IN A NUT SHE'LL.
Washington Times.l

Speculation as to the probable
success of the various candidates for
Presidential honors necessarily leads
to discussion as to their fitness
or the Republicans, Mckinley, Reed,
Morton and Allison are most promi.
nent in the race, and the Democrats
are anticipating the candidacy of
Carlisle, Olney, Morrison, Stevenson,
Hill and Cleveland. The points 10
be considered when debating their
availability are, first, Their business
standing and as sociations, after which
the political career and public life
OF each should demand attention.
Mckinley, as the leading factor
in the Republican Presidential outfit,
presents peculiar combination of
unrestricted incompetency. AS a
business man he was pronounced
failure to such degree that the as
distance of his friends was necessary
to keep him from bankruptcy, His
career as lawyer lacked the element
of success, and it was only in Con
gress, as the creature of manufac.
turers, that he achieved anything
like reputation or notoriety. In pub
lie life his associations have been
such as to warrant the belief that, as
President, lie would fsil to meet the
requirements. and there can be no
doubt that his administration would
be far fran satisfactory.
Morton, as the apostle OF bank
ing rings, would serve them faithful
ly and well, but his age, business in
terests, and associations with the
New York Republican ring unfit him
to become popular President. nor
is it likely that he will be nominated.
"Reed, The car of Congress aud
the dictator OF unpopular policies, is
doubtless an honest public man and
n good lawyer, but his autocratic
manner and infexible methods would
involve tho White House and Capitol
in an endless controversy were he
placed in control as chief executive,
and consequently he should be re.
jected.
"Of the different Presidential DOS.

circles Allison is best fitted and the
most deserving that preferment.

sues, and thus far his integrity as n
trusted legislator has never been
questioned. This is saying a good
deal when it is considered that most
OF his colleagues in Congress have,
10 some way, been compromised, but
in all his long career Allison has been
looked upon az a conservative, honest
public servant.
First but not greatest among the
probable Democratic candidates, the
pretense OF Carlisle, Olney and Glove

Carlisle Tells at.heIS He Is Not
Prepared to Issue Them.
The following letter from the Secretary
of the Treasury was made public yester
day:
president Merchants National Bank,
Boston, Mass:
''Sir: Replying to your favor of the
24th of November, written i'll behalf OF
the Roston banks, asking for the issue
granted in section II of the act of July
II, 1882. l am not yet prepared TO give
the necessary order.
After lne@,rcserNe has once fallen be-
low one hundred millions and the isSle of
such certificates has been stopped, it is
not certain that the Secretary of the
Treasury, especially in view Oh existing
conditions, would be justified i n resuming
their reissue.
1t has been he experience OF the de-
partment in the past that the normal in
crease OF the gold reserve caused by the
exchange OF paper currency for gold is

Moreover, the House of Representatives
of the Fifty-third Congress-, nj it's third
session, passed a bill disseminating their
issue entirely, and it is the intention OF
the department To present the subject again
at a very early date. AS the amount oi
the gold reserve is largely determined from

on record on the Morse bill, then penLing
in the House of Representatives, which
has for its purpose the further amend
ment OF the law to regulate the sale OF

shall, when a renewal OF his license is
desired, secure a majority OF signatures OF
all propert y-owners and residents, as pro-
yided in said section for original ap-
plicants.

times be exposed to view from the street.

finished the treaty which will establish
arbitration as the means OF settling all
disputes between the United States and
Great Britain, those only excepted that
arise from an insult to national honor.
This is 4 great step forward i'll the ad-
justment OF international disputes.
Probably il viii not usher in the mnlen-
fum, and the people Of the earth VIII not
Immediately proceed to turn I'll their sw ords
into ploughshares, or their spears into
pruning hooks. Nor is il likely that all
the factories where big and little guns
are made will close down Eccausc there
will no longer be a market for their wares,
and powder and dynamite, and warships
and torpedocs will continue TO be manu-
factured in ever increasing quantities
The nations Of Europe will not go into the
general disarmament business, though no
doubt it would save them tidy sum of
money every year if they were to do so.
The time is not yet come when the lion
and the lamb viii lie down together
Yet the moral effect Of two great nations
entering into an agreement to submit al
their disputes to the arbitrament of disin-
terestcd parties and abide by the decision
rendered by these cannot be other than
far-reaching. 1t may not be felt at once,
nor in a year, nor in 4 decade, to the eX-
tent of inducing imitation, but it will
surely tend to advance the disposition Of
other nations to appeal to reason rather
than TO the sword in questions upon which
they are at variance &c the point of rup-
ture This will be the case especially
as absolutiSm gives way more and more
20 government by the people, who are not
slow to recognize the policies that are
I TO their advantage. At any rate, this in
| PRODUCTION OF arbitration as n factor in
the settlement of international differ
ences is great triumph for civilization
Indeed, in one respect it may be called a
crowning achievement of the nineteenth
century, and the future historian will
surely record it as greatly to the honor
OF the two nations that agreed to so
humane a policy.
