WANT MORE TINE.

With a view of gaining time fol
the consideration of the business
before the present general Assem-
bly, a Joint resolution was intro.
duced Monday evening in both
houses to knock out Sundays
which have been counted as legis
lstive days. This would give ample
time for the disposition of some
very important measures now pen
cling before the legislature.

One of the largest items of ex.
pense that will be put upon the
govern ment as a result of the war
with Spain will be foundin the in
crease of the pensions on file, and
the number is growing every day.
There was q loss of about 5000
men in the Cuban war on the
American side, the loss in the Philip
pines up to the end of March
was about 1000 men. The total
costs of pensions for these wars
will go far up into the millions, in
fact almost whole regiments in
the Cuban struggle have applied
for pensions, We wonder if there
will ever be all end to this.

A Missouri farmer has found
that by planting onions and po-
tatoes in the same field in al
ternate rows the onions become
30 strong that they bring tears to
the eyes of the potatoes in such
volumes that the roots of the vines
are kept moist and a big crop
raised in spite of the drouth. The

Che killing of British and Ameri-
can officers and men at Apia by
Samoans will tend to strengthen
the DO nds of friendship between
the United States and England and
weaken the love these two great
nations have for Germany. The
killing was the authority of a
German plantation owner who
was carrying into effect the an
nounced policy Of the German
Consul. The war with Spain has
made us a world nation, and this
slaughter Of our officers and sal
Tors by these treacherous Samo-
ans cannot be overlooked, and
diplomacy cannot wash out the
outrage. They should be taught
lesson and SHOWN that Amerl-
cans and their lives should and
must be respected. This can be
easily done with the use of few
more warships and men. Then
furthermore, if Germany wishes
to uphold the natives in their war
against the United States, then
notify her that the issue is ac-
cepted and cut off all relations
with her. If she then desires to
fight us, let her come across the
Atlantic and open the game.

The free silverite who wrote the article,
Republican Harmony Disturbed" which
appeared in the Press this week, shows
himself so densely ignorant as to the speak
ership contest in Lansing last week, that his
effort is hardly worthy of notice. Suffice 1t
to say, Rep Mason decided on Monday that
he should vote for Mr.. Adams for speaker
and told each of the other aspirants Just
how he should vote. With two excep-
tons every one of Mr.. Cartons Shiawassee
friends who went to Lansing desiring to
assist him, after looking the situation over,
advised Mr.. Mason to vote Just as he did
for Adams. Further, Mr.. Mason's vote
was not In anywise influenced by Gov.
Pingree's abuse, nor does he give that as a
reason for voting as he did. The State
ments made by the author of the Press
article are so at variance with the actual
facts that we do not wonder it appeared
without bis signature.

Currency Reform.

At the Annual Meeting of the American
Economic Association held in December,
1897. 1t was voted to appoint committee Of
five to consider and report upon the subject
of currency reform In the United States.
The committee appointed consists of Pro-
fessor Taylor of the University of Mich
igan. chairman, Professor Taussig of Har-
ward University, Professor jerks of Cornell
University, Professor Sherwood of Johns
Hopkins University, and Professor KinIey
of the University of Illinois. The report of
the committee was presented at the meet
ing of the Association In New Haven, last
month. 1t may be briefly summarized as
follows: The need of monetary and bank
ing reform in the United States arises chief
ly from ~ The insecurity of the standard
of value, (2) the lack of elasticity in the
of adequate banking facilities in the newer
and more backward districts. To insu,e
stability the United States should frankly
recognize that the actual standard Is gold,
the only alternative. international bimet
alism, being for the time out of the ques-
ton. The task of maintaining the standard
should devoIve upon the banks Elasticity
may be secured by making the bank cir
culation profitable to the banks and by i'm
proving the machinery Of issue and re-
demption. To provide increased banking
facilities of the newer parts of the country
a system of branch banking should be
adopted. In conclusion, the report calls up
on all friends of reform to sink their differ
ences and unite upon a working compromise.
ut is safe to say that, of the five or six
currency bills that, during the last twelve
months, have been in any serious sense be-
fore the country, the passage of any one
would have resulted in improvement and
would have smeasureably satisfied the de-
mands of reformers."
