,,ovETABy REORGANIZATION.

No one who heard Senator Aldrtc1's
speech before the Academy of Political
Science could fail TO agree with the
chairman of the National Monetary
Commission when be said: IF any So
Tuition of this question is TO be reached
"st all, 1t must be reached without a
single question of political partisanship-
..It is not and must not become in any
''sense a political question" However
oninion NAV vary with regard to the
solution of the great problems which the
National Monetary Commission is strlv-
ing TO solve, there cannot be any queS-
tion regarding the undesirability Of mag
nifyine- its task by the injection of pol1tl-
cal considerations.
Senator Aldrich gave little indication
of the direction in which opinion IN the
Monetary Commission is tending, but
one remark he made clearly indicates
gratifying degree of progress He laid
amnbasis on the great Importance OF
system which should make our I'M
'mense capital always equal TO any
emergency and always available lot the
..wants of the business community OF thls
"ereat country" pointing out that this
nhase of the problem is of vastly more
Importance than any question OF no'e
issues" This view, always maintained
Inv The Tribune. indicates material prog
ress on the part of the chairman. at
least. of the commission, and comple'e
realization of the relative Importance ~
rho various phases of the problem
certainly aug,lrs we'll for their proper
solution.
I-tilization of the vast credit OF the
nation which shall be both pracucal ana
safe is the chief problem which the Ma
tional Monetary Commission is called
unon TO solve, and with that solved II le
reasonable TO assume that the othef
questions with which the commission mas
to deal viii prove comparatively easy
OF answer.
Mr.. AIdrichs appeal for non-partlSai
consideration of the questions BEFORE lli'
commission is especially timely in We"
! of recent Democratic victories. IN MI
Aldrich himself and in majority OF tll'
| ,,ernhers of the commission Republcah'
have naturally, no small measure o
confidence 4 similar measure OF con
fdence is hardly 10 be expected IRON
democrats. 1t becomes all the more I'M
,,ortopt therefore. that Democrats II
congress should be prepared TO examine
the report of the Monetary Coilililssi"i
n,,ralv on its merits and without pfeJu
dice because of the politics OF the mel
who sign il. 1t can hardly fail 10 be III
occasion of satisfaction to Democrats
Generally. however, that some OF lheii
,bIest representatives are members oI
tho commission, notably ex-senator
Teller in whose every statement OF lac
the most implicit confidence should Ut
ro,,oead bv both Republicans and Demo
Gratis alike. OF course. il may be re
caIIad that Senator Teller left the he
nublican party on the free silver Issue
b,+ that recollection need not mlllIdt'
ogoinst the credibility Of Mr.. Teller !
assertions Of fact.
Tho commission is. moreover. WORN
inc with the utmost care, ana thefe
rooson to believe that when 1t has coh
clr,ded its labors it will present IN sup
ror+ of IFS conclusions reasons so cleafi'
sot forth that he who runs may feau
r7ba,, will come the test Of greatness II
+bo Marty in power Will it have tn
wisdom to act on the report without re
card +o nartisan considerations or locd
