TIE CURRENCY COMMISSION.

The decision Of President Mckinley and
his cabinet TO recommend to congress i'm
mediate provision for a currency COM
mission is in keeping with the adj
illustrations policy Of carrying out as
exPeditiously as possible the declarations
Of the st. Louis platform.
This decision will be very gratifying to
the public generally. Ever since the idea
of a currency commission was suggested
its practical application. it's non-partisan
character, its timely presentation and It's
reasonable possibilities nave appealed to
the sensible. business people OF the coun-
try with much force. Such a commission
was heartily recommended by the Indian
apolIs monetary conference, a n~on-psrti-
san body, called together for a general
discussion of the country's financial sys-
TEN.
President Mckinley has been strongly IN
favor Of a currency commission. His
faith in its efficacy and his estimate Of its
importance are vouched for by the fact
that he regards it as second only TO the
tariff as a subject Of legislation.
With the tariff bill disposed Of, and with
the currency question referred to com-
mission composed of men of business ex-
Derience, financial skill and differing poll
tics. the extra session will have done great
things for the restoration OF safe methods
and prosperous times.

THE TARsNEY ACT IN EFFECT.

No one can question the value of the re-
fern aimed at in the Tarsney act of 1898
TO regulate the construction of federal
buildings. The act is about to be put
in effect by the secretary of the treasury.
the first building under its regulations to
be that at Norfolk, Va.
The law makes IT possible for the gov
nmen to secure competitive designs for
its public buildings. Such opportunity in
sures a high grade of competition. for the
compensation is very liberal, and it also
overcomes the traditional and objection
able sameness in architecture of federal
structures in this country. Furthermore,
it eXpedites the work of making drafts
and plans. Under the old system the
government architect has frequently been
obliged to delay for months. sometimes for
merely for lack OF time to execute them.
While it is desirable to make the com
persation sufficient to attract the very
best architects, the one fault of the
Tarsney law, in the estimation of the gem
eral public. is its unnecessary liberal re-
mUneration. The architect whose plans
for a 100000 building are accepted Will re-
ceive fir his designs and for his services
as supervising architect the sum of s25. OOO.
and II the building costs 81, 900, 900 his COM
persation will be S42.5 800.
While IT is manifestly advantageous to
ave as supervising architect the same
craftsman who has designed the building.
Il would seem possible to secure eminently
satisfactory skill at a smaller outlay.
1t is to be hoped that the time will
como when another needed reform will
be made in the public building construc-
~tion-when the entire appropriation will
be made at one time and when the con-
tract will be let 10 the lowest and best
bidder, with a time clause in the specif-
cations and a penalty clause In the con-
tract to compel completion within the
specified time. The proverbial slowness
Of public building construction I'm the
United States is a national joke. but it is
A serious one.

THE PROBLEM OF CHEAP LIGHTING.

If dependence is 10 be placed upon a DEM
onsiration recently given in public by Mr..
d. McFarlan Moore, a New Jersey in
ventor, the world Is about TO enter upon
an era of cheap lighting by means OF cleo
tricity. Competent authorities estimate that
in the best forms of lighting at present in
use. less than l per cent OF the energy is
consumed in actual illumination. To save
4 portion of the wasted 80 per cent has
been the problem to which the efforts OF all
the great investigators have been directed.
and Mr.. Moore appears to have solved it.
About a year ago Mr.. Moore displayed his
invention before an electric exposition held
in New York city. but it was then crude.
and offered nothing better than the prob
ability that he was on the right track.
Since then he has been developing his ap-
paratus until now the formal announce
ment is made that it is ready for practical
use. This apparatus is not at all intricate
or costly. 1t consists mostly of vacuum
glass tubes. "A little rotator takes the
electric current" says a recent writer in
giving a scientific explanation of the sys-
TEN. 'as it comes from the ordinary in
candescent or arc light circuit. and breaks
It into pulsations which reach the fire.
qucnCy of 5000 a minute. When this cur
rent is conducted to the vacuum tube. it sets
in rapid vibration the inclosed molecules
OF ether and rarefied air. producing a clear.
white light which possesses every charac-
~teIistic of sunlight. In the recent exhibit a
room ten feet by twenty-five was illumi-
mated by fourteen of these vacuum tubes,
each seven and a half feet long and two
and a half inches in diameter. The tubes
were arranged about the room at the line
usually occupied by the picture molding.
When the current was turned on the room
was flooded with pure. white light. casting
no shadows, and strong enough for easy
reGding at any point of the interior"
The most important feature IF the exhi-
bition. however. rested in the fact that the
entire seven tubes consumed only about
half as much electricity as would have been
required to run one ordinary incandescent
light. Mr.. Moore stated to mis- guests that
under his system a w~orkingman's four
room cottage can be given almost daylight
brilliancy at a cost of not more than a cent
a night. If these claims are trus-and they |
seem to be accredited by leading electri-
practical solution Of the cheap
problem is certainly at hand.

sALIsBURY,s INITIATION.

