Mr. p. A Shilling met with bad ac-
cident on April 9TH. While cleaning up
around the hay corral he ran a rusty
thirty penny nail almost through the

great pain. It has been lanced five
times and looks very bad. He has been
in bed most of the past two weeks.

washington Special to Chicago Pest.
An article In the October Forum by Con-
troller Dawes on the currency situation is
attracting considerable attention in Wash
ington. 1t is assumed To foreshadow the
administrations policy and to be a semi
authoritative intimation Of what the Presi-
dent would like Congress 10 do In the mat
ter OF monetary legislation. The sugges-
tons are along the lines of President Nc
except that added emphasis is given to the
proposition that Congress formally incor-
porate the gold standard in the law. The
controller does not advocate radical
changes in existing laws relative to ma
tional banks. from which il is inferred that
ne sees no necessity for revision. 1t will
not be surprising. however, if Mr.. Dawes
should incorporate in his report TO the
President a recommendation for an addenda
TO the Presidents plan for allowing ma
tional banks to take out circulation Up 70
curity.. The controller is understood to hold
the opinion that II the proposed latitude is
gwen national banks they may AXE undue
advantage. of 1t. and that they should be
restricted by a tax on the additional 10 per
cent: circulation which such an amendment
20 the law would give them. II national
banks were taxed l, 2 or 3 per cent. on the
aodltionai 10 per cent. circulation suggested
they would only issue the additional notes
IN times Of stringency, when there was an
actual need for expansion. These notes
exist This, In the opinion of the controller,
would impart TO the currency the desired
feature of elasticity without giving to the
national banks any undue advantage or
afrording justification for the cry that thev
were being especially favored.

OF the News. the mayor has made 1t believe
that he is the best mayor the city ever had.
True. he ignored some Of the statutes and
portions OF the city charter, but. on the
whole, Mayor Taggart, according to the
News. was the best sort Of a mayor. OF
late. however. the News seems TO have had
its attention directed to the park land trans
action and other gross Irregularities of
which the mayor has been guilty the past
two years. and. finding them irregular. it
has come out for Mr.. Bookwalter.

For some time previous to the nomination
OF Mr.. Bryan 1t had asserted that free coin
age OF silver at the ratio of Is to l was a
preposterous proposition. Before the Bryan
convention. while II was apparent that the
Western Democracy was going wild on the
subject, the Sentinel opposed, and several
weeks elapsed after the convention before
the Sentinel came out for 1e to /. Long be-
fore the election. however. the Sentinel was
shouting 1s TO 1 in its largest type and de-
nouncing all those who failed to shout with
IL as public enemies. After such an exhibit
ton of a change of opinion the Sentinel
cannot assail the News or any other person
who changes. Indeed, if the Sentinel could
bring itself to see the weakness of the Tag
CART administrator it would vie with the
News in d%enouncing Taggartism. There is
yet time for 1t to do so. 1t would then ex-
perience the joy of the convert who feels
that he has been rescued from certain doom.
1t is not a question of consistency. but the
resolve to turn from errors Of opinion and
to come into the light of what is right.

The town of Vernon, in this State, Is ex-
periencing somewhat of a commotion over
an attempt of some colored citizens to die
tate the action of the School Board. From
a statement in the Vernon Republican it
appears that the colored people have had
assigned to them the best school building in
the town for a separate school. and a good
teacher. whose only fault is that he is
white. The patrons of the school want a
colored teacher, and hence the commotion.
1t began with a boycott of the school, only
three pupils having attended since the be-
ginning of the present school term, namely.
the children of one Warren Dearth. This
action seems TO have incensed the other
colored people. for the local paper says:
The trouble eliminated in what would be
called a genuine case of whitecapping. On
last Friday night a bundle of savage-look-
ing switches was left at the door of Dearth
and Mrs. Brandon, with a note saying that
II they did not quit sending the children to
wear out five times as many switches on
the two as was contained in the bundle,
and reminding them that the day OF siav.
cry was over. The notice was signed
"Whitecars."
Now, this is not the Journals fight, ex-
cept as it occurs In Indiana and involves
the enforcement of Indiana law. but ii will
take leave to inform the colored people who
have thus boycotted a public school and
threatened to punish a citizen for sending
his children thereto that they are wholly
and inexcusably In the wrong. They have
no legal rights in the matter beyond that
Of sending their children to school, as the
compulsory education law requires them to
do. School boards may provide separate COL
ored schools or not as they see fit, and the
selection and assignment Of teachers is a
matter entirely within their discretion and
beyond the power of either white or COL
ored citizens to control. AS for the white
Gaping threat. it was outrageous. The COL
ored citizen who sent his children to the
school designated by the authorities for
their instruction was entirely right. He was
acting in conformity with law and the du-
ties OF good citizenship. while those who
threatened him were violating both. Even
II their act was meant only as ar intimi-
dation 1t was none the less an outrage. The
course Of the persons who are boycotting
the school has been wrong from the begin
ming, and the sooner they realize the fact
the better.

should be taxed in Ohio because he claims
1t to be his residence. In Washington, which
has been his residence since 1856. he must
pay taxes on his real estate, but all other
property should be taxed in Ohio. AS Mr..
Mclean is rated a SIS. OoO, 900 man, 1t appears
that he is the great tax dodger in Ohio or
Washington. 1t further appears that in all
these years Mr.. Mclean has voted in Ohio
but twice-in 1896 when he had an object in
view. and in 1897 when he was candidate for
United States senator. He did not vote in
1893.

A Washington dispatch says that Admiral
Dewey Is in hearty accord with the Presi-
dents policy in the Philippines and that he
made this fact conspicuous by applauding
every expression during the exercises in his
honor indicating a purpose to retain the
Philippines and TO establish the sovereign
ty OF the United States over them. This
statement is not in the nature of news to
those who have not cared to believe the
lies told about Admiral Dewey. The fact is,
the President indicated the important rela-
ton which the admiral sustains to the
policy in those islands when he said to him:

will be no faltering in maintaining it,"

A Check on Speech-Making.

the one he did her in war. He is putting

opens upon him all along the line. And his

The President has conferred a great honor
upon the citizens of Evansville by going so
far out OF his way to be present at the
meeting OF the Blue and Gray in that city
next Wednesday. The fact of his going will
make the occasion a great success. II Is
not impossible that the character of the
meeting had much to do in eterminin the
President to go. II is the first meeting of
that character in this part of the country,
and is in a section of Indiana which can
be easily reached by ex-Confederates as
we'll as by Union veterans. 1t is timely to
add that people in towns along the Presi-
dents route should be so considerate of him
as not to insist upon his giving receptions or
making speeches. Mr.. Mckinley is not
only an overworked man. but he is not in
so vigorous health that he can well with
stand all the calls upon his vitality which
patriotic but thoughtless people would
make.
