The few members of the House who are in
bown show only The most iaIguid interest
10 the Presidents Venezuelan commission.
The principal regret expressed is that the
President did not select men of international
reputation such as ex-Ministcrs Phelps and
Lincoln.
Ii was felt that such names would carry
greater weight in Great Britain ard On the
continent tl,aHthoSe OF other men who might
be more r,HC wged as jurists tut W! ose Yep
ptatlons are local.
The fact has developed that strong IN
fuence was brought TO bear Oh Secretary
Oiney TO create a commission of five per-
sons. two oI whom should be distinguished
foreigners AMI the remainder Americans of
equal prominence. One of the names svg-
gested was that of Prof. James +. Bryce,
whose history OF the American common
wealth is standard work among the Eng
disappearing peoples on both sides OF the
Atlantic.
SOME FOREIGN MEMBERS.
Itwas represented TO Secretary Olney that
II Mr.. Brice and Some well known German.
for example. could be induced TO accept
places ON the commission. its conclusions
would be accepted with muchmore favor by
Europeans than those where the members
were distinctly Americans.
The five members ofthe commissio n have
npt YET EOIllttl llie ITtStutDl Oh
their acceptance, but Mr.. Cleveland had
received aSsura noes before he appointments
were announced that each of the gentle
men selected was willing to serve.
1t is learned that no formal tenders of
places in tie commission Were made. but
Justices Brewer and Alvey, and Messrs.
Coudert, White, and Gilman were sounded
as to their sentiments with regard to
serving, ana tie President was fully cogni-
zant of their views. This possibly ac-
counts for the technical denials made by
two members OF the commission as TO the
place having been rendered" them.
WHY GILMAN WAS SELECTED.
The selection OF Prof. Gilman was largely
determined by his prominence as a geo.
life OF President Mouroe in which n
chapter is devoted to the Monroe doctrine
was of secondary Importance in connection
with this appointment as Prof. Gilman
does not express any radical views On the
subject. 1t is interesting to note that
Prof. Gilman iu his book on Monroe takes
the ground that the idea embodied i'll the
famous doctrine did not originate with
Canning, but was practically suggested
many years before his time.
Chief ustice Fuller is largely re-
sponsible for the selection OF Justice
Brewer. The Chief Justice has had several
Olney on the subject and it is not unlikely
that his opinion also had weight in the
appointment OF Chief Justice Alvey,

EWING COURT-MARTIAL.
1t Was Concluded at Leavenworth
KAN, Yesterday

Leavenworth. Kans., Jan. 3.-The court
martial case of Capt. and Assistant Surgeon
Charles X. Ewing came to an end yester-
day.
Gen. Walker Of Missouri argued for the
accused, and Capt. Rcdinan. the judge ad-
yocate, closed on behalf of the government.
The case is now in the hands of the court
AT Fort Leavenworth and in army circles
generally there is much speculation as to
the outcome.
Additional interest centers in this case
because Ewing has already filed charges
against Maj. Whyte, and the result of the
present ccurt-inartiai is supposed to have a
Tremendous bearing on these charges and
specifications.
The result of the court-:nartial, Whit
ever ii may he. will go to Gen Merritt for
approval before being made public.

the hope that. tho. controversy would be
speedily terminated, and that there should
be no further contest as to the status of the
disputants.
The vestrymen withdrew after DR.. Gra-
hams expression and held a meeting in
the yestry hall, transacting business OF a

Prescribing for the Effect.

The goldbug financial school has
serious time accounting for the condition
of affairs in business, and suggesting
satisEactory--to hemselves--remedy
They diagree as to the cause or what will
mend it. Many Of them have adopted
the tariff politicians theory; which is
lack of sufficient revenue. This they de
clare accounts for gold exports and wan
of " confidence" The New York Finan
ciey, the leading New York, or Wal
street, banking paper of the country, ha
settled down on this theory. But wha
causes the lack of revenue? Is it not the
want of money? Prices are so low fol
the want of money among consumers te
purchase, that they are not able to keeI
up the revenue-for it is the ability to
purchase that sustains the revenue. The
want of money to carry OH business i:
the sole and primary want. Every other
defect may be traced to this, and if il
we're not SO serious to the people it would
be amusing to view the many theories
put forth by the banking class. Their
greed appears to blind them to the fact
that the money famine existing drives
labor out of employment, on the employ.
ment of which in productive industry de.
ponds the increase of all wealth, the
increase in revenue and the permanent
prosperity of the banks themselves.
The Financier ought to know that a
million of bank credit will not pay for
one mans breakfast. 1t must be paid for
with money. 1t is the same with every
thing that is consumed. 1t must be paid
for with cash. The thing consumed
ceases to pass on and cannot shift the
credit which has borne it thus far onto
another. Credit stops or disappears and
money must return to compensate the
producer or he must lose. The cause is
the want of money, and the effect is the
shortage in revenues and loss of conf
dence. You Wall street doctors are pre-
scribing for, and attempting to doctor the
effect, while 1.-THE disease is overlooked.
Your policy will never succeed, and you
will be forced to the wall by the steadily
increasing pressure on the industrial
classes. Your misinterpretation of sta
tistics only serves to blind your own eyes.
The tariff baron and the gold baron have
joined forces. Both are parasites whose
existence depends on productive industry,
and that on money, real money, not bank
credit.

