Platform: Stars and Stripes. 2W YORK, Dec. 31.—A Louisville special to the Herald says: Henry Watterson will have a characteristic editorial in the Courier- Journal to-morrow for a New Year's greeting. In it he nominates Dewey and Lee for the Presidential ticket in 1900 as the last hope of the Democratic party. After the review of the 1896 campaign and a re- iteration of his statement that free silver is as dead as African slav- ery Mr. Watterson says: ‘“Voters have about made up their minds that party pledges are made chiefly to be broken. Democrats bank- ing on this circumstance should put up a ticket without a platform. Let them nominate candidates for President and Vice President, men who are a platform in themselves, and if they can induce the. great admiral and the gallant general to accept here is.a card to.win: For President, George Dewey of Vermont; for Vice President, Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia.

How are they going to meet it?

The Santa Clara College, located in the town of the name it bears, is one of the most celebrated secular institu- tions of learning in California. It was established by the fathers of the So- ciety of Jesus on March 19, 1851, and was chartered on April 28, 1855, with all the rights and privileges of a univer- sity. It has made rapid strides since that time and many men notable in the history of California are graduates therefrom. | The college is admirably located and | is justly celebrated for the beauty of its surrounding scenery and the mild- ness and salubrity of climate. It is easily accessible by rail, it being lo- cated on the lines of the Southern Pa- | cific and South Pacific Coast railways. | The college buildings are extensive and admirably adapted for the purpose to which they are devoted. 1In the past few years extensive improvements were made and there are now seven -large buildings, besides others of less importance, enclosed in a quadrangle | of nearly ten acres. With most com- plete and appropriate accommodations in every department and a full staff of professors, this institution presents | uncommon advantages for the moral, ! mental and physical training of young men and boys. Among the studies taught are Greek, Latin, English, elocution, mental phil- osophy, natural sciences, mathematics, | arithmetic, bookkeeping, history, geog- | raphy, modern languages and the fine arts.

