THE NEGRO IN MASSACHUSETTS Recently a - negro has been elected to a prominent office in Massachusetts, for the first time in the history of the state, and now they seem to have an elephant on their hands. In speaking of how they have treated the unfortunate colored man, the Baltimore Sun says: Although the 'colored man and brother' is very dear to the Massa chusetts heart, the good people of that state are willing to exhibit the evidences of their esteem and af fection only in other I states. As stated a few days ago, one of the members of the governor's council of Massachusetts is Isaac B. Allen, of almost pure African decent. Al though he is, dearly loved in Mas sachusetts by reason of his ' race, there is pronounced antipathy to him in his capacity as governor's councillor, and. bribes threats and entreaties have been alter nately employed to effect his res ignation; But Allen stands firm and intends to remain in the gov. ernor's council until his term ex pires, in order that he may illus trate the virtues of Jus race and the rare excellence of those aristo cratic residents of Beacon Hill who hold him in such tender affec tion. Still, it is not probable that he will not .accompany the gover nor and the councillors on their junketing expeditions, especially when these expeditions lead towaid the South. A bill has been offered in the Massachusetts legislature which seems to bear out this assertion It provides for an appropriation of 10,000 to pay the expenses of the governor, six of his staff, four of : his council and a certain number from the house and the senate at the Tennessee exposition. The governor's council is composed of eight members besides himself, and never before, when provisions was made for a junketing trip, has an appropriation been made with such a stipulation. nun ' "XIKSET tf3KOIINATED. In a recent article the Washing ton Post referred to an eloquent . appeal of Congressman Linney, of this state, in behalf of a pension for Jerry Smith. In the Post yes terday was an article in which h ' said that the appeal referred to "brings to mind an incident in the Republican district convention in that state in 1894 that nominated Mr. Linney for congress.? Contin uing, the Post said: H :'t The convention was held at Wilkesboro, N. C, and the con- - test was close and exciting between Mr. Linney and E. S: Blackburn, one of the most brilliant young re publicans of the South. Nomina tions of candidates being in order, a country delegate from the little mountain county rose and simply presented the name of E. S. Black burn, of Ashe county. Then came Jerry Smith, who presented the name of Mr.. Linney, in a careful and well-prepared eulogestic speech. During its de livery, however, Mr. Smith evi dently digressed from his manu script, when he said: 'Gentlemen. When I was in Mr. Linney's office last week preparing myself for this address, I then learned that. Mr. Linney had ap peared in over one hundred murder suits, and of all that number only two of his clients have been hung, and then returned to his speech and closed. During the delivery of Mr. Smith's address, the man from Alleghany county was excited, and great drops' of perspiration stood! on his forehead. As soon as Jeiry Smith closed, he sprang to the floor, and without waiting for rec ognition, began: "Mr. Cheerman When I named our young man Blackburn from the mountains, I made no speech, but can make one," and then went on and made an earnest appeal in behalf of Blackburn, closing with these words: "Now, gintlemin, our man Blackburn is a young man, and a lawyer, too." He haint peared in as many murder cases as Mr. Linney, but Lordy massy, men, you ought just to hear him tn the mountains in 'sault and battery cases.

So many "judges" and "majors" and "colonels," with hands bloody to their elbows, have bet 1 turned out of the court house in t iumph, usually just before the election, that thousands of good ci tizens have lost confidence in the courts.

Declining Sweetness. ' Sugar, has sunk to a low price here and abroad, although the loss of the Cuban crop reduced the out put in 1 806 by . 648, 500 tons as compared with the' previous year. In 1895- 6 the yield of sugar was 2,837,000. ' The year before it was 3485,500 tons. Yet raw sugar is three-sixteenths of a cent a pound cheaper than a year ago. The fact is a striking proof of the wide re duction which general depression made last year in the consumption otall food staples. Philadelphia Press. Baltimore's Credit.

GAGE'S VIEWS. BaMevcsjihe Country's Monetary Sys- tetn Should be Changed. New York, Feb. v.--k special j to the Wjr Id from Chicago says: ' . Mr. Iyroan J. Gage, the new , secretaty , of - the treasury, " with , great candor and courtesy makes " his position quite clear on financial affairs .afcafolJows: "Our whole monetary system is the resnitant of makeshift legisla tion an4 "scientific compromises. It is time that reform began. ."In tuy own opinion, the green backs.hould be , permanently re- tire.d. The silver purchased under the Sherman act should be gradu ally sdid and the treasury notes re-., deemed and : cancelled. ; Some well - guarded system of bank note circulation broader and more elas tic than the present national bank act provides should be inaugurated. 1 Such bank notes should be re deemable at a central, place, :and be redeemable in gold only. ...' "Silver certificates, which form nearlypne-fi.f th of Jhe circulating mediiMn .of the United btates, are dangerous. , By their use a volume of inferior money has found.an ab normal use. They are the most perplexing feature in the much-involved problem of our national fi nances, , -. 'There is no reason why the government should act as a ware house 'man for either gold or silver. Such I function is outside its pro per limit of action. "But we are faced by a condi- tion.,-.The enormous amount of $500,000,000 of silver, represented by $338,000,000 in silver certifi cates, added , to the $150,000,000 purchased by the government un der the Sherman act,- constitutes a standing menace to every business interest. , . ; ,. ' . To sum up, the defects of our present currency system are: I. uoniusmg neterogeneity, which needs simplification. "2.a he greenback controverts the principle of paper money, viz: That every note injected into the commercial system should repre sent an existing commercial value. "3... The treasury note is a stand ing evidence of a foolish operation the' creation of a debt" for the purchase on a falling -market of a commodity for which the purchaser bas no use; it ties open to the just charge of being both idiotic and immoral. . ."4-.The national bank note merely conforms to the true prin ciple'of paper money, but the un reasonable requirements for secu ritv paralyzes its efficiency and operates to destroy its elasticity. "5. The silver certificates .en extent than is consistent with the safe preservation of that metal on a parity with gold." "Would a national commission help. to promote reform?";. . "There is reason to hope that it would be a great - service in that direction. Such a commission if rightly elected would throw a flood of light upon these involved ques tions. The information it might gather would be of immense value to all Our people, and would guide us to wise legislation. 'Emotion and Sentiment are not safe guides in matters of science. A clear apprehension of true prin ciples will lead to correct action. "Reaction will be slow, but it is . .... ... coming, and it will be ot long duration." i ' An Associated Press representa tive at Chicago saw Mr. Gage this morning. He was very busy hav ing before him about 1,000 Liters, but he took time to say: "Those are my, views subject to such mod ification as further , thought may seem to require.' I must decline to go into a delineation of my views now, as I haven't time to formulate them, and, I do not think it would be proper or ad vance the interests of the country." . Cheap Rates.
