Moreover, no reform is possible until IL

Is possible or impossible. That funda-
mental question must be settled, first OF
all. Nor Is there any suggestion of gen.
eral currency reform" which, as yet, CON-
mends itself to sound financial opinion as
satisfactory; none Of any kind has been
formulated. Even the Mugwump cure-all
swallowed so greedily by Secretary GAGE,
the suggestion Of retiring the greenbacks
and taking the Government out Of the
banking business" for the benefit Of the
banks, is now rejected even by those who
had been most credulous as to the quack
nostrum.
Neither that nor any other Of the indef-
nito propositions Of currency reform
would receive the favor OF Congress. Con-
gress does not want the advice Of q "non-
partisan commission" and it would not
take the advice. Nor, In fact, would the
opinions Of any ouch commission be
entitled to any moro weight than

the financial committees of Congress it.

1t is a preposterous suggestion, n Con-
gress will and should refuse to enter into

the currency is q question 1t can delegate
to no such commission. Moreover, the
scheme to stir up the agitation of currency
reform" by means of the proposed Message
would tend to introduce a mischievously dis
turbing element at a time when business is
showing many evidences of improvement,
and when the advance of the ~long-hoped

tampering with o matter which Is settling
itself SO happily.
Keep away from that danger, President
MoKINLBYi Let we'll enough alone. You
cannot provoke currency reform discus

currency quacks in the Union, with PROPOSE

A Show with n Lesson.

It is not surprising to learn that the
Nxtent and cost Of the recent parade Of
phips ut Spithead will probably induce the
British Admiralty to c~urtail, this year, the
annual naval manauvres, or to forego them
altogether.
Certainly a mobilization which brought
put 1875 vessels, ranging from the torpedo
boat to the Is, O00.ton battleship, and q
force of SO, 1000 trained officers and men. was
y sufficient test of the readiness Of the home
fleet. And not in number alone was the fleet
Impressive. The aggregate horse power on
130 Of the vessels. as one observer noted,
WAS nearly n million-in more exact figures,
b14,OO0, or an average of over 1000.
In fact, Joined with the primary purpose
pf a jubilee pageant was the very practical
Idea Of giving foreign observers q notion Of
che sea power of Great Britain. And yet
In furnishing forth this majestic parade,
not q single ship was brought from the
foreign stations, where there arc no fewer
than 1875 pennants. 1t was solely an ex-
hibit of what England has In her home
waters. In four days, as n naval au-
thority remarked, 100 of these vessels could
be ut Gibraltar; In nine days the Channel

Halifax; In twenty.seven days at Table
Bay; In fifty.eight days at Hong Kong.
England has been most wise In the per-
bistency with which she has striven for the
mastery of the sea, and her enormous ex-
penditures upon her feet have been money
we'll laid out. Her navy constitutes at
once the surest defence Of the British Isles,
her source OF aggression against foreign
enemies, the safeguard Of that vast COM
merco which is the source of her wealth,
her assurance of a food supply from foreign
larders, and the guarantee given to her
colonies, spread all over the world, that she
can and will protect them.
Unlocking nations had, therefore, much
Do learn in the Spithead display as to the
source of England's rise to power inc her
vigorous determination to hold her own.
We may we'll take our share Of that lesson.
While our isolation from the Old World
and our easy and overwhelming superior
fly to anything in the New World render
It unnecessary for US to maintain a feet
like England's, yet We must have navy
enough to make our coasts secure and our
Tag respected. Dur ocean carrying trade
is still too meagreto require q great fleet fol

may in time be mended. Meanwhile, we
must have a fleet adequate to guard Amer

Jury through ignorance OF its purpose and his
tory on tho part of tho President of the Park
Commission. Mr.. MCMILLAN. abetted by two
other Commissioners who know no more than
he, has again bowed to the uniformed and un-
thinking craze for banlshing all restraint In tho
Park. and the public Is again invited to roam
at will over the grass and to /" enjoy Its own"
This Is an old project. often repeated by tho
casual Park Commissioner against the advice
OF experts experienced In park management,
and the results are always the same. After a
little indulgence In this Bhort-sighted policy the
inevitable damage becomes apparent and too
offensive even TO the Park Commissioner re-.

those who appreciate the value OF Its beauty
and know how to preserve 1t. Mr.. MCMILLAN

preservation OF the parks. AT tho same time no
makes the city pay thousands of dollars in edu'
eating him for his duties. He would not turn

Last Tuesday the Board of Aldermen, by
what seems to have been q unanimous vote,
adopted an ordinance intended to obvlate the
dangers OF accident. collision, runaways. and
unskllful driving in this city. 1t prescribes that
every driver OF a public cart or wagon must be
"nt least 81 years Of age. a citizen of the United
stntes or shall have received his first papers, a
resident Of this city. and shall DO licensed by tho
Mayor For tho privilege Of driving a cart he
must pay to the city 81 a year. the cost of q re-
newal on the LIST Of each successive December
being so cents. Tho licensed driver while at
work must wear a badge with the number OF
the truck license engraved thereon. with an
affixed scroll showing expiration of the license,
and OF a size and style to be prescribed by tho
Mayor or Mayors Marshal" These two func-
tionaries, or either Of them, are empowered to
revoke such licenses, and the ordinance further
provides:
ANY boy between IS and 81 years Of age, being the
support OF a widowed mother or having any one de-
pendent on him for support. shall, upon satisfactory
proofs. be granted a permit by his Honor the Mayor
70 drive q public cart"
Such boys, rs tho ordinance describes them,
are TO be furnished with n badge with an orna-
mental scroll. This badge. however. Is not to
be the property Of the boy but Of his employer,
and the employer is TO furnish the badge; but
the Mayor can revoke the license. as in other
cases. The ordinance further provides that
"the unauthorized possession Of a badge, rs
issued for cart or for cartmen, shall be deemed o
violation Of this article" Whether this plan
will reduce the number of accidents and act as
q shield to pedestrians Is a question which only
experiment can determine.

Seventy-Ave thousand coal diggers have
stopped working because. as they say, they
cannot get q living wage for their labor.
There Is no doubt that, as q general propo-
~sition. their statement Is true. There is
Just as little doubt that at the price at
which bituminous coal Is now supplied
to consumers, the coal mine owners
cannot pay higher wages than the pres.
emit scale. Cut-throat competition applied
to a productive industry In which the
normal supply Is far greater than the nor.
NAL demand has worked Its natural and
inevitable result. The coal mine owners
have recklessly underbid each other. This
spring, for instance, contracts were made
In this city for bituminous coa to be de-
livered from Ohio mines at far points on
Lake Superior for $2 per ton, a price which
barely covered the cost of the production
and transportation of the coal, II, indeed,
1t did not actually fall below 1t. The oil

roads, and these railroads, as the result of
this war, are on the verge of bankruptcy.
or already in the hands OF receivers.
The situation will probably be relieved
by some agreement between the coal-mine
operators to charge consumers a higher
price for coal, or such price at least as will
afford some human motive for continuing
to mine and sell the product. Such an
agreement, 1t is well known, has been
found necessary In the anthracite coal
business In the East, and II such an agree
