TIE MONETARY AGITATION.

According to one of the committee which Is
labOrlng at Washington for the creation or
monetary commission, it is making much prog
ress with Congressmen. 1t certainly has much
progress TO make Up to date there is no IN
dcation that any considerable number, either
OF Senators or of Representatives, feel anxious
to be relieved from the opportunity OF prepar-
ing and advocating such monetary plan as
NAV best suit the interests of their constitu-
ents. Nor are many anxious to have the meas
ures they prefer showed into the background by
making the report and bill which may come
from an outside commission the pivot on which
all action shall turn. Moreover, there is not
much prospect that a bill for the creation of
commission can be passed until the House has
organized committees, and the explanation OF
Sneaker Reed, when attacked by Simpson, Of
Kansas, for deferrng the appointment of COM
mittees. made it plain that he does not think It
advisable to perform that duty until the regular
session begins. The overwhelming applause
with which his remarks were received indicates
that the members Of the House are not anxious
TO enter upon the labors of general legislation
with hot weather in Washington near at hand.
We're any commission TO be appointed at this
short session it would find itself exceedingly
enbarras sed, not TO say handcuffed and fettered,
by being called upon TO devise new currency
system before it has been ascertained how tho
new revenue law will work and what results
IL will produce. Few men fail 10 realize that the
character Of changes desirable in the currency
must depend largely upon the state Of the reve-
nue.. the balance of foreign trade, and the con-
diton Of domestic industries under the coming
tariff. To frame plans for twenty-story struct-
| ure without any information about the char
acter of the foundation would not be considered
| eminently wise. Men competent to propose
| changes in the currency system will also be
found intelligent enough to realize that some ex-
perence under the new revenue law Is abso-
luely necessary as a foundation for any plans
worth framing.
1t has been frequently observed by financial
writers. of all shades Of political opinion. that
the complete revolution In monetary relations
between this and other countries, and between
the Treasury and the outside markets. since a
reversal Of the Governments policy became GER
tain has been one Of the most remarkable signs
Of the times. Until extreme prostratlon Of In
dustries came last summer the country was
losing gold and the Treasury was being drained

ments during the time Of prOstration brought
much gold hither but more came every month
after II became clear that the Governments pol

Bryanism, and since the election more tI.an five
months have passed without any financial alarm
whatever. The country has been gaining In

WOMEN As SCHOOL MANAGERS.

interesting to note that the Westfied. " d.,

agement Of the schools. And there are not want
ing other facts to indicate a growing desire
among the friends Of New-Icrsey's public schools
to have the cooperation Of educated women
who manifest vital interest in the education OF
the young.
If the Constitution should be amended as sug-
gesed The next logical step would be the cleo.
toh of women as School Commissioners. This
experiment has been tried successfully else
where-notably in Scotland, where the public
schools are second to none in the world. The
argument used in the Land o Cakes in favor
of putting women, and especially retired teach
ers, in charge Of the schools was that there
were many things in connection with the man
agement, particularly as II related to female
teachers and pupils that could be better attend

better results. In many instances the predic-
tons made were justified to the letter. Children

MOBILES OF MECCA TEMPLE AT THE CIRCUS

II the circus had been out on the road last night
II is TO be feared that the tent would have been
trihe uncomfortable. But In the Garden the rain
and the moist. chilly air made no difference. and
all was as merry as If the sun Of July-or the
moon, according to the hour-had been shining
down upon the show. Little red fezes were con-
spicuous all over the Garden. There were 3loo or
them il was said and they covered the heads of as
many members of Mecca Temple. Nooies OF ,ns

with the Barnum 4 Bailey show belong TO the or

Established incidents of the annual engagement.
The crowd would have been big one. even with

there was room for another person. The pubic
confidence in the circus seems now 10 be FUZZY es-
