian affairs That little republic
can take care of itself and needs no assistance
from this country. The ordering OF the Phil
adelphia to Honolulu to protect American
interests is sufficient to show our desire for
good order, and further than that we should
not go, unless at the request OF the Hawaiian
republic.
