The report that the Indian minis are

frmation, as well as probability. The
rejection by the government OF the de-
tendency, of the overtures Of the

was so positive in its terms, and OF SO
recent origin, that little ground for en-
couragement is left that a change has
taken place in the convictions Of those
who rule the country and control it's
policies.
And it is quite as unlikely that either
France or the United States as stated,
has "evinced willingness to change
the ratio from sixteen 10 one to twen-
ty-two TO one There is nobody in
this country authorized TO offer in adj
vance any such concession, or any con-
cession whatever. " a change is ever
made, IL is more likely to be TO fifteen
and half TO one, to correspond TO the
old-world ratio, than to % or any
other arbitrary figure necessitating
rscoinage of all The silver dollars in ex-
istence.
II is quite as certain. however, that
India can never be placed upon the
gold standard, for the very obvious
reason that the goldin sufficient guam
tity is not procurable for that purpose.
The attempt thus far has met only
with failure and encouragement. The
| present chaotic condition is likely TO
continue in the empire for some time,
and until all Of the makeshifts have
been exhausted, and the folly Of trying
TO do business on gold basis without
the gold is fully demonstrated
Bimetallists ever contend that there
is not enough of the yellow metal in
existence to base the worlds credit
upon-a self-evident proposition to all
except those who will not see-and
their conviction upon this score only
increases the complacency with which
they watch the evolution of the theory.
The population OF India is four times
that of the United States. Silver is
the traditional money of the people.
To discard the one natal and adopt
the other is much easier recomme nde ID
than accomplished. When gold be-
comes so plentiful that II can be de-
pended upon TO carry the burden now
borne by both, India may be placed
upon the single standard-not before.
The time is not rapidly approaching.
The real ratio in the production of the
two metals has not been materially
changed. nor is II likely to be. Any va
ration noted in one decade is likely 20
be reversed in the next. just now the
increased production of gold and the
decreased production Of silver is again
bringing the metals together, after an
enforced enlargement. due TO dis

AS TO ALGERISM.
Net Political Prejudice. Hat Psblse
Demand That Arraigns the
War Department.

The hue and cry that has been raised
against the mismanagement OF the
war department was taken up at the
outset by representative newspapers
of both parties All along. however.
the press has had nothing but praise
for Mr.. McKinley's personal attitude
during the war.
The scandalous blunders which
married the Santiago campaign and
developed later in every camp OF
mobilization began in the war depart
ment and should have ended with the
removal of Secretary Alger. Repub-
lican newspapers. partisan organs OF
the megaphone variety excepted, were
not slow TO find the cause of the
trouble. They printed the facts as
told in news dispatches and exploited
them editorially without reflection
upon the ability or motives of the
president.
These newspapers are still clamor'
Gus for the truth. They would sustain
the president and punish the guilty.
The most rabid politician would not
manufacture evidence from a theme
SO unpopular as the inability of our Of
ficials TO care for our soldiers The
poverty. ignorance and cruelty OF the
methods followed by the war depart
ment are not good material upon
which to base a political issue, nor
would the most reckless partisan or
gan advance charges so repulsive to
American pride without being sure of
| its ground.
Disagreeable as II Is. the misman-
agement of the war department Is a
fact. The Hannacrat apologists admit
that Secretary Alger was unfit for the
position he held. without occupying.
before and during the war. To the
demands of the public and press &c n
orally, they shrek charges of polit-
zeal prejudice, overlooking CT con-
cealing the fact that the more intelli-
gent publications of their own party
also demand truth and justice in the
case at issue. As much of the truth as
could be CLEANED from personal OBJ
servation and private sources has
been printed fearlessly. What al
fair-minded people want is all the
truth and nothing more nor less. IL
so happens that this can come only
from a republican administration.
Thus far public Indignation against
Algerism is anything but partisan
howl. The insolent mouthings of mer
like Senator Hanna and Steve Elkin'
are calculated TO direct public senti
ment against the administration o.
which they are a part. and TO force
the president and his party TO make
common cause against the popular
will. The persistence with which Mr.
Mckinley clings TO his so-calle'
friends without regard TO their merit
or the rights OF the people is anothe
influence which will not fail TO brinl
odium upon the republican party. ]
this should be the result of his allege
determination to shield his friend a
ger the controversy may grow into
national issue, but Mr. Mckinley ca
blame nobody but himself and his ba
advisers.-St. Louis Republic.
