The State Historical Society has re
quested the legislature to make an ap-
preparation for the enlargement of
space to accommodate its immense and
constantly growing library. While the
INDEX on general principles is opposed
to appropriations, we believe that mon
ey in this instance is actually necessary.
The files of all the newspapers pub
lished in the state are contained in this
library and much valuable information
can be gained by the public from this
source. Historical relics of divers de-
scriptlons are preserved by the society
which at some future time may be of
great value to the state. In our opin-
ion the legislature should not overlook
the welfare of the society even if it ne
cessitates economy elsewhere, knowing
as we do, that economy can easily be
enforced at all of our institutions.

THE following from the Pratt Union
strikes responsive chord and we be-
lieve that every taxpayer who reads
will JON in with hearty amen:
The fee and salary bill regulating sal
aries of county officers was passed two
years ago, hence every county officer IN
the state knew what his salary was to
be before he was elected. If it was too
low, he was not forced 10 take the office.
There were plenty Of men Just as good
who would have been glad to take the
place at the salary provided for. We
believe that % to SO per cent. of the
people favor leaving this law as it now
stands, and that the officers who do not
think it enough for their valuable SER
vices, may be permitted to resign. We
believe in paying an officera fair salary,
yet when they elect to accept the am
cunt provided, and struggle hard
against all odds to secure the place, we
believe it fair to the people for them to
receive just the terms of the agreement.

THE Senator from Montana, who
succeeds Senator Mantle, is classed as
bimetalIist with a leaning for practi-
cal compromise IN favor of gold.'' In
other words, he is one of those ''bimet-
allists" who believe the ratio should be
changed to fit the commercial parity,
and when the parity changes, as re-
suit of unfair legislation, then change
the ratio again. In other words, COM
NIT your crime and then fit the punish
ment to it. Such system of bimetal-
lism would be worse than the gold stan
dard. The latter robs the people on

mate IN advance about how much of
their property they Will be called on to

lism no man could estimate the amount
of his obligations. If he borrowed a
thousand dollars when the ratio was Is

pay the ratio were pressed down to 80

he would have to surrender 1000 of his

they exist under the gold standard, and
having become accustomed to them we
make our arrangements accordingly.
But under sliding scale of thimble rig
bimetallism the ratio might 20 on down
to 81 to l, whereupon the debtor would
have to deliver up $4,000 to pay his
81 900 debt. Real bimetallists have no
use for the sliding scale.
The Montana Senator might just as
we'll be classed as a gold standard re-

Captain Baliat with twenty gen
der among the applicants. and the
United States troops protected Colonel
Moale, the officer having charge of the
payments. Suddenly Captain Baliat,
who was mounted, was surrounded by
a mob, struck by stones and bottles
and shot in the arm. His men prompt
ly fired volley into the mob, three per
sons being instantly killed and thirteen
wounded, two of whom died this MORN
ing. Colonel Moale's guard promptly
surrounded the money office, but took
no part in the fighting.
For a few minutes there was a lively
conflict, carbines and machetes being
used freely. Captain Baliat was the
only gen d'arme wounded.
The dead were colored Cuban SOL
diers.
This morning payment was resumed
under heavy guard. There are ru-
mors that force is being organized to
attack the pay Office, but these are
probably unfounded.

Santiago de Cuba, was at Cuevitas at
the time and soon restored order

COLONEL KENYON TO GO
LITTLE DOUBT THAT his REGI-

War Department Thinks Garrison
Duty viii Give Men Chance to Be
come Acclimated For Active Cam
paign Work-Will Have Plenty of
Chance to Do Fighting.
Special to The Herald.l

Washington, Aug. 23.-Colonel Ken
non has made a report to the adjutant
general in which he speaks of the con-
dition Of his regiment as excellent, and
is fully prepared to leave for the Pre-
sidio. There seems to be no doubt that
this regiment will be the first of the
new volunteer organizations to reach
San Francisco.
1t is stated on good authority that
the war department has suggested to
General Otis that the recruits to be
sent to Manila in September be first
assigned to the duty of garrisoning
such places as may be taken by the
army in the campaign. Colonel Ken
mons regiment would come in this cate
CORY, and it therefore seems unlikely
that the men will see any service on
the firing line for some months TO come.
The idea of the department in making
this suggestion appears to be that gar
rison duty will give the new regiment
an opportunity TO perfect their drill
and also to become somewhat acclimat-
ed before undertaking the active work
of campaigning This does not mean,
however. that the troops will have no
to do any fighting, for the
experience of the American forces in
the Philippines has shown that the ma
tives have not hesitated to attack
towns garrisoned by American troops,
and have fought some lively engage
ments. The departments present pro-
gramme involves the active employ
ment of the entire military force as
soon as it can be advantageously used
in literal roundup"
The mountain boys will no doubt see
plenty of service before they leave the
Philippines, even if they are not or
dered to the front at once.

PREPARING TO RECEIVE DEWEY
PROPOSED TO CHANGE DATE OF

Date Be Changed.

New York, Aug. 2S.-The plan and
scope committee of the Dewey celebra-
ton committee today took up the sug-
gestion that the naval and land pa
rades be held on Friday and Saturday,
Sept. 80 and SO, instead of Saturday and
Monday, Sept. 80 and Oct. 2, as had
been intended.
Captain Robley D. Evans told the
committee that it was quite feasible for
Admiral Dewey to arrive day earlier
than he had set, and, accordingly, the
following cabiegram was sent:
Admiral George Dewey, Villefranche,
France: Committee in charge of your
reception requests that, if convenient,
you arrange so as to arrive here on
night of Thursday, Sept. rs, instead of
29th. SO that celebration can be had on
Friday and Saturday. Awaiting reply.
