FcKINLEY'S REFUSAL TO TALK.

The New YORK World attempted the other
day to induce Major Mckinley 10 make
specific statement a ; 20 his attitude
toward the money question. The nearest
thing toauanswer the World cou Id get were
the conpliu ents of the major and the
surance that he had nothing to say.
We'll. that's answer enough. 1t says as
MAINLY as words ca II that the Ohio man is u
trimmer. that he has Vet some delegates
to capture in the silver section and that
his game Just now is politics, not states
manship. This is the man that has sue
Ceaded in arousug such strong sentiment
in his party for his nomination that the
movement is characterized as a craze y
And il is an apt Characterization, surely
a party must be crazy TO evince such
mad desire forthe nomination of such a man
for the Presidency Bingham ton Leader
No doubt Mr. Mckinley thought he had
made a smart dodge. And maybe it waSfur
getting delegates from doubtful localities.
But what must be thought OF candidate
for the highest office in the world who has
no convictions that he is willing to stand
by concer ming the most momentous question
that has engaged public attention for a
quarter OF a century? This Napoleon should
learn thatthe people will tolerate no lodging
or straddlng on this matter not this year.

SOUND MONEY TALK.

California was gold State when it was
admitted, and has remained a gold State
since. None of its debtors have anything
to gain by a radical change of standard
not even the banks, which, under a silver
standard, would be able to pay ali de-
positors 90 cents on the dollar. The de
rangement of business and temporary de-
struction of credit that would result from
such change would probably break most
Of the banks in California, including per-
fectly solvent institutions-Los Angeles
Herald.
Silyerites want to pay the wages of
labor in 5o-cent dollars. To illustrate:
Employees on the elevated loop structures
in this city receive 81 1-2 cents an hour
now at gold rates.. and they demand an
increase to 40 cents an hour. If they
should get the increase and Il free silver
money system should be adopted. then
45 cents an hour wages would amount to
but % 1-2 cents an hour in real money.
Tic success of the strike would result in
their getting IA cents an hour in good
money less than they are getting now

DANGEROUS LITERATURE

Some one has remarked that good books
is a sweeping declaration, yet in a great
measure true, Cor there is a class of books
that are literally curse to the community.
The kind of publication that may be desig-
mated as dime novel literature is the most
dangerous imag aginable, especially for boys
between the ages of fourteen and eighteen.
They ma Y be harmless for people who have
passed the three -Score-and-ten mark, for

but for the minds Of youths they are the

fully illustrated In the case of three boys;
none of them over eighteen years of age,
upon whom just now terrible punishment
has been visited by a Pennsylvania court.
They were sons Of respectable, even we'll
to-do parents, living in happy homes, sur
rounded by good influences; offspring OF
pure mothers and honorable fathers. In
an evil hour some cursed yellow covered
dime novel OF the Bloody Bill, the Terror
of Hangmau's Gulch" order fell into their
hands. It was eagerly devoured; then
another aud yet another and so on until
their imagination was all inflamed with tile
ambition to lead the life of desperadoes
They left their homes one night and placed
distractions upon railway line with the
intention OF derailing a train and robbins

OF causing the death OF the engineer ant

anybody. Intime they were detected sthe

one of them to imprisonment for life and

LAST CHANCES FOR CHEAPERGAs

LAST CHANCES FOR RCHEAPERGAS
Two chances are left for cheaper gas for
the people of the District. One is in the
Senate, the other in the conference COM
mittee. The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee has cut out OF the District bill the
clause providing for seventy five cent gas;
the Senate can restore it, or at least do
something that will reduce the present
price to some more reasonable figure. 1t
would be in order for some Senator to move
an amendment restoring the clause of the
House bill or, perhaps, in its stead, the
sliding scale proposed in the bill recently
under consideration by the Senate District
Committee Al any rate an effort can he
made in the direction OF the contamination
so greatly desired by our people. 1t is not
neCessary Y TO desi gnate by nameany Senator,
but there are several who have heretofore
given evidence of their Willingness TO help
the District Now there is an opportunity
and it is hoped that one or more OF them
viii improve it.
The last chance lies in conference, II
the Senate should concur in the action OF
the Appropriations Committee and take
no step at all TO reduce the price of gas.
The debate in the House, when that part
OF the District bill relating to gas was
under discussion, sho wed that the sentiment
| in that body is overwhelmingly in favor of
| cheaper gas for both public and private
consumption. The conferees on the part
| of the House, therefore, would only act in
| the spirit OF a majority of that body by
| insisting upon the reinsertioD OF the gas
| reduction clause even If in modified
form.
1t would be more than remarkable If
this session of Congress should close with
| out some conclusive action on this subject.
| Tie contention cannot be advanced that the
| Washington GaslighJ Company has rot
| had sufficient notice to accommodate
| itself to the new order or things If reduc'
ton we're ordered to go into effect on the
lst of July or whatever other reasonably
| near date might be fixed. The agitation
for cheaper gas has been going on for sev
eral Years, and when the Fifty fourth
| Congress assembled last December il was
generally understood and expected by
the people, and by the company no less, tina
a reduction of tile price of gas would bt

to make its arrangements for meeting th'
new conditions, and any further delay il
carrying out what the people so long wished
for and q had right to look for will smpl.

exorbitant price and the iuordinate profit

To do this would be so fragrant disre

ROBABLY no member of the House Is
r in more general and constant demand
than Ma ior Picker, chairman of the
Committee on Invalid Pensions. Not
only is his cOmmittee-room constantly
crowded with decrepit or injured veterans
their wives. mothers, or other dependent
relatives, but almost every hour OF the
day he is sent for on the floor by some
man or woman anxious to secure the quar-
teriy stipend paid by the Pension Office.
Mr.. Picker is very patient and listens at
tentiyely to the stories these people have
to tell, and should there be circumstances
which preclude the possibility OF their
ever obtaining pension; he kindly informs
them of that fact Naturally he has to
deal with great many humbugs and un-
deserving people.
A few days ago a blind man, led by
his daughter. came to the west door of the
House and sent in card to the chair
man Of the Invalid Pensions Committee.
Ma ior Picker Immediately came out and
in a few moments had lea rDed the whole
history The man. according to his own
statement was totally undeserving OF
any consideration at the hands Of the gov
ernment. The records showed that he had
deserted twice. once upon the eve OF an
important battle; he had re-enliSted under
an assumed name. bad obtained bounty in
each case. but had always been very care
FIJI not to get under fire. He had lost his
eyesight by work in some chemical labor
atory. and could claim no responsibility
upon the part OF the government for his
in niuries. He was very indignant. how
ever. when Mr.. Pickler Informed him that
he was not deserving Of being put upon
