ROOT MEANS BUSINESS.

Secretary Root may not know much
about the equipment and the handling
of armies, he may be lacking in adj
ministrative experience, but he is such
an improvement over Alger and so far
ahead of the others of McKinley's
cabinet chat criticism of his official
coneact should be tempered with con-
hdeRce in his sincerity.
The prompt execution of the Carter
/ sentence affords such pleasant con-
trast II the dilatory procedure of the
administration generally, that the sec
rotary of war is entitled to full credit
for the business-like way in which he
disposed of the case. Carter is either a
wholesale robher or an innocent man.
II innocent, he should have been able
to establish that fact, surrounded as he
was with political protection and ad-
ministration sympathy But court
martial after giving him every oppor-
tunity TO clear himself, decided by a
unanimous verdict that Carter was an
enbezzler who had stolen over a mil
lion and a half of government money
= year and a half elapsed before the
president would allow the war depart
ment to take Up the case or the attor-
ney. general to review it. During this
time Carter Wore the uniform of a
captain in the regular army, drew full
pay as Eagan is doing, and honest SOL
diers and subalterns We're compelled to
show him the difference due his rank.
1t was an outrage on decency and an
insul. to the service.
Carten threatened exposures of prom
inent politicians, intimating that he
had eminent accomplices. and the pres
ident hesitated until the whole nation
began to show it's disgust Carter is in
prison at last. In all probability civil
proceedings will be instituted for the
purpose OF locating or attempting to
recover the stolen money. Then dis
closures viii be in order No matter
who the guilty men are it is the duty
OF he government to apprehend and
punish their or at least to make an
earnest effort to do so.

these warnings. as was announced in
August, and said IN the report sub
mitted to parliament: "Bimetallism is
impossible. The only alternative TO
silver recommendation is a gold stand
ard, that is to say, gold as the meas
ure of value in India, as it has been
since the closing of the minis There
is every reason to believe that the
English parliament win soon fasten the
gold standard permanently upon the
people of India. There is no room to
doubt that the next Republican con-
gress will legalize the gold standard
in the United States. In the meantime
there are goldbugs in this country who
viii insist that neither country is upon
a gold basis although the measure of
value in each country is the unit of
gold
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-10-06
GOLD is THE MEASURE.

India WAS not placed on a gold basis
sic years ago. She has never been on
a gold basis though il has been decided
70 adopt the gold standard so soon as
gold enough can be obtained to make a
basis for il. Formerly in India. there were
little minis in every town and the Indian
could take his bangles or bits of silver
bullion To any of them and have them
coined into rupees. They were closed six
years ago. but no gold standard was
adopted.-Tribune.
1t might as well be said that the
financial system of the United States
is nor on a gold basis. The gold stand
ard has never been legalized. 1t exists
by reason Of an act Of fraud and has
been continued from year to year by
means of corruption, coercion and de-
ception. Yet when silver was de-
monetized in 1873 the country was
placed upon d gold basis, and the single
standard has been fully as effective as
IL il had been regularly adopted with
the full and free consent of the people.
In the case of India the method of
procedure was somewhat different.
but the same influences were at work.
the same object was accomplished, and
the same disastrous results have fol-
lowed. Technically speaking, India is
not a gold standard country, Practi-
cally it is. India is not a silver stand
ard country. nor does her financial sys-
TEN rest upon a bimetallic basis. Her
mints were closed to the coinage of sill
yer in 1893, and it has been decided that
they shall not be reopened. In what
class does this place India?
The object in closing the Indian mints
10 the coinage OF silver was to enthrone
the single standard of gold: to estab-
lish the gold standard on the basis of
9 l6-penny silver rupee. At the time
tho minis were closed the value of the
rupee in gold was 141s pence, owing to
tho appreciation of gold which depre-
ciated all other values. that of silver
included. The government proposed to
keep the value Of rupees at 10 pence by
melting them down and making them
scarce. To maintain this fixed value
it is necessary TO keep a reserve on
hand OF both metals, that one may be
exchanged for the other upon demand.
OF course. the Indian government had
no lltltltliDl Will t4ito Gto-l Was
ed 10 redeem in gold until it got ready.
rhe scheme was to make money scarce
and thus to force gold into the circula-
ton through trade necessities. If the
gold failed to materialize the system
was not TO be held responsible but
the st-ingency would have to be
charged up 10 a lack OF accidents. .
the like of which, according to goldites
in this country, invariably result in the
shocking death of the silver issue.
Last year a commission was appoint
ed to investigate the financial condi-
ton OF India and report whether ar
not the gold standard should be per-
manently established. In his state
mert to the committee Sir Robert
Cffln. asserted thar tile geld standard
had worked great injury to India"
Lord Alderman opposed any further
experiment With the gold standard in
india" when he appeared before the
committee The committee ignored

