Washington Special in Chicago Post.
Gidann w March nx-nresident of the ]

Washington Special in Chicago Post.
Gideon w. Marsh ex-president of the Key
stone Bank of Pennsylvania, who turned
up few days ago after having been fugi-
tive from justice for several years, was very
much disappointed that he was not starred
as a colossal political sensation during the
closing days of the Pennsylvania campaign.
Friends wired him that Mr.. Wanamaker had
announced in a speech that he would well
come Mr.. Marsh's return and would do all
in his power to save him from punishment
for his crimes if he would come back and
make clean breast of the inside history OF
the keystone Bank Having wearied of
exile. Marsh jumped at the chance and took
the first train east from his refuge In the
State of Washington. He evidently eX-
pected that he would receive an ovation,
that Mr.. Wanamaker would meet him at the
station with a brass band and that he would
be lionzed. Instead. he was put in jail much
as any common criminal would have been,
where he has remained for several days, I'M
back" he confided to his jailer Saturday
evening as he was being led back to his
quarters in jail after waiting In vain an
entire day for somebody TO come forward as
his bondsman. The calcium light hasn't
been turned on him once. One reason Tor this
is the prevailing belief that he has no
startling revelations to make involving peo-
pie of high standing. 1t will be comfort.
however. when he gets on the witness stand
and tells what he really knows. as 1t will
put at rest sinister gossip which has been
in circulation ever since he ran away from
justice. There has not been time in

could not put their hands on him.

duty on corn would simply mean to increase
its price to Canadians, for the reason that
Canada cannot raise as much as it con-
sumes. On the other hand all of the agri-
cultural articles which Canada produces we
raise in great abundance. To let Canada
into our markets would be equivalent to
adding to a supply which is already so great
as to create a competition that will keep
prices as low as they should be to make
production profitable. To let the hay, oats,
horses, sheep, poultry and eggs of Canada
into our large border cities like Chicago,
Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, etc, would, at
times cause a glut which would make the
production Improbable. The present tariff
is a farmers tariff; no sentiment due to a
change Of feeling in regard to Great Britain
should betray us into a softness which
would lead US to sacrifice our industries and
trade.

oLn-AGE PENSIONS.
New Zealand Provides Pensions Tor
All over Sixty-Fiye Years Of Age.

Montreal Gazette
After eleven days discussion in commit
tee at wellington the old age pension bill
has been passed on third reading in the
House of Representatives by a majority of
ten. The bill provides that every person OF
the age of sixty-hve and upward, of good
moral character, whose yearly income does
not exceed 934 and who has resided for
twenty-five years in the colony will be en-
titled to a pension of Els per annum
In New Zealand the poor have hitherto
been relieved almost entirely by the state,
charitable institutions for that purpose do
ing but a small part of the work. In 1896
bill very similar in it's provisions to the one
in question was introduced into the House
of Representatives. There 1t met with a de-
termined opposition, one amendment proVid-
ing that everybody of and over the age OF
sixty-five years should be entitled to the
pension whether he was IN need OF assist
ance or not That was a socialistic sugges-
tion that, if adopted would nave turned
the whole colony into one huge friendly so
ciety. Eventually the bill was thrown out.
In the following year fresh Dill connnlng
the pension to the poor was brought IN, ana
after hard wrangle it went through its
third reading by a majority or hfteen, only
to be thrown out by the upper house.
Still undaunted by failure, the supporters
of the principle of old-age pensions on
discriminating basis brought in a third bill
this year, and now after desperate strug-
gle for eleven days (Which in New Zealand,
allowed in committee, is a debate OF excep-
tional severity, the bill has passed It's third

1t can be said that Chairman Hernly,
of the Republican state committee, in the
management of the campaign has come up
to the expectations of his friends. He
grasped the situation when he became
chairman, and he has been able to meet it's
the dissatisfaction which is the legacy of the
party in power, he has, by the aid of his
colleagues. so wisely directed the organiza-
ton as to secure a close local organization
and to bring out full vote. He has been
faithfully assisted by Secretary Spooner and
the other officers of the committee, and he
has been aided by the general satisfaction
of the party with the work that the Repub-
lican party has performed since 1895.

Every general election has its surprises,
and that of Tuesday will probably develop
more than usual. One of the greatest was
the defeat of Representative j. H. Walker,
in the Third Massachusetts, district. He is
serving his fifth term and was elected two
years ago by II 800 majority. Though some
what "crotchety" in his opinions he is an
exceedingly well informed man and a use
full member of Congress. A study of the
causes of his defeat after his immense ma
jority of two years ago might have an in
teresting bearing on general politics. 1t
might be found that his position on the cur
rency question had something to do with it.
He is an ardent advocate of sound money
and the gold standard, but has peculiar
views on the banking question and is OPP
posed to any plan of currency reform ex-
cept his own. He came to this city in
January, 1897, to try and head off the none
tary conference, and he was opposed to the
commissions plan of currency reform and
in favor of an obsolete Massachusetts idea
known as the Suffolk plan. AS his success
full competitor is sound-money Democrat
his defeat is not gain for free silver and
may prove to be gain for practical cur
rency reform.
