FOR UNIFORM EXCHANGE.

Last summer all intelligent effort was
conjunction with that of Mexico, to bring
about a stable basis of exchange for the sill
ver-using countries, and TO this end q COM
mission, headed by Hon. Hugh II. Hanna,
of this city, was sent to Europe to secure
the cooperation and support of the other
principal commercial nations. The govern
ments of England, France, Germany and
Russia, either through their fiscal officers
or through especially appointed commits
sions, discussed the whole proposition with
the American and Mexican commissioners
and promised cooperation in greater or
less degree. One proposition, advanced by
the Mexicans at the start, namely-that
these governments bind themselves TO the
purchase of fixed amount of silver for
subsidiary coinage was not we'll received,
but the other propositions that silver-using
colonies be brought into the general agree
ment for a fixed ratio OF coinage and coins
of uniform value, and that such coins of
Mexico and China, when backed by proper
gold reserves, be given recognition, were
we'll received and cordial support was
promised in the effort to put all the silver
using countries on uniform basis Of silver
coinage redeemable In gold.
Congress started the commission off with
an adequate appropriation to cover its Eu-
ropean journey, and the question now be-
fore it in this matter is whether or not the
means shall be provided to continue the
work that has been begun and carried along
to this point. In view of the probability of
ultimate success in the work, the Journal
does not doubt that Congress will provide
the means to continue 1t. Every business
man that does business with Mexico or the
Orient knows perfectly we'll that the great
est impediment TO this trade is the uncer-
tainty of exchange. The constant fuctua-
ton of silver keeps exchange with the sill
YER countries in such state of flux as to
require constant revision of price lists.
which is most difficult thing to do at long
distance. With stable basis there is no
measuring the possibilities of new trade we
might develop.

history in various walks of life have been
at one time or another victims Of consump-
ton and have been cured. 1t is not at all
impossible if the disease be taken in time
and the proper amount OF fresh air. exercise
and proper food be taken, with cold baths
and plenty of rubbing to keep the circula-
ton in good trim. 1t takes eternal vigilance
and good deal of hard work to eradicate
consumption, but those patients that take
it in time and have sufficient will power 10
persist in the treatment usually get the bet
ter of the dread disease.

FORT WAYNE. Ind. Nov. 19.-Local

learn that certain classes of shop depositors

The trust branch is only four months
old, but offers OF 112 were made for the

The first callers to-day were met by d.
rectors and argued with to show the un-
founded character OF their fears, but when
the depositor insisted on having his money

This afternoon the directors issued a

Senator Presley Smith, OF Paragon, who
represented Marion and Morgan counties
in the upper branch of the State Legisia-
ture last winter. and under the new appoT-
tionment will represent Morgan, Owen and
Putnam during the remainder OF his term,
has been in the city this week as one Of the
class that passed several degrees In Ma
sonic wisdom and experience at the Scot
fish Rite convocation.
Lets sit down; my feet are tired" he
said last night at the English, and he sat
down one who has travelled a long and
weary road. There's not much politics
over our way" he continued. II believe
that the Republicans of Morgan county are
for Julian H0gate for district committee
man and for Mr. Holiday for congressman.
If were to say anything about the recent
vice presidential talk Id say that d rather
see Senator Fairbanks go after first than
second place.
Senator Smith. by the way, is entitled TO
credit for the first step toward the excess
vote rule as applied 10 joint legislative dis
tricts. Last winter, toward the close of the
session of the Legislature, ne introduced
vided that in joint legislative conventions
the larger counties should be entitled only
to such delegates as their excess vote
would entitle them to, and he succeeded In
getting the bill through the senate, When
it reached the House an effort was made
to pass il under suspension OF the rules,
but il failed by few votes, and the bill
then went TO committee, where Ii died
peaceful death in the closing days OF the
session. The bill embodied the same points
as the rule recently approved by the sub
committee on rules of the Republican State
committee.
Maj. A. G. Lupton, of Hartford City, one
of the Republicans who do things" in
Blackford county, was one of the Eleventh
district crowd around the Denison last
evening He, however, was not concerned
about any conference that might be or.
Il am interested in politics, of course, he
said, but L am not worrying about every
little move that may be made in the
game"
Mr.. Lupton intimated that the Repu-
licanS OF Blackboard county, many of them,
expect Maj. George w. Steele, of Marion.
to make the race for Congress next year,
and also expect to see him secure the nomi-
nation.
Enoch c. Hogate, formerly of Danville
and at present a member of the faculty of
the law school at the State University at
| Bloomington, was in the city a few hours
yesterday. He says that he is enjoying his
college work very much and is pleasantly
| situated in every particular.
II don't lear much OF politics any more, '

Republican gubernatorial nomination three
years ago, land l can't say that L am sor-

Speaking of quick action" there is GER
tainly nothing slow about the President and
Secretary Hay, when IL comes to taking
advantage of any situation that may arise.
and getting out of il all there is in IL for
the American people The world has
scarcely realized that there has been a
revolution in Panama, but within two
weeks the new republic has been recog-
niZed, its minister has been received In
Washington and a new canal treaty has
been threshed out, licked into shape and
signed When anything is TO be done it may
as well be done at once, and, so long as
good judgment is exercised, the quicker
the better. Now, if the Senate will only
become imbued with the same spirit of
energy and realize a good thing when it
sees it-and realize 1t quickly-there is no
good reason why work on this long-deferred
and much-needed canal should not begin
speedily

An investigation to ascertain the cause
of the poor quality of Illuminating gas

seem to be in order. AS the city makes
people get their moneys worth in a pure
quality of gas. Whatever the cause may
be, the illuminating power of the gas now
being furnished is very low, and it carries
a large amount of impurity.

The case of Jesse Mcclure, the child
murderer, whose trial is TO begin at Tip
ton in a few days, presents the unusual
feature of an abused wife urging the con-
viction and punishment by hanging of her
husband and father of her child. Readers
of the Journal will probably recall the
circumstances of the murder. 1t was an
atrocious crime, and, anticipating the
usual plea of insanity in defense, the wife
declares there is nothing in it. Her tes-
timony on this point ought to outweigh
that of any number of insanity experts.
