THE REPORT OF TIE MONETARY
COMMISSION.

The Monetary Commission, which has
boon IN session in Washington for some
months past. and has just made it's re-
port, was not an official body. 1t was
appointed by the monetary convention
held about year ago in indianapolis.
which did not spring from any action of
Congress or the Administration. Never
Fheless, on account of the high standing
of the gentlemen who composed that con-
ventlon and the commission, this re-
port is entitled TO the careful considera-
zion of Congress, to whom no doubt it
will in some way be presented. The re-
port is radical in its recommendations.
The programme it maps out looks to the
complete extinction of government issues
of paper money, and the devolving Of
chat function entirely upon the banks,
which, to enable them to properly dis
charge it, are to be given greater latitude
and be subjected to fewer arbitrary re-
striotions. OF course the report takes
the ground that the only safe course for
the gold standard and to stop the fur
rher coinage OF silver dollars.
Ii is not at all probable that the recon-.
mendations of this report will all of them
be accepted By Congress. Many of them
would not command the support even of
Twhilessof course the advocates of free sill
yer win Oppose nearly ell of them. The
retirement of the green backs is one of the
recommendations that there is no possi-
bility that Congress will assent to, and
the enlargement OF the powers and priv
sition. But whether it be accepted or
rejected, it is going to be Of great value
to the country as an educator. The able
and clear arguments which accompany it
will, if studied, correct q good many
of the false notions which prevail about
money, and currency. and the banks.
Much of the difficulty which we are expe-
riencing in our efforts to reform the cur
renoy Is the outcome of faulty education,
or want of education.of the masses in the
fundamental principles of finance; and
the notion that prevails among them that
enc experts IN thiS supleot aFo al1 ulshoH-
est, and are laboring for a systsm which
will benefit the few at the expense of tho
many. Before we can reform our cur
rency as it ought to be reformed, and
plant 1T on solid and permanent basis,
this faulty education and this false no
ton must lie in large measure eradioated;
and one OF the conspicuous merits of such
documents as the report of this commits
sion lies in the fact that they are potent
means to those ends.

MONTHLY DEBT STATEMENT.

Washington, January s.-The monthly
statement of the public debt issued today
shows that at the close of business De-
ceInber 81, 1897, the debt less cash in the
treasury amounted to 5000, III ,567, a de-
crease for the month of SO, ia. 800. This
decrease in the debt is due principally to
an increase in the cash which is accounted
for by the sale of the Union Pacific rail-
road. Following is a recapitulation Of the
debt; Interest bearing debt, $Sl7 1855, 500
debt on which interest has ceased since
maturity, 81, $3.50, 97U; debt bearing no
interest, $38, S90,46 Total, 81 ,2s4, $50, 1886.
This amount however, does not include
1915, 956, 9a3 in certificate and treasury
notes outstanding, which are Ioffset by
an equal amount of cash in the treasury.
The cash in the treasury in classified
as follows: Gold, $i97, AGO, 235; silver,
$507, 1901 ,6s4; paper. $l05. 331 1901; bonds,
| disbursing officers balances, etc., $780,

The success of the anti-Hanna Republi-
cans In defeating the Hanna candidates
for President of the Senate and Speaker
of the House is astonishing. 1t seemed
hardly possible that O man who was
recognized as the particular friend of the
national administration and who had
received the Endorsement of the Republic
can State Convention for Senator could be
beaten, especially as his defeat involved
union between his Republican opponents
and the Democrats. That it is in a fair
way to accomplishment shows that there
is q tremendously bitter personal antagon-
ism to Mr.. Hanna, which is determined
to make itself felt no matter at what cost
The leader of this antagonis1n has I'M
doubtedly been Mr. Charles Kurtz, the
former chairman of the Republican State
committee, whom Mr.. Hanna alienated
and converted into bitter enemy by his
rough, if not brutal, treatment of him,
at the Last State convention. Evidently
Gov. Bushnell has been in secret sympathy
with kurtz's purpose from the start but
refrained until after election from
giving open cid lest he himself might be
defeated. Now that he is safe he has
drawn his knife and along with Kurtz is
openly fighting against Mr. Hanna. Ohio
Republicans have always been split up
into factions, but never before have their
quarrels been carried to such an extent IS
now. What the outcome of the present
row win be on the senatorsh1p question
no one can predict, but that Hanna will
not be returned to the Senate seems
highly probable. By combining with
Democrats in organizing the Legislature
the anti-Hanna Republicans have burned
their bridges and they cannot now easily
retreat.

The Surprise OF All.

