The Wolcott Commission Failure. McKinley has more than ills share of trouble these days. Tlie failure of Hie Wol cott commission was tlie first of a series of events that has brought home to him tho truth of the old adage which relates to tho unpleasant sensations that go witli tho wearing of a crown. It was confidently expected by the Col orado senator who conceived tlie. idea and by the. other prominent republicans Who thought it a foxy scheme, that the result of tho Wolcott-Stephenson-! ’nine junket would bo some equivocal reply from the government of Great Britain which could bo construed as favorable to bimetallic action some time In the future. That was the sort of political capital that tlie "com mission” was expected to bring back. When, however, it brought an answer so decisive as to bo the strongest possible Indorsement of the democratic contention that England's co-operation could never be obtained unless she wore driven to it in self-defense, all calculations hud been up set and the troubles had uegun for tho president and his party. Senators Chandler and Carter Talk. Tlie hope that republican bimetallists might be induced to let the bimetallism idea drop was promptly dispelled by tlie appearance of the strong letter of Senator Chandler warning his party that adherence to the gold standard would bring demo cratic victories in the congressional elec tions and that "a free coinage bill would in 1900 be signed by President Bryan.” That has been followed by similar declarations from high republican sources. Senator Car ter. of Montana, who was paraded as "one westerner who had faith in tlie old party” and all that, now- adds Ills views to tho disturbance of the party leaders. Senator Carter still clings to tho idea that tlmro may some way and somewhere lie a path for tho party out of tho woods by the bimetallism route, but lie warns his fellow republicans that "when It is ascertained that international bimetallism cannot bo secured. I should unquestionably favor, and upon a candid acknowledgment of tlie fact it would undoubtedly follow, that a general realignment upon tho financial question would occur throughout the country. And for that division, when it occurs, the sin gle gold standard men will not b ■ well pr pared.” Tne senator's pretense that the time for .that division has not yet come will hardly be Indorsed by tlie men whom lie and his associates fooled through international promises last year. His talk on that line Is like Wolcott's—a sort of sparring for wind, nothing more. Against a Bond Issue. But the .Montana senator does not con tent himself with these general references to possible contingencies, lie comes out squarely upon one of the subjects that is perplexing the men in power; he is against tho retirement of the greenbacks, and says so. "It can bo stated emphatic ally.” said ho, "that ti'i alleged reform can slice. ■. <1 in passing congress which proposes to contract tlie currency or which provides for tin' is suance of bonds. The exchange of gre. n baciis for interest bearing binds would in volve tlie. contraction of the currency to the extent of the outstanding greenbacks thus retired. I .am well satisfied that tlie temper of tlie country and tin judgment of congress will be adverse to such action." Almost coincident with tin- appearance of this interview with Senator Carter comes an authorized sta mnent of the work that is being done by this self-appointed in .notary commission wiime mission is to v.'i'ce the sentiments of tii.* 11. If. Hanna business null and to add to the troubles of the republican party. This st.-.!'nmnl is evidently put out as a f iler, but :t reveals one feature of the commission's work that will attract wide attention to say tlie least of it. Will Recommend Gold Bonds. The commission is going to recommend tho Issuance of gold bonds. This is, of course, a part and parcel, and a meessary one, of th. m iln plank In the platform of these Indianapolis peo ple- the retirement of the greenbacks and adherence to the gold standard. There net er lias been any doubt as to the gen eral trend of th? reconnm-nda'ions of tin, commission, but that it would have tlie t< rm rity to call for gold bonds in the face of the overwhelming sentiment of tho coun try against such bonds proves that tlie commission is all that tlie republicans here are calling it. Which Is—well, everything that wouldn't look well in print, if you have a desire to he ir billingsgate more choice and more va orous than < v. r fell from the month of tlie original fish-wife, all you have to <io is to mention this "commissi >n” n the I.ear ing of a republican senator or congress man. When this body of mugwump financiers first appeared upon tlie mmie there was a disposition to ji-iss them by lightly with a laugh. Nobody then took them seriously put themsei ves. Th<-y were. ■■: eou rse, weighted down with their own importance, but republicans as well as 1.-mocrats were inclined to treat them as nothing more than necessary evils who could do no lairm. Now it is different. The rejiubltcans see that they are to lie held responsible for tile acts of the commissi..n and : iie.v are by no means jileased at the prospect. Hence their curses. Displeased with the President. And it happens most n.itur.i'iy that tlnso curses are not hurled seb-v at mcm.'