Now that it is plain that it was a mistake to arrange to put tbe President on stumping tour, the organs are saying that tie su.rv about a tour through Ohio waa a "Democratic roorback." "a silly and malicious story," Ac. It waa not, though: aud some of these same organs welcomed the first announcement. They had straight information on the subject, and of course felt it to be their duty to enthusiastically jiporove any arrangement Mr.

Uanna had made. Of course, the President would comply with any demand the Big Boss might make on him, but probably Mr. Hanna sees himself that there ia a certain point below which the Presidential dignity should not be dragged. "General Miles," say a an exchange, "Is still over in Europe acting as the hand- homest mau Queen, Victoria ever saw." Perhaps it is time to "let up" oa the General. He is a fine soldier, and deserves the gratitude and admiration 61 the country.

Ooo! naan. within his proper official limits. There will be found on this pa Th Enquirer this morning a Inroo letter to the Xew York World, which ought to. be read attentively. ty eTerybody who wants to be well ioforwd on the question of bi-roetailim.

THvy Coniiillr Ij'bierdsle, long tiorereor of the Bank of Kugland, eaks for the Ilritinb when he says substantially that there is no prvwpeet of Kngland entering into an international agreement? He frankly ays that to indoce her to" do so the other countries must prewent something decidedly to her advantage. So long a Kiitflnnd is doing well she will have nothing co do ifh silver. She wonhl not touch it unles times were hard with ln r. What d'M-s he rare for the hard times in the I'uited or in all other conntrie of the world? To look to Kngland to voluntarily help ua to bimetallism is a will-o'-the-wip.

eonntry mut look nt for itelf. Wbn it leads, others will follow. Mr. Sherman kindly stepped out of tbe Senate to be out of Mr. Hanna'a way, but he des not aeeiu to give up the State Krtfolio to anybody.

And why should he? People -talk atwut litpae of nieiiMiry on his, part, and a few audacious reporters ir the. opinion that he i a mental dWIiue; but he is not. It is a pity for the country that be not. He knows enough to make a crest deal of trouble for the fieople while he is in official oitiou. When his is wound up he will be chiefly "written" as the man ho knew that silver was licing demonetised that a longstanding oppresaioii of the eople was about to.be inaugurated and didn't telL Anybody who wants to say anything uiicoropliujeiitary of Mr.

Shermau should keep harping on that. The Secretary might soften the harshui-ss of history by kicking the President Into s.liie tamitiou on Cuba that is not simply consistency of rain Sherman's is all right ou Cuba. There is some uncertainty alniut the scheme to start President McKiuley on a eakiug tour through Ohio from the plat form of a railway car. The major Indi cation is that the arrangement has been lied off. While it was still understood m- 1 I to be a go.

tlie lora r-un snu; President McKiuley will oiake a railroad tour of the state, not as a stump speaaer. but in a nioder fashion, talking for the ticket from the platform of his railroad i car. 1 lie acconipnsnmenis oi tne Vork Sun are by no means coutined to iK.xing tbe political compass, and we rely on it for an explanation of the difference between stump-speaking and talking in a modest fashion for the ticket, as may be exemplified by the President. Mr. Mt- Kinley has been justly celebrarred in Ohio for making one sieech do a great deal of duty.

A single oration will stand more wear and tear in the hands of the "advance agent of than in those of anv other man who has been on the hustings in Ohio. It may reasonably be expected that the same old speech will be dispensed from the tailgate of the hippodrome car. Possibly it will depend on the time and circumstances under which it is delivered whether it ia a stamp speech or a modest talk. If. If the yield of gold in the Klondylce dis trict should, during the next three years.

equal the entire amount of the gold which ba accumulated during the world's existence up to this time, we should have twice as much of the yellow metal as we now have. This would render the remonetization of silver unnecessary, for the reason that the destruction of one half tlie world's money of the two metals would be ollset by such a doubling of the world's gold money. If the average range of prices of the forty- five leading commodities would go up 07 per cent at once, it would show that their decline of 40 per cent during the last twenty years had not been caused by the demonetization of silver. If the of the United States should next year be only one half of what it is now, and none at all should be produced IJ any other country, wheat would probably go np to two dollars and a half a bushel. If on the other hand the wheat crops of this and all other nations sb.ou.fd lie twice as great next ear as they ever were before, wheat would probably go down to twenty-five cents a bushel.

