BY the Demand on the New York Sub
treasury for Gold for Export.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-Treasury Of
ficials were surprised yesterday after
noon when informed that demand
had been made on the subtreasury at
New York for a considerable sum for
export. The amount exceeds S2,OOo,-
900, and opens gap which the Nor
gan-Belmont bond syndicate may feel
called upon to fill. One million was
called for by the Bank of Montreal,
and upwards of 81, 125, 900 by coffee inn
porting houses. This withdrawal does
not appear in the statement issued
yesterday. as the treasury had not
been officially advised of the transac-
ton.
According to the official figures is
sued at o'clock yesterday aftern DON,
the reserve stood at S1O7, 11s, PSI, a loss
since Thursday of S11s.251.
Acting Secretary Curtis says the
withdrawal indicates nothing more
lean importers to pay their debts as
they fall due. the export of gold at
this season being occasioned by the
liquidation of foreign accounts The
shipping of gold to the Montreal bank
is not, the secretary says, an unusual
occurrence. That bank has large
credits in New York and this call for
gold is, he thinks, on account of de-
mand for settlement Assistant Sec
rotary Curtis scouts at the idea OF any
attempt to make a run on the treasury

A MISSOURI EDITOR

Ends a Newspaper Controversy by a Per.
sOnal Assault. Assisted by His Wife.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Aug. 3.-V. T. Will
liams. editor of the Stanberry Herald,
and F. A. Weimer. editor of the Stan
berry Sentinel, have been indulging in
a newspaper quarrel. Williams stated
in his paper Tuesday that he had ac-
cumulated all his property himself,
and, while his taxes were not as
much as those of the editor of
the Sentinel, none of his wealth had
come in the way of hyrnenial con-
tract made at the altar. Mrs. Weimer
considered that the paragraph re-
fected on her. She is the daughter of
j. w. Hampton, a Denver millionaire,
who lived for many years at Mount
Pleasant, Ia The day of her mar
riage her father presented the editor
with a check for $40. 900, and it was to
this present that reference was made
by Williams. In the afternoon Mrs.
Weimer, accompanied by her husband,
went to the Herald office and horse
whipped Williams, while Weimer
struck his rival over the head with q

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

Gov. Mckinley. as last resort,
may yet call out the Ohio troops to
prevent the daily increases OF wages IN
that state. - Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal.
There is more than a reasonable
ground for suspicion that the McKin-
lev boom was overworked by inter-
esred parties with sinister objects

Under high protective tariff we
manufacture for the United States;
under low tariff we manufacture for
the world. Which is the better?-
Florida Times-Union.
The price of wool is increasing,
but not by the aid of bounties. protec-
ton and artificial nourishment. The
increase is based on the industrial de-
mand from new wooden mills in all
parts of the country. That is the
democratic tariff policy, which creates
a better demand and a higher price for
raw materials by taking off the duty.
Chronicle.
The report of general content
ment and prosperity comes from the
west as well as the east, and yet the
New York Tribune persists in having
the tariff laws gone over again by Nc
Kinley tinkers- 1t is apparent from
this fool policy that Whitelaw Reid
does not intend to take chances with
another landslide by running for the
vice presidency. Secretary Lemont
has been west to see for himself. Mr..
Reid sits down and from his prejudices
evolves statements to please those

THE DUTIES ON WOOL.
Earbarous Mckinley Taxation VIII Not

Earbarous Mckinley Taxation Will Not
Be Resumed.
The suggestion of Senator Dubois
that 1.-The restoration of wool to the
dutiable list is the thing in which the
west is most Interested" and that
this should be done likewise as a
revenue measure is not received with
enthusiasm by the New York Tribune.
That journal reminds the western sem
ator that wool duties cannot be re-
stored without a restoration of the
Mckinley taxes on WOODEN manu-
prove difficult task.
Not only difficult but impossible for
two years to come, with the senate
constituted as it will be and with
President Cleveland in the white
house. The attempt to increase rev.
enue by raising the taxes on the cloth
ing of the people will not be success
full at present, if ever again.
There are economic as well as pO-
litical reasons for this The short ex-
perience we have had with free wool
has proved it to be for the advantage
alike of the growers Of wool, the man.
ufacturers and the people. We are
getting more clothing, better clothing
and cheaper clothing-with excellence
and durability as the test. The price
of domestic wool IS advancing at the
same time with the wages of wooden
mill operatives.
This very practical object lesson
will not be lost on the people. The
political shepherds of Ohio will not be
able to pull the wool over their eyes"
again, especially as they remember
that the price of wool declined forty
per cent. during the four years of the
Mckinley law.
The Mckinley taxes of forty-four
per cent. on woods and ninety-eight
per cent. upon wooden goods were
among the most barbarous taxes ever
imposed. They will not be reenacted

