the Government can impart the same sort

In what sense does the Dispatch use

has forced the Government TO exchange
every gold dollar 1t can get hold of, and.
when the Government can get no more
gold dollars to exchange, the silver dol

position OF a piece Of metal worth only
sixty-five cents. The value which the
Government will have impaired to the
silver dollar will only last so long as It

treaties were uniting the natives Of the
earth into one great brotherhood but at
the same time an eager rivalry existed be-
tween them for power and authority The
two great nations. the United States and
Great Britain, were watching one another
like hawks. for, though knit together by
the ties of common language and in
creasing civilization, they were divided
by tremendous and dangerous rivalry.
The contest was for power for dominion;
and for once the Eagle got the best of

We have heard enough-aliunda-to sat
iSfy us that In the unfortunate contro-
Nersy about the use OF the Armorv for
the Bazaar the officers of the First regi-
ment have a side to their case which has
not been brought out fully. We are
assured that the opposition Of the officers
to the surrender of the Armory is due TO
no lack of sympathy with the objects Of
the Bazaar or Of chivalrous respect for

officers and the ladies will settle the nat
ter In a way which will rebound to the
