Walked Him Up TO PLAY.

A wellknown sporting man recently told
the following story to Pittsburg Dispatch
writer: Half a dozen of US were playing a
stir game. just then well-known colonel
| happened into the room. Though he was
somewhat the worst for drink, he insisted on
taking a hand. A hundred dollars worth of
chips were handed out to him and the game
recommended. Only few hands had been
dealt when the colonels head sank softly down
on his chest His eyelids closed. He was fast
asleep. On the next banda jack-pot-one of
the players opened on an ace-f1uSh. No one
came in, and he was about to rake in the
stakes, when he noticed that the colonel had
not yet had his say. He reached across the
table and gave the sleeping warrior dig in
the ribs.
Wake upl" he cried. Wake up and play
your hand
''Whas ma'r?' said the colonel YEARLY.
Pots opened for s.. Everybody else Is
out. Is it my pot?'
THE colonel reused up picked IN his hand
in lumbled careless fashion and sleepily
slid $40 in the pot.
% It's only S. to come in said the other,
with the jubilant light of hope in his eyes.
20, s. is it? Well, nev'r mind, let 'er go
at that. RaiSel'
Then the gentleman with the flush raised
again. So did the colonel. Finally every
dollar before each had gone to swell a prodig-
lOusly big pot The boys hated to see the col
onel betting away in his maudlin way They
pitied him. They knew he was throwing his
money away
-" How many cards3 said the dealer.
Ihump thump, the fists of the two men hit
the table. Both were pat. It was a show
down, then. The drowsy colonel spread out
upon the table queen-full The boys showed
him the pot. He was too drunk TO reach for
1t. The laugh was on the other PLAYER He
says it is the first time he ever awakened a
man to make him play his hand, and he
swears it will be the last"

The Administrators Programme.


A dispatch recently published in the st.
! Louis Republic, and treated by that
paper as authoritative, contains the state
ment that the President will recommend
in his message to congress an income tax,
the repeal of the Sherman silver pur-
chase act and the repeal of the 10 per
cent tax on circulating notes of state
banks It is quite certain that there is
nothing authoritative in the dispatch. 1t
is probable that the President will recon-
mend the repeal of the tax on state bank
issues and also the repeal of the Sherman
silver purchase act. The national demo-
cratic platform favors the repeal of both,
and it is well known that the President
is extremely anxious that the Sherman
act shall be repealed. The income tax,
however, is quite another matter As far
known, the President has not expressed
an opinion in respect to it.
It is not improbable that the President
will favor an income tax 1t is known
that the question Of authorizing such a
tax has been presented to him and he has
listened to senators and representa-
tives who favor it. He has not said, how
ever, that he would recommend it, nor
has he intimated, as far as known, that
he agrees with those who favor it.
1t has not yet become evident that adj
ditional sources of revenue are necessary.
Until it is shown that the present
sources are not sufficient to provide
means for the administration of the gov
eminent the question of levying an in
come tax will not even be considered.
An income tax is not a popular one for
a number of reasons and will not be re-
sorted to unless it becomes necessary to
do so. 1t is a tax, however, that affects
only those who are able to pay it, and
that is one argument in its favor. But it
can be safely stated that the administra-
ton has not yet reached a conclusion in
respect to it,

AGAINST Free silver coinage.

There is no doubt that bankers and
! business men of the south are opposed to
/ the free coinage of silver at the present
ratio. and that they favor the repeal Of
I the Sherman silver purchase act. They
arc supposed TO have studied the silver
question thoroughly, and their views are,
therefore. entitled to very careful con
sideration.
There is a strong sentiment in the south
in favor of the free coinage of silver, not
because there is desire for silver cur
rency, but because of the belief that it
would make money more plentiful and
cheaper. If, however, a way were opened
for increasing the amount of the currency
the sentiment in favor of free silver coin
age would lose whatever strength it has.
The bankers of Texas, at their recent
meeting in San Antonio, adopted resolu-
tions showing how they stand in respect
10 silver. There were about fifty banks
and banking houses represented. Nearly
hree-fourths were national banks. The
others were private banking houses. One
resolution that was adopted declares that
the Sherman silver purchase act should
be repealed. and another is a strong eX-
preston against the free coinage of silver.
How far these resolutions represent the
views of the people of Texas cannot be
stated with any degree of certainty. They
certainly represent the views of the bust
ness men of the state. 1t is probable
that it would not be a difficult matter to
convince the majority of the people that
the resolutions are wise ones.
The bankers also passed a resolution
favoring the removal of the 10 per cent.
tax on state bank circulation, but they
declared they were against permitting
state banks to issue notes. Their idea is
apparently to permit notes to- be issued
only by federal authority, the purpose,
being to avoid paper currency that might
not at all times pass at it's face value.
The feeling against the free coinage of
silver and against the silver purchase act
is growing stronger. Congressman realize
this, and hence there is a growing belief
that the silver purchase act will be re-
pealed soon after congress meets.

