First Reading of the Ordinance ProNid-
ing for the Hospital and Its Manage
ment.
Below is given the salient points of the
ordinance which had its first reading in
council last night, entitled An Ordinance
relating to the Hospital and Board of Hos
pital Commissioners" The ordinance has
been carefully drawn by the city solicitor,
and will probably become law in almost
or quite its present form.
Section OF the ordinance reads as fol
lows:
Whereas, The trustees of water works
have consented that council may Use
for hospital purposes the grounds belonging
10 said city and known as the standpipe
grounds; be it ordained by the city council
of the city of Springfield, Ohio. that il be
ana is hereby determined TO erect a hos
pital on said grounds. the erection, fur
niShing, management, direction and con

said board, of which the mayor shall be-
eX-ofiicio president. the other members
shall be appointed by the mayor and con-
firmed by council, not more than two of
the appointed members To be of the same
political party. Section ) provides for
meetings of the board. Under section 1
the board is empowered to adopt suitable
plans and after approval by council to enter

BY the next section the board is given
entire management anu control Of the hos
pital when completed. As to furnishing es-
tablishing rules for government, regulating

report Of receipts ana disbursements.
Section authorizes the board Ito receive

such sources shall be under the exclusive
control of said board. Provided, however
! that If any one shall offer, as gift, to erect
| a building on Sc id grounds for the use OF

/ ell before the acceptance or said offer" The
closing section simply provides for the
| ordinance going into effect at the earlies

stepped into Grottendick's bakery, last
week. and while waiting for some one to

girls said to the other, II am losing my

unseen by the girls, replied, That's all
right" 1t was very embarrassing to the
girls, and they got as red in the face as fire,
but broke out laughing heartily, when they
discovered the poll parrot in one corner
looking down at them aS though he too en-
jOyed the joke.

The Board nf Equalization and J. ii
Thomas.

Thomas.
To the Editor of the Globe Republic.
As there has been so much said and
printed concerning the tax returns of John
ii. Thomas, feel it to be my duty to make
fair and full statement to the public Mr..
Thomas was reported to the board OF
equalization As not having made the proper
return. lie was accordingly called on and
interrogated. He claimed that he had made
an honest return, but mentioned the fact
that he had not listed some county bonds,
to the amount OF $4,000. He also stated
that he had recently made some heavy in
vestmentS. LIS reasons for not listing the
bonds were that they were not in his pos
session. having been put up As collateral
security for costs in law suits which he was
prosecuting in Texas and other states. If
he gained these suits they would
be returned, if he lost them they would
not. The board and the auditor took
the matter under adviSement and decided
that the bonds We're taxable and so notified
him. He accordingly had them added to
his return. No one doubts the truth of Mr..
Thomas, but if he made dishonest and
false return. he is responsible, not the
board.

The question of license or prohibi-
ton is waking up the people of Vir-
ginia, the issue being brought square
ly before them by the local option
law passed in the Legislature last
winter. A largely attended state
convention of prohibitionists has just
been held at Lynchburg to stiffen the
backbone of the brethren, and tenn
perance speakers are putting in their
work wherever they have a chance.
A number of towns and cities have
already voted on the question, the
larger places generally declaring for
and the smaller ones against license.
Richmond gave majority of 1851
for license Monday, the combined
vote of -, POI being almost as large
as that at the presidential election.
The negroes were almost unanimous
in their support of the "wet" ticket.
Prohibition is said to operate with
more OF less stringency in over liz
of the 1877 counties in Georgia.

The question is frequently rails

The question is frequently raised,
what is meant by the terms "demon-
etized" and "remonetized" in the
statement that was demonetized by
congress In 1878 and remonetized in
1873? Holders of silver bullion pri-
or to the act of 1878 could take it to
the mint and get dollars for it, and
with those dollars could have paid
debts, but were not foolish enough to
do anything of the sort, because the
dollars were worth more money to
export than to pay debts with. The act
of 1873 stopped the coinage and made
gold coin the legal tender and unit of
value, and so demonetlzed the silver
In law, as it had in fact been demon
etized for many years by the course
of the market. So the act of 1878
remonetized it in legal and technical
form, but not in fact; it required a
limited coinage and made these
coins legal tender, but at time
when the market price was so low
that no one wanted them in place of
gold. We have, therefore, at the
present time in theory two standards.
but in reality only one, since silver
circulates as the representative of 6
value it does not possess.-Irdveler

is low enough, but there is nothing
in the situation to make it lower I'M
less congress should decide to ruin
the wool growers by removing the
duties on foreign woods. Every
farmer should protest against free

The pedestal for Bartholdi's

The pedestal for Bartholdi's great
statue has now been completed.
The last piece of stone mas been put
in place, and the last of the large iron
girders to which the statue will be
fastened is ready for duty. When
completed, the statue will look even
grander at night than in the daytime,
as it's electric illumination will give
the figuer greater prominence. II is
proposed to place four large lights
at the base of the statue, one at each
corner of the pedestal, and power
full shaft light on the torch, so ar
ranged that it's beams will shoot high
into the heavens. The lights at the
base will be so placed as to illumi-
nate the statue into bold relief on the
darkest night. The light of the torch
will be 800 feet above water, and
should be visible for about twenty
five miles at sea.
