Cleveland's plan is only Of speculative in
terest, but if Congress had the courage or
the capacity to carry 1t out there would
be chance of putting the finances on a
sound basis. The outlook is not pleasant
for Americans or those having dealings
with them. The Americans are perhaps
too ready to rely on their power, so con-
spicuously shown during the civil war, Of
bearing heavy taxation, but they cannot
escape their present difficulties by merely
increasing the revenue. Even the silver

on United States finances, says: THAT
European holders should sell the worthless
gambling counters they possess in the

surprising; but the sale of bonds appears
to US to be ill-advised. Although the
United States Is in a tight corner we do

Ball Club returned to Baltimore from Wash
ington last night, having drafted Infielder
George Carey of the Milwaukee Club in
the Western League. Mr.. Hanlon Is well
satisfied with having secured Carey before
any other of the league clubs caught sight CT
him. The drafting of Carey means that
the Baltimore club will not be without a
competent first baseman even if Brouthers
should stick to the determination which
he announced last fall not to play ball
again. Mr.. Hanlon offered to buy Beckley
and also suggested several trades, but
Manager Connie Mack refused to consider
them. While in Washington Mr.. Hanlon
had long talk with President Young.
Mr.. Young said that there never had been
more favorable outlook for base bah
than this season. At least ten new leagues
he said, had applied for protection under

President Faure's message to the French
senate and chamber of deputies yesterday
was as follows:
Gentlemen: BY raising me to the first
magistracy. of the republic, the national
assembly chose for these high functions
one of the country's most modest servants.
I should but imperfectly express my pro-
found gratitude If did not return to the
working democracy to which I belong all
the honor Of this choice. 1t was to the
democracy that the manifestation of the
18th was addressed. 1t Is to the obscure
work necessarily accomplished by the de-
mocracy for the greatness of France that
the representatives Of the nation offered
this solemn act of homage.
II grasp the full extent of the duties i'm
posed upon me by the national assembly
in intrusting me with the task of guarding
the constitution. You will not find me
wanting. You can count upon my entire
devotion, and, above all, on my vigilance
in guaranteeing the application OF con-
Stitutional law.
by the absolute calm and complete con-
fidence which attended the transference OF
the presidential power, France has again
shown how much she feels herself mistress
of her own destinies under the protection
of republican laws.

which displays the fruitful activity of the

heart the prestige of the French name. 10

The wild and trenzied efforts of

extra session OF congress would be a
bad thing for the democratic party is
one Of the most striking examples of
disinterested friendship since the days
of Damon and Pythias.-Detroit Free

Stephen b. Elkins points with
pride 10 the fact that he Is the first re-
publican senator to be chosen from
West Virginia for twenty-five years,
and the third republican ever elected
from there. And yet it isn't anything
for republicans to brag about.-Boston
Herald.
The selection of Elkins to be
United States senator from West Vir-
ginia is hardly announced before it is
followed by the nomination of Sewell,
the notorious railroad lobbyist, to he
United States senator from New Jer-
sey. such are among the first fruits of
the great republican renaissance
Louisville Courier-Journal.
The only evidence of fitness Elk
ms and Sewell have ever given for the
United States senate is their pernicious
activity as professional lobbyists hired
to promote the dishonest schemes Of
the corporations and millionaires who
have nailed the red flag of the pluto
cratic auction over the door of the sem
ate chamber.-N. Y. World.
The only open and safe policy for

miniStration. The issue OF certificates Of
Indebtedness for deficiency Of revenue
Is the only subst2ntial thing in Mr..
Shermnn's plan. II is, as we have said,
very good SO far as it goes, but
no measure will secure the treasury
against the drain Of its gold reserve, or
establish the complete stability Of the
currency, or fairly restore confidence
at home and abroad that does not pro-
vide for the cancellation OF the legal
tender notes. That is the very core Of
all our trouble, and Mr.. Sherman does
not propose 10 touch it-N. \. Times.
