ABOUT THOSE ARCHES.
The Arch to be Built on Ninth
Street
And Kansas Avenue May Not
Have Any.
Meeting of the Ladies' Committee
Yesterday-Ladies Complain That
They Were Not Treated Right

The report of Mrs. c. S. Sutton, chair
man CT the ways and means committee,
on the matter of decoration yesterday
created quite a hutter. Mrs. Sutton
said: Last week we decided in
this committee to decorate the troll
ley poles on Kansas avenue. The idea
was to decorate every one of the troll
ley poles with asparagus, and between
the poles, from pole to pole from the
river to Tenth street, put a wire high
up wound with asparagus. After a
prolonged discussion with Mr.. Patton
of the trolley company, we found that
we could wind the poles, but would
have to dispense with the garIands. We
Immediately made up our minds that
if the car company would not allow US
to decorate the way we wanted to we
would leave Kansas avenue bare.
With this end in view and having
$121 that we had intended to spend on
Kansas avenue on hand, we resolved to
spend it on a big arch. 1t was at first
across Kansas avenue, but we were told
that the pavement could not be dis
turbed for an arch, so we gave that
up.
The next best place was Ninth street
at the east entrance of the state house
grounds.
Mr.. ROdman and the Edison Electric
Light company have made an estimate
span the east entrance 25 feet high and
of a thickness of two feet, done in
asparagus, with the words welcome,
G. A. r." in red, white and blue in
candescent lights for S102. This leaves
$25, and for that Mr.. ROdman says he
will erect two small arches decorated
with asparagus at the north and south
entrances. The asparagus will be re-
lieved by being studded with roses, pre-
ferred red.
This report by Mrs. Sutton was hear
tily approved by the u or Is ladies pres
emit and the arches ordered.
Mrs Wilmarth reported that the
young men of the fire department had
offered the services of a hook and lad
der truck in building the arches. They
were thanked for it by a vote
While the ladies are certainly en-
titled to build their arch where they
want to, it will be a great disappOint-
ment to the public not to have any
arches on Kansas avenue. Certainly,
no objection will be made to disturbing
the pavement for putting up arches.
The ladies ought to reconsider their
decision, or else more money should be
raised for an arch on Kansas avenue.
If anybody has not treated the La
dies Committee right, the matter
ought to be investigated. The ladies
have done very much for the Festival
and they ought to have just about what
they want.
The Journal is in favor of the trolley
poles being decorated and of having an
arch on Kansas avenue.

not like to speak at county fairs.
Speaking of his recent address at Oska-

shouts of applause mingled with the
nurmur of appreciation that arose from
my auditors. Just as I was in the mid

of the money question from the meta

his bell for the next race, and there
was a tumultuous rush from the out

PLAN OF FLoRAL PARADE.
A Novel and Clever Suggestion for
the Bicyclists.

The question of marshal for the Fall
Festival Flower parade was discussed
and settled at the ladies' meeting yes
terday.
Capt Fuller has been made official
marshal of the parades of the week
by the Committee of Fifteen and the
ladies recognized him as such.
Mrs. Wilmarth-I move that a COM
mittee of three be appointed by the
president to see Capt. Fuller and put
the parade entirely into his hands
with the request that Gen. Hughes be
appointed to have the marshalship of
our parade.
The motion carried, and Mrs. Mill
Sutton and Mrs. Briggs on the commit
tee.
It is proposed that the floats of which
it is estimated there will be u or Is,
will be divided up among the carriages
so that they will not all fall together.
This plan has not been thoroughly ar
ranged yet, however.
The position of the bicycles of the
Flower parade bothers the ladies and
the marshaIs somewhat. Capt. Fuller
suggested that since they ride fast, they
should be allowed to lead the process
sion.
Mrs. MiIIfken, however, has an idea
of her own, and wants them to ride be
hind.
I would suggest" she says, that
the bicyclists ride four abreast behind
the rest of the parade and that they
divide, two riding to the right and two
to the left ride back and come up in
the rear again and ride forward. In
this way they could ride as fast as they
wanted to, and look pretty, too.

ALLISON ON SILVER.

Extracts from the speech of William
B. Allison in the senate, February 15
1878
Congressional Record, Vol. Z, part 2
p 1858 ct seq. 45th congress, I'd session.
From 1892 up to 1927, and again by
the legislature of 1884, silver coins of
Mexico and the South American states
and Of France and Spain were made a
full legal tender in this country, and
some of them continued to be a full
legal tender until 1851. Therefore for near
" 20 years of our cOuntry'S history we
not only had a legal tender of our own
silver, but the silver of other nations
was a full legal tender in our country.
Yet senators say silver has played
but an insignificant part in the great
work of distributing the products of
our country, and in our exchanges: and
they triumphantly say thTe were only
eight millions of silver dollars coined
at our mint from 1892 to 1873. We had
of free coined silver money more than
a hundred millions coined at our mint
between those periods, / think S140, 0O0
600, and we had all the silver of the
world made legal tender in addition.
Mr. Moore, the director of the mint at
Philadelphia, stated in his report of
1882, that there were only S50O,0 600 of
gold money in the United States and
that all the rest was silver. Yet we
have the insignificant pretense made
here day by day that silver has never
played a prominent part in the history
Of our money.
The annual production of either sill
yer or gold or both amounts to little or
nothing compared with the great sum
of gold and silver already in existence.
Therefore the annual supply of the
precious metals has little or nothing to
do with their value. What is it, then,
that affects their value chiefly? 1t is
the demand. The commercial value is
controlled by the demand. What con-
stitutes the demand? Why is it that
we have silver quoted every day in the
London market2 Is it sold to be work
ed up into plate by the silversmith?
Not at all. It's present demand in the
London market is for shipment to In
dia or China. What is it that cOnSti-
tutes the demand for gold? Is it for
use in the arts? Very little of it can
money by so many civilized states that
cretstes a demand for it and gives it
its value. If all the European states
and our country were today Simultan-
eOusly to demOnetize gold and remOne-
tie silver, would not these two metals
Immediately change places, and would
not gold depreciate vastly below the
fall of silver in 1875? Silver is used by
six or seven hundred millions of people
living in oriental countries, while gold
is not used by them at all, or scarcely
at all Therefore, if gold were demone-
taken away from it, it would be the
metal to depreciate instead of silver.
Now, if that be true, what is vt that
creates the commercial value of the
precious metals2 1t is legislation. Leg
islatiOn give value to the precious met
ais, and the commercial value simply
records the condition of legislation with
reference to the precious metals.
Now, if legislation creates the chief
