The dispatch of yesterday crediting the Reed boom with a threatening spurt belonged by rights in the fiction de partmtnt and must have got in the news page by. mistake. The Proper Money Plank. The Wllkes-Barre Record correctly states the attitude of the great majori ty of the membership of the Republi can party when it dec-tares that what they want Is: " "First,' a tariff and revenue policy that will give our home lndutries protection and prosperity and bring revenues enough into the treasury to meet the requirements of the govern ment, together with a sufficient surplus to gradually reduce the national debt. Second, a financial policy that will give the country a sufficient volume of dol tars, every one of which, whether gold, tilver or paper, has the same purchas ing power as the standard gold dollar." Our contemporary Is plainly within the truth when it declares that "a fin ancial plank embodying these princi ples will not be a 'straddle;' it will not be a concession to the free silver fan atics; it would be a recognition of the conservative, patriotic, common sense spirit that permeates the great body of the American people, upon whose votes the Republican party depends for re storation to power In the national gov ernment." As the Washington Star, an Independent but conservative paper, ob serves In the same connection: A stringent gold plank In the platform would misrepresent the party. The party Is not In favor of the single gold standard. It Is !n favor of the double standard, safeguarded. Gold payments will be main tained until bimetallism Is secured by In ternational agreement, or, safely, by other means. Gold monometallism has never been advocated by the Republican party. There would huve been no talk of It at this 'time If the Republican party had re mained In power. The Sherman law would probably have iippn modified, but some thing In skiver's Interests, and reasonably satisfactory to silver's friends, would have been put In Its place. The Republican party, though always opposed to the free coinage of silver as an Independent act by this government, has always been friendly to silver, and Is tlio author of all the laws designed to help rehabilitate sli ver. The campaign for a radical deliver ance In favor of gold monometallism carried to the extreme of retiring treas ury notes and greenbacks and declin ing utterly to sanction additional coin age of silver la of Democratic origin and had for Its object the diversion of popular attention away from the Cleve land administration's tariff failure. It Is not a Republican artifice and Repub licans "would be foolish to adopt It. No honest man can wish to debase tho currency. No honest man can wish to cheat a creditor. No honest man ran wish to lower" the wages of labor by making payments in an inferior dollar. But It Is simply ridiculous to say that , because the last Democratic adminis tration made a horrible mess, of our revenues and our finances, Republicans should be stampeded by Mr. Cleveland Into branding with the Btlgma of in famy their own past legislation In be half of silver and undertaking by plat form declaration to discredit their own history. The proper plank for the St Louis convention should embody this Idea, If not these words: "The record of the Republican party shows that It is the party of safety. True to this past, it declares now and pledges its future effort n behalf of International bi metallism, but opposes as needlessly hazardous the unlimited coinage of sil ver by this nation alone, and demands a currency fitted to the needs of busi ness, with all Its dollars equal in pur chasing; power to the best dollar any where.'1. Such a plank would satisfy every fair-minded man who has no special axe to grind, and be the slogan of a noble victory. Anyhow, Tom Reed has this consola tion: No one denies that he Is fit to be president.' , . ... , , , , , . . The latest "plagiarist' Is Emlle Zola. It Is charged that In writing his last hook, "Rome," ho bodily stole whole paragraphs from a book, printed, one year ago by a fellow-Frenchman, M. Flrmin-Dldot, , The citations In support of the charge show that M. Zola bor rowed liberally, but do not prove that he exceeded the limit of literary license. All new books are founded in some measure on older ones. It Isn't acces sary to summon Shakespeare to prove this. Modern instances may be recall ed without number. It. Zola could have bettered his reputation by giving credit In a preface to the authors to whose labor he helped himself. But the fact that he omitted this courtesy is scarcely a sufficient Justification, for filling the heavens with a din of howls and yells. It must be said as a matter of veracity that the Republicans of Luierne do not seem to be making much ado over the Palmer purity platform. Are they wed ded to the golden Idols? The Vice-Presidency. Three questions were recently pro pounded by the Chicago Times-Herald to a number of prominent delegates to the Republican National convention. They were: (1) What, If anything, should be done to make the office of vice-president of tho United States worthier the aspirations of our fore most statesmen? (2) Should the official duties and responsibilities be enlarged? (3) Should the salary be increased? The replies are Interesting and diver sified. Governor Bushnell, of Ohio, thinks there should be a constitutional amendment which will provide that tho vice'-presldent of the United Stales shall be a member of the cabinet, "thus enabling him to obtain more accurate knowledge and current information about the affairs of the government, over which he might Borne time