CURRENCY REFORM.

While the present war continucs it is not to be expected that the general public will take deep interest in the subject of currency reform. The fact that the Mckinley administration is pledged to the maintenance of every dollar of credit money of the government, together with the great accession of gold in the treasury, undoubtedly tends to Hull distrist of the existing currency system. Currency reform, however, is by no means dead. It has only yielded for the time being to more urgent and commanding issues. The appeal of the chairman of the monetary commission not to permit this subject to drop out of sight is certain to meet with response.

INNOCENT ABROAD.

A black pup wandered from the side walk on Fourth avenue, near Thirtie-h street, just as trolley car went whiZ- zing along one afternoon recently. Wagging his tail in innocent greeting to the wide, wide world, this small pup ambied between the car tracks. The motormon rang his warning bell; the pup, much surprised and pleased. stood stock still in front of the approaching car, wagging his tail the harder. In another instant the car fender must have struck tho pup, but the hu- mane motorman stepped the car-and so suddenly that the passengers blamed each other for the jolting
 which tumbled thsm against each o.her
 The happy pup plainly thought all this was being done for his especial delectation. Now lae jumped up and parked, now he messed the edge of the | car fender and barl,ed, now he wagged his tail and barked. The motorman angry for the moment, laughed when he saw the pups hapless ignorance of danger. The passengers, in the front seats, smiled, too-
 Get out of the way," cried the mo- torman, waving his arms at the pup. Get out of the way, you internal young idiot, CT you'll be run overt" The pup was simply delighted; the motorman was playing with him. At last the motornan made motion as if to threw something at the pup, which only then jumped from the track and landed directly in front of a car | bowling along the other track.
 There was no time for this motor. man to stop. The fender struck the pup. threw him, yelping, up in the air , and with true hospitality caught him unharmed. The women who looked on mingled their shrieks:
 Hes killedi" He's saved!" A man ran from store, extricated the pup from the fender, and carressing him carried him into the store. And the cars moved on, every one in them glad that such ah innocent, foolish pup had not been hurt.-Turf. Field and Farm

 Cornelius Kipp Bailey of Jamaica, L. l., has left to each of the six living members of the Gould family, who are his grand nieces and naphews, S154.75. Among the legatees is the Countess De Castellane who greatly surprised and fattered the old gentleman by sending him an invitation to her wedding. Colonel w. I. Squires of Cleveland has sent three sons to the front with the Ohio troops and his remaining | fourth son is awaiting orders to go with a battery when it is called into the field. "All my sons desired to go and that is the spirit that I expected them to manifest" said Colonel Squires, "and if I had seventeen sens l would want them all to enlist'
 Governor Hogg of Texas, who is much interested in dress reform, has just given party which was atuendad by something like 200 of the state cap ital's best society.

They attracted no attention and no one knew who they were until performer, made up as Colonel Roosevelt, came out to sing a song about Marching Through Cuba Thereupon Reed gave a wild, blood curdling yell, the battle cry of the Rough Riders, which terrified and nearly stampeded the audience. Then it was whispered about who they were and the show was stopped until the au- dience was tired out from cheering and embracing the returned campaigners.

ATTRACTIVE ADVERTISING.

One by one the substantial business firms of this town are making time contracts with The Republican for advertising space. This newspaper is now earry-ng more high class advertising than during the winter months, when it's business was extraordinarily good. Advertisers have been of fered every facility by The Re publican to verify its claim that it's circulation is gree:er than the combined circuIaIion Of all the other dailies in Arizona, and they have become convinced that an advertisement in this news paper brings profitable results. They are out in force in this is sue.
 One advertiser who deals in s. curities said yesterday that he had received applications from people in New York, New Eng land and other parts of the country. This is not strange, as The Republican has a growing list in the eastern states and is on file in every chamber of com merce and mining exchange nf importance in the United States.
 Advertising is net an expense. It is a business investment If you want to invest your money proftably you will therefore put your advertisement in such a paper as the Arizona Republican, that is read regularly and thor cughly by everybody worth reaching, and has no rival as an advertising medium.

Those who are interested in the lat est experiments in modern arms must be secretly hoping that the Spaniards in Porto Rico will put up pretty stiff defence.

USURI L I us.

The Eugene Register tells tine
exact truth about Interest ana
usury when it says that "Money
is a commodity, and like wheat
or anv other commodity, its price
is governed by economic laws
which no legislature can sup
plant" We are in favor of re-
pealing all interest and usury
laws. Then there would be a
competition among lenders to
get their capital at interest at
Some rate, which would have a
direct tendency to cheaper inter
est, while under the present laws
the object of lenders is to get the
highest price allowed by law and
as much more as it is possible tc
get, and avoid in some way the
usury laws.