The Yankee Farmers.

From a private letter of Col.
Noyes we venture to make the fol-
lowing extract. Col. Noyes is a
full blooded Yankee farmer and
frequently visits his relations in
the old wooden nutmeg state, and
he is also on the lookout for con-
trasts and a comparison of notes
with his old neighbors. He says:
"The republican papers are play
ing the role that all the Yankees
are gold bugs. They had better
watch the New England farmer.
He is reading more and is a deep
thinker; has suffered more under
contraction than anywhere else,
simply because he has to pay
manufacturers prices for labor. |
can see no future for the N. E.
farmer unless he is provided with
more money to pay labor. AS it
stands now his fields are only used
(barring small patches in crops) to
pasture cattle which don't pay.
Consequently where COWS cannot be
used Gas near cities at a profit, his
lands are neglected and growing up
to bushes and finally into woods.
So much for a gold standard to
measure his products. The N. E.
farmer like other farmers is in favor
of silver, and when he sees the Re
publican Convention nominate for
President with the whole consoli-
dated money, national bank, Roths-
child interest to back it, you mark
my word he is going to flop. He
has had enough. His lines have
not fallen in pleasant places. A
high tariff and gold basis, high
taxes and scarce money is curious
anomaly, particularly when the
farmers have no money to pay the
taxes. This will be an important
factor in the next election.

to hold.-From "The Effects of the
Gold Standard" by w. H. Smith,
M. d., Phi. d.
Our author claims but half we
are entitled to as a first class nation,
and what we can have financially,
simply by reaching out our hand
and taking it. All this immense
mass of idle silver (nearly $4,000
tons) could be put into circulation
and made to serve as money, and
the 1904, 6O6, 1S5 in paper, debased
or crippled by being in the form OF
demaud notes, should be converted
into full legal tender money, equal
in all respects to silver and gold,
"primary money" as it is termed
when the government gives money
full legal tender functions, for any
and every money purpose, for the
use of the people in this country.
This would free the people and gov
eminent from the domination of the
Rothschilds and their cOnfederates
of Wall street. Such a financial
policy would create almost new
nation Of this country. 1t would
have free and independent Amer
lean financial policy, which would
in a few years make the United
States the greatest nation in ter
ritory, (Which it now is), wealth
and resources the world ever had,
since the creation of man, in place
of what the English gold standard,
with the aid of such traitors as
Sherman, Carslile and Cleveland, J
has made the United States, a mere
dependency and interest payer to
England For the dishonor of
being virtual slaves the American
people are paying to foreign nabobs
and money explOiters $500, 900
annually, with a crippled industry
and ruined business on every hand,
as the result of this abominable
gold standard.

This Country's Greatness and It's
Shame.

The United States has become the
foremost nation in the world indus
trially. One third of the worlds
manufacturing is done and nearly
half its newspapers are published
in the United States. We have
one third of the worlds saving
bank deposits, and one-half its rail
way mileage. We produce one
third of the worlds supply of the
precious metals, nearly one. half of
its copper, over one-fourth of its
iron and steel, one fourth of its
wheat and four fifths of its cotton.
This indicates our Importance as a
commercial nation. We are lead
ing the van and ought to be able to
dictate the financial policy of other
nations instead of borrowing ours
from England.-"The Effects of the
Gold Standard"
1t is matter of surprise that
Americans are not ashamed OF
themselves in the face of these facts.
1t is anna zing to see the tameness
with which they submit to dicta-
ton from gang Of Wall street
bankers.

The Infamous Gold Standard.

In 1895, July list, our national
Treasury contained $5l2, 1888, 751 in
silver and silver bullion. The res
toration of the white metal to its
position of money metal equal to
gold would make this immense sum
available to meet our outstanding
obligations. 1t would give us in
stead of $155, 100000 the stipend
GUS sum of $66S, 232 1888 to meet the
1904, 6O6, 1S5 of demand liabilities.
1t would relieve us of the necessity
of mortgaging this country to the
Rothschilds to get gold, and go a
long way towards placing us in that
position of financial independence
among the nations which we ought

The Hostess as a Listener.

AS hostess, the daughter of the
house, whether officiating in the
absence of her mother or assisting
her in the exercises of hospitality,
should be courteous and cordial.
Nobody expects young girl to take
II leading share in the conversation.
1t is quite enough If she holds her
own agreeably, and, above all, pays
attention to what others are saying
One secret of social success is to
listen well and look interested, and
this the girl hostess may do, and
will do the better the more real and
unaffected her interest Ia in the
people around her.
