DISCUSSES HIS METHOD.
sTARTLING PROPosITIoN.

Representative Walker (Rep., MasS),
chairman of the committee on bank
ing and currency. said, as to the finan-
cial features of the message: I fear
the message is not sufficiently specific
and does not go far enough to relieve
the situation. It does not recommend
that anything shall be done until The
revenues exceed the expenditures of
the government. which may be many
months in the future, and is far from
immediate action. Secondly, the rec
OmmendatiOn that gTeenbackS be not
paid cut except for gold when once re-
deemed in gold. if enacted into law,
would enable one man with $1,000. eco
of sreenbacks demanding gold of the
treasury and by depOsitinG the gold in
the bank for greenbaci1S and, repeating
the process 246 times. to retire the
whole S346 600, COO in the time it would
take him to Oscillate between the sub
treasury in New fork and his c0nfed-
crate foreign brokers. TIE recommend
alton that banks be required to redeem
their notes in gold. with no other pro-
visions of law, would cause every bank
in the country TO surrender it's circU-
lation, ana what other agency would
keep the country on gold basis?'
SOUNDS APOLOGETIC.
Representative Bland Dem. MOI,
the recognized free silver Democratic
leader, said:
The presidents proposition to retire
the greenbacks by holding them in the
treasury, except for gold deposits,
means a contraction OF the currency to
the amount of the greenbaeks so i'm
pounded His statement OF the situa-
ton as to international bimetallism VIII
not be accepted in earnest by anybody.
There are few serious international BIZ
metallists. but among them / suppose
the president may be classed as one
The message on all subjects sounds
apologize, and like an affidavit for
continuance"
Representative Cox Dem. TENN, the
ranking Democratic member of the
committee on banking and currency:
1.-THE message in regard to the cur
rency, in my judgment. is an utter
failure. If the policy advocated was
carried out into law, it could only re-
suit in the contraction of the cur
rency."

MEXICAN OPINION.
Clericals Favor McKin1ey's Position
Masses Want Belligerency.


City of Mexico, Dec. 6.-Mexican pub
lie opinion regarding President McKin-
ley's utterances on the Cubag question
is that they viii greatly strengthen the
Sagasta government and enable it to
win friends in Spain for its reform pol
icy in the island. The clerical party
naturally regards the attitude Of the
president as wise and prudent. but the
masses, who favor Cuba. would have
liked to see belligerency accorded the
insurgents, as such q course would
have led eventually TO similar action
in Latin America. Resident Cubans are
opposed to autonomy in Cuba, and as
seTt that the fight will go or, and that
the autOnomists in the island are q
feeble minority. They utterly distrust
the promises of Spain.
The Mexican Herald says it was for
tunate FOR the American colonies in the
revolt against Great Britain that the
French king did not take the same
view Of their beIIigerency as does the
president of the United States to the
Cuban patriots cause.

the despairing view concerning our
currency which the president presents.
While there are some improvements
which I should like to see made. L
think we shall be able to get along if
we do not get any currency legislation
and, as the situation presents itself
now it looks as if it might be impracti-
cable TO secure legislation on the lines
of the presidents recommendations.
The recommendations in regard to Gu
ba are humane and considerate.
IMPRACTICABLE VIEWS.
Senator Smith (Dem.)-Whne some
of the presidents recommendations
with regard to the currency may be
well enough, it must be evident to him
that at the present time they are i'm
possible of enactment. His reference
to bonds is painfully suggestive of the
inadequacy of the present tariff law,
and while his policy in regard to Cuba
seems more moderate. l hardly think
it is in line with the special order OF
the Republican policy.
Senator Allen (POp.)-I do not care to
enter upon a criticism of the presi-
dents utterance, but will say that
fail to agree with him on his three
principal suggestions of policy.
SENATOR TELLER PLAIN.
Senator Teller (silver Rep.)-I do not
believe that any legislation viii be
enacted authorizing the retention of
the greenback in the treasury until
somebody is willing to pay gold for
them. The radical advocates of the
gold standard will not be willing to
accept this suggestion, nor viii the sill
yer men. so far as 1 am informed,
favor this disposition of the financial
question. 1t may be that the admin
istratiOn will be willing to go on furth-
er to meet the demands of the So
called currency TefoTmeTs, but, judging
from the utteranceS of the secretary of
the treasury, he viii be willing to make
further concessions. 1 do not believe
that the suggestion for the tying up of
the green5acks Will meet the approval
of the people, as such a course would
inevitably result in great contraction
of the currency. Indeed. it looks to me
as if the suggestions of the president
would not be satisfactory to any great
number of people of any party. The
president is certainly mistaken when he
says that the government is obliged to
redeem its obligations in gold. 1t has
been the policy of the administration
to so redeem, but there is no compul-
sion on this point.
DISCUSSES HIS METHOD.
Senator Pettigrew (Silver The
president proposes to retire the green
backs and in doing SO he tries to dis
guise the method by which it is to be
| accomplished. 1t is plain that if the
presidents plan is adopted, no more
greenbacks can be in circulation than

Jack Reeves, the chief clerk in the
Oregon Short Line freight office,
doesn't work all the time. There are
moments when his stenographer can
not keep letters gong to him fast
enough to sign, and once in a while
during these moments he is let alone
long enough to greet chance friend
in an affable manner. Yesterday was
one of those rare occasions, and Jack
took occasion to tell a story.
1t appears that a young man With
sporting proclivities was attached to
the legation at the Persian court, and
While there took time to teach several
of the Persian princes the great Amer
lean game of poker. He got along well,
too. ana soon had his coterie in such
condition that he didn't have to write
home for money.
But the Persians did quite well, too,
and developed an aptitude for the game
astonishing in the extreme.
The young man didn't speak Per
sian, but played with the assistance 41 OF
an interpreter, who told him what the
other fellows said, and repeated his
conversations with them.
One day the youth sat behind pair
of trays, and the prince opposite, after
looking at his hand, said, "Pallola-
III just give this fellow little
CUFF, " thought the young man, and so
he replied:
"Paloolala."
"PailolaIala," replied the Persian, ex-
citedly.
.Paioolalalalatee," responded the
American.
alaIalanumtee," l m t
shrieked the prince.
Observation-Disclosures calm
ly responded the Yankee.
To his infinite establishment the
prince grew red in the face, then pale,
and finally fell seuseless to the floor,
and had to be carried out.
Then the American ourned to the in
terpreter and asked: What in blazes
is the matter with the prince; apo
plexy?"
Alas, excenency," replied the slave.
81 fear you have killed him.
KILLED him, how" angrily asked the
young man.
You have made poor man of him, y
replied the slave. docs your eXcellency
know what you have done?"
Nav, come off. What have done =
Your excellency has raised the
prince eleven millions, and he couldn

And in the laugh which followed
