w. A. Hammond the vice-president
of the National Bank of Illinois. of
Chicago. that failed a week or so
ago, has committed suicide by drown
ing. 1t was to him more than to any
other official of the bank that the fail
ure was due. His business methods
were those of a dishonest Spectator
who was perfectly willing to deceive
the directors of his bank and defraud
its patrons and stockholders. His sui
eide will bring sorrow and mourning
to his own home. but the failure of the
bank, chiefly through his misdeeds,
brought ruin and suffering TO hundreds.
His act of drowning is the most merit
orious one he has performed for a long
while, and shows that he was not en-
tirely devoid of all feeling and re-
gard for the opinions OF his fellowmen.
1t shows that he felt some remorse and
that as he could make no reDaration
for the wrongs he had committed, he
determined TO destroy himself. His
tragic fate will draw forth sympathy
for his family. upon whom his disgrace
and death will fall heavily But it is
better that he be dead than alive to
anger by his very existence those
whom he SO grievously wronged. Dead,
they viii forgive him much; living,
they would eXecrate and curse him.
Now they will spread the mantle OF
charity over his bier.

alike, the ideas of the one are those of

DUBOIS AND WoLcoTT.


Senator Dubois is in Boise and on
New Years day talked with a Herald
reporter. The senator frankly stated
that he did not consider himself as be-
ing any longer in the Republican party,
saying that when he resigned his mem
bership Of the steering committee, that
finished his connection with the party.
4 do not class myself as a Republic
an" said ne, and do not see any pros
pect Of ever again being a member Of
the party, because cannot believe it
Will ever get right on the financial
issue"
From this il is very evident that he
does not regard the scheme for another
international monetary conference as
very promising, so far as accomplishing
anything for bimetallism is concerned.
He says he does not believe that it
will ever get right on the financial
issue By that he can only mean he
does not believe that it will ever be
for the free and Independent coinage
of silver. and that he does not believe
another international monetary confer
ence viii avail anything SO far as adj
vancing the cause of silver is con-
cerned. When the senator walked out
of the st. Louis convention it became
evident that he must sever all con-
nection with the Republican party IN
less he recanted. He has not, and he
is completely out of it.
Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, takes
an entirely different view of the silver
question from what Senator Dubois
does. He may be said to be very hope
full for the benefits to result to silver
from another international monetary
conference. He has sailed for Europe,
where he will be for a month or so.
While gone he expects to meet and
confer with European bimetallists. He
properly says that he is not prepared
to say what the result of his visit may
be, though naturally he is hopeful that
good may be accomplished. He goes
with the full knowledge and consent
mot improbably at the requesD of Ma
jor Mckinley, though not as the rep
resentative of the incoming admins
tration, which could not be at this
slime.
If after full investigation he finds
that there is no real European senti-
ment in favor of bimetallism, and this
can only be ascertained by consulta-
ton with the men who are actually
shaping the financial policy of the
leading powers, and not merely by con-
sultation with those who favor bimet-
allism, and so informs President Nc
kinley, viii the latter still pursue the
idea Of inviting the various nations TO
another monetary conference, or will he
abandon the idea of such a conference
and say to congress and the country
that there is no further hope for inter-
national bimetallism? The answer to
this question can only be given when
Senator Wolcott returns and President
Mckinley is in full possession of all the
facts.
Senator's Dubois and Wolcott repre-
sent the opposing views of all who IA
vor bimetallism in any form. The view
which Senator Dubois represents did
not triumph at the polls; the view
that Senator Wolcott represents should
be given fair chance, and every true
friend of silver will wish that victory
may crown the efforts of those who
now desire to put that view in prac-
tee

some of the English papers are be-
ginning TO accept Bismarck's estimate
of him as true. He said that Salisbury
was nothing but lath painted to look
like iron.
The foreign policy of the sea- girt isle
for the past year has been quite as
vigorous as possible. The day has
gone by when all the world outside of
Europe and the United States can be
regarded as the legitimate heritage of
England upon which no other nation
has any claim. The world may be
said to be colonized, and the territorial
expansion of any country in future
will only be accomplished through
war. Most of the nations of the earth
have come, so TO speak, to manhood s
estate. Very few of them can be
bullied any longer, and perhaps some
are rather over quick to resent any
slight, feeling that they must assert
themselves.
carry out a particularly vigorous
foreign policy at the close of the nine
teenth century is quite apt to bring
down upon itself the wrath of some
other nation equally powerful with it
self. vigorous foreign policy means
nothing less than jingoism. Self-asser-
ton and swags : are no more neces-
sary in a nation to command respect
and enforce rights than they are in a
man. a vigorous foreign policy is
tantamount to aggression, and that
means trespassing on some nations
rights. which leads to protest and re-
sentiment on it's part.
The criticism of the English press of
England's foreign policy during the
last year fails very largely to appre-
ciate changed conditions. Her foreign
policy will probably never again be
what it was in the good old DAYS.

ENGLAND's FOREIGN POLICY.

The English papers in their review
of the events of the past year criticise
the foreign policy of England they
consider it supine. The termination
of the Venezuelan controversy is looked
upon as being more of a humiliation
for England than anything else. The
termination of that controversy is GER
tainly q triumph for. the principle of
arbitration. The ST. James Gazette
asks why the Marquis of Salisbury
created an ''impasse from which we
could not escape without war or sur
render. We took the surrender"
There is a feeling of bitterness and
disgust in this question. The indigna-
ton at Salisbury proves that even

The San Francisco Chronicle says
that the suggestion of Colonel Henry
G. Shaw of Stockton that California
shall erect a citrus arch on one of
the principal avenues of Washington
for inaugural display is good as far
is it goes, but that a still better plan
would be to draw materials for the
arch from every industry of the state
which relies upon AIcKinleyism for four
years Of better times, thus combining
the protectionist idea with that of adj
vertising California and paying a COM
pliment to the president-elect. But it
would be well for the good people of
California not TO put too much reliance
upon McKinleyism. In their joy they
might meet with the same kind Of
nishap that the milkmaid did.
