{A Great Gold Reserve. ‘
To-morrow, 'when President-elect
Mc-Kinley drops the qualificative and
becomes full -President, he will start
under the most auspicious conditions
possible. He will enter upon what
promises to be the most prosperous
Administration in the latter part of the
century, with a. gold reserve of 8150,-
000,000, and with little to do at the out-
set but summon Congress to pass a tariif
law that will bring the revenue up to
the needs of the Government.
As this is a subject with which he is
familiar to the last detail, and as the
outlines of the new bill are already
drawn, there is positively no obstacle
in sight to a restoration of good times.
Everything Regular.
It was expected that the committee
appointed by the Vice—President that
has made an investigation into the
grant of 23,000 acres of Florida land to
the relatives of Mrs. Cleveland would
sustain the same. This the committee
has done with great promptitude. In
its report the committee places particu-
lar stress upon the fact that “the grant
was issued in the regular course of
business” and therefore must be highly
. proper. This “regular course of busi-
ness” covers a multitude of rascalities,
though probably not in this case. The
.adroit swindler never fails to apply it
to his operations when he can do so.
It lessens the danger of detection and
divides the reSponsibility with others.
No crook would blow open the safe of a
bank with dynamite if he could reach
the contents undetected “in the regu-
lar course of business.” The Perrine
claim to this snug little empire in
Florida may be a just one, and we hope
that it is. In any event. the process by
which it is allowed by the Cleveland
Administration is lentirely regular.
And this regularity is only heightened

THE TRANSVAAL RAID.
Cecil Rhodes Examined by Henry Lab”.
chore, Editor of Truth.
LONDON, March 3.——The inquiry of the
parliamentary committee into the Trans-
vaal raid was resumed todayin Westmin-
ster hall. Colonel Cecil Rhodes was again
questioned by Henry Labouohere.
witness reiterated that he was prepared
again to assist in a raid and revolution in
the Transvaal; but, he added, the next
time he would do so legally. ‘
Questioned in regard to a. certain speech
made by the secretary of state for the eel-
onies, Joseph Chamberlain, in the house
of commons, Colonel Rhodes replied that
he had not read it. He continued: “But I
always read Mr. Labouchere’s speeches,
because he is so attentive to my career.
And I always read Truth in order to dis-
cover my faults.”
Colonel Rhodes was then asked why he
had not accepted the responsibility of com-
ing to Dr. J emeson’s assistance during
the latter’s trial, and he replied that his
appearance would not have benefited
Jameson, because he would have been
obliged to say that he did not authorize
the raid, adding: “I think it most unfor-
tunate that the Cape parliament’s report
on the raid was published. It I had been
a juryman, I would have said that the
man behind Jameson was the real author
of the raid, and I would have dealt lenient-
ly with Jameson. I sent a telegram say-
ing that if I could save Jameson a day’s
imprisonment by coming home I would
do so. ” -
Later Mr. Labouchere propounded a
financial question, to which Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach objected, as outside of the
scope of the inquiry, whereupon Mr. La.-
bouchere called for a division on the pro
posal to discuss it. Sir Michael Hicks.
Beach again objected to a. public discus-
sion of this feature of the inquiry. Mr.
Labouchere protested against there being
any secrecy about the inquiry, but finally
the room was cleared.
On the examination being resumed pub-
licly Colonel Rhodes was again questioned
on the financial features of the raid. He
said that he held from 40,000 to 50,000
shares of the British Chartered South
Africa. company. He did not think the
success of the raid had increased the value
of these shares in any Way. That was not
one of his objects in promoting the revo~
lution. '
John C. Bighaiii, Q. 0., next examined
Colonel Rhodes, the , latter first apologiz-
ing to Mr. Labouchere for turning his
back upon him.
Against the Action of the Volksraad.
JOHANNESBURG, March 3.—At today’s
session of the high court of the South
African Republic the chief just-ice read a
statement of the court signed by all the
judges, expressing their regret at the ac-
tion of the volksraad in placing the court
virtually under its control, characterizing
this action as a gross encroachment upon
the independnce of the tribunal, and final-
ly declaring the court adjourned until
June to await the voice of the people of
the republic. The adjournment will cause
the greatest inconvenience to the public.
Experience is the-Only TrueiTest,
F. A. Turner, of the State Insurance Of"
fice, Salem, Ore., says: “Out of the scores of
cough medicines in the market there is only
one I have any confidence in and that is
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I make this
statement after an experience of twelve
‘ yeaiS’ use of this valuable remedy. For coughs
and colds it is splendid, but Where its work .
is infallible is with children subject to croup.
I keep it in my home at all times.” For sale
