China Reject. the Gold Standard

A recent decision OF the Chinese Gov
eminent is OF great importance as touch
ING It's relations with the outside world,
and as an indication Of it's own strength
enjng national sentiment IL concerns
the proposal to change It's monetary
system which has been urged upon it by
the West.
The subject has been examined with
all the closeness and analytical keenness
Characteristic Of the Chinese in such
matters, but the decision was based more
particularly on n memorandum drawn
up by the Viceroy TcHANo-TcHI-ToNd.
the principal among the leaders OF the
nationalist idea in China, Tho Vioeroy
opposed the adoption OF fixed gold
standard with great vigor, chiefly on
national grounds, and the Court has
decided TO give effect 70 his advice and
conclusions by allowing matters to re-
main as they are. He represented that,
complicated as the present system lie, the
Chinese people have become so habit
uated to it in their internal trade that a
sudden change TO a new system. which
would have to be forcibly imposed. could
hardly fail TO produce such economic
confusion that a revolution, dangerous
alike 10 the dynasty and the national
independence, would be its probable
result. Other considerations relating
to the difference between Eastern and
Western methods were advanced.
The fact that the Chinese Government
has in its different treaties Of commerce
agreed to clauses engaging il TO adopt
a gold standard suitable 10 Chinese con-
ditions would seem to render this de-
cision not 20 disturb the existing system
or absence OF system. a breach Of treaty
engagements But obviously the Chinese
Government cannot help itself. The
anti-foreign sentiment among the people
would be greatly aggravated by the COM
plete upsetting Of the conventional and
local values Of their currency; and the
Government might contend that, as the
treaties were made under pressure, it
was not able TO do otherwise than sub
scribe TO the conditions imposed.
The decision. however. it is said, is not

Every citizen Of New York Will hope
that District Attorney JEROME present
effort to enforce the gambling laws will
result in disclosing the identity OF that
mysterious parsonage, HIGHER Up.
HIGHER UP has been one of the most
talked OF individuals in the town Tor
several years past. and il has been an
nounced time and again that he had been
trapped. But never yet has HIGHER UP
been caught He has eluded Police Com
missoners. District Attorneys and the
host OF volunteer crime and criminal
detectives, always and apparently with
ease, and he has continued to flourish.
Whenever a name has been disclosed
it has been that OF an individual not
worth bagging in a really elaborate
hunt for great criminals
What If il should turn out that HIGHER
Up was a myth? That there was no
great, important, all-powerful person
age, capable OF selling to lawbreakers
immunity from police interference? One
OF the most picturesque figures would
disappear from metropolitan life, and
a great number of worthy men would
have TO find new topic of conversation.
After all, is there such n parsonage
as HIGHER UP? Is there any probability
that any single individual exists whose
special function it is to receive the hush
money and the bride money which every
body understands must be paid for the
aiIanca and nrOtnction NJ tho pOlice bv
hordes OF people who make their living
by openly violating the laws in the city
of New York?
Finally, is 1t necessary to catch HIGHER
UP in order to break up the Infamous
SYSTEM Where the bride and hush
money goes may be Of curious interest;
but the important point is that the money
is paid, whether it goes to HIGHER Up
or to LOWER DOWN.

The President and the south.

We print to-day letter from a South
ern gentleman in which he expresses
surprise that here at the North so little
notice has been taken by the papers and
people" of a letter Of the President ex-
pressive Of good feeling toward the
South.
IF there is any such inattention in the
North it is because there is nothing new
or peculiar in the sentiment toward the
South expressed by Mr. ROOSEVELT.
Like good feeling exists throughout
the North. and it extends to the people
generally; Of i'll feeling there is none.
In New York there are thousands Of
Southerners who know by experience in
social. business and professional rela-
tions hat the feeling toward them is only
good. In this great town we make no
distinction between Northerner and
southerner; and nowhere in the Northern
States is any man distinguished nor dcos
he distinguish himself as "Northerner.
He is simply an American.
We have elected many Southeners TO
Office They are free TO think and talk
and vote as they please. Every opportu-
nifty open to any other citizen is open TO
them. and among those who have best i'm
proved their opportunities are our citizens
from the South Southern men in New
York are in the foremost ranks Of the pro-
LESSONS and are conspicuous in business
and public life. They are numerous in
the choicest clubs and social circles.
People up here, therefore, do not re-
gard expressions of friendly feeling
toward the South and toward Southern
ers as singular, for there is no other feel
ing in any breast. Mr.. ROOSEVELT sim
ply gave fran aud manly utterance to
prevailing sentiment.
We will merely add that we learn from
unimpeachable authority that since the
late election there has been an extraor-
binary chance of feeling toward the
President in the South, that he has be-
come a hero in Southern eyes and the
policies he represents have won their
cordial favor To this new and pre-
vailing Southern sentiment we call the
attention of the Republican leaders in
Congress for il may have consequences
of momentous political importance in
the not distant future.
