THE COUNTRY'S CREDIT.
Mr.. Mckinley Speaks on the Issues of
the Campaign.

the Campaign.
At Canton, Ohio, last week, Mr.. Mckin-
ley made his first public speech since the
Chicago convention. He said:
My fellow citizens, recent events have
imposed upon the patriotic people of this
country a responsibility and duty great
er than that of any since the civil war
Then it was q struggle to preserve the
government oft United States. Now it
is a struggle to preserve the financial
honor of the government of the United
States. Then it was a contest to save the
union. Now it is contest to save spot
less credit. Then section was arrayed
against section. Now men of all sections
can unite and Will unite and rebuke he
reputation of our obligations and the
debasement of our currency. In this con-
test patriotism is above party and nation
al honor is deaIer than any party named.
The currency and credit OF the govern
ment are good now and must be kept
good forever.
Our trouble is not with the character OF
the money that we have, but with the
threat to debase it. We have the same
currency that we had in 1892, good the
world over and unquestioned by any peo-
Pile. Then, too, we had the unexampled
credit and prosperity. Our difficulty is to
get that money in circulation and in
vested in productive enterprises which
furnish employment to American labor
This is impossible with the distrust that
hangs over the country at the present
time, and every effort to make our dollars,
or any one OF them, worth less than 100
cents each only serves to increase that
distrust.
What we want is sound policy, finan-
cial and industrial, which will give cour-
age and confidence to all, for when that is
done the money now unemployed because
OF fear for the future and the lack of con-
tidence in investments will quickly appear
in the channels OF trade. The employ
ment in gainful pursuits of the idle mon
ey that we already have will put every
idle man in the country at work, and
when there is work there is wages, and
when there are work and wages there are
consumers who constitute the best mar
ket for the products of our soil.
Having destroyed business and con-
fidence by free trade policy, it is now
proposed to make things still worse by
entering upon an era of deprecated cur
rency. Not content with the Inaugural
ton Of the ruinous policy which has
brought down the wages of the laborer
and the price of farm products, its ad-
vocates now offer new policy which will
diminish the value of the money in which
the wages and the products are paid.
Against both these we stand opposed.
Our creed embraces an honest dollar, an
untarnished national credit, adequate
revenues for the uses of the government,
protection to labor and industry, preser-
walton of the home market and reciproc-
ity, which will extend our foreign mar
kets. Upon this platform we stand, and
submit its declaration to the sober and
considerate judgment of the American
people.

Last summer one of our grandchildren
was sick with severe bowel trouble.
Our doctors remedies had failed, then we
tried Chamberlains Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy, which gave very
speedy relief. We regard it as the best
medicine ever put on the market for
bowel complaints.-Mr E. G. Gregory,
Fredericktown, Mo. This certainly is the
best medicine ever put on the market for
dysentery, summer complaint, collie and
cholera infantum in children. 1t never
fails to give prompt relief when used in
reasonable time and the plain printed di-
rections are followed. Many mothers
have expressed their sincere gratitude for
the cures it has effected. For sale by

FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

The Potomac Power and Light Company,
which is understood to be the local repre-
sentative OF a Northern trolley syndicate,
and is known to be a special fayorite Of
the District triumvirate, will be able to
secure permit for an overhead trolley
railway in that part OF the District lying
beyond Florida avenue, If an apparently
Innocent clause in the District appropria-
tion bill is not stricken out. That clause,
as published in The Times today, reads thus:
The Commissioners of the District are
empowered to authorize the erection and
use of poles for telephone and other pur-
poses in the public streets, avenues and
roadways Of the District outside OF WASH
ington, and permits heretofore granted
are hereby ratified.
The African in this particular woodpile
is concealed in the words land for other
purposes" and hardly less ominous is the
concluding line land permits heretofore
granted are hereby ratified" Thus the
decision of Chief Justice Bingham that the
Commissioners had no right to grant the
permit for Eole line from Georgetown to
lexington is invalidated and the door
opened also for any and every permit the
Commissioners may choose TO issue or may
have already secretly issued. Special dan
ger turks, however, in the "for other pur
poses" for by virtue of that declaration
overhe ad trolley lines ma be authorized on
any street in the beautiful section above
Florida avenue. 1t would be possible to
gridiron Fourteen nth street from Florida
avenue to Park street aud Kenesaw ave
nue aud all other streets in Mount Pleasant
and Columbia Heights with overhead troll
leys. 1t would make possible the very
thing against which the people of the Dis
trict have been fighting and both District
Committees are thought to have set their
faces
For other purposes means that Greater
Washington would be in the grasp of
the trolley syndicate. A company obtain
ing a charter for horse street railway
would only need the Commissioners per-
init to erect poles for an overhead trolley
line, and incidentally oyerh cad electric light
wires could be strung ad Iibitum. No
wonder the residents of Columbia Heights
are up i'll arms against the threatened dis
iiSuIciheHl vi bielI s'ftets, anu tIe
prospective deterioration i'll the value Of
their real estate holdings. The insidous
methods of operation pursued by the trolley
men. with the sanction and assistance OF
the Commissioners are plainly apparent.
Their exposure is all that ought to be
necessary to insure the prompt elimination
of the amendment above referred To, and
prevent the substitution of anything equally
dangerous. In this instance forewarncd
should be forearmed, and the syndicate
heavily.

