Money Of the Constitution.

A favorite trick Of the silyerites,
when beaten in argument On the merits
Of the free coinage scheme, is to fall
back on the claim that "silver is money
Of the constitution. And in the alb
sence Of any better reason for changing
from the gold to the silver standard
they urge that the trainers Of the con
stitution mentioned bWh gold and sil
yer as legal tender money.
Although very frequently heard, the
assertion that silver has a claim to free
coinage through some reference to it in
the constitution has no basis in fact.
The founders Of the Union did not I'M
dertake to limit the powers Of congress
to legislate in regard TO the standard OF
values, and the only reference to the
two money metals is the clause which
prohibits the states from making any
thing but gold and silver tender in
payment Of debts. There is positively
nothing in the constitution which gives
any color to the pretenses Of the silver
ties.
But even if the trainers Of the consti-
tuition had seen fit to provide that both
gold and silver should be used as stand
ards Of value that would be no reason
for adhering to an unsafe and unsound
currency after experience had shown its
evils. Wise and great and good as our
forefathers were, they could not foresee
the enormous increase in the production
Of silver Of the last 20 years. And since
the great commercial nations have, aft
or centuries Of experimenting, decided
that the gold standard is the best, it
would be folly for this country to stick
to silver merely because cur ancestors
had used it, Americans want the best
If everything, no matter what tradition
may say, and if the constitution had
favored the silver standard it would
have been promptly amended to suit the
new conditions.

A ONCE FAMOUS CORRESPONDENT.
Tic Excited Anger by Calling New York
"a City Of One Street"


Antonio Gallenga, the former famous
Times correspondent, died recently at
his residence, in Monmouthshire. He
had reached the ripe old age Of IS. He
was member Of an old Piedmontese
family, and was educated at the Univer-
sity Of Parma Leaving Italy in conse-
quence Of the political events Of 1881,
he made his way after n time to the
United States, but returned to England
in 1899. Later he was charge d 'affaires
for Piedmont at Frankfort, and from
1854 to 1864 was a member Of the Pied
montese and Italian parliament
Sign0r Gallenga was best known in
this country from his connection with
The Times, which lasted from 1853 to
1883. In the interest Of that paper he
repeatedly travelled through Spain and
Italy and through the Spanish Antilles
and South America. George Augustus
Sala said Gallenga must have written
thousands Of leaders on foreign subjects
for The Times and in his Life" tells
the following story:
For many years Gallenga has been q
member Of the Atheneum club, and yet
not very long since, when l was asked
by the pert young editor Of a weekly
paper to give him list Of eminent jour
nalists whose portraits be might have
engraved, and l mentioned the name Of
Antonio Gallenga as that Of one Of the
most gifted and most distinguished
members Of my craft, the pert young
editor stared at me and said he did not
know who Gallenga was. 1t was Gal
lenga who gave such mortal offense dur
ing the American war by calling New
York 4 city Of one street.
Gallenga was the author Of many
books" Italy, Past and Present, 1.-THE
Blackgown Papers, Scenes from Ital-
ian Life" History Of Piedmont, "
1.-THE Pearl Of the Antilles, " Italy Re-
visited, " 1.-TWO Years of the Eastern
Question, 1.-THE Pope and the King, "
"A Summer Tour in Russia, " and many
others. He had been a teacher Of Ian
guages in his young days, and his edi-
ton of "Mariotti's Italian Grammar"
ran into some Is or 20 editions. Many
Of Gallenga's earlier books were pub
lished under the assumed name Of IL
Marriott.
One of the best known stories about
him is that concerning his visit, along
with Sala, to King Alfonso XII They
had travelled during the night, and on
arrival at their destination were sud-
denly summoned to breakfast with the
king. But the cold had been intense,
and the water was all frozen, and they
were in evening dress, with good deal
Of coal dust on their shirt fronts. Indeed
they looked more like sweeps than re-
spectacle journalists.
Suddenly happy thought struck Gal
lenga. did you ever try candles TO wash
With" he asked. And suiting the
action to the words he began rubbing
his face and hands with one. Sala fol-
lowed his example, and both managed
to get off q considerable quantity Of
griminess. They entered the roya, sa.
loon, had a truly royal breakfast, and
the condition Of their compilations did
not excite the slightest notice. West

The dog meat business continues, de-
spite the stern examples that have been
made Of its vendors. A policeman seized
man named Genaro Perez, passing
through the alley of Los Gachupines,
who bore a suspicious looking bag,
which, on examination, disclosed the
skinned carcass Of a large dog with the
lower part Of the legs cut off so as to pre-
vent the easy recognition Of its species.
NJ. Perez was taken to the police station
TO the third Demarcacion to be examined
as to the antecedents Of his dog meat,
which, it is shrewdly suspected, was des.
tined to be made into sayory dishes
sold as the puestos under the arcades.

