EDITOR RHODES, VIEW.
Safe and Elastic Power to Issuc
Currency Needed,

Mr.. Bradford Rhodes the editor-in-chief
of the Bankers Magazine OF New York. is
spending few days in Washington. III
addition to his editorial duties. Mr.. Rhodes
Is the president of the Mamaroneck Bank
and of the Union Savings Bank of Wes7-
chester county. n. Y. Asked what action.
in his Judgment, Congress should take at
the present time, he replied I'm my iutlg-
ment it is essential, not only for the sue
cess of the republican party, but to main
tain the integrity of the finances of the
government, that something positive should
be done at the present session relative to
improving existing currency conditions"
w hat should be done to bring about the
required change in our financial condition -
Inc feeling OF unrest among the people
must be met The citizen wishes first to
improve his own condition, and, secondly.
to look OUT for the best interests of his i'm
mediate neighborhood, his township, his
county, his state, and, necessarily. the
larger community of states embraced In
the Union. From purely political stand
point, from my observation, the party in
power Will gain an immense advantage by
promoting and pushing to q vote in the
House of Representatives q simple dell
mite and clearly understood measure for
reforming existing currency laws, so as to
meet the actual demands of business in
every section of the country.
THE issuance OF credit currency against
Weil-defired banking capital is a possibility,
even unter existing conditions and / am
well assured tnat the wisdom coucentra I ed
In Congress Will solve the yexed question
in the near future.
After all, the question of finance is not
so complicated as the average politician
would make people believe Apply the
common principles of commercial integrity
to the side of finance ard the question viii
be more clearly understood"

A kNOTTY PROBLEM.
Question Raised by Scalcr of Weights
and Measures.

The attorney for the District is agitating
his gray matter in the solution of about
as perplexing a problem, it is said as was
ever referred to him. The question was
raised by the seaier CT weights and meas
Tres for the District, who brought 1t to the
attention of the District Commissioners. 1t
is not known whether or not they attempt
ed to solve it, but if they did it is evident
that they signally failed, for they, in turn,
referred it TO the law officer of the Dis
trIct. He must either solve IL or refer 1t to
one or ell of his assistants. Like that great
question which has troubled many of the
states and municipalities of the country,
1t is one of wet or dry-that is, whether
sauerkraut and pickles shall be sold by
liquid or dry measure.
The sealer recently confScated a number
OF liquid measures used for selling sauer-
kraut and pickles. His action was ques-
toned by several persons interested.
through attorneys employed by them, it
being claimed that these delicacies should
be sold by liquid and not by dry measure,
the seaer contending that the last named
means of measurement is the proper and
lawful one. The more the sealer thought
came, it is understood and, as he eX-
planned. for the purpose of placing the
office in a position to inteligenuy arrive
at proper conclusion he suggested that
the written opinion of the attorney for the
District be obtained in the matter.
The District Commissioners adopted the
SealerS suggestion, and the law officer and
is staff of legal lights are engaged in an
attempt to satisfac ;orily solve the problem.

Attorney General GrfEgs Called on 10
Apprekend Guilty Parties.
The recent outrage at Lake City, South
Carolina, in which the coiored postmaster,
Baker, and his infant child were murdered
and his wife and son severely wounded
was the subject for consideration at a
largely attended meeting of the lyceum of
the Second Baptist Church yesterday af-
ternoon. Vigorous speeches were made by
R. S. Smith, John U. Johnson, Sumner
Taylor and James Lewis of Louisiana. In
the course of the latters remarks he touch
ed upon the probability of trouble with
Spain, and while declaring that the
colored people had many just grounds for
complaint of their treatment as a race,
said they were still Americans. He knew
there were 2,000,0O0 colored men ready to
uphold and defend the honor of the Union.
At the conclusion of the speeches a reso-
luton was adopted, which, after reciting
the facts of the killing of Postmaster Baker
and the barbarous treatment of his family
called upon Attorney General Griggs to
use his best endeavors to bring the guilty
parties to a speedy trial, and resolved
that a copy of the resolutions be sent to
the Attorney General and a committee be
appointed to collect data respecting lynch
ing in the United States.

MASS OF REQUIEM.
Solemn Service at st. Joseph's Catho-
lie Church,

solemn mass of requiem was sung at
st. Joseph's Church, I'd and c streets
northeast, this morning for the repose of
the souls of the men who died on the
Maine. A large catafalque was placed In
front of the altar railing, which was
draped with American flags. A large flag
was also suspended from the choir loft. A
detachment from the Marine Corps, under
command Of Capt. f. H. Harrington, occu-
pied the front seats in the middle aisle.

by Father Dillon, read the usual prayers
for the dead, which was followed by a
short address by Father cunane Of st. An
thongs Church. Brookland.
I'VE are assembled today" said the
speaker, mot to eulogize the men who per-
ished in the sad catastrophe, for their eu-
lOgy is already written upon the hearts OF
an apprecfative people, but rather to con-
slider the lessons Of patriotism, self-control
and obedience which the accident teaches"
Father Cunane went on to say that pa
triotism, the love of country, and religion,
the love of God, were closely allied; the
love Of God was displayed by the observ-
ance of Gods commandments, and patriot
ism by reverence for the laws Of our
country.
1.-The better the Christian" said he, '.the
better the patriot; for he has learned that
reverence for constituted authority, which
his religion has taught him, is ordained Of.

The priest then praised the self-control
which is being exercised by President Nc
Kinley and the whole people, and spoke
very feelingly of the action of Captain
Sigsbee and of the obedience and discipline
shown by the marine whoi reported the
sinking of the Ship
He closed by requesting the congregation,
which filled the church. to- pray for the
heroes who died for their country.
