THE SILVER QUESTION AGAIN.

The silver question is at the front
again. The proposition now is to re-
establish silver at the ratio of 80 to l.
a proposition that must be rather
startling to those who, not very long
ago. were insisting that silver should
be recognized at the ratio of 16 to /.
In all the countries. however, where
silver is the standard there is great
trouble with the currency, owing to the
fiuctuation in the price of silver. MIR.
Roosevelt's administration is endeav-
oring now to place the currency of the
Philippines on a gold basis, recogniz-
ing silver at parity with gold at the
ratio of 80 to l. The House has re-
fused to second it's efforts, twenty Re-
publicans Joining with the Democrats
to establish the currency system of the
United States in the islands What
the Senate will do it is of course inn
possible to forsee. No doubt, how
ever, the administration will continue
to insist upon it's plan as long as there
is a chance for success.
n mexican banker, who is in this
country for the purpose of studying
our currency system. has asked Mr..
Hay, Secretary of State, to appoint
commission to meet Mexican COM
mission for the purpose of fixing a re-
lation between gold and silver that will
be acceptable to all the world. A
French commission is now sitting in
Indo-China and an English commission
in the Straits Settlement with the hope
of bringing order out of the chaos of
the currencies of those countries, but
it is doubtful if they will meet with
much success, unless there is united
action in regard to the ratio of silver
to gold by all of the great commercial
nations.
The trouble is that it is impossible
to Ak upon a ratio that will be at
all stable. If the ratio of go to l
should be adopted it might give tenn
porary relief to silver standard coun-
tries. but the fluctuations would con-
tinue, and in the course of a few years

THE LESsLER BRIBERY CASE.

1t is probable that the country took
comparatively little interest in the
Lessler bribery investigation when it
was ordered. 1t is interested now, how
ever. 1t is evident that somebody is
doing vast deal of prevaricating.
The House Committee on Naval At
fairs is determined to find the truth,
and the indications are that there will
be trouble for somebody.
Congressman Lessler is a young man
from New York city. He achieved some
notoriety by beating Mr.. Perry Bel
mont in the race for Congress. His
youth and the rather remarkable cam
paign he made called the attention of
the country to him. .-
Recently he let it be known that an
attempt had been made to bride him.
1t was alleged that 5000 had been
offered him to support a report of the
Committee on Naval Affairs in favor
OF building another Holland torpedo
boat, he being a member of that COM
mittee. An investigation was ordered,
and witness named Doblin appeared
and stated that he approached Mr..
Lessler with that offer, and that he
had been authorized to do so by ex-
Congressman Quigg of New York. Mr..
Quigg before the committee declared
that there was no truth in Mr. Dob
Inns statement, and yesterday Mr..
Doblin retracted what he had said
about Mr.. Quigg having authorized
him to make an offer to Mr.. Lessler.
And now Mr.. Lessler admits that
he doesn't know what to say. He does
occupy very awkward position, par
ticularly as Doblin says that he told
Mr.. Lessler that he could not stand for
the story that he had told about Mr.
Quigg making an offer of $1,000, and
that he was informed he would have
to stand for it.
AS we said, the affair has become
decidedly interesting. Doblin has got
himself in trouble. Clearly he has
placed himself in a position where
there would be no sympathy for him
if he should be severely punished.

The Talking Dog.

