The order of the Secretary of War
promulgating the repriHand to Capt.
Lowering is couched in terms severe
enough to achieve the end desired-that
Of putting a stop to official brutality in
the regular army. Captain Lover
ing escapes without loss of rank
or pay, but from a civilian stand
point his position is most I'M
enviable one. He has been censured by
the commander-in-chief of the army,
and he has been told that his punish
ment is not adequate for his offense.
In other walks of life, a subordinate
thus censured by a superior would re-
sign at once. Captain Lowering prob
ably will not do so, because it is evident
that he has and will continue to have
the sympathy of certain proportion
of his fellow officers. 1t is safe to say,
however, that their sympathy for him
will not lead them to share his fate by
following his example.

Great Opportunity for Congress.

The expenditures of the government
are enormously in excess of the actual
need, because very great proportion
of the appropriations is made simply
to serve party purposes, or, in plain
words. to buy votes with bounties.
What monument the present congress
could build for itself if it had the cour-
age to deal with this matter nationally
and honestly, cutting off all unjust ap-
preparations and levying taxes with
sole reference to the replenishment of
the treasury!-New York World.

Spelling of Geographical Names.

VI
The United States Board on geo.
graphical names has adopted for guild
ance, in determining the official form
or rendering of geographical names. the
following principles within the United.
States:
Spelling and pronunciation sane
toned by local usage should il general
be adopted
Where names have been changed or
corrupted, and such changes and cor
ruptionS have become established by
local usage, it is not in general advisa-
Bile TO attempt to restore to the original
form.
In case where what was evidently
originally the same word appear with.
various spellings, sanctioned by local
usage, when applied to different fea-
lures, these various spellings should be
regarded as in effect different names,
and as a rule it is inadvisable to at
tempt to produce uniformity.
Where a choice is offered between
two or more names for the same place
or locality, all sanctioned by local
usage, that which is most appropriate
and euphOnious should be adopted.
The pOssesSiye form should be avoid
ed whenever it can be done without de-
stroying the euphony of the name or
changing its descriptive application.
In all names ending in ''burgh," the
final III should be dropped.
In all names ending in borough"
this termination should be abbreviated
to bOrO.
The word Center as a part os the
name should be spelled center" not
centre.
The use of hyphens in connecting
compound names should be discontin-
ued
The letters G. Fl. court house, as a
part of the names of county seats,
should be omitted
In case of compound names consist
ing Of more than one word, it is desir-
able to simplify them by uniting the
compound parts.
1t is desirable to avoid the use of
diacritical charity
1t is desirable to avoid the use of the
words city and town" as q part OF
names.

From New York comes a story of the
collapse of a gigantic corporation Or
ganized to develop mineral claims in
the Klondike regions. 1t is said that
fully 100000 had been drawn into
! the scheme in question, large part Of
the stock having been sold to poor per-
SONS who were eager to get rich quick
! ly. The exact condition of the affairs
of the company referred to is not
known at this time, but 1t is hoped
large portion of the money can be re-
claimed. It is significant, however, that
when this Eastern concern collapsed
the names of several well-known busi
ness men in various sections of the
country were involved, and they have
hastened to disclaim all connection,
real or implied, with the scheme. 1t
seems almost a certainty that the
names of these men have been used
without their knowledge or consent to
bolster up doubtful enterprise. This
is regrettable, to say the least. The
Klondfke region undoubtedly offers an
inviting field for legitimate investment,
and many Of the companies recently
organized for such purposes unques-
tionably are reliable. But under fever
ish conditions mushroom concerns Of
ten are organized whose highest mo-
tive is to fleece the unwary. Unusual
care should be taken to inveSt gate
Alaskan enterprises before investing in
them. Men of wealth and standing in
the business world cannot be too care
full about lending their names to min
ing and development schemes with
which they are not thoroughly familiar.

There has been falling off of over
$56,000.OO0 in revenue during the last
fifteen years. What is the cause of this
decrease? The Bulletin of the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel Association answers
as follows:
"Prices for most manufactured pro-
ducts have fallen in this country so low
that even moderately protected duties
will suffice to prevent any considerable
influx of foreign manufactures; in 9th
er words, that a tariff which affords
adequate protection to American indus
tries can no longer be relied upon to
supply sufficient revenue for the sup
port of the government unless duties
for revenue only be also provided
Republicans are forced to admit that
a tariff for protection is a failure as
tariff for revenue. What are they 60
ing to do about it?

Monetary "Reform" Run Mad.

