A COSMOPOLITAN COIN.

Philadelphia Inquirer: Fol many years
commercial men of all n~ationalities have
spoken and written on the subject Of the
roductio of a system of coinage which
should have a universal standard. The
proposition has failed to meet with sue
cess IN account of the difficulty in per-
suading the people of different countries
to bandon their own systems of coinage,
which appear to them part and parcel
of themselves, as much as their language
itself.
THE time seems approaching" said a
Philadelphia tinancier. when it will be
possible, and perhaps advisable, for the
great nations of the earth to meet in con-
vention and adopt a coin which shall be
cosmopolitan, the weight and fineness of
which might be determined by the con-
v%ention, and the minting Of which might
be intrusted to a body of experts made
up of representatives from all the nations
who care to enter into the project. 1t may
be some time before this comes about,
yet it would greatly facilitate interna-
tional business, especially since large in
t%ernational transactions have come to be
quite Such a coin would proba-
bly, never s%upplant the coin local to the
various countries in which also the cos
mopolftan coin became current, yet with
education taking such strides as it seems
to be doing everywhere it ought not to
De Q1HlculC 10 instruct the CnllQfen III
schools in the table of the proposed coin,
and give them practical illustrations in
it's use. Such a coin would not be well
coined enthusiastically by small traders
in different countries who are wont to
profit by the unfami1iarity of travellers
with the coin of the realm, and their ma
tural beWilderment in attempting to fix
in their minds the comparative value Of
articles considered in relation to the
money they have always handled, but it
/, would be a boon to the great travelling
worlds public. to our globe trotting com
mercial travellers. The current is surely
in the direction of a universal harmonic
ing of commercial interests and the elm
ination of all the little tricks by which
people deal to themselves lucky cards
and a RELOCATION of all things and people
in trade to a sound basis of intrinsic
merit"
1.-The subject of a cosmopolitan coin is
not a new one" said George Stevenson,
of the banking firm Of Sailer & Stevenson
recently. I'm some of the aspects of the
case it appears to be very desirable. 1t
mercial nations agree upon a gold coin,
given a name which would be under
stood in most of the countries agreeing to
it's coinage. Each country is to coin it's
own pieces, and to be responsible for
their accuracy. The coin is to have on
one side the stamp or legend of the
country coming it. and On the other its
universal name. 1t will readily be seen
that with u a coin in universal use,

The lines of prudence and public self-re-
spect. Allen admits the killing of Rey-
holds, but claims that the crime was in
self-defense, the quarrel growing out of
many injustices suffered at the hands of
his victim. Be this as it may, there are
many who believe that the circumstances
justify Imprisonment for life rather than
death. Hence. the effort to induce the
governor to commute the sentence and
rob the gallows of it's prey.

Those who misunderstood the logic of
Moses, the great law giver. who pro-

the punishment of the boy to confinement
in the penitentiary for life, are earnestly
praying for Divine Providence to over
come its scruples and tackle the con-
science of a democratic governor.
But If the law takes it's course. as now
seems probable, and the unfortunate boy
is executed Thursday morning, it is only
fair to assume that the chief executive is
doing what he believes to be right in
the premises, and that however erroneous
MS views may be in weighing the scope
ana limitations of his own rights and
powers in the case, the true responsibility
must rest with the jury that brought in
the verdict of guilty, and back of that
with the people who through their legis-
latlVe have made capital pun

HENRY WA77ERS0N'S STRUGGLE.

