International Bimetalism. The full weight and meaning to be at- tached to the news from London concern- ing the proposition of the Bank of Engiand to recognize silver in its reserve fund may not be determined in this country at this time. London itself is not agreed on the subject. By some the proposition is re- garded as a mere feeler, put out to develop and gather sertiment in Europe about in- {ernational bimetalism. Others attach a far greater significance to it. But this much is certain, that the proposition has attracted widespread attention and awakened discussion in ail the leading financial centers, and out of this, it is relt, something of value ougiit to proczed to- ward the settlement of the whole bimetalic question. ‘The proposition is worthy of note on an- other score. It marks the third step going to justify President McKiniey’s action in sending a special monetary commission abread. The first step the securing by the commission of the co-operation of France in silver’s behalf. The second step was in their securing, with France's aid, the respectful attention of the British au- thorities. Now the Bank of England, the foremost financial institution in the world, enters into the negotiations, and with a Proposition so distinctly friendly to silver as to provoke vigorous protests from the hard-and-fast champions of the single gold standard. It was only a few months ago that the Bryanites were hooting at suggestions of this kind. They were absolutely certain that not even a decent reception abroad could be obtained for an American com- mission talking international bimetalism. Europe, they knew, cared nothing about the subject, and England was so antago- nistic that the bare mention of it there would excite derision in responsible quar- ters. Mr. Teller smiled at what he con- sidered a vagary of his brilliant colleague, and Mr. Bryan poked rhetorical fun at ihe project. Has enough been accomplished to war- Tant the United States in issuing invita- tions for another international monetary conference? While the outlook as com- pared with what it was in March last is very encouraging, much remains to be done. The English ministry will give its reply to the Wolcott commission next month, and that will have great infl ce in shaping the further rourse of things. But even as matters now stand the friends of international bimetalism have every reason to feel that their labors in the tause are not in vain. Another conference would undoubtedly find the question pos- sessed of important new phases which have been taken on since the holding of the Brussels conference. —>+o—___ The Indiana Lynching. In the wholesale lynching at Marseilles, Indiana, Tuesday night the victims were offenders against the laws of property and Not against the person. They had terror- ized the community for a long time. They had robbed right and left and had even gone so far as to torture the victims to force them to tell the secrets of the hiding places of money and other valuables. But under the laws of none of the states could their crime be legally punished by death. It is not easy to account for the readi- ness with which usually orderly citizens of a section heretofore free from such out- bursts of rage fall in with suggestions of lynch law. It may be due to the slowness of judicial procedure, or to a lack of faith in the efficacy of the laws, or to a beiief that if convicted by the courts the erimi- nals may be pardoned before their terms have expired. Bat whatever the reason this Indiana community has retrograded to the dis ganized and ‘awless condition of that b; gone period when Judge Lynch hanged horse-thieves, and has brought upon the state even greater discredit than that which attaches to the dynching of mur- Gerers and ravishers. ——+ee—____.

The Final Tests. It is evident from the latest letter sent by the Commissioners to the receiver for the Eckington street railroad company that the authorities are determined to base their action in respect te the application for a permit to equip that road with the compressed air system upon a thorough understanding of the capabilities and lim- tations of that form of propulsion. Indeed throughout the adjustment of this rapid transit enterprise the Commissioners have acted In such a manner as to warrant the public belief that their decision will be carefully reached and be justitied by all the premises in the case. The air motor has come to Washington under generally suspicious circumstances and in justice to the traveling public and the property own- ers along the line cf its proposed route it could not be accepted upon faith or upon the mere representations of its advocates, There was tco much stock-jobbery con- nected with it. Its auspices were alto- gether unfortunate. But the Commissioners have taken steps to place themselves in possession of all the material facts bearing upon the ability of the system to meet local conditions, and the tests that they now outline as essential te complete the series of experiments are wholly reasonable and necessary. The four-day schedule run of the motor, limited as to headway only by the capacity of the cempressor at the power house, is of prime importance to indicate the ability of the @pparatus to stand the strain of contin- yous performarce such as would be in- volved in daily service. The other test is quite as needful to bring out the full ca- —— and the faults of the system. By means it will be demonstrated whether the air motcr, while performing its own duty, can straighten out the system by helping back to the station any other mo- tor that may become disabled on the route. If it cannot accomplish this feat it ts in serious danger of disapproval, for the ac- ¢idental wreck of one motor would block- ade the whole line unless the car in front of or behind the cripple could clear th: tracks. The conditions for these two tests Qutlined by the Commissioners appear to be fair to the road as well as to the