Gold Bonds Defeated.

The third reading of the resolution
reported from the ways and means COM
mittee authorizing the issue of per
cent. gold bonds was defeated in the
House Thursday by majority of AZ
votes. This probably ends. as the Balti-
more San says, the efforts of the friends
of sound finance to get Congress to au
thorize a method of dealing with the
gold reserve that will be better than
chat prescribed in existing laws. The
President has repeatedly invited Con-
gress to act and has shown just what it
should do. The Speaker, with the COM
mittee on rules, has facilitated the con-
sideration of bills reported by Messrs.
Wilson and Springer. First, a bank
ing bill providing for the repeal of the
tax on State bank notes was defeated,
and then successive measures for issu-
ing bonds and retiring the greenback
met the same fate.
Now a simple proposition to les
son the cost of gold needed for the
reserve by making principal and in
terest explicitly payable in gold is
thrown out. The leaders of the demo
cratic party have taken suitable action
but the rank and file will not follow
unitedly. The responsibility for fail
ure is upon the latter and not upon the
President, or Secretary Carlisle, or
Speaker Crisp, or Chairmen Wilson
and Springer. No small part of the re
sponsipiity rests upon the republican
minority, which processes to monopo-
lie financial sanity and patriotism but
has all along acted without regard to
the public interest. Having by bad
laws created the ills under which the
country suffers, they refuse to co oper-
ate for their amendment or repeal.
Their policy is of a narrow, partisan
sort and lacks the first glimmer of
craftsmanship.
Happily, Mr.. Cleveland has two years
still in the presidency and will be able
to get along with existing laws. There
I is abundant authority for everything
that needs to be done to safeguard the
treasury and Mr.. Cleveland will do
| what is necessary. Congress could have
helped, but it cannot prevent the car
rying out of a safe policy. Till March.
1897, it is well to remember, there can
be no tinkering with the lower tariff
duties, nor any other offensive repub-
lican legislation of an important char
acter.

THE SCHooL-BooK MATTER.-Under
date of February 18th, the Richmond
correspondent of the Petersburg Inder-
appeal, says =
The statement from the American
Book Company published to-day was
read here with much interest and the
general comment was that it was
strong paper and an effective reply to
the charge that the school children of
Virginia are being made to pay too
much for books. In a day or two the
article along the same line which Gov.
O'Ferrall and Attorney General Scott
have been preparing will appear, and
will, am told by those who have seen
it. make most interesting reading.
This latter statement is now in the
hands of printer. 1t will contain the
figures for all the States and will show
in detail what the books used in Vir
ginia sell for in other States"

The Richmond State of February
18th, says
u. H. Bradley, who for several years
past had been the States collector, has
embezzled funds of the State Newspa-
per Company amounting to $3.50, and
run away from the city. He left the
Office on Tuesday night, saying that
he was not well and would hardly be
able to go on duty the next day. This
morning the State. received letter

list of the various amounts he had EN-
bezZled, the exact total of which is
$239.52, less an account against the
State allowed in settlement of $3.50.
Since the new business management
of the State went into effect, there has
been general Cverhauling of affairs
in the business office, and as Bradley
saw that detection was inevitable, he
drew his salary and ran off.

make this exposure of a young man

PART

The largest tent Of the Tasajasa camp
meeting was crowded TO its utmost eN'
tent. The excitement of that dense
mass was at it's highest pitch. Rev.
Stephen Masterton, the single, erect,
passionate figure of that confused med
ley of kneeling worshipers, had reached
the eliminating pitch of his irresist'
ible exhortatory power. Sighs and
groans were beginning TO respond to
his appeals, when the reverend brother
was seen 10 lurch heavily forward and
fall to the ground.
At first the effect was that of apart
of his performance; the groans re-
doubled, and 90 or 30 brethren threw
themselves PROSTATE in humble imita-
tion of the preacher. But Sister De-
borah Stokes, perhaps through some
special revelation of feminine intui'
ton, grasped the fallen man, tore loose
his black silk neclitie and dragged him
free of the struggling, frantic crowd,
whose paroxysms he had just evoked.
II may have struck her that his own
condition was not essential TO that con-
dition in others. Howbeit, he was pale

we think she fails to see the position we
take, which is, that from time iD.memo-
rial theater-goers have tried to ''enlist
the women in the warfare and that
this is an impossibility. 1t was for this
reason we stated in our comment that

Fuller "never attends theater without