Inc pathetic efforts made by the dis
tinguiShed democrat. Henry watterson
10 Keep IN line with his party, have been
equalled only by the efforts of the democ-
racy to claim his loyalty when it was I'M
a~ttainable. Away back in 1892 Waiter
son declared that in the nomination OF
Cleveland the democratic party was
walking through a slaughter-house to an
open grave. Cleveland was elected. how
ever, and Watterson was forgiven.
In 1896, the noted Kentuckian again
flew the track He rufused to D
Bryan. following the Palmerites. but i'm
mediateiy after the election he was again
forgiven. and claimed as one of the head
lights of the party. He has confessed his
terrible anxiety to stand in with his par
ty, and aid in the work which has been
mapped out for saving the country.
But he is having a lard time of it, with
Goebel and Bryan on his hands. Between
drinks, so to speaker, rather, between
his efforts to be a democrat and his fail
ures to stand in with the Kaleidoscope
changes of that party-he has an occas-
ional lucid interval. Lately, his paper,
the Louisville Courier Journal, said OF
President Mckinley:
There is a prevailing belief that he is
an honest and a prudent man, who has
grown apace in the white house and has
done his duty. His journey west was at
tended by evidences of a consequent pop.
ularity that could not be doubted. His
visit south was a ten strike. The people
of the south in particular are an impress
sionable, an emotional people. They have
long wanted union and peace. Mr.. Nc.
kinley has had the supreme opportunity
to give it them through the commission
he issued to Wheeler and Lee and to re.
inforce his acts by words that recall both
the majesty and the ~magnanimity of Lin,
coin. The south can never be made t
feel other than sentiments of respect ant
good will for such a president and such
man.

ever. for it's early accomplishment.
Its d~esirabiIfty is not sufficient to
overcome the long established customs
of the various countries SO as to lead
them to relinquish the names and styles
OF their various coins. Conservative
England. for instance, with it's cumbrous
system, is not likely to %relinquish it's
pounds, shillings and pence and adopt
the decimal system of France, Germany,
Italy and the United States. And it is
not likely that the latter would give up
their quick n handy decimal system for
that of England. On the whole, the idea
is a very good one, but, like many other
good things-like the proposed metrical
system, for instance-impossible of ac-
c~omplishment for various reasons at
present"

CALLING 4 HAIL.

The more astute leaders of the democ-
racy have discovered the necessity of
taking the back track on the Philippine
question, if the party is to be saved from
utter ruin. Tle fight against the nation,
and in favor of A~guinaldo, has been car
ried to such an extreme that the resent
ment of the masses of the American peo-
pie has been aroused, with the very good
prospect that the democratic party will
be swept off it's feet in nearly every state
in the union To avoid this, it's leaders
are advising a change of tactics. The
Chicago Chronicle says:
Vengeance against an incompetent adj
ministration in inevitable if the democ-
racy shall not mistake its target and fire
at the nation instead Of at the republic
car party.
The advice to make no mistake in it's
target comes pretty late. but will doubt
less be needed by a now thoroughly
frightened political party. Having done
all the mischief possible. by trying to con-
vince the Filipino junta that if Aguinaldo
would only hold out yet a little longer the
sentiment Of the American people would
come to his relief, thereby prolonging the
war, with all that implies, the
democratic leaders have sounded a re-
treat from such politically unhealthy
grounds. In a long article bearing on
his matter, in which it thanks God that
the republican party is not the American
nation, the Chronicle says:
1t is worth while to emphasize the dec
laration that II h democratic party UNI
dertakes to advocate the withdrawal of
American soldiers from the Philippine
islands in the face of armed force the
democratic party will be defeated. 1t

Wednesday, October rs, to the subject
of crime and mob violence:
"Crirne has prevailed to an alarming
extent in some portions of the state,
and destroyed the peace and quietude of
many communities. LaWless negroes
have assaulted white women, and infu-
rated mobs have inflicted summary,
and in one instance, barbarous punish
ment upon the offenders, sometimes
even taking them out of the hands of
the officers of the law to do it. In con-
sequence of the frequency of these as
saults we have been made to tremble
for the safety of our wives and daugh-
tiers, especially in the rural districts,
and aw-abiding negroes in the commu-
mites in which lynchings have occurred
have lived in state of constant appre-
tension and alarm. Robberies and bur