public interests that are to be conserved. The tests and the final deliberations are to be the more careful and thorough in view of the fact that it is evident that the company intends to attempt to obtain from the Commissioners a perm‘t to lay pipes for the transmission of compressed air from the central power house to various points along the lines of the Eckington, and, if the law be fully carried into effect, the Belt road as well. The basis for the claim that the right to lay such pipes ex- ists in the law is the following section, numbered eight, of the act of June 10, 1896, compelling the two roads to equip either with underground electric or com- pressed air: “Thet it shall be lawful.for said railway companies and each of them, their &and each of their successors and agsigns, to make all needful and convenient trenches and excavations in any of said streets or places where said companies, or either of them, may have the right to construct and operate its road, ani place in such trenches and excavations all needful and convenient devices for machinery for operating said railroad in the manner and by the means aforesaid.” This section was generally understood at the time the bill was under consideration to refer solely to the installation of the underground electric system, if that were selected, and it was so regarded by the District committees of Congress and by the citizens. The purpose of the companies, it was stated, was to install a compressed air plant capable of majntaining a wholly independent motor system, and one of the chief advantages urged for this system by the company was that it involved no dis- turbance of the street surfaces such as necessarily accompanies the installation of the cable or the underground electric. Therefore, if the clear intention of Con- gress in the premises is to be regarde‘ the statute gives no such authority as that which has already been suggested by the receiver for the roads. But his mere sug- gestion indicates that a determined effort will be made to secure permission to pipe the seventeen miles of route included in the two railroads, thus threatening a public nuisance. If the Commissioners were con- fronted with a proposition that involved | merely the installation of a compressed air motor system, without any requirements of subterranean construction, the import- a@nce of the pending tests would not be as great as it now is in view of the liability that the adoption of the compressed air system will involve the public in a most annoying and the company .n a most costly process of street disturnance and repair. This factor adds, therefore, to the neces- sity for the greatest thoroughness in the conduct of the tests that are soon to be made. —__ + 0-2 _____ Japan's Notion of Arbitration. The Star has already noted editorially the prepostercusly unfair nature of the propositions emanating from Japan with regard to the arbitration of its dispute with Hawaill, and it has shown that such an arbitration, if based upon the Japauese premises, would be “jug-handled” end ab- surd as an international procedure. Today there appears in the news columns a letter from The Star’s correspond2at at Hono- lulu, “Kamehameha,” who writes from a close acquaintance with the facts and poizts out with greater particularity the reasons why Japan’s so-called acceptance of the suggestion of arbitration is insincere. So palpably inequitable is the proposition of Count Okums that its rejection is as- sured. Japan's role in this case has been everplayed, and if there is any genuine disposition whatever to submit the dispute to the judgment of an international court upon fair aud reasonadle terms all condi- tions such as those now proposed must be withdrawn. Kamehameha shows in his letter how Japan has gone even further in the effort: to trick Hawaii oy unearthing @ practically obsolete treaty between Ha- waii and Spain as bearing upon the rights of the Japanese in the islands. If Japan’s contentions on this point were well iaken the Japanese cooiies, imported by thou- sands under contract, would have equal rights with the natives of Hawaii in every line of domestic and political effort, from the moment of their landing. With the Japanese in possession of the Hawaiian right to vote and hold office Japan would soon be in peaceful possession of govern- ment and country. That this nas been and is now Japan’s ambition cannot be doubted. Japan would not venture to say to any other independent nation in the world than feeble Hawaii: “You have made a treacy with me which in effect gives my people precisely the same rigkts and powers, po- litical and otherwise, as the Hawaiians themselves enjoy. This treaty is irrevo- cable, and you cannot impair it by any of your laws. If I chcose to send a million of my people to Hawaii to enjoy these polit- ical and residential rights you cannot stop them. The treaty applies to all Japanese, and not merely to merchants and traders, and while I accept the principle of arbitra- tion, I wili not permit any arbitrator to tell me that the treaty does not apply to all Japanese and does not in effect place the islands at my mercy.” Hawaii herself cannot safely submit to arbitration Japan's extraordinary conten- tion that she has virtually and irrevocably adopted as citizens the entire Japanese nation, and has thereby in effect abdicated sovereignty and ceded control in favor of Japan. The international damage suit to be breught in behalf of the expelled im- migrants is the question for arbitration, and the verdict should be for some amount or for nothing, according to the judgment of the arbitrator in the light of all the cir- cumstances. The arbitrator is not to dis- pose of the sovereignty of Hawail. ——++e—___ If the administration’s sympathy with the republican organization in New York is no more active in its manifestations than this country’s sympathy with Cuba, Mr. Low will have little cause for uneasiness on that score. . —~>+e—___.

