War Department Hard at Work Max
ing Selections.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The war de-
paptment has not yet made Out its list
Iof regiments to be mustered Out of the
service, but has been in constant cor
'respondence with various sections Of
the country upon the subject. AT first
it was thought that the demand to re-
main in the service would prove em->
balrassing to the department, as so
many troops desired to continue in SER
vice. 1t is believed there has been
a change of sentiment, and the off
GERS and men of regiments that see no
possibility Of further fighting are will
ing to go back to their avOcatiOnS. Some
want to go to the new POSSESSIONS, but
Others. it is said, see no glory in polio
ing Santiago and other captured points,
where there is nothing to do. Some of
the troops are also becoming weary Of
camp life. The First Alabama. it is
understood. has been selected for mus
,tering out at its own request.

MARRIED UNDER DIFFICULTIES.


Columbus. Mo. Aug. 22.-Several
years ago Downing Buckner, 4 prOmi-
nent young man of this vicinity. met
Miss Fannie Reid. and a courtship went
forward without an impeachment until
the day vas set for the wedding. Sew
eral weeks ago all was ready for the
event at the church where the cere-
mony was to take place. A party of
was there, and 50 was Buckner. with
his best man and others. This was at
; O'Clock p. m. The groom to-be and
guests waited two hours for the bride.
but she came not. although couriers
had been dispatched in all directions to
locate her and bring her to the altar.
At 5 O'Clock a small boy walked into
church and told Mr.. Buckner that the
girl who was to be the bride had been
seen to board the afternoon train for
st. Louis.
Miss Reid remained in st. Louis sew
eral weeks. Bueckncr transferred his
affections to Miss Lucille Johnston and
within thre" weeks it was given out
THAT he would lead Miss Johnston to
the altar. \ friend of Miss Reid wired
her and she anne to Columbia. She
went at one to Buckner and declared
should be all kinds @. trouble. Buck
ner capitulated and Miss Johnston was
retired. A license was secured and
placed in the hands of Rev. w. 7. Os-
burn, who was to perform the cere-
mony at s o'clock this morning.
The welding party was assembled
and the ceremony was about to proceed
when Mr.. Osburn quite carelessly asked
Mr.. Buckner if he had the license with
him. Mr.. Buckner looked astonished.
The license?" he cried, in a tone that
SOUNDED above the organ notes. why,
| thought it was in your hands. But
you sent a boy for it early and | gave it
are you talking abOut?' shouted Buck
ner. " did not send for the license
There was a sensation, a postpone
ment was declared and couricrs were
sent to locate the missing license. Al
fairs We're assuming a hopeless aspect
when Miss Johnston appeared and
coolly stated that she had secured the
license, and that it was still in her pos
session. She said further she did not
intend to give it up unless she was per
mitted to dictate a few terms to the
proposed wedding. She submitted a
proposition to this effect: The mar
riage Of Mr.. Buckner was to proceed on
condition that in case of the subsequent
death or divorce of the wife. Buckner
must promptly become the husband Of
Miss Johnston, without further choice
IN the matter. After a brief discussion
the opposition of Miss Johnston was
accepted, and the contract was duly
FORMED, signed, witnessed and sealed.
The wedding ceremony then proceeded.

gorgeously decorated rooms at home

! The natives have peculiar game
something like the common backgammon
Of the American homes, and they are

1t is an every day thing to see whole

tracts TO furnish supplies to the gov
ernment, who have been exempt from
many of the conditions of the general
competitive market. Under normal
have been $1.250, ,000.0 900 offered to
the government in exchange for bonds
bearing only 3 per cent. interest.
Such an offering on the those having
capital shows a universal distrust oi
business Investments and a disposition
to avoid investment in property, the
incomes from which are affected by
the general prosperity of the country.
and to seek investment in bonds, which
are money futures, the income from
which rests upon the taxing power of
the government.
The majority of the finance commit
tee of the United States Senate pro-
posed, in addition to levylng a war tax,
that the government coin the $42, ,000,-
900 of silver seigniorage now lying idle
in the vaults OF the Treasury, and in
addition to this to issue $3.50, ,000.0 900,
or so much thereof as might be neces-
sary, of legal-tender non-interest-bear-
ing notes of the government. Had
this plan been adopted we would have
had an increase of the supply of money
which would have caused a general
revival of business, with better prices
for products; the labor of the country
would have found employment at fair
wages, and there would have been no
necessity to increase the interest-bear-
ing debt of the nation
But the government of the country
is in the hands of an administration
committed to the gold standard and is
under the influence of the gold con-
tractionists. The administration is
not averse to the issuing of interest
bearing bonds to be made the basis for
the issuance of bank notes, because
the banks who furnished the campaign
funds in 1896 want an investment of
this kind that viii return them double
interest. But it is opposed to the only
policy that can restore prosperity to
the labor and business interests of the
country, which is an increase of the
legal tender money necessary to up
hold prices and stimulate production,
which alone can give to the country
general prosperity. = SiIver Knight

Disappointment.
SANDY EAGEAR,
10Th .. S. Infantry.

