sible but that if we were to avoid pancs and high
bank rates. it was all-important that the gold carried
in the waiscoat pockets of the people should be col
lected and paid into central to supplement
the utterly inadequate reserve in the Bank of Eng
land. This second reserve was not to be drawn
except when, today the exchanges favor There

currency, and Mr. Goschen proposed to buy these

secured by coined shillings by silver bullion. The
proposal was, would expect coming from
great authority, perfectly sound. Pound notes of
full legal tender, he very properly pointed out would
initiate the currency, raise prices, increase imports,
wished to avoid. But ten shilling notes, non-lega1
tender, would not affect prices, and would provide
great central gold reserve at a cost of four shill-

proposal; file of The Times is available to those
who are interested and can mold public opinion.

Apples From Oregon.

Senator Jonathan Bourne, of Oregon, has made
himself solid for life with the newspaper CORE
spondents. The following letter, addressed to James
D. Preston, superintendent of the Senate press gal
lery, will explain:
Dear Mr. Preston: I am sending you, for dis
tribution among the newspaper correspondents four
boxes of Oregon apples, grown in the Hood River
Valley. 1t is boast that Oregon apples the
finest grown in the United States and I trust that
the samples will convince the newspaper of the
fairness of claim. Very sincerely,
JONATHAN BOURNE, JR.
The apples came and were eaten, and the news
paper conquered. Of the large Spitz-
bergen variety, they ruddy apples should
be, solid every one, and of just that half sweet and
half tart taste which delights the palate of the apple
lover.
1t was rather amusing sight, by the way, to see
two-score grown sitting about eating apples
with the apparent delight of children. And every
man got outside of two at least before he stopped
In fact the whole four boxes-or their contents
would have disappeared in short order had not
Jimmie Preston established Gordon of guards
about them, so that might be kept for the
fellows who happened to be out when the Spitz-
bergens arrived-Washington Cd. CO. Herald.

MUST DEFEAT M'GOvERN.
Excessive use of Money Needed to Ac-
 comnlish Such a Result.

The republican candidate for may or of the city of Hartford alone spent nearly $7,000 to advance the cause of which he was the repre- sentative. Eliminating the $500 Mir Hooker gave the chairman of the re- publican town committee from the statement made out by that party of ficial, which is accounted for in the statement made out by MT Hooker and sworn to, that committee through its chairman expended an amount in excess of $2.000. At the lowest call culation $10.000 was expended by one party in that campaign to fill an office which during the two years 1t may be occupied by its lawful in- cumbent returns but little more than half of that amount to him.
 It has been explained that 1t was necessary to'spend the amount that was expended to keep State Senator McGovern out of the republican nomination: that that gentleman in his- search for the golden fleece of municipal honors was ready to spend whatever was necessary to acquire it. For one l should prefer to believe that this assertion was put forth more in Pickwickian sense than in se- rious sense. Whether Senator Me- Govern Is the man the republicans of Hartford want for their mayor and whether in fact he is fitted for that post is for the republicans of Hart ford to determine, as they did, but fl is by no manner of means clear that the necessity for his defeat was so urgent that the excessive use of money was needed to accomplish it. That at once attributes to money the very characteristics the realization of which has everywhere made corrupt practices legislation inevitable.
 If 1t is true that Mayor Hooker would have been defeated, either in his ambition to become the candidate of his party for the nomination or the election, had he not clipped in literally to the party fund. then all that can be said for the Hartford election Is that 1t was after all a contest between dollars and not be- tween men. If situation can arise in a community where the result sought by the more intelligent must he reached out for hy the very meth ods which are commonly used by those whose elevation to office Is viewed with apprehension. the bet ter way would be to repeal the cor rupt practices law and return at once to the practices which made the political life of a generation or more ago dIsgracefuI In other words. it is one thing for the friends of Mayor Hooker to excuse his campaign ex- psnses on extraordinary grounds. but they gain nothing by arguing it. The fact remains that owing to the con- dffEous existing at the time. an hon. est and personally worthy man. who was asked to be a candidate for nay or and who was not therefore a self oHce seeker, vas mulcted of a sum Of roney larger by many hundreds thsn should have bssn spent bT b0th
