The regular sesli-monthly meeting
OF the Ohio Valley Traces Assembly
was held yesterday afternoon. Presi-
cent Sims and Secretary Duffy were at
their desks with accustomed prompt
ness. The roll call showed a very fair
attendance Of delegates. The session
was very brief.
One important matter was discussed
at length, but it does not concern the
public, and although the debate was
very spirlUed, the delegates are under
Instructions TO keep it a secret.
A communication was received from
the expressmen and drivers, requesting
all delegates 10 report TO their locals

The real reason why the chief advo-
Gates of gold monometallism are so
anxious to establish their standard
they are very careful not to lay be-
fore the people.
For example, as a contemporary
points out, if they should frankly say
that they want gold to be made the
sole measure of value because gold is
constantly approaching, they would
put the people ON their guard and de-
feat the end for which they labor.
AS matter OF policy gold mono
metallists deny that gold has grown
more valuable during the last twenty
five years and has thus decreased the
value Of all property measured by that
metal as a purchasing medium

lasily be.credited. The detailed story
/ of the alleged knitting bears every evil
/ dence OF likelihood. it is eminensly in
/ keeping with the spirit already mani
tested by Mr.. Mckinley under the DOM
tnant guidance Of Hanra. and the state
ment that tbs story will. at some future
date, receive documentary proof Of its

ii stands now, the charge that India
was led to withdraw her consent to the

at one blow ali the work then accom-
plished by the Biinetal1ie Commission
owing to the direct urging of Ambas-
sador Hay, under instructions from
Washington, will prove bitter pill for
those Republicans who believed in Nc
Kinley's sincerity in seeking an inter-
national solution Of the money question.
So double-faced a policy as appoint
ing such commission and at the same
time taking every precaution to prevent
the commissions accomplishing any
definite results, cannot commend itself
to the people Of this country as reputa-
bic tactics or decent craftsmanship. 1t
humiliates the members of the Commits
sion, it lowers this country in the es-
timation of the foreign powers, and it
betrays willingness on the part of the
administration to bunco the public,
the knowledge of which will come as
something of a shock to the public.
It would have been wiser had the adj
ministration shown the courage of its
convictions and remained loyal to the
single standard. Honesty and pluck,
even in the advocacy of a bad cause, are
more to be commended than deceit and
yelled cowardice. If the story of the
knitting Of Republican Senator Walcott
and his associates on the Bimetallic
Commission is correct, Mr.. Mckinley
has been guilty of tactics savoring more
Of the confidence man than of the self
respecting leader of a great political
party.

Bramp, who claims to live in Philalel-

New York, Nov. H-Ina dispatch from
Washington printed in this mornings
"Sun," it is stated that though General
Gormez, the Cuban patriots have abso'
lutely rejected the Spanish oferF of auton-
omy for the island and that official infor-
nation to that effect has been received by
President Mckinley.
The notification came in the form of a
proclamation, which recitesi the struggles
af the Cuban people toI secure independ-
ence, makes reference to the blood that
has been spilled and the desolation
brought on the islanI, and says that under
no circumstances will the Cuban patriots
be satisfied to end the war until Spain has
abandoned their country.
So Important was the communication
considered that Assistant Secretary Day of
the State Department, who has charge of
matters relating to Cuba, took it to the
White House at once and discussed its
purport with the President.
General Gomez's proclamation came
through the regular mail, and no doubt
exists as to its genuineness. Whether it
was accompanied by any letter of trans
initial cannot be ascertained. State De-
partment officials said they knew nothing
about the document.

During the recent Parliamentary cam
paign in Newfoundland the editor of the

himself referred to in the st. Johns "Tel-
egram" as "a palsied brat" and "a nervous
paralytic." That the Almighty had in
fiicted him with certain infrmitives the
editor of the "Herald" wasready to admit,
but he Immediately saw to it that one
Murphy, who had been responsible for the
obnoxious article, received his due. 1t is
an interesting study of Newfoundland
politics to follow the charges of the indict-
ment thereupon preferred against Murphy.
One reads
That he is soaked with rum.
That he is always drunk when crisis
arises.
That he washes himself only twice 8
year.
That he is always placed in the ships
hold when travelling.
That the hotels decline to receive him
as a guest.
That his mere presence in city is
standing proof that the public health is
not properly attended to.
Yet Murphy was elected to the office fol
which he was candidate.
