Washington. Aug. IL. - Messrs. Nc.
MILAN. Richardson and Fithian left Tho
Democratic headquarters last night fol-
New York. TO take part In the Bryan
notification meeting. Mr.. Richardson
will confer with Chairman Jones as TO
rectifying two errors which crept into
the platform. Mr.. Richardson acted as
the chairman of the convention at the
time the platform was adopted. one Of
these corrections relates To the amend
ment of Senator Hlll TO the financial
plank. declaring that existing contracts
shall not be affected by any change in
the financial standard. This appears in
the official draft of the platform, al
though Mr. Richardson says il was not
adopted. The other change is verbal.
and relates to the plank limiting the
tenure OF Office. These corrections in
the platform must be made before Mr..
Bryan is notified.

IS SCANADA'S SAY
Can Accept or Reject Our
Silver at Will.
Sudden Change of Policy on
the Part of Dominion.
Will Not Be Officially Recognized
by the United States.

Washington, Aug. 12.-There was
some gossip at the treasury department
yesterday, about the action of the Cana
dian banks in deciding not to accept our
silver certificates except at a discount
of 10 per cent. In the past consider
able amount OF United states bills have
circulated beyond the border concur
rently with Canadian money. They have
been receivable for taxes. and have been
interchangeable without discrimination.
The present action OF the banks of
Canada, IL is presumed, has been the re-
suit of a fear that the country would be
forced on a silver basis.
Greenbacks and treasury notes are re-
deemable liz gold, and against such bills
the Canadian banks make no discrim-
ination. Acting Secretary Of the Treas
ury Curtis called attention to the fact
that in 1893, before the purchasing clause
Of the Sherman act was repealed, the
banks OF Buenos Ayres refused to ac-
cept an exchange on the United States,
because OF the fear that before the bills
reached New York the United States
might suspend gold payments. Other
treasury officials called attention to the
fact that in their refusal TO accept our
silver or it's equivalent in silver certifi-
Gates, which Canada has heretofore re-
ccived for conveniency sake. her banks
were simply exercising a discrimination
which we exercised, as our 0anks do

silver coin at par. European countries

when It crosses the border. is received at
a discount. They circulate at par only
in their own country. Some of the Ca
madam street railway companies have
also given notice that they will not ac-
cept our silver after Jan. /. Canadian
coins are not accepted now by the United
States street railways. except along the
border where they can find their way
back into the Dominion at once.
There were baseless rumors afloat
about t-sehae sort OF retaliation by this
government. Treasury officials pro-
nounoe this absurd The treasury de-
rartment has not, and in this nature Of
things. will not, be officially Informed OF
the change of policy Of the Canadian
hanks. The question whether they will
receive our silver certificates at par is
purely question for them TO determine.

ministratiou was steadily In progress, the
benefits hoped for by the farmers did not
accrue. The tame vicious spirit penetrated
the military system. The enrolment proved
not only a burden but a curse to the male
inhabitants. because the employees Of the
war department used the new system as a
cover for new eNsctidns, In a word. in a

CHARACTER IN HISTORY.
The brilliant and able leader Of the party
that put an end to populism was none other
than he who, when a boy, performed that
act which is pictured In Chinese art and
familiar even in our own homes where
Chinese keramics are appreciated, In his
boyhood one of his playfellows. leaning over

drowning was deserted by the other boys.
who ran screaming away, while X. Sze-ma,
taking I'M a big stone, dashed the vase to
pieces, thus saving the boys life. In like
manner in mature life he saved Chinese so
cial order when its very existence was in
danger from those who had lost their bal
ance.
The scholar does not need to be informed
that out of this bitter contest rose an intel
lectual landmark in the history of China,
There was no blood shed, no civil war; but,
when the voice of the nation had raised the
conservatives to power, the radical populist
leaders were banished beyond the frontier,
Then began a course of deep inquiry into
the nature and use of money. of land. OF
property of all sorts, and the reciprocal.
duties of men to men as individuals and as
organized into social and governmental
forms. This thinking resulted in a litera-
ture which has been for centuries the basis
of opinions of educated men in China, Korea
and Japan.
