The rise in sterling exchange has
aroused expectations of exports of
gold. If these are realized, the result
need not be considered at all serious.
The significance of the expectation of
gold is determined by the cause of it..
If we are compelled to send gold out
of the country in payment of goods
purchased abroad, that is one thing. If
gold is sent abroad simply because the
ruling exchange rates make the pur-
chase of foreign bills a profitable in
vestment, that is quite another thing.
It happens that just at present there is
a large trade balance to our credit in
Europe, and if we send abroad gold it
is because We gain something by so
doing. We have an unprecedented
quantity in stock

A Baptist church in Atlanta, Ca,
has been partially wrecked by per-
sons who deemed the pastors remarks
concerning the Newman lynching ILL
considered and untimely. They furth-
er complimented him with packages
containing bits of flesh cut from the
body of the murdered man.
There were also anonymous threats of
public whipping and lynching. At last
account the Rev. L. B. Broughton was
alive, but there are obvious inconveni-
ences in being a century or two in adj
vance of the civilization with which one
is surrounded.

Perhaps stimulated by agitation and
the introduction of bill in the legis-
Iature providing for a city system of
gas supply, the New York companies
have gone to war and reduced the
price of gas from $1.10 to 60 cents a
thousand feet. The indications are
that this stroke won't head off the mu-
nicipal ownership movement. The peo-
pie are too ready to belive that the
companies will raise the price as soon
as the dangear of it is passed. They
will be disposed to argue that the re-
duction proves that the companies can
make a living by selling gas at slight
ly more than half the former price.

Secretary Long made a strong point
in his Essex club speech when he
pointed out that at the time the Fill
pinos attacked our troops last Febru-
airy, in obedience to a dispatch from
Agoncillo, who urged that this should
be done before the Senate acted on the
treaty, our government was preparing
to do the very things demanded by the
resolutions adopted by the Faneuil nall
anti-imperiaIist meeting as a prelim-
mary to a settlement with the native
To quote the secretary:
'These resolutions expressly provide
that before even entering upon the
basis of a recognition of the freedom
and independence of the islands there
shall be proper guarantees of order ard
protection to property Also, that the
United States shall encourage and as
Sist in the organlZatin of government
there, and that not until this 'organiza-
ton in stable manner shall the United
States recognize the independence OF
the Filipinos; and even then only grad
ually withdraw its military and ma
val forces. In other words, the minute
that meeting came to commit itself to a
definite policy, it adopted almost exact
ly the line which the president express
ed, for instance, in his Boston speech.
and which he has been constantly fol-
lowing"
The perversity of understanding that
has characterized the critics of the adj
since the fighting was re-
sumed around Manila is among the in
explicable phenomena of the times. As
Long reiterates, a prompt ra-
of the treaty might have
averted the present war by leaving no
time for the intngues of Aguinaldo,
Agoncillo, and their kind.

Gen. Boisdeffre were privy to the de-
ception, though Du Patty de Clam was
the one who engineered it. 1t is alto
gether likely, however that the first
information came from the italian en-
bassy, backed by the German, and that
this was accompanied by an intimation
that if the forgery was not exposed and
disavowed. the truth would be told
simultaneously in Rome and Berlin.
That is what brought on the crisis that
resulted in Col. Henrys suicide.
