cate that policy, Senator Jones replied:
By no means. HIS rec5gd is just what
believe makes it exceedingly doubtful
what he is. AS I said before, he has
been on both sides of the question.
Some years ago he voted with the sill
yer men. and we thought that there
could not be any man more fat-lfooted
in his policy On the currency. We did
not believe it possible that he could
ever be anything else than a silver ad
vocate, but presto! and he was over in
the camp of those who we're straight
out gold men. He was just as violent
a goldbug as any of the dyed-in-the-
wool gold advocates. They thought
then that they had him hard and fast
for all time; that he would never fall
from grace, having once been convert
ed; but then came the Ohio platform,
straddling the question. which many.
people regard as his stand. How can
any one be sure of him now? What
can any one think with such a record
staring him in the face? No, I don't
think Mckinley is a silver man at

THE TRANsvAAL R,EFoRMERs.

A Pretoria dispatch 20 the London
has decided that the punishment of the
reformers, Colonel Francis Rhodes, Lii
onel Phillips, George Farrar and John
Hays Hammond, shall be fifteen years
imprisonment. In an editorial the
Times says: IF it means imprison-
ment, it is almost equivalent to a
death sentence, and will produce a
painful impression of surprise, as being
severe beyond all expectations, and the
ending will be to perpetuate political
strife 1t also explains that there is
bare possibility that in it's Pretoria
dispatch fifteen years means the per-
iod of Punishment instead of impris-
onment In any event it is serious for
those who may suffer the sentence.
1t cannot be denied that those who
engaged in the movement to reform"
the Boer government by means of an
armed invasion engaged in a most SER
ious business. When men undertake
to overturn a government, no matter
what it's form, they should understand
that the result of a failure means
hanging, and nothing else. No doubt
the Boer government is in many re-
spedts oppressive and jealous of the
many thousands of foreigners who have
gone to the Transvaal in the past few
years in THE search for gold, but it
was the Beers government and not
the foreigners. The Jameson raid
would never have been thought of if
the idea had not possessed those who
engaged in it and the work of the re-
form committee, that they would have
an easy task and would in the end die
tate terms to old man Kruger They
certainly counted without their host.
Had Kruger and his executive coun-
Gil given Jameson the same treatment
they have given the others, there
would have been less complaint and
less cause for saying they were unduly
and Enthusiastically severe in the case of
the men who pleaded guilty and were
given heavy sentences, Notwithstanding
that fact The same policy that die
tated the surrender of Jameson to the
English authorities should have made
the Boer government lenient to others
engaged with him. But after all is
said, it cannot be denied that these
men brought their fate upon them
selves.

rK1NLEr,s FINANCIAL VIEWS.

AEcKinley's position on the financial
question is almost inexplicable There
can be no doubt that in remaining ST.
lent when so many of his party are de-
handing that he make known his views
he is running great risks. He is known
to have talked ON all sides of the fipan-
cal question. and because he has those
who otherwise favor his candidacy are
becoming suspicious of him. He is
trying the very difficult feat of carry
ing water on both shoulders, If he sue
ceeds it will be remarkable and he will
be entitled to much applause for his
successful performance.
What are his views on the money
question today? The Chicago Record
sent a staff correspondent down to
Canton last week to interview him.
When asked his attitude towards free
silver coinage. Major Mckinley pre-
scented the correspondent a printed re-
port of a speech made by him in Ada,
O., few years ago, when he was rum
ming for governor. and marked this
passage:
The Republican party stands opposed
to free and unlimited coinage of silver
under existing conditions, and insists
that that cannot safely be done until
the great commercial nations of the
world shall have, by concurrent action
fixed the ratio between gold and silver
The Republican party stands, there
fore, for a dollar worth 100 cents,
whether it shall be gold or silver or
paper money. Free and unlimited COIN
age of silver would give the profits to
the silver producers of the world in
stead of 30 the government of the
United States.
That is a declaration for the gold
standard; in fact it would be difficult
to make it much palmer. In regard to
this and other marked passages, the
Records correspondent says: These
I am authorized to say are Major Nc
Kinley's views today. He desires that
the people of the United States accept
them as such, and he considers it more
dignified and honorable to stand upon
a platform that was constructed before
he became a candidate for the presi-
dercy than to construct a new one
which might be misrepresented or mis-
taken as bid for votes.''
If that is correct. and this correspond
ent was authorized to present Major
McKinley's views, then the question is
put at rest.
Mr.. Kohlsaat, the editor of the Chi
cago Times-Heraid, was in New York
Saturday last and he stated that Nc
Kinley is as certain for the gold
standard as any man in Wall street.
This certainly proves that he is not d
free silver man at all events
Senator John P. Jones opinion of
Mckinley win be generally accepted as
correct. especially by the silver men.
Asked If he thought Mckinley was a
silver man at heart and if his record
is sufficient evidence that he will advo-

for gas, the natural gas company says:
THE cost of producing gas at the

Rearing Children in boston.

Apropos of the proverbial quality reign

a friend of mine Of philanthropic turn
of mind noticed for several mornings that
the children of the garbage man accom-
panied their father on his rounds, and
greedily ate certain choice morsels which
they extracted from the garbage. This
so weighed upon the good mans heart
that after careful thought he approached
the father, talked kindly with him about
his children, offered assistance, and said:
Now, why don't you take your family
west. buy little farm and give them a
comfortable home and living?''
