- Represented by Governor

United States ut Madison Square

he did.

M'KINLEY'S ORATORY.

N Notwithstanding their blind
worship of everything which
McKinleyism represents, few
Republican papers have had
the daring to come forward and
laud McKinley's oratory.
Excessive zeal in his cause,
however, has led the New York
Tribune to venture on the task,
and a herculean task it is. In
speaking of his address to the
workingmen of Knoxville, Pa,
it declares that every speech he
makes is received with greater
favor by those who look to him
for leading in the present con-
troversy without being his par
tisans. 1t eulogizes his frank
ness and eloQuence, and quotes
this sentence of it as a proof
that he is an orator without
compare: "Our currency today
is good, all of it is as good as
gold, and it is the unfaultering
determination of the Republican
party to keep and maintain it
forever"
Can any man resist the ring
ing appeal on behalf of the
financial policy Of his party!
Its glowing patriotism, its en-
trancing eloquence would cause
the heart of even the stole to
throb with national pride at the
thought that even this degen-
crate age does give the coun-
try the services of such men as
the Canton Major.
1t is a pity that one gifted
with such oratorical powers
does not consent to give his
countrymen an opportunity OF
reading his inspiring words
more frequently. Why does he
not consent to stand on a plat
form with Bryan, so that the
world might witness his swift
destruction of the argument OF
the Democratic nominee with
such ringing sentences as that
quoted. st. Louis Republic

to get what our labor produces
for nothing, as is the case now.
One of the reasons why silver
was demonetized was because,
although the south was mpov-
erished by war, yet she was
rapidly regaining her lost
wealth. No section OF our coun-
try acquired wealth more rapid
ly from the close of the war
until 1873, when silver was
demonetized, than the south
did. The eastern money sharks
said that we had the soil and
the climate and the people who
knew how to use both, that we
fed and clothed the world, and
that ii something was not done
to keep the south poor we
would not only regain what we
had lost, but that we would soon
be the wealthiest section of the
world. The demonstration of
silver was a blow aimed at ON
prosperity. 1t has been given
with paralyzing effect. Every
product of labor has declined
with silver. An ounce of un-
coined silver, judged by the
lproducts of labor, is worth aS
lmuch as it was in 1873 before il
was demonetized, for it vii
purchase just as much cotton
wheat, ETC., now rs it woult
then. II takes nearly twice o:
Imuch uncoiued silver to pur
chase an ounce of gold now, q.
1t did in 1873. This proves tha

Rfdfculing the Metric System.

To the E1to, Of The Evening Star:
Yesterdays discussion in the House of
Representatives concerning the introduc-
ton of the metric system mas brought out
some very humorous speeches in opposition
thereof. 1t would seem, however, that
these speakers, conscious of having no
valid grounds for their opposition, resorted
to these tactics of ridicuing the proposed
scheme, and thereby drawing the attention
of the serious-minded members from the
undeniable merits of the system.
Another point was much dwelt on, name
ly, the confusion that would result from
the change. l believe that this fear is
much overeStimated The writer very dis
tinctly remembers the time when the sys-
tenn of measures was changed in his native
country, from one nearly as complicated as
that at present in use here, to the simple
metric system. The government at the
time published and sold at cost price con-
version tables of convenient form and size.
fusion, but everything settled down to the
new order in remarkably short time. The
same experience was gone through with all
of the twenty-seven countries in which the
metric system is now obligatory, and while
1t is probable that in most of them the peo-
pie generally were averse to the change,
before 1t was made, it may safely be assert
ed that not one of them would consent to
return TO the old state Of affairs
AS 1t is supposed that one of the duties of
Congress is to enact laws that will inure
to the greatest good for the greatest num-
Der, l hope to live to see the day when the
metric system is adopted here, and the old,
complicated system is relegated to the
limbo of colonial times" K.

The Police Pension Fund,

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Will you be kind enough to give a little
space In your very valuable paper for a
worthy object? 1t is for the purpose Of
Urging an appropriation for the mainten-
ance of the police relief fund. The pension
ers are old men, women 6nd children The
men retired under the law Of Congress We're
rated and promised pensions ranging from
80 to so per month. Their widows and or
phans were to receive an allowance the
women to be awarded SIS, $50 or So per
month. Now this fund is exhausted. Last
year Congress appropriated $1,000, which,
together with 81 per month from each Do
nceman, from fines imposed On policemen
Tor violations of the rules, from stolen and
abandoned property and the proceeds of a
bal and excursion given for the benefit OF
the police fund, amounted to enough in the
last year to enable the authorities to pay
three-ffths of the pension allowed. During
last month the pensioners did not receive
anything and up to date this month they
have not been paid one cent. Now, it does
seem as though a proper effort might save
tfese pensions from lapsing. The men pen
stoned have become incapacitated through
length OF service and exposure, and / be
lieve that If The Star will urge those in
authority to action that Congress will make
the appropriation.
The Commissioners asked for SIG 900 in the
estimates, but the House threw the item
cut, and now the only hope is that the SEN
ate will do something for the fund. As Won
are always doing something worthy of your
good paper l trust this really important
matter will not be neglected.
