portant changes are to be authorized
in the construction of the battIeship
Missouri and her sister ships, the

The thickness of the armor belt is
to be decreased so that the weight
reduction will be at least 200 tons
per ship. This is to be accomplish.
ed without in any way impairing the
effectiveness and destructive powers
of the three battleships. It is claim

may be decreased probably one half,

craft than before. The Missouri will

Gold and Silver Money.
City Times.

hdnsdS lily 4iiiiS5s
Horace Boies has been interviewed
again, and he informs the public
that be is a ''bimetallist." He would
have to be that or quit being dem
ocrat. The principles of democracy
declare as positively for gold and
silver as the basis of the nation s
monetary system as they declare
against high protection and its prod.
ucts, which are industrial monopo-
lies and discriminating laws in the
interest of capital combinations.
SAYS the coinage ratio is not essen
tial. He seems to be under the i'm
impression that the ratio should
conform to the commercial value of
the metals in an arbitrary way. The
history of coinage does not Justify
Mr.. Boies' conclusion.
If gold were demonetized and sll-
yer made the only metal money of
final redemption the present differ
ence between the coinage value of
gold and the commercial value of
silver bullion would be reversed.
The arts and sciences and N echanics
could not find use for nearly all the
gold production, and the market
price for it would certainly be made
by the surplus in it's anxiety to sell.
But, having a fixed value for coinage
purposes, and its coinage being free
and unlimited, naturally and neces-
sarily its bullion value would be its
coinage value. The same thing
would be true of silver. but of no
other metals, because gold and sill
yer are the only metals that possess
al the requisite qualities for money
metals. The experience of com.
nerce and money changing for thou

How to Kill The Trusts.

Senator Jones has the right idet
about the trust problem. He says
there would be no trusts if it were
not for the gold standard, a shrink
ing currency and falling prices. We
are proud to see the Senator re.echo
ing the sentiments SO frequently
expressed in this paper.
The gold standard is the father
and mother and wet nurse and mid
wife of the trusts; it is in fact the
whole family, and the way to get
rid of the trust evil is to end the
greater evil of the gold standard.
Trusts are organized to sustain
prices, which have steadily declined
since 1873, because the annual sup
ply of currency was limited and
contracted by the unlawful demone,
tization of silver. The sole purpose
of the gold standard was to contract
the volume of basic money to
point where it could be cornered
and controlled by men and combina-
tions possessing large means, with
the fact we'll in mind that those who
control the worlds money are the
worlds masters.
This is the whole meaning and
purpose of the gold standard, and it
is SO simple and plain that any one
ought to understand it. Another
feature of the gold standard is the
impoverishment of the poor and the
artificial enrichment of the rich, by
which means the poor are made the
dependents and servants of the rich, |
and subjected to their will and |
pleasure.
The gold standard has almost
completed its mission in this respect
1t has taken all the money away
from the people and concentrated 1t
in vast boards in the possession of
the superfiuouslY rich. individuals
among the people can no longer get
the means to 60 into business, and
consequently all competition is con-
fined to the big establishments, and
these in turn combine and organize
themselves into trusts and bring the
people to their knees in helpless
serfdom.
But the people have the remedy
in their own hands if they will use
it. They are still permitted to vote.
The ballot has not yet been taken
from them, as it will be if they delay
much longer. BY the use of the
ballot they can place a man in the
Presidents chair who will obey the -,
law and put silver on an equality .
with gold. :
This will double the volume of
basic money already in existence
and increase to the same extent the
annual oatput. 1t will also enable :
the people to supply themselves
with money by digging it out of the
ground, regardless of any action by
government; and they can use this
money in establishing competition s
and breaking down the trusts. e
Let it be remembered that sill yer q
has never been legally demonetized =
IN this country. Fraud vitiates all :,
contracts and renders null any law Fl
enacted by fraud, as the law demon 5
stizing silver was. Silver has lost
1one of its legal standing in this
and all that is needed to
restore prosperity among the people p
s to place q man in the Presidents II
hair who will open the minis freely Il
% the coinage of both gold and sill. Il
'er, as the law requires.
That will settle the trust problem, tt

