little stock in that disaYowal Of any

who dared to criticise him passed I'M
der the rod of his discipline UNTIL at
last, the entire press gallery was ar
rayed against him. His overt acts as
speaker were of constant occurrence;
he lost the respect of the members of
his own party; he was sustained only
for the sake Of that party, and there
was unanimous sense Of relief ap-
parent on both sides of the house when
the Forty-seventh congress approach
ed its close. accompanied by the
assurance that his odious dominancy
In the speakers chair was for
ever after impossible. The For
ty-eighth congress was overwhelm-
ingly Democratic, and Speaker
Carlisle was chosen as his successor.
Keifer personally solicited the empty
honor of denomination by his party
for the speakership as ''vindication,"
and it was grudgingly given him. A
subsequent investigation by the COM
mittee on accounts into some of his
acts as speaker resulted in a unani-
nous report. There was a legal point
raised as to the right of one congress
to review the acts of speaker of a
preceding house.: but as compromise,
and in order to secure unanimity, the
report was worded SO as to carry with
it a rebuke, while the accompanying
testimony was allowed to tell it's own
story and the reader left to measure
the character of Keifer for himself.
Gen. Henry V. Boynton, then the
Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette.qwas. conspicuous in the
punishment Eof .Keifer; and. severe
punishment it proved to be, inasmuch
as that report has, since that time,
constantly deprived him of another
nomination to congress.
The characteristic weakness revealed
by President Mckinley in connection
with some of his appointments to the
army has not surprised those familiar
with his amiable qualities. He is pass
ing through an experience similar to
that which was forced upon Mr.. Lin
coin at the beginning of the Civil war;
But Mr.. Lincoln was, to use his own
words, always ready to correct errors
when he knew them to be. errors. This
is obviously an error of Mr.. McKin-
ley's voluntary commission and no one
need suppose that he will hastily cor
rect it. Furthermore, it goes without
saying that, Notwithstanding the Of
fensiveness of the error, the senate will
proceed to confirm it.

A Plethora of Gold.

According to treasury department
statistics there has been imported by
the United States of gold cola
and bullion thus far during the
present fiscal year ending June 30)
$105. 900. 900. The exports have amount
ed to $15,000,000, leaving q net gain to
our stock Of gold CT approximately $780,
100000. with a reasonably fair expecta-
ton that by the time the accounts come
to be made I'D for the entire fiscal
year. at the close of the present month,
the total amount will have been swelled
to a round $100,000.0OO This is a greater
volume of gold, it is said, than has ever
been imported into this country within
any preceding year Of It's history.
The coinage Of gold in our minis
amounted. during the ten months end
ing April 80 last to s50.013432. The in
dications now are that by the close Of
the present fiscal year the total volume
Of gold coinage will reach the sum of
S65.0OO.0O0. There is included in this
latter amount proportion of gold bull
lion which entered from abroad; but
the estimate is made that after deduct
ing this amount the total gain to the
nations gold currency. by importation
and coinage. during the twelve months
between July 1, 1897, and June 80, 1898,
will round out a full $500 ,O00.
1t is also worthy of note that, mean
while. the use Of gold in the daily tran
saction Of business has greatly increas-
ed. as, for instance, during the month
Of April, Of the customs payments at
the New York custom house. so per cent
were in gold, while during the first
twenty days in May the amount thus
paid equaled rs per cent, whereas, for
several years previous to 1898, such pay
p1ents did not average more than 1 per
cent in gold coin. The increase in the
payment Of customs duties in gold, in
New York, is attributed by the authori-
ties to the movement Of paper money
in connection with payments for grain
in the West, as well as it's use in other
departments Of trade in the interior.
| and also to the withdrawal by Western
| and Southern banks Of deposits in New
York, owing to apprehensions which
existed In those sections as to the
effects of the Spanish-American war
on general business.

An Oiious Resurrection.

The longer one reflects upon it, the
deeper grows the sense of chagrin,
modification and even of disgust over
the appointment by President McKin-
ley of J. Warren Keifer, of Ohio, as
major general of volunteers in the
United States army. A little more than
fifteen years have passed since this
man descended from the chair of the
speaker of the national house Of rep
resentatives, scorned and despised by
every decent and self-respecting mem
Der of that body serving with him in
the Forty-Seventh congress. President
Mckinley was himself representa-
tive in that congress, from the same
state; and it would be a reflection
upon his own sense of manhood and
decency to doubt that he shared the
opinion of his colleagues generally with
regard to the asinine qualities, the su-
perlative hoggishness and the absolute
Indifference to the proprieties Of con-
duct evinced by the presiding officer
of that house. Nor can the president
solace himself with the belief that
Keifers record has been forgotten in
the lapse of years. The strongest evil
dence of the incorrectness of that the
Dry is manifest in the action of the
eX-speaker's constituents themselves,
who, Notwithstanding his subsequent
persistent efforts, upon divers occa-
sions. to secure a denomination at the
hands Of the Republicans of his dis
trict, have, figuratively speaking, in
variably slapped him in the face and
Oh, TOD Ii S,oly ix,s0,
the obscurity he so justly merited
1t is out of this obscurity that Presi-
dent Mckinley has lifted Keifer; and
by creating him a major general he
delivers a direct insult to every volun-
teer soldier who may be required to
serve under that offensive commander.
1t is not enough to say that Keifer
was, himself, a worthy soldier during
the War Of the Rebellion, and that he
received wounds in battle. There are
doubtless men who, since that war
closed, have not been able to keep out
Of the penitentiary, but who, at the
same time, have equal claims upon
their countrymen for patriotic service
we'll performed. Furthermore, 1t might
perhaps also be truthfully said in their
behalf that, had they possessed the
opportunities Of Keifer in the matter
of securing back pension, they might
have avoided the paths Of evil and
be in the enjoyment of their liberty
today.
During the war, Keifer was conspic-
uously vainglorious: in short, of very
much the same kidney as Gen. Alger.
He was always a courtier of the news
paper correspondents, and everlastingly
pursuing them in order to secure glow
ing descriptions of his exploits in their
| dispatches; and his qualities were
measured and weighed accordingly, as
are those Of all other self-seekers OF
the same variety. When he entered
congress he adopted the same tactics;
but after he became speaker the swell
ing of his head began. his fool nature