.- is of the commission. Some of them at., timed at President McKinley, who is tightly charged with having, by his re • >mm< rda tlon for the creation of such a commission, given a qua.sl-indorsement to this one. Tlie president resents this and points to tlie fact tliat he had no h in I in tlie appoint ment of these nartiT.il.ir g-mtlenieti; but th it his ni ; sage sent to con t’. s In the closing hours of last s-ssion was In; 'tided to give a sort of Ind >r m■ it to this ] i.r tul.ir commission is und cib 1 ■ diy tine and for tliat reason It Is perfectly it nn.de to saddle the responsibility for Its actions upon the administration. His own people are doing it. Th< re are manv members of tlie senate and house who are blaming the president for wiiat they consider a political mistake and ate in a posit.on to do this because they warn <.l !i Hl against tlie dangers "f this very thing. A Play to the South. According to the statement of the press agent of the commission, 'her;. Is io be a recommendation for gold bonds, but it Is honed to teni’ier the opposition to such an issue by some other provisions. We are told that "the new currency project will embody advantages to the south which will make a provision for gold bonds a merely subsidiary feature.” How this is to be done Is explained this way: “A gr it trurs of public opinion exists In the south in favor of in elastic banking currency, and tills opinion wiil Im brought to bear in a man ner which will at least temper the opposi- TITE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, GA., NOVEMBER 22, 1897. tion of southern senators 'f it does not bring them to the vigorous support of the new project.” After formulating their measure, this commission will wash its hands cf the whole matter, leaving to the H. 11. Hanna executive committee the onus of getting It through congress. Mr. Hanna’s commit tee proposes an active campaign of educa tion in behalf of the measure and the con centration of tile bushi’ss sentiment in its support. They figure on getting a majority of tlie senate from the forty-three republic ans, three gold democrats and, as they put it, eight “sound money democrats who supported Mr. Bryan because he was Hie party nominee." They figure on tlie loss of some of the silver senators who, i'ke Carter and Chandler, supported McKinley, but think they can spare these votes. That count indicates tliat ,-omo cf the unpleasant things tlie republicans are say ing are true—the suggestion iliat Hie mem bers of tlie commission and the committee which created It are "mugwump ra nbow chasers” for ‘nstance. How It All Strikes McKinley. Witli Chandler’s words of warn.ng ring ing in one ear and the c imnii-.-don s talk of gold bonds Jangling m at tne other, with one set of advisers malting extreme t<ccm mendation on one line .and another joint ing out the certainty of party defeat and repudiation if he follows those ucommend atfons, tlie man in the white house :s not spending many pleasant evenings. No won der ho makes slow progress on his mes- What tliat document will contain is os yet a mystery, because tlie man who is to write it does not himself know what he will put in ft. But it is not at all likely that ho will recommend definite action of any sort. The man who possess 'S the skill at saying nothing that was shown In those doormat sin? .'lies during the l ist cam paign can be relied upon to find some way to cover up the predicament of the repub lican party In this particular emergoney. Another supreme effort will lie ncide to fool tlie people into tlie belief tliat some thing may yet come of flic international bimetallism scheme, without seriously of fending tho interests that are now . ailing for explicit declarations for “currency re form.” Democrats Are Happy. While th" republicans arc in trouble over the situation, there is no such feeling to be found where democrats or their allies, tlie silver republicans, congregate. The outlook from Hie standpoint of the genuine friends of silver is certainly all that could be asked. The silver repub licans are especially jubilant over the result of the Wolcott mission abroad, tills ng It as a. strong indorsement of tlie w:sdom of the position th.-y took in i'.e lasi cam paign. < Ini' of tlie most active end most vigorous of the representatives of tb s party, which is small in numbers but in influence, is Representative Hartman, of Montana, who ts at present in the city. He is tlie lead! r of the silver jepuijli. ans of tlie house and while not pron . Io indis criminate talk, when he Joes talk it is be cause he lias same.hing p> say. He was ig the re tent In'.'t views of Senator ''handler anl Sen itor Carter and their bearing upon the s.fin'Jtn. "What they now say and wiiat tlie Wol cott commission demons' ra.

Tlie fact of Hie I'ompli te fig ure of Hie three previous conferences, be cause of the refusal of Great Britain to consent to an agreement, ought tn itself to be sufllcient proof of the improbability of the achievement of International < o-op eration.
