&lxe "looming .fiar. BY WILialAffl H. BfiKNARD tHURSDAT ftLORHlNe, NOV. 7. A POLICY OF IHACTIOH. the questions that will comu up before Congress will be the currency question and tariS revis ion, and the Republican leaders are going to try to dodge both. The principal matter is the currency, which, according to Secretary Gage and the bankers, is to retire the greenbacks $346,000,000 in round numbers and replace them with bank notes, if replaced at all. Tbey wouldn't, if they decided to retire them, dare refuse to replace them with some other kind of notes, and these would, as a matter of course, be national bank notes. This woud be just to the hand of the bankers who would then have con trol of all the paper currency, which would practically mean control of the bulk of the currency, for it is these with the silver certificates which constitute the bulk of that, the gold certificates being used but little in ordinary business transac tions. The bankers, with Secretary Gage in the lead, view this question from I their standpoint and do not give a 1 thought to the politics there is in it, I while the politicians view it mainly from the standpoint of politics, and therefore the bankers will not find it so easy to marshal them against the greenback. How difficult this may be is foreshadowed in the fol lowing which we clip from a letter of the Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, who says: There probably never was a time in the history of the Republican party when, possessing an easy majority in both houses of Congress and the con- trol of the executive branch of the Government, there was so general a disposition to believe that the interests of the party ould best be served by doing nothing. That is emphatically the conviction of the parly leaders in the Senate, and the men who . have most influence in the House are con fidently reckoned on to second the policy of inaction. Beneath the con fident expressions in regard to the unbroken unity of the party that have fallen from members or uongress lately visiting the White House, there is an uneasy feeling that subjects likely to breed party discard are be coming unpleasantly prominent in public discussion. "Among these it may be as weli to recognize the fact that the currency question does not figure. So far as i can be discovered, the programme out lined by Secretary Qage finds surpris ingly little support in his own party. The 'blood-stained greenback' bits not lost its power as a figure of Republican rhetoric, and there is a general dispo sition to assume that, in definitely making the gold standard the law of the land, and providing for the con vertibility of all forms of our currency, the representatives of the party have done as much as can possibly be ex pectected of them. They have no inten tion of giving to the other side the op portunity of taunting the party with subservience to the banking in- terests. and no argument touching the ! essential unsoundness of any system of Government paper money will weigh against the fact that there is no general or imperative public demand for relieving the treasury of the func tion of a bank issue. Congress has always lagged behind the public senti ment of the country in regard to the reform of the currency, and it will re quire a good deal more than the ap proval of a bankers' convention, or the support of a few chambers of com merce, to convince Congress that there is any present necessity for moving in the direction indicated by the Secre tar of the Treasury:" In discussing Secretary Gage's speech before the Bankers' meeting some time ago, and the action of the bankers in endorsing the re marks on the desirability of retiring the greenbacks, we expressed the opinion that it would be a very dif ficult undertaking to persuade Con . gress to tackle the greenback how ever much it might commit itself to the gold standard and trample on silver. They might, perhaps, find some Republican Congressmen from the rock-ribbed Republican States of the East and Center who might be willing to do that, but they would find very few from the West who would. When it comes to making a choice, and a choice be came necessary, the average Con gressman would, as between the bankers ahd the voters, play in with the voters every time, and the voters don't want the greenbacks retired. They have never asked for it and no political platform of any party has ever declared for it. Ignoring the "blood-stained" rhe toric and all that kind of thing, the Congressman who is asked to help freeae the greenback out can very plausibly ask: Why? What's the matter with the greenback? Isn't 5 it doing its business right along as good money, performing all the functions of money and the equal ( of gold all over the land? Do not ! the people prefer it to metallic r money, gold or silver? All this be ing so, what's the matter with it, ?- and why do you want to freeze it out? There is no danger of its be- coming an "endless chain," because :5l you -flare guarueu ag&msi mat Dy instructing the Treasury to lock up - - - m. " AT. 5 every one presented ior redemption and forbidding, re-issuing them un : less in - exchange for gold. When J you did that, you: took twist on ' the "endless chain.? ;.Why. then, when the greenbacks are doing full v duty as money in every sense,' and - lioir Haiti it used to laid the Treasury and draw oxit gold should1 we make war on it anddeprive' the people of some of ?the- beat surrencj they ever had, currency which the Government may never be called upon to redeem and which costs it nothing but the expense of printing? It is a non-interest-bearing note.redeemable at theoption of the Government, and in any kind of "lawful money," which meant either silver or gold, until the Re publicans in