SUIT AGAINST THE CITY.

Policeman Carmine hi Mare VIII Test
the City Solicitors Opinion In Court.
Patrolman Carmine Di Mare has en-
tered suit against the city to recover one
months salary refused him by City
Auditor H. H. Bllany, who acted on
advice given him by City Solicitor George
A. Elliott.
The suit was brought in the Superior
Court by Victor B. Woolley on Saturday
afternoon. II is a test case to ascertain
what constitutes the police force of this
city. Ia September Di Mare being the
sixty first man on the pay roll was not
paid his months salary, the city solicitor
having given the opinion that the words
"lhe police force Of the city of VIII
mington shall comprise one chief Of
police, two captains as many sergeants
as are deemed necessary and sixty men,
excluded Di Mare
In this sixty.one men we're counted
the superintendent of police and fire
alarm telegraph and his lineman.
which were considered by the city solic.
itor and city auditor to be policemen on
the force
The plaintiff will contend that the
alarm and telegraph system was estab-
lished long before the creation of the
present police commission. and in the
act creating that commission il
puts under its management the system
or department which already existed.
Therefore the men in the telegraph and
fire alarm department were not intended
TO be numbered in the sixty men COM
prisiDg the force. The evident inten.
tion was sixty patrolmen. With Mr.
Aydon and his assistant not counted ID

ninth man, and, consequently, entitled TO

A Clock That Registers the Tide.

The chamber of commerce of Rouen
has erected clock tower which gives
the time on three sides and the height of
the tide on the fourth, namely, that front
ing the harbor. The tide indicator con-
sists essentially of float, which, by
means of cord and counter weight hung
on drum, actuates series of shafts
with bevel wheel gearing and moves a
hand or pointer on a dial like that of a
clock, marked with the necessary figures
to show the level of the tide. The dials
are of opal glass and are illuminated at
night. The clock has an apparatus for
distributing the time to other clocks in
Rouen and also for unifying the time

BATE GIVES HIS VIEWS.
The Number of Grains in a Silver Dollar
Immutably Fixed.

a
ImmutabIy Fixed.
Bate followed Cameron and said that
the sovereign power to coin gold and silver
into money rested in the independent
states and WIS Iy them transferred by
specific grant to their agent, the congress,
and that power was not to coin money
from gold or silver, but from gold and
silver The silver dollar and not the gold
coin WAS the unit OF value. The silver
dollar Was the dollar of account which the
gold and silver coins were TO represent.
1t was thus intended that the dollar
should be always J1lI4 grains of pure sill
yer, just as the yards.ick was 10 be ri
inches long.
This measure of value remained whether
the coin that represented il WIS OF silver or
gold, greenback, national bank note or in
diyidual check Il was fixed, no matter
what the price, with no regard 10 the ratio,
and remained 50 until altered by uuhal-
lowed hands in S1i Bate denied the
claim that the Sherman law WAS respon-
sible for the st:-ingsncy and said that the
real cause OF the trouble was the Repub-
lican tariff. That was the real issue OF the
last national campaign, and the Democrats
had made a mistake in not pushing tariff
reform with the same vigOr they had
manifested 10 repeal the silver purchase
law.
