The Teller ResOlutfon

Inc PRESIDENT has again spoken on the
financial question and has again planted
himself on the ST.. Louis platform. He
quotes the financial plank in full No part
is omitted, no part especially emphasized
he stands where has stood since the 4th
OF March last, and where he will continue
TO stand during his whole term of office
unless his position is changed for him by
the terms of an international agreement
as 10 free silver coinage. That is to say
that during his occupancy of the White
House and control Of the Treasury Depart
ment the credit of the government shall
not be impaired by any departure on his
part from the lines clearly laid down by
the republican party. All the money of the
country shall continue to be kept as good
as the best money in service among the
great nations of the world
The Senate Immediately replies to this by
reviving deliverance twenty years old on
the subject of coin payments. which never
had the effect of law, and to which the
effect of law Is not now given 1t is not
intended to reach the President 1t will
not pass the House. And so the old in
quiry is suggested. If it is so soon to be
done for. what was 1t begun for?
There ares differences of opinion about
this. but there can be none about the re-
spective value of the two deliverances
The Presidents. while announcing no new
policy. is of the highest moment as show
ing his firm adherence to the DID, the pres
ent policy. The Senate's has no practical
value at all. Nothing in the way Of in
fuencing the treasury policy will come Of
It. The question Of the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at 16 to 1 as an inde-
pendent act of this government stands Just
where 1t stood before 1t has not been ad-
vanced in the slightest degree.
Then what was it all about? That Is the
point. Some Of the friends of currency re-
form have been working for some action
by Congress at this session, while others
have thought IT useless to attempt any
thing. Which one of the two factions have
been the more encouraged by this demon-
stration in the Senate? The question an
swers itself. Has there been a little STRAIT
egy practiced by the Senate simply to con-
vince the country of the hopelessness of
currency reform by this Congress? Mat
tiers at least look little palmer viewed in
that light.

of assassination, and was celebrated by
the Spaniards with the gayety which as
rule goes with fete. There were bonfires
and professions, and the Spanish officer in
command when the insurgent chief fell
was publicly thanked and promoted The
procedure was curious, but it testified in
brutal Spanish fashion to the extraordi-
nary merits of the boldest of the Cuban
fighters.
The latest name to be added to the list
is that of General Aranguren. He was
very young man for command-only
twenty-three-but he had shown his quality
as a soldier. and that was excellent. An
unusual test came in the matter OF Colonel
Ruiz, whom. in the discharge of his duty
as a soldier, he was obliged to execute.
a weak or a. stupid man would have
wavered He did not. but promptly did his
duty. His enemies will try in vain to
smirch his memory in detailing the manner
of his death. The true story is of course,
not to be obtained from them. His emil
hence will make his memory shining
mark for their malevolent invention. His
fame is secure among those with whom he
served.
Is 1t possible that men like these had no
inspiring cause for their activity above
that of plumber? Did they show at any
stage Of their activity any sign or symp-
tom of the freebooter? They were men of

they forfeit any of that character while
IN arms! Or course not. They went to

consideration by the authorities. The sus-

mayors dictum that the charities of New
York were superior to any in the world.
Notwithstanding the positive assertion OF
the commissioner that some of the char
itsble institutions maintained by the mu-
nicipaIity were a disgrace to any American
community. This speech SO angered the
mayor that he peremptorily discontinued
the conference. The same spirit of intoi-
erance with the least suggestion against
the entire sufficiency of New York and
New Workers Was evidenced later when the
president of the board of education was
explaining the estimates. and was sharply
indicted by the mayor for the appointment
of the teachers of higher grades from else
where than New York. The president of
the board was forced to admit that 1t has
been found impossible 10 find the persons
qualified for such positions in the city, and
that it has bean necessary to go elsewhere
for pedagogic talent, whereat His Honor
became intensely enraged and denounced
such disfoyal sentiments and statements
as unworthy of a New Yorker, asserting
that it went without saying that the best

boundaries of Manhattan

Eovei for New Yorker. but it Is amazing
when carried 10 such violent extreme by
an official who is supposed to possess jul
dfcial qualities and has been elevated to
the most important mayoralty in the
United States. The accounts of the daily

One of the great mistakes, according
to general belief here, that republicans
in Congress are making. Is the war on
civil service reform. There Is only q
small minority of republicans in each
branch who are active in this business,
but they have votes enough with the dem
Ocrats to carry on investigations and do
other Things to give an impression to the
country that the republican party is wag-
ing war on this reform.
The great majority of republicans in both
House and Senate are In favor of the ex-
tension of the law rather than its hmita-
ton. while President Mckinley Is a firm
believer in civil service reform. Nothing
will be done with his approval to discredit
the law. But this agitation started In Con-

A Hall of American History.

Steps are being taken at the national
museum in Washington to carry out an
idea long contemplated of developing a
hall of American history. Professor
Goode had long cherished the idea, and
Professor Holmes, who is in charge of
the department of anthropology, is
equally enthusiastic. 1t is the purpose
to have the institution as nearly nation
al in it's character as possible, and every
effort will BIZ made to have as many
things in it relating to early American
history, that of the United States in
particular, as can be obtained. The OBJ
jects and relics will be presented chron-
ologically, beginning with the period
when Left Ericsson, in his Viking ship,
visited America Then will follow in
order Columb bus, the pilgrims, Captain
John Smiths party, the Dutch and 9TH

of the rebellion. There will also be Ok

igation and of railroading, and of the

Clereymen Long Lived.

The figures collated by the life insur-
anee companies in the United States
and England show that as a rule clergy
men are long lived. Physicians and sci
entists agree that among the elements
which contribute to long life are sobrie-
ty, regular hours, outdoor exercise
some mental occupation, and above all
serenity-the quality which qualities
