The Message and the Money Question.
The public are naturally interested in
the treatment which the President will
give the currency in his message next
week. How will he handle a matter
of such great moment to the country?
‘Will he be decided in his recommendations
of the measures that should be passed by
Congress in regard to the currency, or will
he he evasive in what he shall have to say
on that subject ?
It is not difficult to conceive what Presi-
dent McKINLEY’S party inclinations are in
this matter. The influence that controls
the Republican organization strongly favors
the most extreme policy of the goldites.
The banks, the corporations and the trusts,
which contributed the means to elect Mc-
KINLEY, are arrayed under the gold stand-
ard. All the monopolies, that constitute
the strongest element in the Republican or-
ganization, have a fellow feeling for the gold
monopoly. The entire force of tariff bene-
ficiaries are gold-bugs. The plutocracy,
which supplies the Republican party with
its most powerful supporters are as a unit
for the gold standard of value as the surest
basis of their wealth.
All these influences, so closely connect-
ed with his party and associated with his
political life, would naturally incline the
President to decisive expressions in favor of
the most extreme gold monometallism ; but
he is conscious that a majority of the peo-
ple are in favor of free silver. He knows
that a large element in his own party are
not favorable to the gold policy of Wall
street. The great vote for BRYAN last
year, and the popular expression in this
year’s elections convince him that the pop-
ular sentiment inclines to the money of
the constitution.
Between two such opposite influences
Mr. McKINLEY is not the kind of a man to
take a determined position, and it may
be expected that his expressions in regard
to the currency will be so lacking in de-
cision as to be of a shuffling character.

——While in Pittsburg recently one of
Bellefonte’s distinguished old residents
saw his first Salvation Army street meeting
and so overcome was he with the sound of
the drums, the blare of the trumpets. a
rattling tambourine and its little brown-
eyed player that when she appeared for a
collection he thrust his fingers into his
vest pocket, thinking there was a dime
there. When the coin appeared it proved
to be a quarter, but the bright, brown
eyes were on the stranger to salvation
methods and their irresistible appeal took
his money before he had realized how much
it was.

in town and were driven to Mrs. George
Lose’s, on Spring street, where they will
make their home for the winter. Mr.
Robbins is originally from Hughesville,
but came here more than a year ago, from

paralysis from which she could not re-
cover. Sunday she died and on Monday
Mr. and Mrs. Sheffer left for Freeport,
their old home, to attend the funeral which
takes place to-day. Mrs. Miller, a pleasant
old woman 81 years of age, spent much of

Sheffer, but at the time of her death was in

months visiting Mrs. McClelland, another
daughter. ns x
