AS YET HOPEFUL
Another Substitute for the Admin

Ready.
CLEvEL5ND'S ENDORSEMENTS
The Same Old Pruvisu for Gold Re
hsmption for Bonds that Are I
Needed.

WAsHINGTON, Jan. 3-RepresentatlVe
Sherry of Connecticut, d democratic col
league of Mr. Springer on the banking
and currency committee, has proposed
another substitute to the Carlisle cur
rencv bill, Tt strikes out all OF the en-
acting clause, and provides for the issue
of bonds sufficient to retire outstanding
preenbacks aud treasury notes under the
Sherman act The bonds are to bear
3 per cent interest and are to be re-
deemed in gold and are to be of denomi-
nations from $40 to 81 900. They are to
run for 30 years, with the right to re-
deem them after 10 years. The secretary
of the treasury is empowered to keep the
gold reserve up to the maximum OF 5loO,-
100000 by selling these bonds. Provision
is made for the steady retirement of the
greenbacks both from the proceeds OF
the bonds and from the surplus in the
the treasury. Mr.. oherrys substitute, it
is understood, has executive approval in
case the Carlisle bill cannot pass.

Capt. Henry Kim. in the January
Forum says: In New York City the sal
aries are higher than anywhere else
partly because of the >snperior standard
of proficiency. and partly because the
cost of livi is greater there than in any
other large city. One editor.in chief has
the same salary as the President of the
United States. $4,000 per year, and
others receive from $4,000 to $4,000, or
more than members of the cabinet
Managing editors are paid from 800 to
81 80 per week, or better compensation
than that of senators and representatives,
in congress. Editorial writer's get $50
to $50 per week as a rule and in cases of
rare abality as much as the average
salary Of utanaging editor. City edit
ors receive from $50 to SO a week, and
in few INSTANCES SluO. The pay of
news editors is about equal to that of
city editors Literary. theatrical, and
musical critics average $50 per week,
Copy readers are pald from $50 to 500
per week, Reporters earn all tho way
from SD to $50 per week. with An aver

the methods of Dr. rarkhurst simply
because they were not practicable and il

sioners yesterday made their return to
the certiorari proceedings of George J.
Gould and the other children Of the late
Jay Gould, to be relieved, on the ground
of non. resistance, of the taxes assessed
for 1894 on the personal estate of their
father The commissioners had refused
to make return. but were forced to do
Sc on pain Of contempt OF the supreme
court.
The return is to the effect that at the
time of the assessment the commission
ers believed that the property was liable
to taxation IN this county and that the
claim Of non, residence was merely sub

New YORK, Jan. o,--Four young men
met in the Empire State express last
night as it flew from Albany to New

No. u Hawk street, Albany; F. NJ. Guy
who lives at the Madison Square hotel;
Henry DECKER an advertising agent, and
Philip Benjamin, a cigar drummer, of

To while away the time they played

the conductor. f. G. Glover, Stevens lost
and grew surly. The train was nearing
New York. and the party had just fin
ished a round of drinks, ordered by
Stevens. when he clapped his hands to
his pockets and cried
1--WE been robbed,-I've lost $50. You
stole it, he added. turning to Benja
min, who had sat next to him.
There was a chorus of indignant re
monstrance. Benjamin turned pale with
anger and then melted with tears as he
denied the accusation.
Stevens with dogeed obstinacy, still
made the charge and as the train pulled
into the Grand Central depot insisted
that Benjamin should 90 TO the station

As they stepped out of the depot Il
1 fair.haired li,tlD boy ran to Ben Iamin
crying, "papar "Papa," and brought
news that his mother was ill., aud that
he had come to meet him and take him
home. Sohbing, crying. and clingine to

seemed to he convinced Of his integrity
Mr.. Decker, Mr.. Gny and the conductor
declared that it would have been impos-
sible for Ben amin to take the the money
without detection. Only 81 were round
on him, but Stevens insisted On pressing
the complaint

insist on charging an innocent man and

will go hard with you. We have your

One of the questions that is now en-
gaging the attention of the polltico-
economists is the wages of men and
women workers, and upon the topic the
following from the St. Louis Repu bic
will be read with interest:
"The biennial report OF Labor Com
missioner B1ackmore contains vast
amount of interesting information. not
the least ol which is the comparison be
tween the wages paid to men and the
compensation of women in Missouri.
Mr.. Blackmore finds that the great
est number of persons employed in all
establishments is Gs,155, and that the
average number of males employed is
1880, leaving about 2V,oG0 women en-
gagged in manufacturing and various
kinds of industrial work
1T is Mr.. Blackmoro's official delluc-
ton that o., per cent Of the men earn
less than s. a week. while 60 per cent of
the women earn less than Sc a week
Whether that is because a woman is
unable to do mans share in the abors
Of the day is question difficult TO
answer Experience has taught a ma
joritv of employers that women work
equally well with men in certain kinds
Of labor and are paid about one half as
much as men. The difference in womens
