BELL AND sHAFRorH.s LATEST.

The two representatives from Colo
RADIO got in their speeches on the new
currency bill early in the debate; and
those speeches deserve some consider
alton by the people of Colorado The
most remarkable thing about both of
them was the definite acknowledgment
that prosperity is here-that notwith-
standing the failure of the United
States to go on n silver basis, and not
withstanding their own prophecies
that if it did not go on that basis there
could be no prosperity, this country
really is prosperous now. Mr.. Shat
roth explained the prosperity by say
ing that it was due, not to the tariff,
or the upbuilding of the credit of the
government, but solely to the fact that
more money per capita is in circulation
now than under the last Democratic
administration. Mr.. Shafroth deserves
credit for finding out that under this
Republican administration the volume
of the currency has been increased
he is the first member of the opposi-
tion to discover this fact.
Mr.. Bell also acknowledges that pros
perity is here, but his explanation diff
fers from Mr.. Shafroth's. He claims
that it is due not only to the larger
volume of money in circulation. but al
so TO the large crops raised by this
country, to the short crops abroad, to
the tremendous development of our
iron and steel Industries, and finally to
the recent war, which caused so great
activity in the gun factories, that the
prosperity we now have is to be cred
tied. These are wonderful admissions
to come from n man who voted against
the tariff under which our iron and
steel industries have developed so fast
who voted against the expenditure of
money to carry on the war, and who
has told his constituents many times
that the Republican party seeks to con-
tract, instead of enlarging, the volume
of the national currency.
Mr.. William +. Curtis, the we'll
known Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Record. is authority for
the statement that Representative Bell
of Colorado recently made speech at
dinner party in which he referred to
the Chicago platform as rotten, pu-
trid corpse" and declared that issues
and principles with life in them would
have to be adopted in order to excite
any interest among the people in the
Democratic ticket.

THE SALVATION ARMY
ExrEr t OF ITS OPERATIONS.
In Londs Last Year General Booth Ex-
pends l S75O,OOO In Helping the Poor
Much Money Repaid.

Few people are aware of the large
business Qualifications of the Salvation
Army. During the year 1898 in the
city Of London alone General Booth
expended ST50,000 in maintaining es-
Establishments for the benefit of the poor
and furnishing food and shelter for an
average of $4,000 persons daily. In this
labor ,S32 persons were employed
Among the institutions so supported
were 10 shelters for the homeless;
% homes for fallen women, u refugees
for discharged convictS, homes for
waits and strays, 50 factories and
workshops, 43 labor bureaus, AZ bu-
reaus of information, 10 farm colonies,
8 homes for servants out of employ
ment = hospitals, Z poor mems law
yers' for the benefit of those who have
no money to pay for legal advice, and
one collection bureau, whose duty 1t
was to attempt to collect free of cost
money owing to persons who applied
to the society for the assistance.
At the same time the Salvation Army
vas almost self-supporting, and of the
ST50,000 expended as described for the
benefit of the poor S641 ,o15 was repaO
by the people who We're assisted.
In the United States last year the
Salvation Army maintained n total of
l21 institutions, including AZ shelters
for the unemployed, where 50T3 per-
sons took refuge during the year; -
rescue homes for fallen women, with
800 inmates; . homes for lost children,
accommodating 60; II Industrial de-
pots, employing an average of 342 per-
sons daily, S labor bureaus, 2 inquiry
bureaus, poor mems lawyers" 1

walton Army has conducted n large

THE BEBATE ON THE CURRENCY
BILL.


The so-caned Reed rules" were
adopted by this Congress, and the first
application of them was in making
special order of the new currency bill.
This is called by the Democratic papers
the application of the gag law" BY
this they mean that only six whole
days and three evenings We're given
for debate on the bill. Probably fifty
or sixty speeches We're made and the
Democrats had ample opportunity to
bring forward every possible objection
to the bill.
Mr.. Richardson. the new Democratic
leader, complained that his side had
no time to study the provisions of the
bill-which was true in one sense, but
not true in another. All the provisions
of the bill had really been before the
public, in one form or another, for
years. The so-called "impounding' of
treasury notes was recommended by
the President in his first message two
years ago, and was under consideration
during the Cleveland administration;
the declaration that the gold dollar is
the standard was made in the famous
act of 1873; the proposal TO allow
banks to issue currency up to the par
value of the bonds deposited by them
in the United States treasury has been
before the country for ten or fifteen
years; the granting of charters to
national banks in towns of less than
1000 inhabitants on a capitalization of
$25, 900 was suggested two years ago
in the message; and even the propo-
sition to tax banks on the value of
their franchises, instead of on their
circulation, is not altogether new, al
though it is perhaps the newest thing
in the bill. 1t is so manifestly fair
however, that little objection has been
made to this feature of the bill, even
by the opposition.
1t has been alleged, by some op-
ponents of this measure, that it gives
over the function of issuing money TO
the national banks, and retires the
greenbacks. 1t does no such thing The
national banks will issue very little, if
any, more currency than they do Mt
present. The government retains the
money-issuInG function unimpaired.
The proposal of the famous Indian
apolis conference" composed maiimy
of gold-standard Democrats, that the
currency of the country be supplied by
the national banks, which should be
empowered to issue bills on their as
sets, was emphaticaly rejected by the
trainers of this measure.
The debate in the Senate Will take
much longer time than that In the
House; and it is not improbable that
the bill may be amended in several
particulars; but 1t seems likely that Il
bill substantially Identical with that
which has just passed the House will
become law at this session.

President Mckinley, in speaking at
a town in South Dakota a few weeks
ago, remarked that the little folks now
had a good deal of geography to learn
that he did not have when a boy.
This is significantly true. Africa, in
the old biographies, took up little
space; it was the dark continent.
Australia is also a comparatively new
chapter. So is a great part of the
United States. South Dakota, where
the president spoke, was a wilderness
in 1S43, the year in which he was born,
and he was IA years old before its first
permanent settlement, at Sioux Falls.

THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.

Secretary Hays recommendations of
increased salaries and certain other
changes in the diplomatic service is
timely and important. 1t amounts to
official recognition of the need of more
complicated and finished diplomatic
machinery to maintain the new status
abroad. To speak plainly, n better
diplomatic and consular service has
simply been prevented, first by under
pay. and second by lack of equal re-
sponsibllity and practical leadership
with the other great powers in the
management of affairs abroad. The
large fact Of responsibility has come,
and the und .rpay has to be brushed
aside like a cobweb. 1t can hardly be
that the salary Increases will be denied.
The recommendation that Congress
give authority for advancing consular
clerks to consular places after five
years satisfactory service is signifi-
cant. That would be. within certain
limits, the foundation of graded SER
vice in which merit would get its re
ward and the service attain its proper
efficiency. The changes recommended
in regard to interpreters and the neces-
sary knowledge of foreign languages
are. one would think, so obviously ur-
gent that it is strange that they have
not been made long before.-New York