Congress made war on silver and declared for the gold standard. The only security or pledge behind this money is the credit of the Government and the faith of the people in that Govern -ment. The greenback is the Gov ernment's note, based on its credit, and it is the people's money, which they will not discredit, and hence it is honored on every counter in the land and in every business transac tion. No wonder, then, that the aver age Congressman, even if there were no politics in the case, could not be persuaded to turn against a currency of that kind, which the people have msed for nearly forty years, and never disowned, although the money-lenders, who found it in their way, have made repeaiea at tempts to discredit it and retire it from circulation. The leaders of the Republican party are already confronted by a perplexing problem of tariff revision, for which they will endeavor to substitute reciprocity, have no idea of taking the chances of incurring popular opposition by fighting the greenback at the behest Qf thJ money -lenders, who although t- taVQ which may be m campaigns, have not votes enough to decide elections. It is pretty safe to say that when it comes to facing the greenback the policy they will pursue will be the policy of inaction. S0ME DISCRETION. Tn his sBftech Wednesday in de fence of Admiral Schley, Mr. Par ker addressing the court said, "The court will agree with me, I think, in my statement that a commander-in-chief is vested with some discretion; that he is entitled to ex ercise it, and that it is his duty to exercise it." There ought to be no question as to that anywhere. A commander-in-chief is presumed to be compe tent, and to be a man of good judg ment, capable of deciding in emer gencies what to do. Being on the srround. or on the water, as in the case of Admiral Schley, he ought to know better about the situation and what to do than those at a distance who must depend on others for their information. Admiral Schley ex ercised his discretion? and accom plished what he was sent for, name ly, the cornering and destruction of the Spanish fleet. It is alleged that in doing this in his own way, with the best lights before him, when important information had been withheld by the Navy De partment, by Admiral Sampson and by subordinates who were sent out to gather information that would be of service to him in the work as signed to him he violated orders. If that violation was of a character worthy of notice, why did not the Navy Department, or his superior in command Admiral Sampson call him to account? Assuming that he did, in the exercise of his discretion, violate orders, which he denies, his superiors were derelict in condoning the offence by their silence, and in not calling him to account for it. The presiding judges doubtless saw the point of Mr. Parker's state ment, especially Admiral Dewey, who in a crucial hour didn't hesitate to exercise that discretion, when he took the risk of involving us with another power by cutting the Ma nila cable, which made it impossible for the war managers at Washington to interfere with his plans. He ex ercised his discretion several times afterwards in calling meddlesome German commanders to taw. Dewey knew what he was doing, and so did Schley; Dewey did what he started in to do, and so did Schley, but there was no one to claim the honor that Dewey had won, while there was some one to claim the honor that Schley had won. There was no Sampson with his faction at Manila, but there was at Santiago. . TUESDAY'S ELECTI0HS. There is nothing in Tuesday's elections which calls for special ie mark, as they resulted about as anticipated by people who give any attention to political movements. with the exception, perhaps, of New York: city, which the Demo cratic managers claimed they would carry, which they didn't. That wasn't a revolt, however, against the Democratic party, but against Tammany rnle, which was charged with all sorts of short comings and malpractices, in which there was, doubtless, a good deal of truth. They result may, perhaps, be a good thing for- New York, for while it is a rebuke to the defeated it warning to the victorious. is a With the exception of Maryland, which has been carried by the Dem ocrats, the other States in the North are Republican States, and although it was an off year, and the vote light the Republicans held their own, and in Ohio, according to weir claims, more than held their own. T 'xne inference from this is that 11..

They may squabble but they have a habit of getting to gether when it comes to voting. MORE BEXEVOLEHT ASSIMILA- TI0H. Our civil and military authorities in the Philippines have adopted the policy of terrorizing to make the yellow people over there who object to American rule be good and be have themselves. Manila dispatcnes published yesterday inform us that the treason act framed by tne com mission was adopted, and this is fol lowed up by the announcement that Gen. Smith had deported tne wiie of the Filipino Gen. Lukban, and that a lieutenant in command of scouts, who had some brushes with the insurgents, had killed a lot of them and burned 125 houses. That's an illustration of the be nevolent assimilation that is being put in practice over there. Shoot ing men who are in arms is war, but burning houses, when nothing is to be accomplished by that save terrorizing the inhabitants, which is doubtless the object, is vindalic barbarism, for which there is no de fence or palliation. It is worse than savagery, because it is done by men acting under authority of a civilized Government. We con demned less savagery by Weyler in Cnba, and by Kitchener in South Africa, the former of whom our managers for the Philippines have surpassed and the latter 01 whom they seem to be imitating.

