THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
A Suggestion as to How 1t Might Be
Treated.
BOSTON aHeraldN lTnd. DEM

Boston HERALD" lind. Dem.l
We do not doubt that the President
sincerely desires prompt action on the
currency custom, but we fear that he will
not be able to obtain it. The Republican
leaders feel that tariff legislation is at pres
ent of paramount Importance to their party
Naturally they are reluctant to assent to
any course that, to their
thinking, will endanger or at any rate,
seriously delay the passage of a tariff bill.
We cannot in fairness blame them for
taking this attitude, though we hardly
need say that if our wishes were consulted,
currency commissioner be appointed
before Congress adjourns. 1t seems to
us that on this issue reasonable compro-
mise might be reached. Let the tariff
have right of way till point is reached
where it's enactment is near probability.
Then let the proposal to establish a cur
rency commission have chance. The
temper of Congress can be pretty accurate
ly measured by parliamentary experts,
and if, after The currency bill is introduced.
there is a good fighting chance Of carrying
it through the Senate, let it be pushed
with all possible vigor.
In this way the session may see both
measures disposed of, to the great relief OF
the business community.

The Democratic State central COM
mittee met at Murphy's Hotel, at Rich
mond on the night of the goth inst, and
selected Roanoke as the place and the
18th of August as the time for holding
the State Democratic Convention.
A hard fight is now going on between
]. Hoge Tyler and j. Taylor Ellyson for the
nomination for Governor. Both of these
rival candidates favor an endorsement OF
the Chicago platform and their friends will
control the convention.
The gold Democrats will, therefore, be

For long time the Sultan of Turkey
has been looked upon as indolent and
weak in mind. He, Or some one who has
influenced him, has shown considerable
diplomatic capacity in the conduct Of
affairs preceding the war with Greece, as
well as during the continuance ofhostilities.
Now thatan armistice has been agreed upon
the Sultan is showing great shrewdness in

IfProtection is anevil because its duties
on all imported goods are paid by us,
while, at the same time, all our home
products are increased in price to us to
the amount of these duties, why any tariff
at all? If protective duties operate in this
way, do not duties for revenue only
operate in the same way? If not why not?
They are precisely Of the same nature, and
are laid and collected in the same way.
All, but we are obliged to have Federal
revenue, you say; but you also say that
Protective duties inure only to the adj
vantage of the manufacturers and producers
and rob consumers; and if that be true Of
Protective duties, it is equally true OF
revenue duties. You cannot escape a
conclusion SO evident. Hence, ifyour own

THURSDAY, MAY %, 1897.
A DIseRAeED LEADER.

During the campaign last year one ofthe
most serious objections we urged to Bryan
and Organism was its intimate associations
and relations with Altgeld and socialism.
1t will be remembered that in the Chicago
convention Altgeld, the socialist, figured
as one of the most conspicuous leaders.
We remember that on one occasion, at a
reception, Jno. w. Daniel stood between
Altgeld and Tillman, and after reading an
account of it we exclaimed, chow the
mighty have fallen' 1t was with NORTH
cation we learned of the position Daniel
was forced to occupy in that assembly, a
conspicuous figure flanked by Altgeld and
Tllman. By bargain made between the
National Democratic Committee and the
Populists in the Western States in 1892,
John P. Altgeld was made governor of H.
inois and became means of doing great
injury to that State and accomplishing the
ruin Of the Democratic party in 1896. The
Populistic and Socialistic planks in the
Chicago platform were placed there under
his Amusement and by his demands. He
was made the candidate of the fusion party
for reelection as governor of Illinois. For
tunately for that State and the future vel
fare of the country his defeat was secured
and great State escaped further disgrace
at his hands.
Astonishing revelations have recently
been made connecting Ex-Governor Alt
geld with swindlers and public defaulters,
fully establishing the fact that he used his
power and influence as governor to place
men in positions of trust who were dishon-
est, that he might become beneficiary Of
their crimes.
When the Globe Savings Bank failed q
short time ago and $500, 900 or $500, 1000 of
bonds of the University of Illinois were
discovered to have been misappropriated
and that the entire savings of hundreds of
people had been stolen, it was found that
the president of that bank had received
the appointment of treasurer of the Uni
versity of Illinois at tie instance of Altgeld,
and that he had, in payment Of the favor,
been loaned large amounts from the bAuk
on worthless Or insufficient collateral, lie
Gently the banking house of Z. S. Nreyer
& Co. BECAME insolvent, and it was asep-r-
tanned that S3l8, 900 of park funds had dis
appeared that had been placed in the
hands Of the head of the DrcSer firm as
treasurer Of the West Park Eomrnission of
Chicago. Dreyer had secured tie anpo;nt-
ment of treasurer os the park commission
through the influence Of Altgeld, aad in
return for the. favor had loaned Alteeld
100000. He had another friend and ac-
complete in the person Tie CASH err of the
Bank OF Illinois, A-..other defa alter was
appointed che grain inspector in Chicago
" arg ID. 1t is asserted that the dis
" lest transactions of Altgeld and his ac-
completes cost the State of Illinois S2'OOO'-
900.
So we find one of the most conspicuous
leaders of the Chicago convention. and the
candidate of the Democratic-Populist COM
bination for governor of Illinois, the friend
and accomplice Of thieves and default

Harry had friends and supporters but they were in the min- ority. The first quarter heat was won by McLain, time 3 secoHds,a and the crowd proceeded to go wild. It seemed, however, that Tipton had only reserved bis strength for the final heats, both of which he won in 36 and B seconds respectively. The race was for purse of $50 and the State championship. Tipton's many friends htre had placed con siderable money on the race, aad they were not disappointed.

ATLANTA, Ga, July 22.-Oscar Williams, the negro who committed the assault on the daughter Of a Henry county farmer last week, and was transferred to Che Macon jail Tor safe-keeping, was taken from the Central railroad train, on which he was being brought to Atlanta, at Griffin thissmorning and hanged 10 a tree.
 His body was then riddled with bullets. The members of the mob made no attempt at disgusting themselves, and their names are known in Griffin. Several men were heard to declare that if they had Mayor Hugely, of Gainesville, who saved Williams from being lYnched when first captured, by calling out the malitia, they would hang him by the nigger's side.

WILL OPPOSE ANNEXATION
Count 0kuna Says That Japan Will Use Every Effort to Prevent It
 He Gives Two Reasons.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, July 21.-Coupt Okuna, Foreign Minister of Japan, says regarding the annexation of Hawaii to the United States
 The Foreign Oficeis not surprised at the proposed annexation. We simply protested against it.
 The importance of the islands will be immensely increased by the con struetion of the Nicaraguan or Pan- anna canals, and it is absolutely nee essary, therefore to leave the country independent In voyaging to tbe Far East, steamers starting from Europe or America, must call at Hawaii. 10 have them iaeoper- ated into the Union would seriously involve international interests in tie Pacific Ocean.
 Another reason is this Annex ation would impalr the rights, priv ileges which Japan is enjoying in Hawaii. The protest was, there fore, entered on these grounds. Leaving aside the attitude of the other Powers, the question is, what will Japan do it under any circum stances the annexation is carried into practice in spite of the protest of Japan?
 Japan must oppose it to the ut- most. Annexation must not be recognized.

 The fire would have been attended by the loss Of a life had it not been for the coolness and bravery of MT. Ghas. Mitchell. One Of Mr. Rig gins children was asleep in a burn ing room and Mr. Mitchell broke open D window and rushed into the flames and rescued the little child
