often contradictory apd never too re-

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

At the Academy Of Music this even-
Ing Rice's company will be seen in
"l492." Good scenic effects and elab-
crate costumes predominate in the pro-
duction. New faces will be seen in
many of the characters. but in no case
will the individual excellence be per-
mitted to digress from the standard by
which Mr.. Rice has heretofore gained
the hearty appreciation Of the public
from Maine to California.

charmingly sung by Jessie Bartlett

THE BEST RECOMMENDATION.

What is admittedly the best recon-
mendation contained in the report was
that when contracts are awarded for
sewering that they be made to include
house connections as far as the curb
line, the efficacy Of which Is readily
apparent. There are at present. ac-
cording to the report, 140.S2 miles Of
travelled street in the city, and only
0.03 miles of sewers, so it can be seen
it Is not too late to adopt the sugges-
tion.
Another important recommendation

OPENING OF STREETS

In the way of opening streets. some-
thing very much desired by the general
public. very little was accomplished dur
ing the past year. The obstacles and
barriers to progress placed in the way by
property owners and the great variance
in values placed upon such property for
taxable purposes, and the amount asked
by property owners, when the improve
ments were actually demanded, may be
best illustrated by comparison Of the fol-
lowing figures:

THIS amount was ACTUALLY palu.
Your determination not to authorize any
morel grading of streets unless every
property owner on the line of the proposed
Improvement first voluntarily enters into
an agreement to release the city from any
and all claims for damages which might
be filed on account of said grading was
a wise course, and will save to the city
many tens of thousands of dollars.
Property owners have in the past petit
toned your honorable bodies to grade
the streets in front of their respective
properties and after the work was per-
formed some Of them enterd suit against
the city for damages, receiving from IS
to $50 for every dollar the grading cost
them, which, of course, was very easy
way Of making an honest 90 dollar, but
at the same time being rather unfair to
the general taxpayer.

We have rarely read more in

pretending to be connected history

episode from DeSoto's search for
raasures, down to present times.
The book is most entertaining and
instructive.

Bryan. The Populist vote in Ken
lucky in 1892 was 23,5OO. Had our
full vote been enlisted for Bryan, he
would most certainly have carried
the state, but the Indiana tactics
prevailed in Kentucky also, and Nc
Kinley won because of the stupidity
OF Democratic. leaders in not realiz-
ing that the Populist voters could
not be delivered, like cattle, to those
who had bargained for them on
fusion deals.
The more the reader studies the
table of figures we take from the
Washington Post, the more clearly
it will be seen that the Democrats
lost the case because they violated
the St. Louis compact.
Contracts, whether express or i'm
piled, are as binding In politics as In
business, and 10 party can violate
them with impunity.
In trying to force our men to
make complete surrender, and to
take both Bryan and Sewall, the
Democrats simply put one straw too
much on the patient cancels back.
Had the Democratic leaders furn-
ished ever SO small share of the
patriotism, and ever SO small por-
ton of the "risiDg above party, "
Bryan would have been elected.
But they thought they could swal-
low us in the West, aud crush US in
the South, and they sacrificed Bryan
in the effort to destroy Populism.

France and Germany, but in France
the use of silver is much larger.
The first nation to adopt the gold
standard was England. She adopted
the g Did standard nominally in 1916,
but practically net until three years
later, for in 1916 England was on
paper basis. Germany which adopt
ed the single silver standard in 1857
took steps looking towards the estab.
lishment of the gold standard in
1871, but it was not until July, 1873,
that she demonetized silver, under
took to melt down her silver coin,
sell it for gold aud establish the sin
gle gold standard. The Scandins-
Wan nations adopted the single gold
standard at the same time. In Sep
tetnber 1878 France restricted the
free coinage of silver and three
years later entirely suspended such
coinage, but has never undertaken to
discard the silver coin she has in use
or to treat it otherwise than as on an
equality with gold. The action of
France in restricting and then sus-
pending the coinage of silver on pri-
vate accoun, was followed by the
other nations of the Latin Union
Belgium, Switzerland, Italy and
Greece,-and Spain suspended the
coinage of silver in 1878. Holland,
which had established the single sill
yer standard in place of the bimetal-
lie, standard in 1917, suspended the
coinage of silver in 1872 and opened
her minis to the coinage of gold on
private account in 1877.
