Mrs. Anderson wanted the house to
adjourn from yesterday to Monday,
and offered a motion to that effect.
1t was about to be voted down, when
Mr.. Sloan made an effective appeal in
behalf of the country members, who
had not been permitted to visit their
families since the session opened, and
for the sake of the homesick legis-
lators the house agreed, almost unani-
mously, to take a day off.
Mr.. Thoreson offered a resolution,
setting forth that the report of the code
commission was of paramount import
apce, and therefore it should be con-
sidered as being before the house con-
tinuously, and amendments thereto
should at all times he considered as
being in order; without discussion was
adopted.

the judiciary committee, with recon-
mendations that they be passed:

males from u to 16 wears. The COM
mittee amended it by changing the

installments, on the first day of each
month during the period for which
such appropriations are made.
THE MARRIAGE BILL.
Mr.. Kenner asked that the marriage
bill be placed upon its passage. "There
are good reasons" he declared, why
this bill should be passed at once.
These kindergarten marriages are 60
ing on, day after day, and it is a crime
against nature. 1t is the duty of legis-
lators to legislate for posterity, for
those unborn, and it is one of the
greatest crimes against humanity to
permit children to come into the world
without a fair chance il the battle of
life
The house refused to suspend the
rules for the passage of this dill, and it
took its regular order.
The house then adjourned, AMI tie
members drew their salaries.

A BIMETALIiC CURRENCY.
The Gold Standard Ia the Instrument
 of Trusts.


 If history teaches anything ii teaches that bimetallic currency conduces to national prosperity, and that mono metallism produces distress among the people and decline in business ac- tivity.
 It is not necessary to go any further back than the year 1869 for the begin ning of decade of prosperity. nor to travel away from the United States to find its field of operation. From 1869 to 1879 this nation paid off half of its great debt, and during that time sil- yer was coined at an average rate of S3,000,00 month. This silver went into circulation. and by its presence stimulated business to such an extent that the government was enabled to cancel large part of its great war debt.
 Since 1889 nothing has been paid on the national debt of the United States, but, on the contrary, Grover Cleveland, by his adherence to the vaiuedestroy- ing gold policy, saddled the people with an increased obligation of $262, 100000. This adds S10,000,000 a year of extra expense to be borne in the way of in- terest, and all that has been received in return is widespread commercial de- pression and disaster.
 The republican party acknowledged in the St. Louis platform that bimeea lism was a good thing, and pledged it. self to labor for the international rec ognition of the double standard, but there is nothing so disgusting to a re- publican to-day as a report that the bi- metallic commission is making sue cessful progress in Europe.
 The fact is, the republican party IS owned by the trusts, the trusts want the gold standard, and the welfare of the people, the teachings of history, the solemn pledges the party has made must all be cast aside when the gold trust bosses crack their whips.-Chi- cago Dispatch.

DOUBLE-DEA-lNG HANNA.
AS Campaign Manager and Employ.
 CT of Help.


