WASHINGTON. Oct. Alt is now stated
that another change is to be made in the
composition of the Nicaraguan canal COM
mission, and again in the place set apart
for the engineer member of the body. Since
the commission was appointed no less than
five army engineer officers either have been
appointed 10 this place or have been invited
to accept it. First there was Captain Car
ter, who was obliged to relinquish the place
because of the tendency of charges against
him in Savannah. Then Major Leach de-
clined it. Next Major Powell was called
over from Plttsburg. only to find that the

Mr.. Taggart- The Democracy of Indiana
will have to fall in line and keep step with
the national organization. and that is not
moving on free-silver lines. The big men
of the party, the men who shape it's action
on national issues, have already decided
that it shall not make another campaign on
the free-silver issue. That issue, including
Organism in all its phases. is already obso-
lescent and will soon be obsolete. The at
tempt to get up a revival for it in this State
on the strength of the election of Mr.. Tag
CART will not succeed. He may become a
sort Of missing link to reconcile and reunite
the gold and silver factions in this State.
but it will not be on a free-silver basis. The
gold-standard men who nominated and
elected him will take care of that. If ne
should become the Democratic candidate
for Governor it will be on a sound-money
platform, or one ignoring the money ques-
ton.

1t is amusing to read in the papers which
oppose the candidacy of General Tracy for
mayor Of New York that he is the tool of
Senator Plat. Yet as secretary Of the
navy he was the first secretary who had
the nerve to declare that efficiency as me-
chanics should be the only basis Of en-
ployment. and to carry it out. Not long
since Admiral Brown said that it is due TO
Secretary Tracy that the navy yards OF the
United States can build as good ships and
as cheaply as can private yards

The endless chain which was taking the
gold out of the treasury during the C1eve-
land administration has reversed its action
and IS now bringing the yellow metal to
the treasury and taking the legal tenders
out of it. A year ago the treasury officials
were offering inducements to the owners of
gold to send it to the treasury; now it is
refusing to pay expressage on gold in Cali
forna which the holders desire to exchange
for legal tenders. That is a change, and
very important one which has come with
the new administration

presses the opinion that the congressman's

ph,ladelnhia Record.

Judge Gaynor. of New York, declares
that four inches of space in a newspaper is
more effective than public meeting in pro-
noting any good cause. The judge never
gave a sounder opinion. While the meeting
comprehends thousands OF listeners the
newspaper has hundreds of thousands Of
readers. The inches of space that can serve
a public cause can as surely serve a private
cause that makes the right appeal to the
public. The Goliath of mouern business is
newspaper space properly utilized.
