As TO CURRENCY REFORM.

| The Washington Post. noted for the ia
ciity with which 1t talks on all sides OF all
questions, is not one OF those who believe
the cause Of bimetallism is dead Not
| loIg since 1t conlbausd tho proposition
that silver coinage hM been permanently
eliminated as a factor in the future politics
OF the country, and now 1t suggests that
the whole thing will be presented in an
! other form In 1900. The Post says:
Tho prospect now rs that tho currency will
be at the front in fe@ slsnpe In 1905. The
Fifty-s congress will undoubtedly under-
take 10 pass currency reform bill. whether
II succeeds or fails IN the attempt, II will cre-
nte II new and very live Issue, Y Will be q
gfcenback fight, but entirely unlike that OF
1868. That was u movement for paying oil the
boudrd debt with irrcdecmable legal tenders
|, meant simply reputation, a pcrhdious
violation OF the Nations faith. Tho dolnsiso
scheme caught good many honest man. bat
1t finally fell into an ignoininious grave.
The retiTtment OF the kieenbacks now In
circulation and the substitution OF bank notes
IN their plnce--that IS the programme laid
pcnIing. aud which VIII bo forced upon the
cons tdetatiou Of the new congress. This meas
urr. ah described by the New York Evening
Post. 'contalns the substance OF working
plan to establish the gold standard. to divorce
the government from the banking business. To
relieve tho treasury Of the task of redeeming
tho stceubackE from day to day (althouRh it
remains sjill responsible Tor thrm) and to
ounblo the National banks to issue a safe and
elestic currency, equal at all times 10 the
wants Of trade
The plans of the republicans Is to turn
over 10 the National banks absolute control
Of the money supply of the country. This
plan was embodied in tho bill introduced
during the last session OF congress and
reportcd favorably by the committee on
banking and currency, and 1t is the very
essence OF the currency reform propo-
sition OF the Hanna monetary commission
Should this plan be attempted by the new
congress the currency question. rs suggest
cd by The Washington contemporary. VIII
undoubtedly assume place OF superior II
not paramount Importance.
Tho democratic party is opposed TO this
absoluusm of the banks. and The Post
believes large majority of the people of
the United States are opposed to It, Re-
duced TO simple statement 1t is plan to
benefit the banks at the expense Of the peo-
pie ana no party thatlI SO slay'shly sub
perlient to the money power as to adopt a
policy so revolutionary and so dangerous
10 the interests of the great masses can
hope to survive.
Tho currency issue will serve to
strengthen the cause OF blmctalllsm rather
than overshadow It,

NOTE AND COMMENT.


forced tho president of the United States to
break "A solemn trenty with China ard sign
an act OF congress- excluding cheap Chinese
labor.
Why7
Because It was brought home to them by
the importation of coolie slaves.
And yet organized labor Is not strong
enough 10 check the republican scheme TO
bring In 100000 PHILIPPINES besides the lla-
waiians. whose wages are lower than Chinese
laborcr ever was paid in this country. What
Is the matter with organized labor ?-I,ouis=
VILE Dispatch.
The trouble with organized labor is that in
1890 1t was deluded into electing Mckinley
president and placing the republican party In
power.
A little breeze comes up from Washington
which says that politicians In that city say
that Bailey Is to be set aside the leader
OF the minority Bailey will BE there" when
the setting aside takee place. and the country
Will hear from him.-Sherman Democrat.
OF course. Mr. Bailey has enemies, even in
his own party, it is perfectly natural that
he should have, but It Is probable that he VIII
easily be able TO retain his position of leader
of his party.
They say the popullsts helped the repub-
Leans to get one Congressman from Texas.
This sounds well for the great reform (slc)
party, but 1t was foreshadowed. II not ad-

Pennsylvania has been set aside by the SUI

court neglected the formality of asking the
prisoner whether he had anything to say be-

the respect for techncaities pretty far, unless

DR., Robert Rutherford OF Houston will be
an applicant for the position of State health
officer. 1t is scarcely to be disputed that in
connection with this position nearly every man
In Texas knows DR.. rutherford, either pcI-
sonslly or by reputation. lie is the father of
our State quarantine system. Away back in
1873. when yellow fever was raging In Louisl-
ana aud Mississippi, DR. Rutherford LAID the
foundations here at Houston for what has
since grown into an admirable State system.
He was tho first state health officer and served
in that capacity four years under Governor
Roberts aud Ike length of time under Gov
ernor Ross, But his fame as II guardian of tho
public health WAS not. nud is not, confined to
the limits OF Texas; II Is co-nxtensive with
the whole Souta. His friends will urge his
claims upon Governor Sayers. and The Post
is advised that his backing Will be strong, es-
peenlly from the exposed southeast eeclion Of
tho State rhpt 10 tho section most directly
Interested. and IL viii be urged by tho people
there that as Houston 10 made headquarters
by the State health officer during emergen-
the East, thgre can DO no valid or reasonable
objection to the said officer being q Houston
man. Dr. Rutherford stands high In his pros
fession, Possesses valuable experience in the
conduct of quarantine affairs and his ineum-
bcney OF the office would undoubtedly bring a
sense OF security to those acquainted with his
splendid record In the past.

our proposed celebration of 1900. especially
in that portion of it regarding national
building allow me. as crank number 2, to
suggest that he permit our new citizens OF
the Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico to
have representation on one corner Of his
vast structure. thereby giving an even num-
her of sides for convenience in construction
and general symmetry, while affording an
excellent and probably the only opportunity
for a great number of our present people
to make the acquaintance of their Asfatic
''brothers-in- state" One thing Is certain
however, if anything is to be accomplished
by 1900 the work should be commenced in,-
rrlediately; the building will be needed by
that time, even though the principal enter
tainment is postponed until year later in
order to embrace the inaugural ceremonies,
which in itself is q splendid idea, by the
way. 1t requires a great deal Of time TO
Ell ect building of such dimensions as pro-
posed. even In plaster; but as this should
be more or less of a permanent nature, let
the work begin at once. each state furnish
ing it's port:or of funds for the Philippine
corner while the latter's fate is pending.
No doubt the general government would
have the work in hand, and while The Star
does not seem to be entirely satisfied with
its friend across the way, it is an undisput-
ed fact that the present regime OF the
supervising architects office has turned ou.
some handsome designs, not the least Of
which Is thar for the Omaha exposition.
The thirteen original states should be
brought into prominence in the design of
our auditorium-but that Is mere matter
Of detail. l quite agree with your corre-
spondent In not wishing to see another fair
so soon. but let US get to work to devise
something new while there is yet time.
