The attempt of Administration or
Gans TO push the money question to q
position Of primary importance in tho
approaching campaign reminds one of
the stilted adage about drowning men
clutching at straws." Tie Democrats
made their arguments in relation TO the
currency issue in 1896 at time when
It was a vital issue, and they can point
to the fact that every one Of their
claims has been vindicatcd by events,
or adopted into Republican legislation.
According TO the Republican theory
the money question was not an Issue
in 1896; not near so important as the
tariff issue. Why should it he the
leading issue now, Il Republican Con
grcss and Administration having made
it impossible for succeeding Congress
or President TO change the cur
rency laws for five years, at least?

case, where only the most strenuous
efforts prevented revolution. While
1t is true that the president of re-
public is the head of the army, we
must not forget that he is only the
nominal head and history will show us
that the soldiers always fought with
their direct and technical commanders
whenever the alternative offered itself.
WE MAY, THEREFORE,, SAY THAT
AN ARMY WILL CREATE AN ARIs-

noon. One OF the most disappointed men
in the city hall was Chief Of Police Doyle.
The chief submitted an estimate of the

ties Of the department are MANY and he
was particularly DESTROYS Of wipin2 ont

force by from thirty to ferty men. A
large slice was ripped off the amount he
asked for the committee deciding that he
could have only $217,7 $50. This means
that the force Will remain next year as
1t is at present, and that a deficit of
about $3.50 still Will hang over the de-
