The white Cruiser Chicago at Ds bin.

The stars and stripes are as familiar
to Irish eyes as the flag of green, but not
often is The symbol of the United States
of America seen on an American battle
ship in Dublin bay. A warship is re-
garded as part of the territory of the
state to which it belongs, and therefore
the Chicago may be looked upon as the
part of the great country i'll which so
many of our people have found home,
and not 4 few of them have found fame
and fortune. 1t was only natural, there
fore, that her advent to our shores
should have stirred Irish hearts, and
that the flag flying above her should
have conjured up visions of battle days
when side by side with 1t was carried
the flag of green. Ireland gave Barry
to the American navy, and the blood of
Old Ironsides coursed through the veins
of Charles Stewart Parne1, and the
Irish nature would have ceased to be
Irish if our warmest affections We're not
successfully appealed to by the sight of
part of The armed force which the genius
of Barry helped to create and of the flag
under which the grandfather of the
Irish leader served and fought.-United

The Election of School Trustees.

There seems to be considerable misun-
derstanding as to the election Of school
trustees this spring and also as to future
elections in order to continue the member
ship of the board at seven. In answer to
many inquiries | respectfully submit the
following:
In April, 1898, we elect five trustees: three
for three years, one for two years and one
for one year. Then the board will stand:
three for three years, two for two years
and two for one year.
In 1894 we elect two for three years, the
board then standing; two for three years,
three for two years and two for one year.
In 1895 we elect two for three years, the
board then standing: two for three years.,
two for two years and three for one year.
In April, 1896, we elect three for three
years, the board then standing: three for
three years, two for two years and two for
one year. JOHN NJ. PARENT,

Mr. Crovdsr Has q Grievance.

EDITOR ARGUS: At the last session OF the
proposals for the care OF the poor at the
county hospital. will give in full the bid
that 1 offered:
Il, j. L. Crowder, in accordance with the
proposition published in the ARGUS. for the
care and maintainance OF the poor. sick
and infirm at the county hospital, said
proposals. to include and cover the entire
cost OF feeding, clothing and nursing the
sick, BOOT and infirm, including all burial
expenses, for the year beginning March,
1893. and ending March, 1894, for which
do agree for the sum OF five dollars and
fifty cents per head per week. And l do
further agree to deposit in the Bank Of Fer
gus County the sum Olive hundred dollars
outside OF my official bond, that l will do
everything satisfactory and give full and
fair satisfaction to the inmates, and this
live hundred dollars to cover any and all
expenses when I am the cause Of it,"
Now, why is this five bundre dollars
offered as a deposit outside of my official
bond? Because these high priced commits
sioners stated there were complaininas and
dissatisfaction now. this is false. When /
was relieved as a sub-contractor ] de-
manded a trial and offered to put up the
money for all expenses; it was denied me.
l wanted to be brought face to face with
my accusers, but these high priced commits
sioners pould not permit it. o at the
last session my bid was the lowest; the
highest bid was awarded the contract. At
present there is eleven inmates at the hos
pital. The difference in the two bid is six
teen and a half dollars per week and sixty
two dollars per month and S744 per year,
just as matters now stand. Fellow citi-
zens, i offered to meet every charge that
was made against me and pay all expenses,
yet these high priced men denied me a hear
ing. They manufactured most malicious
lies over the death OF Myers and McLain,
manufactured for the purpose OF using at
this session of the board and served the
purpose well. Why advertise and waste
the peoples money, when you know just as
well before as after who gets the contracts.
Thu whole matter was a fragrant violation
of the law and a farce and the people have
to put up for it. Look at the condition OF
our county, warrants discounted at fifteen
per cent. II these high priced commission
ers had intelligence enough to get ashamed
once, just once, they would resign, rs the
taxpayers most heartily desire that they
should and let capable and honest men get
our warrants back to par.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

The law requiring the purchase of a
fixed amount of silver by the govern
ment every month appears to be grow
ing more and more burdensome and
dangerous to the financial and bust
ness interests of the country. Certi-
ficates are issued for this silver and
in order to maintain the parity be-
TIVE en- silver and gold these certificates
are payable in either. OF course for
payment of de BITS in foreign countries
gold is required and thus in order to
furnish a market to owners of West
ern silver mines, gold is withdrawn
from the United States Treasury and
silver bullion is left. 1t has been the
policy of the government to maintain
reserve fund of 800, 900, 900 in gold.
Owing to recent heavy demands the
available gold, exclusive of the reserve
fund, was about exhausted, causing
great uneasiness in monetary circles
where financial panic was dreaded.
1t was proposed to redeem the treas
ury notes in silver, but President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle, it
appears, have both set their faces
against this policy. The former has
declared that the public credit and
the public faith must be preserved
and that the parity between gold and
silver shall be maintained. Presi-
dent Cleveland and his cabinet are
all in favor of sound money, and will
advocate the adoption of a better
financial plan by the next Congress-
In the meantime they will avert a
financial crisis, even if it should be
found necessary to encroach upon the
800, 900, 900 gold reserve, or even to is
sue bonds.
The Baltimore sam says:
The whole situation shows to what
pass the folly of impracticable en-
thusiasts can bring the finances of a
great and wealthy nation. Egged on
by silver-mine owners, persons I'M
practiced in monetary science have
been led to clamor for the free coinage
of silver, in the idea that deficiency
of money is the cause of low prices
and that cheap silver dollars will bring
general prosperity. While the money
centres everywhere are embarra' sed
with the abundance of money, it is
argued that more is needed. What is
really needed is confidence in the
financial and monetary future. The
excessive issue of silver bullion treas
ury notes under the Sherman act is
the immediate cause of the present
trouble. We are compelled by it to
buy 4, 800, 900 ounces of silver a month
and the ability of the treasury to meet
it's gold liabilities is lessened to the
extent of these purchases. The white
metal is beautiful to look at, but is as
useless for redemption purposes as SO
much lead would be.
