Public Opinion.


and because the Hawaiians want us to
have 1t.
Washington Post: The Pension Bu-
reau Is public institution. II is a mon
ument to the courage and devotion Of
patriotic men. 1t ought not to be made
political machine.
Providence Journal: The appearance
Of Haiti in the market for a loan Of
$6,000,000 reminds us that her credit
is much better than that Of some larger
Countries-Spain and Turkey, for ex-
ample.
Denver Republican: The gold currency
commission may prepare all the bills
that it pleases for the benefit Of the
national banks, but not one Of them will
get through the present United States
Senate.
Harper's Round Table: The highest
duty Of every American citizen is to vote;
the next highest duty is to go to the
primary and take part in the govern
ment Of the organization which Is to
govern the State or county.
New York Evening Sun: The clerical
refOrmers have entered on new cru
sade against football. And yet some of
our divinity students have been the
fiercest and sturdiest of football players
while fitting themselves to fight the
devil.
Norfolk Landmark: The victory of the
Democratic ticket in Indianapolis is but
another proof that the inhabitants of
our cities are becoming more and more
determined to select their municipal
governments with reference to munich
pal issues. No sign Of the times is more
encouraging.
Chicago Chronicle: 1t is gratifying to
know that the President is resolved not
to do anything rash because it would
damage our business prospects. 1t
would be still more gratifying to know
that he was not the sort Of man to do
rash things under any circumstances
But let us give him such credit as is his
due.
Kansas City Journal: Neither our navy
nor our army Is really as large as it
ought to be to retain our standing and
insure our rights among the nations Of
the world. The recent Improvements in
the character and number Of our battle
ships are a matter for cOngratulation.
Money spent in this way is not money
wasted, by any means.
Pittsburg Dispatch: The project for
erecting a monument of Tubal Cain in
the Plttsburg harbor is one that should
commend itself to public opinion. No
where have his disciples brought the art
of working in metal to such degree of
perfection as here, and the proposed
design is calculated to appeal to the
artistic sense of the fitness of things.
Omaha Bee: New York banks are
complaining of too much gold and too
little currency and at the same time
joining in the chorus for the retirement |
Of the greenback. In the meantime the |
American currency system Of gold, sill |
yer and paper, issued on the gold stand |
ard and every dollar exchangeable for !
100 cents in gold, is serving the pur-
pose tolerably we'll.
Detroit Free Press 1t is worth a
great deal to the taxpayers to know
that partisan policies have place in
their electoral event in November be-
cause it suits the will, pleasure, con-
NeHl6HCe OF caprice OF Cne fOrdkGrS,
Platts, Quiggs and other selfshly in
terested politicians to have it so. Their
game is to put party politics into every

and all who hold or covet fat place.
Philadelphia Times: Young Germany
has asserted itself as the rival of Great
