PHILIPPINES POLICY
Gossip as TO the Effect of

Be Vigorous Prosecution of
The Campaign-Greaf Political
Interest is Displayed.

Washington. July 25.-The resigna-
| ton of Secretary Alger occasions con-
/ siderable speculation as to the posi-
| bility of a change of the military pol
/ icy in the Philippine campaign. Some
| people regard ii as practically assured
| that there will follow a more vigorous
prosecution of the war soon after the
installation of Mr.. Root into office.
1t IS said that General Miles does not
care 10 go to the Philippines, and
does not regard it as necessary nor
particularly desirable that he should
1t is said by those who think that he
should have more to do with the mil

proper way for the presidenS TO avail
himself of General Miles experience
and ability as a soldier is to have him
to exercise the functions of his rank,
directing the military policy and pro-
viding a plan of campaign as COM
manding general of the army at Wash

permitted to select competent COM
manders in the field and prepare a
general plan of aggressive campaign.

that the administration will be greatly

first accounts of Mnlers operations were
understatements of the truth. He had his
lines out in every direction on the waters OF
prosperity and confidence" and no sooner
did one OF his thousands Of hooks touch the
water than 1t was surrounded by greedy
shoal. He caught the day aborer and the
merchant, the politician and the policeman,
saint and sinner, rich and poor. His lists
OF "depositors" are indscriminate jumblings
Of representatives of every class except these
locked up in the jais and asylums.
Philadelphia Times: The thousands of
victims to their own folly are now quite
ready to hang Miller IL they can lay their
hands on him, which he will doubtless take
good care they shall not do, but they have
only themselves to blame Miller should be
punished as a common swindler II he can he
found but there will be other Millers to
take his place and work his swinde as long
as there are fools who can be made to be-
lieve that any scheme of financial investment
can be made to return 500 per cent per year
1t is an old saying that the fool and his
money are soon parted and as long as there
are fools with money there will be swindlers
ready to relieve them of it.
Indianapolis Journal: Many of those who
read the account of the expose OF the Frank
lin syndicate of Brooklyn, ~ Y, will re-
mark to themselves "the fools are not all
dead They will wonder how fairly intelli-
gent people could be deluded into the belief
that any money could be 80 invested as to
pay 10 per cent interest week. Yet they
will recall the fact that hundreds of sensible
people about indianapolis were victlmized by
a similar device, The Franklin syndicate is
nearly as reasonable a scheme as was the
Iron Hail. which promised to double the in
vestor's money in a given time. Not hun
dreds, but thousands of people were victim
lied by the Iron Hall when they knew that
its officers did not invest its funds in any
stocks or other enterprise that would yield
a revenue. All that class of so-called in
vestment which promises to return 81 for 81
in given time is only more absurd in de-
gree than this latest swindle.

The public is familiar with the gen
eral plan of financial legislation pre-
pared by the house republican caucus
committee, the details of which are sup.
piled in the full text of the measure
which it is understood Will be reported
to congress at the beginning of the ses-
sion. The purpose of the bill is TO un-
equivocally fix the gold standard and
for this it is provided that all interest
bearing obligations of the government
for the payment of money now existing
or hereafter to be entered into and all
legal tender notes of the United States
''shall be deemed and held to be pay
able in the gold coin of the United
States" as defined in the first section of
the act and provided for by existing
law. 1t is also declared that all other
obligations public and private, for the
payment of money, shall be performed
in conformity with the standard estab-
lished by the act, which is not to be
construed as affecting the legal tender
quality of silver or government paper
The bill creates in the Treasury de-
partment a division of issue and re-
demption, where n redemption fund
shall be maintained consisting of the
amount of gold coin and bullion and of
silver dollars and United States notes
held against coin and currency certif-
Gates, together with gold reserve
equal to 20 per cent of the legal tender
notes outstanding. For the main
tenance of gold reserve the secretary
of the treasury Is authorized to issue
and sell bonds payable in gold, mt
rate of interest not exceeding 3 per cent.
Legal tender notes must be redeemed in
gold If demanded, while silver certifi-
Gates shall be redeemed in accordance
with existing law, that is in silver. The
gold reserve fund cannot be used for
any purpose except the redemption of
the government legal tender notes and
such notes redeemed in gold can be
reissued only in exchange for gold coin.
Several important changes in the ma
tional banking law are proposed, chief
among which is a provision allowing
the organization of national banks, with
the sanction Of the secretary of the
treasury in any place the population OF
which does not exceed 1000 inhabir-
ants. The intention of this is to secure
better banking facilities for small com
munities where there is "A demand for
them and while this provision will per-
haps have no great practical results it
will undoubtedly prove beneficial, IT
is also proposed to allow national banks
to issue notes TO the par value Of bonds
deposited TO secure circulation.
This bill is the result of most care
ful and mature deliberatiOn, after a
very thorough canvass of public opin-
ion, and ii is indorsed by the sound
money sentiment Of the country. 1t is
TRUE that ii does not go so far as the
more radical currency reformers desire
but even these are disposed to accept IL
as decided advance. Conservative
people believe that 1t is all the sltua-
ton requires aud probably all in the
way of financial legislation that will be
required for many years to come. The

THANKSGIVING, 1890.

From end to end DER all this mighty state
Prosperity hath spread her lavish hands,
Her granarieS are bursting with the fruits
OF harvest yielded by the generous lands;
In heaps OF yellow splendor unconfined,
The opulent corntelds pour their wealth
of gold,
And peace and plenty hover in the sky
To scatter blessings as the year grows old.
In all the length and breadth of fertile
farms,
No sign Of want appears to mar the scene;
On upland tracts the browsing herds grow
fat
AS in the sun-cured grass they crop and
CLEAN:
Behind the plow the farmer treads the soil,
All rich with promise for another year
On every side Is deep and full content,
To greet the winter drawing slowly near.
From out the past, like some dim dream of
night,
A fantest echo comes of years snuffed
out,
When drouth held sway and grisly want
was king
But new conditions now are brought
about
From every humble hearth and palace hall
A hymn of praise arises clear and strong;
In every gentle heart ThanksgiVings dwell,
On every lin there sits iocund song.
