4 WORTHLESS ADMINISTRATION.

According to a Washington CORE
spondent. silver Republican Senator,
summing up the hopelessness of the
situation with regard to international
bimetallism. says that Senator Wolcott,
the President and the Presidents ad-
visors know that the mission Of the
BimetalHc Commission will be useless,
but adds: There is. however, some pur-
nose in the Presidents action. He will
use the appointment of the commits
sion TO offset any adverse criticism
within his own party regarding the
financial policy OF the government.
During the next eighteen months,
whenever anything is said about bimet-
auism in this country, the President can
Doint to his three commissioners, ap-
pointed for the purpose of changing
the present financial policy Of the
world"
News from Europe simply confirms
the farcical nature of the commission.
The English press is poking fun at the
President and the Continental press is
pointing out the hopeless nature OF the
attempt at this time, when the gold
cause has received fresh accessions, to
change the monetary policy OF the civ
iized world. When the Republican
party won a victory for the gold stand
ard it. for the time, strengthened the
gold cause and made an effort on its
part to make silver ridiculous. There is
a limit to political demagogy.
Senator Wolcott knows how hopeless
his task is and must have laid before
the President the information he gath
cred in Europe. The whole thing takes
on the character of a shabby trick
which. in view of the profound popular
desire for a satisfactory settlement OF
the monetary question, seems a polit-
ical crime. Another Mckinley bill and
a dodge on the money question are all
the people will get from the admin
istration. They have asked for bread
and received a stone.
