The only issue we can make is, the
best manner for developing and gov
erning those Islands.
The financial question, that has so
long agitated this country. has been
settled, and our currency is irrevocably
fixed upon the gold standard. Hap
PLY. the discovery Of the Alaska gold
fields, and new process for extracting
the precious metal, have enabled our
country to adopt this change of values
withouta financial panic by even any
great stringency in the money market.
That the Democratic party, unless
rescued from the control and domina-
ton of the men who have well-nigh
wrecked it is in danger of dissolution,
every discerning man must see. 1t
would be political suicide to permit
such men as Bryan, Teller, Altgeld and
their sattalites to longer shape our
policy. We must select new leaders,
accept the situation, and frame our
next platform so as to meet the chang
ed condition OF affairs in our country.
There are plenty of questions upon
which we can take issue with the Re-
publicans withouta sacrifice to prlncl-
pie or loading our platform with obso-
lete demands, and secure the confidence
the respect and the support OF inteli-
gent and reasoning voters.
The leading plank in our next plat
form should be opposition to the grow
ing power of trusts, which are encour-
aged and fostered by the Republican
party. This is the greatest danger
that now confronts our country, and
unless something is done to check the
growing power of combined capital, our
Republican form of government will be
strangled by the almighty dollar. The
long reign Of power enjoyed by the Re
publicans has encouraged the most
shameless corruption and which will

HAIRLESS HORSE SHOT.
It Was Stricken With Paralysis il
 Hartford Yesterdny. M

It Was Stricken With Paralysis in
 Hartford Yesterday.
 After life covering quarter of n century of vielssitudes, says the Hart ford Courant the small bay horse man of North street, was put to death on Main street. opposite the Hills building, by Agent Thrall of the Con- necticut Humane society shortly nfter s o'clock yesterday morning. The horse had long ago passed the period of usefulness and while 1t was being driven down Main street in the morn ing it was taken with paralysis in it's hind legs. It fell and all efforts to raise 1t were futile. Agent Thrall was sent for and after he had examined the horse and heard the opinion from several people that. the animal was of no value, he took hts revolver and shot it in the forehead. A second shot followed the first The animal died immediately and lay in the street for some minutes. MT Thrall said he never saw a horse bleed so much, It was finally taken away in the horse ann bulnnce.
 MT Thrall said the horse was about 25 years old and he seemed to be WILL fANS tpIg.f APGIuuSC VI it's peculiar appearance the horse had often attracted notice on the streets, hitched to an old platform wagon load ed with waste paper. It had no ears. these having been burned off in n fire about n dozen years ago, and its owner always has it's hips covered with bur- lap, as there was no hair on this DOT tion of the body, the hair having been burned off in the same fire. Mir Thrall said thnt the owner had always treat ed the horse kindly and 1t was only a few days before that the thought came to him to tell the owner that he would have to stop using the animal
 There was q delay of over m hour in having the horse removed after it was shot. because the horse ambulance was In Wethersfleld on a case. MT Thrall sent messenger to Wethers- field for the ambulance and 1t was sent back to this city as soon as possi- Lle.

POLICE TELEGRAPH SYSTEM.
0ffenders May Have the Pleasure of
 Riding i'll an Automobile.

Offenders May Have the Pleasure of
 Riding in an Automobile.
 z When the board of public safety re- tired to executive session in the may OTIS office, after the regular meeting, Tuesday evening, it was 10 discuss the police telegraph system with it's rep resentative, A., B. Wheeler, of Boston. There are features i'll this matter which are so dear to Mayor Kilduff that he is not yet ready to let the light of publicity shine on them. It has been the mayors ambition to in- augurate a police signal system during his administration, and the prospects of its being early realized are now ap- parent to all.
 ~ The appropriation for this system, while not large enough to include, the cost of a police ambulance or patrol wagon is still sufficient to allow the purchase of modern vehicle that will serve every purpose required of the fully equipped outfit. MT Wheeler threw considerable light upon this long felt want. He showed that modern in- yention has made it possible for this city, even with the present appropria- tion for the purpose already named, to be q pioneer In a new order of po- lice ambulance. This information, coupled with the experience the board of public safety acquired during the recent jaunts to Boston and elsewhere, has enabled It's members to immediate ly follow up the installation of the police telegraph, with modern, though somewhat, unique. police am bulances
 It appeared to be the sense of the meeting to install n wagon. light and strong, in the near vicinity of the po- lice station immediately after the com pletion of the police telegraph This, it Is believed, will suffice for all neces- sary purposes for some time. But it was also suggested to Invest in an electric automobile, such as is em- ployed in Hartford According to mi mute calculations, such vehicle would cost only about ST cents week. Noth- ing could be less expensive than this, thanks to modern Ingenuity. The ve- hicle Is intended to be large enough to carry eight persons. There is one employed in the police service of Bos- ton that carries twenty-four, and it does not cost much more than the one in Hartford does, after the first cose. All grades are alike to this machine.
 1t was not determined what time the work of installing the telegraph system should begin, only that it shall be as soon as possible.

HORACE IN DANGER.
Weather Prophet Devoe Has Been Ordered to Stop His Predictions.

Trenton, N. J., April 3.--one of the most sacred privileges of man-his right to express his opinion in regard to the kind of weather coming has been attacked.
 The United States courts have been appealed to to compel Andrew J. Devoe,f the Hackensack weather pro- phet, to stop making further predic- tions. A Chattanooga, Tenn, medi- cine company claims that he has vio- lated his contracts by recent predic- tions in an almanac and the news papers. Judge kirkpatrick yesterday made an order restraining Mir Devoe from opening his mouth on the weather question pending final de- termination of the case.
 T don't really see the use of such an order" said Judge Kirkpatrick to counsel. flor am informed that some of MT Devoe's predictions never come true. anyhow"