The inability OF the powers to secure n
satisfactory settlement OF the Graeco-Turk-
fish question, owing TO the radical demands
OF the sultan. is only what might have
been expected under the circumstances.
Turkey is not In the habit OF making equit-
able adjustments of her international ohli-
cations. save under compulslon. In the
present instance the fact that Greece had
the moral support Of the powers served only
10 put Turkey on terms of arbitration. and
It has been with the greatest difficulty that
the MOslems have been deferred from con-
tiuuing hostilitics pending the outcome OF
the peace conference. Indeed. there have
been several outbreaks, in defiance Of the
laws Of arms. that. under ordinary circum-
stances. would have called for the most
pointed Tebuke from the Intervening pow
ers. But the circumstances are not ordi-
nary-they are quite extraordinary. The in
terest Of the mediators is commercial rather
than patriotic-mercenary rather than hu-
manc.
While ~consenting TO treat. after a signin-
cant movement on the part Of Russia, the
sultan has taken advantage Of the attitude
OF the European nations toward his gov
eminent and toward one another. He has
reasoned that peace is so necessary to
them that they will permit him to dictate
its terms rather than forfeit its results.
The intlmation OF Lord Salisbury that
Great Britain Is ready TO demand what has
hitherto been recommended is the first in
stance Of coercive utterance since the dec
l~aration OF the armistice. In this intima-
tlon Turkey is clearly regarded as an Of
fender, a character the powers have been
slow 10 recognize. but which humanity has
unhes!tatingly accepted.

iSs was significant. II HIS intimation as 10

FROM the Macon CGa.) Telegraph.
Despite the assurances Of Senator Stew
art, Of Nevada. that Mr.. Bryan will be
elected president in 1900, he cannot be pos
sibly. Not only would he lose the Populist
vote, but IL he should stand on a platform
embracing those declarations given out by
the Chicago convention OF last year he
would also lose the support OF the hun
dreds Of thousands who voted for him last
year on the score of party regularity. It
is hardly conceivable that the Democratic
party would repeat the mistakes Of last
year and make no provisions to hold the
sound money element, but Mr.. Bryan is
doing his best TO widen the breach and to
put himself at the head Of a straightout
silver party having only the one issue.
The Democratic party will go 10 disaster
surely If IL does not reject the 16 to 1 doc
trine. 1t is not a vote getter. The Re
publican party will win just so long as
the people are forced to choose between
it and a party of reputation. The days.
however. are bringing new issues which
should claim Democratic attention and
which ought TO enkindle the old Demo-
cratic fire. but so long as this free silver
fCo!ishness is kept in the foreground 1t
viii never be able to reclaim the ground
lost IN 1886. Organism is the "oId man Of
the sea" around the neck of the Democ-
racy and until It is cast on the party may
not hope 10 return 10 power. The country
to-day regards the question of the money

subject. Should the attempt be mad the
party responsible therefor will be smashed
everlastingly.

A BALLADE OF ROSES.

When Venus saw Ascanius sleep
On sweet Cythera's snow white roses,
His face. like Adon's. made her weep.
And long to kiss him where he dozes;
But, fearing to disturb the boy.
She kissed the pallid blooms instead,
Which bluShed and kept their blush for Joy
When Venus kisses white roses red.
Straight of these roses she did reap
Sufficient store of pleasant posies,
And coming from Cythera's steep.
Where every fragrant flower that
grows is.
She tossed them for the winds TO toy
And frollic with till they were dead.
Heaven taught the earth a fair employ
When Venus kissed white roses red.
For each red rose the symbol deep
In its sad. happy heart encloses.
OF kisses making loves heart leap.
And every summer wine that blows is
y prayer that ladies be not coy
OF kisses ere brief life be sped.
There cleaned more gold in earth's alloy
When Venus kissed white roses red
EnvoL.
All lovers true since windy Troy
Planned for a woman's golden head.
You gained surcease from life's annoy
When Venus kissed white roses red.