FROM The CLUB
Metropolitan Governors Take Ao-
tion Against Prince lturb:de.
Result of an Investigation Into Re
p cent Scandal-AnOtiIer Prominent
Clubnan Is Involved.

Prince Iturbide, who claims TO he the
hereditary heir TO the Mexican throne.
has been expelled, 1t is reported, from the
Metropolitan Club OF this city.
The reasons for this summary action
are ra the, hard 10 get at, as all inter ested
parties refuse to talk, but they are under

For some time past the wives OF some
Of the most prominent society men here
nave received anonymous letters, contain
ing mean insnuatioDs against them, and
also threatening to convey Information Of
The alleged indiscretions to the husbands
OF the ladies' respectively addressed.
While every effort was being made t"
keep secret the fact that such anonymous
communications had beeu received. the
wives of prominent men began to get letters
containing grave charges against their hus-
bands Tie letters were composed by cut
ting words from printed matter, SO that
there might be no danger of Identification
of the hand writing.
The receipt OF these letters naturally
became the talk OF the club. Prince Itur-
5ide first attracted attention by declaring
that they had been composed by Miss VIII
liams, a popular young society lady OF
Washington, who has many friends in the
club. II is said that Mr.. Henry May,
also a member of the organization, cor.
roborated this charge. The board of man
gers OF the club concluded that il was
their duty to inquire into the matter. as
Il lady well and popularity known had been
charged with so serious an offense-
They ascertained that Iturbide had been
engaged to be married to Miss Williams
and that she had broken off the ma tch also
that when she Informed Iturbide that she
would have nothing more to do with him,
he threatened ugly consequences.
He told her that he would make her re-
gret the action she was taking. The in-
vestigatiOu made by the officials OF the
club entirely exonerated Miss Williams.
1t demonstrated, beyond the shadow OF a
doubt, that she had no knowledge Of the
source of the anonymous letters.

bide, informing him that his resignation
would lie accepted, II forwarded Imme-
diately
The prince paid no attention to this
communication and at the last meeting Of
the board he was expelled.
The case of Mr. Henry May. who re-
terated the charge, Will be investigated
by the board and IL is likely that he. too.
viii be expelled. The name Of the author
Df the communications is still a mystery.

ELSIE kREGLO MONUMENT.

1t is gratifying to note the prompt and
sympathetic Endorsement by representative
women OF Washington OF the propoSit on
to suitably mark the resting place of
Elsie Kreglo, whose terrible and untimely
fate is painfully fresh in the public mind.
There need be no elaborate monument
for this purpose. -.hc idea being, as We
understand it. merely that the inscription
on the memorial marble or stone speak
of the dead as from the citizens OF WASH
ington.
1t is a pleasure To say that the sug
gestion of this tribute to the unfortunate
girl is from Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett
whose kindly heart and good and substan-
tial works on charity and reform lines
ire well known, and are justly apprc
ciated by the people of Washington.

THIS Is STRANGE.

In the face or the adverse report OF the
Nicaragua Canal Commission, of which
Lieut. Col Ludlow was the pres ident,
and that officers very DANA ging evidence
before the House Committee Oh Inter
state and Foreign Commerce, the com
mittee, by vote of to 4-six mem
hers being ahsent-has agreed to report
favorabiy upon the bill pledging the
credit of the United States on S65 COO
coo of the Nicaragua Canal COmpany's
bonds. The amount is notOriously in
sufficient to complete the work, the most
conservative estimate made 10y Col. Lud-
low being 81 100000, and even this
he declares TO Toe entirely problcmaticaI.
inasiIhch as, according 10 his judgment
an even approximately correct estimate
of the ultimate cost OF the enterprise cannot
be made In fact, Col Ludlow expressed Sc
rious doubts a S 10 the feasibility of building
Il canal that would lie sufficient to accommo-
date either great commercial or naval
vessels. Joined TO this doubt was an
other as TO the limit of the Obligations
the United States might be called upon Ia
assume, which. in his opinion. might reach
ten times the sum now calculated upon.
An interoceanic canal that sann floG-
the largest battlcship or cruiser or steam
ship engaged IN commerce would be an
anomaly. Yet that is what the company
which has asked the governments sub
vcntion, and appears to lie looked upon
favorably by at least one committee OF
to 10 Tts tif.n nt.,S
it is said, are based upon the passage of
vessels of three thousand tons und under.
Not even third-claSs cruiser could pass
through such ditch, and for all the good it
would be TO such vessels as the New York
or Brooklyn or the large steamers plying
between the Atlantic coast cities and
Asiatc and Australian ports, the canal
might as well bc not begun at all. Its COM
mcroal OF strategic value, if the plans of
the Nicaragua Canal Company are carried
out, may be expressed by big @.
1t is puZzlinS to the last degree to under
stand why, in the face of such discoura ging
GOT to say dana cing, facts, "a committee of
Congress should be willing TO commit the
United States to the support of such an un-
dertaking. 1t would be policy of doubt
fui utility, even if there We're no doubt at
all that the scheme would pay, but when
all that is in sight is an indefinite eXpend-
ture OF the peoples money. without any
compensating return for il, the action of
the committee is sinuomprehensible upon any
ordinary reasoning. OF course, if there
is Job in it, for somebody, the thing is
easy enough to see through; but surely no
committee OF Congress would lay Itself
open to such suspicion.
