DODGING THE ISSUE.

The only important political issue be-
fore the people this year is the finan-
cial question, yet already indications
point strongly to a lodging of that
issue by the politicians. The financial
plank of the Ohio republican platform,
like the Rhode Island and Iowa planks.
is open to any Interpretation one may
see fit to place upon IT. Positive dec
larations on the money question by the
state conventions are very scarce. The
republicans of Rhode Island confined
themselves to the indefinite declaration
that every dollar should be OF equal
value with every other dollar" The
Rhode Island plank is supposed to ex-
press Reeds attitude on the money
question. The Ohio plank. which is
supposed to represent McKinley's view,
and which is almost a reproduction OF
McKinley's statement on the subject
in his recent Chicago speech, is as fol-
lows:
I'VE contend for honest money; for a
currency OF gold. silver and paper.
with which 10 measure our exchanges
that shall be as sound as the govern
ment and as untarnished as its honor;
and TO that end we favor bimetallism
and demand the use Of both gold and
silver as standard money either in ac-
cordance with a ratio 10 be fixed by
an international agreement, II that can
be obtained. or under such restrictions
and such provisions TO be determined
by legislation. as will secure the main
tenance OF the parity OF value OF the
two metals. 50 that the purchasing and
debt-paying power Of the dollar,
whether Of silver gold or paper. shall
be at all gimes equal"

THE BOX OFFICE CLERK.
How He Sells Tickets So as to Make the
Thin House Look Full.


From the Boston Traveller.
The box Office man of one OF our the
aters let me into a little secret the
other day that proves the existence of
gray matter and science behind the
theater window. We were speaking of
the depressing effect Of small audiences
when he remarked:
Il assure you that Ii is a fine art to
distribute a small audience so that the
people in it will not feel Isolated. If the
ticket seller knows his business he will
so apportion a small sale that a sparse
house will be made to look full. This
is done by a nice acquaintance with his
chairs and the science of distribution.
four or five people being seated here.
as many more there, and twice as many
there, the object being to make a little
collection of heads visible in whichever
direction one looks, and the squads so
grouped as TO cover the beggarly array
of empty benches by bringing the heads
in range of one another.
"A clever man will seat an audience
of 300 hundred so that 1T will look one
of 600 or 70O."

IN CONGRESS-.

An early adjournment of congress is
confidently expected. The condition OF
the necessary work is easily described.
The urgent deficiency bill, which car
ries much that ordinarily goes in the
general deficiency bill, the army bill,
the diplomatic, the naval academy, and
the pension appropriation bills already
have become laws. The agricultural
bill is in conference, the Indian and
legislative bills are in the senate COM
mittee. The postoffice bill has passed
the house. The Notifications and naval
bills are about ready for report from
the house committees. The sundry
civil bill has been taken up in the ap-
preparations committee, and will be
ready to report soon. The general de-
ficiency bill, which comes last, is not
expected to occupy much time. The
District Of Columbia bill is completed
except as to the provision for charities
for the recasting of which the bill was
recommitted. 1t may be two or three
weeks before the river and harbor ap-
preparation bill is reported. 1t will
provoke much discussion because it
has grown in the amount of its appro-
priation to an unlocked for extent and
there will be objection to spending so
large a sum as will be called for for
this purpose.
So far as the candidates for the
presidency are concerned, 1t will not
be to their advantage to have the ses-
sion prolonged. and the republicans
will be anxious to have the session
ended in good season before their con-
vention meets. There is said to be a
fear, however, among the republicans
that if they hurry an adjournment the
president may take advantage of that
fact to do something which will make
capital for that party. The New Ha-
ven Register thinks this year is
one of the controlling motives in the
direction of a session about as long as
usual. Speaker Reed is understood to
have expressed scorn for the small poll
iticians who expect TO win some advan-
tage over the administration by camp
ing on the white house stoops. in the
hope that the president will come out
and quarrel with the tramps who have
undertaken to annoy him. The state
ment of the condition Of the appropria-
ton bills is almost convincing that if
the senate and the house were inclined
TO agree with the business men. they
could adjourn in a month.

The trial Of DR.. Jameson and his
associate raiders is the fashionable
event of the London season. Indeed,
the doctor appears to be almost as
popular with the ladies as a murderer
The charge that the prosecution is en-
deavoring to prove is that the expedi-
ton was. from first to last, an attempt
to set up the British flag in the domin-
ions of the friendly Beers and that the
men knew IT. 1t is alleged that Dr.
jameson and his officers were engaged
from the end of November until the
column actually started on December
29 in a military expedition against the
Transvaal. The testimony of the wit
nesses shows that this line will be fol-
lowed, and that evidence relating to
the concentration Of the force at two
stations, rearming it with new weapons
and Maxims and providing remounts
and relays Of supplies for the march
will be produced to prove that the in
vasion was a deliberate and premedi-
tated political conspiracy. 1t is evil
dent that the charge of conspiracy is
to occupy the attention of the court at
some length and the technical legal
points involved will not be relied upon
to prove the case.

These changes are not however likely
to affect the relative strength of the
teams very much. The changes in
strength appear as the season pro-
crosses and old players prove that
they are not able to play with their old
skill, ard the finds" of the season are
developed. Each manager has from
six to 20 youngsters who are ambi-
tious to play in the big league and who
are now being tried in the South
Every year a very few phenomenal ball
players are found among these expert
ments, and the managers lucky enough
to find them are the envy of all the
other managers. Two or three phe-
nomenal discoveries" under good
management will develop a weak club
to one of the strongest in a single sea-
son, as shown by the history of the
Baltimores and Clevelands. while the
breaking down of old players will with
equal rapidity reduce a club from
pennant winner to second division
team. as shown in the history of the
New Yorks and Bostons.
