Troubles OF TaIlvmen.

Trouble is on between the tallymen
and the mill companies. and the end is
not in sight. The tallymen ask an adj.
vance in wages from $275 to $3.50 a
day, and there Is talk OF strike OF the
Sailors and Longshoremen's Unions.
On the other hand, the mill men say
there is no danger OF any strikes, but
that the action OF the tallymen will re-
suit in more than one-hai OF their mum.
Der being dispensed with. That only
foreign cargoes actually require a tally
at the loading port, the coastwise vessels
simply being Tailed at the shipment for
comparison, the tally at the port OF des.
tination being the anal one. According
to this, the tally OF coastwise ships is OF
no more effect than is the scale OF logs
at logging camp rollwa!s; in both cases
the final figuring is done at the place OF
sale.

Baptist Church.

The regular meeting OF the w. c. I.
L. was held in tie Baptist church on
Thursday afternoon.
Among the reports given was that OF
the Loyal Temperance Legion. which
meets in the Methodist church every
Friday afternoon. Special praise was
given the president, Isabel Caesy, a
Young Miss OF ten or twelve years, for
the model way in which she conducted
the meetings Praise was also given
each OF the children present for atten-
ton and good behavior. The aim of the
Loyal Temperance Legion is to teach
the child the effects OF alcohol and to.
bacco upon the human system, that it
may be safeguard to him in later life.
These meetings are open to all children
and mothers should take advantage OF
these helps and influences.

THE COIN QUESTION.

Replying to an inquiry, Bryan's Com
moner recently gave the following
explicit statement as 20 the CONTROVERSY
between single standard advocates and
bimetallists
Money, except where made legal
tender by the law OF some other coun.
try, passe. by weight when it leaves its
own country. This is true OF gold as
we'll as silver. The Mexican silver dollar
is, therefore, only worth in this country
the same as the same weight in bullion
Mexico cannot maintain the parity be.
veen gold and silver at her ratio OF
1jl-2 to l because her commercial
strength is not sufficient. 1t all depends
upon the demand which the nation can,
by its coinage law. create. International
bimetallists contend that all OF tie
nations together or several of the leading
ones, could, by joining in free coinagA,
create demand ter silver which would
maintain the parity between that metal
and gold at the legal ratio.
Independent bimetallists believe that
this nation alone could, by the opening
OF its minis, create demand for silver
which would be sufficient to maintain
the parity here and throughout the
world. This is contention which can.
not he proved with mathematical Ger.
tainty except by experiment. But the
same can be said OF the opposite conten.
ton OF the advocates OF the gold stand.
ard. Those, however, who deny the
ability OF this nation to maintain the
parity, are as rule persons who would
not want silver coined even il they were
certain that the parity could be main
tanned.
The fact tina, Mexico cannot maintain
the parity does not disprove our nations
ability to maintain the parity. Our ma
ton is greater than Mexico. both in
population and commerce, aud can do
what Mexico cannot do.

FOR BETTER MORALITY.
Meeting Of Rsiormsrs In the Opera House
Yesterday Afternoon.

). fair sized audience attended the
law an, oroer meeting at the Acme
Opera house Yesterday afternoon, that
had been called to hear the report OF
the committee appointed at the former
meeting.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman K. +. Foy, and commenced
with gospel hymn, and a short scrip
tural address by the chairman. The re-
por. OF the committee was then read.
The report was rather voluminous, and
had been delayed by the committee
until sufficient data was obtained to
justify the outlining OF a course OF ac-
ton. 1t recommended that for the
present the work be confined to the
ABOLITION OF dance halls and kindred
vices called io- the repeal OF the city
ordinance licensing dance halls: sug
gested that the state laws could be used
in suppressng vice to better advantage
than the city ordinances, and recon-
mended that the county attorney.
sheriff and city marshal work together
in enforcing the laws.
The report was unanimously adopted,
but. before putting the question, Chair.
man Foy invited discussion and tx.
pressions OF opinion. 4 number re-
sponded, and there was no installing
the earnestness Of the speakers, OF
whom several were ladies, who spoke
feelingly. The committee will appear
before the city council next Wednesday
evening, to urge the enforcement OF the
law By the city authorities.

to the CITY for water supplied from city
mains to vessels loading at those mills
Both these mills have private water
systems ior use OF the mills, but have a
city water main for use when needed
There is a schedule OF prices for steam
ers and sailing vessels taking water
here, which is supposed to be collected
BY the mills and turned into the city.
The difference between the number OF
ships loading at those mills and the
amount turned in. causes the complaint.
The volume OF shipping at this port has
increased so rapidly, and no we'll regu-
lated system OF collecting from ships be-
ing adopted, Is. no doubt, largely the
cause OF tAis com! laint. 1t appears to
be no body's especial business TO look
after L is matter, and aside from the
mill companys, no one knows what yes
sells are supplied, hence the suspicion.
The ships should secure water through
application to the clerk per thousand
gallon rate adopted. and the water fur
nished by an official through a guaged
hydrant. In justice to themselves, the
mill mpanys-presuming they mean
to do the right thipg-should request a
procedure OF this kind.

arti lie is certainly OF more than passing
significance.
Ii the tinanciers are dissatisfied with
what Mr.. Roosevelt has done, they are
certainly very exacting in their demands.
Has he not resisted all reform OF the
tariff? Has he not protected even the
trusts in the enjoyment OF the monopoly
which high import duties give them
Has ne not supported every proposition
that the financi-rs have asked? Has
he not only failed, but refused to enforce
the criminal law against trust magnates
Has he not even affixed his signature
to the Elkins bill. that relieves railroad
officials OF the fear OF imprisonment?
What is the sum OF his offending? His
supporters DO him scant honor when
they suggest that he has been restrained
from action by the fear OF those whom
he should nave prosecuted. 1t is sug-
gested that il he is reelected he will
throw off all restraint, and become a
reformer, but how can he throw off re-
straint unless he is rnder restraint now?
Why not give the country some practical
evidence CT his purpose al once? Why
leave the in Imagination to picture what
he is going to do when he has such a
splendid opportunity to DO something
now?
Mr.. Wellman's paper is a western
paper, and it is impossible that he is
just using the opposition OF Wall street
to solidify western republicans. He is a
witness for the administration and we
can use his testimony to prove that the
administration is indie pied to the cor
porati0ns for its existence, even though
we are not compelled to accept his
testimony where it helps his side OF the
case.-Sryan's Commoner

Senator DRYDEN OF New Jersey b;

Senator Dryden OF New Jersey has
been elected director OF the steel trust,
and it was rumored that he would for
that reason resign his seat in the rate.
1t is officially stated, however, by Mr..
Dryden that there is not the slightest
foundation for the existence OF this
rumor. Ee says "No person has been
authorized to say or intimate that any
business obligation l have assumed may
interfere with my official duties as
senator. l hope that this will put an
end to the ridiculous rumors that are in
circulation" Ridiculous rumors." Ii
the United States senate was as sensi.
tive as it ought to be about such matters,
it would adopt a resolution compelling
him to choose between the steel trust
and New Jersey. The mem bers OF con.
gress expelled Utah congressman be-
cause he had two wives, but republicans
seem to think that a senator con, with.
out inconsistency, be welded to tie
trusts and at the same time take care OF
his constituents.

A FALSE STATEMENT.
A statement appeared in a paper recent
ly saying that certain officer held the
record OF being the only officer OF the

he has done some good work, did not Sc

took from the person of culprit all
the implements OF the game. except the