Mrs. sherman,s Story.

Senator Sherman's wife recently told a
good story, says Kate Fields Washington.
Mrs. Sherman invariably goes to market sew
eral times a week. So do other sena tors'
wives, and sometimes great statesman goes
along just for amusement or from a sense of
duty. Mrs. Sherman had watched Senator
Henderson of Nebraska escorting his wife
through the market, even occasionally Juggling
the provision basket. Mrs. Sherman thought
her husband might show her the same atten-
ton. and quoted Mr.. Henderson to him till in
simple despair Mr.. Sherman consented to he
annexed on market day.
He went the whole rope and even carried
the basket but Mrs. Sherman has never
mentioned market" to him since. He lost
the basket and she lost him for a time and
when the great financier was safe in his own
home he announced in big type that Senator
Henderson and all the rest of both houses
might go to market every day of their lives
but as for him, John sherman, as long as he
possessed his mental faculties, he would never
be persuaded into going again.

DISCIPLINE in the Navy.

Officers of the navy are getting the i'm
preston that the orders of the Secretary
of the Navy are to be obeyed. 1t is alleged
that they have heretofore had their own
way in pretty much everything, manly
for the reason that the head of the navy
department under the different admins
trations knew very little about the practi-
cal workings of the navy. 1t doesn't fol-
low, of course, that because he was not
familiar with war vessels and 'the duties
of naval officers, he was not good Secre-
tary of the Navy. Mr. Whit
ney, for instance, was a
frst-class Secretary of the Navy, and did
much to increase its efficiency, but it is
alleged that even he was not able to have
his orders to naval officers carried out in
all cases. The officers managed in some
way to avoid distasteful services and to
get assigned to posts they coveted.
1t looks as if Secretary Herbert had
taken hold of the navy with strong hand
and meant to be obeyed. He has made
the navy a study and knows more about
the difficulties of enforcing discipline in
the service than any one of his pre-
decessors.
It may be that the excuse given by
Commander Higginson in not starting
with the cruiser Atlanta for Greytown as
soon as he was ordered is good one, but
there is an impression that he was OPP
posed TO making the trip, and that he de-
layed starting as soon as the order to do
so was received because he hoped that it
might be countermanded. However. he
will have a chance to show whether
it was a good one or not, as a court
martial has been called TO hear what he
has to say in his own defense.
The reason given for assigning Admirals
Gherardi and Walker to shore duty is
that they have had quite an experience at
sea, and that it is good policy to give
younger officers a chance. The popular
impression is that there is not a kindly
feeling between these two officers, and
that much of the difficulty in preserving
discipline in the navy has been due to
their jealousy of each other Admiral
Gherardi is the ranking officer, and it is
thought that Admiral Walker thinks he
himself is the ablest one.
Secretary Herbert evidently means tc
be the head OF the navy department in
fact as well as in name While
he is secretary officers will have
to obey orders promptly When Inc
orders an officer on sea duty he will bC
obeyed or know the reason why. New
port and Bar Harbor have attractions
which many of the naval officers find il
hard to resist, but they viii find out thai
under this administration duty must b,
considered before anything else.
1t is charged that abuses of one kline
and another have crept into the nav!
which are calculated to iniure the serv
ice. The secretary purposes to reform
them. If he does not grow weary in wei
doing he will not have much leisure dur
ing his term of service.