be called to preside as chief executive. Such extension of his official duties and probably an Increase In the salary would," he adds, "Increase the dignity and emphasize the Importance of tne ofllce." Among those who concur in this view are A. M. Stevenson, of Den ver; Senator Cannon, of Utah, who sug gests that tho salary be Increased to $23,000; but doesn't see how the duties can be Increased; Congressman Hunter, of Kentucky. Curtis Guild, Jr., of Mas sachusetts, and Senator Wellington, of Maryland. The most emphatic message of dis sent comes from General Felix Agnus, of Baltimore. Says he: "If the vice presidency Is underrated it is not the fault of the office. It Is a place of great dignity and undoubted responsibility. I cannot think of any legislation that could make It more worthy of the aspir ations of our foremost statesmen. To Increase the salary would not do it, and such an Increase would be a manifest injustice to the speaker of the house of representatives, whose duties are In finitely more difficult than the work of presiding over the senate. I do not see how the official duties and responsi bilities can be enlarged without mak ing a Joint social or political arrange ment of the presidency and vice-presidency, and this would be absurd. In my opinion, the vice-presidency is best as it is, and it. is an office which the most gifted American should be proud to hold." Other eminent dissenters are Senators Dubois, Carter and Gear, and Representatives Hepburn, Johnson, Qulgg and Allen. One of the objections raised to In creasing the vice-president's salary is that It would appear to discriminate against the speaker of the house, who does twice as much work. This objec tion overlooks the fact that the vice president is under social obligations which do not rest in equal measure up on the speaker. It also forgets that the vice-presidency Is In dignity an office that should rise as far above the speak ership as the presidency In turn rises above it It 1 not probable that the vice-presidency will soon be enlarged, either as to salary or as to Influence. But it ought to be. there will be one disappointed man be cause of the failure of the Hastings vice-presidential boom. His name Is John Wanamakcr and he Is a candidate for senator. For an Elastic Bank Circulation. A Philadelphia banking firm, Bloren & Co., in a circular giving its views as to the kind of a money plank which ought to be adopted at St. Louis, sug gests the following: This party pledges Itself to maintain the present parity of the gold dollar unim paired. Unaided by an International agreement, thlB country cannot add great ly to Its silver coinage without appalling catastrophe while present conditions gov ern the production of silver. The west ern and southern portions of the United States imperatively and justly demand that an Increased circulation be provld. ed to meet their pressing needs a circu lation of stable value and so Introduced as to strengthen national credit at home and abroad. This party, therefore, pledges to the nation the use of Its Influence and power to secure such Immediate legisla tion as shall permit of the issue of a local bank note circulation, under certain na tional supervision, .payable in gold or Its equivalent, and secured by safeguards to regulate the volume ajid protect the value of such notes. While the wording of the first sen tence In this proposed plank is faulty no single dollar, whether of gold or sil ver, having such a thing as parity, its Intention is sound, and to It every Re publican can cheerfully subscribe. The wording would be improved If it were to say: "This party pledges Itself to maintain at a parity of values all American dollars, whether of gold, silver or paper." Such a sentence would say all that needs to be said and, in fact, all that can be said by any one nation In reference to the matter of a monetary Standard. But It Is to the second suggestion that attentien Is especially directed. On June 80, 1892, the total amount of money In circulation among the American peo ple was 11,601,347,187 a per capita cir culation of $24.44. On June 1, 1896, the total amount was $1,521,584,283 a per capita circulation of $21.36. Here Is a shrinkage during the past four years of $3.09 per capita, or enough to account for much of the popular dissatisfaction now rife with , reference to our cur rency system, A sound banking sys tem In the South and West would do much to afford necessary relief. Amid all the contemporary clatter concerning the precious metals. It is well to bear this Philadelphia suggestion in mind. It may yet prove the key to the entire problem. Governor Hastings' explicit refusal to become a candidate for vice-president sacrifices Pennsylvania's chance of get ting a place on the next national ticket But It probably opens the way for Sena tor Quay to become secretary of the navy if "he shall desire to enter McKin ley's cabinet The restoration of protection and the replacement of the government on a debt-paying basis will go far toward minimising the Importance of the cur rency issue. Protection, at all events, Is the paramount essential. Now that congress Is off his hands, we dare say President Cleveland will stock a government gun-boat with live and liquid bait and steam away on tne majestic ocean to where the fishes play. Just how It can be construed as treachery for Joseph II. Mauley to tell the truth as to the certainty of Mc Kinley's nomination it is difficult tor the average on-looker to discern. The probability Is that Speaker Reed laid the corner stone of his own defeat for the presidency when he exhibited