A Dlank Is lett IN the statement Tor the
filing out of an appropriation for the
building Of a new station house in Green
vile. The financiers will be asked to ap-
propriate such sum for this purpose as
they may deem proper.
The charter OF 1871 gives the Board
power TO increase the police force 10 per
cent per year. The commissioners deem
a larger force of policemen necessary to
the protection OF citizens and their prop
erty. 1t was resolved to ask the Finance
Board to provide IN the next tax levy for
an appropriation of $4,000 to cover the
expenses of employing ten extra police
men. This the Commissioners believe
will be sufficient when the patrol system
Is applied. They say the patrol Isystem is
essentially necessary and sholld be sup
piled as soon as possible.
Five thousand dollars Of the amount
asked for by the Committee ON Hospitals
and Dispensaries, II the full amount,
S25. coo, is appropriated, Will be expended
In the erection OF a new annex building
10 the City Hospital, TO accommodate in
creasing demands.

The diversity of opinion developed
regarding coinage in the bankers con-
ventiou which closed its session at New
Orleans Thursday cannot fail to evoke
the attention of the thoughtful student
of finance but is worthy the considera-
ton of every farmer, mechanic, mer-
chant and politician in the country as
well. The impression has prevailed
and it must be acknowledged it has had
good reason for its prevalence-dring
the past several years, particularly
among the agricultural populations Of
the West and South, that the class OF
men constituting that convention we're
a unit in favor of monometalism-in
continuing to perpetuate the stringency
OF money entaiIlng hardship On the
masses and putting wealth in the
pocket of the few-in raising the stan
dard OF gold and depreciating that OF
silver.
1t is encouraging to read in the re-
port Of that convention that a respecta-
bic if not a considerable number of the
intelligent bankers whose deliberations
have just been brought to a close in the
Crescent city, have gone to the fullest
length in the matter of increasing the
volume of currency that the most en-
thusiastiC advocate OF free silver coin
age could wish. Chief among this class
of financiers is Mr.. w. 2. st. John of
New York a leading money-lender OF
Wall street and controller Of large
financial movements in the state in
which ex-President Cleveland wrote
his celebrated anti-silver letter.
His paper read before the convention
is q strong refutation OF the hackneyed
arguments OF the gold-bugs, and an
exposure .of their pet sophisms.
Whether the exigencies of party sue
cess may require the omission of tree
silver plank from the platform which
the next national Democratic conven-
ton shall formulate or not, Mr.. st.
Johns denial OF Republican statements
that the recent elections have sounded
the death knell OF free-silver coinage
will receive hearty "amen" from
thousands of loyal and true Democrats
all over the Union.
Maybe the silver question sleepeth,
but it is not dead. 1t lacks several

MaSIISEss IN POLITICS.

The prompt and explicit denial by
Hon. Roger Q. Mills OF the slanderous
statement originated by the correspon-
dent of paper interested in compass
ing his defeat for the speakership has
materially strengthened his canvass. 1t
has afforded many congressman, who
might hitherto have regarded the con-
test between the several aspirants for
the place in spirit of lukewarmness,
a glimpse of the manliness OF character
displayed by the distinguished Texan
in declaring that he does not intend to
90 button-holing around the lobbies OF
the capitol exacting private pledges
from members to support him, like a
beat constable electioneering for votes,
but that he will rise or fall by the re-
cord he has made during his many
years, of public service in fighting the
battles of the Democracy both inside
and outside of congress. Manliness
and straig htforwardneS in action are
rare qualities among politicians seek
ing Office, and are therefore all the
more admired by mankind in general.
It would seem that it remained for the
Lion of JUDAH as the lamented
Henry Grady once called Col. Mills, to
prove that it is possible to be at. one
and the same time manly man and
successful in politics.

inadvertence or remissness OF theirs in

suffer detriment or damage. OF that

coRN-BREAD AGAINST BISCUITS.

The National Farmers meeting, re-
Gently in session at Sedalia, Mo, adop-
ted q resolution urging congress
to make an appropriation OF money to
push the work of introducing our In
dian corn in Europe as food. Ameri-
can ministers and consuls are now try
ing to get the European bread-consum-
ers to eat corn-bread, but it is hard
running against their prejudices.
Wheaton bread is the choice, but rye
bread and even cat bread are very
largely used because they are cheap.
Corn-bread would be still cheaper, if
they would consent to eat it. The
millions Of bread-eaters, if they would
learn to like our corn-bread, would
make good customers and greatly in
crease the demand for our corn and
raise the price.
That is one view OF the matter, and
correct one, as far as it goes. But
there is another side. II these people
learn to like corn-bread, and it has the
great advantage over wheat bread of
costing only half as much, won't they
quit using our wheat? They will prob
ably use great deal more corn than
they could afford to use wheat, because
it is cheaper, but the returns to our
farmers will not be any larger. The
introducing of corn-bread in Europe
looks like establishing a market for
our corn at the expense OF our wheat
