shcrman's StraddIe.

That IS what in Ohio they call Sher-
mans speech in the GAINESVILLE conven-
ton. We have elsewhere pointed out
the same straddle. EX-Secretary Foster
is charged or credited with having. as
chairman of the Committee on Resom-
tons, prepared a platform which VIII
satisfy tho free-silver element OF the
party.
However, we started out TO write OF
Sherman's straddle. Ex-Congressman
George Z. Seney, a Democrat, and an
ardent sllverite. being interviewed by a
reporter for the Washington Post, said:
Senator Sherman's failure to take a
decided stand in favor Of what is erro-
neously called sound money will tend
to encourage the free-sllver movement.
While from the standpoint he is sup
posed TO represent l am rather disap-
pointed In Mr.. Shermans speech, l feel
that Il cannot but do the cause OF BIZ
metallism much good Another thing,
this speech to-day shows that the Repub-
lican leaders propose TO cater 10 the sill
yer people and leaves Cleveland and Car
Isle as the leading opponents OF the
money metal demanded by Wall street"
These suggestions of Mr. Seney are
very shrewd. lie sees that Sherman
knows that Mckinley may not be able
to secure the nomination for himself. and,
therefore, MIR. Sherman Will have chance
even in the Republican National Conven-
ton TO pose as Ohio's "favorite son." as,
indeed. he is. But he is too Old. and
might as well abandon a time-serving
policy. and come out in unmistakable
language against having both gold and
silver as standards OF values. The Re-
publican party will be compelled 10 come
out for a single standard, and II Mr..
Sherman is wise he viii be the leader in
that movement

IL, balloon TO The Pole.

NJ. Andree's scheme 70 reach the North
Pole by balloon is not new-that is to say
the idea has been advanced on several
occaslo by students Of Arctic conditions
that II the pole was ever reached 1t would
be by the aerial route. The difference be-
tween these theories and NJ. Andree's'
however is that the latter proposes to
give the balloon plan Of Arctic voyagins
actual trial. NJ Andree IS a Swedish en-
sineer who has devoted much time and
study to the science OF ballooning. on
one occasion he made the trip in bal
loon over the Gulf Of Bothnia from Swe-
den TO the shores OF Finland. He Is SAN
guine as regards his projected polar VEN
ture. and the details Of his scheme are
said to have the endorsement of a num-
Der Of scientific men. King Oscar OF
Sweden, has shown his faith in the pro-
ject by subscribing a handsome sum to-
wards its furtherance.

Our Street-Cnr Lines.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Now that the great Confederate reunion
I'm Richmond next spring is assured. and
we are to have an Exposition this tall,
the extension OF the electric railway TO
the Exposition buildings should be accom-
pIished without unnecessary delay BY
branching the Main-street line via Straw
berry street and extending the Clay-street
line 10 the grounds, as proposed the main
norton OF the city would be enclosed in
belt which would give ample accommo-
dalton 10 the travel from all parts OF
the city. Either Of these two lines can
be reached by a short walk from any sec
ton. There is no pressing need OF
Broad-street line. That thOroughfare Is
only a step from either Of the present
lines. Should a line from Chimborazo up
Broad be built the patronage on the
other two routes would be very greatly
decreased. and might even fan below the
paying point on one, If not both, OF them
since the increase in the city's population
is slow. Ii Is matter Of very great
doubt whether the increased trafiic which
has been predicted for Broad street When
II shall be connected with Church Hill by
an electric line will ever be realized
since there IS no reason for supposlng
that any resident Of that section who de-
sires to shop on upper Broad street does
not do so now, there being no rival estab-
lishments in that part OF the city to Keep
him from doing so, and but very little
prospect OF there ever being any. The
Churchill Hill line Is already sufficiently
accessible 10 the people OF the Hill. No
thing would, therefore be gained to them
by a Broad-street track east OF Twenty
first street From Twenty-tirst street up
town the detour is only trihe In dis
lance and not five minutes In time. II a
viaduct Is not to be buiit-and IL seems
that Il Will not be soon-tO change the
present connection between the two sec
tions would not be worth while-the game
would not be worth the candle. SO the
writer thinks, at least.
Let us keep Broad street as our show
streer'-upper Broad street that is We
would not exhibit. except under cOmpul-
sion, Rutherford's Roosts and Lumpkin's
Bottom and Jail Flats. Let us keep cars
Of all kinds of Il, with their annoying
camor and risk TO crowded traffic. and
plant that double row Of trees down the
centre which has so long been talked
about, and which would add go much to
It's beauty. With street-car lines in easy
! reach on either side Of II. there is no
need for more. Let the shaved-tail mule
and the bob-tail car 40. and let their
place know them, nor any other sort. no
more forever. SELAH

Importnnt TO italy.


The triumph OF Crispi was an event
which promises far-reaching and impor-
tant results for Italy. IT was triumph
az we'll over official corruption ana eX-
travagance as over socialism, In recent
wears Italy has taken rapid rise as a
Power. but her treasury and her people
have been the prey OF the eupidlty OF
a horde OF petty officials. This has
brought her TO the verge Of II not to ae-
tual bankruptcy. Crispi. who Is by long
odds the ablest italian Of his generation
attempted In the last Chamber to institute
reforms that would bring the country
out of the financial troubles in which
IT had become Involved, but was de-
feated. 1t Is now expected that he viii
be able to carry out these reforms. and
IL he succeeds, not only will more pros
peroua conditions follow at home but
Italy will be In position 20 exert greater
influence than ever before in respect OF
the policy Of Continental Europe.