 of Help.
 Senator Marcus Antonius Hannn, of Ohio. is an altogether different indi- yidual from Marcus Antonius Hanna, cCal miner.
 As chairman of the republican na- tional committee this Hanna conduct ed successfully campaign which re- suited in his creation as senator. Ia that campaign he promised unlimited prosperity. tt was to come imme- diately upon his success in November. 1t was postponed conveniently until the inauguration of the successful can ddate in March. And we have been as- sured by Mir. Hanna. who has attained the senatorship and has certainly se- cured prosperity for himself, that it is here with both hands and every foot.
 But the coal miner Hanna. meeting demands for an increased wage from coal operatives, announces that noth- ing can be done toward the granting of the request at this time because busi- ness conditions-that is. general pros- perity--does not authorize the grant ing of the petition.
 Therefore. the Hanna who was the prophet of prosperity and its benefi- ciary is not the Hanna who is digging coal from the bowels of the earth and refuses an increase of wages to oper- atives.
 Under the existing tariff bitum- inous coal is protected by duty of 40 cents a ton. Senator Hanna, the necromancer of Ohio, the great med icine man of the country, the rsin- maker who compels fructifyins clouds in the bending heavens, has succeeded Ain increasing that protective duty on bituminous coal from 40 cents per ton to 67 cents a ton. The bill in which this increase of tariff tax has been made has passed both houses and is now under consideration by commit tees of conference. They will speed fly agree and the great tariff enact- ment, called by it's friends a revenue producer. will go into operation. What will be its effect? We are told time and again by republican tariff makers that the tariff is levied in the interest of labor alone. It is designed to dig nifty. enrich and ennoble American la- 
 republicans tell us they would not clamor for a protective tariff. Then the 27 cents ton additional is not for revenue. but is for wage, designed to save American labor--that Is. labor employed in America and admitted freely from European countries-from the competition of pauper labor of Nova Scotia. where alone the bitumin- ous coal entering into competition with American-mined bituminous coal is found.
 Why is it. then, that. the bill being practically perfected, American miners do not instantly receive the additional 27 cents per ton?
 Because. according to Coal Miner Hanna. business conditions are such as not to authorize it. An appeal ought to lie from Philip drunk 10 Philip sober. from the coal-mining Hanna to the necromancer Hanna. from the cap italist who digs in the bowels of the earth to the senatorial tariff maker.
 If a tariff is laid primarily for the ben- eft of labor why is not the 27 cents . ton placed immediately at the disposal of coal miners?
 We do not want an answer from Coal Miner Hanna; we do want an answer from Tariff Maker Hanns.-- Chicago Chronicle.

5UNCoING THE PEOPLE.
The Slippery Methods of Mckinley
 and Hanna.

The Mckinley organs are al their old tricks again. They are trying to fool the people into the belief that Mckinley has wei-matured policy for revolu- ticnizing the currency system and bringing order out of the financial chaos for which their party is alone re- sponsible.
 This time il is commission into whose hands Mckinley will place the task of revising the currency" few weeks ago he sent "commission" to Europe to sound European govern ments on the question of international bimetallism. This is the policy to which his party is committed, in haIf-heart- ed way, by its St. Louis platform. That same instrument also binds the party to maintain the single gold standard until Europe consents for us to go back to the financial system under which the United States grew rich and powerful and threatened soon to lead the pro- cession of nations.
 The congress of the United States alone has the power and authority to revise or in any way amend the na- tons currency system. This power and authority Mckinley would take from congress and invest in commis- sion of his own choosing. The purpose is two-fold. First, the Mckinley plan is to obscure the currency issue in a fog of personal obligation in which he would not be directly involved. and. second, to save himself from the embar- est ;., l. ..l. l. L. be placed by the next congress. that vii, be democratic and that will send to him, or to the senate. bill for the remonetization of silver.
 There is excellent ground for the sus- picion. however, that the presidents purpose is not as broad as either of these plans suggests. Behind his pro posal to lay before congress. now just on the point of adjourning. plan for the betterment of the country's fiscal system is desire to help his friend Hanna. The boss of the republican party has a tremendous fight on his hands. He is running for election to the senate on platform reaffirming the principles enunciated at St. Louis and commenting the administration of President Mckinley. The Ohio voters are asking Hanna not only about that promised prosperity. but also what Me Kinley is going to do for bimetallism. Six months of his administration have slipped by. No boom has made its ap- pearance and the president has been silent as the tomb on the currency uues- tion. A "terse" message to congress now on that question. though if be clothed in terms whose ambiguity would bring hope and solace to the weak minded of both sides. would give Hanna some campaign material This he sadly needs. The Mckinley organs are to help in this game. Already they are indulging in surmises as to the strength of the message on the side of bimetallism. It Is petty niece of poli- tics in keeping with McKinIey's and Hanna's methods. Because they fooled the country once with those methods they will try the game again.-St. Louis Republic.
