GREAT FOLLY TO HOLD
A SILVER RESERVE.
Report Probably Intended to Test
the Public Sentiment.
President of the Bank of England
Refuses to Confirm or Deny the
Rumor-Characteri as a De-
parture From the Straight and
Marrow rPath-The News of Eu-
rope-Enpero William Insulted.


London, Sept. 1.-THE important an
nouneement made by the Times this
morning in an article from a special
correspondent tos the effect that the
directors of the Bank Of England have
consented to hold one-ffth Of the bank
reserve in silver, has caused much ex-
element on the continent.
The governor of the Bank of Eng
land Albert George Sandman, when
questioned on the subject today by a
representative of the Associated Press,
refused to confirm or deny the report
From other Bank of England officials,
however, it was learned that the arti-
Gle was probably ballon d'essai, sent
up at the instance of the government
in order to ascertain the temper of the
people on the subject before giving a
final answer to the United States none
tary commission, headed by Senator
Edward @. WoIcott of Colorado.
The Pail NAH Gazette this afternoon,
commenting upon the report referred
to, says: This startling rumor is such
a bolt from the blue that we would
fdin believe there is some mistake.
Should the suggested act Of the bank
have subStantiation in fact, the COM
mercial world would Immediately rise
UP in arms and protest against so dan
gerous an innovation. Our contempo-
rary darkly hints at presume from
high quarters, and with equal mystery
suggests weighty affairs Of state as a
possible explanation for this sudden
and unexpected departure from the
straight and narrow path. But the
business community will not be salts
fed with any vague and unauthorized
statements of this kind and demands
an official proriounceFneft,"
Continuing the Gazette says: THAT
some qualified promise has been given
by the bank authorities to deal with
the silver question in a palliative sense,
is in fact nothing. At present the mat
ter is not regarded seriously, the mem
bers of the Stock Exchange refusing
to believe it possible that the bank au-
thorities would countenance depar
ture which would be most damaging to
trade and credit"

CHANGED THEIR PARTY NAME,
PROVO REPUBLICANS ARE NOW
NON-PARTISANS.
Democrats Walked Out of the Meet
ing and Republicans Decide to
Run a Non-Partisan Ticket.
lsnecial to The Herald.l

Provo, Sept. 11.-In response to the
call issued by a Democrat and Re-
publican for a meeting of citizens to-
night to consider the proposition of
putting non-partisan municipal ticket
in the field this fall, Al Republicans
and Is Democrats assembled in the
court house last evening. ". II. Du-
senberry presided and with the aid of
John C. Graham, f. s. Jones and Dave
Ward, ran the meeting.
John G. Graham offered the follow
ing resolution:
Whereas. There is evidently a pop
ular sentiment in favor Of non-par-
tisan election in this city, and
Whereas. This meeting shares in the
popular sentiment;
Resolved. That we pledge ourselves
to bring about the nomination and
election of a citizens non-partisan
ticket in the coming November mu-
nicipal election, and that to this end a
provisional committee Of IL citizens be
elected by this meeting, whose duty
shall be to call primaries in the re-
spectiVe wards for the nomination of
councillors and TO call a city conyen-
ton for the nomination of the several
officers and the organization of cam
paign committee to manage the cleo
ton IN DehaIf OF the people.
STRAIGHT PARTY VOTE.
It was suggested that it would be as
well to ascertain first of all if it was
the sense of the meeting that a nom
partisan election be held. This was
put in the form of a motion and was
carried by a vote Of Al TO 13- strictly
party vote, the Republicans voting aye
and the Democrats no.
The resolution offered by Graham
was then put and adopted by similar
vote, upon which the 13 Democrats re-
tired and left the Republicans to run
the whole works.
A PLAY FOR SUCKERS.
Then a peculiar thing happened. The
next business before the meeting was
the appointment Of the campaign cam
mittee, which was at once proceeded
With and resulted in nine Democrats
and two Republicans being named.
This was done as stroke of policy
with the view Of enIisting the Demo-
Gratis in the non-partisan cause, but
the move is not at all likely to have
the expected effect. The so-called nom
partisans are practically all Repub-
lfcans and the Democrats will put a
straight party ticket in the field, so
that in effect the election will be run
on party lines.
The campaign committee named was
as follows:
First Ward.-Roger Farrer D9,
James e Daniels CD
Second Ward.-H. j. W. Goddard
Cd, 7. j. Ward (Fe.)
Third Ward Walter Scott D.). Sa-

BOSTON, July 27.-The dinner Of Bos-
ton business men to Secretary Gage
at the Tuilleries this afternoon was at
tended by about $50 of the leading men
in professional and commercial life in
the city An informal reception was held
preceding the dinner
On being introduced Secretary Gage
said, in part:
Opposing forces met in November
last and contended bitterly over the
most vital Of economic questions. That
issue now decided. The ballot has re-
corded it's imperative voice for honest
money and for liberty regulated by law.
1t now remains to be seen whether from
that decision there is to be any success
full appeal. 1t is this that gives interest,
anxious interest, to the prospective &C
ton of those who, clothed with legis-
lative and executive functions, have +.
in their power to make eecuresthe fruits
Of victory, or who, by failing to COM
prehend their high responsibility, may
let slip the advantages so hardly won.
1.-THE administrative branch of the
government will not sleep nor rest mac
tive Its influence has been and will be
for prompt and judicious action. The
evidence of this fact is fresh at hand
in the message just now submitted to
congress by the president.
1.-THE recommendation of the president
for a commission was admirable in this
that it suggested way by which a body
of well trained and thoughtful men
could be provided to consider at leisure.
without distraction from other pressing
themes, the important subject of cur
rency and banking reforms. 1t at the
same time opened forum to which
could be admitted every contributive
suggestion from all classes and condi-
tons of men.
THAT the bill which passed the house
with promptness failed Of recognition in
the senate may be matter of regret but
not of encouragement.
1.-THE two questions before the coun-
try in the last political campaign were
the tariff and the currency. One of them
Is already settled. Whatever the mer-
its or dement's of the new measure in
it's particular items, it has become the
law of the land The revenues derived
from it WILL after possible brief in
term, be ample for proper government
expenditures, and if the old aphorism be
true, that the revenue of the state il
the states, we may say without exag-
geration that the state is re-esta blished.
We have also reached point where with
absolute data furnished, commerce and
manufacture can make correct -esti-
mates and go upon their respective mis-
sions of exchange and production with
a new sense of security. The RESPONSE

covered this one important issue may be
safely trusted to care equally well for
the other"
