WHY 1T FAILS.

An Eminent German Tells Why He Re-
Isves she Gold Standard VIII BE FALL
ure.
DIR. Otto Arendt. a distinguished
member of the Prussian house of depu-
ties and the acknowledged leader of
the bimetallists in the German silver
convention of 1894, discusses THE Out
look for Silver" in the current number
of the North American Review, and
freely considers the chances of bimet-
allism in Europe and America. He
reaches the conclusion that the adop-
ton of bimetallism by all the leading
nations of the world is not as far dis.
tant as many people believe, and he
points out very clearly the serious mis-
takes of any country now saddling
itself with the single gold standard.
DIR. Arendt points out why the gold
standard fails in very clear manner.
That universal gold standard might
be introduced is conceded, he says.
But that it is practically impossible to
obtain the gold necessary for that pur-
pose is to-day admitted by the most
inveterate gold men. Accordingly,
the typical gold man of to-day always
demands the gold standard only for
his country. In London the say.
ing is that England must adhere
to the gold standard, but that it is
very much to be desired that the rest
of the world should adopt bimetallism.
But the gold standard man of Germany
wishes to have his country in agree
ment with England on the money
standard. Austria-Hungary does not
wish to depart from the German stand-
ard, nor Roumania from that of Aus.
tria-Hungary; and thus the present
state of affairs necessarily leads to the
extension of the gold standard, which
is everywhere recognized as dangerous
and impossible Herald.

POLICE IN A WRANGlE.


Headquarters.
There was disgraceful scene at
police headquarters early Sunday
morning which threatened serious
disruption of the entire department.
Men who wear the blue and are
entrusted with the protection of the
people deiiad one another with
clinched fists and asserted their re-
spective positions in language which
would make man blush with
shame. The difficulty started over
a question of authority. Two officers
were having d wordy battle when a
third made an appearance. He was
sailed into by the man who evident
ly had taken few scoops
too many under his belt and
severely abused. The officer stood
the offense for awhile, when he raised
a chair and started after his supe-
rior when another officer interfered.
Then there was a general battle.
It iiualiy became necessary to call
Chief Etzel's residence. The head of
the department asked to hear all
sides of the trouble. He was told.
But it was little too early for him
to come up town; SO he hung the re-
ceiver on the bed post and resumed
his journey up Snooze avenue.

FINISHING UP FIVE.
Structural Work Of Another
Bridge Span.
THAT NEXT TO THE DRAW

Flooring Going Rapidly Forward Under
the Direction of the Cover nment Tracks
on the Completed Observation-Disclosures
Up the Construction.
The structural work of span five Of
the Rock Island bridge has been
about finished by the Phoenix Bridge
company. The floors are to be put
in now and some tightening up to be
done by the contractors before going
to the next span. which is four.
The contractors put in the upper
deck of steel and do the painting, but
the government puts in the lower
floor and walks. On the draw span
there is decided change in the ap-
pearance OF the wagon deck. The
government crew is making rapid
progress and will be ready for the
next span before it is ready for them.
The space between the car tracks is
being paved with oaken blocks on
ends in asphalt and filled in between
with sand and asphalt. This style
Of roadway will be much preferable
to the old style, both in durability
and character. AS the bridge is
much wider than formerly, there
will be plenty of room outside the
street car tracks for wheelmen to
ride without being in danger Of fall
ing in front of car or being knocked
from their steel steeds by double
trees OF high truck wagons.
The Car Track.
The street car company is doing
some work on the bridge also. At
the Rock Island end and on the ISL
and the tracks are being relaid. The
curve at tho entrance to the bridge
from the island side is being put
down and the company assures that
as quickly as span is finished the
men will be on hand to lay the street
car tracks. On the draw span the
tracks are all down and the neces-
sary paraphernalia is being put in
place to equip the electric wire sys-
tenn on the shortest notice possible.
way of the commencement of the
next span, and are making prepare.
tions to raise the bridge above an
other span. They expect TO finish
their work within the next three or
four weeks at the most.
Supt. Simm mons states that by De-
cember the work will be completed,
but it is thought that the date is
rather early. At any rate next year
will see the new bridge giving SER