Congress will be asked to ap propriate money to build forty new war vessels for the navy. At the present rate of progression it is pret ty certain the country will soon find itself very strongly equipped with vessels, but very badly off lor. men of experience to command them. The ochley inquiry has thrown a flood of light upon the quality of our naval outnt, ana if any gooa shall result it will be educative rather than disciplinary. Phil. Record, Dem, Solomon and his judgments are 'not frequently quoted as legal and effective precedents in Pennsyl vania courts of law, but on Friday the famous case of Solomon helped to decide the judge when two parties claimed a brood of fine young turkeys. Mrs. Adams and Sam Gardner both claimed the yonng tnrkeys and each had a turkey which they claimed bore a maternal relationship to the young turkey xoucg L it appeared, however, that when a savage dog had charged the brood that the turkey hen which belonged to Gardner had fought the dog bravely, while the other alleged turkey mother had deserted the brood altogether. And the brave turkey got the little ones, and once, more has the name of Solomon heen called blessed.

Winston Sentinel: Gns Goins and Pearl Sanders, colored, got into a row near Belo's pond Saturday night, when the latter drew his big Barlow knife and cut Goins. inflicting serious if not fatal injuries.

Baleigh Post: In the Post Sunday moraine the following special from Weldon appeared: "James Scoggin, who was here in charge of the broken-neck horse at the fair was shot in the small of the back last nieht near town, and it is feared that his wound may prove fatal. He came here from Petersburg but formerly lived in Warren county. There is a mystery about the affair which re mains to be solved." Last night it was learned that the the wounded man was dead. Further information was obtained by the Post which may throw some light on the mystery involved in the affair. A white man, a nephew of Hon. 8. L Patterson, of this city, and a colored man. were driving in a buggy through the country, and when near the weldon fair grounds on uti- day night were held up by two un known men, one of whom caught the bridle of the horse they were driving. The. white man had the reins and and when the unknown men halted them the negro, who had a gun closed at hand, drew it and commenced fir ing. The highwaymen ran and dis appeared. It is not unlikely that the special quoted above and the death of the man shot is the sequel to the at tempted hold-up. ONE PF HERRMANN'S TRICKS. A Bit of Mtnd Reading;' by- tne Fa. moaa Ma.8jlcia.il, "The late Alexander Herrmann always went fixed for an impromptu exhibition, said a theatrical Dress agent who was once associated with the famous ma fcian, "and in the early part of his ca reer he would go to extraordinary pains to 'lay his fences' long in advance for startling effects. In that way he was frequently able to do things that seemed next door to supernatural, and tne result was no end of valuable advertising. In later years, when he became celebrated and systematic booming was no ongep necessary, the old man, as we used to call him, would often refer to these exploits and laugh heartily over the mystification they had occasioned. "On one occasion, to give you an illus tration of his patience and forethought, be was in a popular bar in Pittsburg and chanced to notice a bankbook lying on a desk behind the cigar counter. The cover bore a printed number, which was in Dlain sight, "and when he got outside Herrmann quietly made a memorandum ef it in his notebook, together with the address of the place. There was not more than one chance in a hundred that the information would ever be of any service to him. and he simply filed it awav. so to speak, for possible future reference. "Well, fully six months afterward, when he was playing a return date in the pry, he piloted a party of friends one day into this identical bar, and the proprietor. who was present, was called up and in troduced. Al hands sat down at a table to have a bottle of wine, and, as usual, Herrmann was urged to give an example of his skill. He performed several neat tricks, and, remarking that be would wind up with a little exhibition of mind reading, asked the cafe proprietor to think of some number that could after ward be verified. 'Take the number of vour bankbook.' he suggested, 'if you re member what it is.' 'I don't recall it off hand, but I can easily find out,' said the barman, and going over to his safe he un locked an inside compartment and pri vately inspected the book. 'All right,' he said when be returned to the table; 'I am thinking of the number now.' "Herrmann took fim by the hand, looked him in tbe eyes in his peculiarly impressive fashion and said, The num ber is 129,068.' 'That's right, gasped the cafe proprietor in an awestruck voice. He was absolutely stupefied with amaze ment, and so, for that matter, were the others in the parry. The fact that the book had been locked in. the safe and the apparent impossibility of Herrmann knowing anything about it in advance made the feat seem almost miraculous. It is talked about in the house to this day." New Orleans Times-Democrat. Thinka Florida Is All Marat.
