Many f the leaders were averse to its be- reportea at hub bciiioh, uui party was confronted by threats vengeance from leading gold standard agitators If the promise iag8 such a measure was broken '-,2 Jin in tniB congress; and the bill accordingly was presented to the house.

It appeals, there- fork ff the support of the great capitalistic influences, which are itrcjng- in; the councils of the Re publican party. Its avowed object jg to fasten the gold standard more firmly upon the country. It proves that the bankers oi tne east inter- nlatform of 1896, and that they 'were justified amply in supporting McKjnley upon the inoney issue, because in due time they would be rewarded by legislation made to their order. But it shows con clusively, at the same time, that the specious phrase "international bimetalism" used in the platform was merely a catchword for the sil ver! Republicans of the middle west, nri meant nothing else.-'' Had the bill Ken drawn by such large hold erg of government bonds as J. Pier pont Morgan a'ncT-tbe- Goulds and Vanderniits, u couiu auv unvo uoi teriuited their interests, it pro poses to go back and make all the coin bonds nerwtoiore issuea,)ay able in gold. Such a bill is essen tially class legislation, discriminating-, and unjust; and when its full purport is understood, while it continues to satisfy the great monied interests, it will be repudi ateel by the great mass of the peo plel As the government bondejiow command a premium, although pay able In "coin," either g'-ld Yir silver, no such Jaw' was needc i to main tain these government obligations on a parity with gold. Tne onl i aimed to effect kinds o money', nut is sin "alliance." Of course' there has been nr alliance; but there has been an understanding, which if duly published and - admitted throughput the world, would serve all the moral purposes of an al- not quantities of money. The for liance. This understanding was mer consideration is of internet t. those who have unlimited money, and the latter concerns thu6e who are striving to get it ; and therein is the distinction between Republi can and Democratic currency legis lation. The bill in time will prob ably pass. It will do nothing to quiet general currency discussion, but will gain votes for bimetalism, the more its provisions are studied and comprehended. . ' -The reported alliance between this country, or rather between the present administration of the gov ernment, and the powers of Great Britain and Germany promises to give the Republicans endless em barrassment. No treaty of alliance has been made, nor prepared for signature; and of course none could be operative without ratifica tion by the senate. But while there has been no formal treaty nego tiated, there undoubtedly, has been an interchange of diplomatic as surances, well understood abroad. This is evidencedJn the public ex pressions of our ambassador to England, Mr, Choate. Taking his cue from the State department, it appears that Mr. Choate- has lost no opportunity to assure Great Britain that the Americans regard that monarchy as an unmitigated blessing, whose power should be extended to every zone excepting that occupied by the United btates. The consequence of this is that the American people are put in the position of abetting a monarchy in its war against a struggling repub lic in South Africa. Chamberlain, speaking for the English State de partment, has congratulated his countrymen on our moral support, which he rates as of the utmost value. This pretty understanding has its drawbacks. The publica tion of such utterances abroad has led to pertinent questions at home. The question is being asked : By what authority do these officials who are charged with but brief authority, and little of that, jyen ture to speak as for the great American republic in such matters? By none of course, is the answer and the administration fearing a very lively discussion of State department performances makes haste to deny publicly that there pnn LnJ loafs' ir SI given by officious Republican State departm"t agents,, prominent among to em' being Mr. Hay, the Secret ! ry of State, lately returned from London, greatly impressed by the splendors of the court of St. James, the magnificence of royalty and the wisdom of the House of Lords:, but with not enough of American manhood in his composi tion to see some of the defects and burdens of even the most liberal monarchy. But these gentlemen, seeing the political error they have made at home, are beating a hasty retreat; nd now are printing as-' surancek here that there is nothing in the reported alliance ; and at the same time, no doubt, cabling re newed winks to Choate that denials at home are made only for home consumption. Mark Hanna has announced def initely that he does not wish to serve through another campaign as chairman of the Republican Na tional Committee. One reason in ducing Hanna to withdraw is that he doubts the probability of Mc- Kinley succeeding himself ; and he does not care to take the brunt of the criticism and condemnation of Republicans that will come to the committee in the event of 'failure. &reat Sale of Capes and Jackets.

Mr. McKinley'8 long message, one of the longest ever sent to con gress was not sent in today, owing to the early adjournment of j both senate and house as a mark of re spect to the late Vice President Hobart. It will go in tomorrow, and then the real business of the session of congress will begin. I The Democrats were never in a more aggressive mood, and "hot times" are ahead for the Republican ma jority in both senate and house.

The New York State Commerce Commission held an all-day con ference here today with leading grain and flour shippers in an en deavor to get at the reasons for the decadence of commerce through the port of New York. The ship pers pointed out that Newport News, Va., by reason of 2$ cents differential, now secure most of this export trade. It was thought that the only way New York could regain would be by improving the Erie canal and the terminal facili ties at Buffalo and New York, at the same time reducing the rates. J. W.
