It nppenrs that I'resldrnl McKlnley
lins fully doclded to recommend to con
gress Hie creation of n currency commis
sion , but it Is uncertain whether lie will
do so during the present session or put
tin ; matter off nnlll the meeting of the
regular session next December. The
dltllculty In the way of any present
movement for a commission is that It
might cause delay lo action on the
tnriff bill In the senate and therefore
the uiessag" which the president had
prepared to send to congress lias been
withheld at tin1 suggestion of republican
leaders in both brain-lies of congress.
Mr. McKlnley made known In his In
augural address that he was favorable
to a commission to Investigate the ciir-
iciicy question fully and report a plan
of reform , but it had recently been Inti
mated that he hnd concluded to have a
plan framed by the administration , as
sisted by practical Jlnanclt-rs. for sub
mission to congress at the regular ses
sion , and It was reported that the secre
tary of the treasury hud Invited a num
ber of Hnnnclers to advise with him In
formulating a plan of currency reorgani
zation. At all events It may now be re
garded as assured that the administra
tion will recommend a currency commis
sion , bill It Is not so certain that con
gress will comply. understanding
Is ll > nt Mn sentiment In that body fav
orable to n commission Is not very strong
and while It is possible that most of the
| republicans In the house may lie dls-
I pned to acquiesce In the wisli of tile nd-
j minUration in the matter , there will lie
| aery determined opposition to a cur
rency eoinmK'Mon in the .senate. The
free s-ilver advoealvs will certainly an
tagonize II selidly.
If Ih'-re k to be a commission It is
of no great consequence whether It Is
appointed at once or six months later ,
so far a < any practical result Is con
cerned. Its cication would gratify the
currency reformers and silence their
charge that the administration Is indiffer
ent to the queMion. but anybody who
seriously expects that any real good
would come of it Is pretty sure to be
disappointed.

It is the common impression that the
otllcers of the I'nltcd States navy are
unanimous in the opinion that this coun
try ought to annex the Hawaiian islands ,
hut this is not correct , though unques
tionably a very large majority of them
sue of that way of thinking. At any
rate there Is one who does not favor
auncNation and lie is an otlicer of the
cruiser Hdladelphia. now in Hawaiian
waters , who lias had an opportunity to
investigate the matter.
Tills olllcer formerly favored annexa
tion , but he has concluded from observa
tion that it would not benefit the United
State-- , lie says its only advantage
would be in supplying a midoeean naval
station , but this is offset by the burden
we should assume in taking on our
shomlers tile debt of the islands , their
lepitr settlement and their motley "popu
lation , lie thinks the islands would
have to be strongly fortified and a naval
station cstahlishiHl there , which would re
quire a sum of nuiiny that could be used
to more advantage in fortifying our sea
port cities.
Tills is a common sense view and il is
worth the opinion of a score of naval of
ficers who have never ween the Hawaiian
islands and who have not considered ( lie
question of our acquiring them from any
practical point of view , but with noth
ing in mind but the idea of a naval sta
tion.

