DENMAN THOMPSON ENTERS
INTO REST.

The death of Denman Thompson
does not come as surprise, but it il
none the less a source of deep and
universal regret. He was seventy
seven. years of age, and for many
years had been in failing health. Sc
much had the great part he created be-
come interviewer with his own nature
that he could not get his own consent
to give it up, SO until the very begin
ming of his last illness he was present
ing the character in Philadelphia.
The everyday homespun virtues
have rarely been set forth in more
touching and convincing form than by
Denman Thompson as Uncle Josh Whit
comb in, 'The Old Homestead" Two
generations have laughed and wept
over it. It's congeners, like Hazel
Kirke" and Peaceful Valley" have had
their periods of popularity, and yet
none of them have made the lasting ap-
peal which seemed to attach to "The
Old Homestead" He made the world
better for having lived in it and there
is deep regret. at his death.

THE NATIONAL MONETARY
COMMISSION.

Senator Cummins has introduced {
bill to abolish the National Monetary
Commission, requiring it to make {
final report by December 5 next.
The bill ought to pass; and it's pas
sage should especially be favored by
people who sincerely indorse sweeping
currency and banking reforms.
If this commission, as now consti
tuted, should propose a currency plar
representing the very ultima thule Of
fiscal wisdom, that plan would be
damned from its first sight of day,
light; not on its merits, but because
of its origin. The present commits,
sion has been under susp picion from the
day it was created. Endowed with
most remarkable powers, with un-
limited authority to spend money, and
composed of members who remain on
the commission after their term of
Congressional service has ended, this
body has fallen into disrepute with the
country.
1t is regarded on one side as refuge
for lame ducks, selected with reference
to their subservience to Mr.. Aldrich
rather than consideration for their
abilities in the realm of finance; and
on the other side, it is widely looked
upon as a carefully organized project
for putting forward a currency plan
that will strengthen the grip of con-
solidated banking interests on the na-
tional finances.
On neither of these grounds can the
commission command confidence in any
recommendations it may make. 1t has
without doubt done some useful work
thus far. 1t has got together a re-
markable library of information on the
modern banking, currency, and ex-
change systems of the world. This
material has been prepared by men
whose names will command a consider
able confidence in their conclusions;
but their work will stand better with
the people if it is divorced from the
further supervision of the present COM
mission.
Senator Cummins' bill should pass.
If there is to be financial legislation
and for that we can descry small pros
pect, in the present era of turmoil and
political change-it would better be
formulated by the appropriate COM
mittees of Congress, SO reconstructed
as to command larger confidence than
has been reposed in them heretofore.
The old Aldrich commission can serve
only as a brake and a deterrent to
real accomplishment.
