TIE CERRENCY hIESS1GE.

The president did what he conceived
to be his duty in sending a message 10
congress recommending the creation of II
currency commission and the renub-
iicans of the house of representatives
approved the position of the president BY
passing bill providing for srch cem-
mission. In the senate this bill was re-
ferred to the iinunce committee and il
is questionable whether ii will ever b.
heard of again. If it should be reported
mt the regular session it would BE- Il
source OF prolonged discussion with The
probabilities against its passage The
majority in the senate is undoubtedly
opposed To currency commission
The message of President Mckinley
shows that he regards n revision of the
currency system as of very great inn
Dortance and matter not To be un-
necessarily delayed. lie says the system
should be Simpltifd and strengthened.
Keeping our money just as good as 1t
Is now with less expense to the govern
ment and the people" This appears To
imply that the president is favorable to
the permanent retirement of the legal
tender notes, because the only exp nsa
to the people in connection with the cur
fehcy is In maintaining a gold reserve
Tor the redemption of those notes. In
deed, II seems to be Il fair inference
from the tone of the message that Mr..
Mckinley looks with favor upon what
is known as the indianapolis plan OF
currency reform, the essential feature OF
which is the retirement and cancellation
OF the greenDacks. If this Inference is

Emotion Over an Illusion.

At the transmississippl convention the
Hon. William Jennings Bryan declared with
his usual wealth of dramatic declaration:
when | desert bimetallism, you can
brand me with disgrace, but if every member
of this convention deserted it you cannot
disgrace mel will fight for silver still"
An unnecessary gust of emotion over an
illusion. Mr., Bryan can't desert bimetal
lism because he is not a bimetallist. He is
a silver monomstallist or monomaniac

Calamity is an easy campaign issue
because it requires no thought or study

The pulpit of the preacher toad.

And all the congregation gone.

Then how the cricket choir Will chime!
And what a sermon / shall hear!

IMPRISONED FOR DEBT.
william Lotta's Body Held for a
Debt of S5.25.

William Lotta, of 139 Seventh street.
enjoys the unique, If not pleasant eX-
periencc of being the first person sent
to tire Lackawanna county Jail by an
alderman under the old debtors act
I.otta was sued for trespass by q
neighbor June q, 1897, and a judgment
of $5.25 was given against the defen-
dant by Alderman John p. Kelly, of
the Eighteenth ward. Constable James
w Clark went to sell Lotta's personal
effects but the goods and chattles he
found on the premises would not COM
mence to satisfy the judgment so, in
accordance with the old statue un-
der which the action was prosecuted,
Lotta's body was seized and Saturday
evening last was delivered at the coun-
ty jail to be detained in the debtors
cell until such time as the debt AMI
costs were satisfied.
The debtors cell is a separate and
distinct department in the upper part
of the Jail. Under the law a debtor
is not to be placed in the ordinary Jail
cell It is a distinction without a diff
ference in these days, but under the
common law it obtained significance.
Lotta, of course, will get out under
the insolvency laws, a check which the
state puts on the workings of the COM
mcn law.

accident One of the iron bars which
holds the structure together struck him
under the chin, throwing him from off
his seat. In his descent his head came
in contact with the hind wheel, infiict-

The blow from the bar also rendered a
deep cash, which extended from ear to
ear. After DIR. Snyder had dressed the
wounds the unfortunate young man
was taken to his home.
