The lls advantnKe to li feared In a hast" change Is that It may not prove to be n change for the better but rather for the worse. I'ntll the currency reform ers have made Mire that they are right they had better not be permitted to go ahead. Meanwhile, the purposed recommend ation of the pnsident that congress empower the secretary of the treasury not to reissue canceled greenbacks ex cept in exchange for their face value in gold will cut asunder the much dis cussed "endless chain" and rest the whole subject on a basis of unassail able safety pending a better under standing of additional propositions for currency refoi m. If Europe wants to rival the United States lti the art.s of peace she might try the experiment of wasting less money and energy on fruitless prep arations for war. Raise the Standard of Admission. Wo have received from Present t F. Hall, seeietarv of the Immigration Jtestrietion League, of ISoston, the fol lowing communication, which we lu ilnrie unresoivedly: "The inuuisiatlon restriction bill, parsed by both houses of congress at Its last regular session, but vetoed by President Cleveland, contained two fundamental provisions: First, exclu sion of illiterates: second, a "Coiliss amendment,' making it unlawful for aliens, not intending to become, citi zens, to work In the United States and to return homo from time to time. The two piovlslons are clearly not neces sarily parts of the same bill. The ono Fti'Uh by a simple educational test to raie the standards of immigrants, making them more generally fit for cit izenship In this lepublle. The other Is aimed sit certain Canadian 'workmen, wlio hnvu woiked by day in tills eoun 11 y. notably at Detroit, and returned Into Canada at night, and also at Italians and oth'er 'blids of passage,' as the worklnsmen who enter this coun try one or more times for timporary lesldenee, rue called. "There are special reasons whv the two piovMous t'huiiltl be taken up sep arately by the nest congress. The ex odus of our own citizens to the Klon. dike, and ncrosr the Northwestern bor der line, Intending to sojourn tempor fully, makes legislation calculated to pRvent the temporary sojourn of Can adians In this count! y an unwise and unnecessary comnlloutiou. There are also other o.uestlons arising between the 1'nltcd States and Canada at the ptesent time, such as fisheries, seuls, reciprocity and others, which may make It expedient to postpone consid eration of the Corliss (intendment, or at least to embody it In a separate bill. If this Is done, each measure can be considered, voted on, and signed, without having Its fato necessailly de termined by the fate of the other. "The educational test Mauds out dow ns mi urgent necessity; for good gov ernment in thin country rests upon in telligence: and the prosperity of woik 1ns ikojiIo hero depends upon tho standards of llvlnir armour the new rumer, with whom tiny are brought Into competition.

At the recriit dedicatory exercises on the battlefield of Clilckamngua, one of the orator's of the occasion, Oenernl L'oynton, who lit addition to a brilliant war record, enjoys the distinction of being oneof the keenest nnd 'beat trusted newspaper correspondents at the national capital, uttered n senti ment which at tho time provoked some curiosity. IIo said, us we recall It, that there wete portents of a gath'eiing storm between Hie United Stales and the nations of continental ilurope, which might yet ripen Into open hostil ities. In that event he predicted that veterans of the Uray would keep step with tlie M'terans of the Blue In united defence of thtlr common nnd now oiiunlly bclovd country. It was merely an (illusion, but llior.o who know the speaker knew It had si methlug more slgnlllcaut behind It than simply (lenernl lloynton's desire to frame a llgure of speech. Some thing of his meaning Is now unfolded in a letter to the Sun. Tills letter ticiits of the "unmistakable signs" in Ihirope of a "desire to combine against the United States," These, ho asserts, have been steadily growing since our Interpretation of the Monroe doctrine brought Kngland to u halt In South America, with Cerniany just bihlnd her. The IMngley bill for the protec tion of our laborers, our markets, and our manufacturers is, says he, "adding the exasperation of an Industrial war of 'growing intensity to previously un friendly conditions. The voice given by the Austtlan premier has been loud ly echotd from London. Our consular leports from all quarters show that there Is a general outcry approaching constei nation throughout IJurope over the depressing effects of our tariff. The manufactured products of the United States are iniri-astng in every market. Kspeclally is this the ci.se In machinery, and the heavier and costly work In metals which employs great numbers of artisans. In many respects tills Industrial war seems to be re garded by some of the leading powers as moie si rlous now, and more threat ening for their future, than actual war would lie, and a teellng lti undoubt edly growing which finds expression in suggestions that the career of the United States must be checked." What the Austrian statesman, Count Cioluehowskl, said the other day sug gests Itself as evidence in point. His words, delicately veiled, were these: A turning point has been reached In European development which calls fur Hie unremitting attention of govern in nl:.. The gnat problems of material Welfare, which have become more pre.sr Irtt every year, are no longer a matter of the future, but