The Houston (Texas) Post puts
it down pretty plain, in replying to
a complaint that the Republican
party is not complying with its
pledge to reform the currency system,
when it says: "The pledge that the
Republican party is keeping is the
one made to millionaire manufactur
ers, pools and syndicates, who con-
tributed to the 'slush' fund of the
recent campaign. This was serious
pledge. The combinations must be
allowed to get even first. Hence a
high, robber-raiding protective
tariff"

he shook Consul General Lee. The

charged Lee with connection with a
conspiracy to irritate Spain and
prompt serious trouble. AS a result
Lee demanded Immediate, and full

reluctantly given.

EVIDENTLY, King George is just

head that wears 8 crown" The fact
that warship has been placed at
the disposal of the royal family and
the further fact. stated in yesterdays
kilograms, that every precaution is
being used to prevent outbreaks in
Athens, indicate that the Greeks do
not cherish supreme loyalty for their

The Atlanta Journal prints pic
ture of Mr.. Washington Duke, whom
it styles "the father of the American
Tobacco Company, the Gigantic
Trust" The journal Is mistaken.
The father of the trust is Mr.. Wash

therefore it would be nearer the mark
to refer to the old gentleman as the
grandfather of the trust.

NEXT Monday is the appointed
time for the opening of the case of
the State of New York VS.. The Ameri-
can Tobacco Co. The Indictment is
for viola ton of the law which makes
it misdemeanor for two or more
persons to conspire to commit an
act Injurious to trade or commerce.
The New York journal says the
Lochport coal dealers were indicted
and convicted under the same sec
ton of the Code as is now invoked
against the Tobacco Trust. That
may be, but it will be surprising if a
conviction is secured against the rich
and powerful Tobacco Trust. It
usually finds hole big enough to
crawl out of such difficulties

SENATOR ALDRICH, the Republican
leader of the tariff debate, says the
purpose OF the present bill is to raise
revenue. Does this mean a departure
from the Republican hobby of pro-

past experience that a high tariff
tends to reduce revenue is likely to
be exemplified.

THE gold standard New York Sun
takes a prophetic glance into the
future and reads the handwriting on
the WALL 1t remarks that the efici
ency of the new tariff in restoring
prosperity is conjectural, but if the
measure succeeds, it says, "the dom
ination of the party now in power,
and the maintenance of the gold
standard are assured for another
presidential term; If it fails Demo-
cratic victory in 1900 is possible,
and with it the overthrow of the
gold standard and the substitution
in its place of that of silver at the
ratio of 16 to L." The Sun might
have used the word "probable," or
certain" for the word possible, %
and have thus read the signs of the
times more correctly. High taxes for
the benefit of the trusts and for the
further impoverishment of the people
will not bring prosperity. Free
coinage at the ratio of 16 to l is
coming, and in this there is hope for
the country.

The Indications are that there
may not be smooth sailing among
the Powers in adjusting terms of
peace between Greece and Turkey.
The hint given in yesterdays tele-
grams in reference to the attitude of
England is suggestive of friction and
the further fact that each nation
composing what is termed the
Powers is likely to give it's own inter-
ests more consideration than those
of either Greece or Turkey, also indi
Gates that there will be more or less
difficulty in reaching conclusions,
and it is even possible that compiled
lions of serious nature, involving
blood in the eye, may arise. So
that, although there is now cessa-
ton of hostilities between the two
recently warning nations, it cannot
be said that peace will permanently
WELD the sceptre in the East.

II am not greatly disappointed at the

held in Tammany hall because of their
refusal TO acquiesce in all of the dec
larations of the Chicago convention. I
find it quite easy to be philosophical
over the situation.
The action of the committee and Of
the convention is to be regarded as a
disapproval of my refusal to believe in
the free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer and gold at the ratio of 16 to
without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation. But il will not
change my opinion in that respect. In
my judgment the time is not far dis

That will be a matter for the Demo-

ANOTHER HOTEL SUICIDE.
This Time In Chicago. Where a Young
Girl Poisons Herself

Chicago, Sept. IA handsome young
woman whose name is unknown killed
herself yesterday in the Victoria hotel,
where she was guest. The suicide was
evidently carried out with the utmost
deliberation, as the young woman had
apparently slept in the bed during the
night, taken bath in the morning,
made up the bed and then, swallowing
morphine lay down to die
At 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon she
entered the hotel and informed the clerk
that she was on a long journey and
wished to remain in Chicago for a day
for the purpose of resting. She paid for
her room in advance, as she had no
baggage, and registered as Miss Blanche
Wilson. New York city. She requested
that II she failed TO rise early in the
morning she be allowed to sleep. as she
was very tired. She was shown to her
room, and that was the last seen OF her
alive. After repeated knockings had
failed to arouse her the room was forced,
and she was found dead on the bed.
She was clad only in 3 nightrobe. A
vial which had contained morphine was
on the bed, and upon a chair was her
clothing folded neatly. The dress and
linen were of expensive materials. Seal
ed in an envelope, which bore no ad-
dress. a note was found on the table.
1t read
"To Whoever You May Be:
please do not try to find out who
! am. l ask and beg of you, whoever you
may be, and remem ar il is my last fa-
vor I ask on earth as a dying woman,
and for my mothers sake do not try.
do not care what yod do with my body.
Remember don't try for my mothers
sake"
There was no signature to the note. II
was penned in a small, feminine hand,
and the formation OF the letters indicat-
ed that the hand which held the pen
was trembling. The bed had evident
| ly been made up hurriedly after being
slept in, and the woman had taken a
bath and dressed her hair carefully be-
fore taking the poison. on her finger
was plain gold band, and on the inside
was engraved "A. NJ. e" In a bundle