LEGISLATION IS REVIEWED RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PRESIDENT APPROVED. Means by Which the United States Government May Be Enabled - to Check the “Endless Chain” System. Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Dec. 31.—The Hon. Charles, G. Dawes,-Comptrollér of the Currency, was the guest of the Commercial Club this evening and delivered an address on “Currency Reform.” He said in partsE 3 “At the election of 1896 the chfef issue before the American people for settle- ment was that of the maintenance of the. gold standard and & sound gov- ernmental currency. - The commercial’ crisis of 1893 with the consequent re- duction in Governmental revenues had] developed an inherent weakness in our present monetary system, which before that time had been latent. This weak- ness was largely due to two causes; first, the disproportion existing between demand governmental currency liabili- ties and the gold held by the treasury for their redemption; second, the fact that these demand currency liabilities, like greenbacks, being once redeemed in gold, could be paid out again for government expenses, thus making pos- sible a further presentation for gold re- demption, and creating what has be- come_commonly known as the ‘endless chain.’ “As pointed out in the President’s last message the proportion of net gold holdings to demand currency liabilities of the treasury November 1, 1898, was 25.35 per cent, as compared with 16.96 per cent on November 1, 1897. Recog- nizing these conditions the President in his last annual message to Congress makes a recommendation which, if enacted into law, would break the end- less chain and still further strengthen the condition of governmental cur- rency already so greatly improved by the treasury operations of the last year. His words are as follows: ‘In my judg- ment the present condition of the treas- ury amply justifies the immediate enactment of legislation recommended one year ago, under which a portion of the gold holdings should be placed in a trust fund from .which greenbacks should be redeemed upon presentation, but when once redeemed should not thereafter be paid out except for gold." “This is the interpretation placed by | ‘the President of the United States upon the nature of the demand of the people in 1896 for monetary reform; and while | not denying, as his message shows, the | necessity of other legislation, which ne | leaves to the wisdom of Congr he | strongly urges its enactment into law. “To press the consideration of other proposed remedies at this time will prove a hindrance and obstruction to the adoption of this recommendation which is plainly a step in advance. | After this recommendation is enacted | into law those who have what seems to-them a more complete remedy can then present it for consideration. There | are many sincere and able men who | maintain that the Government can, to | its own advantage and for the common | good, avail itself indirectly of the note- issuing function of national banks. They believe that this can be accom- plished by removing the present re- striction required as security for bank- notes, the specific deposit of Govern- ment bonds, so that the banks will as- | sume the burden of gold redemption of Government notes in order to secure | the profit from the issuing of bank cir- | culation to take their place. “It must be remembered, however, that the present condition of the reve- nues, finances and credit of our Govern- ment clearly indicate that there is no | excuse to be found in governmentai necessities for any legislation whi would be unwise if the interests of the | people and business community alone were considered. If the improvement in governmental currency could not be se- | cured except by a radical change in; banknote currency there would be ground for a demand for the concur- rent consideration of governmental and banking currency legislation. But when the improvement of governmental cur- rency is possible otherwise the chances for it should not be jeopardized by the refusal of the advocates of bank-asset currency to present their case upon its own merits alone. At present among those who favor a system of banknotes secured by the commercial assets of banks there does not scem to be that definite agreement upon and acceptance of terms which will enable any of these | plans to receive even the united sup- | port of those who believe in the prac- ticability under our banking system of | bank-asset -currency. Some of the plans of one year ago differ from those advo- cated to-day. The two bills having their source in the House Committee on Banking and Currency differ materially from each other and neither commands the united support of that committee. “Each of these bills differs from other plans suggested. Evidently time must elapse before even the friends of this particular kind of currency can be united on a measure. I maintain that | the fundamental proposition which un- derlies all present bills providing for bank ‘currency without Government bonds as security, namely, the prefer- ence of the note holder over the de- positor in’the distribution of the assets of an insolvent bank, would work a grave injustice upon the depositor class of the country, with results in the high- est degree injurious to the whole com- munity. 3 “If the preference of the bank-asset note holder over the depositor provided for by pending plans be decided unjust and impracticable and an additional tax upon circulation be proposed to remove this injustice, new elements of unce:- tainty are introduced and the question must also be discussed, whether, in new estimates of the tax upon solvent par- ticipating banks necessary to make up the losses on the notes, we have any right to assume that all or a large pro- portion of the sound banks will go into the uncovered note-issuing business; and if only a few banks issue notes how we could prevent that few from being the smallest and weakest banks in the system; and how, if a few banks and weak banks only issue notes at first the tax on such circulation' to make up losses can be held down so as to invite that general participation in as- set-note issuing by sound banks for purposes of profit, which would be es- sential to the absolute safety of the notes. : “These and many other questions | either. | steps. | becomes must be settled and rightly settled be- 0 0 1 1 6086 08 0 0 O 0 SR G R 0 0 INTERVIEW WITH POPE LEO A YELLOW FAKE : NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—A Rome special to the World says: dinal Rampolla, the ‘Vatican Secretary of State, respondent to-day to cable to the World the following statement: “The report-of an intérview with his Holiness, published in the New York Journal of December 10, is absolutely false. ceived the Journal correspondent nor any other jo terview is not only false, but ridiculous.

Fortunately for the country and for its business and commercial interests the discussion -and settlement of all these vexed and complicated problems need not -stand in the way of true govern- mental currency reform as outlined in the two annual messages of the Presi- dent of the United States. In the minds of the people of the country the issue of 1896 was not the reform of our pres- ent banknote currency, but the refor- mation of governmental curreney. I believe that the people and the busi- ness interests of this country demand thdat whatever changes are made-in our currency system to break the endless chain and insure the safety of the gold standard should, if possible, be -simple and easily understood. They are not now, nor.have they been in favor of complicated or radical changes. As they desire stability in' the tariff.system, so they desire stability in the -currency system.

The prevailing opinion is that no definite decision will be reached except, perhaps, a determination of the amount of patronage that is to go to each mem- ber. The naming of the attaches will be delayed by such members as desire to postpone permanent organization un- til Tuesday.
