Republican Policy.

(From the Philadelphia Lcdger)
1t has always been considered good policy
heretofore for the Republicans to declare in favor
of civil service reform. Practical politicians
never liked it. but they felt obliged to endorse
it in their platform at least. But the Presi-
dents backward step has encouraged the Ken
tuekv Republicans to attack civil service reform
They would like the President to take some
more steps backward. II the Republican Ma
tiopal Convention should follow this lead, it
will have to rcpudiate its own policy respecting
civil service during the last dozen years, but
that will make no difference to the politicians.
if they think it safe 10 do so.

A Ghost Revival.

| 1t is reported that a marked interest in
ghost literature is manifested by London
society and that the telling of ghost sto-
ries is one of the popular amusements of
the season. 1t is also said that ghosts long
unseen have come out of hiding and are
now furnishing thrills to those fortunate
or nfortunate-enough to behold them
1t cannot be said that in the general i'm
provement of things during the last hun
dred years, the ghost has shared to any
marked extent. The old d-fashioned spook
came on earth for some definite purpose, or
because he could not help himself Some
times he glided around the scene of a
murder until the murderer was caught, and
sometimes he meandered gently about near
places where money was buried, carrying
out the designs of his former self. occa-
sionally, like Marley of the Christmas
Carol" he is doomed to expiate some sin,
and incidentally serves as an object les
son TO other sinners.
The modern ghost requires a consider
able amount of complicated and sometimes
expensive machinery to raise him from
the depths. He viii only consent TO ap-
pear in dark room when the conditions
are right, and it sometimes takes liberal
amount of money TO make them right. He
rings dinner bells, plays on banjos in the
air, and writes his name on states. but
there is nothing whatever about him that
is picturesque or thrilling, or would make
a good story. He is not apt to appear to
poor people. He is sycophant and an arls-
tocrat. In short, he is a ghost for revenue
only.
If there is really to be a revival of the
old-fashioned ghost. it is matter for re-
joicing. Let US hope that this English
fashion will extend to our side of the water.
In that case, we may develop another Rip
Van Wrinkle legend. or more Hawthorne
wonder tales. In spite of the industry and
determination of sundry dealers in spook
literature. there is very little to be made
out of the commercial ghost, and it would
be refreshing TO see some of the old-fash-
| ioned kind

A local physician Who is himself somewhat
noted as cutting d5ctor," dismisses with fine
scorn the assertion 81 Dir Bangert at the meeting
of the Eclectic Medical Association that the sur
gerry fad is dangerous. because It leads physicians
to operate when no necessity exists for cutting.
''No physician oj, the regular school, says the
surgeon referred 70, tPays any attention to any
thing the ecleetics may say. They are outlaws.
and such assertions as 4his made by one of them
carry no weight This is an easy way to dispose
Of the matter. ..whrn you have weak case"

Unfortunately the public does not share in the
contempt of the r6nseerated regular physician
for his brother of the eclectic school. The pa
tient wishes 10 BE cured, and il an eclectic can
cure him when a regular would cut him up, the
eclectic is very likely 70 get the job 1t is
natural, OF epurse,i ior a surgeon to defend sur

The current number of Municipal At

tention TO a tendency in certain large
American cities to drive away residential
wealth by the imposition OF oppressive per-
sonal property taxes. That is an evil from

He Had No Money. but Had Nerve and

CAGES ANNUAL
Secretary of the Treasury Will
Plead for Enactment of Gold
Standard
And for Laws Which Will Give
a More Elastic Cur
rency.
Bankers Should Be Allowed to
Issue Notes Against Their
Assets.

New YORK. Nov. IA special t,
che Herald from Washington says:
Enactment of the gold standard into
law and reform Of the banking cur.
rency laws SO as to give the country a
more elastic bank note currency, will
be the leading recommendations OF
Secretary Cages annual report.
When the secretary went before the
banking and currency committee OF the
house of representatives early in the
present month and declared for the
enactment of the gold standard into
law. he startled many Of his party asso-
ciates. He stood his ground, however,
and has had the satisfaction Of seeing
the rank and file of his party, with some
exceptions, come up to the standard
which he has planted.
In the same way the secretary will
TO- take advanced ground in favor OF
bank reform and system Of banking
which will allow banks to issue their
W notes to meet extraordinary de.
mands for currency.
The secretary believes that q system
of bank note issues can be devised
which will insure the safety Of the note
holder and at the same time will not

trusted to the banks by depos,tors.
Issue Notes Against Notsa
He will recommend the enactment of
a law p%ro:iding for the issue of note.
against deposits of bonds, and green.
backs, treasury notes or silver certif.
Gates, and allowing the banks to issue
additional notes against their assets.
The details Of the plan will be princi.
pally the same as those he recommend.
ed in his first annual report in 1897.
The advantage of enabling banks to
issue notes against their assets under
restrictions and regulations which
would insure the absolute safety of the
notes. it is stated, is that they would
thus be able to put out additional cir.
culation at times when money was in
demand and to retire their notes as soon
as the necessity for the increased cir.
culation had passed.
This would prevent the great in
crease in interest rates which now oc,
ours periodically, and would not pro
duce at times such plethora Of none,
as to lead inevitably to over-specula
ton.

five or six years ago. This reduction
of the tax rate. combined with a large
