along about 4 o'clock on the morniug Of the
o<th, and Ia the frscas Pyle was shot and
killed. the robbers thereupon making off.

may nv Of all the people except the
bond dealers. to die. to go out Of exist
ence by one election. In Ohio more
than one-half of the people are in favor
of bi-metallism: seventy-two votes
changed in three counties would have
sent silver Senator from the State OF
Ohio. Kentucky also has declared for
the free coinage of silver, notwithstand-
ing the fact that in 1896, under the in
fluence of the Cleveland administration,
1t went the other way. New York GER
tainly did not declare for the gold
standard when it went Democratic by
$4,000 in 1897. Nebraska has Endorsed
the free coinage of silver. In 1900 the
line will be drawn distinctly between
the gold standard and the double stand
ard. All Europe has followed the lead
Of Great Britain and refused to join the
Republicans in a monetary conference.
1t is more than probable that in the
elections of 1898 there will be a Con-
gress in favor of the money of the con-
stitution.
Speaker Reed is the House of Repre-
sentatives; he is opposed to any cur
rency legislation. The Senate as it now
stands is committed against any reform
measure which does not embody the
free coinage of silver, but this question
is sure to come up and be one of the
leading questions in the next Congress.
Let it be discussed; agitation is the only
way by which the people are educated,
and Congressman need education about
as much as any class Of people.

HANNA AND FORAKER.

The Republican party in Ohio is di-
vided into two hostile camps and the
knives are bristling. 1t is admitted that
the Foraker following will pull down
Hanna if they can. The Hanna claim is
that they will not dare make the at
tempt. That is not good basis for con-
fidence.
From the day Joseph B. Foraker be-
came prominent factor in Ohio poll
tics, fourteen or fifteen years ago, to
the present time, it has been well known
that M. A. Hanna disliked him, his me-
thods, and his political associates. For
the same length of time ]. B. Foraker
has had no love for NJ A. Hanna. Cir
cumstances have at times compelled the
two to work together in apparent har-
mony but no one was deceived, least of
all the two principals Each was dis
trustful of the other and guarded him
self for treacherous side stab as well
as from the blows of the common foe in
front.
Foraker knows where the blow came
from that laid him low in 1889. He has
not forgotten it. He E<s been waiting
all these years to pay off that old score
with accumulated interest and the time
for liquidation seems to be at hand.
Nothing that has occurred since that
year has placed Foraker and his riends
under obligations to the McKinley-H
ma faction that were not more than re-
paid in the campaign for the presidency.
The old score remains unsettled.
Hanna has good reason for believing
that Foraker will do him an i'll turn if
opportunity offers and that he is dill
gently endeavoring to make an oppor-
tunity Foraker knows that if Hanna is
elected to the Senate he will push his
colleague aside and use all the power of
his own position and influence with the
administration to prevent Foraker re-
turning to the Senate n 1908. 1t is al
ready given out whether Hanna is elect
ed or defeated, Foraker is to be only a
''one term SENATOR" the Hanna power
is to be used for his destruction in any
event.
Therefore if Foraker is not to have a
second term it would be revenge in
advance" to prevent Hanna having any
term at all, beyonds the few months of
his substitute Senatorship by grace Of
Bushnell. the Forakerite. Revenge is
sweet, especially to" Foraker.
1t is very pretty fight to the specta-
tors on the grand stand.

the universal desire for better, aud
stricter immigration laws to raise the
old Know Nothing sry Of America
for Americans!" hoping through this
to regain some OF the ground they
have lost with the American working
man, to whom the Republican party
has ever proven a false friend.
That our immigration laws are bad
and need amendment. even to the
point of absolute prohibition of for
eign immigration, if need be, is hardly
a question of dispute; all are agreed
that the hordes of debased and ignor-
ant laborers that have been pouring
thousands and forcing American labor
out Of employment, should be abso-
lutely cut off; it is a class we do not
want; it is uncongenial to American
civilization and will never become as
simulated. But WHO ARE PRIMAR-
lily RESPONSIBLE FOR THE IN
PRODUCTION OF THIS CLASS INTO
THE AMERICAN LABOR MARKET?
Who but the very people that deceived
American labor with the false promise
of protective tariff and are now pre-
pairing to hoodwink American labor
again by offering to cure the very ills
that the protective tariff beneficiaries
brought about through their Unsuitable
greed?
Who have been the chief employers
and importers of this low and vicious
cheap foreign contract labor in this
country but the highly protected man
ufacturers and coal barons? When
the conditions under high protective
tariff became so desperate that an
American could not make living
wages, then the high tariff millionaires
locked their American workmen out
and imported these ignorant foreigners
to take their places in factory, mine,
shop and field.
Shut out this foreign horde, in
Heavens name! 1t can't be shut out
too soon; but let the American work.
ingman take no stock in the promises
and pretensions of those politicians
who have betrayed him at every step
in the past. They are not and never
have been working in the interests of
American labor.