The adoption of the gold standard by
Japan has caused no little worry to the
free silver advocates of this country.
The material development of the Orien
tal empire with the .silver standard had
been freely referred to by the silverite.s
of the United Stales as substantial evi
dence of the soundness of their position
and it exerted no inconsiderable influ
ence.Vo were told that the .lapan--se
were a remarkably shrewd "people In
maintaining the silver standard , that II
gave them a very great advantage in
their commercial relations witli the gold-
standard countries and that tin * United
Slates would inevitably discover that If
it adhered to the gold standard it would
have a formidable competitor in Japan
for tlie world's trade. American manu
facturers were warned ihai they were
in danger of suffering from this competi
tion even In their home market , which il
was saiil was liable u > be invaded by > ll-
viM'-standard Japan lo an extern , that
would be extremely damaging lo our
domestic Industries , it \\as declared
that with our lilglfer wages on a gold
standard we/nvould be compelled lo sur
render som.1" " ng to the new power in
tlie commercial world having the silver
standard.
This was said only a year ago , since
which time Jnpan < has divided ID aban
don tlie silver standard and adopt the
standard of all the great commercial na
tions of the world. .Now the American
free sliverltes n.io endeavoring to explain
this change In the financial system of
Japan so a.s to rob li of its true signifi
cance and it is needless to say tn. , . > y
make n very had job of It. A short time
ago Senator Teller sought to explain
away the Japanese adoption of the gold
standard by saying thai the standard
remained unchanged and the Japanese
had merely cut their yen In two. The
fact Is , however , that it Is simply tlie
unit that remains unchanged the Japan
ese having changed their standard from
the silver yen to the gold yen because
the former was a declining value ,
therein repudiating tlie whole monelaiy
doctrine of our free Kllveriles , .Senator
I'ettlgro.w has anoihur view of the
elniiigu. lie lias concluded from reading
tlie statement of the Japanese minister
of liiniiict' . at the- time of the introduc
tion of the gold standard bill in tlie Diet ,
that the departure from tlie silver stand
ard was made wholly in the interest of
tlie creditor class. It was done for the
purpose , according to Mr. 1'ettlgritw , of
preventing a further decline In Ihe pur
chasing1 power of their credits. The ut
ter absurdity of this could ho easily
shown , but it will lo siilllclenl to say
that there is not a word In thu speech
of the Japanese minister of finance ,
which Is printed In full In thu Juno num
ber of the consular reports , to Justify the
vluwr of the South Dakota Beuutor. The
minister plainly pointed out that the
change was made In the Interest of both
the government and the commerce of the
country ? lie showed most conclusively
that substitution of the gold stiindaid for
the silver standard was absolutely neces
sary to continued prosperity. He urged
that even If there should Inan Inter
national bimetallic system Japan would
experience no harm by adopting a gold
standard now. He declared that n bi
metallic system Is impracticable without -
out all powers combining a truth which
American free sllverlles would do well
to ponder on- and he pointed out In clear
terms the advantages and ln-nellls of
.1 gold standard , saying among other
things : "In spite of objections raised
by bliuetalllsts and others , practically
theit' is m > room for doubt as to the
merits of n gold standard. " lie further
declared that bimetallism cannot be car
ried out by nny single country Independ
ently of olhe.11 countries.
It Is not surprising that the free sll-
veiites deprecate the action of Japan ,
for It Is a serious blow to their cause ,
but they cannot destroy its significance.

Do the appointive members of the
lire and police commissinn understand
the law under which they are acting ?
Uo they remember ( lie oath of olliee
each has taken and do thcy consider
this oatli binding or merely a matter
of form , to be disregarded at pleasure' , '
The law expressly provides for a nonpartisan -
partisan board of live persons to govern
the tire and police department. Kour
of the members are appointed by the
governor , presumably as representatives
of at least two different political parlies ,
while the tifth is elected by the people.
1'nder the spirit and letter of the law
the board has no right to shape the
affairs of either the lire or police de
partment on imlltieal lines. It has * no
right to conduct it.s business tliroimh
political caucuses any more than It has
the right to prostitute the machinery of
tlie lire and police forces to political
ends.
Yet in spite of the plain Intent and
letter of the law the appointive ineinb.-rs
of tlie commission have ever since their
appointment conducted the business of
tlit ; board by political caucus , from
which the elective member has been
rigidly excluded. The manifest Impro
priety , to call it by a mild name , of tlil
method of procedure was strik
ingly exhibited at the last meet
ing of the board. A letter
signed by James ( ' . Dahluian was pre
sented , declining to accept tlie apivoint-
meiit of chief of police of Omaha. It
Is presumable that all ( lie legitimate
business of the lioari ! Is transacted at
regular or special meetings of the com
mission duly called. At what meet ing
was any position on the Omaha police
force tendered to James ( ! . Dahlinnn ?
Tlie records of tlie boa.nl do not show
that Dahlman's name was ever even
mentioned yt any meeting of the board ,
llow , then , can the hoaid explain its
own record , which shows cither that
Dnhlman labored under an hallucination
when he wrote Ills' letter of declination
or I hat tlie offer was made by an iin- !
lawful political caucus pretending to ai-t
as tlie Hoard of Kire and I'olice Com-
missioneis. In one view of the ease , the
chairman of the democratic state com
mittee is paced in a ridiculous light in
declining a position never offered by . . .e
only body authorized to depose or ap
point police ollieer.s and in ( lie other view
the board is placed In the light of dis
regarding the law.

The defunct r.roalch-Koster-Vander-

Senator Allen says It was not his fault

Although Andrew Lang has described F.
Marlon Crawford a "the most versatile and
various of modern novelists. " It may be
seriously doubted whether his most recently
published ( -lory , "A lto < e of Yesterday , " con
sidered apart from his earlier works , would
entitle Mr. Crawford lo claim the pos ef lon
of other attrlbutitt of n great writer of tlc-
tlnn. The familiar deft touch Is not wantIng -
Ing , nor the skillful development of the plot ,
nor the power of graphic description ; but
the central incident Is not worthy of a
master's hand , and delicate touch and line
description nlo wasted. "A Hose of Yes

