Gold Standard in Mexico,
rom the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
The bill introduced in the Mexican Con-
gress yesterday with the approval of Presi-
dent Diaz, the finance minister and the
cabinet, assures the adoption of the gold
standard in Mexico at an early date. It
was probably because of the general con-
fidence that this step would be taken that
the little republic on our southern borders
was able to recently dispose of its forty
millions of four-per-cent bonds-the first un-
secured loan 1t ever noated.
While the general prosperity of the coun-
try has increased the earnings upon for
eign capital-particularly that invested in
railways which havesbeen mostly built by
Americans-these have been very much re-
duced by exchanging into gold the silver
received. Under free coinage the Mexican
dollar is simply worth it's price as bullion
and fiuctuates with the varying prices of
the white metal. Hence Mexico's COM
merce has been restricted because 1t has
had no permanent basis for it's calculation
and foreign capital which otherwise would
have poured in to assist in developing the
great resources of the country has held
back for fear of repayment In deprecated
currency.

Battle Of the Colors.
From the Boston Transcript.

1t is pretty contest that Is going on be-
tween the browns and the plums for while
the plums have for this winter at least Sc
cured in New York the position Of first
place, Boston does not yet acknowledge the
supremacy of either shade. How can it,
being the unbiased Judge 1t is in matters
sartorial? The plum shades perhaps have
not been in vogue for SO long time as the
browns, and thus have claim to respect
full consideration, and yet the browns, the
right shade of browns, when worn by girls
with the right shade of reddish brown hair
are irresistibly charming and make for
cheerfulness and good will wherever two
or three Illustrations are gathered together
1t is catholic age in the matter of fash
Ions anyway, and no one need live by rules
that are misfits and discords

HOME FOR THE BLIND.
Local Institution Where Reform is Elk
emplified.

Washington is comparatively Tree from
street beggars now. thanks to the close at
tention given them by the police. and the
conditions are regarded as vastly I'M
proved over those of former years. There
are many crippled and superannuated In
dividuals who circumvent the law by sell
ing lead pencils and other small articles on
the streets, but long as they do not
obstruct the highway the police are pow
erless to interfere.
One of the most lasting reforms effected
in recent years was that which resulted In
the removal of the blind from the streets OF
our national capital. This is due to the
establishment of the Aid Association for
the Blind at 915 street northwest.
In an endeavor to clear the thoroughfares
of these unfortunates without sending
them to the almshouse Major Sylvester
found the Home for the Blind willing to
receive them.
A small number of regular subscribers,
aided by the efforts of thirty well-known
women managers, maintain this worthy
charity.
In speaking of this institution Major Syl-
vester said: 1T is most worthy and cred
itably conducted home, with accommoda-
tons for at least twenty persons"
The inmates are not kept idle; the men
make brooms and remake mattresses and
cane chairs, doing their work as well as
seeing labor can, only little more slowly.
The women make belts and bags of shoe
strings and plain sewing, which bring the
home revenue.
Several Of the rooms have been fitted up
by womens clubs and individuals. The in
mates are under excellent discipline, are
afforded ample recreation, and enjoy read
ings and music at stated periods.
Congress makes no provision for the blind
in the District, and were 1t not for the
good ladies who give their time. energy
an Ia m no 1rln1l o6
to find shelter at the almshouse
This worthy institution. SO well conduct
ed, enables the police to say to the blind
on the streets: You will have to go else
where; you can find home and work with
the Aid Association at 915 E street.
Not only are the doors open to the de-
pendent, but to any one who is blind and
wants a home where idleness is discour-
aged.
The association makes an annual report
of it's transactions and conduct to the
superintendent Of charities, although not a
government establishment.
1t is desired that the friends and we'll
wishers of this most unfortunate class will
remember the home for the blind in their
Thanksgiving offerings.

HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Harvey Smith Admits Having Stolen
Jewelry Valued at 1000.

Harvey w. Smith, colored, eighteen years
old, entered plea of guilty when he was
arraigned in the Police Court this morning
for the alleged theft of lot of jewelry
valued at $1,000. He was held for the
action Of the grand jury and was COM
mitted to jail in default of $500 security.
1t was charged that he stole the jewelry
from the apartments of Mr.. c. A. Williams
in the Portner flats yesterday morning
Mrs. Williams was alone in her apartments
about 10 o'clock when she heard a noise In
an adjoining room. Mrs. Williams paid
but little attention to the noise until she
found that the robbery had occurred and
then she notified her husband.
About 3 o'clock the police were notified
Of the theft and Smith was then put under
arrest. He had had occasion to visit the
Portner flats prior to yesterday to deliver
flowers, and II anybody saw him in there
yesterday no attention was paid to him.
He admits that he tried several doors and
that he found none open until he reached
Mr.. Williams apartments When he found
so much jewelry In the bag he became I'M
easy, he said, and was at a loss to know
what to do with 1t. Taking out three rings,
a brooch and a heart studded with pearls,
he went to an apartment house at 14th and
Princeton streets and dropped the bag con-
tanning the remainder Of the jewelry to the
bottom of the airshaft Then he proceeded
to the business section of the city, where
he sold one of the rings in aipawnshop. A
second paWnShop was visited, and the
dealer, becoming suspicious. called in the
police.

Need Of Opposition.

From the Indianapolis News.
All republicans and all Americans ought
to hope that the democratic party will be
recognized on old lines and become once
more formidable party, as aggressive aS
ever, more progressive than formerly and,
therefore, more useful.
1t is not desirable and would not be a
safe condition for any political party to be
long In control of the government without
organized oppositton.
