William J. Bryan has this to say of
the financial policy as announced bv
Gage, MrKinley's secretary of the
treasury to be:
Mr.. Gage is a daisy. Greenbacks
should, he said, be retired, and The
silver purchased under the Sherman
act should be sold aud treasury notes
redeemed and cancelled, Then we
ought to have bank notes that are re-
deemable only in gold. And he also
says the government should not act as
a warehouse for either gold or silver,
There is no doubt absut Mr.. Gage
being a daisy. [ wonder if he would
like to lnaugurate a system by which
we would have to obtain his permiss-
ion Zach morning to live throughout

To THE EDITOR OF HI SUN-Sfr One Of the
most pitiable objects known to cycledom. the
bicycle masher, seems to have vanished. At
this time last year he was to be seen at almost
every turn in the parks and boulevsrds. and, in
his own estimation, he was the only pebble"
worth noticing. His face was a subject for
study, and his conduct was all his own. He
didn't crouch over his handle bar like a scorcher.
and his cap was never askew. He didn't allow
himself TO get .het up" like some other riders,
and his features were always calm and extremely
mobile. He delighted in practising the pedal
mount" and in riding hands of" and in dis

him as q vulgar. empty-headed fellow, and proof
that he was also no stranger to male riders was
one, he was soundiy disciplined by them for his
behavior. That was apparently the only correc-
ton having the desired effect. Policemen sell
dom detected him. and the women that he an
moved were generally too timid to think OF max
ing an immediate complaint.
This year the masher is rarely seen, and what

pranks elsewhere, or II he has reformed and is
still in New York. 1t isn't unlikely that his dole

Again, the masher may have discovered that a
large number of females do not ride unaccom'

At any rate. the career of the masher was very
brief, and no one regrets his disappearance. As

How Bishop Willis Secs It.

One Of the many queer British comments
on the preparations to receive Hawaii into
our Union Is that attributed to Bishop
WILLIS Of Honolulu, who, having recently
arrived in England, assures the people there
that 1.-THE feeling in the islands is against
the United States, and greatly In favor Of
British annexation" This is not the only
odd discovery OF the Bishop. He thinks
that America does not really a Hawaii,
for the mystifying reason that "the LAY Of
expulsion would be nullifed IL Hawaii was
annexed" Finally, "if Great Britain
would not take the country, the next best
course Is for Japan to reinstate Queen ILL
UoKALAN1."
Such utterances will delight the Globe
Of London, which declares that "this
American grab is a breach of good faith"
and that sit Is a matter Of regret that the
islands were not added to the British empire
long ago." But the fact L. that England
has never seen the day within the last fifty
years when she could venture to seize these
islands, marked by destiny for US.
Bishop WILLIS suggestion that IL Great
Britain does not care to control Hawaii,
Japan should have second choice. seems to
mean anything to beat the United States.

THE SEALS.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: On tho
Goth ult. you kindly published my letter predict
ing the utter folly and failure of Special Fur
Seal Ambassador" John w. Fosters mission to
Russia and Japan in behalf of the fur seal herd
of Alaska In order that your readers may
fully realize the truth Of my prediction that 'Ias
for Japan she has not even a %perfunct interest
In a fur-seal rookery, and will never lift q hand
against Great Britain on this score" I quote
the following press despatch. which appears this
morning.:
VICTORIA. B. c.. June lo.-A. r, Milne. Collector Of
Customs, is in receipt of Q letter from Hakodate in
which It ia stated that the Japanese Diet has passed a
bill to subsidiEe seaiers. This is expected TO cause the
transfer of many British sealers to the Japanese nag.
Our State Department officials should save
Foster the extension of his idle junket to Japan.
and end the farce of his mission at st. Peters
burg. where he probably is to-day engaged In
the arduous appearance of doing something.
when In fact he might better be in the bosom of
his family In no far as tho public treasury and
the cause of saving the fur soals Of Alaska are
concerned. He Is an unlimited guest, and such
never receive favors. PRIBYLoY,

Committee Votes Again for the site at F1fth
Avenue and Eirty-ninth street-Not PInnl.
Tho COMMITTEES having in charge the ERGO
ton Of the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial tP
which tho Legislature has appropriated $3.50.
0oO. met in the Mayors office yesterday for the
first time in eighteen months. At the lass
meeting the committee decided that the proper
site for the memorial was at Fifty-ninth street
and Fifth avenue, and that q shaft or figure
would be preferable to IN arch. The selection
Of the site was opposed by the Federation OF Fine
Arts, the members Of which declared that tho
proper place for the monument was at River
side Drive and Seventy-second street. The
Mayor and Recorder GoR were OF the same
opinion. and the Park Board, which will have TO
pass finally on tho site, was asked 70 sustain
the Federation. Nothing further, however.
was heard about the matter until yesterday.
- In the meanwhile President Mcmillan Of the
Park Board and Joseph A Goulden, Chairman
of the Memorial Committee of the G. A. r, BE-
came members of the Monument
and another vote was taken at the meeting yes
terday. The vote was again in favor OF Fifty:
ninth street and Fifth avenue, the Recorder and
the Mayor dissenting. President Mcmillan
was instructed to present at the next meeting
plans Of the site selected Each member OF the
committee was also empowered to submit the
name of one architect, and from the whole num-
Der three viii be selected to prepare the plans
for the memorial. Besides the Mayor. the Re-
corder, and Messrs. Mcmillan and Goulden, the
members of tho committee are Comptrollea
Fitch and Commissioners Of Public Works Coils.

