S. A. T., Noblesville: In the last Senate
there were eighty-nine members. but the
Senate which will come in March 4, 1897
will have but eighty eight there being a
vacancy in Delaware and another in Ken
lucky. As at present constituted the Re-
publcans have nominaly. forty-four Sen
ators. but Teller of Colorado, Dubois of
Idaho. Pettigrew of South Dakota, Mantle
of Montana, Cannon of Utah and Squire of
Washington have practically joined the sill
yer party. The only real Republicans
about whose successors to be elected by
the Legislatures chosen in November there
is doubt are Perkins of California and
Squire of Washington. The Republicans
have already elected Republicans to sue
coed Gibson of Maryland and Brce of
Ohio after March T. The Republicans count
on electing successors to Palmer in Illinois,
Voorhees, in Indiana, Hill in New York and
Villas in Wisconsin. Five of the six silver
ties who will not vote with the Republic
ans until free-coinage bill shall be passed
will either be returned or remain in the
Senate. Squire of Washington is likely to
have a straight Republican successor. AS
Stunning that such will be the case. the Re
publicans, after March 4, will have seven
new Senator's to make good the loss of the
six silverites. That is, there will be forty
five Republicans who may be counted on
to vote for a Republican tariff act. In
South Dakota and Kansas there is a pos
sibility that the Republicans may defeat
Kyle and PETER, Populists. On the whole,
the Republicans have a good fighting
chance to control the next Senate on tariff
and revenue measures, even if a majority
of the whole may favor free silver.

BOArd of Safety Considers 1t and Es
Inmates for Next Year.


Inmates for Next Year.
At leeting of the Board of Safety last
night at which meeting were present
Mayor Taggart and Controller Johnson, it
was practically decided that the Gamewell
system of patrol telegraph should be
adopte the Gamewell Company was
telegr to send an estimate of the cost
of pU in such a plant 1t is the de-
sire to have the estimate in before the
appropriations for the year are made. SUI
perintendent Colbert told the board that
he would rather have the system than fifty
additional patrolmen.
1t was discovered that there would be
slight deficiency in the appropriation for
the police force pay roll and the super
intendent was ordered to suspend two pa
trolmen from Oct. l to Jan. l. Special po-
lice powers were granted to r. M. Machett,
to be exercised at the plant of the Indian
apois Stove Company.
The charges against patrolman John
Weible were dismissed on the recommends
ton of Superintendent Colbert. Albert Sed-
enberg charged that Weible had caused
him and his wife to separate. Sept Is was
the date set for hearing the charges pre-
ferred by Miss Julia Kelly of 534 South
Illinois street, against patrolmen Mathey
and Tomlnson. Miss Kelly charges that
ing of Aug. 80 and conducted, themselves
in an unbecoming manner ordering her
were not disturbing anybody nor doing
anything which should prompt a police
mans interference. 1t is charged that one
of the officers said: IF you haven't got
money to throw at the birds you better
stop that there noise" The board did not
think there was much in the case and was
going to dismiss it, but the officers ex-
pressed a desire that it be investigated and
a time for a hearing fixed.
The board appointed Clinton T. loves
Republican. and Henry Wachstetter, Dem
ocrat. as substitute firemen.
Some time was spent upon the estimates
for the next years appropriations and Con-
troller Johnson was lavish in the of
his pruning knife He made several big
cuts in the requests of the board but was
still unable to bring the total down to the
point where the administration would like
to see it.

Farmer, Clay City: l. The claim of
the silverites that there was $50 of money
per capita in 1865 is false. The official re-
port of the Secretary of the Treasury July
1, 1865. gives the money in the country as
follows: Fractional currency, 500 1874, SIT;
State bank notes, s1a2, 1913, 63S; greenbacks
$431, 066, 42S national bank notes S146 137, $780,
total, s745 327. 254 or $20.57 per capita. AS
the average price of the gold dollar (there
were no silver dollars) for the year 1865
was $1.57 in greenbacks. the purchase pow
er of the paper money was less than two
thirds of the above figures, or $49S. 325 236;
to this should be added $25. 900 of coin
used in California. The seven-thirty notes
and other interest bearing notes which the
infationists claim to have been money were
never recognized by law or treasury off,
GERS as such. 2. The average value of
the greenback dollar for the year 1865
601a cents; but its value in gold fuctuated
from a little less than 46 cents in January
to "a cents in May, after the close of the
war.
