STOP HARMFUL SPECULATION.

There is no use Disgusting the fact that an
other bond issue is necessary or this country
must go on silver basis, which means gold
at a premium
Ever since the introduction OF the Carlisle
bill. New York bankers have charged Seere-
tary Carlisle with a breach of faith, and in
retaliation have attempted TO cripple the
Treasury by yexhausting our gold reserve. As
evidence of this statement, all the $50. 900, 900
put into the Treasury by the last bond sale
has been Withdrawn within the last seven
weeks, and nearly one-half Of it is said to be
on deposit in the New York banks.
1t is apparent that with insufficient reve-
nues 10 meet expenditures and with a cur
reacy redeemable over and over again in
gold. we are at the mercy Of the bankers.
Another issue of bonds would only give op-
portunity for a repetition Of the experience we
are now undergoing, and until either our
revenues are increased, or the Objectionable
currency is withdrawn from circulation we
must bow in subjection TO Wall street.
None Of the propositions presented to Con-
gress seem to reach the evil of the situation
Additional currency would do no good nor
would q reorganization OF our banking system
provide a remedy. Free coinage Of silver
might be acceptable if the country adopts a
silver basis, but the most reasonable way out
of our troubles would be an increase Of reve-
nues to prevent harmful speculations in our
gold reserve

TEE PEOPLES PENNY PAPER.

The TIMES has become the popular morn
Ing paper of Washington. Its rapid growth
and the eagerness with which it is sought
on the streets each morning shows that the
morning penny paper is the public favorite.
In the columns of THE TIMES this morning
will be found all the current news published
in bright, crisp, attractive manner. There
is no padding OF kilograms. no verbose COM
municstions, no lengthy argument without
special meaning. Every line is divested of
needless words, and yet al news Of the day
is printed in concise, comprehensive style
that wins the approval Of its readers.
Look this paper over carefully and see if
there is not more than penny's worth of in
formation. And if it meers your favor speak
a good word for THE TIMES whenever occa-
sion NAV present.

EoT A GOOD RECORD.

The passage Of the Nicaragua bill in the
Senate is the first step of that gigantic attack
on the public treasury. 1t will probably pass
the House and open the way for the expendi-
ture of hundreds of millions of public money.
The fact that il has been lobbied in Congress
for years is evidence that, in itself. il has no
merit. and that those urging its passage are
not doing so from patriotic motives.
The Fiity-third Congress seems determined
TO leave an unenyiable record. Its principal
legislation has been controlled by corpora
tions, aud its dying moments will be marked
by the passage Of appropriation bills with
bond-burdened riders.
But few Democratsi will care TO review the
work Of the Fifty-third Congress, and their
political opponents viii hold up its history as
a warning against the folly of betraying party
principles for the sake of private gain.

RIVAL RACE TRACKS AGREE.
Alexander Island and ST. Asaph Owns
Will Hold Meetings Alternately.

Alexander Island and ST Asaph Owners
Will Hold Meetings Alternately.
President Jones. of the Old Dominion
Jockey Club, stated last night that an entente
cordiale had been established with the Vir-
ginia Jockey Club, and the relations this
year will be of harmonious character.
This means that while racing shall be in
progress at the Alexander Island track the
ST. Asaph course will be closed, and vice
versa. Mr. Jones said that the only question
to decide Is the arrangement of dates, and it
is likely that the schedule will not be known
for some weeks.
The st. Asaph management desire fifteen
days of alternate racing, but the Old Domin-
ion Club will hold out for every other lay.
This is the only point on which the old rivals
have disagreed, and it will be settled before
the opening up in March. The majority OF
racing men are in favor of the eyery-other-
day plan.
The coalition OF the two tracks will be
satisfying to all sportsmen, as the opposition
threatened to kill the sport

Any Stage Tonight.
William II. Crane will present for the first
time on any stage at the National Theater this
evening Miss Martha Morton's four-act
comedy, His Wiies Father" Miss Morton,
it will be remembered, wrote "Brother John, "
a play in which Mr. Crane has had much
success. and she has proven herself very
clever dramatst
Upon reading the play three weeks ago
MIR. Crane was so carried away with it that
he determined TO place 1t in rehearsal at once.
He is anxious that it should have a hearing in
Now York, and for that reason he has can
ceed all OF his Western tour and taken the
Fifth Avenue Iheater in that city for several
weeks.
An old man'sI selfish love for his daughter
and how it caused her the greatest unhappi-
ness OF her life forms the ground work OF the
play. The action opens in the home OF
Buchanan Billings. a man OF possibly fifty
years, who has accumulated fortune and is
engaged in the wholesale grocery business.
His wife has beea dead some years and he
has an only daughter, Nell, Of whom he thinks
the world, and when she falls in love with
Frank Hamilton. a young man holding Il
responsible position in her fathers business
house, the old man does not hesitate about
giving his consent to their marriage.
On the day of the marriage he makes the
young man partner IN the business and
says he has determined to spend the rest oi
his life making his daughter happy. Having
nothing to do the old man becomes a nut
sance TO himself and to every body else. he
imagines he has all kinds Of ailments and is
more or less hypocondriae.
When the young couple start on their
honeymoon he determines to accompany
them and he insists on their living in his
house. Frank is becoming fretful and un-
happy, for he n9ver has moment with hi:
vile that the old man does not put in an ap-
pearance. 1t is easy to see that there is
trouble ahead and that old Billings viii be
the cause of it. Frank gets mad and deter
mining to have home of his own takes a
fiat and is moved into it before the old man
is aware of the change.
The first breakfast in the new home is fan
from pleasant. Nell cannot help worrying
about how Eer father spent the night alone in
his big house. At this point old Billings
comes in for breakfast and Nell and Frank
have a spat, which results in his saying that
he has made a mistake and that he will go
Not knowing what she is doing Nell orders
him to go, and when she does realize wha,
she has done, she turns on the old man anG
then falls into a dead faint. Mrs. Canary
opens Billings eyes to the part he has played
in his daughters domestic unhappiness, and
after bringing about a reconciliation he with.
draws into the background OF their lives.

Tiny particles of hail began to descend
about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
soon developed into a steady downfall Of a
mixture of snow and rain. Tue pavements
and streets became coated with slush to a
depth OF about an inch through which pedes-
trians trudged with irritated haste.
The asphalt pavements became so slippery
that horses were unable to travel over them.
The animals fioundered and fell repeatedly,
and the horse ear lines and herdics were
practically tied up. On the hills the wretched
horses had the hardest time many of them
