A GOOD ORDER.

The board of county commits
sioners yesterday ordered that
a new building be erected at the
county home and work house to
be used as a dining hall and as
a Chapel to hold DEVOTIONAL ex-
ercises in.
This is a good days work for
the commissioners and the en-
tire county should feel thankful
to them for thus providing for
the aged and lnfrm, who are
deprived of what they were used
to in their better days. The
building was suggested some
time ago Ia year or more) by
the Minister'S Association who
recognized the fact that such 6
building was needed.
Last September the CRANE
jury visited tn, home and re
commended to his honor, Judg'
McIyer, and the board of count,
commissioners that the building
was needed badly and aske'
that it be erected at once
Judge McIver re marked at tn
time that it was good sugges
ton and should have been al
tended to long ago.
We repeat that it is a goo
days work for our count
dads and the building wi
stand as a monument to the
memory in the years that are
, come.

/ Still the banks are closing all
over the country. Tuesday there |
were eight failures and yester-
day, account of which is given
in another column, there were
several more. In the face OF
this startling state of affairs
those who favor gold monomet-
allism, for such are those who
voted for the Mark Hanna, Nc
fKinley, Buckner crowd, have
the cl eek al d gall to stand up
and say that the single gold
standard is best for the nation.
One northern paper remarked
the other day, with a slnr, that
nearly all of the failures are oc
curing in the south and west.
OF course they are. The single
gold standard, as we have con
tended all along, works more
injury in the south and west
than it does IN the east and any
poor man in any section of the
J union simply voted against his
own interests when he voted
for the eastern gold crowd, and
already they are beginning te
realize that fact.

TRYING TO SCARE US.

Last Saturday morning the
London spectator in an article
on the position of the United

by the Cuban question, after re-

government has had an unpleas.

the European powers, proceeds
to explain the reasons for the
European antagonism to the
United States and points out
that the great financiers of Paris
who told Spanish bonds are
alarmed at the possibility that
that Spain, after fighting to the
bitter end might be compelled
to suspend payment and con-
sequently they are urging the
French government to intervene
between Washington and Mad

AIR MOTORS ONCE MORE.
Misunderstanding Between Receiver
Schoepf and the Commissioners

Misunderstan ding Between Receiver
Schoepf and the Commissioners.
Somehow or ether the Commissioners
Receiver Schoepf in relation to their wishes
in the air motor controversy.
Now it appears they were not understood
in their approval of the air motor to be
used by the road. Receiver Schoepf spoke
in his application for a permit of the adop-
ton Of the Hoadley-knight motor, while
the Commissioners have never approved
that motor, but compromise device which
covered essentials from the Hoadley-Knight
motor and other motors.
This afternoon the Commissioners wrote
the following letter to Receiver Schoepf
upon the subject:
with reference to your application of
the 5th instant to equip the lines of the
lexington and Soldiers Home railway and
the Belt railway with Hoadley-Knight air
motor cars, the Commissioners invite at
tention to the fact that they have not APP
proved of the Hoadley- knight system. The
first car tested equipped with that system
proved to be unsatisfactory and was dis
carded. The car last tested, and upon
which the action Of October 1 was taken,
is understood to be q combination of the
Hoadley-Knfght and some other system.
This car was satisfactory except In certain
minor particulars about thc arrangement
of the exhaust. Your assistant stated that
these difficulties could be remedied without
any difficulty whatever. and it is under
stood that they will be remedied.
Under these circumstances the Commits
sioners were careful to limit their. approval
to air motor cars OF the type. power and
reservoir capacity Of that tested, and pro-
vided with arrangements for muflling the
