That the credit of the government can
only be maintained by assuring the
hondholder that he shall be paid in
gold. The reason for this is, the law
reads payable in coin" and no con-
Dress has dared change it TO payable
in gold" Congress tried in 1873 to SET
ple the question for good, but Carlisle
came along in time with the declaration
that if it became necessary he would
redeem silver dollars in gold. In 1913
congress passed the Matthews resolu-
zion for the express purpose OF settilnS
the controversy for all time. But IL
won't remain settled because OF the
''principle" of the principal referred 10.
And so Mr.. Gage has forced the issue
again. The Matthews resolution Oh
1878. which was passed by an over
whelming majority, after recitlng The
facts in the controversy, and citing the
terms of the law under which the issue
was made, goes on to resolve 'that all
.he bonds issued by the United States,
issued or authorized to be issued under
t1e said act of congress herembefore re-
cited. are payable, principal and inter-
est. at the option of the government or
the United States, in silver dollars or
the coinage of the United States, con-
tanning 4121a grains each of standard
silver: and that to restore to its coinage
such silver coins as a legal tender in
payment of said bonds, principal and
interest, is not in violation of the public
faith nor in derogation of the rights of
the public creditor.
The record Of this action can be found
in the Congressional Record, volume q,
part 1, Forty fifth congress, second ses-
sion. page 564, and it ought to settle the
question.

WHY He DID NOT.
question.

Vice President Hobart did not attend
the funeral of the mother of the presi-
dent. Many wondered over the an
nouncement of this fact, especially as
il is known that in the entire history
of the country no president and vice
president held more cordial political
and social relations than exist between
President Mckinley and Vice President
Hobart and their families. 1t is now
stated that the reason is due to the fact
that 1T has become an unwritten law
that the president, vice president and
secretary of state shall not go away
from the capital on long trips together.
1t will be remembered that at the time
of the funeral of Vice President Hend-
ricks there was a good deal of unfavor-
able comment because President Cleve-
land did not go 10 Indiana. Recently
ex-senator Edmunds has made public
the fact that Mr.. Cleveland was prepar-
ing to go and was dissuaded from doing
so by a number of leading senators,
principally Republicans. At that time
there was no law for the succession, as
now. and if Mr. Clevelad had been kill
ed serious complications might have
followed. Mr. Cleveland unwillingly
submitted to the advice given him, but
the reason for his action was not given
publicity until lately, and he was silent
under the criticism heaped upon him.
AS consequence, however, it has been
decided that, if possible. those in sue
cession to the presidency Shall not all
be absent from the capital at the same
time.

What the British Frog March" Is.
(From the Montreal GaZette.)

Captain Lowering, U. S. A. has been Sc
verely censured for dragging a half-mu-
tinous soldier about the barrack-yard at
horses tail and for prodding him with
his sword. The censure was deserved, both
for the cruelty and lack of military prac-
tice shown by the, officer. They need to
learn the frogs march IN the United States
army. When a British soldier won't move,
when he can move and should move, he
is turned on his face, and with a comrade
to each arm and each leg, and corporal
with stock to reduce unnecessary convo-
lutions on the part Of the burden. he is
quickly taken to a place from which he
is usually glad to move before his move
ment is in order; and he is not physically

Largo Portion of Alaska Soon to Be

Large Portion of Alaska Soon to Be
Placed Under Military Control.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The president
will issue an order placing large dis.
trict in Alaska, of which st. Michaels
will be the center, under the control of
the military arm Of the government.
By this action the authorities believe
that the lawlessness feared as result
of the rush Of the gold seekers to the
great Northwest Territory will be sup
pressed. The proposed military district
will be about 100 miles square.
The determination to issue the order
was arrived at, it is said, at a cabinet
meeting. While no official reports of
anything but a peaceful condition have
reached the department., private COM
munications from responsible parties
have convinced the authorities that
something more was necessary than
civilian rule. The authorities say that
offenses committed within the bounda-
ries of the district to be described by
the president in his order will subject
those responsible to arrest by the mill
tary and prosecution by civilian author
tiles before whom they will be brought.

be tran sported regularly and expedi.
tiously and the food supply would never
