gold standard 10 be the foundation of
our currency system. The republicans
will have the power to take such ac-
ton, and they owe 1T to themselves to
take it. Theirs is the party of sound
money. There has been considerable
hesitancy on this question of a money
standard, due largely to the weakness
of the sound money man in the con-
gress. They will not be weak in the
coming session, and we shall look for
decided action on the currency ques-
ton. The sooner Mr.. Payne's sug-
gestion is adopted the better for every
section of this great country.

OUR ANNUAL DYNAMITE SPREE

The Chicago Tribune has had the en-
terprise to gather and print statistics
from s:xty-two of the principal cities
of the nation showing the results Of
our so-called patriotic fervor of July 4
i As these statistics give only the results
| in what may be termed our large cities
1t is certainly conservative, in seeking
to get some idea of the general result
by including the multitude OF small
CITIES. towns and villages, to multiply
the Tribune figures by two. which
makes a truly terrible showing. The
number of killed reported is six; in
jured 2,14S. Fire losses due to fire.

works to get the attention of the public
prints, saying nothing of many more
thousands. some of whom are seriously
hurt but for obvious reasons conceal
the effect of their recklessness, and
others who suffer from relatively in
consequential wounds. And in add
ton to these, considerably more than
a quarter of a million of dollars worth
of property destroyed, and goodness
only knows how many millions squan-

July money to burn" and which goes

Such direful results widely dissent
mated over big nation provoke little
thought, but if we should read some
day in the press of a mysterious vista
ton of Providence upon some COM
pact section of country, scattering
death, desolation and suffering among
upwards OF 5000 victims we should
talk about it with awe ard horror. But
where is the difference? Is not life
and limb as precious in one section OF
the country as another? And is not
property as valuable to its owners
here as there? 1t may be fhankless
and proftless task to talk against so
deeply rooted an institution as our
annual fireworks spree, and indeed few
persons would wish to include all
forms of explosive fervor which marks
Independence day. There 5 little
harm and much pleasure in the dis
play of marvelously fashioned pieces
OF fireworks which fill the darkened
heavens with flames and glittering
stars and falling fiery rain OF many
hues. Such a display appeals to the
love of beauty in color and also N
form and movement A great exhib;-
ton of such fireworks may command
the attention of rational men. But
there can be nothing but eondemna-
ton for the new death-dealing rolls Of !

noises and equally unpleas- |

The nation may be said |
to be going crazy if it long endures
