-..--1. u.sAlpa4ga having for Its avowed
purpose the defeat of free coinage of silver
and the maintenance of the existing, or
gold, standard. But it is very bad prep
aration for an aggressive campaign to
continually dwell on the great strength
of the enemy, his great skill at strategy
and the great danger of defeat. That
is not good way to inspire confidence.
No military general would thus displrlt
his troops before an engagement, and 1t
is equally bad strategy for political
general to do it. Furthermore IN this
case the strength of the enemy and the
danger of attacking him in front are De-
ing greatly exaggerated. Silver is not SO
strong as it was year ago, when IL was
defeated. Many things have happened
since the last Presidential election, to
greatly weaken the arguments of the
silver men, which were the most effective
in that campaign. No longer can it be
contended with any hope of producing
conviction, that silver and our staple
products are SO tied together that the
latter can en- ly rise in response to the
rise of the former. That argument. which
was one of the most effective used by the
silver men in the last campaign, is no
longer available. Neither is it possible
to contend with any show of reason that
prosperity is bound up in free silver, for
Notwithstanding depression in few of
our industries, the history of the past
twelve months has been one of business
and industrial revival. Even Senator
Wolcott has been compelled to confess
tn It the ratio of l6 to one is no longer
practicable, and the silver men are likely
to have to abandon that. and in 30 doing
confess that they were wrong in one Of
their most tenaoiously held theories. The
trend of events. not only in this country,
but all over the world, has been during
the past year toward the gold standard.
Russia and Japan have practically aban-
doned silver during that time, and some
of the most progressive Of the South
American republics are preparing to
adopt the gold standard. Reason and
experience are on the side of the gold
standard, and they are the most effective
weapons in the world.

Statutes, chapter 3, section SO, applies
first to weirs or wharyes not built in &C.
cordance with chapter of the Revised
Statutes Second to weirs erected below
low watermark, not removed annually.
Third to such as are removed annually,

The statute gives the land owner the

When he does not exercise the right others

The defendants had maintained q
movable weir abreast the plaintiffs land
several seasons prior 60 1886. Early in
that year defendants began to construct
their weir. Plaintiffs procured an in
junction in this cause against their doing
so. They Immediately removed their weir
and have not used the privilege since.
Neither does it appear that plaintiffs
have done so. 1t is the actual use and
appropriation that gives the land owner
the benefits of the statute to protect his
right of fishing, not an unexercised right
to the use. Equity applies the extraordi-
nary remedy Of injunction only where the

8 We have been for great many years
trying to protect our ports against
possible a. hostile fleets, but we are
compelled to confess today that our pro-
gress in that direction has been very slow
and Inadequate. Only few days ago
our Congress refused to appropriate more
than a very small part of the money
recommended by our army officers on the
ground that our revenues would not per-
NIT. In the face of this condition of
things, however, we go right on talking
about war with Spain, and shouting for
the annexation of islands 5000 miles
away which can be of no use to US unless
they are strongly fortified and our navy
greatly increased beyond it's present
strength. Territorial expansion such as
we are seeking now, and becoming
a great military or naval power, are ut
terly incompatible with low taxation.
Sooner or later we have got to abandon
either the former or the latter. Now is
the time for the American people to de-
termine which they will choose. After
we have got into war or have extended
our frontier several thousand miles out
into the Pacific ocean will be too late, for
then there will be nothing left to do but
to consent to the increase of our burdens.

Rescript by Haskell, IA father is the
natural guardian of his infant children
and is therefore the proper person to con-
duct litigation in their behalf, and to
control the same as next friend, unless
his interests be hostile or he be guilty of
some default OF neglect. Any Judgment
that he may procure belongs to the child,
and it ia doubtful if he can discharge the
same. That is the duty of a legal
guardian. The father, in law, is differ
emit person individually than when acting
for the child and in its stead, and any
Judgment against him while SO acting
concludes the rights of the child only,
and not these of the father. The judg
ment Of defendants against the child Is
no bar to this action.
EThe requested instructions were fully
given in the charge.
The evidence is conflicting and peculiar

slider, and their verdict cannot be said to
have been erroneous.

The Marquis of Salisbury's denial that
England has not backed down in the
matter of making Ia Lien-Wan a free
port appears somewhat evasive. 1t ap-
pears to amount to this, that England
did not make that an absolute condition
in connection with the loan to China,
and therefore If she has concluded not to
insist upon it she cannot be fairly charged
with backing down. 1t is noticeable that
Salisbury takes good care not to say that
England intends to insist.
