The Republican papers who insist
that our currency system does not
need reformation have forgotten the
following declaration in President
McKinley's inaugural address: ''The
several forms Of our paper money
offer, in my judgment, constant
embarrassment to the government
and to safe balance in the Treasu-
ry. Therefore, ! believe it necessa-
nv to devise system which, without
diminishing the circulating medium
or offering premium for its con-
traction, will present remedy for
these arrangements, which Temporal
ry in their nature, might well in the
years of our prosperity have been
by wiser provisions.
Here is an admission that, apart
from the question of revenue, we
have financial condition that offers
a constant embarrassment to safe
balance in the treasury. Evidently
the embarrassment comes from the
presentation of paper money for re-
demption in gold-a process that has
been renewed within a week owing
to the demand for gold for export.
1t is somewhat encouraging to
know that President Mckinley rec
ognizes the trouble caused by what
Mr.. Cleveland called the endless
chain.

Wall street, according to the New
York correspondent Of Republican
contemporary, is confidently looking
forward to another issue of gold
bonds. The beginning of the out
flow of gold is said to be regarded
as an assault upon the free gold Of
the country which threatens to de-
plete the supply.
In view of the fact that the yicto-
ry of the gold standard and the res
toration of confidence were held up
as the safeguards against the deple-
ton of the treasury and in view of
the fact that the surplus in the gold
reserve is now over $50, 000, 900 above
the safety mark, this furry would
seem strange, were it not that i'm
bedded in the middle of the scare
news is the statement that the only
thing to save the country from a
bond sale is the rapid passage of the
Dingley bill.
This intimation that the tariff
bill will check the outflow Of gold,
allay the rising panic and circum-
vent the schemes OF the bond Shy

A Serious Wreck On the Baltimore &
Ohio, at BuckhOrn Wall.

The most serious freight wreck
the Baltimore d Ohio has had for
years occurred at Buckhorn Wall
early Friday morning. Fifteen cars
pere piled up in heap, and two or
three thrown down the embankment
into the river. The train was east
bound fast freight number sixteen
hundred and thirty eight, and most
of the cars contained valuable
freight. The train ran away down
the grade and was past control of
the brakes. The train gained veloc.
ity every moment, and went down
the mountain at fearful rate. As
she was nearing the stone quarries
the engineer and all the crew jump
ed for their lives. The engine col
lided with the gravel train, which
was standing on the main track. A
fagman tried to stop the freight, to
order it into siding until the gray
Ell train could pass, but of course the
orders could not be obeyed, for the
freight was beyond control of the
engineer.
Sam Montgomery, a brakeman,
had his arm mashed and another
man received injuries Every car
was total wreck, and also thous-
ands of dollars worth of valuable
cargo, such as dry goods, eggs and
grain. All were mixed in miscel-
laneous heap,

In an interview with "Gath," Sem
ator Steve Elkins, of West Virginia,
is reported as saying that coal miners
"wages must come down. The rail-
roads get cent for hauling ton Of
coal five miles, for 100 miles 20 cents,
less than coal shovelers get for put
ting ton of coal into your chute
from the cart Wages in America
stand against any revival of business. .
This from the great champion of pro-
tective taxes as guarantee Of high
wages throws a flood Of light on the
wage question. How do you West
Virginia miners like it? We believe
they are worse off than the Pennsyl-
vania miners, whose luxurious mode
of life, fair treatment and booming
wages have just been uncovered by a
legislative investigation. But the
talk Of reducing the wages of coal
miners and coal shovelers just as the
tariff on coal is about to be nearly
doubled is something we cannot un-
derstand. Will Elkins explain?-

Holt Not Yet in Possession Of the Plum

The Republicans are after the
scalp of Stephen w. Poe, postmaster
at Grafton. He has incurred the
ill will of Dayton and the pursuit
was very energetic one. After a
sharp struggle Poe was fired and
Holt appointed but halt has been
called. 1t looks now as if some in
teresting explanations were in order.
The many friends of Mr.. Poe hope
he may be able to prove the allega-
tions of Senator Faulkner. A tele-
gram from Washington explains the
matter. 1t is as follows: Senator
Faulkner will tomorrow introduce
a resolution in the Senate calling on
the Postmaster General for all doc
uments bearing on the case of Mr..
Stephen w. Poe, late postmaster at
Grafton, who was removed to make
room for Mr.. Holt, Republican. The
Senator believes the documents will
show that the charges on which Mr..
Poe was removed were disproved by
the affidavits furnished to the post
Office inspector, thus making it clear
that the real and only reason for the
removal was to make place for a
Republican. In any event, it will
be some time before Mr.. H olt begins

1t is a rather remarkable example
of the persistence Of an old idea that
a decision of the Supreme Court, sus-
tanning the sale of cigarettes from
boxes, as in the original packages, is
reported as one that will "effectually
nullify the license and local option
liquor laws of the state" 1t might
have that effect, though not so posi-
lively as the previous decision of the
United States Supreme Court, but for
one fact. That is that after the for
mer decision congress passed an act
which subjects the liquor traffic of any
state to whatever regulation or prohi-
bition the legislation of that state
may enact. Under the acts as fully
worded at the time Of the original rul-
ing, decision on the sale of cigar
cites in original packages cannot af-
feet the license or legal option laws of
a state Id the slightest degree, simply
because those state laws, whether IL
censes, local option, OF absolute prohi-
bitlon, are by act Of congress made
the national regulation for the inter-
state commerce In original packages OF
liquor with that state.

Bond Pleasantries.

The practice of giving bonds seems
to be merely matter of form. We
have drifted into the habit of asking
the ofliceholder to secure the auto
graphs of few OF his friends TO a
piece of paper, which to the uninitia-
ted seems a protentious document
When the fullness of time has arrived,
and it becomes necessary TO sue ON
the bond, 1t Is found that the signers
have either died insolvent or are just
managing to keep out of the poor
house.
When man is elected To Office it is
playfully assumed that he is honest;
still, to conform to the law, he gives
a bond. Thomas, Richard and Henry
kindly and willingly make marks
thereon which would give an agoniz-
ing pain to writing master, but
which in the commercial world are
supposed to bring security and a feel
ing OF perfect trust.
The term of Office slips away. In
the meantime the trusted officer has
kept everything that came into his
hands as tenaciously as Horatius kept
the bridge. He seems to labor under
the happy delNsion that every piece Of
public money and every article of pub
lie property that comes within his
reach was willed to him by a maiden
aunt, and that he has title TO it
which no uncouth policeman can take
away. In the calm, easy tone OF voice
commonly used in conversing about
the weather he then asks: "What are
you going to do about it?" Promptly
comes the reply from million out
ragged threats: ssWe will sue on your
bond" Then it is that the officehold-
er let's fall ripping, boyish laugh,
for he has keen appreciation of a
joke. The outraged citizens do not
appreciate the humor of the situation,
for the joke is Invariably on them;
but, nevertheless, they go on from
year to year accepting through their
chosen officers the same kind of bond
with faith that would remove noun
tains were 1t applied in that direc-
ton.
Why not compel public officers to
give bonds furnished as matter of
business by surety companies or else
make these obligations first liens on
real estate owned by responsible sign
ers? The joke Of giving rotten bonds
has been carried too far.
