Hon. John Sherman of Ohio in an
article on the American financial ills
written for the April Forum, closes his
argument with the following articles
of faith
"A careful study of the systems of
banking, currency, and coinage, adop-
ted by the principal nations of Europe
convinces me that our system-when
cured of a few defects developed by
time-founded upon the bimetallic coin

par with each other; with free national
banks established in every city and

and the issue of an amount of United
States notes and Treasury notes equal

'ETHE WAY, OF METROPOLIrAN
JOURNALS.

One of the saddest features connect
ed with the death of Kate Field i:
the apparent indifference as TO the
disposition of her remains and person,
al effects shown by people in the State:
from whom some word Of inquiry
standing the news of her death was
spread broadcast throughout her ma
tive land, and private letters were sent
to those by whom she was employed
only three persons have responded
Two of these were relatives and an
Others dear friend in PARKWAY Italy
To the people here the most surpris-
ing and ineXplicable feature about the
matter is the continued silence of those
for whom she was doing such noble
work in this country 1t would seem
that the journal from which she re-
ceiYed her commission to come to this
country would be the first to make in
quiry in event OF her demise while on
duty. Yet in this very incident is dis
played the cold-blOOded side and we
may also add the heartliness of
metropolitan journalism in the United
States. The lack of attention paid Miss
Field after her pen had written its
last paid line and her brilliant, intel
lectual mind was paralyzed by death,
is only one of hundreds similar Incl
dents that might be cited in nea. iy
every large city in the United States.
1t shows no unusual GOODNESS Of heart
on the part of those who reapad the
benefit of her talent; it is simply the
way" of the metropolitan newspaper
world. NJ any bright and talented
writer's have travelled the same road
and come to the same end.
In the minds of the metropolitan
publishers talent is a commodity to
be bought and sold. Personal interest
in the welfare of the writer is lost i'm
mediately he or she drops out or the
product of the over worked brain fails
to come up to the concert pitch. There
are others ready to step in and the pub
Usher knows it. Length of service or
GACGllSuCS VI lOi LuSI WI CulS I1O hS
ure 1t is a we'll worn saying among
New York newspaper men that when
James Gordon Bennett returns from
Paris and spends day or two in the
Herald Office he makes the elevator
boy editor-in-chief and the editor-in-
chief, elevator boy. The same prin-
ciple holds good in nearly every large
newspaper office throughout the length
and breadth of the United States. In
dividuality, hard work and loyalty to
the interests of the paper have no re-
ward aside from the stipend received at

Men and women go down before the
remorseless grind that demands some
thing novel, something catchy on every
day of the year. No corporation, no
business enterprise is more Indifferent
to the personality OF its employees than
the newspapers of the big cities.
Thus the lack of interest in Miss
Field which has excited comment in
Honolulu, would not be noticed in the
States. Newspaper men and women
might stop to say too bad but they
cannot spend much time in sympathy; /,
they must go on and strive to keep up
to the mark in the whirl of the repor-

toriaI grind" that is carrying them
to the same oblivion.
Truly Miss Field seems to have
passed her last days among her best
friends. Although she was here but a
short time our people came to know
and appreciate her talent and her
strength of character. The people of
Hawaii have reason 10 thank God that
they have tender hearts and that in
dealing with friends their depth of soul
is not limited TO the lining of their
pocket books