The Land Assessments.

The Hon. Eugene Withers. member OF

out in another letter 10 the Danville Re
gister, in which he insists that the
assessments Of lands now being made
win result In such reduction OF values
"a will require either a reduction OF ex-
penses or an Increase OF taxation. The
needful reduction, MIR. Withers argues.
can only be made by constitutional con-

The Nicaragua CnnnI.

The Ohio Republican State Convention
passed yesterday one good resolution. 1t
reads as follows:
Believing the proposed Nicaragua ca
nal Is needed for commercial extension
and national defence. and that II ought to
be constructed and operated by the gov
eminent of the United States or under
its protection, we commend this project
To our representatives in Congress"
We cannot, for the life OF US. under
stand why the Democrats should antagon-
ize any measure simply because the Re-
publicans advocate it. John Wesley said
once that he was not IN favor OF allow
Ing the devil TO have all the good times;
and so We are not in favor Of allowing
the Republicans to include ali the good
measures amongst theirs.

terests in the reproducing states,
or because he contemplated securing
their votes for himself as presiden-
tial candidate, he attempted to sep
arate himself from some of the party
leaders, and excused and defended
his action by a speech in the senate
which reads like the composition of
a school boy.
After all, however, Don Cameron,
who goes, represents less evil phase
of Republicanism than the successor
whom Mr.. Quay will name. The
difference between Cameron and
Quay is that between King Log and
King Stork. Cameron was a mere
stupid machine politician. Quay is
a real genius, with all his ability
enlisted on the side of evil. Cam
eron has reflected no credit upon his
state or his party in the exceptions
ally high position in which accident
placed him. He stands in history as
a political nonenity. Yet the step
from Cameron to Quay is distinct
decadence of Pennsylvania Repub-
licaniSm.

THE TREASURY REPORT.

The report of Secretary Carlisle
suffers seriously in the public inter
est by reason of its close following
of the lines laid down in the presi-
dents message. Coming after so
considerable a lapse of time, it yet
deals with the same questions and
tries them by the same principles.
The central proposition, to which the
secretary devotes the burden of his
argument, is the retirement of the
greenback. At equal length, but
with no more convincing force than
the president, Mr. Carlisle shows the
folly and crime of retaining the
greenbacks and Sherman notes in
our currency, and urges their re-
tirement by the issue of bonds. His
financial recommendations are, in
deed, so perfectly parallel with those
contained in the message that they
are subject to the same judgment. 1t
is noticeable that both the president
and the secretary have dropped
their plan for bank note currency.
Probably they believe that there is
no chance of establishing a currency
system both sound and complete just
now, and think it we'll to secure en-
phasis on the point of most impor-
tance at the expense, If necessary,
of others. We think, notwithstand-
ing, that the movement to retire the
greenbacks would have a far better
chance of success with the bank note
currency feature than without it.
Where the message was silent on
the subject of revenue, the treasury
report states boldly that none addi-
tional is required. The deficit is
steadily decreasing, so that the addi-
ton to it during the remainder of
the current fiscal year will be very
slight. For the year 1897 it is esti-
mated that there will be slight sur
plus. 1t is evident that the estimates
of income and expenditure were cal
culated to a nicely last year, since
the total deficit was several millions
less than the amount which would
have been realized from the pro-
ceeds of the income tax. 1t will be
a severe disappointment to the Re-
publicans in congress to learn that,
even without that feature, the new
tariff is producing now substantially
all the money necessary to pay the
expenses of government. There will
be much quarreling with Mr.. Car
isles estimates, as a basis for fur
ther tariff legislation, but all that
our tax laws seem to need just now
is to be let alone for time. Secre-
tary Carlisle's report is, on the whole,
as was expected of the man who has
contributed so much and so admir-
ably to recent discussions of finance,
strong, comprehensive and convinc-
ing, except to those who have made
UP their minds not to be convinced.

PARK BOARD MEETING.
4 Little Business Done, Although
No Quorum Was Present.

No Quorum Was Present.
Only two members of the park board
showed up at the meeting last night
President Wheelock and Commission
er Hamm. 1t was rumored during the
day that some matters of Importance
were to be brought up, but owing to
the lack of a quorum they were not
discussed informally.
A proposition to have the board des-
ignate site in one of the public parks
for the erection of G. A. r. memorial
monument was submitted by the COM
mittee in charge of the arrangements
for the G.. a. r. national encampment,
with the Endorsement of the chamber
of commerce. The proposition is to
have the main part of the monument
constructed of stones. to be furnished
one by each state encampment, and
each stone to bear the name of the
encampment furnishing it, The park
board was asked to have a foundation
put in for the monument, and the city
will be expected to furnish a bronze
statue for it some time later on.
AS immediate action was necessary,
the two members present assumed the
responsibility of answering that the
board would comply with the request
The proposition of the street railway
company to sublet the privilege of
putting in toboggan slides at Como
park was discussed and 1t was thought
that the privilege should not be grant
ed, except upon the condition that one
slide be erected for free use by those
who supply their own toboggans. Park
Superintendent Nussbaumer was in
Structed to notify the street railway
company to that effect.