An old but still droll story is narrat-
ed in the New York Weekly of a talk
ing dog to which the power of speech
was seemingly given by the art of a
Ventriloquist. The dog and his master
arrived at a hotel, the latter with only
d quarter of a dollar in his pocket.
well, what will you haYe?' asked
the proprietor.
I'll take little whisky" said the
Ventriloquist, and then, turning to the
dog, he asked: What will you have ?"
I'll take a ham sandwich" was the
dogs reply.
The hotelkeeper was breathless for a
moment from establishment. He stared
at the dog in amazement.
What did you say?'' he asked it.
II said a ham sandwich"
The proprietor was so impressed by
the unheard-of phenomenon of a talk
ing dog that in the end he offered to
buy it.
oh" said the ventriloquist, II
wouldn't sell him at any price: but if
you'll lend me thirty dollars I'll leave
him with you till bring back the
money!"
To this the hotelkeeper agreed,
thinking he would have some fun with
his friends and neighbors. Everything
was settled and the money paid. AS
and waved his hand to the dog.
well, goodbye, Jack!" he said. "Tll
come back soon."
"You mean brute, to sell me for thir-
ty dollars, after all I've done for you!"
answered the dog. "I'll never speak
another word as long as 1 live!" And
he didn't.

De Wolf Hopper is one of those IN
fortunates who constantly labor under
the influence of Broadway, says the
Chicago Tribune. When he is off Man
haitian Island he is unhappy, and he
takes every possible chance to get
back to the sacred soil. Recently he
was playing in Philadelphia, and he
took advantage of a day off to run
over to New York and the Lambs
Club.
Sitting in the grillroom on the night
of his respite. he was feeling ready to
throw discretion and money to the
birds. His old waiter came up and
asked for the order.

what was the biggest tip you ever got
in your life?"
Fifteen dollars was the most ever
got. sir"

The waiter took the bill and started
to have a fit.
"By the way, Fred said Hopper,
who was the sucker who gave you the
fifteen?"

the twenty in his pocket, "that-beg-
ging your pardon, sir-the man who
gave me the fifteen was you, sir"

CURRENT COMMENT,

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd) says: THE Democratic substi
tute for the Philippine currency bill
adopted by the House has decided
merits, even though it's provisions may
fail in some particulars to fit into the
money situation of the islands as nice
ly as might be desired. Our money is
constantly being shipped to the islands
and must continue more and more to
enter into the circulation there. Rv
the measure passed through the House
the whole Philippine monetary system
is to be adjusted to that of the United
States without reducing the present
volume in circulation or permitting of
it's increase through additions of ire
deemable silver, This at least simpli-
fies the matter and puts the importa-
tons OF money from the United States
into harmonious relations with the
money of the islands"
The Philadelphia Record CDem1
says: Bishop Potter seems to have
accepted the dictum of President Har-
rison that "a cheap coat makes a cheap
man. At meeting of the Consumers
League the bishop said: You can't
buy anything on a bargain counter
without finding on it. if your eyes are
sharp enough, a stain of blood some-
where. In its passion for economy at
one end of the scale he continued. So
ciety is guilty of most cruel extrava-
gance at the other But the person
who pays high price for an article
has no assurance that the workmen
and workwomen who constructed it
were proportionately paid. The great
er part of the community is compelled
to be economical. Most of the indus
trial progress of the world is due to
the efforts of manufacturers to econo-
mize the cost of production so that
they can reduce their selling prices.
and If one must pay high prices one
must buy fewer articles, and the de-
mand for labor would be reduced"
The New York Evening Post Qnd)
says: pension seekers will hail with
approval a suggestion to be found in
the message of the retiring Governor
of South Carolina. Dissatisfied with
the conduct of the county boards
which have distributed the 5000. 900 an
propriated annually for the pensions of
Confederate veterans, Gov. McSweenev
recommends that the executive officers
of the camps of United Confederate
Veterans in each county shall act as a
pension board, and pass upon all appli-
cants. In other words, he would nut
the beneficiaries of the pension fund
in charge of its disbursement. The G.
A. r. would have no need to fight
against stiff pension commits
sioners If each post of that organiza-
ton were permitted to vote pensions
to as many of it's members as it be-
heved to be deserving. The safeguard
in South Carolina is that the pension
fund is limited, and the more minute
ly ii is divided the less each man gets.
Logically, if the principle is once
granted, the associations of veterans
should be allowed to decide on the
amount of the pensions as well as their
recipientAS

