IL change in the government at Wash

country was i'm state OF war.
Gold is again flowing Europcwar'l

congress the gold reserve will be below
the Sioo.ooo.O00 in n short time. While
the Notifications appropriation bill was
under discussion in the senate the other
day, MIR. German. the democratic Lead
er, offered an amendment authorizing
the secretary of the treasury. with the
approval of the president, i'm order 10
provide money necessary for the cx.
ecution of that and other appropriation
bills, To issue three per cent. certificates
of Indebtedness to the amount of SioO..

Mr.. Mills objected tn this proposition
contending that the only lcgitimat,
measure to supply revenue was taxa.

its duty was plainly before IL.
That is undeniable. A serious condi.

for deficit, or by any inveighing against
democratic shortcomings. The impera.
tive need of the hour is the adoption of
n policy which will supply sufficient
money to enable the goverhmcst 10
meet its obligations. IL would be lam.
entable if the adoption of such DO.
icy were physical impossibility, but
there is sound reason for believing this
IL not the case. In times OF grenteI
financial depression than the present,
and with the additional burden of un
enormous war debt, the United States
government was able not only TO meet
all current debt, but steadily to reduce
the volume of direct and internal taxa
ton.
What was done at that time can he
done again, and without resort to sucl,
clumsy, unscientific devices, as that
proposed in the senate the other day by
the democratic leader.
IL is fortunate for the country that the
time is close at hand when change in
the national government will be effect
ed. If we had to endure two years more
of democratic rule the condition of the
country might become pitiable. This
consideration furnishes strong argu-
ment against lengthening the presider,.
tial term and limiting the incumbent to
one term. Suppose we had to bear tw j
years more of Mr.. Cleveland? What a
terrible fate! How forbidding The pros.
pect!
But we shall Mt least escape that ca.
lamity, and IL the majority of the people
are wise, the nations sails will be so
trimmed that after March 4, 1897, we
shall have sailed into peaceful and un
troubled waters. Albany Journal.

Mentioned To Run with Mckinley.
The nomination for president at the
st. Louis convention being assured, pub
lie mind naturally turns to the question
of n suitable candidate for vice presi-
dent from among the many eminent
and worthy candidates in the field.
Among them, Hon. g. A. Hobart. Of
New Jersey. vice president of the re-
publican national committees; Hon.
Thomas II. Reed. of Maine; his excel.
lency. Charles Warren Lippitt. OF Rhode
Island; United States Senator O. II.
Platt, of Connecticut; Hon. III. Clay
Evans, of Tennessee, and Hon. Corr
nelius n. Bliss, of New York, treasures
OF the republican national COMMITTEES,
command public attention.
Much has been said regarding most
OF these candidates, excepting Mr.. Blise.
Assuming that the presidential nou6
nation will go to Ohio, IL Is quite natuxK
that the vice presidential nominat1o
should come from the east. Mr.. Bit

business men In the country who tall

Mr.. Bliss tx great, big, broad, sem
sible business man, and socially of the

Ing and character, one of the most prom
inent United States senator's said the
other day: az shall be ut liberty to
give Mr.. Bliss my most earnest influence
and support for vice president. Mr..
Bliss represents every policy and prin-
ciple of the best kind of republicanism,
and his candidacy would he n source OF
positive strength To the ticket, no mat
ter who was at it's head"
This high compliment was emphasized
by Maj. j. Il. Hanson, of Georgia, one
OF the most prominent manufacturers
of the south, who was with the SEN
ator, and said: "It will afford me a
great deal OF pleasure to contribute In
any way that / can TO the nomination of

Plenty OF Vacancies inthe Navy.

