more devoted to general principles and
to patriotic sentiments than TO specific

THE SHYLOCkS
Preparing for Business During the
inauguration.
The Persons Who Get Cot for Ten Dol
lars Are Lucky-Outrageous Practice
of Renting Government Property to
Spectators to View the Parade.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-During the
inauguration the prices charged along
the line OF march for window or seats
on the newly constructed stands will
be simply paralyzing, as are the prices
for rooms, board and accommodations
A room which ordinarily rented for fif-
teen dollars month will be held at the
same price or double per day, 1t is per-
haps not matter Of complaint that the
people should have comfortable
seat in which to view the pa
rade, but that they should he com
PEELED to pay ten dollars for seat
erected on the property of the gov
crnment is simply outrageous The gov
ernmcnt, through congress, authoriz-
ing the committee having charge of the
arrangements to sell the right to put
up the stands. This the committee did
for an average price of fifty cents a
seat. Senator German states it cost
the persons who purchased the right to
put the seats about Sl.4O or ST. seat
though this seems like large price
But the prices for the seats vary from
$l.50 for the poorest seats to $40 for the
best seats.
Mr. German stated in the senate that
as high as $500 had been asked for the
use Of one small balcony for the day.
A correspondent who had called to in
Quire as to the rent of a room on a sec
ond story facinr on the avenue was told
that the price was 1900 for the day. An
investigation showed that the prices of
windows ranged from 800 to $500, ac-
cording to the room. AS to the prices
for rooms in boardinghouses, Senator
Vest remarked in the senate that he
sought to get accommodations in the
city for an honest old democrat who
wanted to come here for the first time
to see a democrat inaugurated, and
that his secretary could not find any
kind of room fit to live in in the city
for less than $50 for ten days,
1t seems outrageous that private spec
ulators should be given the privilege of
erecting banks of seats on government
reservation all along the mile and Il
half line of the procession and charge
the public from two to ten dollars 4
head for single seats. As for the OWN
ers of private windows, balconies, etc,
it is their own business to rent them for
what they can get.
Washington, with its 1900 or $1,000
government employees, large share OF
them maidens widows widowers and
bachelors-that is, people without fam.
ilics--is good deal Of big tenement,
lodging and boarding house
In many instances these people have
been notified that they must either give
up their rooms or pay from $40 to so a
day for the inauguration time, which is
reclloncd US Friday, Saturday and Sun
day, The person who applies at a
Washington hotel on the night ol
March 3 for shelter will deem himself
lucky to get cot for he won't get a
room unless he can stand Sl2 or ;l6 a
day for it, and he will have small
chances of getting it even at that rate.

repeal of the Sherman law at this ses-
sion. nor at the next either, for there
will be more free silver men in the SEN
ate, at least, than in the present body.
! think silver and gold should be coined
in equal ratio, and the silver dollar
should be worth 100 cents. think if
the two coins could be placed on an
equal basis the great monetary problem
would be solved The democrats will
not be likely to repeal the Mckinley
law altogether. If the pending appro-
priation bills are not passed Mr.. Cleve-
land will probably call an extra session.
The condition of the treasury is near
the danger line. 1t is easy enough to
raise money to maintain the reserve
by selling bonds, but hope the trouble
can be tided over without resorting to
that to save the country from further
indie btedness.
