THE WHITTIER IMPROVEMENTS

The state board of examiners, o1
which Governor Budd is chairman, the
secretary Of state and the attorney gen.
eral being the other members, hasias YET
failed to pass upon the plans for new
system of buildings and equipment sub
mitted nearly two months ago by the
board of trustees of Whittier reform
school. So marked has the neglect Of the
board been, that some go so far as to
attribute 1t to personal feeling on the
cart OF the governor, growing out Of
differences existing between. the excu-
tive and various members of the Demo.
cratic party in this section.
The Herald can scarcely credit this ex-
PLANTATION. Governor Budd is man OF
Intelligence, and as the governor of the
state is familiar with the situation at
Whittier. He must know that the need
for the new buildings is urgent: that II
is impossible to properly care for the
inmates Of the school under the existing
conditions. The money is ready. The
plans have been properly drawn. ap-
proved by the board Of trustees, and sub
mitted by the state examining board, as
required by the statutes. The Herald
prefers to believe that Governor Budd
is above such a display Of petty spite
as delaying great and urgent public
improvement merely to indulge his per.
sonal political grievances-if he has any

FOR FIAT MONEY.
General Warner Injuries the
Is Cause of Silver by Radl-
cal Flat Talk.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 15.-The third
and last day of the National Currency
Convention, began with paper in sup.
port of the unlimited issue Of irredeem.
able currency by the government, by
Gen. A. j. Warner, President of the
American Bimetallic Union.
General Warner said the debate
would be divided inte--first, the advo-
cacy of bank currency; second, the plea
for governmental currency to circulate
concurrently with metals; third, an af-
firmation of an irredeemable govern
ment paper currency or absolute fat
ism.
AS to the defense of falling prices,
made by gold standard advocates, he
said that he concurred in their opinions,
except as to farm products, for which
the labor of cost had not decreased,
and with the further qualifications
that there had been no reduction of
fixed charges, such as transportation
rates, debts and taxes.
Reply was made by Congressman G.
N. Fowler, Of New Jersey, who sup
ported bank currency. He said that
the only:logical.position silverites could
take was that of Warner; that if they
could legislate value into silver, they
could legislate value into paper and
make it redeem itself.

against the United States, whose con-
duct toward Spain in declaring war
against us, without motive or protext,

ing from us the highest marks of our

condemned too severely.
My government signed a peace pro-

therefore hope this arrogant nation may
receive her just deserts, and God knows
that the day when this act of national

the beginning of decay Of the Ameri-

crIcIs Of Third Republic.
JusTIcElF THE NATION PERISH


New YORK, Sept. IA dispatch to
the World, from Paris, says: France Is
on the brink of the gravest crisis since
the birth Of the third republic.
Premier Brisson and all the other
members Of the cabinet except Zurlin-
den, Minister of War, and possibly
Lockroy, are convinced Of the absolute
necessity Of revision OF the Dreyfus
case. At Saturdays meeting of the
cabinet the revision will be discussed.
President faure has been q deter
mined opponent Of the revision, and
has caused it to be rumored that he
will resign if it is granted. No one
believes he win resign, but every enc
sees in the threat to do SO desperate
expedient TO get rid at one blow of
Brisson's cabinet and of the revision
also.
Faure is accused Of aiming at dicta-
torship. and if he succeeds in destroy
ing the Brisson cabinet it will be the
act of dictator. The Dreyfus agita-
tioD can new be suppressed only by an
exercise Of arbitrary power.

Handsome Office Building

The Messenger learns that the
Southern Guarantee and Investment
Company, of Greensboro. N. c., has
decided upon the erection of a fine five
story office building in that city. It
will be constructed Of brick, granite
and ~brownstone and will be located
on the east side of Market street next
to the p%ostoffice.
The building is to be a modern struc-
ture and will be a credit to the state.
1t will have a frontage of eighty feet
or more and will contain handsome
stores on the first floor, and offices on
the other floors. It will be heated by
steam, and lighted by electricity and
gas, and the five floors will be con-
nected by an elevator and ~staircases.
The plans have been made by a
Charlotte architect, and work on the
building will be commenced in thirty
days.