The people who make newspapers have. in the
natural course OF their business, TO read . great many
journals. but 1t is well known that II all of them were
restricted to the reading Of one newspaper their
choice, almost unanimously. would be THE Sun.
IL IL interesting. then, as an important sign of the
times. that an authentic vote OF the graduating classes
of such large univ ersities as Yale and Princeton shows
that they choose a. their favorte newspaper THE SUN.
TIE Bun Is so modest that 1t does not take the trouble
TO point this out conspicuously. and herein 1t differs
from the majority OF its contemporaries in New York
city. almost any one of which would have placarded
tho fact in poster type on the nrat page and kept II
standing on the inside indefinitely.

The wheel ana the euara.

To THE EprroR OF THE suS-Str: Much has been
written of the inroads tho bicycle has made in almost
every business. but its effect on the National Guard OF
this and other States has apparently passed unno-
ticed.
Admitted that the wheel has an attractiveness
which. at some time or other. attacks every person.
and which I term .bicycle MANIA" should q person
OF common intellect allow It to interfere with his
business and the development Of a body which will
never be able to demonstrate its utility until we are
plunged in WARP
Enlistment in the Guard necessitates attendance
for drills one night in q week. and for meetings from
one night in q week to one night In a month. And
bicycle enthusiasts cannot he separated from their
wheels for even this brief period.
True, from one viewpoint. II has q good effect.
Young men who md themselves unable to purchase
q wheel are deserted by their friends, and, for mere
gained in this manner is exceedingly small. and such
men seldom make good soldiers,
The wheel has been introduced in tho Guard osten-
sibly because Of its practicability, but in reality Its
introduction ia merely to attract those suffering from
"bicycle mania" A cavalry onicer conversing with
measure conceded its superiority over the horse, but
! thought l detected q vein of keen sarcaRm.
As . matter OF fact. the wheel never can he of any
use in actual warfare. and in time OF peace only as an
auxiliary adjunct TO the regularly recognized
branches OF the service. Can Il be made TO 1unp
walls or bitches? Can IL DO made to successfully per
form the intricate movements OF close order or the
hazardous movements OF extended order? Can 1t be
anything but an impeachment on rough ground and IN
scaling fences ? To each of these questions / en-
phatically answer. No!

A Campaign OF Education.

Among the scattered members Of the De-
mocracy of 1892 a campaign of education
is now going on, Of the very highest AGA
demic value. Its political Importance will
he revealed hereafter. The subject studied
is the former National Democratic plank
of a tariff for revenue only" which was
lost sight of In the hurly-burly of the 1892
campaign against the rich and against
capital as robbery. tariff or no tariff. The
question of the unconstitutionality OF a
tariff for other purposes than revenue could
scarcely attract much attention In a move
ment headed by a candidate, who in the
great Homestead crisis championed the
side of the murderous strikers and lit the
fires that blazed out more fully in the Bry-
anism of 1896. Neither during the actual
campaign of 1892 nor during the passage
of the Wilson bill through Congress was
there any informing discussion upon the
tariff plank that could remove the uncer-
tainty regarding its meaning.
Since the Democrats have been in the mi
nority in the matter of tariff making, Demo.
cratic Senators and newspapers have de.
bated the former tariff plank with great
ea~rnestness, considerable ~fulness, and evi.
IDENTIFY with some profit, since the con-
clusion of the majority apparently is
the true one, namely, that a tariff
for revenue only means what 1t says.
1t tolerates no free list. A free list results
from discrimination among imports and
the manipulation of the tariff schedules
with more ideas than revenue in mind Thu
constitutional Democratic tariff. for good
or evil, for prosperity or calamity, mus
be for revenue only.
When this principle Is understood clearl.
the tariff will be ready to be an issue again
At present there Is no tariff issue. No part,
favors a tariff for revenue only. No part.
of this decade ever favored such a tariff ex
cept with it's mouth.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: I would like to
get through your columns an answer to the question.
What is meant by discipline In the New York city
schools? / have been quietly investigating this ques.
ton by questioning pupils and teachers. and have
com to the conclusion that there is scarcely such a
thing known in most schools In this city as discipline
In the true sense.
1t seems that all authority has been taken from the
teachers. All that is left is an appeal to the principal.
which. so far as l can learn, generally results In q
triumph for tho pupil. who comes back to his class
more saucy. more idle and disorderly than before.
Most principals seem to believe that the teacher Is
the cause OF all disorder In a class room. Nothing
more thoroughly demoralizing thnn this assumption
can be conceived. Imagine the same assumption acted
upon in an army As the schools are now organized,
nothing but q discipline approaching that OF an army
will enable the teacher TO proceed with. her work.
seriously by our new Board OF commissioners Any
one who will Investigate the matter will come TO the
conclusion that nearly or quite 30 per cent. OF the
time OF the average class is taken up In keeping down
the disorder created by a few disorderly pupils who
ought TO have been removed long before.
Teachers refrain from complaint publicly. IA II hurts
their records with their %superiors. who blame the
teachers for conditions over which the teachers have
no control. ISQUIRER.
