“The Do-Nothing Policy. New York World. Speaker Reed’s remarks in the re- publican caucus and upon taking the | chair have been generally accepted ag indicating a do-nothing policy by | congress. His sayings that “history | may accord us praise for what we do not do,” and that “there are times when rest is as health giving as ex-| ercise,” if they do indicate, as is be- lieved, an all-round, do-nothing pol- icy, propose the neglect of most im- portant public duties. In that sense they are the words of a politician und a candidate, not of a patriot and a statesman. A rest on tariff disturbance is no doubt desired and demanded. The| country has adjusted itself to ahe! new scedules. Business is prosper- ing. Labor is well employed. Com- merce has revived. will receive for the current calendar The treasury year over $20,000,000 more revenue from customs than it did in the last fiscal year of the McKinley tariff. It this year $35,000,000 To disturb ld be both will receive more than it did last. these conditions now a blunder and a crime But this does not absolve for the deficiency in the revenue. This de- ficiency is due to the decision of the supreme court, upon the procure ment of a conspiracy of wealth, nul- lifying the income tax. The logical the just and the easiest course to pursue is to raise the needed $30, 000,000 by an increased revenue tax on beer. But if thiscannot be done congress should safeguard the treas- ury in some other way. This may be done by authorizing the issue of treasury certificates or short-term bonds, under proper restrictions, to meet emergencies like the present. No government should be left with it’s credit unprotected. To do noth- ing new for the deliberate purpose of “leaving the Administration in a hole” for the next campaign would be a shameful and dangerous omis- sion. It will end the smart Mr. Reed asa presidential possibility if j tate. Dr. Seinen in the Toils. liam F. Hammond, aged about 40, a minister of the gospel, was arrest- ed here to-day and conducted to| police headquarters. “Dr.” ;mond is charged with having com | mitted almost every crime in the | calendar. Hammond's oe which adorns almost every well regulated rogue’s gallery the country, bears the followi scrip- tion on the reverse side: “Rev. | William Hammond, thief, confidence map, bigamist and all round crook.” | “Dr.” Hammond has been given more space in newspapers in differ ent parts of the country than “7 other criminal known.

He married an estimable lady in Melbourne. He then returre ed to the United States aud on July 20, 1890, his wife died suddenly. He was then practing medicine. He returned to New Zealand iu 1891, where he married again. The “Dr.” once practiced at Bedford, Mass., Allentown, Pa.,and in South Putney, N. Y. He claimed he had beena Catholic priest. In 1884 he wasa Baptist minister in Wolfe Lake, he shalt forget that he cannot “leave the administration in a hole” with- out incurring the danger of throwing the business of the country again into the ditch. it will be a further neglect of duty if congress shall do nothing looking tothe cure of the confusion into which our currency has fallen. The next logical step after the resump- tion of specie payments has never been taken. On the contrary, our currency condition has grown stead- ily worse for the past seventeen years under the coinage of a great store of silver dollars representing now only about 50 cents of their nominal value, avd an inflation of $150,000,000 in treasury notes issued for the purchase of silver and nom- inally redeemable in the name, but actually a drain upon and an added menace to the gold reserve. As the president says in his message, the government is “forced to redeem without redemption and to pay without acquittance,” under the law requiring the reissue of legal tender. It is the duty of congress to do something to remedy this condition of things, if it is nothing more than the prncintnent of an expert, non-| partisan monetary commission to| | consider and report upon it. The} president has presented his plan, but he assures congress that he is “prepared to co-operate with them in perfecting any cther measure promising thorough and practical relief.” This is the patriotic spirit. Speaker Reed and his pariy assoc cannot afford to refuse to meet the president half way. | Confederate Reunion Dates. | New Orleana, La., Dee. 7.—Adju | tint General Moorman, by order of | General Gordon, commanding | | United States confederate veterans, | has issued an order naming Tuesday | June 30, and Wednes: day, July land 2,8 the dates, ifr “ olding the next confederate reunion e the city of Richmond, Va The pines also announees that 721 camps have joined the association, and that applications have bean made for papers for 100 more.

He was arrested by Sheriff Hatton at Walnut Ridge, Ark., where was living with the wo- man he ran off with as his wife un- der the assumed name of Short. The woman left at once for her home at Knob Noster, Mo., and Burson was brought here and placed in jail.
