the
'
desire of an expiring congress to
mend a shattered reputation.
Currency legislation is needed,
to be sure, but action on that sub¬
ject can well be delayed until a
satisfactory plan for a permanent
currency system can be agreed on.
The country wants no more
emergency or makeshift legislation
on the subject. The financial sys¬
tem should be revised scientifically,
to endure for a long time to come.
There is one matter, however,
that is pressing and that is being
delayed by the currency agitation.
It is the need for revenue. Con¬
gress could do much to restore pub¬
lic confidence by arranging at once
to make the income of the govern¬
ment equal its expenditures. It is
safe to say there would not be such
a great shrinkage of the gold re¬
serve if there were no lack of
revenue.
The currency question is impor¬
tant and perplexing. The people
have not yet had time to consider
the plans proposed. They are sus¬
picious that their congressmen are
not much better qualified than
themselves to pass on the merits of
measures suggested. This being
the case, the sentiment is growing
rapidly in favor of the appoint¬
ment of a commission to make a
thorough investigation before legis¬
lation is attempted.
David and Grover.
Some weeks ago, when Mr.
David B. Hill’s followers were
plaintively beseeching Mr. Grover
Cleveland to come over from Buz¬
zard’s Bay and help their candi¬
date, Mr, Grover Cleveland strode
by without a word. He didn’t
take the trouble to vote. If
the American public felt sure
that the long enmity between the
two statesmen was fixed and sealed
for all time it was after the No¬
vember elections. It was sup¬
posed that the senator from New
York was in the habit of crossing
the street when compelled to pass
in the neighborhood of
the occupant of the white house.
And in the face of this belief and
all the probabilities comes the in¬
formation that Senator Hill and
the presideht have actually been
eating off the same board and,
inferentially, indulging in friendly
Etiquette at Wash¬
ington dinners where ladies are
present forbids the host to throw
things at hia guests and no guest
would be permitted to kick his
boat’s shins under the table.
From what it knows and what it
can thus infer the public is com¬
pelled to believe that a peace has
been declared. But how V^ame
about and what it is all for is s se¬
cret. The one thing certain is that
if Senator Hill has really learned
to forgive and make up he will be
a highly useful man to further the
administration’s present plans in
the senate.
Oov. Altgeld the Warpath.
Gov. Atgeld has been in Chicago
for a brief interview with the mayor
and has fled away again to Spring
field. In the seasons assigned for
these hasty movements the public
find fresh cause to watch the
forthcoming message

Altgeld’t purpose in his visit

with facts concerning the great

defeat of Tammany Hall, and again,
by permitting him to cooperate in
the inVestfgs-t-ion. Speaking as the
representative of the Society for
the Prevention of Crime, Dr Park
hurst says that that body has felt
all along the final aim and object
of its three years’ crusade was the
capture of Superintendent Brynes
with the iniquities of police, cor¬
ruption upon his head. When the
Lexow committee bravely raked
the inside history of the rest of the
police department it flinched at
Brynes, of whom Dr. Parkhurst
says with some heat:
* “Now the presumption is on the
side of the superintendent’s being
as criminal as any other member of
the force, so that the hesitancy to
handle him as Wiliams was hand¬
led could not proceed from any
prior conviction of his innocence.
Wherever they have.stuck in the
fork they have found rot, and
whether Brynes be rot or not he
has beert (ias in cpt thirty-one years,
and been the executive head of
rot, for the last two years. The
presumption, therefore, was
him, so that the indisposition to
handle him thoroughly must have
been grounded in some other con¬
sideration than that of his presuma¬
ble innocence. * * * Men with as
much influence as Mr. Brynes, who
have been in the midst of iniquity
clear up to their cars for thirty
years, can fight iniquity if they
wanttto, and if they are clean they
will want to.”
This arraignment of the Lexow
committee by the man who has
been in guiding light and inspira¬
tion is the first intimation of a
weakness in the body which has
undertaken to reform the munici¬
pality of New York. Dr. Purk
hurst may be needlessly pessimistic.
It is certain that the Lexow com¬
mittee has accomplished great mas
ures looking at the advance of
reform. But if he is right about
Byrnes, New York has some more
clearing up to do.
The Dress-Suit Problem.
It appears that a Washington
citizen who desired to show in a
formal way his respect for the pres¬
ident of the United States attended
the white house reception wearing
a dress-suit in the broad light of
day. The sensation he created
among the people of the capital is
nothing to the discussion aroused
elsewhere. The excitement has
_
taken form ofn debate over the
question,' “Shall a Man Wear a
Dress-Suit in the Daytime?” and
the controversy threatens to become
alarmingly heated.
In Boston, where the custom of
wearing a dress-suit with a pale
pink embroidered scarf still obtains,
it is believed that this vexing ques¬
tion should be decided by strict
court rule, as in Europe. Proba¬
bly the rules would better be left
to a joint committee of the house
and senate, but a few suggestions
might be thrown out. Let detec¬
tives be stationed at the white
house portals with strict instruct¬
ions to watch for the insidious at¬
tempt of people to sneak in when
dressed in violation of the rules.
These rules should be rigorous.
man should be allowed to enter
when attired in a dress-suit.
Congressmen from New Jersey
bring certificates proving
that their suits are their own and
rented. No Chicago member
the next congress should be per
mitted to wear a kohinoor of more
than one inch diameter or have
more than three such gems in his
shirt front. Nor will he beallowd
to wear a watch-chain weif k
