CURRENT COMMENT.
THE CURRENCY ISSUE IN CONNEC-
| TICUT
(Hartford Courant. }

\darGIOTu OOufanb)
Some fool friends of Maj. McKinley's-
he has some of that kind in Connecticut
as we'll as in other states-have hastily
assumed that loyalty to him requires
them to below at what they call "gold
monometalism' and to clamor that the
Republican party must continue to pro-
fess an anxiety to do something for silver,
as it did in 1888 and again in 1899. They
will be at the convention, urging dele
gates to make our Connecticut money
plank as close an imitation as possible
of the double-faced Ohio money plank.
Is Connecticut to be thus misrspresented
aud put to shame before. the sound-money
Republicans of the other states? 1t de-
ponds upon whether the men of light and
leading in the towns, the boards Of trade,
the bankers, manufacturers, business
men and professional men, bestir them
selves in season and in practical ways
to prevent it.
THE OHIO WOBBLE.
philadelphia North Amerioan.)
The Ohio smart Alecks can now see
what they clearly did not see before, that
gentlemen who wire in and wire out cam
not set the financial pace this year. They
had a good time RshakingE hands with
each other, and probably the author Of
the financial plank vigorously shook
hands with himself. But the reception
or that plank throughout the country
may have corrected some erroneous views
in that quarter. Even the wild and wool
ly West put on sardonic smile as it read
the Ohio resolution. The New York and
Massachusetts Republicans having de-
cided views, expressed them in language
and in terms that cannot be mistaken.
There is no ooquetting with dictionary
words in the New York and ..Massaehu-
setts platforms.
NOT MUCH LEFT TO GAIN.
(Boston aerald.)
The Republicans do rot appear to have
mado any great gains in Rhode Island.
Possibly, this may be explained blythe
circumstances that there was not much
left for them to gain.
PRESIDENTIAL CHICKENS.
Boston Globe.)
Counting presidential chickens is the
most uncertain of things, and the earli-
est hatcnings sometimes offer the most
inoonclusiVe ratings. This doesn't
mean, however, that the friends of Tom
Reed should relax single effort to con-
oentrate the anti Mckinley forces upon
the man from Maine. The wise boomer
must be as alert in April as in June. and
must let no opportunity pass by unim-
proved, whether it's a county in the south
or congressional district III the north.

en- and voted against it. 1t is true that
the silver purchasing act known as the
Sherman law, was passed while he was
Speaker Of the House of Representatives,
ami that he favored it at that time. The
reason, however, that he favored it was
that he believed, along with most Of the
other sound money Republicans Of the
House, that either this concession must
be made to the silver men or a free
coinage bill pure and simple, would be
enacted. He was compelled to choose be-
tween the evils Of larger coinage of sill
yer and free coinage, and he chose the
least and thereby, we believe, saved the
country from great calamity. The Bos-
ton Herald referring to the repudiation
by Mr.. Reed IS friends of Senator Chand-
ler's assertion that the platform adopted
by the Massachusetts, Republicans was
unsuited to the candidacy of Mr.. Reed,
pays this just tribute to his financial
record in the House of Representatives:
The repudiation is fully justified by the
splendid record which stands to Mr..
Reeds credit in connection with currency
legislation. AS speaker of tho present
Congress and as leader of the Repu blican
minority In the two previous Congresses,
he has been a bulwark of the honest
money cause. No man in the House has
done better service to the business COM
munity in preserving the currency from
Imitation schemes, whether they came
from Republicans or Democrats. He holds
in the popular chamber much the same
position which Senator Sherman holds in
the upper chamber, and can be looked
to with equal confidence as a resolute op-
ponent of every project that threatens the
impairment of our monetary system. No
doubt, Mr.. Reed is a bimetallist, but SO
is Senator Sherman, and both of them,
in spite of their bimetallism, have shown
themselves thoroughly safe and trust
worthy in dealing with silverite schemes.
They rest their advocacy of the double
standard upon the condition of an inter-
national agreement. They are willing
to have the United States join the leading
nations of Europe in the establishment OF
common ratio between silver and gold,
but they draw a hard and fast line at this
point, and refuse to go an inch beyond it,
or to oOuntenance Independent action in
any degree. There is nothing to prevent
bimetallists of the international tpye,
like Senator Sherman and Speaker Reed,
from standing fat footed on the currency
plank of the Massachusetts, platform. We
can easily understand that men like Sena-
tor Chandler find in the Massachusetts
platform sounder financial doctrine than
they are willing to subscribe to, but the
New Hampshire senator makes a great
mistake if he supposes Sthat Mr.. Reed 8
currency creed is framed on the straddling
pattern that found favor in the Concord
convention.