DR.. CONATY TO PREACH

Mgr. Conaty is to deliver an address
on the life of Father Mathew at the
semi-centennial celebration of the
founding of the Father Mathew society
i'll East Cambridge, Thursday.
The Catholic university over which
Mgr. Ccnaty presides was never in such
prosperous condition as it is today. This
result is largely due to his ceaseless
efforts He possesses in a marked de-
gree those executive and administra-
tive qualities essential to the position.
The univ ersity is the highest institution
of learning under the control of the
Catholic church in the United States.
1t was founded by the muni1cence of

Why should man want woman to
devote her life to the washtub or the

to be office clerks, while others aspire

The marriage problem will be solved

educated to lf-support-and not be-

The modern apartment house, with
its convenient methods and housekeep-

EXPECTS GOOD RESULTS
Commissioner Brady Thinks the
Water VIII Bun Strongly Today

When Water Commissioner John G.
Brady makes his daily round of the
reservoirs and the streams that sup
ply them, today, he expects to find the
brooks running stronger than for sew
eral weeks. The rainfall during the
past week or two has soaked the
ground pretty thoroughly, and, while
there is no frost to amount to anything,
the commissioner feels confident that
the brooks will start up.
The force of masons engaged in
building the foundation for boilers to
be used in operating the pumping sta
ton at Goes pond worked all day yes
terday, and the work of placing the
two boilers is well under way. Mr..
Brady does not favor the idea of work
ing on the Lords day, but the work
men expressed a unanimous desire to
work Sunday, and make Christmas day
their Sabbath. The carpenters did
nothing yesterday, as the noise attend
ing their operations would have dis
turbed the neighborhood, while the
maSons We're under cover and out OF
sight and hearing Of any one who might
take exceptions.
Mr.. Brady spent most of the day
about the pumping station and Parsons
reservoir, where he found the water
running in from Lynde brook in great
er volume than for weeks past. The
new duplex pump purchased a short
time ago has arrived and will be
placed with the others in the neal
future. The new pump has capacity
of about 1,250000 gallons in "a hours
while the capacity of the two other
pumps owned by the city, together, is
about 100000 gallons a day From
the present outlook, Mr. Brady thinks
it will take about 10 days longer before
the pumping apparatus will be ready
for service.

J0UBERT'S KIND HEART
Why Beers Pick Off Officers In
stead of PriVateS,

A conversation 1 had with Gen. Jou-
bert, when l met him, with the other
Boer leaders. at Newcastle, South At
RIGA. in 1881, may nov be read with
interest. 1 was deploring the num-
Der of casualties among our officers
on the day of Majuba. "Oh," replied
Gen. Joubert, 1--WE give special instrue-
tions to our men always to pick off
your officers" / said: "Thank you:
why are we to receive so much atten-
tion?" Now / think there was sound
reasoning in Gen Joubert's reply,
which was as follows: you officers
are all rich, and are quite independ-
ent of your profession: you can go into
your army, and leave it when you
please: but the privates are poor men.
and they cannot get away when they
please, and they must fight when they
are ordered to, and it is how they get
their living Besides, we have no
quarrel with them, and we do not want
to kill one of them if we can help it,"
l told Joubert of the promotion of Hec-
tor Macdonald from the ranks, and of
the claymore that the officers of his
regiment had presented him with. The
general was much interested, and said:
THAT brave officer must have his
sword back again. I will search the
Transvaal for it, and offer e5 reward
for It," Gen. Joubert recovered Lieut.
Hector MacDonald's sword from a Boer
farmer who, when he heard the partic-
ulars, declined to accepts the offered
reward, and Gen. Joubert handed his
sword back to Lieut.. Macdonald at
wcastle.-London Times.