At last the self-appointed monetary
commission has given out the conclu-
sions arrived at by its combined wis
dom, and, while striving to abolish the
endless chain. has succeeded in putting
another link in it.
With that wise school of finance
which teaches the theory that a nom
interest bearing debt is more heavy TO
carry than an interest-bearing debt.
the self-appointed monetary commits
sion advises the refunding of the green
backs and other demand obligations
of the government by the issuing of
gold bonds. 1t recommends that 1.-The
secretary of the treasury be author
lied to issue bonds whenever the gold
reserves are to be replaced"
There is nothing new in this plan, 1T
having been fully covered in the propo-
sition submitted to Congress by Secre-
tary Gage. 1t is the old scheme to
break the endless chain by bonding
this country to the extent of nearly a
thousand million dollars to escape a
dilemma created by the gold clique,
and which has no legal cause for eX-
iStence
But the most remarkable proposition
made by the monetary commission, the
most short-sighted and inconsistent
recommendation, is to the effect that
1.-The treasury be authorized to give a
gold for a silver dollar on demand"
Having, in it's own estimation, de-
strOyed the endless chain in destroy
ing the greenbacks, this sapient none
tary commission creates another end
less chain by creating the silver dol
lars and silver certificates a means by
which gold shall be drained from the
treasury.
In an attempt to strike silver money
a death blow, the blade has turned
If the endless chain is such a mon
strous evil, why do these self-chosen
monetary ''reformers' set about the
creation of another endless chain more
extensive than the one which they
have attempted to destroy?
Silver is declared by this suggestion
of the commission not to be money,
but a demand obligation of the gov
ernment payable in gold. This is in
deed gold monometallism run mad. 1t
is fortunate that the commission is
self-created, for otherwise it's parents
could not fail to be very much ashamed
of their offspring.-Chicago Dispatch.

ECONOMY IN GOVERNMENT.

Economy in the government of the
United States appears to have become
n lost art.
There was a time when the eXpendi-
lures of the United States bore some
just relation to the revenues, but that
time anteGates the present by at least
fifteen years. In the last fifteen years
the expenditures of the government
have increased 40 per cent, but it is not
to be discovered that the revenue has
increased in anything like a due pro-
portion.
AS matter of fact, the revenue has
absolutely decreased since 1882. The
New York Journal of Commerce pub
fishes a table showing the comparative
expenditures in 1882 and 1897, which is
suggestive. The table is as follows:

This j. fish story with new
variations, from the Sclinsgrovc
Tribune of July 22nd.
One day last week while George
NJ. Lumbard was fishing in the
river he found fishing line fast
Ia IA stone in the bottom of the
river. He succeeded i'm getting il
loose when he found IA dead bass
weighing over two pounds fast at
the hook. He showed the line To
David ;. Sholley, Esq, who pro
nounced it "a line which had been
torn from Squire Burns rod by "a
bass last week. George attached
the line 10 one of his.rods. and in
company with his fa;her-in-law,
Overseer- of the-P David Kel-
Ter. on Tuesday started up the
river To fish. He was fishing for
some time when he had n bite and
in attempting To land the fish the
Burns line was again snapped Off.
a new line was rugged up and they
started in fishing again.-They
meved from place to place as is
customary in fishing, and six
O'Clock, p. m, found them on the
opposite side of the river from
where George had lost his line.
While fishing here Mr.. Keller had
Il dandy bite, and in the struggle
with the fish, the line was torn
from the rod. When they drew
up anchor to start for home, the
water being very clear. George saw
a line on the bottom. Divesting
himself of his clothing he jumped
into the river TO get what he sup
posed was Mr.. Keller's line. He
had considerably difficulty in get
ting the line untangled as it was
wrapped around a stump, and then
he found ii had the fish hooked
yet, and it began to scOot around
in the water lively wrapping the
line round his limbs. He finally
got the line and fish, and to their
great surprise, in place OF being
the Keller line it was the line that
George had lost on the oppsite side
of the river in the morning.

must not be overlooked. If the cotton
acreage is to be made one of minor cor
sideration in reality it should be made
so in our talk also Let's quit talkino
so much about it and have more to saw
about the size Of other crops. Instead
of preaching decrease of one let's preach
increase of the other. Cotton is too
protitless at present prices to occupy
first place in our calculations or in orr
talk. Things of more Importance and
profit should command first thought and
most prominence in our conversation.
Hereafter, or at least as long as the sta
pie stays around the f1ve-cent mark. 1t
ought to be given the cold shoulder and
treated with silent contempt; and so also
should the spectators who make the
prices go so low be treated. The best
way the Echo sees that this can be done
is to talk about the increase of acreage
in food crops, and not let our talk be in
vain either"
