day. What the orders OF Capt. Charles ID. Sigs.
bee, her commander, will DO tho st. Paul's crew
are anxious to know. The officers believe the
cruiser will return to the West Indies to act az
q despatch boat. Her speed makes her moro
valuable for this work than anything else she
can do just now, AZ there is practically no scout
ing to DO done in Cuban waters at present. Tor
pedo boats arc uncertain as despatch boats be-
tween distant ports. and in rough weather are
in danger of being injured or wrecked. Tho
men on the big American liners don't fancy the
work they are doing. Action 10 what they are
looking for.
The st. Paul's crew think ship with her arma-
ment should have q chance to sec some real
fighting. The "~jaokies" would like to have q few
shots at Admiral Cervera's dostroyers anchored
in Santiago de Cuba harbor. Tho big rapid-flro
guns on tho poop and the forecastle could knock
tho Juror and Pluton into Smithereens, and
oven the 3-pounders would make things very
uncomfortable aboard these little craft Down
in the harbor of San Juan, at last accounts, lay
the destroyer Terror. The St. Paul's men would
welcome an order sending the cruiser to Porto
Rico TO get" her.
When the ST. Paul went to Santiago do oubN

oflcer on tho bridge called out Eight thousand

the first order. and when tho practice ended
Morro's walls had . few moro holes in them.
Tho gun crews Of the 3-pounders had . chance
of pitting the walls whom the St. Paul steamed
in q little nearer. Many Of the mon IN the
cruiser were green hands, and the way they
mRde holes in the target greatly pleased Capt.
SiEsbeo.

preached a sermon on An OptimistiS View Of
tho War" He referred to the changes in causes
for war from vengeance to conquest, to indie
pendence. to liberty for others. and now, with
the United States as regards Spain, for humane
tvs sake. Although a peace man., Mr.. Mills
was for justice first. War he considered o me-
cessity, as man stands to man at present. and he
also considered that war was of lasting benefit,
as the history of tho world will show. For in.
stance. tho present conflict with Spain has
united the North and South as no other means
could have done and has brought about . de-
sirable state of affairs among the English
speaking people. Mr.. Mills read Sam Walter
Foss's poem. II Am War;" which recently SD-

Representative Cox, who represents
the district in which Pulaski is located,
was also refused look at the papers
in the case. II there is any law for
these refusals it should be brought to

With continuation OF the Cleve-
land and Mckinley financial policy
the bonds of the United States would
practically be gold bonds. just as they
are now. Isn't it strange then, that
the large bond holders should be in
favor of Secretary Cages scheme to
refund the bonded Indebtedness of the
country with p per cent. gold bonds,
knowing that it would reduce the
amount OF interest paid by the govern
ment to the extent OF ten or twelve
millions a year? The fact that these
bondholders are willing to give up
that money to get the word gold"
put upon U. S. bonds is significant. 1t
indicates the price the bondholders
would pay for the perpetuating of the
gold standard; also, that they be-
lieve. in common with most Democrats,
that existing laws do not justify the
Treasury Department in deciding that
U. s. bonds are payable in gold when.
ever their holders so desire. Gold
bonds will not be authorized by Con-
gress, but the effort to get such legis-
lation may result in good by opening
the eyes OF many who have heretofore
been unable to see the drift OF the
gold movement.
OF course everybody expects the
Spanish minister to try to earn his
salary by making things appear %
favorable as possible for his country,
but he overdid his part in a statement
concerning the contributions for suffer
ing humanity in Cuba, which have
been officially asked for from our peo-
pie by the people OF the United States.
which he made public this week. II
Spain had not acknowledged its in
ability to deal with the situation,
Americans would not have been asked
to contribute; yet Senior Depuy de
LONE begins by saying: at is
not true that the Spanish authorities
in Cuba are not equal TO the situation"
In his anxiety to make a good show
ing for Spain he dashes would-be con-
tributors with ice water by saying that
many of the sufferers are such only
because of their unwillingness to work.
But the galliest sentence in the state.
ment is this this: cit should be
borne in mind, also, that the Spanish
government has RENTED all duties on
relief supplies cent to Cuba, so that
for every dollar of supplies, entering
Cuba, Spain adds considerable per-
centage, the RENTED duties running
from 40 per cent. down." The rule OF
arithmetic by which the remittance OF
duty on charity donations can figure
az additions to the donations may be
common in Spain, but it has never
been known in American schools.

THE CITY COUNCIL.
The Old Council DissOlves and the
New Enters Upon the Stage of

The Old Council DissOlvcs and the
New Enters Upon the Stage of
Action.
In pursuance of law the Council
met last evening to induct the new
Mayor and newly elected Councilmen
into Office. Mayor Byrne raped the
gravel and Councilman Forbes, MUIR
ply, White, Wilson, Savage and
Scofield responded to their names at
roll call.
After reading and correcting the
minutes, Mayor Bryne made a very
felicitous address ON retiring. He felt
the sadness of the parting, but COM
plimented the dissolving body on the
amicable relations that had been
maintained in the discharge of public
duty. Mr.. Bryne while compliment
ing the council upon the economical
spirit that had actuated the now clos
ing administration OF the city affairs,
expressed the belief that if any censure
were due it was rather on the ex-
treme economy that had been practiced.
He believed that the city should not
have been deprived of needed lights
through the dark nights of winter and
improved this occasion to say so.
At the conclusion of the retiring
Mayors remarks, which we're we'll re-
ceived, Geo. B. Lane assumed the oath
OF Office and Councilmen elect O'Con-
nor, Work, Doherty, Millette and White
were sworn in as councilmen.
Mayor Lane on assuming his chair
delivered a comprehensive inaugural
address, which appears on the second
page.
Clerk Scofield read the reports of
Clerk, Treasurer and Marshal which
were referred.
Mr.. Wilson introduced resolution
fixing the compensation of Electrician
at $45 per month and Street Commits
sioner at $45. This makes the pay of
all the appointed Offices and Marshal
uniform rate.
The applications of r. A. McNair,
Fred Guyot and Robert Swan for the
position of Marshal were read, and a
ballot ordered, resulting in vote for
McNair, l for Guyot and 5 for Swan.
The Mayor declared Robert Swan
elected.
For Electrician the applications of
Chas. Peterson, George Craig and
Mark Mack were read. The vote
stood Peterson 2 votes, Craig and
Mack 4. Mack was declared elected.
There was but a single applicant
for the position OF Driver and Street
Commissioner, and the Clerk was in
structed to cast the vote OF the
Council for each respectively, and
thereupon Chas. Curtin was declared
elected Driver and Glen johnson
Commissioner.
The same course was pursued with
reference to the Chief of the Fire De-
Partment and G. S. Allen declared
duly elected.
