The First Currency Question.
Philadelphia Press.l

Philadelphia Press.
There is much discussion just now of a
currency commission to consider the
question of reforming the currency. Though
it has broken out at the present time as if
it were new or undetermined matter it is
not new at all. President Mckinley in his
Inaugural address distinctly pointed to such
commission as one of the early measures
of his administration.
It is well understood that when the tariff
legislation shall be farther advanced the
President will ask Congress to act on this
recommendation. His plan is mixed CON-
mission composed of Senators and men,
bers designated by their own bodies and
and of representative men outside of Con-
gress to be appointed by the President 1t
is eminently desirable that such q CON-
mission shall be created at this extra ses-
sion of Congress. In that event it can
make its report at the beginning ofthe next
regular session and Congress will then have
some tangible proposition before it for
action.
We do not derogate from the utility and
value of such measure. The currency
with its many elements is far from perfect
A reform which shall simplify it, make it
more elastic and renderit more responsive
to the wants of business and of different
sections, will certainly improve it. But
admitting all this, there has been too much
effort to create the impression that such
reform is an immediate and vital necessity
and that without it the pledge of honest
money given last year remains unfulflled.
This claim is unfounded and the insstence
on it has done harm, as it diffuses the
idea that the basis for restored confidence
can not be established until the currency
has been overhauled.
The first essential and vital need of the
currency is that there shall be no possible
doubt about the standard. The absolute
assurance of the gold standard is
immeasurably more important than the
reorganization of the different elements of
the currency. Let it be certain that, what
ever the different forms, they shall all be
measured by the one standard and all real
doubt will be dissipated Now that point
was settled by the election. 1t cannot be
unsettled during this Administration. 1t
is not all of the currency question, but it is
the first and commanding point, and the
enormous gain of this assurance ought not
to be clouded by croaking on other points.

A GREAT POLITICAL BATTLE.

The political horizon may not now indi-
cate it, but if we are not greatly mistaken
in our forecasting of events great battle
will take place in Virginia this fall in the
political field. There will evidently be a
combination of the Bryan Democrats and
the Populists, whose purpose, it seems,
will be to make the doctrines of the Chi
caso platform the issues upon which the
fight for State officers shall be contested.
Those Democrats in the State who refused
last year to endorse the Chicago platform
and its nominees will either have to take
the nauseating dose in the approaching

The breaking down of old party lines in
the Senate on the question of protection to
American labor and industries, following
closely the action of several Southern
States in voting the Republican ticket in a
national election, is by far the most
interesting andsigni6cent political develop

all sections of the country and all parties
are at last coming to the openly expressed
opinion that the Republican policy is the
one best adapted and most beneficial to
thus country.

An American Discovery.


The present year will always be a nota-
Bile one in the history of the 18th century
for the many wonderful discoveries it re-
cords Every branch of science has made
great strides, the most remarkable, per
haps,. have been made in the practice of
medicine. Now comes the information
that John Morrow an eminent chemist of
Springfield, o.. has discovered a remedy
that promises to be almost infallible in
curing all diseases of the kidneys. So
many of the most important advances of
medical science are made by foreign sci
entistS that such report is not only of
great import but highly gratifying as we'll
MOrrow'S discovery, while the true in
gradients have not yet been published is in.
the form of yellow tablet and is known
to the medical world as MOrrow's Kidne-
Oids. This remarkable remedy has been
tried in some of the most severe cases of
chronic and acute diseases of the Kidneys.
and in each case has quickly produced the
most beneficial results.
The fact that death from Bright's dis
ease shows daily increase is an unpleas-
ant indication that disorder of the kidneys
is fast becoming an atfliction of the human
race, and any remedy that promises sure
relief is indeed blessing to mankind.
The symptoms of deranged kidneys are
too apparent to require a physicians di-
agnosis pain in the side and back. aching
bones, a continual feeling of languor. are
followed by impaired vision, loss of appe-
tite. swelling of the hands and feet. and
so on until BrigAt's disease gets hold.
1t is so insidiOus in its attack that the
busy man or woman often associates the
symptoms with some trifling ailment. I'M
til the development of the disease causes
a complete collapse. With Morrow s Kid
neoids it is intended to remedy all this by
enabling anyone to stop the progress of
the disease and effect a permanent cure
without resource to a physician or the
of their duties.
1t is said that one of the largest drug
in the United States is negoti-
ating for the absolute control of Morrow's.
which they intend placing in
every drug store, where it can be procur-
ed by any one without the necessity of
securing physicians prescription.

Guns For BattIeshIps.

1t appears that the tendency in the
British and the United States navies is
to reduce the number of guns and to in
crease their arcs of fire and also TO have
no guns above inch caliber for sup
porting the 10 or IL inch. This method
of decreasing the number and caliber Of
guns is an ideal theory for reducing
weights. but ships are built to carry
guns and to fight, and it would seem
better to reduce weights elsewhere than
in the battery and ammunition.
In an engagement between battleships
of similar armor and displacement
which one will probably be the victor?
There can be but one answer. 1t will be
the one that effectively delivers the
greatest amount of steel against the 9TH
er ship. During the engagement each
ship will necessarily lose the use Of nu-
merous guns and men, and therefore the
ship that carries the larger number Of
guns and that has reserve force of men
below in protected places for filling the
vacancies at the remaining guns will
certainly have the advantage, and some
obscure guns that are generally looked
upon with disfayor on account of their
small arcs of fire may at the critical
moment when their companions of larger
arcs are dismounted, become the means
Of insuring victory. Lieutenant f. w.

Meals In France.

The French are very temperate in
food and drink, cup Of coffee with n
piece of bread being considered quite
sufficient until noon, when the dejeuner
q la fourchette is served. This consists
of a first course of eggs or macaroni, a
second Of one chop each or stew, and a
third Of fruit and cheese Plenty of
bread always good in France) is eaten
during the meal, but butter rarely, and
glass or two Of wine diluted with wa
ter, but never iced or sweetened, is
drunk by each member of the family,
including the children. Dinner, usually
at o'clock, is little more elaborate
meal, from which soup and a salad are
seldom omitted, and black coffee is
often served with cognac at the end.
Owing to the fact that so much chicory
is used French coffee is not much to the
taste of Anglo-Saxons. have never yet
had what call cup of "good" coffee
In France, whereas in Vienna and Mu-
mich it is simply delicious Coffee be-
ing very dear in France $50 cents per
pound for good quality may account
for the excessive use of chicory. What
