The Gazette attempts to deny that
Judge Hughes knew what the investi-
eating committe was doing, though the
Judge gave out in submitted interview
that the committee was working under
his directions and supervision, and that
he would remove either of his appointees
if they told the result of their work be-
fore filing their report. In support of
their attempt the Gazette says no over.
charges would have been found against
him if such had been the case. This is
bosh. More than three weeks before
the report was filed we were informed
that the committee would find small
amount illegally drawn by Hughes.
This story was brought to US afterwards
and before the filing at least a half dozen
times by as many different people. It
further said the Judge thought he could
make capital for his second run cheap
by walking up to the Treasurers desk
and paying the amount. The Gazette
also states that Mr.. Elton, deputy in the
Probate Court, had no inside knowledge
of the report. If Mr.. Elton didn't have
knowledge it was because he didn't want
it. We, ourselves, had some little in.
formation before hand that came in q
confidential manner, and which we have
since found correct. That Mr.. Elton
had far better opportunities than we did
for early information NO enc will deny.

The Yellow Streak writhes in agony
over the akward position in which it is
placed by the Investigation. 1t took q
partisan stand for it on the theory that
only few persons against whom it had
personal spite would be effected. When
too late to retreat it discovered that it's
own pets and people who had been
anxious for action against others had
been caught equally with the ones they
intended to wreck their vengeance upon.
We rejoice in consistent position. No
personal i'll will has guided the course
OF the NEWS HERALD. Justice and prop.
er consideration have been granted to
all, and we await the action Of the proper
court to show what fees are legal under
the law before casting the blemish of
dishonesty on anyone. The opinion (?)
of three men who never had the reputa-
ton for great legal learning does not
make thieves of forty-eight men who
have been honored by their fellow citi-
zens in the past year. With the except
ion OF few sore heads, who expected to
catch others and escape themselves, the
officials named in the report appear
anxious for a judicial decision that will
chow what fees are legal and what are
not and an exact statement of their in.
debtedness to the county If any exists.
As editor of the NEws.HERALD we do
not wish to usurp the power Of the pub
lie prosecutor and only wish for a quick
and speedy hearing of the cases. or at
least one or two test cases.

We heard good deal in 1897, through
free trade organs, when cotton-mill
wages were being cut down in Massa-
chusetts, that the "Dingley law did it."
Even Bryan, who has rather dropped
the tariff issue since he thought of sill
yer, made a trip into New England to
investigate the situation and make
speeches. But how strangely silent now
are all these papers as we'll as Bryan en-
the subject since cotton mill operatives
have had their wages advanced.

The next time. Mr.. Bryan makes a
speech on free silver it would be in
order for some one to question him as to
his 1896 statement to the effect that the
circulation of money in the country
could not increase without free coinage.
BY reference to any political almanac it
will be found that free silver was no
adopthd in 1896, yet the Treasury De-
psrtment figures show a steady increase
in gold and total money since that time.
And the increase is something enor-
nous. On July l, 1896, the time Of Mr..
Brysn's nomination, the total circula.
ton in the country was 1906, 900 900
On December l, 1896, shortly after Bry.
ans defeat, it was $4,000. 900 On
January l, 1897 it was $1,65O, ,OOO, 900
On January l., 1898, it was 81, ,72l 900, 900
On July l, 1898, two years after Mr..
Bryan's nomination, it was 81, ,S43, ,OOO.-
600. an increase Of 1887 .0OO, 900, notwith-
standing the assertions of Mr.. Bryan aud
others that no increase was possible
without free coinage. On January 1,
1899, the country's circulation has still
further increased to 1897 900, 900, and
on July l. 1899, to 81 ,932, 900, 900, an in
crease in the three years since his
nomination of $426.OOO.OOO. Can Mr..
Bryan satisfactorily explain" to his
yet admiring friends this slight discrep.
ancy in his calculations of nearly half a
billion dollars The following table
shows the increase in circulation during
the past three wears:

Results OF the Hague Conference.

Apart from the intrinsic usefulness OF
the work which is being done by the
the peace conference, there is one as.
pect of the proceedings which deserves
special mention. Far more important
than anything which men do is the ev-
idence which their deeds from time to
time afford that there is behind them,
and over them, and working through
them, a Power that is mightier and
wiser than they. The extraordinary
manner in which the conference has
been led, by way it knew not of, to
evolve high court of justice among
the nations is calculated to confirm the
faith of the doubling in the reality Of the
''stream of tendency not ourselves which
makes for righteousness. When the
delegates met at The Hague on May 18,
few OF them, possibly none of them, be.
lieved that they had come on anything
but FOOLS errsnd. They said frankly
that they did not believe anything
would come OF it. But after six weeks
they see, even the most skeptical, that
greet things are coming of it-whereof
they are glad The codification of the
laws of war is an achievement of which
any conference might be proud, and 1t
is very satisfactory that at last-after
thirty years-the beue6ceut rules of the
Geneva Convention are now to be ex-
tended to naval warfare. But these pro.
visions for regulating var or for render.
ing it's suferipgs less acute are trivial
compared with the measures taken to
diminish the danger of the outbreak of
war and to provide for the administra
ton of a system of international law.
If twelve months ago any one had pre-
dicted that the representatives of all the
governments would be employed for
two months in celebrating court and
code for the universal establishment
of system of arbitration among nations,
he would have been derided as the idlest
of dreamers. But this strange thing is
coming to pass before our eyes w. T.

view of Reviews for August.

Senator Morgan, the old Democratic
wheel horse, has sounded a note of warn.
ing to his party. While yielding to no
one in his LOYALTY to silver, he deems it
unwise to sacrifice party and party sue
cess all for the sake of the nomination OF
any particular individual. This is rank
heresy. The Senator has read himself
out OF the party. The Chicago platform
and deifications of Bryan are essentials
in the test of party regularity. Mr..
Morgan will have to do penance for this
slight, this deliberate affront to the hero
OF the Platte.
With silver as live issue the uncom-
Portable facts will arise that since '96
campaign practically all the silver coun.
tries of the world have gotten into the
gold column as speedily as possible,
leaving Mexico and poor old China
about the only sensible countries. By
the way even Mexico is showing signs
of detection, but China is believed to be
yet staunch and true to Bryan. Of course
all the other countries are gold ridden
and downtrodden and their peoples tho
slaves of the money devils but the only
peculiar thing is that since Bryan's de-
feat 30 many countries should have
rushed from the enjoyment of their
silver thraldom. There was Russia and
Japan and Peru and Ecuador and In
dia's formal adoption of gold as stan
ard, and number OF smaller countries.
OF course Senator Stewards announce
ment that they have been "bought"
may be an explanation acceptable to
silver men.
