THE TREAsURER's REPORT.

Secretary of the Treasury Cjfielyou
in his annual report called upon Congress
for the speedy enactment "of wise laws
for the prevention in the future of dis
asters due, in part at least, to the imper-
feet organization of our monetary
system." la 80 doing he places upon
Congress full responsibility for failure in
the past to meet the demands for currency
reform, and strikes back at Chairman
Fowler of the House committee on bsnk-
ing and currency, who recently denoun
cei Secretary COrtelSou for his issue Of
emergency certificates of Indebtedness.
He says 81 deem 1t important that
something be done as speedily as may
be consistent = to provide under
government guaranty greater elasticity
TO the currency. Simplicity Of plan and
promptnesl of action are what the people
need aud will dem and. The only specific
recommendation | would make at present
is that it be given prompt attention, ADD
that it be not laid aside until some
definite means OF relief shall hsvs been
enacted into law 1t is said that many
of our people have boarded money. This
is undoubtedly true; but so have macy
of the banks. The Secretary of the
Treasury Is given wide discretion in
many matters wherein he is rarely called
upon to exercise it, aud little, if any, 10
others where 1t is needed daily.

TO SETTLE DEBT QUESTION.

Ii is said in Richmond that West Vir-
GINA and Virginia may soon effect
settlement of the deb, question, which
has ben pending for many years. This
information comes simultaneously with a
conference between john B. Moon, OF
AIbemarle, chairman Of the Stale debt
commission, and The Attorney General.
wiih Governor Swanson.
The understanding is thst here has
been no official and authorized proff:r OF
A compromise, but that there is letter
or communication of some sort which
has found its way into the hands of some
Virginia officials which opens up the
way for au adjustment of the disputed
account. Just who sen. the letter Is
not knogn, and it is not positively
known who received it, hut when Gov
ernor Swanson was asked regarding the
matter yesterday, he declioed to deny
that such q proposition had been heard
of. He would not admit, however, that
be had received 1t.
From what can be gathered, 1t is plain
that the pyof4r comes in the shape OF a
teller to see, jast what sentiment is 10
this State and 10 ascertain wht Their the
people are willing to proceed to an sd-
Indication without the decree from the
Supreme Court OF the United States.
The sentiment fsyors speedy setil--
ment, not too exactiUg, but al ending OF
the vexatious dispute. The original
debt WAS some $l5,0O0,0O0, bu; inter
est, expenses and various charges have
brought the amount up to at least twice