require to bo taken in liind at once. The destructive competi tion with trun--e.'eniii; cotmtriM whii Ii his partly to be carried on at present and pmtly to bo expected in the Immediate ftituro requires prompt and thoiougn counteracting measures If vital Interests of the peoples of Kurope are not to be gravely compti mlscd. They must light tiioulclcr to shoulder against the com icon danger and must arm themselves for the struggle with all the means at their disposal. Just as the sixteenth and sev enteenth centuries were absorbed by re ligious wars, as the eighteenth century was distinguished by the tilumph of lib eral Ideas, and our own century by the appearance of nationality questions, in like manner tho twentieth century would be, for Kurope, a period marked by a struggle for existence in tho polltlco commerelal sphere. The Kuropean na tions must dose their ranks in order sue cessfully to defend their existence. May this bo reillzed everywhere, and may the epoch of peaceful development we now ronlulcntly antlclpato be employed In collecting our strength and devoting ourselves chieily to this end. It Is worthy of note that the address of General Boynton nt Chlekamagua antedated the speech of Count Golu chowskl, to that tho two utterances stand toward each other almost In the relation of prophecy to fulfilment. Kqually Interesting and Important is General lioynton's description of the effect which these foreign develop ments are having upon the best public opinion at Washington. Wc quotu again from his letter In the Sun: To meet these new conditions, those ot our own authorities who art observing them, while favoring neither Jingoism nor aggiesslon, nre convinced that the situa tion demands steady and rapid prepara tion for self defence. While these, under tho dlieetlon of the secretaries of war and navy, are progressing as rapidly as the means provhled by congress will allow, and every month aelds to the degree of security attaineel, the committee of ap propriations will bo asked to take ourtor lieiii relation. Into timely consideration, nnd thus begin a. new departure. Tho llrst effect of giving full weight to foreign uflulrs In trumlng the annual appropria tions will be- enabling our authorities to hastin ivotk with a lew to what may bo badly needed a very few years hence. There will be an attempt to have con gress give serious consideration to . too fact that tho United States Is now com pelled to take is placo among the leading and conttolllng nations. This cannot bo avoided In the march of International progress. Such position Involves vast re sponsibilities, and should carry with It the means of discharging them. It was the height of wisdom for a nation of a tew millions, Just emerging from exliaus. tlvii war with a great power, to follow Washington und avoid all entangling al liances with foreign nations. Hut In theso later days, a peoplo with tho population, resources, and every element of power which compels leadership, must tako cog nizance of such prominence, anil be pre pared to meet Its requirements. The very llrst consideration Is a preparation for de fence. Sooner or later the sharp Jeal ousies which such unparalleled growth ns ours excites In the other powers must bad to a situation where tho fact of thor ough preparation will (ie our only salva tion from war. As to the wisdom of trying to avert truublo by means of an arbitration treaty, General Boynton reports that sentiment at the capital is divided. "The prevailing opinion appears to be," he udde, "that If we uru to bind our. selves with such u treaty It should go hand In hand with ships, nnd docks, and coast defences." It will be well if this opinion shall continue to prevail. .Kurope'a uttempt to wago united com mercial war upon the United States Is yet n lone way from tho danger point. It is credible thut tho will oxlstB among the continental nations and perhaps even In official circles In Kng land to do us Injury. Thu succrii of democratic America Is a direct Insult to cVery hard-up monarchy in Chris tendom. It is not to be wondered at If they squirm. To meditate Injury and to inlllct It nre different things. The peril to America Is not In Ktirope's strength; It will be almost wholly In our unprcparcdness. lleniedy that and the Kuropean democracy-haters can go hang. The Washington Post has sent a special representative to Cuba to study tho operation of the autonomy plan. After a twenty-four hour sojourn In a Havana, hotel among iSpanlsh ofllclols and Cuban autonomists, ho pronounces tho Sagnsla. overture a complete suc cess. It will be wise to await news from Garcia nnd Gomez before being too sure of this, Representative Cannon of Illinois thinks that congress should Ignore Cuba altogether. That is what Can non's constituents are more likely to do to him next summer. It is a characteristic of the present era of German diplomacy that it evinces no such precipitate eagerness to jump on a nation of Germany's size. Mayor Qltlucy, of Boston, has been renominated and tho John U. Sullivan boom Is apparently like Us subject, among the has becus. The Lancaster New Era Is unkind enough to Insinuate that Senator Knuff man is a prevaricator. O no, he is merely a reformer. When Senator Wellington realizes a fortune from his libel suits he had bet ter salt it down and retire from poll- tlCi. Governor Plngreo Is willing at least to pave tho streets of his eountty with good Intentions. TOLD BV TIIE STARS. Dally Horoscope l);awn hv Ajncchus, the Tribune Astrologer.