This is little difficult to answer,
because we have not the data at land
from the books Of the city. But as
nearly as the Register can ascertain
and the figures are believed to be ap-'
prOximately 800 will have
been expended the present year, on ac-
count of payments of interest, princi-
pal and expenses of city loans, OF
which amount about $32 900 is for
principal, and about $4,000 for in
terest, the remainder being chargeable
to expenses. This is as nearly as we
can get at it, at this time Under the
proposed refunding ordinance, the in
terest charge for the first ten years,
will be $21 900 per year-or about S12,-
600 per annum less than the interest
charge this year, as we figure it. This
may look like good thing-yet it is
really not nearly as good as it looks
at first glance. For instance:
The interest charge for the present
year is, we will say, $4,000. AS $780,
600 was paid upon principal, the in
terest charge this year is about 81 900
less than last; next year it will be
$1,000 less than this; in 1899 it will be
YO,CUV l6SS tldu ILLS yGdI Ill lJUU IL
will be $500 less than this year; in
1901, $1,000 less; in 1902, $4,000 less,
and in 1903, s11, 400 less, when we will
have approximately caught up to the
saving made by the proposed refund
ing Ordinance-with this difference,
and mark it: That under the refund
ing ordinance, by 1903 we shall have
paid $4,000 in the aggregate for in
terest, without reducing the principal
one dollar; whereas, under the present
system of paying some of the principal
off annually, we shall have paid $780,,
600 of principal. Follow this with the
next four years, which brings us to the
time when Series Az of the refunding
bonds are to be paid, and we will have
reduced our debt principal something
over $4,000 more, cutting our inter-
est charge far below the annual in
terest on the refunding loan, and
thenceforward, with each recurring
year, the advantage will grow greater
in favor of the present system, and the
present city debt will have completely
disappeared before one-third of the re-
funding loan has been lifted.
The refunding ordinance will cost
the city something like S475, 900 for in
terest and expenses alone, before the
debt can be wiped out, 100000 of
which must be paid before dollar of
principal can be lifted, and after that
for twenty-five years, the interest only
grows less at the rate Of $40 per year.
Under the present system our interest
drops at the rate of nearly $4,000 per
year, while the debt drops more than
100000 per year. 1t appears to the
Register to be the better policy to
economic a little in annual expendi-
lures, and keep on paying off the
debt year by year, for this course in a
very few years will make available an
nuallyl az large sum of interest saved.

EXPENSE OF LIVING.

A Chicago contemporary has made
UP a small list of prime necessaries
that have advanced in price since the
present prosperity administration
came into power, which shows that the
necessities of life are much higher now
than they were a year ago. A few
examples will illustrate this matter
clearly:
Flour is so per cent higher than it
was last year.
Sugar is nearly IS per cent. higher.
Pork is about 80 per cent. higher.
Mutton 25 per cent. higher.
Apples 100 per cent. higher.
Molasses per cent. higher.
Corn 10 per cent. higher.
Butter Is to 20 per cent. higher.
Eggs 10 per cent. higher.
Potatoes rs per cent. higher
This list could be greatly extended
as prices for all necessities of life have
largely increased since the Republican
administration has been in power, but
enough has been given to show the
facts Of the case. ,
By the way, has any one heard of a
commensurate rise in wages? With
expenses climbing all the way from Z
to 100 per cent. and wages stationary
or falling lower, what evidence of pros
perity has the workingman?
The Dingley tariff has not only pro-
duced a deficit in revenue, but it has
also very largely increased the ex-
penses of living in this country AS
this is the only thing in the way of
legislation which the Republican party
has accomplished so far, the people
are not enthusiastic over the pros
perity" which Mckinley and his
friends have brought

Science that is always discovering
thing, has now made a discovery OF
lncandescent gas at Crefeld, Germany
a single jet of which, it is said, can
emit a light of more than thousand
candle-power at cost of less than
one-third that of an ordinary electric
light of 400 candle-power. By the new
light fine print can be read at a dis
lance of 100 feet, and it is thought
that by the aid of this discovery in
time even McKinley's Cuban policy
may be discerned.

GETTING AN INTELLIGENT JURY

Boston Post.
In preparation for the trial of Kelley,
the Somersworth murderer, the twelve
jurymen were selected and impaneled
within less than six hours. AIT the trial
of Martin Thorn for the murder of Gull
densuppe at Long Island City, a jury
was procured in an equally short time
To get jury in half a day to try muir
der case is almost unprecedented. But
the jurors in these two cases are said to
be far above the average in character
and intelligence. PROFESSIONALLY pub
lie confidence in the verdicts reached by
these jurors, selected in less than half a
day of examination, will be greater than
if weeks had been wasted in excluding
from the box men of intelligent opin-
ion.

EHE CURRENCY AND THE G. y. p.

". T.
In its platform the Republican party
is solemnly pledged to restore bi-metalI-
ism in this country. 1t is true that there
was an international string to it. 1t sent
its agents abroad to get permission of
England for the United States to have a
monetary system. Degenerate sons of
right worthy sires. In 1892, more than
one hundred years ago, the people of the
United States, then barely more than
1900 900, after a brave war against the
mother country, dared to establish its
own monetary system on bi-metallic
basis, giving equal rights to gold and
silver, and did not deign to send COM
missioners to England to ask what kind
of monetary system they should have.
But the great Republican party, a party
of about 100000 votes, did not dare to
be truly American and stand up as
their fathers did for independent free
coinage or for any independent none
tary system.
The procedure on the lines of this
platform during the election in 1896 was
double dealing; in the east it was the
gold standard, in the west it was bi-met-
allism, subject to the approval of course,
of European powers. So in 1897 it is
clearly manifest that the coinage ques-
ton is not settled; that free coinage
will not down; that it is too much in
the interest OF the plain people. and one
