APPEAL TO THE ARMY.
Resignation of Commander Booth
DeplOred by Col. NicOI.


DeplOred by Col. NicoI.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25-Following is
the appeal issued by Col Nicol, of the
salvation Army. now being sent
throughout the country by mail and
wire. to officers and soldiers:
IL Is with great anguish and a deep sense
OF the consequences involved that I have to
conhrm the telegram concerning the lament
able and deplorable resignation of your COM
manders.
Their resignation was conveyed to the
general in letter dated as far back as
Jan. 81 The reasons gwen for their unex-
pected action are alleged personal differ
ences or some months standing with
our beloved general, and what will, 1 believe,
occasion your most intense surprise a lack
OF commence in our International system of
administration. AS you will readily imagine,
TINS letter OF resignation came upon our
leader as bolt from a blue sky. The chief
OF the staff, BramweIl Booth to whom the
letter had to be sent, owing to the generals
absence in India. was amazed beyond meas
ure, and the other members of the generals
1amiiy within reach were churched with in
describable sorrow. That such a step should
be taken by any territorial commander must
be great grief, but the sorrow in this case
is intensified hundredfold by the fact that
your commander is one of the generals own
CHILDREN: and an officer whose long devotion
to the war and pledges of undying and I'M
h1nching fidelity to glorious flag have
given him more than warm place in the
confidence in his brother officers in all parts
OIL the world. Whatever may be the final
issue of this terrible STEP | am glad to be
in a position in the midst of this dark hour
to inform you that international headquar-
tiers acted upon the first indication of your
commanders intention. with rare considera-
tion love and sacrifice.
special representative of international
headquarters was dispatched at a few hours
notice to New York to confer with your
commander upon the whole situation, and
to prevail upon him to at least see his
father before finally persisting in his course.
His brother. Commandant Herbert Booth.
was also urged and ordered to bring the
pressure of flial regard to bear upon the
commanders. as We'll endeavor to throw
light upon his difficulties. His sister. Field
Commander Eva Booth, who was in the
rangements for the generals return was
likewise ordered to New York, with the

we are rapidly approaching the time when
our differences of opinion must be finally
settled by the majority. But there is but one
position ucon which there is any serious
difference of opinion among our Democratic
friends. 1t is a most important one, for it
involves. in my judgment. not only the cred
1t and honor of the country, but the good
faith and material welfare OF all our people
1t cannot be discussed here, but only stated.
If there was any economic policy to which
the Democratic party adhered with more ten
acity than to any other in the old days, it
that the currency used by the people in
the transaction of their business should al
ways be sound and stable basis that
all notes issued by banks should be redeem
that nothing but specie should be made the
legal tender for the payment of debts Now
1t is
PROPOSED TO CONDEMN
this ancient Democratic poIicy-at least so
far as 1t relates to the maintenance of a
sound and stable currency--by authorizing
the free coming of silver at ratio which
shall make the legal tender silver dollar
worth about one-half as much the legal
tender gold dollar. In other words. it is
proposed that instead of continuing the mon
etary system based on a gold standard, where
it waa placed by Democratic legislation dur
ing the administration of Andrew Jackson,
and where 1t has been practically ever since,
it shall be SO changed, to conform to the
monetary system of China, Mexica and the
small South American states
I'VE are asked to adopt a policy which
would result in silver mono-metallism, with
an unlimited issue of silver and the total
disuse OF gold as a money metal, and wheth-
er we will or will not take. this disastrous
policy and incorporate it into our creed is
the great question which as l intimated a
few minutes ago, must now be settled by the
only tribunal which can pass judgment upon
it. This question cannot be evaded if we
would, and ought not to be evaded if we
could.
Honesty is the best policy in politics
For my part, the greatest ambition of my life
is to see the Democratic party, to which ]
have always been attached, retain the posi-
ton which naturally belongs to it, in favor
Of the maintenance of the public credit at al
times and under all circumstances. in favor
of maintaining monetary system which
shall secure to all classes of our citizens
the laborer well as the capitalist-the
best money in the world.
Gentlemen. the Democratic party is not
dead. (Cheers.) The time is not at hand tc
dissolve its organization and distribute its
assets among the Ropulists at large
Cheers.) 1 hope the Democratic party will
enter upon the coming political contest on a
perfectly sound declaration of principles. II
it does. 1t will come out of it with unim-
paired strength with anblemished record
and with courage for the fight.

Yachting Course Changed.

At recent meeting of the directors of the
Minnetonka Yacht club some radical changes
were made which will not only interest club
the lower lake. In brief the club has adopt
ed sailing course for the benefit of the cot
tagers. For years there has been complaint
that 1t was impossible to witness the races
unless followed them around in steam
yacht. The club directors, after considering
the matter in all its phases, decided upon a
course which takes in the entire lower lake
from Gideon's bay to WayZata, beginning and
ending at the club house buoy. The course
will probably be used almost exclusively this
summer and in addition to being a popular
one, it presents an excellent test of seaman
ship.