N HIS message to he sent to congress next Monday President McKlnley will make one positive recommendation in regard to the currency. That recom mendation will be an nelvocacy of the plan which he has originated providing for the breaking of the endless chain and the elralnlng of the treasury's gold by means so simple that It appears to correct the evil, and, at the same time, does not Involve a contraction of the ourrenty, which has been so much feared. The president's plan, stated in Its slmplejst form, Is this: Whenever, for export or any other reason, a. person desires gold ho can obtain the same from the treasury on tho surrender of an. equal amount of greenbacks. Whenever, for any reason, such as tho movement of crops or the de mands of trade, currenty is required, it can bo obtained from tho treasury on the surrender of gold. In other words, In steael of tho present method, by which a person paying Into the treasury a million dollars In greenbacks receives In return a million In gold, and those greenbacks aro Immediately reissued and made uso of by some else to obtain another million of the yellow metal from the govern ment, the greenbacks, under tho presi dent's plan, when exchanged for goia, will be held practically locked up until some body, for business reasons, Is moie anx ious for currency than for gold, and la willing to surrender gold for the paper. o The merit of this scheme, as explained by the president to persons with whom ho has discussed It, Is that it does not In any way contract tho currenty or du ti.rb Its equilibrium. All that it does Is to make the banks share with tho govern ment tho duty of providing gold when thero Is a demand lor the jellow metal. As the law now exists, with the balance of trade against this country and Inter national balances having to bo settled In gold, the New York banker having to make remittances to London finds it moro convenient to draw his gold from tlie treasury than to obtain it from his bank. All that he has to do is to transfer a cer tain sum In greenbacks from his bank iwcount to the sub treasury In Wall street and receive in return an equiva lent amount In gold. At other times In the year, when tl o crops aro being moved or when there Is a demand for small bills In the Intel lor, the New York or Iiostou banker again makes use of the treasury as a convenience and obtains this small currency from tho government In return for largo bills, and although practically at that time currency Is moro valuable than gold, the banks do not disturb their holding of the metal, but draw on the treasury for tho paper. o Tlie president believes that If his plan Is adopted, whenever from natural causes paper Is more In demand than gold, and tho banks having a redundancy of tho metal, they will naturally exchange it at tho treasury for paper, Inasmuch as It is too expensive for them to ship gold to tho Interior, and besides, tho incoinenl 'eftco of handling gold Is so great that they would not attempt It. If put In prac tical operation this plan would not re strict circulation, Inasmuch ns the gov ernment now holds a. gold fund, which, of course, is valueless as a circulating medium as long as It remains in the treis. uiy vaults, and for every greenback taken In by tho treasury an equivalent amount of gold will be released. o Beyond this suggestion it Is not ex pected tho president will go In the direc tion of recommendations for correcting our present faulty system., Ho takes tno position that tho operation of tho endless chain Is practically tho only menace to tho government and to public confidence In tho government's operation?, and there, fore the llrst duty of congress Is to re move this dunger. If congrcfs wishes to go further, and to take up tho general question of banking and currency, It will llnd food for the v.ght In tho report of Sec retary Gage, to which tho president will call attention in words of commendation. Tho president has no currency plan of Ids own to bring forward, and ho Is not sure that congress Is ready to tako up that general question, But ho will urge tho national legislature to provide the nnvxas of breaking the operation of the endlc' chain, which may at any tlnio luvolvu tho government and the finance of the conn. try in illnioulty, even If It Is not prepared to go beyond this, and rcvlso tho wholo system. THE WAV TO PARTV DIVISION. From tho Philadelphia Press. Senator Wlllinm II. Andicwc recently of Crawford county, but now of Alle gheny, not satinled with his unfortuiiitn management of the Dehinvatcr ulfulr sev eral years ago, has imelcrUkcu to nomi nate another candidate for governor next year. Tlie methods adopted seem to be very much the same n those which char UPtcrlzcd tho Uelaimiter blunder abiwo and vilification of eveiy conspicuous Ite publlcan In the sdato who may be sus pected of possible eligibility. o .Something should have been learned from experience. When In the campaign for tho nomination of Mr. Andrews' can ellelato in h'M tho anuil