The business interests of the country
generally looked for revival of trade
as the necessary and inevitable out
come of the war with Spain. To say
that they are disappointed is to mildly
state the fact.
The expectation that war would dis
pei the condition of business stagna-
ton, bordering on paralysis, that has
hung like pail, not alone over this
country, but over all gold standard
countries during the past five years,
did not take into account the controll-
ing factor in the case, namely, that
the expenses of the war were to be
met through taxing production and en-
larging our interest-bearing debt, with
out providing an increase of money
supply to meet the increased demand.
Remembering the tremendous i'm
petus that business received during the
civil war, many reasoned that favora-
BILE trade conditions. better prices, and
better times would inevitably follow
the vast expenditure of money by the
government that war would necessi-
tate. This would be true if the ex-
traordinary conditions inseparabie
from war were accompanied by an in
crease of money supply commensurate
with the increased demand for money
occasioned by the war.
The withdrawal of 225,000 able
bodied men from the field of competi-
tive production, to be fed, clothed. and
paid wages from the nations treasury,
thus being transferred to the field of
consumption, would naturally tend to
improve the market. The equipping,
provisioning, and transportation of an
money and furnishes employment, and
hence the ability to become consumers,
to thousands aside from those compris-
ing the army itself. All of which by
drawing from the normal labor supply.
and creating an enlarged demand for
the products oflabor of all kinds would,
under conditions that would permit of
it, cause wages to advance and advance
the prices of all the products of labor.
But when it is remembered that
prices are governed by money supply
it becomes evident that an additional
demand for money, unaccompanied by
a corresponding additional supply,
makes q condition under which an ad-
vance of prices is impossible and afall
OF prices become inevitable.
The present war presents a case OF
this kind and hence has brought 40 i'm
provements to the general business of
the country. The increased demand for
money. unaccompanied by a CORES
ponding increase in the supply, has
made business conditions harder than
before for all, except those having con-

Asiatic possessions is all she has to
pledge for the loan. Russia, Germany
and France know that. and the Wash
ington government may be sure that
they will profit by it for their own good
if the slightest opportunity offers.
Then again, not few Spanish states
men hold that the ministry's agree
ments with the United States will not
be binding upon Spain until the cortes
has approved them. Thus it will be
seen that scheming is already under

That Trump Card.

The word comes from Madrid that
''Spain has splendid trump card to
play" and that 1.-THE United States will
find surprise" when the Philippine
question is reached by the commission.
The meaning of it seems to be that an
agreement of some sort has already
been entered into between Spain, Rus
sia and Germany by which Russia and
Germany are to profit handsomely for
poking their noses into the business of
the commission. There is room for
suspicion that several grains of truth
will be found lurking in the rumor.
1t is very certain that none of the pow
ers would undertake to meddle unless
something was to be made out of it.
They know that all the questions to be
settled by the commission are exclu-
siyely between the United States and
Spain, and that America is in 10 mood
to be trified with.
The intlmation that '.Japan averted
trouble by giving up'' is weak and
foolish invention. The United States
is not Japan, and is not at all afraid to
s'do otherwise" From Paris, Berlin
and St. Petersburg come hints that if
the United States is not moderate in
its demands" before the commission
vigorous protests will be filled by the
three capitals. and if they avail moth
ing, something in the nature of COM
mand like ..this far you may go, and
then you shall halt" The trouble with
more than one of the three powers is
that they do not fully realize they
would not be bluffing a sultan of Turk
ey or an emperor of China, were they
to play the rough rider with America.
1t is to be hoped that no attempt will
be made by any of the powers to inter-
fere, but the fact THAI their diplomatic
corps in Paris is to be reinforced by
s'visitors" from the home government
during the sitting of the commission
makes the outlook for an uninterrupted
conference little uncertain.
Undoubtedly Russia and Germany
are of one accord as to the final dispo-
sition of the Philippines, and the
Franco-Russian ..bond of friendship
would naturally oblige France TO take
a conspicuous part in any trouble that
might be evolved. And trouble will
be evolved If the United States is told
'.you must" or ..you must not" Those
three powers are banking on the mex
perience of the American side of the |
commission as diplomats to furnish the |
desired ..slighest pretextn to play
Spain's '.trump card" Both Russia
and Germany have shown too much /
anxiety recently to possess themselves
of some o; the Philippine islands to
suggest the thought that they are not
deeply interested IN the final disposi-
tion OF the Islands. Spain must raise
about $3.50, ,00o, oo0fmmediately to sat-
