so until after his assignment to Chi
cago, where he was feted and petted by
the public until either he was spoiled
or the jealousies of the officers of the
service we're aroused. In either case, it
was while on duty there that his prestige
with the officers of the army began to
wane.
Miles, as the commanding general,
had influential enemies at court, and
they did much to discredit his services.
He has at times talked more freely than
the regulations warrant, and while not
more so than many others, his enemies
were always ready to make the most
of every opportunity thus offered them,
and greatly magnified his offenses In
this line.

Miles, Political Aspirat ions.

The political aspirations Of Gen. Miles
are not viewed favorably among his
comrades in the army. The fact Is that
while Miles has been popular favorite
and hero to the majority OF the Amer
lean people. he has not been particularly
SO with the army. Some charge his un-
popularity to jealousy. and while that
may, and undoubtedly does, account for
part OF it, portion OF 1t at least is
traceable to the generals opposition to
the post canteen. which is favored by
80 per cent. of the army officers
AS a subordinate general officer Miles
has a wonderful record for ability and
bravery. His campaign against Geron-
limo was brilliant one and won for
him the plaudits Of the country, and
especially of the settlers OF the south
west.

in and out OF the army, and remained

American Dollars in Panama.


Good American dollars are to pass
for legal tender in the republic OF
Panama. 1t has been left to this coun-
try, virtually, to make the coinage
laws of that little nation, and 1t may be
that 1t will never attempt to coin
money of its own, but will use our
currency entirely.
The task of solving the problem Of
Panama's currency was left to Secre-
tary Taft, who acted with Panama
commission, and they have reached an
agreement for the adoption of a cur
rency system for the republic.
This provides, in effect, that the
gold currency of the United States
shall be the standard of value on the
isthmus and be legal tender, and that
the Panamans may, IL they choose,
coin gold money of their own equiva-
lent in value to the American dollar;
that they may coin fractional curren-
cy out of Colombian silver now in CIR
culation in Panama to the extent of
one and one-half million dollars gold,
and at the request of the canal COM
mission one and one-half millions
more II the commission needs 1t.
Further. 1t is provided that the Pa
namans will maintain parity of the
fractional silver currency by the de-
post Of Is per cent. Of the normal
value Of the fractional silver currency
coin in an American bank in the cur
rency of this government; added to
that is the seigniorage as an addition
al reserve. The fractional currency
will consist of 100000 Panaman sill
yer half dollars.
Panama will be the only one of the
South or Central American republics
that has adopted the gold standard.
and in which American money will be
worth only Its face value. In Mexico
and almost every other republic on
either continent the American dollar
is priced far above the local currency.

Judge Parker broke his Sphinx-like
silence before the convention adjourn
ed at st. Louis. His words when he did
speak were enough to be worth all the
waiting for, in the effect they produced
1t was like a slap in the face to con-
vention that had refused to express it
self on the money question, for Parker
to bluntly send it his own views, de-
clare that he meant to carry them out,
and invite the party to name someone
else if it didn't like his opinions. The
Democrats automatically got out of 6e
difficulty by saying that the money
question is not an issue and that there
fore it does not matter what Parker's
views are. It was all pretty and spec
tacular bit of party politics, of which
the natural tendency is to increase the
countrys respect for Parker in view of
his straightforwardnes and independ-
ence.
