The Hucks,ers to he Regulated.

Much complaint has been made about the loud
cries of hucksters selling goods on the streets
Residents OF the northeast section OF the city
have been particularly annoyed and most of the
complaints have come from that section. The
law forbids the making of needless noise and out
cries, and although the court holds that bucks
tiers have the right to make outcries, they must
keep within reasonable bounds. The police have
been instructed to see that they do not make
nuisances OF themselves.

The District commissioners have received a long
petition from George ". Talbert and other resi-

tendent OF Street Cleaning to whom the matter
was referred, reported that the street is being
sprinkled twice a day, which is the best posi-
Bile arrangement for the money that is available.

A Vinegar Fiend.

A curious case is reported by DR.. r
M. Hughes, one of st. Louis medical
experts and connected with the city dis
pensary. The doctor states, according
to the Republic, that a slight flashing
eyed little, woman of about 30 years,
who acted like a bunch of unstrung
nerves, fitted into the dispensary day
or two since, and took seat. The doe
tor examined the patient and asked
what the trouble was. He found she
was suffering from stomach trouble
brought on by excessive use of vinegar,
to which she had been addicted for sew
eral months. She said: AT first it
was simply to quench thirst, but now
IL has grown into confirmed habit
which l cannot check. 1t is not only
the taste l crave, but the effect. 1t
fires my mind and makes me feel SO
queer sometimes 1 do not know where

somewhat at loss how to treat it. II
she drank simple cider vinegar il would
be different, but the combination that
is usually sold nowadays for cider vim
egar is far from being pure. 1t is a
mixture of strong acids which are well
nigh poison, as is shown in the case of
this patient. The drugs were so power
full they have eaten out the lining of her
stomach and infused foreign element

gratifying to notice"

TO MR.. DINGLEY's CREDIT.
Which Speaks Highly for His
Tariff Bill.

Not so very long ago the free trade
papers were ridiculing the Dingley bill
and predicting dire disasters for the
finances of the government. In his
own behalf, and in behalf of the party
which passed the bill, MIR. Dingley
stated that the receipts. during the
early months when the law was in OPP
Grafton, were low by reason of advance
importauons to escape the new and
higher duties. He was right, as time
has shown.
The bill has been in operation about
II months. 1t now supports the govern
ment from the standpoint of peace
footing. A recourse to figures will
show the statement we'll founded. Here
is table giving the receipts from GUS
toms and internal taxes for the calendar
year lust passed:
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1899-02-18

If these sums are deducted from the
total receipts mentioned, there remains
in round numbers $365,00O.00O, an even
81 200, 900 for every day in the year. Or
dinariy this would have been ample,
though the increased expenses made
necessary by the war will make some
of the new war taxes necessity for
some years to come.
If there had been no war, the Ding
ley bill would have furnished ample
means to run the government. Of that
there is no doubt. Up to the end of the
year the war expenditures were esti-
mated at $194OO0,000. The bond sale,
and $60,O0O,0O0 brought in by war taxes,
have covered that and left material
surplus, which, however, will be needed
before matters are in normal shape.
Everything considered, the Dingley bill
has done well. The trainers have no
reason to be ashamed of their work.

Not a Military Nation.

Is one that fosters, encourages and
maintains at al hazards strong and
sver-ready military force to which
every peaceful interest of the citizen

state itself is concerned, it has mani
tested little, If any. tendency in the d.
rection of military purpose or ambition.
Therefore, it goes without saying that
we are not a military nation in the gen.
orally accepted Interpretation of that
term. But military people we are, al
ways have been. and bid fair always to
be. AS a nation, except in the cmer-
Cency of war, less has been done to
stimulate the military tendencies of
our people, and still less to formulate
anyuniform plan for military organiza-
ton, than in almost any other govern
ment in the world. On the contrary,
we have had preached to us since the
days of the Declaration of Independ-
ence doctrines most emphatically op.
posed to standing military establish
ment, and, despite the obligations inn
posed by the constitution, the govern
ment has persistently neglected the
organization by law of the military
bodies within the states. Indeed, this
apparent aversion to military estab-
iishment, based as it was upon early
experiences in our history, seems to
have furnished some ready leaders of
narrow political school opportunity
and pretext for the fallacious doctrine
that the theory and principles of our
government were from the beginning
opposed to military establishment
of any kind. Despite this doctrine,
= however, it must be admitted by those
who read the constitution of the
United States that congress was vested
with fullest powers ito raise and sup
port armies" AMI to provide for organ
izing, arming and disciplining militia
&c an extent not limited. That same
instrument made the president the

