a Protest.

1t has gone abroad that our re-
spected Board of Supervisors con
template making some change in the
Court House, 1t is said that some.
thing like S3000 will be spent on
the outside of the building. This
movement had its origin in the ne
cessisy for removing the tower which
has become a menace to the building
AS a matter of fact, the tower has
become so weakened that it is in
danger of falling and must be re
moved. However. this fact can
hardly be said to Justify the radical
change and expense cont emplated.
1t is proposed to remove the large
pillars in front and otherwise modify
the whole front of he building at
the above mentioned cost. At the
same time. the interior is to remain
as it is. 1t is respectfully submitted
that this expenditure is unnecessary
in the first place, and undesirable in
in the second place. 1t is unneces.
sary, because the utility of the build
ing will in no wise be increased. 1t is
undesirable because the pillars are
landmark and that which has a place
in the history and affections of the
people should not be ruthlessly des-
troyed.
The desire for change and tin @ new
might override those considera lions
of economy end sentiment if the
County had surplus of cash for
which no other use could be found.
but the sad spectacle of miles of soul
torturing and wagon destroying roads
speaks more eloquently than words,
on this subject.
Gentlemen of the Board, take
away the tower and repair the roof,
but otherwise allow the Conrt House
to remain as it is-and spare our
pillars.

The other day dozen or so grave
and reverend Senators discussing
the matter of ways and means began
guessing at the cost of the Var we
are pulling off with Spain. The fact
that the guesseS ranged several hun
dred millions apart, shows that
all classes and parties have thrown
the obsolete fad of economy to the
winds. We have distinct impress
on that a great many millions of
the peoples money will be wasted,
some necessarily of course, but too
much will be spent that could be
saved.

New York, Juno 14.--Thcre was disposition
in speculative circles today to await the fur-
thcr ptoyress of events, alter a series of test
tnrs by the professional element. There was
evidently an expectation at the opening that
there might be renewed pressure of forced
liqu,dation on account Of the collapse in the
wheat deal The bears were prepared for
active operations and sold with considerable
confidence. bringing about declines of point
In some cases. Heavy offerings were cncoun-
tered OH the decline, however. and prices had
come back to the opening level before the end
of the first hour.
Later In the day there was renewed selling
on quite large scale, which was attributed
TO Chicago account, and this served to re-
avail eli some apprehension as TO the extent OF
the damage done to the financial fabric by the
collapse In wheat. This feverish tendency OF
prices unsettled the tone Of the speculation
and resulted in rather dull market for the
rest Of tho day. The frmness of Sugar and
Tobacco in the later dealings helped to sus-
tain the market.
While the immediate influence of the wheat
collapse Is over, there were several considera-
tons which rather served to keep alive the
reactionary spirit For one thing there Is
some anxiety to find how the subscriptions to
the new government loan will progress. II a
