occasioned a reactionary movement on

cured. AID in consequence petitioned the
ocean side of the plaza. While the matter
lies under consideration protests are
being made on the ground that the build
ing would obstruct the view toward the

successfully conducted the present bath
house. has succeeded in interesting
several prominent citizens, who propose
to form q company and erect new
building with all the latest equipments
upon the spot now occupied by Fred.

SILVER GOING TO SMASH

"Dobes' for a Big Iron Dollar


WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The recent
payment of salaries at the agricultural
department in silver dollars has called at'
tention to the fact that on two previous
occasions employees were paid in gold.
The department books show that on Aug.
ust 81, 1898, $4,000 in god was paid to
employees and $500 in gold was paid to
certain employees on August Is, 1894. In
commenting on this statement Secretary
Morton said that while under the recent
payment there had been strenuous OBJ
jections on the part OF those paid in sill
ver coin. the previous disbursement OF
gold met with no protests whatever. He
added that he would. if necessary. put
into actual practice the proposition to
pay two Mexican dollars for every United
States dollar when the presen. value OF
53 cents was lowered to make the plan

The Brooklyn Eagle estimates the
Republican majority in the Senate In
1897 ut twenty over the Democrats, or
sixteen over all. 1t draws the follow.
Ing reflections from the results: "This
tremendous loss Of representation in
the chief legislative council Of the ma.
tiOn Is due primarily to the fact that
Democratic ideas are no longer dOlnl-
nant in the Democratic party. Sale
Of Law, prostitution to b0ssism and a
disposition to luggle with the currency
arc among the causes that have pro.
duced Democratic disaster and led the
people to turn that party out Of power.
There is, however, some consolation in
the reflection that Democratic voters
have not been slow to rebuke wrong
doing on the part OF representatives
OF their political faith. The sevcrest
reverses have been sustained In those
States whose Democratic Senators
have been recreant to the trust COM
mitted to them. Mr.. Bricc In Ohio, as
well as Mr.. German In Maryland, have
presumably by this time discovered
that the Indignation aroused by their
course during the tariff controversy
was not based on fiimsy pretext. Mr..

cent a challenge to Houston.
The bearer Of the challenge was re-

handed the written challenge to Gen.

up his pen, wrote something across
the back of the folded paper and
placed it in a pigeonhole Of his desk.
lie then went on to entertain the
bearer of the challenge with the pleas

to grow impatient and, remind

'Oh, yes" said Houston, II am go.

The bearer of the challenge bowed
himself out; but of course his friends

probable that he was anxious for it to
come.
