O PEAKER REED is undoubtedly
~ regarding with merriment the
- plight in which the house COM
mittee on banking and currency finds
itself. This committee has listened to
the advocates of at least three schemes
AL goldbug. One of these plans has
Secretary Gage for it's sponsor and he
has been calling the attention of the
committee to its especial beauty and
merit.
A second plan came from the self
created monetary commission; this plan
was elucidated by ex-senator Edmunds.
Chairman Walker, of the committee,
has a plan of his own-he wants to
retire greenbacks instantly and have
bank circulation without the specific
security Mr.. Gage proposes. The secre-
tary of the treasury avows his general
approval Of the commission plan, but
prefers his own. He thinks well of the
Walker plan, but when he was before
the homse committee he remarked that,
in his opinion, the people are hardly
ripe for it,
The next business before the commit
tee will be to agree, if the members
can, on a report to be made to the
house There's the rub; the belief is
that the members composing the gold
bug part of the committee will not find
it possible to come to an agreement;
! the press dispatch of yesterday morn
ing touching the committees work,
! leaves one to conclude that no agree
/ ment will be reached.
1 Thus the prediction made by Speaker
/ Reed at the opening of the session Of
/ congress is finding itself supported by
experience. The speaker said that
/ there would be no currency legislation
this session because you couldn't find
| a half dozen republicans in the house
who agree as To the legislation that
ought to be passed. 1t looks as if the
/ speaker knew what he was talking
| about.

after it became anti-kissing. The writer
negIects to state with what church he
affiliated after he renowned the Sap
lists. Possibly he was unable TO find
enough good kissing in any of the es-
tabIished churches and was obliged 10
start one of his own. Such church
should have elements of popularity.

Gus and the entire absence of 'pharasee-
ism" should he highly enjoyable 10
young and old. 1t Is to be feared, how
ever. that an effort to Christianize the
world on such principles would not he
altogether success. In fact between
Christianity on these lines and Moham-
mechanism, most heathens would prefer
to go the whole hog and adopt the al
Turing religion of Mahomet.
To return to Brother Lee-did he, or
did he not, kiss the brethren as well as
the sisters? II he did the Baptist per-
manent council should deal lightly with
the brother He was following his con-
ceptions of Christianity and a commit
ment to an insane asylum should be the
maximum penalty. If, however, his
kisses We're reserved for the ladies ex-
clusively, a term in the penitentiary
would be more satisfying.

Mixed Up In Maryland.

-rHE fifth days balloting at An
napolis leaves the senatorial sit
uation in Maryland as confusing
as ever. The ballot taken yesterday
does not reveal the change which the
machine republicans had hoped for
the result was 46 votes for McComas, as
for German, 16 for Shaw and a scat
tered balance.
The situation in Maryland is curious.
The revolution in that state began hong
ago i'm the effort TO overthrow Mr.. Cor
man-toward that end the Cleveland
administration contributed all il could.
The result was that, through demo-
cratic help, the traditional democratic
majority in Maryland was oVerthroWn
and a Legislature, republican IN Joint
ballot, elected George L. Wellington 70
the office of federal senator. He pro-
ceeded at once to make himself the
most offensive boss Maryland had ever
/ known-to say nothing of the fact that
promptly on taking his seat IN the SEN
ate, last March. he showed remarkable
aptness in making a conspicuous fool OF
himself. However. wellington is run
ming the machine in Maryland, ana Nc
Comas is the machines candidate. and,
despite Wellngtons antics in Wash
ington. the administration Is using its
influence to pull McComas through.
In Joint session Of the Maryland leg
lislature, the republicans have seven
teen majority: of course, We're they al
harmony an election would promptly
be made. But the republican factions
are in a fight that makes harmony i'm
possible. the reference to the faithful
eleven" is to II coalition of eleven re-
publieans and the democrats-they or
ganized the lower house This coall
ton can keep up the deadlock indefin
itely, If il wants to. There is n'
thought that Mr.. German, by stayihi
in the race, can get the senatorship
but if the fight follows it's present lines
the democrats can dictate the choice
for senator. and. whoever he is, it vii
certainly be man who will help L
wreck the Wellington machine.

resolution. which republicans passed
and which is an assertion for silver,
their only comment is: THAT was 50

that remark is conclusive, how is it
with republican declarations of more
recent years. To say nothing Of re-
publican platforms, take account of the
formal assertions of the republican
party in the shape of legislation.
The most noteworthy financial legis-
lation of recent times is the repeal Of
the Sherman purchasing clause. That
was accomplished in the extraordinary
session of congress summoned by Pres.
ident Cleveland in 1898, for the purpose

agitation of the silver question. TIL,

ate voted November l.. The bin then
passed includes n section which says:
1T Is hereby declared TO be the policy
Of the United states to continue the use
of both gold and silver as standard
money and to coin both gold and silver
into money of equal intrinsic and eN-
changeable value. such equality TO be
secured through international agree
ment or by such safeguards of legisla-
ton as will insure the maintenance OF
the parity Of value in coins Of the two
metals and the equal power of every
dollar at all times in the markets ana
in the payment of debts"
This bill also adds clause saying
that the effort Of the government
should he steadily directed to the es-
tablishment of q safe system of BIZ
metallism.'
If the Stanley Matthews resolution
is ancient history, that is not true of
the declaration for bmetallism con-
tanned in. this legislation of four years
ago Speaker Reed, Dingley, Payne,
Mnliken, in the house, Aldrich, Frye,
Hawley, Hoar, Lodge, morrill, in the
senate, are among the republicans who
voted for this declaration in favor OF
bimetallism in 1888 There isn't a
doubt in the world as to the meaning
Of the section in the bill. The Sher-
man act was not repealed as the result
of the conclusions reached in the eN-
traordnary session-the monthly pur-
chasing clause was, and the words
quoted above are an expression OF what
all the enemies of silver said at the
time. namely. that they were in favor
4 of such action by international agree
ment or otherwise. as would assure bi-
metallsm in the United States. Yet
+ Mr.. Gage has lately fought so to twist

~HI2 severest critics of Mr.. Wolcott
are the newspapers that are the
most devoted to an admnistra-
ton in which the senator himself pro-
fesses the fullest faith. These are gold
bug newspapers, of course. Their
admiration for President Mckinley,
especially since he has given Mr.. Gage
full rein, is unbounded. They are get
ting their kind of an administration,
and they resent Senator Wolcctt's
assertion that silver has any show left,
as far as the president is concerned.
These organs say that in good faith the
president tested the international con-
ference plan, that Mr.. Wolcott himself
had every opportunity in the world to
sound England, that on his own testi-
mony there is no hope for London's
cooperation. Therefore, say these
people, the international part of the
programme is exhausted. 1t will be
seen that Mr.. Wolcott's attitude is
singular. His belief respecting the
president is not shared by the silver
ties; it is utterly repudiated by the
goldbugs. He is entertaining an opin-
ion which in fact, nobody else shares
except as Senator Chandler and two or
three other men profess 10 share il.
The Coloradan's awkward attitude is
that there are two sides 10 the silver
question and he cannot show that he is
ON either side.
