A Cabinet eeti at Washingtonwas largely devoted to a discussionof the question of coinage for thePhilippine Islands and as a resultit is probable that the Secretary ofWar will request a hearing on the
omznittees ¬
business of the islands is transact ¬
ed in Mexican dollars and armycommissaries and others suppliedwith United States money are attimes greatly embarrassed in mak¬
ing purchases from the Filippinosby the fact that knowing nothingof our money or its value the lat¬
ter often refuse to accept it Theproposition which seems to havemet with favor by the Administra ¬
tion is to purchase silver bullionat the present market price andcoin it into distinctive dollarshaving a gold value of about fiftycents each These dollars proba¬
bly will contain a little less silverthan the present standard dollarsThe scheme has not yet been work ¬
ed out in all of its details but asthere is at present a Governmentcoinage mint in Manila it is hop¬
ed that by the early action of Con ¬
gress the new coins may be put in ¬
to circulation before a great whilepossibly before the winter is over

gressional Committee and knewall about campaign contributionsand promises has succeded Dolliver of Iowa who has gone to theSenate as a member of the Waysand Means Committee and hastold the Republican membersa few things as Mr Hanna has al¬
so done Now it is no longer aquestion of whether there will bea reduction of the beer tax but ofhow small a reduction the brew ¬
ers can be cajoled into acceptingThe bill as reported from the Waysand Means Committee makes a re ¬
duction of 40 cents a barrol in thebeer tax but it not yet certainthat the brews will accept that
Students of human nature asexhibited in the political worldare trying to reconcile Mr Mc
Kinleys words with his acts Inthe closing paragraph of his mes ¬
sage were words which read like apatriotic warning to Congress notto be led into making extravagantappropriations just because therewas a lot of money in the Treasu-
ry¬
and now Mr McKinley is usingall his power to drive objectingRepublican Senators into the sup ¬
port of one of the most extrava ¬
gant appropriations ever before