Mr.. James Jones, Of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowdeu, ILL.,, in speaking
Of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
La Grippe, and her case grew SO serious
that physicians at Cowden and Para
could do nothing for her. It seemed to
develop into hasty consumption. Having
DR.. Kings New Discovery in store, and sell
ling lots of it, he took a bottle home, and
to the surprise of all she began to get
better from first dose, and half dozen
dollar bottles cured her sound and we'll.
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, Coughs and Colds is guaranteed to
do this good work. Try it. Free trial

The manner in which the State of In

meantime incurred. In striking contrast
with the methods most prevalent in the

John W. Gates, of the Illinois Steel
Company, predicts that 1898 will be the
best business year known in the United
States during tae decade which it ends
The pig iron turned out in December
was more than in any other in the his
tory of the country, according to Mr.
Gates, and the demands for iron and
steel for home use and deportation ars
quite phenomenal. No better indices
could be found, and they argue general
prosperity all along the line.

The loom fxers at Fall River created
somewhat of surprise when they recent
ly voted to accept the reduction in wages
1t was thought that the strike spirit
among this particular body of workmen
was so strong that all attempts to concili.
ate them would prove abortive. Under all
the circumstances OF the case it is hardly
fair to assume that the manufacturers
are prompted solely by false prudence and
greed, and the loom fxers did perhaps
the proper thing and were guided by good
business sense.

HILLS" IS IDENTIFIED
HE ONCE STOLE 100000 IN DIAMONDS
IN NEW YORK.
Served n Term for the Crime-Is
Wanted Again--NOw at the
WOrlhOuse.

According to telegram received yester-
day afternoon by the police department
from Captain MoClusky. of the New York
detective bureau "John G.. Hills" gentle
manly confidence man, is as good a crook
the police have all alerg supposed him to
be. The telegram said: John Hills was
arrested here under the name of James c..
Hart for the larceny of $40 900 worth Of dia-
monds.a Feb 5, 1897, he got eighteen months
in state prison. We want him here"
Hills was led before Police Judge Cox
yesterday morning to be tried on the
charge of being a confidence man and at
tempting to defraud several young men by
the employment game" He was cool and
smiling, and when the judge gave him per-
mission to plead for himself he stepped
quickly before the bar, and, laying his silk
hat carefully on a table, began examina-
ton of the detectives who had dealt with
his case The detectives were inclined to be
pert with Hills, but he remained unruf-
fled. Every witness made the case against
him stronger When the trial was con-
cluded, the judge pronounced sentence of
500 fine and costs and thirty days in the
workhouse Hills only smiled and bowed.
His dcneanor has won the admiration of all
who have been concerned in his case.
Superintendent of Police Quigley replied
to the telegram from New York by saying
that Hills had been. sentenced in Police
Court, and that If he is wanted for serious
crime in New York he will be turned over
to the authorities of that city on presenta-
ton of a warrant: or, If it seems more ad-
visable, Hills need not be rearrested until
his time here is served out.
The discovery of the true identity of Hill
lis is, superintendent Quigley says, an
other example Of the success and value Of
the Bertillon System. When Hills was ar
rested the police felt that they had man
who had done crooked work before and was
a clever criminal. He was we'll dressed and
polished in manner and resisted laughingly
all efforts to sweat admissions from him.
He showed that he had the advantage of
education Photographs of both the front
and side views of1his face were taken and
his mea surements bye the fBertillOn system
were recorded. Copies of the photographs
and the Bertillon measurement record were
sent to the headquarters of the National
Bureau of Identification, at Chicago, TO
Washington and to New York There was
reason to believe that Hills had done work
in Washington for he had limitations of the
cards of President MeKinley's assistant pri-
vate secretary. No replies were received
either from Chicago or Washington, but the
detective bureau of New York was quick to
recognize Hills by the information fur
nished. Now Hills record Is on file at
the headquarters of the National Bureau
of Identification, andrthe next time he turns
up in the criminal world; If he ever does,
a message from Chicago will bring a record
of Hiliss doings and description OF him
that will be accurate always.

Deputy United States Marshal Branham
yesterday brought to the county jail from
Anderson. Clyde Fletcher. alias Paul An
drews colored. who is wanted in the Indian
Territory for murder. Few of the details
of the sffair are known 10 the officers who
made the arrest, but the federal warrant
specifics that he shot and killed William
Nave with a Winchester rifle ut Vinita, in
the Cherokee Nation. some time ago. Nave
was shot in the back of the head and killed
instantly.
Fletcher, or Andrews. claims to have been
a pig sticker at Armour's packing house
in Chicago. and denies that he is the man
wanted by the Indian Territory authorities.
He has been in Jail at Anderson for some
time, having been convicted on the charge
of burglary. and was to have been SEN
fenced by the court yesterday. In Il round
about way, however. IL was learned a few
days ago that he had beeen in the Choctaw
Nation. and as he answered the description
of the man the federal authorities are look
ing for. the government was notified. A
deputation of men from the nation who are
familiar with Fletcher will arrive in the
city in a few days. and if he is Identified
il Is probable the Anderson sentence for
burglary will be held In allegiance. as IL he
is tried and convicted In the Territory II is