United States Treasurer Muhieman, at
New York, this wealth of gold is most
opportune to this country. inasmuch as
the government will soon appear as
borrower. on account of the war debt
about to be incurred, which ordinarily
would have the effect Of making money
dear and causing a rise in the rates
of interest Mr. Muhleman estimates
that $20.000.000 of gold will come into
the United States from the Klondike
with the opening Of navigation. He
looks also for material increase in the
output of Colorado and other mining
states He says the clearing house peo-
pie are making efforts to extend their
facilities for handling the increased
gold that 1t is believed will pour into
San Francisco from different sources.
including Australia, the surplus Of
which will find its way, inevitably, to
the East. These extraordinary condi-
tions he argues, will have the effect of
counteracting any tendency to tight
ening of the money market, inasmuch
as the banks already have an album
dance.
The current year has certainly been
remarkable one, thus far, and In
nothing more so than the strange and
almost magic development of a wealth
OF gold after SO recent and so extend
ed a period of eXhausting depression.
1t begins to look as if the prophecies
made by some students of the subject
during the late national political cam
paign, to the effect that the conditions
of the world, so far as they bore upon
the uses Of the precious metals as cur
rency, would adjust themselves through
natural processes, in the future as they
had always done in the past, through
out the history of the world.

the regular troops were ready two weeks
before war was declared to take the field at
two hours notice. And in many cases they
did SO. They were also living in the field

Were hampered by no hulls of steel.
Then war was on timber Ike L.

Ships clinched and men fought heel to heel.

OF bravery and reckless zeal.
When frigates flared their mammoth shests
Like wings above the woe and veal
OF strife, and smoke-grimed men could feel
The jar OF meeting bulls. and ran
With cutlasses defeat to deal
No more We battle man to. man.

It's foe today with shots that reel
From armored decks, and science meets
With might. to turn grim fortunes wheel
Through distances that half reveal
Deaths fierce aerial caravan
And ruins blackened. sprawlirg seal

Wherein to science heroes kneel?

DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
GRAND.

Balfe's bohemian Girl was given an in
depreciation yesterday at the Grand that was
beyond the ordinary in amateur productions
in that it was rendered with degree OF in
telligent appreciation of the meaning Of the
music that was entirely adequate. Moreover
it was tunefully sung, In general, ana well
costumed.
The opera was produced by Mr.. Henry De
Lorme and there were in the cast a number
of capable people most of whom have been
pupils of Mr.. De Lorme's, and there was a
very large attendance at the matinee per-
forrnance and fairly good crowd in the
evening. .--.-+.-.. --,7..-..,.
Mrs Allan Krieger sang the Gypsy
Queen and sang it particularly we'll, some
Of the numbers being repeatedly encored.
The quality of her voice is peculiarly adapt
ed to the tragic tone of the music and she
was at times really fine.
The honors of the performance were car
ried off by Miss Aveline Foley, as Airline.
Her voice is quite beautiful in its mezzo
tones, and she sang 81 Dreamt 1 Dwell In
Marble Halls so effectively that she was re-
called until she was no longer able. physical
ly, to respond. She received a number OF
very handsome floral tributes.
The Count Arnheim of Mr.. E. j. Connell
was generally good though It was evident
that his singing suffered from lack of usage
to the stage; his Hearts Bowed Down"
showing that he has great power in the trans
lation of musical thought.
Mr.. ]. E. Mccartney took the male honors,
doing capital work both in acting and sing
ing. His voice is not powerful, but his pres
ence and dramatic appreciation Of the part
helped him wonderfully.
Mr. De Lorme sang "Devishoof. His
makeup attested the singers familiarity
with the stage. quite as much as did his act
ing and singing.
Mr.. Carl Dreher, Mr.. Bert Arrivee. Mr.. Abe
Arrivee and Miss Lottie Arriyee made up the
rest of the cast and they were all very ac-
ceptable in their parts.
The opera was particularly well sustained
by large orchestra, under the direction of
Mr.. Selling, and was altogether the most SUE
cessful of recent amateur events of the kind.
