What is all this hue and cry
about free silver for? To ride into
office on. 1t was once a prominent
issue, but has been relegated to the
background as other and more vi
tai questions come up for final set
element. But the democratic party
must have an old hobby, they do
not seem capable of grasping the
full scope of the issues as they come
up. The minis of India are soon
to be thrown open to the free coin
oge of silver, brought abont by the
exigencies of the people, pressure OF
public opinion, and demand for an
enlarged medium. Public opinion
forced on this war for humanity, il
caused congress, the cabinet and the
president to surrender, it forced the
money power to the rear and has
fought the war to successful con-
clusion. The same influence pro-
duced Cromwell and freed Eng
land. It matters not what party
or influence works the change, it is
now being wrought out by the pres
sure Of public opinion. This talk
about SILVER being the paramount
issue, is buncombe, is simply trick
of office seekers to make the people
believe it to be the panacea for all
the public ills. But the the masses
have been reading, and thinking.
and this war for humanity has been
the means of awakening an interest
never before felt, and it will, no
doubt, cause revolution in politics
aud speedily change the prevailing
conditions. The party which will
first act in behalf OF the people will
maintain their power, but trusts,
and combines and pools must go, as
they are far worse in influence and
and effect than any monetary ques-
ton could possibly be.
The agitation of an almost obso'
lete issue will not prove efficacious
With a thinking people, nothing but
She advocacy Of true reforms al
along the line, will win.

A HOT gIME.
Cumberland B ST Association Me mbers
Pulled Up.

Prac ices That the Association Cannot
Tolerate-Th Whole Matter Referred
to the Executive Committee.
At the annual melting of the Cumber-
land Bar Association the other afternoon
there was quite a lively discussion. One
of the members brought up the matter
Of Improper solicitation by some OF the
association. One gentleman cited an IN
stance of client informing him thab
brother lawyer had solicited his business
Offering to take it on terms much cheaper
thpn the Others and under the association
scale of fees.
1t is complained that such is the COM
petition with the congested state of the
profession that lawyers have not hesitated
to haul poor debtors before disclosure
commissioners and take other steps to
try and squeeze money out of the poor
devils when they knew perfectly well
that they hadn' t a cent to their names.
Others send circulars to parties offering
to do their legal work at prices much be-
low the association fees, and still others
cffer 10 do the work of assignee in in
soIvency cases if chosen, at for less rates
than what prevails at the bar. 1t is
even claimed that not infrequently men
try to obtain, and succeed in getting.
chosen assignee who are not members of
the bar.
We are informed that one great difficult
ty that has blocked some of the younger
lawyers, arises from the fact that while
they have joined the Bar association in
order to be in touch with mem bers of the
bar in good standing, others of their age
have not joined so as not to be bound
| by the Association schedule and conse
quently the free lances make it up hill
work for the first named.
| The whole matter was referred to the
executive committee OF the association,
of which Hon. Charles F. Libby is chair
man, for investigation. and later they
will make a report.

lens and be reflected down on his table
by mirror properly adjusted to the lens,
the officer would sit with his chart out
spread before him. Every moving OBJ
ject on the surface of the water would
be caught instantly by the lens and re-
fieeted by the mirror down on the chart.
On this chart the exact location of each
mine in the bay would be marked by a
number. Il We will suppose a battleship
slowly steaming toward the spot where
the mine is set. She is moving cautiously
through hostile waters. AS soon as she
gets anywhere near the mine her photo
graph is thrown down on the chart. As
she moves toward the hidden peril, so her
photograph moves fatefully over the
chart toward the point where the mines
number appears. At last the moving
photograph on the chart covers up the
mine number, and, presto the operator
presses the button, and the ship Is blown
up.
"A very small motor attached to a cap
tive balloon sent up from shipboard would
enable the operator to steer it in any de-
sired direction and to detect at great
distance with powerful glasses the ap-
proach of an enemy's squadron, which in
formation he could telephone down to the
commanding officer. He could even watch
a battle in which his own ship engaged
with comparative safety high up above
the range of the machine guns"

sMoKELEss POWDER NEEDED
Spain Said to Be Better Supplied
Than America.

The engagement at San Juan has called
attention again to an important defect in
our naval service-the absence OF smoke
less powder. The reports received at the
Navy Department show that in this parti-
cular our Navy is seriously handicapped.
Spain has equipped all her vessels with
this ammunition. and it forms an import
ant part of the ordnance supplies for the
land Notifications.
The Naval ordnance officers have de-
voted a good deal of attention to the in
vention and manufacture of a smokeless
powder of their own, and it was on this
work that Lieut.. Bernardou, of the tor
pedo boat Winslow, was engaged at the
outbreak of hostilites.
Our danger was shown particularly at
Porto Rico, and has been shown in all
engagements participated in by the
blockading vessels Our ships are immed-
lately enyeloped in cloud of thick smoke
after firing a gun, which renders the
training of the guns a matter of great
difficulty and makes the vessel firing an
easy target for the enemy.
AT San Juan the reports show that
great difficulty was encountered in looat-
ing the land batteries. This was due to
the fact that no smoke followed the dis
charge of the guns.
