A NICE question of morals will be
raised in many minds by the testi.
mony of Adra Hayward against his
brother accused of the murder of Miss
Cling, at Minneapolis. Should he or
should he not have testified against his
brother? The question his weeping
mother put to him as he left the stand:
ooh Adra, how could you do it?' to
many minds may not be sufficiently
answered by his response, 81 simply did
my duty" Duty to whom? it may he
asked. Duty to the state, to society,
for whose benefit criminals are supposed
to be punished The question then
narrows down to this: Should a man
shield his brother, accused of an infamous
crime. or should ha 60 forth unbdden
except by the state, and tell the story
that will hasten the accused to the gal
lows. Ifit be said that this is precisely
what the Judge did who, compelled by Il
sense of duty, sentenced his own son to
death, it may be answered that the Judge
had his duty thrust upon him by oath
and his office in way that it would
perhaps be difficult to avoid. In the
case of Adra Hayward, however, while
he theoretically did the brave and hon
est thing, we think the human heart will
generally revolt, and that without the
least sympathy for the accused, at the
spectacle he presented, of cOiunteertng
to tell story that will send his own
brother to the gallows.

REED stock has taken mighty tumble
since his position on the bond issue
question. The entire western contingent
are up in arms against his presidential

fer the fate of Blaine and other brainy
men. To take Il positive position on Il
public question means the alienation OF
many. The trimmer" seems to be the

A Woman For the Laureateship.

{ QUEEN VICTORIA has yet a chance to
send her name down to posterlty as the
patroness of the new woman. The poet
laureateship of England is vacant, and
Justly so, as there seems to be no man to
fill il, man that will maintain the long
list of literary excellences. The women
now demand a chance and some OF the
best women writers, among them DIR.
Julia Holmes Smith, are demanding that
woman he called to the laureateship,
especially as there is considerable choice
among the women poets Of England.
This list includes Miss Ingelow, Mrs.
Woods, Mrs. Meynell, Mrs. Hickson
Miss lyman, Nine Darmesteter Miss
Mary ROBINSON, and the two ladies who
collaborate under the name of
Michael Field, Miss Dolly Broad
ford and Miss May Kendall. To be
sure, Christina Rossetti is gone, and
these others are little known on this
side of the sea, but we are prepared to
accept the queens favor as sufficient in

GOLD DRAINAGE
Again Disturbs the Treasury
officials Peace of Mind.
Exports to Europe Increasing Under
High Rate Of Exchange.
Another Bond Issue for Relief Rather Than
an Extra Session.

Washington, Aug l2.-The drain unor
the gold reserve Of tho treasury seemed
tn nave begun in earnest, TODAY. wben
the officials We're advised of the with
drawal of 81, $50, 900 from the sub treas-
ury at New York for export.
This condition of affairs occasioned
much speculation of the means that the
administration will employ TO maintain
the gold reserve or replcnlsh 1t. sbonId
the probable Withdrawals reduce IL below
500, 600, 900. 1t may be stated almost
authoritatively that as between another
issue Of bonds and the calling of an extro
session of Congress, the former will be re-
sorted to.
Today's Withdrawals were the largest on
any day since the contract with the Bel
mont Morgan syndicate went into effect,
last February. They reduce the gold in the
treasury to Sl0l 300, 1868, or loss of more
than $1,000 900 from the highest point
reached after tho syndicate made its final
payments, last month
Department officials are 10th to djscuss
the elect on the treasury of renewed gold
shipments or express an opinion as to
their probable extent, or when the ship
ments Will cease or whether the bond
syndicate will feel itself bound to repace
the gold ~
with exchange at 81 90S an exceed
ingly high figure, the opinion is generally
expressed that gold exports to tho extent
OF $50, 600, 600 or $50. 600, 900 are likely to
occnr before Oct. l. The only thing that
Is likely to reduce the rate of exchange Is
heavy shipments of American cereals
Aside from the decline in the gold re-
serve, the treasury situation Is regarded
as encouraging, as the receipts arc grad
unily experimenting TO the expenditure
The excess of expenditures over the re-
ceipts for the past two years amounted TO
slO7, 600, 900, and for the month and a
third which has elapsed of the current
fiscal year, $l5, COO, 0OO But the receipts
are Increasing and the officials express
the hope that by Jan. they will equal
the expenditures or nearly so.

PARLIAMENT OPENED,
Speaker Gully of the Minority
Unanimously Re- elected.
Speaker Crisp Of American House on His
Observance OF English Commons.

London. Aug. 12.-The 18th Parlia-
ment of Queen Victoria opened, today,
with the customary ceremonies After
the usual ceremonies, MIR. Mowbray
moved the re-electin of Speaker Gully.
Mr.. Mowbray in moving the reelection
of Speaker Gully, said be rcioiccd that
Mr.. Gully would be reelected without q
dissenting voice. Mr.. Mowbrsy cxtollcd
Mr. Gully's impartiality, vigilance and
prompttude and bis courtesy to every
member of the House. He asked the
House to elect Mr.. Gully, who was able
and conscientious, irrespective of party
considerations.
Mr. Thomas Edward Ellis, first Liberal
whip, seconded the motion. and Mr.
Gully was then formally reelected with
out opposition. after which he made the
customary speech of thanks.
Hon. Charles Crisp, Speaker of the
American House of Representatives
Hon. Edwin +. Uhl, American assistant
secretary of state, and Hon. Henry Cabot
Lodge, senator from Massachusetts, were
guests, this evening, at an entertainment
by Speaker Gully at his residence in West
minister place. They received marked at
tcntlon from Mr.. Balfour, Mr.. Chamber
ioih anu OVL'i Iutu WIN WIZ
present.
Mr.. Crisp informed the representative
of the United Press that he had been
struck by the numerous ceremonies in
the procedure of the House of Commons
which, to him, appeared useless. He said
that be noticed especially that no actual
vote was taken in the election of the
Speaker.
He understood, of course that the cleo
ton was virtually by unanimous con
sent, but in the United States the ques-
ton Is always stated TO the House in
order that the opportunity may be made
for disscntcrs to express their views.
1t seemed remarkable that So great a
majority as the government had should
choose member Of the minority for pre-
siding officer. Such course would never
do under the American constitutions
where the Speaker must be partisan as
he is clothed with greater power in the
appointment of committees. etc
Continuing Mr. Crisp said that having
the Speakers residence in Parliament
House was useful here, but repugnant TO
the American system. There were not
one-thlrd enough seats in the House Of
Commons for its members The seats
and desks in the American House were a
better arrangement
MIR. Crisp added that there was good
press gallery here, but he did not favor
the ladies being placed In a cage behind
the Speakers desk.
