It is said that the President will give
liberal attention in his message to the
financial question OH the line of his well
known policy. Congress, however, is not
likely to do anything with financial
questions this winter. The composition
of the Senate precludes all possibility of
any positive action. The most that the
friends of sound money and currency re-
form can do Is to maintain the status
quo and prevent any backward step.

1t had been supposed that all the
states now had laws against prize fight
ing and that for a contest of that sort a
foreign soountry must be sought. But
the contest in San Francisco bstween
Sharkey and Fitzsimmens appears to have
had all the essential of prize fight no
matter what it may have been called !;
and 1t took place apparently not in def
anoe of the laws of the state but under
their patronage, as several policemen were
present to preserve order.

Alabama is thinking of going into the
rum business after the manner of South
Carolina ny setting up State dispensaries.
Probably the dispensary plan has littl o
virtue as drink suppressor, but If rum
must be sold and drunk there are AL
vantages in having the state get the
profit, inasmuch as it has generally to
support the victims of the rumshop.

CURRENT COMMENT.
SPEAKER REED.
Concord Monitor.

The legislative problems which the Re-
publican party must confront and solve
between March 4, 1897, and the election
of 1898 are such as to demand Speaker
Reeds continuance in the chair of the
House and the new administration free.
| ly recognizes that fact and Is glad that q
man like Mr.. Reed is ready for the
| place. Whatever talk there is of replac-
ing him comes from sources which are
prompted by personal ambitions and has
no con nsction with the policies which
the next administration will attempt to
carry out.
THE INDEPENDENT VOTER.
Boston Hersld.)
The municipal elections which were
held in eleven cities in Massaoh usetts on
Tuesday are not all in favor of any par
ticular party, although in nearly every
Case the candidates for mayor were put
in nomination by political parties. The
result Of the voting indicates that the
independent voter is still very much
alive, and that he is particularly lively
in municipal elections. The party label
goes but precious little way in these
local elections, and the tendency toward
independent yotingSgrows stronger and
stronger every year. All of which il en-
couraging to the friends of good munich

The charge Of this crime against James

petitioners ana caused each Of them to be
stunned and avoided by former friends and

from forming desirable friendships and
from becoming acquainted with good pco-

firmly believes, greatly retard AID LiBder
