CoPPERHEADs.-Se Chandler,
who is now in Washington, said:
"The only reason why Secretary AL
ger was selected for attack instead of
the bureau chiefs of the War Depa, t.
ment, who are irresponsible parties,
is because the Democrats think party
capital may be made by attacking him
while it cannot be made by attacking
them. But the attack is none the
less without reason. The investiga-
ton which the President has wisely
ordered, by able and impartial men
no wiser or more fearless man exists
than Gen. Granville M. Dodge-wilI
show what mistakes have been m de;
and it will appear that few have been
made by the Secretary, and all by
army officers, who are not politicians
and for whom the politicians are not
responsible So the attempt to make
party capital by exhibiting to the
world national sores, if there are any,
will react upon its authors, and the
democrats for their unpatriotic cry
will lose ten votes in 1900 where they
gain one in 1898. They started to be
this time patriotic war party, aud
not, as before, copperhead party.
They are in danger of ending in the
garb Of banded malcontents, belit-
Ting the war and treating it only as
an excuse for petty partisan assaults
which should find no place in connec-
ton with our magnificent battles for
the expulsion of cruel Spain from the
American continent, and from the
Philippines. as we'll.

AT MANILA.-Maj. Gen. Francis V.
Greens arrived in Washington this
week, direct from Manila. While
Gen. Greene will not talk about mat
ters that are covered in his official re-
port, now in the hands of the Presi-
dent, he tells mpny interesting things
about Manila and our troops there
He says our men are comfortably
quartered, all under roof, and that
their general health is good. When
asked how the American soldiers got
along with the natives Gen. Greene
replied: every we'll, indeed. The
men have liberty for a mile from
their barracks, aud they mingle with
the natives in friendly fashion. They
seem tc accommodate themselves to
circumstances with the least possible
annoyance. The natives on their
part, are we'll disposed, and the in
surgents, so far as found them, were
tractable and anxious to please US.
We lived beside them for some time
and had no tro able with them. They
are peaceably disposed people

CURRENCY REFORM.
Report OF the Committee OF the Amer

At the closing days session OF the
American Economic Association Conven-

report OF the special committee on Bank

chairman; Professor F.. w. Taussing. Of
Harvard ]. w. jerks, of Cornell Uni
versity; Sidney Sherwood. Of Johns Hop
kins, and David Knelly, of University OF
Illinois. The report in part is as fol-
lows:
Despite the fact that much improve
ment has taken place within two or
years years, there still exists real need
for monetary and banking reform in the
United States. The standard OF value
upon which the whole system rests Is by
no means as secure as Ii should be. The
circulating note system Is still greatly
lacking In elasticity. Adequate banking
facilities for newer. or more backward,
districts are still wanting. In the system
as a whole there Is notable lack of
unity and organization.
Under existing conditions. the only
wise and consistent policy FOR the United
States Is the frank recognition OF the
fact that the actual monetary standard
is now and for some time TO come Will
be- gold and the adoption OF legislation
which shall insure the entire Statthty OF
that standard until such time as the
nation may have decided to establish
