Denver News Neither let II be forgotten
that whipping Chilli is not likely to prove a

THE Fifth Ward Taxpayers club oh
iects to the proposed sale and lease Of
the Board of Trade building. What
have the taxpayers of the Fifth ward to
do with the Board of Trade building?
Why didn't they protest against the sale
and lease of the Willard hotel. They
had just as much right to object to the
transfer of the hotel property as they
have to any other property in which
they have nc share, and for which they
are not taxed. We do not contend that
the proposed sale of the Board of Trade
building is or is not proper. 1t is purely
II question for the members of the board
who are shareholders in the building to
determine, A sale and leasing back will
not put the Chamber OF Commerce on
wheels, and that is all that any outside
taxpayer could possibly be interested in.

This Indian SghoSL dance out west has it's

riors, like theiF red brethren, are dancing
around the floor Of the house of representa-
tives, presenting petitions. introducing bills,
Offering resolutions, mixing eloquent
harangpes about the coming OF a democratic
messiah who is to drive the wicked repub-
licau party, which has ruined the country,
into the political wilderness. Like the In.
dlans on the Cherokee strip, the majority of
them have been at one time or other az war
with tue government and are now romfortG.
bly, wrapped up in the soft blauHets Of Uncle
Sam. The democratic messiah is AS vague
aud shadow as the Indian one. But, ia the
meantime, tho two ghost dancing parties are

rotary OF theItrqasury for an explana-
tion OF his course regarding the ~ per
cent bonds, n part of which we're con-
tinuod ut a reduced rate OF interest.
The secretary is asked whether thore
was sufficient money in the treasury to
pay the bonds when due, and, II so,-upon
what authority he continued any OF
them. Secret8ry Foster repeatedly
stated that he could pay the bonds and
he fully explained in his annual paper
why he did not do Sc. 1t was to avoid n
serious disturbance of the finances of
the country Mt u time when its resources
arc severely taxed by the moveme MT OF
agricultural products. In the desire to
avoid monetary disturbance during this
critical period, says the secretary in his
report, and in the hope that the volume
|'of money in circulation might be in
creased at an opportune time, through
the cooperation of the banks, the hold
ers of the bonds were offered their
choice OF presenting them for redemp-
ton or for continuance at the pleasure
of the government at a less rate of in
terest. This was manifestly justified by
tho financial conditions then existing,
and the authority for it is in the terms
of the act under which the bonds wero
issued. 1t also had the support of pre-
cedent, Secretary Window having in
1881 continued the 5 per cent bonds
without any question as to the legality
of his action. IL is not to be doubted
that Secretary Foster will give the
house the information it asks for with
entire satisfaction to the country, If not
to the majority of that body.

MR.. MILLS IN THE RiNkS

Congressman Roger q. Mills has done
what he was expected to do. He mas
notified the speaker of the house that
he will not serve as chairman OF the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce.. This is one of the best com
mittees of the house, atfording opportu .
nifty for useful inc creditable work to u
man of moderate ambition. But Mr..
Mills has boon chairman of the Leading
committee of the house, tn 1T Of ways
and means, and having declined the
second place on that committee in this
congress it was obviously unreasonable
to suppose that he would accept a posi-
tion deemed to be inferior. The speaker
doubtless did the best he could in the
circumstances to give the Texas states
man prominence among the committee
chairmanships, but his effort is not APP
preciated. MIR. Mills prefers to be in
the ranks, where he will be under no
obligations to Speaker Crisp and his
immediate 'iell5 and cln max e mat
ters as interesting for them as oppOrtu-
nifty and his peculiar temperament may
suggest.
Mr.. Mills resigned his charm ,nship
after due deliberation, and taken in con-
nection with his recent utterances the
action mo be regarded as having no
significance. He has very recently in
dictated that he is not in favor of giving
the country tariff revision in Install
ments, as Mr., Springer proposes shall
l-l-.z IL L-l,@,a, - % 10 10 LA,
of the democrats in the house to make "A
general revision Of the tariff, regardless
of the question whether IL me Isure of
this kind would pass the senate. Mr..
Mills does not think it good policy for
the democracy to temporize or employ
IDENTIFY intends not to be IL party to such
Il policy. 1t is therefore to be presumed
that when the proper time IN Mr..
Mills will declare himself in this matter
in no uncertain terms, and it is not IN.
likely in that event that he will be
found to have a pretty strong following.
There is another matter regarding
which Mr., Mills Is not in sympathy with
the dominant element of his party in the
house. He thinks the democracy should
for the present drop the question of the
free coinage Of silver, while the coin
age committee is already practically COM
mitted in favorof reporting a free coinage
measure. On this subject it is to be ex-
pected that Mr.. Mills will also have
something positive 20 say at the right
time.
In short, the Texas congressman has
a policy of his own which he does not
intend to surrender without a contest,
and his best vantage ground for making
be handicapped as the recipient Of any
consideration from the element that
comprised his defeat for the speaker
ship.

The senator Pushing His Case Against tho
Pittsburg Post.
PiTTsBuRG, Pa, Jon. 2I.-In the Quay-Post
libel suit today, after two or three unimrort-
ant witnesses had been examined, the clerk
of the Philadelphia courts was called aud
presented the original records of the Bards-
ley case. Senator Quay then took the stand,
and said he was not personally acquainted
with John Bardsley and never had any bust
his Nuay's) public capacity as
state treasurer. There was not "a word
OF truth IN tho article in the Post. These
answers were made to questions propounded
by the plaintiffs counsel and attorney.
McCook~o objected to the witness being led.
Quay was then turned over to him for cross
examination, In the course Of the examin-
alton the witness denied that he received
from Bardsley Ss,SS7 and never had any
dealings with him, but acknowledged re-
ceiving a certificate Of deposit from
David Martin. Quay also denied
that he endorsed three notes for
$50, 900 indorsed by j. o. Brown ana William
Flynn aud cashed by Bardsley in the Key
stone bank.
Ex-Collector David Martin Of Philaael-
related to the Quay and Bardsloy certificate
and did not materially differ from that given
in the Beaver trial.
Senator Porter, Chairman Andrews of tho
repu blican state committee, and John q,
Dcvine, formerly probate note clerk OF the
keystone bank, also repeated their testimony
as gwen in the Star suit. The prosecution
here rested, and Attorney McCook addressed
the jury for the defense.
