be as high as possible. and a number OF
new collars have been brought out TO

Still Harping.
ATLANTA Constitution

The New York Times continues to
quarrel with democrats over the coin
age OF the seigniorage, and has employed
all the wonderful collection OF adtectives
known TO metropolitan journalism TO
describe its absurdity.
Nevertheless, we must continue to call
the attention of The Times to the fact
that whatever absurdity there is In the
matter resides In the law itself and In
the practice of the republican party
since Mr. McKinley's Inauguration. MT.
Gage has gone right ahead coining the
seigniorage, and the monthly amount
called for by the revenue Dill Is oniy
slightly In excess Of the amount that has
been coined monthly by the republican
administration.
Therefore, there is no need to wrangie
over the matter. II is not nearly SO I'M
portant as some other things we might
mention.

Manila, Dec. 1G.-Dewey came
ashore today but refused to be
interviewed. He turned to the
interVie uer and said that he was
glad to learn that the insurgents
were releasing sick Spanish sol.
dier prisoners, notwithstanding
their former refusal to do so.
This proves that the insurgents
are concilistory in spite Of their
defiant talk.
Dewey always believed that
the insurgents are friendly, ex.

who in al ambitious attempt at
self advancement are clamorinp
for independence, though unable
to realize itstrue meaning.
Tho admiral believes there will
be no c,ntlict, AZ the friendly
feeling is increasing aud the news-
papers are aiding this feeling.
Dewey says: "Prior to the Az
rival of the monitors | folt un-
easy, but now l am ready to hold
this position against the whole
earth"
He expressed the opinion that
it would be advisable to pay the
lnsurgent troops overdue wages;

valuable effect and may save in
