GOLD STANDARD.

urgently recommend that, to sup
port the existing gold standard and to
maintain "the parity in value of the
coins of the two in.ep 10 .(gold and sill
ver) and the equal power of every do
lar at all times in the marf2et and in
| tits, Nymenti "a :. lsees mn the secretary Of
the treasury be given additional pow
er and charged with the duty to sell
United States bonds and to employ
such other effective means as may be
necessary to these ends. The author
ity should include the power to sell
bonds on long and short time, as con-
ditions may require, and should pro-
vide for rate of interest lower than
that fixed by the act of January II,
1875.
While there is now no commercial
fright which withdraws gold from the
government, but, on the contrary, such
widespread confidence that gold seeks
the treasury deman ling paper money
in exchange, yet the very situation
points to the present as the most fit
ting time to make adequate provision
to insure the continuance of the gold
standard and Of public confidence in the
ability and purpose of the government
to meet all its obligations in the money
which the civilized world recognizes as
the best. The financial transactions of
the government are conducted upon
gold basis. We receive gold when we
sell United States Bonds and use gold
for their payment. We are maintain.
ing the parity of all the money issued
or coined by authority of the govern
ment. We are doing these things with
the meals at hand.
Happily, at the present time, we are
not compelled to resort to loans to
supply gold. 1t has been done in the
past however and may have to be done
in the future. 1t behooves us, there
fore, to provide at once the best means
to meet the emergency when it arises,
and the best means are those which
are the most certain and economical.
Those now authorized have the virtue
neither of directness nor economy. We
have already eliminated one of the
causes of our financial plight and en-
barassment during the years 1893, 1894,
1895 and 1896. Our receipts now equal
our expenditures; deficient revenues
no longer create alarm. Let us remove
the only remaining cause by comforting
the full and necessary power on the
secretary of the treasury and impose
upon him the duty to uphold the pres
ent gold standard and preserve the
coins of the two metals on a parity
with each other, which is the repeatedly
declared policy of the United States.
In this connection, l repeat my for
mer recommendations that a portion
of the gold holdings shall be placed in
a trust fund from which greenbacks
shall be redeemed upon presentation,
but when once redeemed shall not
thereafter be paid out except for gold.

Congress has prepared the way to
dispose of the case of Brigham H.
Roberts, the polygamous member-elect
from Utah. 1t is doing the work of
disposing of his case in dignified and
impressive manner, having by an over
whelming majority vote refused to
permit him to take the oath of office
and referring his case to a special COM
mittee which will investigate the
charges against him. Personally, MIR.
Roberts is one of the brightest men in
Utah, but the efrontery of the Mormons
who tried to force on the American
people asT representative in Congress,
with the tied charge that he is a
polygamist and open violator of the
laws, was too much for the people to
stand. Seven million Americans pro-
tested over their signatures and Mr..
Roberts will have to stand aside.

The grave of Capt. John Paul Jones
has not been located by the govern
ment through its inquiries of the en-
bassy in the French capital. He died
on July IS. 1892, in Paris. and was bur
led with the highest honors by the
French government, but the place of
his burial cannot now be determined.

The Presidents message has by this
time been read and discussed in every
portion of this country. 1t is a long
document, and from a republican
standpoint plain statement of the
condition of national affairs. The most
interesting portion of it is that relating
to our recently acquired territories.
The President discusses the situation
of the Philippines in a manner which
will meet the approval of all who
believe that whenever our flag has been
rightfully raised it should forever
remain and that it is our duty to main
tain and to restore order. But this is
the portion of his message which will
be most bitterly assailed by the Atkin-
ses, Shurzs, Clevelands and their ilk
who are disposed to give aid and COM
fort to the insurgents.
A territorial form of government,
fashioned after that adopted for
Louisiana in 1905, is recommended for
Alaska and Porto Rico.
The financial legislation recon-
mended shows that the President has
gone over to the goldbugs, body and
boots and ready to put the last rivet in
the "crime CT the century" to fasten
the gold standard upon the nation, to
pay out greenbacks only in exchange
for gold, to give the national banks
greater power to control the volume of
currency and the money power greater
sway.
With a demagogery unworthy of him
he recommends stringent legislation
against the Trusts which his financial
policy is doing so much to create and
foster.
We copy that portion Of the message
relating to finance:

Wood pulp has been put to n variety
OF uses in recent years, but to none

surgical dressings. When maccrated

four to five times its weight of liquid

pulp becomes soft poultice OF any
desired consistency can be made by
varying the quantity Of the water, by
using hot water the resulting poultics
will retain Its heat and moisture much
longer than similar poultice made
of bread or Haxseed. Antiseptic drugs
soluble In water may be dissolved In
the water in which the pulp is to be
soaked, as the pulp itself is unaffected
by most drugs. When dry the pulp
will absorb both oils and fnts. This Is

The postmaster general has issued
a general order announcing the deter
mination Of the department to provide
for tho registration OF valuable letters,
or arst-class matter, by letter carriers
on their routes In free-delivery cities.
This new service will be inaugurated

tended to others as rapidly as possible.
At hrst II will be confined TO the purely
residential districts, excluding busi-
ness houses and individuals, who have
q large number Of letters for registra-
tion at any one time. The extension
OF the system to the business districts
is left to the sound discretion of the
postmaster.
The postmaster general has received
information that some postmasters and
employees, In order to avoid the labor
involved, are advising the public that
the registered mails are not safe

matter, and he has given warning. in

disregard of duty will be sufficient