the white feather by urging congress to adopt a do-nothing policy. The Tribune today will post In front of its business office Postal Telegraph company bulletins announcing at fre quent Intervals the proceedings of tne St. Louis convention. Mr. Reed's peremptory rejection of the v.oe-presldency will not Injure the Republican party, but will its effect be correspondingly harmless on Thomas B. Reed? It would be a good thing if Quay, Mar tin and Magee would catch the harmony Infection from Marcus Hanna and take a pledge to forgive and forget We are sorry to observe that none of our Democratic friends has yet advo cated Tariff "Bill" Wilson for the Demo cratic nomination. The fact of the matter is that even without the umpire's help, Colonel Shannon's men would have been hard to beat Harper's Weekly just now Is eclipsing all past records In its adulant toadying to Mr. Cleveland. Well, he needs it A CURIOUS ANNOUNCEMENT. From the Washington Post. We note with interest the announce ment given out from the state depart ment, on Thursday, to the effect that the president intends taking no action with reference to the Cuban Insurrection; that he Is glad congress has adjourned and left him free from annoyance in that re spect. Even more Interesting are the rea sons given for this feeling of relief in tho president's mind. The explanation Is made with enguging frankness that Sen ator Morgan's resolution would, if adopt ed, have compelled him either to sign or to veto the measure. lie was averse to signing it because Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish envoy, had assured that his sig nature would have brought on a war, and he was averse to vetoing It because that would huve put him In an attitude of hos tility to the overwhelming sentiment of the country.. Thus we are told that the adjournment of congress has relieved the president of a very awkward dilemma, and that for the future ho will trouble him self no more about the Cubans and their trumpery affairs. II II II It is a strange announcement upon the whole perhaps the most remarkable one that has ever emanated from Mr. Cleve land. Here is a president of the United States, the people's servant, admitting that those he serves desire, almost to a man, to have him do a certain thing, and In the next breath confessing that he would rather not do that thing because the diplomatic representative of a foreign nation threatens him with war. Now, however, he has escaped the dilemma, and feels easy in his mind. And he hopes that, by the time congress reassembles, conditions In Cuba will have so changed as to spare him nny further annoyance in the premises. What can happen between now and next December to rob the Cuban question of its difficulties except the ex termination of the Insurgents? It Is an absolute certainty that the insurgents have no Idea of surrendering. Better be killed In battle than shot or tortured to death by W'eylor. It Is Improbable that tho Insurgents can destroy the Spanish armies, for the latter stay penned up In fortified places and the rebels have no ar tillery. What, then, can Mr. Cleveland look forward to with such prayerful ex pectation except the utter extinction of the insurgents? Certainly this Is a curi ous utterance. It is an utterance which may well make humane and patriotic people think. Ir I! II Meanwhile, the chronicle of outrage upon American citizens and destruction of their property swells with each suc ceeding day. Is callous Indifference to these things part of Mr. Cleveland's pro gramme of summer ease and recreation? The latest case is that of Senor Delgado, a duly naturalized American cltlsen; who Is tho owner of a large and valuable es tate not far from Havana. One day a few Insurgents called at his place and asktd for water, or, perhaps, something to eat, While he was talking with them a band of Spanish soldiers appeared upon the scene, drove off the Insurgents, ami then took Senor Delgado prisoner. Without asking questions or knowing anything of the facts, they condemned him to death, put him on his knees, and then fired a vol ley at his back. One or more bullets struck him, but did not kill him. Then the officer In charge drew his saber and struck Benor Delgado a violent blow In the face, leaving a dreadful gash. Still the unhappy man survived. At last ho reached Havana and sailed for New York. Now he is here, perhaps in Washington at this moment. -He comes to ask tho president whether this great nation pro. poses to .protect' its citizens as against wanton outrages on their persons and their property. His Is not an Isolated case. It Is typical. Are ell of these ques tions to be postponed until congress meets again? II II u ' And there Is another mystery which perplexes observant folk the mystery of the sudden suppression of Mr. Morgan's joint resolution. How did that resolution come to die so utterly? What was It that the president said to. Senators Sherman, Gray and Lodge-what was tho argu ment which persuaded them to fall away from Senator Morgan and connive t the asphyxiation of his resolution? Those Who have heard and are still wondering at ths president's strange declaration of relief, would like to know how It all cattle about. They would like to know by what repre sentations the president managed to sub due the impetuosity of Mr. Lodge and reconcile him to delay, If not Inaction, in aoause for which he had previously shown such great activity and seal. This whole question is Immersed in mystery. Who, excepting Mr. Cleveland, holds the key? TOLD BY THE STARS. Daily Horoscope Drawn by AJaccant, . The Tribune Astrologer.'