Neither of these statements in the least degree affects the fact that tbe average, price of wheat during the Jast twenty years has beeu governed by the price of silver bullion. The law of supply and demand has always controlled, rcsVt would in the two cases above supposed but that law has to be considered as applied to both gold and wheat in the same transaction. If nothing but gold should be used as money, and if the Klondyke country does' not at once double the amount new in the world. the supply of money would be so small that the demand upon each, piece would be so great that whoever was compelled to have some with which to pay debt would have to give at least twice as much property for it as he would now, even at present depressed prices. If it is dishonest to scale down debts, it must be equally dishonest to scale down property with which people must obtain the money to pay the debts.

If the gold. standard completely established would enable British money-lenders to extort from their debtors two dollars for every one they borrowed, as Mr. Gladstone three years ago said in effect that it would do, how would it do to restore silver coinag in thia country, and pay only the one dollar that is honestly due If foreign usurers loan money on gold con tracts and then enhance tbe value of gold by purchased legislation, how much more-moral are they than the men who are "doing time' in our penitentiaries for raising checks? If it was honest in William McKinley, to say, as he did in 1SX, "I am for the largest use of silver in the currency of the country. I would not dishonor it; I would give it equal credit and honor with gold; I would make no discrimination; I would utilise both metals as money and discredit' neither. I want the double standard how can it be dishonest for the Democratic party to stand.

as it does, uu the same platform to-day. and why should Gold "National" remocrats leave their own party and go with the Republicans, who have elected to the. Presidency the author of the silver coinage policy above quoted? If William McKinley was honest in advo cating free silver coinage in 1800, and honeet In advocating the gold standard In 1896; how is the parity to be maintained between his two honesties? MB.

That France ie anxious to facilitate-n taternatlooaj agree- ment I know, because she would be an enormous gainer if tbe value of silver were appreciated, seeing tbe vast board of rbaU metal she baa. at her disposal, "The really vital question ta tbe opening of the Indian mints.

Tbe other proposals mooted In tbe press, such as the withdraw ing 'of tbe half sovereigns from circulation la thia country, are of altogether minor im portance. The Chancellor of, the. Exchequer, who Is not'a Jjlmetallist," has stated that he will advise the Indian Government to re open the Indian mints if the other countries interested in a bimetallic agreement can guarantee that tbe value of silver snail be maintained. Has he got that guarantee? Welt, that remains to be If an agreement Were arrived at for fix ing an International ratio at to 1, that would be doubling the. value of sliver, and would cause a tremendous disturbance of trade.

It haa been suggested that tbe change might be brought about gradually; but would not that nave the -effect of un settling trade conditions to an -extent equal- I i ly serious? I now repeat what I said to the World some time ago, that I do not believe Eng land Is likely to attempt to go on a bimetal lic oasis unlesa under tbe stress of exceptionally hard times, whereas at present ber prosperity la undoubted. The withdrawal of the ten-shilling gold pieco from circulation here would be an unpopular measure, both among the employ ers of labor and the pubHc generally, who like to carry their money in the smallest compass. The other suggestion that tbe Bank of England should keep one fifth of Its bullion reserve In silver, as It already Is empowered to do would in my opin ion, give any substantial relief. "As to an International If the United States and France Invite Great Brit ain to another conference. Great Britain, an act of International courtesy, un doubtedly would accept the Invitation, but the conference would be of no value unless France, the United Btates and Great Britain agree beforehand to submit proposals which will induce the other Powers interested to agree upon an international scheme.

