The Hon. Joshua lowering who has
bsen nominated for President by the
Prohibitionists, is a native of Baltimore,
and belongs to family we'll known in
that city for their philanthropic and
charitable work. He was originally an
independent Democrat, but joined the
Prohibition party in 1884. He was chair
man of the state Prohibition convention
of 1887, and again in 1898. and also a
delegate to the national convention of
1885, Mr.. lowering became member of
the Baptist church in 1871, and in 1881
was chosen superintendent of one of the
largest Sunday schools of that denomina-
ttcn in Baltimore, which position he still
holds. He has been identified with the
general UNCONVENTIONAL interests of both
the northern and southern branches of
the Baptisu church. He was one Of the
originators Of the American Baptist Edu-
cational society in 1881, and has been its
treasurer since its organization. He has
also been vice president, for a number of
years. of the American Baptist Publica-
ton Society. He has also held the posi-
ton of vice president of the other Baptist
convention, and is now acting chairman
of the board of trustees of the Southern
Baptist Theological seminary, located in
Louisville, KY. The Prohibitionists seem
to have made very fortunate selection
in Mr.. lowering.

have begun TO diverge on this question
and kept divergiug until now it appe ars
almost certain that when they are in bat
tie array in six wesks from this time
they will be, SO far at least as the party
organizations arc concerned, en-
opposite sides of this question. There
can be no serious doubt that the Re
publicans at st. Louis next month will
take their stand upon the gold standard,
and while it is not quite SO certain that
the Democrats will espouse free silver,
that is certainly the outlook now and it
is the opinion of the best informed
Democrats, even of those who are advo-
Gates of the gold standard. With the
Democrats On one side of the currency
question and the Republicans on the
other the fight will inevitably be over the
currency and not over the tariff. The
latter may figure incidentally, but the
main Issue will be silver or gold stand

1t is somewhat unfortunate in view
of what seams likely to come, that the
canvass for the nomination was made so
largely on the question of protection and
so little on the question of sound money.
A man may be the logical candidate of
one issue and NOT the logical candidate Of
the other. McKinley's name was 80
closely identified with protective tariff
measure, that it was but natural perhaps
that the people should turn to him when
the subject of protection was uppermost
in their minds, albeit the other candidates
were all as good protectionists as lie and
some of them had done even more for the
success of the cause than he ever did.
But while perhaps the logical candidate
of protection, or as much the logical
cal candidate of gold standard cam
paign. he has not always been tho adj
vocate of the gold standard. he once at
least voted for the free coinage of silver,
and though he has now changed his view
and would not probably vote that way
again, he is Tot the ideal candidate on
that issue. MIR. Reed, Gov. Morton or
even Senator Allison, would be more
appropriate candidate on the currency.
Either one of these gentlemen would be
better embodiment of gold platform
than Gov. Mckinley.

CURRENCY NOT THE TARIFF.

While it was the question of protection,
and the closs association of Mr.. Mckin-
1ey's name with high protection meas
ure, that was chiefly instrumental in
securing to the Ohio candidate his long
lead over his competitors, it is altogether
probable that it is the question of the
currency on which the campaign will be
fought and upon which the Republican
candidate must win. In the last month
there has been notable decline of inter-
est in the tariff in the public mind and
q corresponding increase of interest in
tho question of the currency. 1t the can
yass were to be repeated very much less
would be heard about apostles of proteo-
ticn and very much more about apostles
OF gold and silver. This does not mean
that there has beon any abatement OF the
desire for the restoration of a protective
tariff, the interest in this subject has
suffered a decline because it is seen
that it will take care of itself. There is
no division on the subject in the Repub-
lican parry, aud such opposition as comes
froa& the HeInocratic party is seen to be
purely peffunotory and heartless. But

We present this morning to our readers
Mr. Olmsted's report upon the best
method of improving Back Cove and
converting it into water park with broad
bouleyards surrounding it. He proposes
to enclose SO much of the Cove as is use-
less for commercial purposes with dyke,
thus permanently retaining the water.
This will effectively suppress the noisome
exhalations that now come from that
locality and will convert the cove into a
beautiful water park. The construction
OF boulevards is of course many years
ahsad, but Mr.. Olmsted thinks the land
for them should be Immediately Sc
cured. In addition to Mr.. Olmsted's re-
port we present a letter from Mr.. Ed
ward G. Jordan, giving MIR. Olmsted's
plan hearty approval
