out victorious. 1t was the second annual

tries. Last year the Americans beat their
opponents by four and a half to three anc

The Currency Situation.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
One thing that should not escape the
minds of Republicans just now is that the
so-called crying demand for the retire
ment of our national currency came orig
inally from the Democratic party, whose
conduct of the government finances seemed
to create necessity for such action. That
the masses of the Republican party do not
concur in this view is very clear from the
fact that not a leading Republican in the
United States has given the proposition his
unqualified Endorsement, and had the St.
Louis platform contained such a plank
The suppression of national currency must
be followed by the re-esIablishment of
State banks of issue and low tariff; hence
the popularity of the scheme with Demo-
Gratis and mugwumps generally. The con-
dition of our government finances to-day
has no more to do with the present bust
ness depression than the mythical man in
the moon. The operation of the Wilson
German tariff law caused our disaster. and
nothing else. Why try to blind ourselves
to this incOntrovertible fact? The cry
about the dangerous greenback is Demo-
cratic trick to throw the public off of the
scent of the real criminal. No country can
maintain large volume of paper currency
at par with gold without a great central
redemption agency. France has the Bank
of France, England her Bank of England
Russia her Bank of Russia and the United
States must have some institution CORE
spending to these If she proposes to float
a paper currency. The United States treas
ury to-day performs that furt ton, and I'M
less an adequate substitute is offered. which
has not been offered in any OF the various
plans for currency reform, it will be much
better TO bear the ills we have than fy to
those we know not of. This is not the
time to tinker with currency reform and
promised prosperity. With the gold stand
ard assured and certain return TO a pro-
tective tariff in close proximity to u.s. there
is nothing in the way of prosperity but
currency tinkering. j. II. CLAYPOOL.

MIGRANTS WERE FROZEN.
Canadian Government Building at OF
town Damage 100000.

OTTAWA, Ontario, Feb. 12.-The old
Western department building suffered dam
age to the extent of 100000 by fire which,
starting about o'clock last evening
burned until after midnight. The upper
floors, with the Mansard roof, were burned
out but the main offices, on the second
and third floors, are all safe, the fire not
having got through the concrete floor, but
much damage has been done by water
None of the important departmental docu-
ments have been destroyed, although a
batch of ante-confederations records is
gone The offices destroyed are those OF
the public works department, the marine
and fisheries, and the mounted police. The
fire brigade had very little effect on the
flames which spread slowly, but steadily,
along the fated building. Lack of pressure,
bad hose frozen hydrants and a variety
of causes contributed to the poor work of
the brigade. AT 3 o'clock this morning an
engine and fifteen men from Montreal ar
rived. but by that time there was moth
ing more to burn. The construction of a
modern building in place of the one
wrecked by last nights fire will cost not
