As to, Money Metals.
From the New York Sun Rep).

Another correspondent, befogged on the
currency question, writes to us in defense
of Director of the Mint Roberts. He says:
Suppose, tomorrow, all the govern
ments of the world should say, We will
coin no more gold. We will use platinum
and iridium Isn't it evident that the
value of gold would soon drop to one-half
IT'S present value as one-half the demand
for il would be gone? And would no.
platinum and iridium Immediately jump
in price? And If silver had been chosen
instead of platinum and iridium, would it
not jump in price?"
All the governments in the world might
refuse 70 coin gold and it still would be
used by the people of the world as money,
and the demand for il would not diminish.
1t was used for money long before gov
ernments coined il, and 1t viii be so used
whatever they do. In the days when there
were no coming facilities In California.
gold dust passed by weight. as in China
silver does. Nor could any government
compel people to use platinum and iridium
for money Platinum cannot DE melted.
and, as well as iridium, it is produced in
too small quantities to supply the place
Of gold. Nor can governments compel peO-
pie to use silver for money exclusively.
In this country, the government has coin
ed $4,000 0O0 silver dollars, but has sue
ceeded I'm getting only 63,O00,000 of them
into circulation. The deprecated legal
tenders. during the war. did not prevent
the continued use OF gold nor make II
worth any less than Il was before they
were issued. our correspondent exagger-
ates the power OF legislation, and disre-
CARDS that Of nature.

THE TREATY AND THE SENATE.

Representative Lester, just before start
ing for Washington, seid that it was by
no means certain that the peace treaty
would be ratified. II is not going to be an
easy matter to get two-thlrds of the sena-
tors TO vote for the treaty. Still, 1t is
probable that the treaty Will be ratified.
The House, of course, has nothing to do
with the ratification of it, but it viii have
something to do. with appropriating the
$40 100000 which we are to give Spain for
relnquishing her sovereignty in the Pills
ippines. No doabt there will be strong OPP
position to paying that or any other
amount of money TO Spain.
The arguments which will be brought TO
bear in favor of ratifyiug the treaty and
carrying out all of its provisions are of a
character that will most likely prevail
with Congress. The treaty win not be
ratified and the necessary appropriation of
money made without a long ana PERHAPS
warm debate. There is a wide difference
of opinion as to the wisdom of taking pos
session of the Philippines, and there is
very pronounced opposition to paying any
thing for them.
1t will be argued, however. that to reject
the treaty would be 20 invite very serious
trouble-trouble that might cost several
times the amount which we are to pay
Spain. There would not, of course, be any
danger of further war with Spain, because
Spain is not in a condition to engage in
war with us, but refusal to ratify the
treaty would cause distrust in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines. Our purpose to
establish stable governments in these ISL
ands would give the DISCONTINUED portions
of their populations opportunities for stir
ring up discomfort from which outbreaks
of violence might occur. To restore order
might be very costly undertaking.
Therefore it is probable that after the
treaty has been fully discussed it will be
ratified

The report from London is that two

of dollars, are Likely to become members
of the British nobility through marriage

said to be almost upon the eve of entering
the royal set by becoming the wife of
Prince Francis of Teck, brother of Eng
lands future queen No engagement Of
the pair has been announced, but Il is said
that affairs are tending towards such an
event. The Tecks are said TO be poor.
and to need a few American Tor other)
millions very badly. Miss Pauline Aston
is the other American heiress who has a
foreign nobleman at her feet He is the
Duke of Roxburghe, of Old family. proud
title and slim purse. Why do so many
rich American women marry titled fore
igners? Is il because. having wealth and
all that wealth can purchase, they desire

that is the case. then would IL seem as II
our government would have TO create n
few rtes IN order 10 keep the girls and

MIR. M'DONoUGH's ANTI-POOL BILL.

Yesterday the Senate killed Mr.. Melon
ough's bill making gambling punishable
by imprisonment on the chain-gang in
stead of by fine. The opposition TO The
bill as far as appeared upon the surface
came from those who think that law
prohibiting pool rooms under penalty of
the chain-gang would interfere with the
success of county aud country fairs, in
asmuch as il would prevent betting on
horse races, which in turn would prevent
such races. Races, they say, are great
drawing cards at the fairs, besides which
they have a tendency to encourage the
breeding of fine horses. To strike a blow
at betting, therefore, according to their
argument would be to strike blow at
the horse breeding industry of the state,
and thus injure the agricultural element.
The reason last mentioned is ancient and
erroneous The whole line of argument, it
seems to us, is extremely weak. If Il
is true that playing the races" is a good
thing for. the fairs and the farmers. then
IL ought 10 be licensed; and not only should
pool selling and pool rooms be legalized,
but other forms of gambling should be put
upon the same basis and the whole govern
ed by legal supervision as the liquor busl-
ness is governed.
Under existing conditions the gambling
prohibition law is legal farce, the chief
fruits of which are fines and fees The
lines operate practically az a license, for
something which is forbidden by the law.
The gambler is arrested, fined and re-
leased, and straightway he returns 10 his
game. When a certain period of time has
elapsed he is arrested. fined and released
again, and once more he goes on with the
book making or the dealing In this coun-
ty the same parties have been carried
through the mill repeatedly. and doubtless
look forward TO the time when they viii
be grist for the legal hopper again. In
deed, it has been alleged that at one time
in this county when gamblers had not the
ready cash to pay their fines their notes
of hand, properly Endorsed, would be ac-
copied and considered as full vindieation
of the majesty of the lawl
Now. Mr.. McDonough's bill. as we I'M
derstand 1t, was for the purpose of making
the anti-gambling law effective. If the
penalty were Imprisonment in the chain
gang instead of a fine, the law would be-
come effective Immediately upon a con-
sistent effort being made 10 enforce IT,
If the object of the antiagamblng law is
to break up gambling. then it is travesty
to operate fine-license system. If gam
bling is a good thing for horse breeding
and other farm interests, then il should be
legalized and gamblers should not be SUBJ
jected to the injustice of $500 or 81 900
fine each six months, but all should be
given licenses for not too burdensome
fee. MIR. McDonough's bill drew the line.

FROM the chicago Chronicle Dem)

The ladies OF Macon, Ga, are somewhat
discouraged at the failure of their public
prayers to secure victory for the anti
prohibition ticket last Thursday. They
can't account for the result, but there
doesn't appear to be any mystery about
IL. Omnipotence was either not interested
in the prohibition question orNd'dn't care
70 interfere with free ballot and a fair
count. 1t may be, too, that the Intiite Be
ing doesn't shape his actions at the sm-
portunity of finite creatures, no. matter
how pious. There are several ways of
accounting for the Macon ladies' disap-
pointment.
