10 Establish II Unaided.
Memphis, April 22.-In an interview,
Senator Harris says:
1.-THE utilization and rehabilitation of
silver to it's position as money metal
and a money of ultimate redemption
in connection with gold. as the regulator
OF volume or amount of the thing called
money, is Overwhelmingly strong in the
south and west, and. in my opinion,
ought to be strong everywhere. While I
would be glad to have an international
agreement to utilize all the gold and
all the silver at an agreed ratio, am
ready to establish a financial system
for the United States which does rec
ognize both metals and makes them le-
gal tender for all purposes and admits
them to the same rights in coinage"

borough is wholly without apparatus
and the bucket brigade offered only
slight resistance to the flames. A high
wind drove the fire up the hillside and
everything in its path was destroyed.
The town was panic stricken owing to
lack of water and fire apparatus. Lit
tie insurance was carried by property
owners, insurance premiums being al
most prohibitive.

THE CHAIN GANG CONTROL
An Old Subject Again Comes to the
Surface
Captain Houston's Job and His Lack OF
OFFICIAL Responsibilfty-Those
Oregon Boots

The proposition to plac, the control Of
the city chain gang into the hands of
ei'her the chief OF police or the superin-
ten lent OF streets is again being agitated
about the city hail. The matter has been
bone OF contention 70. years and is a
periodical subject tor discussion. The
chain gang is at present in charge OF an
official styled captain for the purpose.
The pay of the place is SO month and
the council makes the appointment. Cap
tain j. j. Houston is'a Gold-over in the
position from the previous city admins
traNon. There has never been any COM
plant against him excepting that he is
responsible officially only to the council,
which it is claimed is really no RESPONSE
oility at all. The prisoners in the chain
gang are presumed to labor wherever the
stre,t superintendent may direct The
men are Oregon booted while in public
like so many does, custom which is,
with the exception of the most refractory
cases only. not in vogue at either San
Quentin or Folsom.
Chief Glass has always been a consist
ent opponent against the existing state
of affairs, both as regards the control OF
the chain gang and the Stacking of the
men. These prisoners are at present only
in charge of the police department. when
locked up IN their cells while not EN-.
ployed.
The position of captain of the chain
gang has always been nothing but per-
quislte of the political majority in the
council and all efforts to bring about a
reform in the present condition have so
far been unavailing.

The finance comm ittee of the council

ing OF the present police forcs by the

Commissioners Wirsching and Long will
make the argument for the increase be-
fore the finance COMMITTEES.
There is considerable opposition TO the
enlargement of this force at this time
among some OF the members OF the coun-
Gil and unless public opinion compe!s the
addition. the request of the police board
at this time will probably not ba com Piled
with. President Teec informed Herald

that the city should have more poIice.
for the purpose was to come from. 1--WE
have just gone to work and let contract
for the central police station for $50 000
more than is on hand for the purpose
and this thing of more policemen ought
to keep. We have got to stop increasing
municipal expenses somewhere and the
sooner We begin to realize that fact the
better.'
The mayor is, on the contrary, of the
opinion that the force ought and should
at once be increased, if not by twenty,
at least bv the addition of ten men.
The finance committee will also today
consider the petition from the associated
Charities for municipal aid IN the con-
duct OF that organization.
