FOR MUCH NEEDED FRACTIONAL
PAPER CURRENCY.

One of the most important needs of
so gr-at a volume of business is trans
acted by mail is a convenient fractional
paper currency-notes of small denom-
nations that may be easily enclosed in
an envelope and sent by mail. The
absence of such convenient currency
is decided inconvenience if not an
actual hardship to many who at pres
ent in sending small sums by mail
are compelled to go to the trouble and
expense of purchasing a money order
or postal note, which, besides the ad-
ditional cost, causes more or less in
convenience to both sender and re-
ceiver. In sending coin through the
mail there is risk, while stamps, often
as inconvenient to get as postal note
or money order, are frequently an i'm
position on the receiver, and may be-
come hopelessly stuck together, in
which case the government does not
redeem them.
The general public scarcely realizes
the amount of money constantly cir
culating through the mails. Every
mail order man or other whose bust
ness requires him to send or receive
money by mail especially publishers, a
| large portion of whose business is
transacted in that manner, keenly ap-
preciates the need of more con-
venent medium of exchange, and
these great interests especially would
appreciate the filling of this long felt
popular want.
1t is gratifying to know that bill
is to be presented at the next session
of Congress providing for the issuance
of silver certificates in denominations
of ten, twenty-five and fifty cents as
we'll as those already authorized. This
will simply be an enlargement of the
scope of the silver certificate law and
in no way concerns the money or cur
rency question, nor introduces any new
idea or principle into our financial
system, and there is no reason why
Congress should not be unit in pass
ing this measure.

RECAArING.

Such storm of indignation has been
raised about the administration ears
over the report that threats had been
made to take steps against prominent
opponents of the administration i'm
perial policy on the ground that their
opposition was treason" that the au-
thorities at Washington have been at
some haste Ito deny the truth of the
report. Inc threat, however, was so
absurd thatrthe few who took it serious
ly merely regarded it as a bluff on the
part OF the administration to brighten
away criticism of Its unwise, unpatriot-
ic and un-American Philippines policy.
If it was a bluff it was a sorry one
and extremely ill-timed and ill-consid-
cred, for instead of silencing the critics
of imperialism it but added fuel to The
flames OF their Indignation, furnishing
in itself an apparent illustration of the
tendency of an imperial and military
government. Hence the alacrity in ad-
ministraticn circles in denying that the
cabinet charged treason against Sena-
tor Hoar, Andrew Carnegie and other
leading and patriotic citizens who op-
pose the Wall street policy of grab and
greed
1t is admitted. however, that there
has been "somes exchange of opinion"
among cabinet officers and "close

ponents of the Presidents policy,

This hint that criticism of the Wall
street policy of Imperialism should
cease because while not treason it
tends in that direction, will have pre-
cisely the opposite effect from that in
tended. The hint itself provokes re-
sentful criticism. The average Amer
Jean is extremely touchy on the sub
ject of his right of free speech and crit
icism of public servants and policies
Any insinuation that to question the
Presidential infallibility is "lese ma
jeJte' will be instantly resented.
1t is strange that so little knowledge
of the American character exists in
administration circles as this publica-
ton would seem to indicate.
After all, what is this great policy
OF the administration, which ordinary
mortals must not dare to criticise?

The Song Popular with Dewey's Men Sung
In New York by Captain Coghlan.
At the Union League dinner given at
New York to the officers of the cruiser
Raleigh last Friday night, Capt. Cogh-
Ian, of that warship, caused great mer-
riment by reciting "Hoch der Kaiser. :"
been importuned time and time again
that he consented to repeat the words
of the song which Dewey's men used
to amuse themselves by believing at
their loudest in Manila Bay, and, for
that matter, are still singing.
The clubmen begged the captain to
sing the song, but he declared with
characteristic emphasis:
why, l never sang note in my
life
1t was only after he had been be-
sieged from all sides that he consented
to recite the verses of ''Hoch der Kais-
err" and he rendered them with dia-
lect so true to the real thing that his
hearers marveled at his versatility.
Here are the verses recited:
Der Kaiser of dis Fatherland

Capt. Coghlan is certainly entitled
to the championship for indiscretion.
He is lucky to escape with his COM
mission on account of his recital at
the convivial board Oh some verses of
doggerel, reproduced in another col
umn, grossly ridiculing the German
Emperor. His sadly indiscreet utter
ances were made under circumstances
that come dangerously near calling for
his dismissal from the service. 1t will
be remembered that Germany promptly
relieved her indiscreet admiral, Won
Diedrichs, of his command at Manila.
Capt. Coghlan is gallant sailor, but
he evidently lacks the discretion that
should belong to the holder of COM
mission of the United States.

LIEUT.. SISSON'S ROMANCE.

His Nebraska Sweetheart Incopsolabie
over the Young soldiers Death.
Columbus, Neb., April 25.-The
death of Lieut.. Lester e. Sisson, Of the
First Nebraska, at Manila. and the
finding of his fiancee's photograph near
his heart, where the fatal bullet en-
tered. is the final chapter in pretty
romance whose introduction was writ
ten in this village several years ago.
The photograph is the likeness OF
Columbus. She is the youngest daugh-
ter of John P. Taylor, wholesale
lumber merchant and distinguished
citizen of Nebraska. To-day the young
girl is inconsolable She is at the resi-
dence of her parents, and none but the
mos. intimate friends of the family
are admitted. The fiancee of the dead
soldier has not been known publicly
as the betrothed of the dashing lieu
tenant although their attachment was
generally understood throughout CO.
lumbuS, and the mutual friends knew
of the engagement.
Young Sisson was raised at St. Ed
wards, fifteen miles from here, andfwas
employed in the Weekly Times office
at the time of the call for troops! When
the sweethearts parted Lieut. Sisson
carried circular photograph of his
girl swung by ribbon from This neck.
This was worn under his vest, and he
laughingly remarked on the day before
he sailed for the seat of war to his
sweetheart that he would wear the
photograph on the left side, and if a
bullet took his life from that direction
it must first pass through the likeness
of the girl he loved most.
Miss Taylor has heard regularly
from her lover, and letter received
week ago was full OF love and hope, the
lieutenant remarking that the task Of
conquering the insurgents was nearly
over.

OHIO RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

1t is gratifying to know that i'm
provement of the Ohio river is not to
languish. According to word received
from Major BixW, of the United States
Engineer Corps, in charge of the mat
ter, the work of drilling at dam No. Is,
below Wheeling, and No. IS, near
Marietta, will be begun as soon as a
lower stage of water develops.
This drilling, which is required to
discover the kind of rock or gravel at
the base, so that proposals may be
asked for intelligently, will be accom-
plished, Major Bixby says, so that bids
may be asked at the close of the year.
In 1896 an appropriation of $1,7Oo, 900
in the river and harbor bill was pro-
vided for these two dams, which are to
be part of system of twelve dams
IS in all-in the river from Beaver,
Pa, to Marietta. The securing of the
appropriations for dams Is and IS is
regarded as shrewd move of the pro-
motors of the improvement to commit
the government to the entire series of
dams, the cost of which will be s10,-
100000, modest sum, indeed, consid-
ering the immense value of the most i'm
portant business section of the country
of this great Improvement. The gov
eminent has expended hundreds of mil
lions on alleged river and harbor i'm
provements whose combined import
ance is not equal to that asked by the
vast interests of the great Ohio Valley.