A LEE MONUMENT AT GETrYsBURG


We do not believe the opposition Of
the Ezra S. Griffin Post of Scranton
of the Grand Army of the Republic
to the erection of a monument to Gen.
Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg by the
joint efforts of Pennsylvania and Vir-
ginia expresses the sentiment in regard
to the matter which prevails at the
North. AS far as we have been able
to observe the Northern people enter
tain profound regard for the memory
of Gen. Lee, and If an expression of
opinion in respect to the monument
proposition could be obtained we are
sure it would be found overwhelmingly
in favor of it. There are no doubt
many in the North who are still so
Influenced by the feelings growing out
of the Civil War that they cannot
bring themselves to consent that their
section shall be a party to any tribute
to the memory of the great soldier and
good man who directed the forces of
the Confederacy with such consumat tie
skill, but there are reasons for think
ing they are n small minority.
1t is worthy of notice that the in
fluential papers of Pennsylvania are in
favor of the proposition. They are
pointing out that the history of the
battle of Gettysburg would be incom-
pletely told-the battle which was per-
haps the turning point of the Civil
War-if monuments to the heroes of
only one side were erected on its field.
Besides, the position is taken that the
heroism displayed and the glorious
deeds done on that field belong to all
Americans, and all Americans are
proud of them.
The opposition to the monument prop
osition may cause delay in the cree
ton of the monument, but it will not
prevent it. The fame of Gen. Lee
is growing all the time, and the re-
gard of all Americans for his memory
is steadily increasing. The monument
is sure to be erected. If this genera
ton does not erect it the next will.

The Common Pleas Court of Provi-
oence' r. l., has decided that a bicycle
is not a vehicle or conveyance in the
view Of the law. A wheelman ran into
bad piece of roadway in the dark
and was thrown and injured. He sued
the city for damages. The court held
mat when the law specified that the
municipal corporation should keep the
streets and highways in repair for We
hicles and conveyances it had no
reference whatever to bicycles. The
case will be taken to a higher court,
as II deserves to be. If a bicycle is
neither a vehicle nor a conveyance,
1t is rather difficult to imagine what
1t really is.

AUTHORITY
TIONER-
CUES

Senator Morgan is in doubt whether
Thomas Herran. charge d'affairs Of Co.
lombia had authority to sign the treaty
just made between this country and
Colombia granting US concessions in
connection with the Panama canal. The
point he makes is that there has been
no election in Colombia since 1888. and
that in the event of a new administra-
ton coming into power the act of the
present government, whose representa-
tive Mr.. Herran is. the treaty might
be repudiated. In that case the &c.
100000 which we are to pay for the con-
cessions might be lost. It is Of the
highest Importance therefore that it
should be made clear that Mr.. Her
rams authority is beyond all dispute.
Undoubtedly there is a great deal of
irregularity in the government of CO.
lombia 1t is a pretty difficult mat
ter sometimes to tell whether the adj
ministration in power is in legal con-
troll or not. 1t seems to us that Sen
ator Morgan has opened up a question
that will admit of a vast deal of inves-
tigation without arriving at any salts
factory conclusion. If it be a fact that
there has been no election in Colom-
bia for more than fourteen years, that
the present government does not rep
resent the will of the people, but is the
government of political adventures, it
may well be doubted whether Mr.. Her.
ran has such authority as to enable
him to sign a treaty giving US valua-
bic concessions and protecting US in
paying the Colombian government a
vast sum of money
1t may be that the Senate Will be
forced to one conclusion, namely, that
in view of the numerous revolutions in
Colombia the only thing we can do is
to recognize the government that ac-
tually has control of affairs. and hold
on to what we get for our money by
force If there is ever an attempt to de-
feat our title to. or to Gust us from.
the territory conceded to us. 1t is
probable that the world would sustain
us in that position. If we wait for
the establishment of government that
is admitted to be a government Of the
people before accepting the concessions
we need for the canal, the chances are
we shall never begin the construction of
the canal on the Panama route. And
we might experience a similar trouble
II we should select any other route.
