supports of a country's wealth and in.

The result of the elections held Nov
ember the end are a presage of the
overthrow-nay, the utter demolition
OF the Republican party in the next
Presidential contest. Free silver is
dead cock sure" to win. The Demo-
Gratis unanimously tell us so, and who
ever knew Democrat who was a
false prophet or would tell a wilful
premeditated lie out or in the heat of q
political campaign. The grand old
party might as well agree to collapse
without further ado, not forgetting to
thank their friends, the enemy, for
their kind and thoughtful considera.
ton in informing them SO far in ad.
vance of their taking off. The Repub-
Leans will have ample time to arrange
their business before the doleful event,
and when it arrives all they will have
to do is ITO lay me down and die''
with the gracefulness, composure and
resignation of true martyrs. Thanks
are, also, due the Democrats in not
being too preceptible in this matter
of our humiliation. 1t really seems
that the Democrats are beginning to
have some appreciation of the pro.
prieties.

THE Republicans have been duly
notified that Bryan ia not dead nor is
the silver issue a defunct corpus, but
that both will be %livelier than ever in
1900. Well, it has fallen to the lot of
the Republican party to fight the
country 3 enemies all the years of its
existence and its brave and unterrihed
legions have come out of every contest
with the sunshine of victory clarifying
its banners. So, this challenge to fight
over again the battle of '96 strikes no
terrors to their hearts. They will be
ready, and are ready now, for the re
sumption of hostilities. The people
will never favor rotten money. They
demand a dollar that is worth one
hundred cents. You didn't fool them
in 1896 and they will not be fooled by
the fraud and swindle in 1900.

AS TO ARMY BANDS.
Secretary AIger Has a Good Word In
His Report.

Secretary of War Alger, In his an
nual report will have a good word to
say for army bands. He will call at
tention to the present status of the
military bands now in the army, and
will recommend their reorganization.
He says that the proper maintenance
of the regimental band is q question
requiring remedial legislation. The
band has been an adjunct to the regt-
ment since the formation of the gov
eminent, and has always been recog-
nized as contributing to the pleasure,
the contentment and the discipline
Of the enlisted men. AS at present
organized, 1t is composed of one chief
musician whose pay is $50 per month,
two principal musicians, $22; sergeant,
SIS, and twenty privates at $13. The
band Is maintained by the savings
Of the rations. 5 per cent Of the prof
it's of the post exchange and earnings
from private engagements for parties
in civil life A portion of the money
thus obtained by hiring out the band
is paid to the men to secure first
class musicians, for it is found impos-
sible to maintain good military bands
on the pay, $13, Of the private SOL
der.
The outside engagement of bands
has been the source Of much CORE
spondence, growing out Of the objec-
ton from local musical unions In civil
life Although the army bands have
always been prohibited from furnish
ing music at prices lower than charged
by other bands, the civilian often pre-
fers the military organization, and as
a result there is endless protest. Upon
one occasion one of the states from
which the government asked the ces-
sion of jurisdiction required by the
constitution, demanded as the condi-
lions thereof assurance that COMPETE
ton of soldiers with citizen labor
should be discontinued within its
boundaries.
The secretary recommends that reg
mental bands be authorized by law
organized and paid as follows: One
chief musician, $75; two principal mu-
sicians, $40; sergeant, $50; fifteen pri-
Yates, $685. twelve privates, $40; one
drum major, with the rank and pay
of first sergeant
