Currency Reform.

An Indianapolis dispatch says that the
| advisabiity Of calling a national conyen-
! ton in that city at an early day to urge
revision of the currency laws of the
country is being agitated. Such a conven-
ton would have a good effect. It wouldn't
be bad idea to hold a convention of The
kind suggested In every state in the I'M
ion. There would not of course, be much
/ agreement as to what changes should be
made in existing currency laws, but the
conventions would put. congress on notice
that currency reform of some sort is inn
perativey demanded.
The country doesn't want any more such
campaigns as the one that has just been
concluded. The way to avoid such CAM
paigns is for congress to give the people a
more satisfactory currency The chief COM
plants are that our present currency is
not sufficiently elastic, and that it is a
difficult matter to borrow money in some
sections of the country even when reason.
ably good security is offered for it. The
money accumulates in New York and the
whole country is dependent upon that
money center.
The republican party, when it comes into
power, should not devote its time to the
tariff. A dollar a barrel on beer or a small
tax on sugar would furnish all the addi-
tioRal revenue that is needed. What is
wanted is currency reform-a banking sys-
TEN that will satisfy the demands Of the
whole country. If the republican party sue
ceeds in giving the country what it de-
mands in the matter of currency there will
be no more agita ton of the silver question.
1t would be a difficult matter to get a
currency reform bill through congress, be-
cause of the great differences of opinion
as to the kind of reform needed, but if
conventions are held in different parts of
the country, insisting upon a more salts
factory currency system, congress will feel
obliged to put aside less important matters
and give it's whole attention to the cur
rency problem.

Several passengers on Baltimore and
Ohio express from Cincinnati to Wash
ington, the day after the election, had
good joke on Attorney General Harmon
who was on the train, the story being re
lated by himself at his own expense"
said Mr.. W. A. Burk of Chicago at the
Raleigh, according to the Washington
Post. Somebody made the discovery
that Senator PETER OF. Kansas was in the
Pullman, and after a general converse
ton on election results, Gen. Harmon
observed: I think I shall hunt up Sen
ator PETER, although I've never made his
acquaintance, and see how he views the
situation
1--WE had just then stopped at Parkers-
burg. W. Va The Attorney General had
no difficulty in recognizing the whiskered
statesman from the Sunhower state, and
going up to him, with outstretched hand,
said: Senator PETER, 1 beg the pleas
ure of your acquaintance; am Attorney
General Harmon.
An returned the senator, with a
gracious smile, of this state?'

The Venezuela Dispute.

There VIII be no more talk of war be-
tween this country and Great Britain on
account of the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute, unless some new and unforeseen COM
plication arises. A basis of settlement has
been agreed upon that is satisfactory to
Venezuela and Great Britain, and there
fore to this country. The differences in
respect to the boundary between Venezu-
ella and Great Britain are to be submitted
to arbitration. the understanding being
that territory claimed by Venezuela that
has been occupied by British subjects for
fifty years is to remain in the possession
of Great Britain.
The chief difficulty in the way of arbi-
trating the dispute was the objection of
Great Britain to have questioned her right
to territory that had been occupied by
British subjects for a long time. 1t was
at first proposed that twenty years occu-
patton should be regarded as giving title
to the occupied lands. That was not sat
isfactory to Venezuela, and finally fifty
years occupation was proposed and that
proposition was accepted.
Inc Occupation VI Tic COAINllSSlOil dp-
pointed by the President to determine the
true boundary between British Guiana
and Venezuela is now gone. One hum
dred thousand dollars was appropriated
by congress for its expenses, and as that
amount has not yet been all spent the
commission viii probably continue to have
meetings until the arbtrators are appoint
ed by the governments that are interested
in the matter.
To President Cleveland belongs the credit
for having brought about arbitration,
which will lead to a settlement of the long
standing dispute For nearly fifty years
the dispute has been the subject of diplo-
macy. When Mr.. Cleveland took hold OF
it he sent a message to congress that
scared the country. 1t was thought that
what he said would bring about war be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain. Mr.. Cleveland was severely criticised
by newspapers of the east, but the coun-
try approved what he did.
The British government understood that
the time for a settlement had come, and
Englands prime minister set himself tc
work to get the best terms he could. The
terms he secured from Secretary Olney
are, 1t seems, satisfactory to the British
people. The settlement, it Is claimed, Is
alike honorable to this country and Great
Britain. Honor is saved and Venezuela
| will get what belongs to her. The Presi
dents bold attitude which timid people
| thought meant war, brought both a settle
ment and peace.

Five prominent japanese gentlemen
representing vast interests, have arrived
in this country for the purpose of inspect
ing steel plants and probably making ar
engagements for the purchase of great
steel manufacturing plant, to be erected
in the coal fields of Southern Japan. The
plant they intend to erect will have ca
pacity of 100000 tons, and viii cost APP
proximately 100000 They say their in
tention is to buy where they can secure
the best material and machinery at the
lowest price. From the United States
they win so to Europe, where also they
will see what inducements are offered. 1t
is evidently the intention of the Japanese
to place their country in the van of mod
ern nations, in manufacturing as well as
IN war.

During the heat of the campaign the
city of New York offered for sale lot
of 3ls per cent. gold bonds. but was UNI
able to dispose of them at a satisfactory
figure. Indeed, but few bids were receiv-
ed for them, Notwithstanding the desira-
bic character Of the bonds. This weak
bids were again opened for the bonds.
when it was found that they had been
subscribed ten times over. and at prices
ranging from 1903 90 to 117.1. The amount
of the sale was something above $4,000
600. and it is said the sale was the best
the city has made in years. The incident
illustrates the fact that great sums of
money have been lying idle, and are now
seeking investment.

that during the last legislature he and