The whole situation turns upon the question whether the American Commission and the French Government can offer suf ficient inducement to England to reopen the Indian Mint." 'Do you consider that promised rich finds of gold in the Klondike region, if realised. are likely to affect the bimetallic question?" the World oerrvepondent asked. "No, indeed." Mr. Lldderdale answered. I do not.

want all the gold we can get. The demand for It la increasing every day. and there is no reason to hope that It will be found too plentifully for the normal requirements of the world's expanding trade." Walter Burns, of J. 8. Morgan Old Broad street.

Is a strong' monometallism and his views on the subject naturally are more positive than those of Mr. Lldderdale. Mr. Burn said: I don't believe they, will reopen the In dian mints, for the simple reason that the rupee, nominally 48 cents, would fall to 16 cents, and rupee bonds, now at 105, would fall to 50. Why ahould England provoke such a disaster to India as that? As to the withdrawal of the gold ten-shilling piece from circulation.

It would be at once un popular and utterly useless. It might afford a trifling amount of relief for a year, then the gap would be filled and the last condition of the silver question would be worse than the first. The silver question. In fact, really ha settled itself, aa silver 1 now at 2a Bd. TTeu ask me If there li likely to be an International money "conference.

Well, I believe England will accept an Invitation to one out of courtesy but how will that ad vance matters? The conference will be a mere waste of time unless the Governments concerned have a proposal cut and dried to lay before It, and there is no likelihood of any such proposal being agreed upon. "I don't believe for an Instant that the British Government Intends to do anything. Englishmen have', a way of 'No' which Americana might mistake for 'Tea' They have received the Bimetallic Commission courteously, as they alwaya do. They liaen attentively to. what they nave got to aay and they do not reply without due de liberation.

Who was recently sentenced to life Imprisonment for tbe murder of FredX. Strange, waa fatally Injured, and Ms brother Edward, who assisted blm In hla break for liberty, waa seriously wounded by the guard. Two of the latter were wounded by the Willis brothers. Everett who bad gone Into the prison to visit hsi brother, bad contrived to pas a revolver to Herbert, retaining a weapon himself, and with these they tried to overcome the guards. Everett Willis was removed to-th Massachusetts General Hospital, wber It was found that be had been SHOT THS HEAD iXD XKCKV Herbert Willi, who is In the prison hospital, was shot twice in the head.

The two guards who were hurt were Turnkey K. F. Darling, who waa shot In the thigh and cut about the head, and Yard Officer Abbott, who waa also Injured about the bead by blow, thought to have been delivered with the revolvers in the hands of tbe desperadoes. Everett Willi arrived at the prison this forenoon to pay a monthly1 visit to hi brother. He waa admitted by the usual officials.

Herbert was escorted to the guardroom to meet him. At the time Officer Edward Wbltbam and Turnkey Darling were In the rotunda with Tard Officer Abbott, Officer Townsend and others nearby. Five other visitors were In the rotunda at the UmM man. two women and two children. The Willi brothers had been conversing in a low tope, sitting apart from th other lp the ruardroom.

for about haft" an hour. when Officer Whltham saw the visitor pass a revolver to his brother and together they sprang toward Turnkey Darling, their Intention evidently being to secure bis keys. Whltham rushed to Darling- assistance, and as he did sf the Willis brother opened fire. One bullet -struck Darling in the thigh. Seeing the desperate nature of the affair, WHITHAM RETURNED THE TIRE, But missed.

Officer Abbott, who came through the door Into the guard room at the same instant, saw the trouble and grappled with Everett Willis. Both who had been beating Darling, began to pound Abbot. Townsend from the office door then fired a shot which penetrated the neck of Everett Willis, and a 'second later Officer Benjamin, who was on duty In one of the wings, fired a shot through the bar, wounding Everett Willis in the head. Meanwhile. Herbert Willis had fired Bey-era! shots from his revolver, to which the officials responded, using great care not to hit the other visitors.

