THE ENIL AND TIE REMEDY.

The New York Evening Post says:
There seems to be a very substantial
body of opinion in Richmond, Va, IN
favor of the Monetary Commissions
plan OF currency reform. The Richmond
Times OF February 9Th, had leading ar
ticle entitled "The Republicans Opportu-
nifty" I'm which d argued that 10 was
possible for the party in power 10 Sc
riously cripple the free silver movement
IN tho South by adopting such amend
ments TO The banking laws as would
make the issue of bank notes more elias
tic and responsive to the needs OF busi-
ness than ID is now. Politicians, IL says,
are using the silver question as means
TO ride into Office. but the great body OF
free silver advocates In the South are
such merely because they see no other
relief from the present stin and angu-
lar system OF national bank issues. IL
thinks that IL the Republican party
would address itself resolutely TO the
question Of bank reform. the free silver
question might be permanently retired
from the field OF politics.
The Times is doing its best to impress
this fact-to impress II alike upon the
advocates Of free coinage ard the advo-
Gates Of the gold standard II is a slow
work, ana sometimes we feel DISCOURAGED
but that the cause Of free banking Is
growing every day furnishes additional
proof.
We do not deny that the advocates Of
free coinage have just ground for
complaint against the system of cur
roncy now in existence We do not pooh

The Mexican President Diaz, must be "A
very remarkable man. We hear all the
time. nothing but praise Of him from
Mexicans as well as strangers.
Mr. r. X. Abrams. Of tho city OF
Mexico. was in Washington, 20 few days
back. and, to a reporter he said:
at IS 10 be hoped that President Diaz
will carry out his intention of Visiting
the United States this spring.
General Diaz has done for Mexico an
amount Of good that IS simply incalcul-
able lie has given IL stable and
prosperous government for twenty years.
and this has resulted chiefly through his
own splendid personal qualities 'and en-
lightened craftsmanship. lie is one of
tho bravest purost and wisest of the
noted men Of this age. I'm his time the
work of ccmenting the two Republics I'm
friendly relations and Of joining them
by close commercial ties has been sue
cessfully carried out Railroads unite
the two countries ana business inter-
course has increased enormously. This.
too. has been largely owning 20 his
bonehcent influence when he reaches
Washington he should he accorded re-
''pt'i luuN HN'NuAt" W lI' hi'iit' va
the man. and on scale of such magnih-
cence as would be extended TO any Of
the crowned heads OF Europe Indeed,
there Is not sovereign of the old word
that is one whit the superior OF Diaz."
We hope President Diaz may make us
his contemplated visit. The two Re
publics are in the most perfect accord
upon all public questions except silver
and when President Daz comes here and
compares what the gold standard does
in contrast with what tho silver stand
ard prevents Mexicans from doing. he
may bring the Mexicans over to the sold
standard.

Having decided that it was his duty

Having decided that 1t was his duty
to pay his respects. the gallant Captain
!, forgot about the hundred guns still
thrndering from the forts. Twenty
seamen manned barge and, accom-
panied by Flag lieutenant Trenchard,
he was rowed across the shot-swept
river. AS they approached the Eng
lish flagship Chinese shot struck one
of the oars, crashed through the boat,
and tore its way out below the water
line. Flying splinters mortally wound
ed Coyswain Hart and injured the Flag
Lieutenant. The crew scrambled from
the sinking barge and were dragged
aboard the gunbOat. Here they beheld
terrible scene of carnage. More than
half the gnnners lay dead and the decks
were slippery with blood While Cap
tain Tattnall paid his respects TO the
British Admiral the American seamen,
quite contrary to orders. sprang to the
British guns, ramned home the shells,
and the flagship spoke again to the en-
emy's fort. The exhausted gunners set
up wild cheer of approval and with
renewed hope worked side by side with
the Americans.
The Toey-wan now returned to the
task. OF bringing ZIP the British re-
serve, continuing far, into the night.
At s o'clock a storming party of 600
marines were landed on the muddy
shore. They waded three terrible
trenches sown with caltrops and
cheered half way up the embankment
in the face of mprderous fire OF jim
gals and Mimic balls, Hours later 400
of them came struggling back, full
third of the force having been killed
or wounded
Again the American ship came To the
rescue. It gathered up the MANNED
mangled and muddy bodies of the Eng
lish marines and with its own dead
coXswai;i dropped back across the bar
in the gray of the early morning. In
the meantime Captain Tattnall had
sent Lieutenant Johnson with the Pow
hatan to the aid Of the British ships
outside the bar, and all night Of the
26th he served under the union jack,
carrying the defeated marines and
wounded seamen to places of safety,
OF 1850 men of the allied fleets who
went into action 450 were killed and
wounded including 30 officers. In the
course of the battle the British Ad-
| miral shifted his flag no fewer than
three times.
Captain Tattnall's act was Il distinct
violation of neutrality, but the Ameri-
can people received him on his return
from China with honors such as have
seldom fallen TO an officer of his rank.
Later he was formally thanked by the
English Secretary CT state. for Foreign
Affairs in the name Of her Majesty and
by the Lords Commissioners OF the
British Admiralty.
