The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-01-28

The fact that Maj. Mckinley is consid-
ering the ACCESSIBILITY of offering Lyman
]. Gage the position of Secretary Of the
Treasury is a very good indication that
he is looking for a financier for that posi-
ton rather than for a politician. Mr..
Cages reputation as a fnancier is not
confined to Chicago nor to the west. It
is known in all parts of the country.
Mr. Gage is at the head Of one Of the
largest banks in Chicago and so highly
are his services valued that he is paid
S25, 600 a year. There may be men in Wall
street who are shrewder in investing
money so as to get big return from it,
but it is doubtful if there are any in the
country whose views of great financial
problems command so much respect He
is not a man who merely makes himself
acquainted with the securities offered in
the various markets of the country so as
to know how to grade them in the bust
ness in which he is engaged. He makes a
study of monetary questions, and is rec
ognized as an authority in regard to them.
Some doubt has been expressed as to
whether he is a republican, He is not a
republican party, but when he thinks an
other party offers a better ticket and
platform he does not hesitate to vote in
accordance with his judgment. In 1884 he
voted for Mr. Cleveland, and he does not
hesitate to say why he did so. Last fall,
however, he voted for Mr.. Mckinley.
lie is of course a sound money man. He
believes that free silver coinage would
result in a great financial disaster, and
he is capable of giving convincing reasons
for his belief He does not agree with
his party that high protection would be
a good thing for the country. A moder-
ate protective tariff he favors, and that
probably is the kind of a tariff the repub-
leans will adopt. They are afraid that If
they should enact a high protective tariff
law they would not be permitted to re-
tain control of the government very long.
1t is not known whether or not Mr..
Gage would give up his present position
to accept the Office of Secretary of Treas
ury which pays only $1,000 a year, but If
that place should be offered to him, and
he should accept it, the chances are that
we would have reform of our currency
system long before the end of Mr.. McKin-
leys administration.

Buckner Meets RusbnelI

Gen. Simon Bolivar .Buckner of Ken
lucky, the Vice Presidential candidate on
the national democratic ticket in the last
election, and Gov. Bushnell of Ohio met
in the rotunda of the Fifth Avenue hotel
last night, says the New York Times.
After expressing mutual pleasure at the
meeting, they launched into politics.
well, governor said Gen. Buckner,
1--WE saved you in the election"
Perhaps you did," responded the gov
ernor of Ohio.
If it had not been for US you would
have gone to the wall" continued Gen.
Buckner.
Perhaps you are right" replied the gov
ernor.
And, governor" said Gen. Buckner in
a semi-confidential semi-prophetic tone,
IF your people don't get together and set
tie this money question, the popocrats will
be solidly against you again in 1907
"Oh," returned Gov. Bushnell, Il think
the President-elect and congress will soon
get together and settle. that question to
the satisfaction of everybody"
Il hope they will do So" said Gen. Buck
ner, but if they don't, there will be trou-

As the Kentucky general turned away
from the governor of Ohio. he said: Il be-
lieve Gov. Bushnell has troubles of his

Lucien II. Foote. in the Wave.
A white rose doomed in a garden close,
On a trlstful autumn day.
Sad was the heart of the fair white rose,
As the summer slipped away.
She had been wooed by the singing bird.
The bee, and the butterfly;
But never a chord of her heart was
stirred,
Till she heard the west wind sigh.
She leaned on the trollis, fair and sweet,
With the laughing leaves above,
AS he glided in with his nolseless feet
And whispered his tales Of love.
A rollicklng, restless rover he
The walt of the salt-sea brine,
And only white, white rose was she,
The last of her royal line.
He kissed the lips of the Rose in bloom,
And alas, a-lack-a-dayl
She was despoiled of her rare perfume,
For the wind will have its way.