A shot from the revolver of Officer Whltham took effect in Herbert's head, while one from Darling's pistol found lodgment in the back of the murderer's head. Herbert Willis was then I secured and removed, from the scene. Ev erett Willis was also taken away, ana me officers, nearly-all of whom bore some mark of the affair, were given prompt medical attention. It Is thought none of them will suffer seriously, except perhaps Darling, who Is of advanced The, jfeulfl, which struck Darling in he thigh JftssM through the limb and is considered dAfytgrows. in vleW of the possibility V.plPOqjllSW' Herbert Willis Is In oMvdlt.lon a a result of his wound, and I nereis little that he will survive.

Mr. M. Davis, a fisherman, who was angling In the Miami yesterday, three mile outh of the city, related to the police to-day a grewsome Incident that marred the day's sport. He had bailed bis hook for carp and bass, and thought he had captured an enormous fish of the latter Species when be was horrified at the discovery that he had caught the dead and swollen body of a man. Tbe legs and feet of the man protruded from the surafce of the water.

Then the line broke and the body disappeared Into the watery depths. Davis hastily gathered bis string of carp and fishing equipments and fled the The police have no theory as to th Identity of the drowned body unless It waa afforded two week ago by four negroes who bee their way Into the city on a north-bound train. They told a policeman that a six teeo-year-old white boy sitting on the step of a forward car waa struck by th bridge crossing- the Miami and knocked from the steps. He fell to the bank below. Nothing waa found at the time by the police who searched the river bank.

ITS OWN ACTION Haa lie vised the Board of Review Oat of Existence. Cincinnati Poet have seen the strong words of the expert employed by the Board of Review, "to aay that the Waterworks Department has been or is now economically managed would be a misuse of words." We have seen the vigorous report of the special committee of the Board of Review, In which the commit tee speaks of the report of Mr. McLaugh lin as "full and comprehensive, and as showing a "vast amount of labor combined with great skill and fidelity." The report of. tbe special committee was adopted by the full Board of Review, not a man vot- ina- aa-alnst It- Now see what happened. Th McLaughlin report waa made December 2.

Mtl; It Was adopted by the board December 17. In less than days afterward the Board of Review was abolished by an act of the Leg islature, and the Board of Supervisors created In Its place. The Board of Review was appointed by the Superior Court; th Board of Buoervisors was appointed Dy tne Mayor. Th Board of Review, had literally reviewed Itself out of existence by employing George McLaughlin as an expert," and by adopting his report it had committed hara-kiri." It had indeed been a board of revision, and an ooedlent Legislature revised it out of existence, hut the memory of Its one great work, sUil remains. u.

Whitney and Van Tassel, fellow convicts, were the mur derers of Mrs. Illnehaw. A prison guard kcame along to see that Baney did not seise the first opportunity to break his parole and disappear. Much mystery Is attached to th coming of Baney. The guard and the attorney surround the prisoner, cautioning him against TALK IN Q.

Mr. Hunt declined to say what was expected to be accomplished at this time, the mere Statement that they wanted Baney to aee certain persons here, and fhey also wanted him to -go over -t new route which he claims Whitney and Van Tartel 'took on the night of the murder. Baney seemed to greatly elated over his present notoriety, and as they traveled along the street he pointed out numerous place to Hunt with which he was familiar In the days of his liberty. The first place visited Is what Is known as the "Pepper District," after which the party disappeared as ir fwiuovto It Is surmised that they are going over, the route pursued by the alleged murderers between this city and Belleville, where the Hinshawa lived.

The local police were not called upon to assist In any possible developments, and It is Just aa well, as they are taking no- stock in Baney's statement. His reputation In criminal circles is that of a common liar and a notorious petty thief. He Is native talent, and was reared ia the street, so that hla whole life has been at enmity with authority.
