leading editorial deals with the letter
of the governor of the Bank of Eng
land to the chancellor of the eXehequer
and says: a more absurd and mis-
chieyous letter has seldom been penned
( by man in position of high RESPONSE
bility. 1t may be assumed that the
| question was put as one means of rid
ding the government of the Emporium
Ity of the Mckinley administration, for
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach is neither
/ bimetalllst nor a man of weak charac-
ter. TO such a request, whatever it's
motive, there can be but one straight
forward, manly answer. namely: That
as the bank has promised to pay all
its notes in gold it could not admit
silver into its reserves. Instead of CIV
ing such an answer and thus seDarat-
/ ing the bank finally from pernicious
agitation, the governor without the
( knowledge Of his colleagues wrote the
chancellor of the exchequer that the
/ bank was prepared to hold one-fifth of
the bullion held against its note issue
| in silver, provided that the French
minis were reopened to the free coin
age of silver, and that the prices at
Which silver is procurable and saleable
should be at any given time satisfac-
| tory. 1t is no excuse to say that the
governors letter involves no practical
DANGER TO OUR CURRENCY.
''F'or the mass of our people are IN
| able to distinguish between the shades
| Of theory and opinion on the currency
| question. Multitudes will think the
| bank is converted to bimetallism and
| the devotees of that transcendant cult
| Will not be slow to boast another VIC
| tory. The Indignation against the ae-
ton of the governor is largely mixed
! With derision. What makes his blum
| der even more fatuous is the utter in
! adequacy of the proposal, even if it
could be adopted. Why on earth should
| we help the United States out of their
| currency dilemmas at the expense of
our own credit? Have they ever shown
the least desire to help US in anything?
Do not their politicians fi0unt us and
place endless objections in the way of
our trade, as if the two countries were
at bitter enmity? From all points of
view the action of the governor of the
/ bank is a grfev0us mistake, without
/ either excuse or palliatiOn- India is
cited in support of the policy, but India
has, the remedy for monetary scarcity
in her own hands. Let her oper her
minis and her strained money markets
VIII find immediate relief. 1t would be
interesting to have the reply sent to
the governor by the chancellor of the
texehequer, and better still to have the
whole correspondence In the light Of
yesterdays statement at the semi
annual meeting the episode looks as if
there might be something behind it,"

VERY ROUGHLY HANDLED.
Agitators of the Anarchist Stamp
Not Allowed TO Sneak.

Chicago, Sept. IS. Two men supposed to
be the emissarie5 of some anaronistic So
ciety, denounced the government, branded
the Poles of Chicago as cringing towards
ard as a climax tore a small American
flag to shreds at Black Hawk and Noble
streets last night. The result was a
small sized riot during which the sup
posed anarchists were badly beaten. Had
not the horse attached TO the light wagon
from which they were speaking, became
frightened by the angry shouts of about
hundred Poles and ran away, the two
men would have probably been killed out
right. AS 1t was a crowd of Infatuated
men chased the runaway for several
blocks, throwing stones and sticks az the
half unconscious and blood covered men
who crouched in the bottom of the
wagon, terrified AID suffering from many
wounds. the CT csc was lively while it
asted, but the horse soon got away from
its Du~suers and carried the supposed
anarchists 20 safety.

SENATOR woLcoTT's VIEWS.
More Confident Now Of International
Action

Washington. Sept. 16.-First Assist
ant Postmaster General Heath has re-
!ceived letter from Senator WoIcott.
in which the senator, who is at the
head of the International monetary
commission. speaks very encouragingly
OF the outlook for securing an inter-
national understanding in behalf Of
silver. He refers TO the decline in sill
yer which, he says, is being used every
where in opposition to the efforts of the
commission, but expresses the opinion
that notwithstanding this severe in
fluence, an international agreement will
be secured. Senator Woleott states
that he will be in London by the first
of October, and that he Will reach
Washington before the converting OF
congress in December.

The unfavOrable reception the an

A Smooth Scheme For Disposing Of
Worthless Stock

Butte, Mont, Sept 16-B. c. W. Evans,
connected with the Fegen-Bush gang of
swindlers of Chicago and Denver. was
arrested this evening ca charge of
using the United States mails for fraudu-

one offered pae stock to Wood and re-
ferred 10 Evans as TO the value of the
stock. Evans wrote to Wood that his
