THE GOLD STANDARD.

In ex-Speaker Reeds address before the
Chamber of Commerce the argument for a
positive enactment establishing the gold stand
ard was put strongly possible. His
reply to the contention that any such en-
actment could he repealed was admirable: Are
1--WE never TO settle anything because that
'settlement can be upset? Those who have
'seen how long laws lnger which have been
poutgrown need not fear that a law once passed
''can be too easily repealed" The plea that the
question should be settled now, when discus
sion has prepared public thought for its settle
ment, before other coming questions crowd it
aside. gains point from his characteristic mode
of statement IF the standard question drags
''too long on the roadway some impatient horse
"hoof may strike it into the mud"
Inasmuch as this excellent address does new
ertheless seem 10 imply that the standard has
not been settled already. or that II is left in
'the hands of any Administration to so admin
sister the law we have that its amply and fully
declared intent should be frittered away" it
IS well 10 have from ex-Speaker Reed the dis
tinct admission that the intent Of the Nation
has already been amply and fully declared
In the act Of 1890 When this act made known
10 all "the established policy Of the United
States TO maintain the two metals on parity
with each other In the monetary circulation
II only adhered with honorable fidelity to the
principle established in the law OF 1873 which
declared that gold dollar of certain weight
and fneness should be thereafter "the unit Of
value" II is pertinent here TO quote from the
work Of Mr. Linderman. formerly Director OF
the Mint. who says In Money and Legal Ten
der page A:
The declaration in the Coinage act Of 1873
that the gold dollar TO be thereafter the
unit Of value. and the omission Of the silver dol
lar from the coins 10 be struck under the pro-
visions of that act, placed the United States
upon the single gold standard. This i'm
portant feature OF the Coinage act OF 1873 had
been agreed upon by Congress before it became
apparent that a serious decline in the value Of
silver was likely to take place. in consequence
Of the change from the silver TO the gold stand
ard by the German Empire. and this change in
reality could have had no influence in determin-
ing the question.
Putting the intent amply and fully declared"
IN the act Of 1890 by the side of the formal en-
actment of an exclusively gold standard Of
value in the act Of 1879 not few able men
find il hard TO believe that the standard could
bc more firmly or clearly established by any
law conceivable. They say the suggestion that
such enactments seventeen years apart still
need repetition was met long ago by the an
swer that repetition would tend to bring all law
into contempt. If these declarations, they urge
did not constitute settlement, then nothing
can be settled They object further, TO the as
sertion of Mr.. Reed that II is left TO any Adj

Now that the Merchants Association by the
exercise of most praiseworthy public spirit has
secured for this city respite from the still I'M

for some permanent and sure safeguard from

the true nature OF the contract which is IN con-

DR. William H. Maxwell Is In position to
accent concentrations. 1t is not often that
nuhlic official can succeed in making routine
renort-commonly the dullest OF written things,
which nobody wants to read-a piece OF liter
oture which publishers seek as If It were an
exciting novel. Many men anxious TO gain
reputation for fighting political dragons would
give ten years Of life TO be published to the
world as warriors whose weapons the dragons
felt obliged to keep guarded in the secrecy or

thrust upon him.
Tho BOARD of Education Is serving the Super
intendent far better than the antediluvians or

phaslze his criticisms could have been half so
effective in carrying conviction of their justice

suppress the document containing the moderate
and courteous statement Of his views. Even
educational mastodons are supposed 10 have

A LARGER WEST POINT.

Steps have been taken. as letter In another
column relates. TO obtain from the Governors
Of the States list of the commissioned ofncers
under the age of twenty-one who served IN the
Snanish war as volunteers, preparatory to the
Introduction Of n bill in Congress at the COM
ing session providing that these young men
may he admitted as cadets Mt West Point on
nassing the prescribed examinations. The be-
stowal of this opportunity is advocated on the
ground that il would bring into the Regular
Army In an appropriate manner within the next
few wears a number of deserving officers whose
experience already gained In actual warfare
would be especially valuable TO the country
hereafter. This seems to us thoroughly safe
and sensible proposition for the reasons given,
and because otherwise its tendency is IN the
right direction.
The West Point Academy is one Of the best
military training schools in the world, and one
NJ the countrv's most admirable institutions,
and we should be exceedingly glad to see IL
expanded TO larger proportions schooi OF
instruction in the art OF war that sufficed for an
army limited to $4,000 men and population
and conditions TO which an army of that size
was deemed adequate should not be expected
to supply the requirements of n nation of sew

ing ten or twelve millions more. At present
each Congress district and Territory. including
the District of Columbia is entitled to be rep
resented at West Point by one cadet. and the
President has the appointment of ten cadets AT
large, making the possible membership OF the
academy about three hundred and sixty. The
number, however, is always considerably below
the limit except perhaps Immediately after
the admission Of new class and, according
TO the last June catalogue, the four classes con-
tanned ONLY 292 members To what extent ana
in what manner the membership should De IN
creased we are not prepared TO say. Those are
details concerning which the advocates OF an
increase are likely 10 differ until careful consid-
Grafton has brought them together. Some per-
sons would probably recommend giving a right
Of nomination TO Senators, and 1t might De
thought advisable TO allow larger number OF
| onnointments TO the President as was formerly
done. we believe. The means Is comparatively
| unimportant consideration but the end pro-
posed seems to us highly desirable, 1t Will DE
we'll II the particular suggestion to which we
referred at the outset leads to broader result
