GOLD STANDARD IN INDIA.

Sixteen to one is the decision for
India, but it is sixteen silver rupees
to the gold sovereign, or pound.
But this keeps the rupee at a valua-
ton nearly twice it's intrinsic worth.
It is proposed by the Indian Curren-
cy Committee to make gold the
standard, and to keep silver up to
the gold value, the same as in
France and the United States, not
by any direct law by which silver
shall be indefinitely convertible into
gold, but by a permanent and strin-
gent policy, as in France the five
franc piece is legal tender to any
amount. They do not regard it
necessary to declare absolute inter
convertibility OF the metals, as India
is a country where the people never
see gold, which will be used only for
large transactions. But a gold
standard is necessary because the
foreign trade is with gold countries.
It is now settled that from this time
India has a gold and not a silver
standard, and internatio nal bimetal-
ism is, given up as impracticable.
The British sovereign will be the
standard gold coin OF India, and the
Indian mints will coin them without
restriction. But there will be no
immediate measures taken, perhaps
because not necessary, more likely
because the time is not propitious,
to accumulate a large gold reserve
to protect the silver currency.

FULL TEXT OF
 THE rNESSAGE

The governors message is as follows:
 To the General Assembly:
 In compliance with section 1879 of the code, I send you herewith for your prompt consideration and action the report of Ex- aminer Cowan on the books, accounts and doings of the commissioners of Jefferson county. The examination was made at the request of citizens of that county and in compliance with law.
 Several years since there was great com- plaint in Jefferson county at the large com- pensation taken by the commissioners, each practically drawing $5 per day for the year. To correct this the general assembly, in 1892, passed an act forbidding the commits sioners to sit more than ten days in any month, except the three months they were supposed to be engaged in equalizing taxes. Two years ago the general assembly passed an act in relation to the management of roads, and provided that the commission CTS should inspect when necessary but once A quarter; no compensation was provided for this service. The compensation as com missioners had many years before been raised from $3 to $5 per day.
 Under the act first named, the greatest possible number of days that the commits sioners could lawfully sit in any one year was ten days in each of nine months; and twenty-six days In each of the other three months, or a total of 16S days, and the greatest possible compensation was $S4O and mileage, but the act authorized one com missioner "To be selected by the court" to remain at the court house, and as to this one there was a possible addition of IA days The examiners report shows that this job was impartially and illegally di- yided out amongst the four. Even if this could have been lawfully done, 1t would have given each thirty-six days extra ser- vice, or a total of 2O4 days for the year, and s102O pay The report shows that the com missioners for the year 1897 managed to get In from So3k to 314 days pay out of possible SIS week days, including Christmas and every legal holiday. One member got S14 days, which compelled him to work one Sunday in addition to every holiday. Under any possible theory these commissioners have drawn for about 100 days more ser- vice than 'the law authorized

sHELBY's CHANGES.
Alabamian Will Probably Receive the Judicial Plum.

Washington, January 26-(Special)- There is no change in the matter of the judgeship save that the president told Representatives Bankhead, Aldrich and Stallings today that he would appoint either Glenn or Shelby. The Alabamians seem to think that the president implied to them that he intended to appoint MT. Shelby.
 The latter has the advantage over Glenn in that he served in congress with the pres- ident and was a delegate to the convention which nominated Mckinley. He was @ smembcr of the committee on resolutions The president will most likely make the ap- pointment Saturday.

GOV. JOHNSTON RECOMMENDS THE
 REMOVAL OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
In a Special Message to the
 Legislature
FOLLOWED BY SPECIAL BILL
Which Provides That a Board of Coun- ty Revenue Be Appointed By the Governor to Fill Unexpired
 Terms of Commissioners.

Montgomery, January 26.-(Special)-The governor has sent special message to the legislature recommending that the county commissioners court of Jefferson be abol- 'permitting the voters at the next general election to elect the members thereof"
 The messages rectes the findings of Ex- aminer Cowan, it summarizes the findings against the present commissioners, and then the governor declares that the best way to punish unfaithfulness is the shortest way. He recites that the shortest way IS to abolish the commission as it exists and establish 1t under the name of board of revenue, giving the said board Of revenue the identical powers.
 The Bill Introduced
 Immediately following the reference of the message to committee of the house, MT Burkhalter introduced a bill carrying out the recommendations of the message
 The bill provides that the court of county commissioners Jefferson be immediately abolished, and that a board of revenue con- sisting of five members be established this board to be appointed by the governor to fill the interim between now and the next gen. eral election. The board is given all the Jurisdiction duties and powers of the pres ent commission. No member of the board shall receive exceeding one thousand dollars compensat ton in one year. The board may have clerk at $500 year, in the discretion of the board, and this clerk may be one of the commissioners. The board must hold four sessions year-the first Monday in January, April July and October-and may hold special sessions at any other time.
 The bill will be acted upon without de- lay, and the concensus of opinion is that it will be adopted. There is but one general objection to it, and the indications are that eral consent amendment, providing that in- stead of the postponement of the election of the five members of the board of reve- nue until the next general election the mem- bers of this board shall be elected at the general election called to vote on the con- stitutional convention matter on the first Monday in July.
 Prefers Their Election
 Those who talked with the governor to- day say that his only purpose is to fulfill the duties of his office, which require that officers guilty, of misconduct shall be re- moved. The proposed method is deemed the one by which this can be promptly brought about. Rather than appoint the board of revenue the governor would pre- fer that it's members should be elected by the people, That being manifesty impossi- ble right now if the present commissioners be removed at once, board must be ap- pointed to serve until the people can elect. The governor is said to be thoroughly agreeable to the election of board in July or next year as the legislature may deem best.
