The sound money crowd say they
want dollar that is as good as any other
dollar-a dollar that is worth a hundred
cents. The chief use of dollar, how
ever, is not to exchange it for some
other kind of a dollar, but to purchase
commodities and pay debts. How much
purchasing power do they think the dol
lar should nave? They say it should
buy as much as any other dollar. And is
the dollar which has had its purchasing
power increased the "honest" dollar?

Because COmmis SiOners DO Not Stand

The contractors who bid on the con-
tract to construct the retaining wall

what excited about the action of the
county commissioners ia refusing to let
the contract on the bids submitted yes
terday.
The commissioners advertised for Col
orado granite to be used in the construc-
ton of the wall and nearly all the bid
ders acted accordingly and submitted
bids for that material
Mills & Kesey, who have been work
ing on the new court house, were the
lowest bidders for Colorado granite, and
their bid was $40 under that of the next
lowest. But a new contingency arose.
1t was found that CuthbeFt & Sargent
had submitted bid on Missouri granite.
which was lower than that of Mills &
Kesey. and the commissioners refused to
let the contract to any one, though the
bids were not declared of.
Al Mooney, in speaking of the action
of the commissioners, said: SHE adver
tisement said nothing about Missouri
granite, and the commissioners had moth
ing to do but accept the lowest bid on
the kind of material specified Their
action was unwarranted and the contract
should have been let in accordance with
the advertisement"

EX-SENATOR INGALLS, is quoted as
saying that Senator Allison "has a way
of reserving his opinions until every
body else has expressed himself" and he
seems to regard that as a strong point in
favor of his candidacy for the presidency.

a man, however. what's the matter with

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 11.-Negotiations
have been closed for the lease of the
property at the northeast corner of
Olive and Sixth streets, and the largest
building in st. Louis is to be erected
thereon.
The building will be eighteen stories

very latest methods to be used. There
will be six of the latest improved fast

suit need not be of broadcloth. Fine
worsted is lighter and is an acceptable
substitute. Tibets are not in good taste,
however, for they are of too coarse a
weave. They are occasionally used
nevertheless.
The propriety of wearing a Tuxedo
coat in place of the claw hammer has at
last been settled. The Tuxedo will never
entirely supplant but will supplement
the full dress coat. It is looked upon as
good form when worn at stag parties,
in the clubroom or at places where ladies
are not present. On all other occasions
where full dress is necessary the tailless
Tuxedo is not in favor. The tails are
necessary to style and dignity and can
not be dispensed with, no matter how
much of n nuisance they may be.