"Wives In Kxlle , " Is a bright little story
from the pen of William Sharp , whose
" ( ! ypsy Christ" brought him merited fame
a few years ago. It describes the adventures
of two charming young married women , who ,
suspecting that a concerted trip of their hus
bands to London was not to be devoted
nliooltitol.v to the pursuit of business , con
ceived a lid put Into effect the plan ot char
tering a yacht , providing her with a crew
composed entirely of feminine marines , and
voyaging to the Hebrides without the aid
or consent of any man on earth. They
lead their husbands a merry chase before
they allow themselves to be caught , and
reconciliations and mutual promises of
amendment ensue. It Is a slender enough
theme , as will he apparent , nml to make it
tolerable , requires Just the delimit * handling
which Mr. Sharp has bestowed. He has
succeeded , moreover. In making each of the
minor nnd subordinate people the cook , the
stewardess , the cabin-girl nnd the members
if the crew an excellent and diverting
character sketch. "Wives In Hxllo" will be
found very pleasant reading , Indeed. Cloth ,

In "At the Queen's Mercy , " Mrs. Mubcl
Fuller Hlodgett makes a slender attempt at
a formidable task , having apparently under
taken to disprove the report tbat the Hud-
yards have ceaoed from Kipling and tin-
Haggards rldo no more. Why she should
mnko her stalwart , revolver-shooting hero
tell his story In the style of John Kidd Is
not nltocether clear , unless she wishes lo
Imply other points of resemblance to that
hero. Wo are told so Miry often In the
first few chapters that the narrator Is but
"a ulaln man. " that we come to believe it
Imnllcitlj' , In course of time , and to wonder
that further protestation IH deemed neces
sary.
There is a Thing In this story with a
caoital T wliich is warranted to please
those who like that sort of Thing ; and there
is n queen railed Lib. and witches , and
good etoro of buried treasure , and an abound
ing facility in getting out of scrapes by the
simple and clllcaclnus means of getting into
worse ones. Altogether a tale for cooler

Another story of thrilling adventure is
"JStileka. " by Clinton Koss , a young writer In

Mrs. Hlodgett , ho names lhat hero Derlng ;
and tberu is a fabulous' treasure , such as all
obscure African tribes are well known

has nothing between its two covers
so touching as the steadfast and in
trusive admiration of 'Mr. ' Hens' Daring for
Jim Knleen , "of the fighting I'Jnleens. " One
cannot wholly share that admiration , although
one is not disposed to question the outhor'H

As tlie action of the senate placing a tax
on stock and bond transactions will doubt
less be concurred in by the house. It maybe
bo regarded as a fixed facl. As a necessity
exists more for revenue that can well bo
raised by custom dntlc , especially since
the excessive Importations during the last
few mouths under the low rate of duties ,
Internal revenue taxes offer the best means
of raising it. The Journal has urged an Increase -
crease of the tax on beer , and still believes
that would have been the best way to ralou
tlio additional revenue needed , but con
gress could not or would not &ee the matter
in that light. Tlie taxation of bond and
stock transactions Is uti legitimate as any
other tax and will probably be popular
with all except those who huvo to pay U
which , by the way , is measurably true of
all taxes. The Imposition of the tax will
revive a form of taxation which has not
been used in the .United States for many
yours. During tlio war and some time
afterward a stamp tax was 'imposed on
bank checks , drafts and bills of exchange ,
on promissory notes , bills of lading , deeds ,
mortgages , ( ontracts , bonds , probated wills
and other papers of this cla.-s. The
which were required to be used embraced
eight dilTcient classes or sizes and thirty-
two denominations , varying from 1 cent
to $100. It was a very useful lax to the
goveinment because It was cosily nnd
cheaply collected , and the stamps , being
carefully engraved , were not counterfeited.
The experience with this law showed that
the largest revenue came from the smallest
taxes universally diffused. In 1805 one-third
of the entire stamp revenue was derived
from bank check stamps of i cents each
umi the match stamps of 1 cent. Most of
thfso stamp taxes were repealed soon after
the close of the war , but tboso on bank
checks and drafts continued several years
longer.
The now law will tax : all bonds , deben
tures or stock certificated Issued after Sep
tember 1C , 181)7 ) , by any company or corpora
tion S cents on each $11X1 , and every sale
anil transfer of stock 2 cents on each $100.
The tax will apply to the stock of all In
corporating companies and to all bonds ex
cept government , state , county and mu
nicipal , and Iho stocks or bonds of building
and loan associations. U also applies to
Htock or bonds Irauod ( n Ihe reorganization
of a corporation the same as on original
organization , and to private sales of Mocker
or bonds tlio Fame ns If inado on a stock
board. Whether It will reach speculative
transactions made on margin , in which no
stock change * bauds and no transfer Is
made , is doubtful. If It does not a vi ry
largo class of transactions will escape tin-
tax.