time, make the comparative values Of
gold and silver very different from
what they have been during recent
years, embracing period when there
was an apparent over-production of
silver and an under-producton of gold.
If it were possible for silver to be
worth more in the market relatively
than gold, no one would care to advo-
cate free silver, because it would be
more profitable to sell silver for gold
as commercial product than to coin
it into dollars, which would be worth
more than their coinage value.
The discussion of the money ques-
ton has been good lesson for the
United States. The free silver agita-
ton of 1896 was much in the nature of a
campaign of education for the people.
But the best school, after all, is expert
ence, and the wise man is he who prof
its as much by the experiences of others
as by his own. 1t is wiser to do this
and it is generally much less expensive,

Admiral Dewey's cabin aboard the
Olympia is filled with presents from his
admirers, including souvenirs of all
kinds. Some of the most beautiful OF
these" writes John T. McCutcheon,
"are presents from Aguinaldo. The
dictator has the greatest admiration
and respect for Dewey, and has singu-
lar habit of making an elaborate gift
to the admiral whenever the latter
calls him down. That accounts large
ly for the number of Aguinaldo's pres
ents that adorn the cabin. In all the
dealings Admiral Dewey has had with
Aguinaldo he has treated him with the
greatest courtesy when courtesy was
called for, and the greatest severity
when frmness was the thing; but in
spite of the rebuffs Aguinaldo's notes
accompanying the presents invariably
refer to the admiral as my honorable
and illustrious friend"

chat over the counter. Mamie was dimin-

Say, Mamie" remarked Sadie, "did We
see them calendars on the table two rooms
over?"
(Which ones?"
Chem 25cent ones"
"Did l see 'em?" with peculiar emphasis
from Mamie as she pulled open & drawer
and pointed triumphantly to two specimens
of the said calendars.
"You bought two of 'em?" in awe
struck tones from Sadie.
"Well, amt bought 'em yet. l just
picked out two of EN- and put 'em away.
They'll mark the ones that's left down to
five cents pretty soon. Then III put these
here back and buy 'em, quick. See?
Sadie saw, and her mouth fell open in adj
miring awe. Then she recovered herself.
Say! will We save one for me?"
"Sure"
Sadie rushed off, and inside of two min
utes third calendar was in the drawer

GOLD AND SILVER.
tiOns Which Has Unsettled
Free Silyeritep.

It is beyond question that many SEN
sible and talented men, believing in
free silver, have advocated the free
coinage of both the precious metals by
our government; and it is undeniable
that in the light of existing conditions
many of these advocates are beginning
TO ask whether changing conditions will
not compel radical change of judg-
ment On their part regarding this ques-
ton.
The startling statement is made by
Hon. George E. Roberts. the director OF
the mint, in his recent annual report,
that the gold coinage of the world in
1897 was the largest ever recorded,
reaching an aggregate value of over
$437 100000. against little over $685.
100000 in 1896. Of the former. $146,.
100000 was recoinage. leaving nearly
$500 100000 as the years net addition
to the stock of gold coin. Mr.. Roberts
also reports that the stocks of gold
in sight in European banks and treas
ulISS ilOiu lOc~ W loot ANU
$3.50 100000, or over 40 per cent. and in
the United States. Canada. Australia
and South America, over $4,000. 900
So that nearly $l,OOoOoo,OOO in gold ha:
been accounted for.
This sudden increase in the amount
of gold coin in circulation is coinciden,
with marked increase in the prices
Of many commodities. Free silver wa:
advocated largely because of the ap
parent scarcity of gold and the ap
parent reduction in the prices of many
of our agricultural products. The rad
ical change in these conditions has lee
many free silver men to change theil
minds on the silver question. The flu
ture of free silver must depend on fu
ture conditions. 1t is possible that ar
increasing production of gold will, il
