INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLIsM

lNTERNABlONAL Al blME ALLlo-h'
Mr.. william c. whitney, formerly secre-
tary of the Navy, is reputed TO be worth
several millions and credited with the
purpose OF multiplying them until they
reach a score. He isa fhrewd yet honorable,
business man. a pTacticed ard calm OBJ
server OF events. and a skilllul financier,
aud his opinion, therefore, on any subject
related to monetary matters is entitled
TO considerable weight.
Mr.. whitney has sjustreturned from Europe
after a stay OF several mouths and has
carefully observed the drift Of opinion on
financial questions. Bimetallism, be says,
is the absorbing topic, and so strongly mas
the current set toward it in Great Britain
and on the continent that he regards 1T
as sure TO be established in a very few
wears. OF course, he looks upon b-metal-
Iism as the commCn-sense monetary sys-
TEN. but equally, OF course, holds inde-
pendent bimetalIism to be chimera-
Gold and silver ought 10 have, and will
have ultimately. an equal standing in the
worlds coin transactions, but this can be
attained only by international agreement
Those who think and proclaim that the
United States can for itself set up
bimetallic standard are, Intentionally or
uuintentionally, deoeiving themselves, as
well as those who follow their lead. We're
the government to commit itself 10 such
, a policy il would go in pursuit of will-'o-
: the-wisp, which would inevitably lead
il into the slough of financial disaster.
International bimetallisIn, as Mr.. Whit
ney says. is not only a possibility, but a
certainty. and the United States may as
wei! prepare to fan in line.

FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

It is gratifying to The Times to know
that the announcement Of its purpose to
print a special souvenir edition devoted
exclusively to the public schools Of the
District Of Columbia has been received
with so much enthusiasm.
1t is stiH more gratifying TO be able
to record the practical and helpful interest
in the enterprise displayed by Commits
sioner Ross, members Of the Board of
School Trustees, Supt. Powell, supt. Cook,
the principals Of the several High Schools
the supervising principals the heads Of
the various technical departments, and
the teachers generally, all of whom have
cheerfuny extended every aid and IA
ciIity at their disposal to make the edi-
ton as complete and accurate as aspossible.
To these ladies and gentlemen The Times
gives its sincere thanks, as well for their
proffered assistance as for the numerous
letters OF encouragement and approval
theyhave written, and which are being pub
lished from day TO day.
To quote the words of Mr. J. J. Darling
ton, one OF the very best friends of the
schools. ''the more generally and thor
oughly they are understood, the more
highly they VIII be appreciated and the
more useful they viii become"
To make them so understood is the sole
object of The Times, which is determined
to do all in its power not only TO guard
the public school system from repetition
Of the neglect and unwise legislation OF the
past, but to in every manner possible
exemplify its devotion to all deserving in
stftutions OF the National Capital.
This is the policy of The Washington
Times, as it purposes proving every day
of its existence. 1t VIII not lack honest
help from its constituents.

DR.. j. F. shadd, who has for long time
given earnest study TO the development of
our public schools, writes to The Times
as follows:
Dear Sir: The idea of having a special
souvenir edition of The Washington Times,
devoted exclusively TO the public schools
of the District of Columbia, has my hearty
support.
''our public school system ranks among
the best. 1t is increasing its usefulness
and scope every year, and when we shall
organize kindergarten system and en-
large the manual training feature so that
the youth can learn those things which will
fit them for the active duties of life, I
believe il will be the best in the country.
1T will afford me great pleasure as a
member of the board Of school trustees
TO cooperate with you SO that ample data
may be collected for the compilation OF
this mammoth edition.
VERY respectfully,
