MONETARY COMMISSION.
Reply of the Spokane Spokesman r

Reply of the Spokane Spokesman Re
view (Silver Rep. to an Inquiry.
DAYTON, Dec. 23.--To the editor of
the Spokesman-R Review. In Con
gresham Lewis recent address at
Spokane, he arraigns the administra-
tion tor the appointment Of the "cur-
rency commission" which seems to
be distinct from the WOlcott commits
sion What does he mean by the
"currency commission?" Did the
president appOint such commission?
Who we're appointed, and what the
scope or latitude of their duties?
Kindly answer through the columns
of your paper and greatly oblige a
number OF persons here.
Yours very truly,
CHAS. II. O'NEIL.
Reference was probably made to the
bodywbich Senator Chandler OF New
Hampshire has designated "self-
constituted monetary conference" J"
This is "commission" resulting
from the indianapolis monetary con-
vention, a gathering of delegates
chosen by the banking and money
lending interests Of the country. At
that convention not one delegate was
present as the representative of the
producing and wage earning elements
o, the nation. 1t delegated power t
an executive committee to name a
commission to be entrusted with the
important work of drafting tinan-
cial bill to be recommended to con-
gress and the administration.
CiAfter the convention had adjourned
the chairman OF the executive COM
mittee announced the following per-
sons as members of this commission;
Ex-senator Edmupds Of Vermont;
StuyneSant Fish, New York; q,
Stuart Patterson. Philadelphia; T. G.
Bush, louisiana; j. W. Fries, Caro-
lima: w. b. Dean, Minnesota; George
E. Leighton, Nissouri; j. f. Laugh
lin, Chicago; and Louis A. Garnett,
of San Francisco.
This commission met for Vhe first
time September %, and elected Ex-
Senator Edmunds chairman. Since
then it has held frequent sessions,
and its work has been substantially
along the lines of bill presented by
Secretary Gage to congress, In fact
1t was instructed by the Indianapo-
lis convention to prepare bill look
ing to the adoption of the gold stand
ard and the retirement of the green
backs.
The statement has been made re.
peatedly, aud meyer contradlcted,
that every member of the commission
is a believer in the single gold stand
ard. 1t was selected, and is working,
upon the impudent and unpatriotic
assumption that the people and con-
gress are incapable Of attending to
monetary legislation. 1t assumes
superior fitness and knowledge for
this work, and is undertaking to advise
congress and the administration. The
administration IS disposed to follow
its guidance, but there is little danger
that congress will subject itself TO
such control.

Are the Present Silver People or the
Former Silver People Sincere?
IEditorial by r. j. Hendricks in the
Salem Statesman
II is quite likely that the forces
which will line up against the Repuo-
llcans for the June election of next
year will do so under the banner OF
free silver coinage.
In the light OF an enlightened pub
lie opinion, aroused by the national
campaign of 1896, and vf the events
that have transpred since that time,
this would seem foolish--if the M en-
proposing TO make up the issues for
the opposition were sincere in their
advocacy of that doctrine.
But they are not.
Most intelligent men know the free
coinage of silver at the ratio OF 10 TO
with gold, is dead issue and, in
the present condition and tendency
of the markets of the world, an ut.
terly foolish one. Most Of the lead
ing Populists, Democrats and Free
Silver Republicans" we verify be-
lieye, recognize these facts. But they
think free silver coinage is good
enough to get Offices with; and Sc
they are well satisfied to ride that
hobby into place and power, or to
trust themselves thereby TO the
chances of defeat. They have every
thing TO gain and little or nothing
to lose.
The danger TO Oregon ia this il
that our state may be classed under
the head OF the free silver common
wealths, thus verifying The state
ments ia tue speeches Of such men az
Senator Wolcott, who array section
against section on this issue-a'
though the west was all for dis
honest dollar and the east was all 70
honest money.
We are therefore sorry to look fol-
ward 10 this campaign OF insincer
lty-when men will band together
as 10 were, on platform that denies
the theory OF COpernicus and asserts
that the earth IS fiat and that th'
sun revolves around it-for purpose
foreign TO any scheme OF demonstrat'
ing such absurditieS; but simply Il
get> offices. But, nevertheless, ou
statewould, If these men succeeded
be held up TO scorn Of the civilized
world as subscribing TO such tom
foolery.
Let us combine to avert such al
unfortunate humiliation.
We doubt If the editor above quotel
is sincere in protesting to belief tina
all who oppose the gold standard ar
inslncere. Certainly the men VIII
left PARTY and old political associ
atlons to vote for Bryan and Watso
and free coinage are entitled TO b

PURE AMI
Tho Stand OF tho w. c. r. q. Against the
Regulation OF Vice.

TORONTO. Oct. 26.-The convention Of
the Woman's Christian Temperance I'm
ion Of the World was brought to q
close with q rousing platform meeting this
evening. The United States delegates were
largely in the majority and they stood together
in their opposition to Lady Henry Somerset
and insisted that the Worlds Union should
take no uncertain stand on the question Of
morality. They would not listen to any COM
promise. There was to be no code Of manners
for India that could not obtain in the United
States. They passed q resolution, affirming
their opposition to any system OF license or
regulation Of the social evil and protesting
against the voluntary or compulsory medical
examination OF either men or women while
this Is done in the interest Of impure relations.
1t was resolved to call public attention to the
fact that the desire and purpose of women. IS
a class, to retain their personal independence
and purity of life Is evinced by the hardships
they endure to earn their bread honorably when
the temptation meets them at every turn to SO.
cure 1t without labor at the cost of personal
purity. Pure womanhood is a gift to the
future mothers of the race without which the
race could not survive, and, in the great battle
of the world, not enough emphasis has been put
upon Its sacred significance and its meal
culable value to the development OF mankind.
while recognizing this we pledge ourselves
to tendcrest sympathy with and active work
for those of our sisters who have lost the price

more sinned against than SHINING"

ODD Sequel OF the Odd Disappearance or John
Smith Rice.
John Smith Rice. a broker, disappeared on
May 4 last. He was in good health and took
S., 900 with him. Search was made for him. de-
scriptions being mt to most European and
other cities accompanied by an offer Of a reward.
He had a large fortune and 1t was thought that
he had been foully dealt with for his money.
Nothing was heard OF him until about o month
ago. when he returned to his wife, but he has
refused to say where he was or why he went
His wife, Elsie f. Rice. had mourned him as
dead and had also been appointed Administrative
of his estate. Before getting charge of the
estate she had to borrow $il2.74 from her
brother.in-law, c. Murray Rice. and her s~ister-in-
law, Charlotte Rice Lowry, for her maintenance
band. These sums have not been repaid, and as
her appointment as ADMINISTRATIVE was revoked
as soon as her husband reappeared, there was
no way of satisfying the claims from the estate
unless Rice would pay them.
These creditors moved before Surrogate Fitz-
gerald yesterday to set aside tho order revolving
the letters CT administration to tho wife, so that
they may he able to collect from her. as the ad-
ministratrix Of her husband, tho money duo
them from his estate. The Surrogate scratched
his head over the novel position. To set aside
the order il would require that letters OF admin
istration remain in force on tho estate OF q live
man.
Counsel for Rice said that the proceeding was
willing to pay the bills IL proper vouchers wero
presented. Counsel contended that the only
legal claim the two creditors have 10 against
Mrs. Rice personally. Decision was reserved.
