cooperate with them in perfecting any

After that message was submitted certain
conditions prevailed in the money center of
the country resulting in slight panic. The
gold Withdrawals continued and on the
evening of the day marked by a general
decline of stocks the President. in a some
what dramatic manner. sent a special mes
sage to the Senate urging that there be no
holiday adjournment, and concluding thus:
81 ask at the hands of the Congress such
prompt aid as 1t alone has the power to give,
to prevent in a time Of fear and apprehen-
son any sacrifice of the peoples interests
and the public funds, OF the impairment of
Cur public credit in effort by executive
action to relieve the dangers of the present
emergency"
There could be no more conclusive evil
dence of a determination to place the re-
sponsibility for the future condition of the
treasury upon Congress- and this RESPONSE
biEty has been readily accepted by the
House, which inside of week after it had
officially received the special message, for
mulated. considered and passed two meas
ures OF temporary relief, one designed to
furnish additional revenue to the treasury
and the other to tighten the burden of the
interest charge caused by bonds issued to
replenish the gold reserve The speed shown
by the representatives is almost without
parallel There can be no complaint on the
score of delay by the lower branch. The
President may know by experience that the
Senate is sluggish in action and may deter
mine to anticipate it by issuing the bonds in
advance of its concurrence in or amendment
CT the House bills. But such a course is
hardly to be justified in view of the fact
| that he submitted the whole case to Con-
grcss-meaning both housewife a full IN
Outstanding of the limitations placed by
present conditions upon the Senate's activ-
ity. 1t will not do to urge that he is break
ing no law in issuing bonds pending action
by Congress. He has asked for law and
until the Senate has given conclusive evil
dence that no satisfactory law will be forth
coming. it would seem that he is prec!Gded
from throwing the responsibility upon Con-
gress of another issue of bonds. If he is
going to base his action upon guesswork as
to what Congress will do. he could well have
refrained from the appeal to Congress, for
he could have formed long ago as accurate
an idea of the probable action of the nation
al legislature as he can at the present time.

At last Nicaragua has decided to do
what every reasonable. thinking person
conversant with the situation knew she
would in the end. Consequently none
of the seething patriots of the United
States who have for the last few days
been setting up straw Monroe doctrines to
bravely knock down again will be required
to imperil their precious cuticles and
adamantine heads to prevent the English
warships loading the little republic upon
their decks and transporting it bodily to
the other side OF the Atlantic, where it
would be outside of the jurisdiction OF
the late Mr.. Monroe's much abused and
badly understood policy.
In the adjustment Of this difficulty
much credit is to be awarded to Minister
Bayard, who assisted most materially
in steering the delicate subject through
the treacherous shoals of diplomacy.

-OUT-OF=THE-WAY FACTS

Au Antikatzen Verein exists at Mum
ster. in Westphalia, whose members are
pledged to kill all the stray cats they
find. The tails are brought as evidence
to the society's rooms, and last year 1222
we're brought in. A proposal was made
recently to extend the society's opera
tions to dogs. but it was voted down.
Mexico produces anything that can be
raised in any other country. So varied
is the climate that in the state can be
raised any product of the tropics and of
the polar region. Cotton, wheat. rye,
silver, silk. cocoanuts, bananas. rice.
cocoa, vanilla. logwood, mahogany. hides
and wine are the principal products.
Explosions in the streets are now in a
fair way to be explained. Major Cardew
has discovered that there is remarkable
deposit of sodium in some of the insu-
lators in the boxes used for electrical sup
ply in London. Now. sodium is highly
inflammable by contact with water. and
therefore, probably sets fire to the escap-
ing gas.
One of the most eminent mechanical
engineers in England, Joseph Nasmyth.
favors the driving of machinery with cot
ton ropes in place of leather bands. AS a
result uf many years experience and close
observation. he states that for heavy main
drives it is both more economical and
effective to use a series OF ropes working
in separate grooves.
One of the latest theories-which is said
to be receiving general accertance--con-
cerning the moons face. assumes that
the material constituting that luminary

ment, and Secretary Carlisle followed the
precedent of his predecessor. Under his
construction Of the Sherman act the treas
ury redeemed the silver bullion certificates
in gold at the option of the holder. which
rendered the act Of no value to the silver
interest but positively damaging to the
treasury by immensely enlargipg the gold
obligations OF the government. This con-
spicuous and invaluable service rendered
by Mr.. Sherman points him out as the
one of all others most desirable to be put
at the head of the finance committee.
which has jurisdiction of all tariff and
financial legislation. ~ -
In the house of representatives the
speaker appoints the committees, but in
the senate they are elected by that body.
Each party designates the members it is
entitled to. The discussion OF Mr.. ,Sher-
mans name is on the assumption that
the Republicans will be able to organize
the senate. The Republicans will have a
plurality, but.the Populists will hold the
balance, of power, as the situation now
appears. Itwould seem to be impossible
for the Populists to unite with the Re
publlcans on the money question, espe-
cially if the views Of Mr.. Sherman are to
be indorsed. The silver men have con-
siderable majority in the senate. and as
the money question is paramount it is
hardly to he supposed that the finance
committee will be composed of majority
of goldites, or that a chairman will be Sc
lected from the minority. If the silveritcs
are to succeed it will be necessary to
seize and hold every strategic position.
Mr.. Reed, who is to be tine next speaker
of the house. has got his thinking cap on
and is in quandary as to how he shall
deal with the vexed question in eonstitut-
ing the committees. Occasionally he has
manifested warm side toward silver,
but each time he has been brought up
with a round turn by the goldites of the
east. Being also candidate for presi-
dent. renders his position one OF exceed
ing perplexity. There seems to be no
ground for compromise between the two
elements Of the Republican party, and he
and all other candidates will have to
strike out in one direction or the other.
and take the consequences. Planning,
however. will go on actively to avoid the
rugged issue. The Republican leaders
are men of experience and are skillful, and
they will spare no effort necessary to
attain what seems to be within their
grasp. The friends of silver must be
alert or they will be maneuvered out OF
the victory which is attainable if there is
unity of action.
The herald., 1895-05-04
BEGINNING TO TAKE PLANS

Republican leaders realize that respon-
their party by the people in the last
November election. They are already
planning the Organization of the commit
tees Of the senate and house. The name
OF Mr.. Sherman is under discussion for
chairman of the senate finance commit
tee. He is put forward by the mono
metallists, who hold him in the highest
favor. The views of the venerable SEN
ator Morrill, of Vermont are satisfactory
to the goldites, but his great age detracts
from his efficiency. They want the best
service that can be obtained.
Mr.. Sherman is an able, experienced
and adroit man. He may truthfuliy be
called the father of all legislation in the
interest of gold for the last twenty five
years or more.
The so-called Sherman act of 1890 was
framed by HIM and in it he completely
gress. The act explicitly provides that
the certificates issued against the bullion
purchased may be redeemed in gold or
silver coin and inferentially at the option
of the secretary of the treasury, but there
was a clause inserted to the effect that
the parity of the two metals should be
preserved. AS the act provided for the
coinage of silver dollars containing 4l21S
grains. ten per cent alloy, the silver men
supposed that the parity meant that
which was established by our coinage
laws, or in other words that 412lS grains
of silver should be equal to 25.s grains
of gold, that being the coinage ratio.
But Mr.. Sherman had another view,
which is that the parity should be pre-
served treating silver as commodity
and gold as money.
The gold monometallists, with the aid
OF Mr.. Sherman, forced this view upon
Secretary Foster Of the treasury depart
