Subscriptions to the fund
that is being raised for the
widow and children of Gen.
Lawton, who was killed in
the Philippines, are coming
in quite rapidly. The total

The administration has
refused to order Gen. Wheeler
either to remain in the Phil
ippines, where he is said to be
much dissatisfied with the
command given him by Otis,
or to return to Washington.
He got a friend TO endeavor
to get Mr.. Mckinley to drop

If General Wheeler returns,
he will haye to resign his

Senator Marion Butler,
Chairman of the National
Peoples party Committee,
has sent a circular letter to
each member of that Com
mittee, asking for their views
as to holding a NationalCon
vnntiOn to nominate a Presi-
Dental ticket. He thinks q
convention will be held and
that it will nominate Col. W.
j. Bryan. Speaking of the
convention. Senator Allen, of
Nebraska, who is a member
of the National Com mittee,
said that it made no differ
ence whether the convention
was held before or after the
democratic convention, b ,
cause it was already settled
that Col. Bryan would be
nominated by both conven-
tions. Senator Allen says the
Bryan electors will carry Ne.

A Gold standard Panic.
News and Observer.
At the very hour on Mon
day that the republicans in
the House OF Representatives
in Washington vas passing
the bill tn. establish a single
gold standard and turn the
issue of paper money over to
the National bank trust-a
measure demanded by t h e
lnen who put up the money
to buy the election OF McKin
lev-at that very hour Wall
street was in the thrOes of
panic and the rate of inter
eat rose to 1876 per cent. II
the gold standard act prerip
itated a panic, what a train
OF evils may we not expect
when it's perfect work OF con.
traction has had time to
grow? '.
If the advocates of the gold
standard bill right in say
ing that we have money en-
ough, why is the birth of the
act heralded with 80 fierce a
demand for money that men
franticalIy offer 185 per cent
for it? ""..Ht.
The panic in the stock mar
ket in New York followed a
like panic in gold standard
London, cut off from t h e
steady increase in gold from
the Transvaal which h a E
frightened tinesfor the past
year. the London stock ex.
change went into q panic. A
telegram to the New York
World tells what happened:
London. Dec, 19.-The pan
ic on the London Stock Ex
change today, caused by the
reverse of Gen. Butler, was
unexampled in the memory
of the living. The opening
scene was like bedlam, t h g
johbers shouting like mani,
acs at each other, their faces
wild with excitement an d
their hair disordered. All
their cries and gestures were
those of demented creatures.
The best reputed Katfir
stock, that OF the Ran d
mines. FELL six points in a few
minutes. Others were totally
unstable at any price.
Many men were ruined in
half an hour. Some were to
be seen sitting on the steps,
pictures of desolation and de
lection.
When the first violentstage
OF tile panic had exhausted
itself the members resigned
themselves to a settled gloom
and a more miserable collec-
ton of human beings could
scarcely be found on the face
OF the earth. There was no
hope to be gained from any
quarter.
This scene ofhystelical fear
was d striking contrast to
those witnessed on the declar
alton of war, when, in RAM

pant iiugoism. the stock ex
change members sang the
"Soldiers of the Queen" and
in cowardly vain glory dis
patched this insulting cable
to Kruger:
"For what you are abont
to receive may the Lord make
you truly thankful"
Commencing on these pan.
ics in the two money centers
OF the English speaking world
the Columbia State, wi h
much force speaks words OF
truth and soberness, as fol.
lows:
"Yesterday's stock and cot
ton market in New York was
but the reflex of Saturdays
panic in London. The British
spectators simply handed
"hystericaI fear" on to ours.
And the fear was of the
stoppage and loss of t h e
Transvaal gold supply.
There might be devised a
bet ter illustration of the dan
ger OF the financial system
about to be clinched upon
this country but we doubt it.
So far as the republicans and
renegade democrats can com
pass it the business of the u
nited States will be made to
stand on one monetary foot.
Somebody like Paul Kruger
comes along and steps on
and crushes a toe OF t h a t
foot and the huge b 0 d y
writhes and collapses. The
democratic party believes in
standing on both feet. on
both metals, 80 that if one
support falls the other le,
mains. While we have the sin
gle gold standard we shall be
constantly at the mercy OF
accident and exposed to de-
structive panic.
"We hope most sincerely
that the apprehensions we ex
pressed last summer of the Fl
nancial consequences of the
then pending war in South
Africa may not be further
justified than they have been
in thelast few days. that there
will be relief and recovery.
But there will be no perma-
nent safety for business for
business until we have as our
standard of value something
more than a metal 80 limited
in supply that the prospec-
tive loss OF one year'sproduc
tion of one country will breed
terror and break prizes"
If such a panic as struck
New York on Monday had
followed the passage of Il free
coinage bill in the House Of
Representatives,, tho bi.met-
allists would have been held
responsible for the destruc-
ton of American commerce
and Of smirching national
honor" 1t may not be trne
that the gold standard bill
actually produced the panic.
1t is true that it did not have
the power to avert it.