Medical students In Revolt.

Medical students were on the strike
both at Athens and Moscow recently,
these indeed (as the ancient Greek his
torian loved put it, because five ladies
had been admitted into the Attic uni
verSity, but the Moscovites because they
are dissatisfied with the Russian govern
ment. In the Acropolis city the students
were divided, the eternal womanly
coming between them. Some cried out
to accept the necessary evil and some
raised a discord Of dissent. Matters came
to crisis in the chemical laboratory
when two students-one from Arcadia
strange context) and the other from
Asia Minor--discussed the matter with
one revolver between them, and Asia
Minor was carried off to the hospital on
a stretcher.
In Moscow the university youth has
been boycotting Professor Sacharin, the
famous doctor Of the late car, their
grievance against him being that he is
court physician. They refused to attend
his lectures, but Sacharin calmly re,
marked, "They need me, don't need
Them, " and proposed to give his lectures
in an empty room. Four came to the
first conference, six to the second; at
seven the number stood fast. And those
who came We're the poorest. Berlin

/. Wouldn't Work.

1t is often suggested that all that Is
needed to keep the gold reserve up to
the mark is to make the customs duties
payable In gold. But this means pre-
MUM on gold, as it implies discrimi-
nation against other forms of money.
There is besides a law making silver
dollars good tender for all dues, public
and private, except in cases where a
contract calls for something else. The
Sherman silver treasury notes are by
law receivable for customs dues. The
law requiring all forms Of money to be
kept at par with gold would be violated
BY refusing to receive anything but gold
for tariff taxes. 1t is therefore imprac-
ticable, without producing the evils we
are trying to avoid to require tariff
taxes to be paid in gold only. The presi-
dent has shown how gold reserve may
be made unnecessarily calling in the
Qreenbacks and Sherman notes and re-
placing them with bank notes. No better
plan is forthcoming. Baltimore san.

A pat" Illustration.

An Oklahoma correspondent Of the
sound currency committee Of the Reform
club says that because Of short crops and
low prices for two or three years the peo-
pie there were grasping at the silver
"straw, " but that with plentiful rains,
fair forage crops this season, good stand
of wheat on the ground, they look for
substantial betterment next crop and are
less inclined to take for it anything but
money having the highest purchasing
power" He says: They are like the
Irishman going to join the church and
did not know what one to join. He said
everybody admitted the Catholics might
20 to heaven, but not every one admit
ted that a Protestant could. Sohe would
take his chances with the Catholics.
Now, everybody admits gold coin Will
be good in any event, but as part Of the
people have their doubts about silver
they, to be on the safe side, when they
have something to sell and ship, want
the kind Of money about which there
hangs no doubt. "

Danger Signals Flying.

The war scare has undeniably had a
bad effect upon the iron trade, which
even before the president S message was
struggling through critical period,
with some indications Of a successful is
sue therefrom. The worst feature Of the
furry is that it has distinctly aggrayat-
ed the financial situation. Whatever
palliatives may be applied, there seems
little hope that the root Of the evil will
be touched. Until that is done we must
look for hesitation and distrust and a
dragging trade. For the great majority
Of large undertakings capital must be
borrowed. Whether fnanciers be right
or wrong, our industries must deal with
the cold fact that new issues Of securi-
ties will be slow Of sale SO long as our
currency is in its present muddled con-
dition. Few will venture out Of the
harbor with the danger signals flying.

In an appeal for patriotic action in
congress on the financial question the
Baltimore Sun rays that currency re-
form ought not to be the warcry Of any
one party. As it is the pressing need. so
it should be the urgent demand Of the
people Of both parties. It is simply a
question Of how the business Of the
country, its buying and selling, the ex-
change CT it's commodities at home and
abroad, can be carried ON with the least
friction and the least loss. 1t is the ques-
ton Of giving stability at home and
abroad to that medium in which the
wages Of labor are paid, debts are liqui-
dated and the rewards Of industry and
enterprise are measured. "

"They are not a safe currency under the

Alleged Fall of Prices.

1t is said that the single gold standard
has produced a disastrous fall in the
prices Of commodities Prices Of COM
modities must be either advancing or
declining or stationary. The world has
no experience Of stationary prices and
probably never will have Therefore
those who cry out against declining
prices must be in favor Of advancing
ones, but how far they would push the
advance they do not say. Is there any
limit to the desirable advance? II so,
what is to be done when it is reacheds
AS prices cannot be stationary. there
must, then, be a decline. So We do not
avoid misery by gratifying the bimetal'
lists. We only postpone it.-Horacs
