1t seems inevitable. that Portland must
choose this year between considerable
increase Of the tax rate or the disposal
of some of its available assets. There
are extraordinary expenditures to be net
which cannot well be avoided longer.
Tukey's bridge must be rebuilt,
some vi the schoolhouses need quite ex-
tensiye repairs and there is loud call for
a new school house on Munjoy Hill. The
Back Bay sewer IS also likely to demand
a considerable appropriation. Under
the clause of the constitution forbidding
cities to borrow when their debt exceeds
five per cent of their valuation Port.
land can incur no new debts. Hence
there are but two ways to meet the pres
ent emergency-one is by increasing the
tax rate and the other by disposing of
some Of it's assets. The heroic remedy of
increasing the tax is probably the better
one, but it is not likely to be so popular
as the other.

Tt is said that the Now Jersey Demo-
cratic state convention was ready to in
struct it's delegates for Cleveland
had he given the word, but he
still remains sphin x-llke and the
guessing as to his attitude to-
ward the Democratic nomination still
goes on. 1t requires two-thirds MAORI
ty to nominate in the Democratic CON-
yention, and as Cleveland IS very much
hated by the silver men who will certain
" constitute q third of tho delegates, if
not the majority, it is difficult to see
how he can get the nomination, if he
wants it, unless he deserts the gold stan
dard, which there is hardly possibility
OF his doing. or the two-third rule is
abrogated which would raise terrific
row in the convention and probably lead
to a bolt.

The bond investigation which the
finance committee is to make relates to
the bonds sold to the Rothschilds That
the President made pretty poor trade
for the government in that transaction is
pretty generally believed, though the ad-
ministration has claimed that protec-
ton was secured for the gold reserve that
could not have been got, had the bonds
been sold by public subscription, and
that the loss in price was more than made
up by this increase Of protection. There has
never been any good reason however, to
suspect that the President was actuated
in the business by any unworthy motive
Or derived any personal profit from it.
All he was guilty of if. he was guilty of
anything, was mistake PETER. how
ever, seems to think THAI he can find out
something that has not yet been made
public and the Senate has consented to
let him try. The chances are, however,
that the investigation will amount SIM
ply to rethreshing of old straw

sure parity of value between gold and
silver for use as money throughout the
world
The plank originally reported by the
committee on resolutions was as follows
We are unyielding and uncompromis-
ing in our demand for sound money. We
are in favor of the use of gold, silver and
paper dollars in our currency, all main
ti:ined at parity as to purchasing and
debt paying power. We are opposed TO
any proposition that involves the depre-
citation of any portion of our currency,
and. therefore, are opposed to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver by this
country alone, under present conditions,
believing that suoh coinage would destroy
the parity and depreciate and contract the
currency.
It will ba seen that the great differen ee
between the plank reported and the
plank adopted is that the latter contains
no specific declaration against the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver. While
the inference is not to be drawn from
this difference that the Michigan Repub
licans are in favor of free silver the omls-
sion can but have the effect of somewhat
weakening in public opinion the ale
glance of the Michigan Republicans to
sound money as it is. understood in the
East The resolution of the Republi-
cans of Indiana was much better adapt
ed to the present condition. To declare
in favor of the use of silver to the extent
only that its parity with gold can be
maintained is not necessarily declRra-
tion against free silevr, because it is not
universally admitted that free coinage
would destroy the parity. The silver
men hold that it would not. Doubtless
the Michigan Republicans would hold that
it would, but it would have been better
had they put that opinion in black and
white so that there could be no question
about it.

THE MICHIGAN CURRENCY REsoLU-

The Michigan Republican convention
adopted as substitute for the currency
plank reported by the committee on reso-
buttons the plank relating to the subject
adopted by the Republican national con-
vention OF 1892. 1t reads as follows:
The American people, from tradition
and interest, favor bimetallism, and the
Republican party demand the use Of both
gold and silver as standard money, with
such restrictions and under such provis-
ions, to be determined by legislation, as
will secure the maintenance of the parity
Of values of the two metals, so that the
purchasing and debt paying power of the
dollar. whether of silver, gold or paper,
shall be at all times equal. The interests
of the producers of the country, its farm
ers and its workingmen, demand that
every dollar, paper or coin. ISSUED by the
government, shall be as good as any
other. We commend the w1se and patri-
otto steps already taken by our govern
anent to secure an international confer

According to the Argus, Hon. W. W.
Thomas, Jr., declines under any consid-
erations to become q candidate for gov
ernor. 1t was not supposed that he would
consent. 1t is to be taken for granted
that if Mr.. Thomas so desires, he will
receive the appointment to the Swedish
mission from the next administration.
That would surely be in accordance with
the eternal fitness of things.
A DISCORDANT NOTE.
(Bridgton News.)
"Rumors of an attempt to enlist this
or that candidate in opposition to the
Hon. LleweIlyn Powers for the Republi.
can nomination for governor, float about
now and then." remarks the Waterville
Daily Mail True; and that simply de-
monstrates that the rank and file are dis
posed TO have something to say about
the matter. There are mutterings OF dis
satisfaction all along the line ut the sit
uation and there in considerable expec-
fancy along the ground-tier that before
the Bangor convention shall have accom-
plished its work something else may he
''in sight" than the Aroostook land