Republican Presidential Aspirants A

Republican Presidential Aspirants Are
Keeping Under Cover.
There is neither courage nor convic-
ton nor honesty in the leadership of
the national republican party.
Before another year will have passed
presidential nominations will be made.
Where is the leader among republic
ans, the aspirant for that nomination,
who defines closely his position upon
any question of national concern? Dur
ing the administration of Mr.. Harrison
the republican party. seeking to retain
in the republican column the silver
producing states, enacted the Sher-
man law, to which Mr.. Harrison read
lily gave his signature. The necessity
arose of repeating that enactment, but
it was not done during Harrison's adj
coinage is before the electorate of the
republic. but not a single republican
leader with presidential aspirations
will define himself upon the subject.
Mr.. Harrison, Mr.. Allison. Mr.. Reed.
Mr.. Mckinley, all are silent as the
grave. Taking their cue from the hes
fancy of their leaders organizations of
the republican party, such as the
League of Republican Clubs, that re-
Gently met in Cleveland, make no dec
laration upon the currency question.
Those republicans, of whom there are
many, who advocate the free coinage
of silver are noisy in their declaration
of their policy, but Mr.. Harrison, Mr..
Allison, Mr.. Reed, Mr.. Mckinley, not
one of them rallies the sound money
republicans, not one of them declares
himself upon the question. ALI are
trimmers, none seems to possess cour-
age.
Nor is any of them now willing to
defend the tariff legislation Of 1890, not
one of them dares to assert that with the
restoration of the republican party to
power there will be reenactmentof the
Mckinley law. On this question Nc
Kinley himself is dumb.
The republican party is without
clear-cut and defined purpose other
than repossession of the spoils. If it
has principle it is unwilling to make
a declaration of it. Its recognized
leaders are afraid to declare themselves.
The republican party is merely de-
relict upon the ocean of politics. save
that its crew is still on deck, but it is
without rudder or compass or sailing
directions or masterful guidance. If
it reach the haven, Washington, that
unexpected result will be due to luck,
not to good guidance.-Chicago Chron-

WILL SHE REACH SUCCESS 2
Barrier Of Sex Diaparaging to tho Woman
Physician.

Barrier Of Sex DfaParagfng to tho Woman
Physician.
The woman doctor is already an ac-
complished fact, but as yet she has APP
parently made no considerable way in
public favor. It may be commended
that there is something in the art of
healing in accord with the primary in
stincts of woman's nature. But if we
look closer into the subject it will be
seen that there is more than mere
prejudice and long-established custom
to account for the exclusion of the
female sex in the past from the prac-
tice of this calling. Have women the
calmness of nerve-the aplomb, so to
say-the steadiness of hand and
pulse for the work OF the surgeon?
It is possible to suppose that non
abnormal woman with her more high
ly-strung constitutional sensibility,
could amputate limb with the same
imperturbabilityt that we would look
for in the male operator?
To this it may be replied that, grant
ing q certain drawback to women by
reason of sex in the matter of surgical
experiences, the case is different with
the ''metier" of the physician, and
that here. at least. the sexes can COM
pete on terms of.perfect equality. Yet,
again, as a matter of plain fact, are
the services of lady doctors much in
request with their own sex-nay, even
in those branches of the thera-
peatic art dealings with specially
feminine ailments? Moreover, If
the advanced woman's theory of
exact professional equality and i'm
difference as to sex is to be
maintained. why should any barrier
suggest itself to the consultation of
medical women by men, any more than
now exists to the calling in by women
of the male practitioner? But is there
no such barrier?
We have read of man here and
there resorting to lady experts in mas
sage, but that men should go to women
doctors and lay bare their bodily
symptoms in the same way women
have done from time immemorial to
their male medical advisers would be
a procedure repugnant on both sides
and mot convenient" for obvious
reasons Here. then. while admitting
that a sprinkle of females may, per-
haps, usefully find their mission IN OBJ
tanning employment as doctors among
a limited number of their own sex. we
are brought face to face with the ex-
ternal and immutable disparity OF sex

WHERE M.klnLEY STANDS.
a Matter of Dense Uncertainty Among

Matter of Dense Uncertainty Among
Republicans.
Mckinley has good deal Of positive
strength and also good deal of posi-
tive weakness The friends of pro-
hibitive tariff justly look to him as
their champion They know that he
and his bill cannot be divorced. that
his candidature would mean Mckinley
ism, and that his election would insure
them the support OF the executive of
ice for another extremely protective
law. But the number who desire
this Is much smaller than it was in
1888 and 1890. The Mckinley bill was
disappointment in several ways It
disappointed the politicians by turning
vast numbers of them out of Office. It
disappointed the workingmen because
it was followed by general reductions
in wages and no increase. It disap-
pointed many of the manufacturers
themselves by failure to give them the
advantages expected and also by slim
ulating production to a point that was
followed by break in prices Finally,
it failed to yield revenue enough to
support the extravagant scale of
expenditure inaugurated by the Fifty

seventy million dollars in the last fis-
cal year of its operation. For these
and other reasons many republicans
wish to eliminate the tariff. Besides,
however willing others may be to make
the tariff the dominant issue, the free
silver men are to be reckoned with
They insist that there shall be a free
silver platform and free silver can
didate, or they will not remain in the
party, but have a candidate of their
own. This Indifference is in its nature
irreconcilable in any other way than
the conversion of ones party to the
views of the other. Mr.. O'Connell's
suggestion that a man be nominated
pledged not to veto silver bill will not
satisfy either faction.
No one knows where Gov. Mckinley
stands on the currency. If they knew
his present position, they would not
know where he would be next year. He
has been on all sides of the question.
He would not be satisfactory either to
silverites or sound money men with
out much more explicit statements
than it has been possible to get from
him SO far. The chairman of the re-
publican national committee, Mr.. Car
ter, who is a free silver man, is opposed
to Mckinley. The latter is said to de-
sire an early convention, to be held in
May, so as to allow five months debate

An Experiment That Would Bring Disaster

As the Times has heretofore indi-
Gated, the reopening of the tariff agita-

pertinent at this time, or even next
year. The country has gone through a
severe strain. the result of the McKin-
ley law folly, and during the months
which have elapsed since the repeal of
that measure returning prosperity has
encountered good many difficulties.
But the work has been finally accom-
plishea.
To reopen the question now or in the
near future would instantly spread
alarm throughout the country, drive
capital back into concealment, de-
throne confidence in the safety of in
vestments and minimize industrial
operations To invoke such condi-
ton upon the people of this country
would be a crime equal to high treason.
It would plunge thousands of indus
trious people into idleness. despair and
ruin.

standpoint of practical politics. the
