DBrYING THE MAYOR.
street and Water Board Persist IN
Diminishing Clerks.

Mayor Wanser's refusal to approve
the resolution of the Street and Water
Board, passed last Monday, d,sm:ssing
the Democratic clerks employed by the
board, and also his refusal TO take any
action on the resolution naming Repub-
lfcan clerks as their successors. caused
the Street and Water Commissioners to
take a back track this morning. There
were two sets of clerks, but those the
board attempted to remove were on the
winning side inasmuch as the new
clerks could not legally enter upon their
duties until officially notified OF their
appointment Before such notification IS
sent out the Mayor must act.
This morning a resolution was ADOPTED
by the board resembling the former
resolution of dismissal, and second
adopted making the dissnissals become
operative on July l.
I'VE take this action, said Commits
sioner Kaiser, mot because we are
afraid of anyone, but merely to pre-
vent the city from becoming involved
in law suits for salaries. We are look
ing out for the interests of the tax
payers, no one else.
.sThe new clerks will enter upon their
duties on July !.

yer coinage ia 16 to independently by
the United States are Just now adopting
new tack. Knowing that the conserva-
tive common people can never be wou
to scheme so hazardous as the one
which they propose, they are trying to
create the impression that there is nc
possibility of ever securing action Oh
the monetary question by international
agreement, either in the near future or
at any remoter period. Every opponent
who expresses himself as the least
doubtful as to the successful outcome Of
the present movement for aninternational
monetary conference is hailed as a far,
seeing prophet, while the opinions of
those who have confidence in the early
the present movement for an international
ment are waved aside as of no imports
ance whatever.
This effort on the part of the free
silver men to make people believe that
international bimetallism is a hopeless
vision is confession that as against
international bimetallism the alleged
merits of independent free coinage can
make no headway. 1t is an admission
that the only safe way to secure q
larger use of silver as money is through
the combined action Of several power
ful governments. Only by excluding
this promising remedy from the choice
do the free silverites hope to be able to
persuade the people to try the dangerous
experiment they are advocating. On the
other hand, there are no new obstacles
to the proposed international conference.
Men like Mr.. Leech, in a position to
survey the situation and known to be
competent to form a sound judgement,
insists that the call for. the conference
will be forthcoming in good time and
that the invitation will be accepted by
every country whose cooperation is de-
sired Hopeful, not hopeless. is the way,