batteiies were opened upon every other Ilcpubllcan who was suggested or supported for the nomi nation, It crwited a demoralisation In tho party which precluded entire harmony and no doubt contributed lo the ulttmatei disaster. That canvass was conducted for personal bctietlt openly nndshaine lobsly, and heedless ot party Interests cr the welfare ot the state. Senator An drews and his aids are getting tho prcsemt canvass in the same shape. To delaine and abuse llepubllcaus ot distinction nnd integrity who have done much to give character to the party Is nn Insult to Ke publleanlsm. It Is party wrecking and Is possible only to those who prefer lo wreck tho chance of party success If ihe result cannot be made to serve their own Individual mid sclllsh ends. It is precise ly the course that has led to defeat In tho past and only those who are willfully blind fall to ice that It must mean dejeat In the future If persisted In. o There aro many bundled of Itcpubll cans In Pennsylvania any one of whom would bo an honor to the party and to tho commonwealth In the executive oT ilce. There are plenty of men with slf rospect enough to be no man's tool. Any mombcr of the party has a right to be a candidate for governor and to seek the support of tho people for his eumlliui'.'y. Tho nomination is no man's exclusive pilvllege, and expeilcnee bus shown that when It has been made by unfair means and by Indecent and unjust treatment of competitors It has been a nomination not worth having, because tho peoplo have refused to ratify it. o There Is no reason to suppose the tem per of the peoplo is different now fruit what It has been in the past. Among the masses there Is an Inherent and commend, able love of drrency nnd fair play. Tho Republican people ef Pennsylvania arc not low-minded and degraded, and will bo certain to resent In the future, as th-y have In the past, the contemptible black guardism enu.loNid to Injure llepubllcaus of distinguished ability and of the high est character, who have rendered tho party and the Mate elevating service's". The history of somo iccent campaigns must have been forgotten by those who are following this disreputable course. Tho candidate nominated by such meth ods has never had any chance of election. o Those who pursue that kind of cam paign aro planning party detent. Abuse and calumlnntlon will not hurt those they are aimed it, but they will recoil uoon those In whoss behalf they are employed. Such methods ere destructive of party harmony: they prepare the way for party division and party defeat. TOO MANY MURDERS. From the Philadelphia Times. There Is not a single state nor territory In the Union In which there Is not a trial for murder pending. In the state of Kentucky there are forty-seven cases con. corning nlr.ety-ono prisoners for murder awaiting trial. In Virginia there are at least twenty-three charges of murdir. In tho llrst state only seven ot the men In jail to be tried for the capital offousu of murder are negroes, In Virginia theio aro eight. North Carolina has twenty cases or more, Georgia has twenty-seven, Louisiana a scoie, Texas thirty-two or thirty-three, JllFsourl twenty-tour, Illi nois sixteen, Indiana seven, .Michigan three, Ohio eight, Pennsylvania twenty six, New York forty-two, Conntctlcut, Ithodo Island anil Vermont one. New Hampshire has Just settled one of lier three by a sentence of thirty years im posed upon a crazed assassin. California has twenty-seven cases on her docket,' and altogether there are 280 charges ot murder on the criminal dockets of tho various states und territories. o What an awful showing this Is! It be comes tho more significant as it is ob served that thero Is no elomlnatlng cause of these crimes, unless It he that In the large cities they are meire frequently eon ncoted with robbery). Love, revenge, madness, pure thirst of theddlng blood, gain, jealousy, political wrangles, family feuds and drunken brawls are a few ot the sources from which tho homicidal acts have origin. Somo rrtm not to have even the plea of madness, to which so many of the causeless crimes are re terred. It Is a mooted point whether legal punishment has any deterrent effect upon crime, but no one can not the terribly suggestive figures given above without an earnest wish that punishment might have a real test. UNTI.UIILY. From the Chicago Tribune. "The legitimate drama," tho young wo man with tho bro.nl, intellectual brow was saying, "affords a twofold plcasuio antlclpatlve and retrospectiveapart from, tho enjoyment ono derives freim It In Its actuality. It leaves no unpleasant taste. It panders to no morbid appetite for the sensational. It meets ono on tho upper plane of cue's mind, so to epeuk, anel Intellect communes with Intellect. Have you never noticed how the tuticy sernietlmcs leans to meet tho unspoken thought ho ,v there se'ems lo be u, tree play of tho Imagination In which words have no part In which forms ot spee:h are vehicles far too clumsy to convey the ethereal idea?
