A CURRENCY COMMISSION.

The news comes from WASHINGTON
that the president is strongly minded
TO send a special message to congress
recommending the appointment of a
currency commission, but that some of
his most intimate friends have tried to
dissuade him from doing so at the pres
ent time The reason they do this is
that they do not believe the time pro-
pitious: that while a bill might be
gotten through the house, there is no
certainty as to what the senate would
do.
They advise him wisely. To recon-
mend the appointment of a currency
commission at this time is to open up
the whole financial question, practically
to fight the campaign Of last year over
again. The president should not as
sumo that because the tariff bill went
through the house and senate so
smoothly, that a currency commission
bill would do the same thing. Were
such a bill introduced at this time, he
would be surprised to see how deep and
clear are the lines of demarkation be-
tween the silver and the gold men,
deeper than he has realized since he
entered the White House
Then, again, 1t would be extremely
i'll advised to attempt to deal with the
currency question until the result OF the
mission of the bimetallic commissioners
how in Europe is known. If they bring
back favorable reports, such reports as
will convince the silver men that some
thing actually looking to the restora-
ton of silver will be done, or such an
enlarged use of it agreed upon as to
give an impetus to the silver mining in
dustry and so increase the volume of
money as to materially relieve present |
distress, then the president may ask for |!
the appointment of a currency commits
sion with good prospect of having his
request granted; but not otherwise. 1t |
would also be a great blunder to ask |
congress TO take upon itself additional 1
work during the extra session. Decem-
Der is not very far off; let the country |
have chance to see what the new I
tariff legislation will accomplish before I
other great legislative tasks are under
taken.

TALES OF THE DAY.
"Iike a Beast

Youths Companions: The following
story of the late Doctor Kidd of Aber-
deem and his beadle is told in the ''Humor
of the Scot" The kirk officer it would
appear. was a victim TO the national vice.
He had often been censured as often for
given. and yet again would fall into his
old ways.
One day the worthy doctor was con-
fronted by Jeems, so intoxicated that all
his customary caution and sleek humility
had flown. In a reckless mood he chal-
lenged the burly old doctor to come and
drink with him. Recognizing the futflity
of trying TO reason with a man in such a
state, Doctor Kidd replied:
''Oh ay. Jeems. I'll come wi We. an
I'll drink AXE beast TO please ye.''
'Hooray." said the besdle. Come
alongi"
So they entered the inn. this strangely
assorted couple. the mark of observation
to many a curious eye. Jeems started to
order a 'mutchkin." but the reverend
doctor filed a glass with cold water and
quaffed that.
'Hoots," expostulated the bacchanalian
beadle. ''Ye said We wad drink like a
beast, doctor"
"Ay, Jeems. an so I have" was the
dgnihed reply; for We know a beast is
wiser than a man. an drinks only what

HE SHEDS HIS SKIN.
John II. Price, Montana Nine Own
er, Is a Phenomenon.


Chicago physicians who have twice
attended John H. Price. a miner Of Phil
lipsburg, Mont, during his marvlous
annual experience of shedding his en-
tire skin, are watching with interest
for developments in the case this year.
They have been notified that the suf-
ferer from this phenomenon, which oc-
ours regularly July "a, has gone to a
Butte institution, where the prelim-
mary symptoms are being observed by
scientists and medical men,
Among the surgical specimens in st.
Elizabeth's hospital. this city, is Mr.
Prices skin of last year, which was re-
moved in sections, put together and
stuffed For the two weeks in which
he was enduring the sickness peculiar
to reptiles and birds in shedding or
moulting time, he was under the OBJ
servation of Drs. ]. Frank, Macarthur,
Beran and others, who saw him grad
ually part with his cuticle and nails
and appear in skin as white as that
of a baby In 1890 he underwent in the
same institution the same experience,
and in the past SO years at various
places he has annually exchanged his
old skin for a bran new one.
The medical men were at sea for an
explanation. They recorded that the
victim of natures freak was in splen-
did health, that his blood was pure and
his discarded and new skins were like
those of other persons. A history OF
the case was written by DR.. j. Frank
of II Lincoln avenue. who merely mar
rated the symptoms, details and nlinu-
tiae observed by him. He gave the pa
tents age as 40 years and said he COM
menced shedding his skin when he was
s years old. The process has varied in
length every year.
DIR. FRANKS VIEWS.
From a scientific standpoint it is
most interesting said DR.. Frank yes
terday 1T furnishes a link of testi-
mony in Darwin's theory of evolution;
no other explanation is plausible. In
the medical records of 1000 years the
case has no parallel. 1t is approached
in only two instances, one of a Georgia
man and the other of a Nebraska
woman. who are reported to have shed
their skins five or six times.
Price becomes i'll every year with
unfailing regularity about 8 o'clock in

his scalp TO the soles of his feet, usu-

longer. The finger nails become loose
gradually and are not removed until
the skin is entirely off. The toe nails
are the last to be removed.
When Price was a boy the shedding
process was more rapid than now. 1t

after the first sickness and was COM

THE Syracuse clergyman who made
a violent attack in his pulpit upon Mr.
Mckinley because wine is served at the
White House table, is pretty certain
to be sharply rebuked by the self-re-
specting members of his own congre-
cation. Whether mis- utterance was in
spired by blind bigotry. or by desire
to win notoriety for himself, it is diff
cult to say, but. in any event it de-
serves to be condemned as a glaring
violation of the decencies of civilized
life. The president of the United States
forfeits none of his rights as an Ameri-
can citizen when he enters the chief
magistracy. The executive mansion is
his home during his tenure of office, and
the arrangements of his household are
nobody's business" says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. The president
forfeits no rights by entering the White
House, but so soon as he does there are
many good but narrow minded people
who think it is their special preroga-
tive to dictate to him how he shall
conduct himself in all things. They
have the right 10 ask that he conduct
himself as a gentleman, but nothing
more