WAsWNGToN. June 13.-For the only
time in 20 years there are more vacan-
cies in the lower grade of the navy
than Annapolis graduates TO fill them.
The unusual number of vacancies has
been caused by large number OF re-
tirements, principally young officers,
who have broken down physically. In
the last two months no less than half a
dozen officers have applied TO be re.

senator 10 succeed David j.. HILL The
next president and congress are TO deal
with the tariff and other questions
vitality affecting the pablo interest.
Under such circumstances no argu-
trent should be necessary 10 convince
republicans of the Importance of har-
mony and combined effort i'm behalf of
the great principles of their party
Never was there a louder call for united
and aggressive work. The country looks
TO the republican party 20 restore the
prosperity lost through democratic in
capacity, and TO make business and in
dustrial conditions safe and stable by
wise tariff and currency action.
There may be preferences as to candi-
dates; there always are. The rank and
file Of the party nre free TO express their
wishes, and IL is right that the ma jority
should rule. But there should be no
antagOnisms cngendering losting bit
terness and alterations; no personal
assaults, the only effect Of which is TO
stir up animosity and furnish ammuni-
ton for the enemy. The republican
party Of the union and OF this great

10 present a firm front and march on

antics.
Ynere were sixteen displays In the
main performance. besides the great
hipproorome races, which consisted or
fourteen distinct events. The aero
batic exhibitions were as usual, numer-
GUS and very good, varying but little
from those OF previous years, although
the critical observer would notice oc-
casiOnally new and difficult trick.
The innovations, however, were prin-
cipally In the variety of apparatus
used, notably In the flying trapeze act.
where the lady gymnast was hurried
into space by means of strong spring
apparatus.
Display number four was entirely by
the new woman, who held supreme
sway in the arena. Their costumes
were OF the uo-to-date order and their
acting whether in the acrobatic lire or
in eQuestriauism was executed clev-
erly and with grace and ease. or the
bareback equestrian acts, while it can
lie said that they Were all good, yet
! they were q repetition of the nimbie
| teats CT circus riders seen here before.
Lofty tumbling over elephants and
camels, which speciality has been some
time eliminated from their exhibitions
was feature CT yesterdays show.
Trained animals of all kinds from the
small dog to the large elephants Were
seen III every ring and performed tricks
and fcats with much cleverness.
The most popular exhibit of the
entire performance without doubt
was the majestic equine acts of
fifty-one horses, trained by John
! O'Brien and conducted by him
also. The platform was arranged in
the shape of pyramid with one horse
and rider. MIR. O'Brien. at the apex
The other fifty horses were standing OF
prancing on the several circular tiers
that form the pyramid. and at the
trainers command they moved about
rapidly in concentric rings presenting
an exceptionally beautiful and animat-

The most daring aerial act ever seen
in the city was done by the Sibons, Eng
lish artists One Of the male members
| or the company made d most phenom-
email Hight through the air from q fly-
| ing trapeze. 1t caused those in the au-
dience to hold their breath. Leon la
Roche, while enclosed in metallic globe
made the ascent and descent Of 81
spiral incline, apparently defying all
the laws of gravitation. The eques-
trian act of the Meers sisters was also
a novelty of more than passing merit
The last numbers Of the show were the
usual hinoodrome races, during which
an exhibition Of high hurdle Jumping
by horses was given and also of steeple
chase racing. About one thousand per-
sons We're so we'll pleased with the

Last night the grotlnds We're again

given was equal to that of the after

COMMON PLEAS COURT.
Jury in n Suit for Wages Could Net
Agree,

Common pleas court was in session
only during the afternoon yesterday for
the consideration Of cases before the
jury. The suit in .he main room Of G..
c. Steere against d. X. Oakley was not
finished at adjournment. Mr.. Steere
and his son were on the stand testifying
to amounts paid at various times to
Mr.. Oakley on a mortgage held by him
against the plaintiff. Mr.. Steere claims
that he paid $1,000 too much and Of
iered papers in evidence hoping to
prove that fact to the satisfaction Of the
jury.
The jury in the case Of Stephen Evans
against William r. Smith brought in a
verdict for the defendant, and in the
case Of Michael Evers against the same
defendant the jury could not agree and
was discharged from further considera-
ton of the case. Both suits were for
small amounts of wages.
The suit of Edwards & Barthold
against Martha Pritchard for a debt of
about 500 was called for trial before
Judge Gunster in No. 2 and will be re-
sumed today.