Kidney Trouble Cured.

The importance of knowing just what
to do when one is afflicted with kidney

is best answered by the following letter

MIR. REED AND THE CURRENCY.


Nobody acquainted with Speaker Reed
can ever honestly assert that he is lacking
in opinions on all the great questions of
the day or wanting in courage to express
them when there is any reason to do so.
A "dodger" Mr.. Reed never was. Any
thing like evasion is the farthest posi-
BILE from his nature. The attempt to
represent him as evading the currency
question is a purely dishonest attempt,
known to be SO by the men or the news
papers who make it. To be sure Mr..
Teed has not seen fit to deliver himself
of an essay on currency every time some
newspaper, trying to boom its circulation,
has sent around circular asking his
views. Neither has he thought it worth
while to attempt to reply to the misrepre-
sentations of his convictions put forth BY
political enemies, for to do SO would
have occupied most of his time,
and his corrections would have
been made the basis of new misrep-
resentatlons. But whenever there has
been any call for him to speak or to act
he has spoken and acted without equiyo-
cation or ambiguity. He has been in the
House of Representatives about twenty
years, and for the larger part of that time
has been very conspicuous member, and
there he has frequently spoken and acted
on currency questions Anybody really
anxious to know the truth about Mr..
Reeds currency views can readily get it
by consulting his record which has been
as open as the day. No doubt Mr.. Reed
is a bimetalllst in sense. That is to
gay he would favor an international agree
nent for more extended use of silver
But he has always been unalterably
opposed to any attempt on the part of this
country alone to plaoe silver on the Same
plaza with gold, and he has always spok-

The Bermuda which was supposed to
have landed men and munitions of war
on the Cuban coast seems to have brought
up at Honduras where she is in the hands
of the authorities and will doubtless be
confisoated. A true story relating to the
Cuban rebellion would be one of the
greatest conceivable novelties.
The Portland daily press., 1896-04-04

1t becomes more and more evident that
the silly performance of New Hampshire
was simply the result of row between
the two Republican factions in that state,
one of which Mr.. Chandler appears to
stand at the head of and the other of
which Mr.. Henry m. lPutney of Man
chester aspires to lead. The combatants
have the great satisfaction that they all
about equally sultified themselves.

The chances that Mr.. Du Pont of Della
ware will be given seat in the Senate
are not SO good as they appeared to be a
short time ago. The Populists who were
expected to vote in his favor have an
nouneed their intention to vote the other
way, and without their help the Republi-
cans cannot seat him. Probably the
merits of the case have had nothing what
ever to do with the decision of the Popu-
list members. The discovery that Du
Pont is not for free silver settled them.

1t must be borne in mind that the

datioD-thouRh one which will carry
great weight. coming as it does from the
committee that has examined the matter
and must be passed upon by the House,
the Senate and the President before it
will have the effect of law. 1t is not an
uncommon thing for appropriations re-
ported by the committee to be scaled
down considerably before they are finally
adopted, and it is by no means certain
now that Portland will get all that the
committee has recommended. 1t is pref
ty certain, however, to get large sum.

too, he is a pretty highly paid man. He
has to read, we will say, 5000 papers
regularly. All the newspapers in the
country come into the office, and he does
not do anything else. He sits at his desk
all day, and a pile of newspapers, or,
say, cord of newspapers, is laid before
him every morning. He starts to work
and turns them over and over to see
what is in them He has to know what
it is that should be taken from them
and put into his paper. What is the in
teresting story? 1t requires Judgment to
know this. 1t requires knowledge and
experience as well as talent. 1t also re
quires a sense of humor, because there
are great many things that are really
important that may not seem so at the
first glance, and the newspaper reader
has got to judge about that He must
always be ON hand and spend great
many hours at his desk, and he is pretty
