ment Association to order at Loef1lers Hall
last evening and announced that the first
business was the election of permanent
officers.

pared, to be signed by the citizens interested
and presented to the Commissioners, asking
Tor the much needed improvements 10 the
streets in the section embraced by the streets
named in THE TIMES of last Wednesday.
Mr.. Keefe spoke of the great necessity for
improved streets. He said that the children
had to traverse the mud in going to and re-
turning from school, and that there was no
way for poor residents TO 90 to and from
buslness except upon unpaved streets. He
thought the association should go to Con-
Sress in case the Commissioners failed to
grant relief.

condition of the alleys and 10 the many ap-
preparations made for the Improvement OF

Enemies of the Silver Dollar

EDITOR TIMES: If what is said in certain
quarters and reported in some newspapers
on the money question can be relied upon as
foreshadowing the probable action of Con-
Eress IN reference to banking and currency
we may possibly in the near future be enjoy
ing the financial blessings which we had prior
TO the establishment of the national banks
when the country was flooded with red dog,
wild cat, and stump tail' bank paper called
money.
Never since we have been an independent
nation have we had a currency so sound and
so universally and deservedly popular as
since the national banks were established.
Under this system the bill holder of any ma
tional bank on every foot of American soil is
absolutely secure. The president of a ma
honal bank may be incompetent or dishonest
and the cashier with his carpet-bag may
seek foreign shore, but the bill holder is al
ways safe beyond doubt or contingency.
1t Is said that experience is a dear school,
but that certain class (nameless here) of
people will learn in no other. 1t seems how
ever, that some would-be Iinanciers will not
even learn in that school, and with such men
the history of the past counts for nothing.
and so each generation has to experiment in
financial tinkering for itself, and the dear
people suffer the consequences. One of the
strange things under the sun Solomon to the
contrary Notwithstanding on this money
question, is, that while 3S4 grain silver dol
lar seems to have no enemies, a 41215 grain
dollar mas an army of enemies. with the COM
mander-in-chief of the Army and Navy lead
ing the attack
A silver dollar with 41215 grains of 9-1Oths
fine silver in it is, in the estimation OF some
of those modern financial solons, not a good
enough dollar, although it has certain we'll
defined intrinsic value. and by the act of
Congress and the decision of the highest legal
tribunal of the land is a dollar, in the payment
OF all debts public and private, and good on
every foot of American soil.
But strange to say, some of these same men
who object to a constitutional legal tender
silver dollar are willing to take a paper
promise of some crossroad flnancier, which is
not good ten miles from the county where it
was issued. If the lamp of experience lighted
our pathway in this matter there would be
much less danger. II. PR1CE.

Teller and Stewart Defend Coxsy-Tsri6
Amend msnts Defeated.
WAsHrNsros CIrY, May 10.-In the SEN
ate today Allen introduced bill TO repeal
the act regulating the use Of the capitol
grounds, under which Coxey and others
were prosecuted.
PETER introduced resolution for the ap-
pointment Of special committee Of three
to investigate the condition of the country
with special reference to the prevailing
depression, and what legislation will af-
tord relief
The Allen resolution to investigate the
alleged police clubbing on May 1 then
came up. Cor ion said that the Coxey
movement was . child Of the patsrnAl
government. The only remedies for ex-
isting conditions were to bs found In de
cent realization OF power.
Teller favored the resolution. Coxey
was q law-abiding citizen. He and his
followers had trudged through the snow
and mud and were entitled TO respectful
consideration. He did not indorSe tho

refuse to investigate the police clubbing.

absurd, rs were many others put for ward

wicked scheme. II only asked congress to
provide work for the unemployed.
Stewart maintained strenuously that
Coxey had committed no offsnse, and
driftei gradually into discussion Of the
general condition Of the country, which
he attributed to the monetary policy Of
the government.
Hasr said Coxey knew the Law under
which he xas convicted was on the statute
books. He came here with the deliberate
intention Of violating it. He wanted to
test the power of congress in the case. and

him he set up howl. There