it is these that make him the fashion.
The affectation of laying his scenes in
aristocratic circles and certain fini-
cal sentiment, together with real deli
cacy of form, have won for M. Paul
Bourget his success as society novel
list and a moralist of the salons; and
yet it is from this point of view that
his work is most open to criticism. NJ.
Bourget possesses hardly one of the
qualities that make the society novel
list. He has a somewhat awe-struck
admiration for the gelegancies of life
which is the reverse of real elegance
but he has no lightness of touch and
has never been able to rid himself of
his scholastic habits and PROFESSIONAL
cast of mind. He has a sort of weari-
some persistency, which never permits
him to take up subject without dwell
ing on it until he has exhausted the
question, hence there are tiresome pros

land Fisherman" and of the subtly be-
guiling, exquisite "Rarahu," or Lofts
Marriage" and other exotic tales, all
instinct with sympathetic pity and in
tense, though resigned, melancholy, as
plaintive and penetrating as the signing
notes of a violin.
We pass from these exceptional writ
ers to story tellers of more normal
mold, we may name first the srnirkingly
aristocratic Feuillet, a pinchbeck NOR
'alist, whose more democratic and inn
mensely popular successor is Georges
Ohnet. Other story tellers whose inter-
est is chiefly of the melodramatic sort
are Cherbuliez, and excellent journey
man of fiction, and the cleverly opti-
mistic Malot. More sentimental and
often very charming is Andre Theuriet
who delights, like George Sand, in
country idylls. fragrant of thyme and
wild roses. and quite ignoring the barn
yard Similar urban sentiment in the
lower classes finds it voice in Coppee,
for the aristocratic butterflies in Droz
for the dandies in Rabussen and La
vedan: and. behind this varied orches-
ira sentimental morbidity maintains its
undersong in the labored jargon of
science and psychology that makes up
the body of the novels of Richard and
the Rosnys. Nor must we forget that
prince OIL the detective SlOIS, EiHlle
Gaboriau.
More purposeful than these purveyors
of novelistic sweets and bitters is Ed
Guard Rod, a most delicate analyst of
character, whose work seems growing
steadily in force and clearness. And
there are multitude of others who
might claim attention. Many a reader
viii recall one or another that he will
think more deserving of a place than
some that have been named here But
pass them by, mentioning only in con-
clusion Provost and Marguerite, who
seem the most talented of the younger
generation. Provost is the successor of
Maupassant. not so profound, not quite
so pessinhistic and cynical far less
powerful in conception. but almost as
deft and unerring in attaining the les
ser effects that he essays; Marguerite
is the most virile of the younger writ
ers. the representative of a deeper and
truer realism than that of the natural
lists. He shows a healthy graphing
with the problems of duty and moral
self-control that marks him for US as
the forerunner of the coming genera
ton in the evolution of French fiction.

Less eccentric than unique is Ferdi-

is the genial skepticism of Anatole

evanescent will-o'- the-wisp light
through such "breviaries of skeptic-
ism as THE Opinions of Jerome Coig-
nard," or grace in THE Crime of Syl-
