OLD ISSUES GONE.
Perry Heath Can See No Reason for
Opposing Republican Policies.

Mr. Perry s.. Heath. secretary Of the ma
Raleigh said to a representative Of The
Star today: Not one Of the issues of either
1900 or 1902 will, in my opinion, cut any
figure in the national campaign of 1904. l
come, as you know, from a silver state,
Utah, my home. The elections of both 1860
and 1902 eliminated silver as an issue In
any sense. Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Mon
tana, all gave large republican majorities
last Novem ber-maj jorities for the gold
standard. imperialism expansion and
President Roosevelt's government Of the
Philippines were mentioned, but the more
they were mentioned the greater became
the republican victory. Tariff revision is
not demanded generally, and the talk Of
reducing the tariff on trust-made articles,
or furnishing the trusts by free trade, Is
regarded wherever 1 have travelled during
the past six months as fallacy, and is not
popular. The democrats first raised this
question, raised it for the purpose of Great
ing an issue and dividing the republican
party, but they have not succeeded The
democrats are free traders first and last,
and protectionists will not take to this
proposition. Republicans do not believe in
killing a patient in order to cure it. Dur
ing the past six weeks 1 have been asked
by at least a score Of democratic business
men what issue divided the two parties,
and I could not inform them. They all
said they were for sound money, retention
of our new territory, and opposed to free
we were to begin national campaign to-
morrow have no idea what the democrats
would present in antagonism to our present
policies of progress and prosperity"

DISCRIMINATION IN RATES
Charged by Missouri Live Stock Ship
per Against c., B. and @.

Gilbert Barr of Kearney, Neb., has filed
complaint with the interstate commerce
commission against the Chicago Burlington
and Quincy railroad. alleging the cxactlon
OF an unreasonable and unjust tariff on live
stock.
The complainant, who is a live stock
shipper says that since October the rail-
road has compelled him to pay for trans
portation of live stock in carload lots from
Kearney to Chicago 231a cents per 100
pounds, although a reasonable charge is IL
cents per 100 pounds.
According to the complaint, the defend
ant, by compelling complainant to pay the
higher rate, while exacting from other
shippers for like service the lower rate
Is subJecting the complainant and the local
ity from which he makes shipments to un-
due and unreasonable prejudice and disad-
vantage, and Is violating the interstate
commerce law. An investigation and a
reparation of the charges alleged to have
been unlawfully collected are asked.

PROPOSED. CHANGES.
National Metropolitan Bank Building
to Be Improved.

to Be Improved.
It has been decided by the directors Of
the National Metropolitan Bank to make
some changes and alterations in the bank
ing building on 18th street between F and
G streets The principal change will be the
lowering of the floor Of the banking room.
SO as to bring it about on level with the
street. 1t is the intention to do away with
the flight of steps that now give access to
the principal entrance, SO that the latter
will only be a step or two up from the street
level. There will be no interruption in the
business of the bank while the alterations
are in progress, and 1t is expected that the
work will be begun and completed in the
early spring
In view Of other plans which the directors
have in mind these changes are only OF q
temporary character, and will be under.
taken mainly because II was found that It
would be impossible to erect a new build
ing on this site within a reasonable time.
An order for a steel vault could not be
filled for two years, and in other directions
1t was discovered that in the event an at.
tempt was made to erect a new structure
the work could not be carried on with the
requisite promptness
The erection Of new building is there
fore deferred until the conditions are more
favorable.
