TO INVESTIGATES THE RIOTS.
A Chinaman Who il Implicated Sal

A Chinaman Who il Implicated Said
to Have Been Chosen.
LONDON, August 23.-A dispatch from
Shanghai published in the Pail Mall Ga
zette this afternoon says that the utmost
dissatisfaction and Indignation prevails
among the members Of the foreign colony
at the appointment of the formerly de-
graded viceroy, Liu, who is regarded as be-
ing the originator of the Cheng Tu riots,
to investigate the recent outrages and the
cause thereof.
1t was said at the State Department that
If the report Is true that Ficeroy Liu has
been appointed to investigate the Cheng
Tu riots, then the foreigners have good
cause for complaint. If the report be true
it is probable both the British and Ameri-
can governments will protest.
Viceroy Liu was governor Of the province
in which Cheng Tu is situated, and he was
said to have been guilty of gross negli-
gence, which by some persons was regard
ed as amounting to completely in the Chi
nese riots of last June. There are great
many men in China named Liu, and it is
thought possible that there has been
confusion of names.

Secretary of State, and his position as
ambassador at the court OF st. James
has no doubt given him enlarged views
and increased knowledge of diplomacy.
Besides this he is thoroughly acquainted
with all the grave questions now pend-
ing between this country and England,
and his popularity In the latter country
might enable him to do more towards
effecting settlement than any one
else whom the President could appoint
He has had good deal to do with the
Venezuelan boundary dispute and is
personally acquainted with every detail
OF the Behring ses tangle.
He knows all about the Nicsraguan
situstion, and, besides all this, is in
perfect sympathy with the policy OF the
administration. It Is reported that he
is anxious to return to this country.
and IT this be true, the President would
be able to gravity his wishes in this re"
gard, and at tho same time turn over
the portfolio OF State to q man prepared
to fill the Office even better than during
his first term of service as secretary of
that department.

WHITNEY ON B1MErALLrsM.

Ex-Secretsry Whitney, on his arrival
from Europe, declined to talk about
himself in connect ton with off1ce, but
discoursed quite freely on the silver
question. He said there was strong
feeling in England in favor OF BIZ
metallism. The opposition to it was, he
thought, confined to the moneyed PEG.
pie, just as It was in this country.
There is very largo party in Eng
land in favor of bin etallism," he said
Every ollege professor over there and
every board OF trade has taken firm
stand in favor OF the double standard;
the labor organizations favor it. In the
great manufacturing centres, like Man.
chester and Birmingham, resolutions
have been passed advocating BIZ
metallism.'
When asked about Lord Harcourt's
recently expressed views on the subject
he said: well everybody knows that
Harcourt is an uncompromising gold
man, and would not admit the advau-
tages Of double standard even for ar
gument's sake" From this 1t would
appear that Mr.. Whitney, like Senator
Hill, is an international bimetallist
which, in the present condition OF the
public mind of the Eastern States, Ia
not bad position for candidate for
President from that section to take.

Senator Brice in letter to the Col
unbus Democrat on the silver situation
in Ohio, after reviewing the green
back craze OF some years ago pre-
diets that the free silver craze will end
and be discredited Just as the one about
greenbacks was. After arguing that
the silver question is o commercial and
not political one to be regulated by
law in opposition to the sentiment of
the commercial world, he concludes as
follows: II have many hundreds of
letters from prominent men in every
portion of Ohio and the calm Judgment
of very large number is that it would
be ruinous to the Democratic party to
60 to the extreme contemplated. I
care no more for gold than for silver.
1t makes little difference what hap
psned in the past; wise legislators must
be governed by present conditions, re-
CARELESS of their own preference.

SENATOR SHERMAN in his speech to
the Ohio Republican convention handled
the currency question very diplomat
ioally. He advocates sound money. but
not exactly gold monometallism. He
not only wants gold and silver to circus
late on parity but wants every dollar
Of paper money as we'll as every one in
gold and silver to be worth 100 cents
He says the policy OF the Republican
party has always been to secure this
and thus avoids committing himself to
gold monometallism or to the free coin
age of silver. When all this verbiage
ia removed the issue narrows down to
gold basis at last, which is where tho
Republican party put the currency of
the country, and where 1t will remain If
that party comes into power, all the
plausible talk and evasions of its
leaders to the contrary noswithstand-
ing.

that he Keep every clock used by the com

that he must also wind and set them so
that they will DC kept as nearly correct as

All of the timcpicccs in his charge are
eight day clocks, so that the winding does
not have to be done moro than once q

no misses day he has hard work to mako

THE dedication OF a Confederate
monument at Chicago yesterday Is one
Of the surprises OF the century. That
the people Of city noted for it's loyalty
to the Union during the war and for its
hatred to the South for many years
after the conflict, should, in spirit Of
generosity, not only consent to have a
monument erected there to the dead
soldiers of the Confederacy, but actually
bear most OF the expense in connection
with the same. is one of the best and
most gratifying evidences of the power
OF time in healing wounds and remoy-
ing sectional animosities. 1t shows, in
spite Of the talk OF politicians, who
have all to gain and nothing to lose
by stirring up strife and keeping alive
bitterness. that the people at least real.
izs that the war is over and this Ia
nation with comman heritage and a
common destiny. The spirit which
actuated the generous citizens OF Chi
cago should be emulated by the people
OF all sessions and 1t will not then be
long before the war will be remem-
bered by ell only as season OF trial in
which the best qualities OF the people
were developed and way opened for q
higher and gran1er destiny to a re-
united country.