Contortionists in Politics. If one cares.to tackle a genuinely com- Plicated, double-and-twisted, labyrinthine political problem he has only to turn to the cne now presented by the democracy of the state of New York. The state committee of the party, with power to nominate a candidate for chief judge of the court of appeais—the only state office to be filled this year—met Wed- nesday, and performed that duty. The candidate selected is Judge Parker, an in- timate friend of David B. Hill. Like his friend, he was opposed last year to the free silver propaganda, He stands accused, even, without reply on his part, of having voted for Mr. McKinley. ‘The man who, in the capacity of guide, philosopher and friend, superintended the committee’s work was Senator Murphy. Mr. Murphy last year was in a state of be- tweenity. He did not come out for Mr. Bryan, as Mr. Gorman did, nor did he sulk authority did not extend so far. It had power, it pretended, only to name the can- didate. But, strange to say, it was assisted in this trick of dodging the silver question by Chairman Jones of the democratic national committee, Mr. Bryan's right-hand man and manager, who already predicts Mr. Bryan's renomination in 1900 on an- other silver platform. Mr. Jones partici- pated in the proceedings by means of a letter to Mr. Murphy, which was read to the committee. The only other business transacted by the committee in addition to putting up a gold bug candidate for chief judge, and stppressing all mention of the party’s plat- form of principles, w: to expel from its membership Henry D. Purroy,’an old-time Tammany leader, who last year worked and voted for Mr. Bryan for President. So we have, as the result of Wednesday's work in New York, bolting honored in the nomination of Judge Parker, loyalty chas- tised in the expulsion of Mr. Purroy from the state committee, dodging practiced in the suppression of the Chicago platform, and all with the indorsement of Mr. Bryan, through Chairman Jones of the democratic national committee. Those New York dem- ocrats seem to be a boneless lot. —~>e+e—__. A New York man has been convicted and fined for selling “hard cider” without a license.

But Mr. Gorman can probably find it in his heart to wish that Mr. Wellington had a few more friends left. —__-+>__. SHOOTING STARS, A Proper Boast. “There is one thing of which Lord Fizzle- cash will be able to boast. besides his title,” remarked Miss Cayenne, thoughtfully. “What is that?” “No one can truthfully say that his wife married him for his money.” A Wish, A hopeful difference it would make In ordeals which this life discloses, -| If we our weather could but take In strictly homeopathic doses, Her Interest in the Game. “I'm sorry the base ball season is over,” she said, thoughtfully. “Were you interested in the game?” “Not in the game itself. But I like to go with my husband and hear him cheer and cheer. It was the only time I knew that man to exhibit anything like a cheerful disposition.” A Ready Advocate. “What this country wants to do,” said the reformer, ‘is to raise the requirements for office holders.” “Exactly so,” replied Senator Sorghum; “and allow me to remind you that the principal requirement of an office holder is his salary.” Another Victory, “Place another victory to my credit,” ex- claimed the Spanish general. “I didn’t hear any noise,” ventured the amanuensis. “No. This was a moral victory. I saw some Cubans and resisted the temptation to fight them.” September Cheer. Look up, sad heart! A joyous song is echo- ing o'er the lea; The murmuring stream repeats it as it hurries to tke sea; And the blue sky smiles to hear the sweet assurances that ring As the men bound for the White House carol on their journeying. "Tis not a song of autumn that extols the garnered grain Nor a sentimental ditty with a languishing refrain. It's the same old theme that lingers, though the years may come and go— “There {s room upon the pay roll for an- other name or so.” Hope springs eternal. Still they come from far across the land, From the summits of the Rockies; from the wave-kissed southern strand. For office-seeking is the balm which all are fain to try. The directions are so simple they scarce be read awry. Remember, wher: you use it for that im- pecunicus pain, If a single application doesn’t work, apply again. And your picture may get printed, your cure the world may know, For there's room upon the pay roll for an- other name or so. Congressmen and the Post Offices. From the Milwaukee Sentinel. When a congressman gives it out fg ad- vance that he is going to recommend some particular person to be postmaster, in nine cases out of ten he is taking the simplest and most direct means of notifying sev- eral other particular persons that he’ is weary of the importunities and contests ot opposing candidates, and has determinea to secure relief, whatever the consequences, No one else is so greatly injured by this relic of the old spoils system as are the congressmen. Civil service refurm has left them practically no patronage with which to appease the office seekers, and made it incurybent upon them to decide between several aspirants for post offices in each town in the district, any one of whom would be as acceptable to the local con- gressman as the man selected, and all of whom become his life-lorg enemies, except- ing the man appointed, while the lutter is forbidden by the civil service rules to take a part in politics, which might make him serviceable to his congressional friend. Nothing could be of more advantage to the average congressman than to have all of the post ofiices brought within the civil service rules, and to have the postmasters selected by popular vote of the patrons whenever a change is made, —_—_oeo—__. Air Motor Test Unsatisfactory. From the Electrical World, The air motor which has recently been tried on the Manhattan elevated railway in this city has been sert to the repair yards for a number of important changes, it having failed to make anything like the showing which its advocates claimed it would make. As is usual under such cir- cumstances, the promoters of the com- pressed-air syrtem claimed a number of minor mechanical causes for the failure of their locomotive, but the large and im- portant fact remains that, after many years of experiment and under the best conditicns for success, the air motor has always been a failure. —_—_re+o—_____ Convicts on Roads, From the Atlanta Journal.
