The Democrats are row trying
to make sneak to the Republican
position on the money question.
They now contond that the increase
of gold III circulation has made the
free coinage Of silver no longer i'm
peratiye. that the volumn of circu-
]ating tmedium under the single
gold standard is sufficient for the
demands of the nation. This they
say ia vindication also of the
doctrine of free coinage Of silver
at fixed ratio. which seems
rather paradoxicsl. The Republi-
can party when it adopted the sin
gle gold standard policy very nat
urnIIy supposed that the increased
production of gold would keep the
expansion of the circulating med
ium beyond tho danger Of a money
styjngoncy, Tue party never al
any time contcndcd that it was in
favor of restricting The quantity OF
money, but to place the money OF
shis country upon an eluabIe worlt
standard. Now that the correct
ness Of 'hc Republican policy ha:
been forced upon the Democrat
beyond all further denial the latte
are trying tu steal the credit of ;
successful issue.

 mated at about $120,0OO. He saw only two alternatives, either to raise the tax rate or to borrow. He did not believe in the advisability of the former method of procedure on the ground that 1t was a very difficulty matter to get the rate down again if it was. once raised.
 Speaking of reasons why 1t was nec- essary to borrow this year the mayor explained that for the past two years a special county tax of S3S,0O0 year had been required of the city. Then the city has been providing for it's floating indebtedness in large installrnents every year and still running the government so that there was good reason to believe that the city could easily meet this new debt for needed improvements. In 1 the course of his remarks the mayor stated that the snow storms had up i to last night cost the city about $3,700, and would probably cost between $1,- 900 and $1,500 more before the necessary work caused by it was completed. l Tn conclusion he reiterated the state- ment that he did not see where the board could save money by reducing the estimates without cutting out some much needed appropriation.
 ] Upon the conclusion of the mayors remarks Alderman MeGuinness rose to inquire about the bell tower in the
 eighth ward which had been ordered by 1 the board some time ago, but for which no appropriation had been made in the estimates. Mayor Studley explained
 that the board of finance was favorable to the erection of the tower, but that they could not find money for 1t after providing for what seemed to them more important demands. . l Alderman Langley then arose and op- posed the proposition to borrow. He said he would favor increasing. the tax rate rather. .>..-.. ......., A.
 Alderman Montgomery opposed this, and favored keeping the tax rate down. Alderman Minor presented the follow ling motion: Voted, That the estimates be amended in such way that wher- ever an item includes an increase of sal- ] ary it be reduced the amount of such increase; that item for Beaver ponds ! purchase of land be made $1,00O." Mo- 1 ton seconded by Alderman Townshend. The object was to obtain the where-
 withal to erect the Eighth ward bell l tower Alderman McGiunness made an eloquent plea for the tower. Alderman
 Montgomery also backed it, as did AL derrnan Chadwick &

man Minors motion and it was passed by a vote of l2 to 3. The estimates as amended were then passed as a whole.
 Alderman Minor then moved that the sum so provided be expended to erect a new bell tower in the Eighth ward. The motion was unanimously passed.
 Alderman Spreyer then moved that the ordinances be taken up next There was some opposition to this because the aldermen had not yet had time enough to peruse the new ordinances.
 Alderman Spreyer was very anxous that there should be no more delay about, and it was voted to take the or dinances up.
 Alderman McGuinness moved to ad- journ. The motion was amended so as to read that upon adjourning it should be to meet again to take up the ordinances on December 2S. The amend ment was accepted.
 Alderman Chadwick arose and stated that he wished to have the clerk read petition and have special committee appointed to consider it before adjourn ment. As this could only be done by the withdrawal of the motion to adjourn Alderman McGuinness withdrew his motion. This left not the petition but the ordinances before the board, and Alderman Spreyer seized the opportu- nity and tried to have them considered. I The attempt was frustrated and the board voted to hear Alderman Chad wick's petition. The petition was from prominent Ninth warders protesting against the removal of the Dixwell avenue police precinct from its present site and that it be kept in its present location The'petition was received and referred to a special committee compos- ! ed of Aldermen Chadwick, Langley, Hotchkiss, Spreyer and Minor
 The meeting then adjourned until De- cember 2S, considering it too late to discuss the ordinances.

OBITUARY NOTES

Funeral Services Of Allen s. Ostrander.
 The funeral of Allen S. ostrander.
 late superintendent of the General Elec-
 tric company at West Lynn, Mass, was
 held yesterday afternoon at o'clock
 from the home of his mother. Mrs
 sarah sarah j ostrander, of BPS Humphrey l street; Rev, MT. Luckey, of the Humph= rey Street Congregational church con- ducted the services, which were ex-
 ceedingly impressive.
 MT. ostrander died last Saturday aft-
 ernoon while at work in the shipping department of the concern in West
 Lynn. He had just returned from dim ner and was experimenting the load i ing of some cars, when just as the last
 stroke of apoplexy and fell from the | platform. In his fall he struck against
 the car and sustained some cuts on the | head. Death was probably instantane- | ouS. When MT. Ostrander left home l Saturday noon he commented upon the fact that he was feeling unusually we'll I He remarked that he had never felt
 better in his life than he did that day. 5 Mr. OStrander was fifty-three years
 old. He leaves besides his mother, a widow, two sons, Allen, who is with
 the New York Central rilroad as a draughtsman under Cornelius Wander
 bilt, and Harry, a clerk in the offices l of the Conselidated road in this city, and one daughter.
 There was large number of beauti- | full floral tributes from loving friends at the funeral yesterday. Conspicuous among these were two large pillows, one from the shipping department of | the General Electric company the oth- CT marked Our Shopmate."
 l The bearers were representatives of some of the local societies of which Mr. | Ostrander had been member. They were J. c. Corning and H. l. Lindell, | from Hiram lodge No. I, F. and A, M. Miles Hart and Charles c. Ross, of the | Order of New, York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Conductors and | James J. Carr and John w. Hut, from Pyramid lodge No 45, A. o. U. w. The interment was In Evergreen cemetery. Crawford had charge of the funeral ar engagements.
 Mir. 0stranders was for many years
 with the Consolidated railroad in this conductor and finally as superintendent of the Air Line division, in which posi- | tion he displayed considerable capacity, | especially along mechanical lines For | the past five years he had held the po- sition in Lynn which he held at the I time of his death.
 MT. Ostrander was well known here and while a citizen here he was quite activesin public affairs. He was gen. | tleman of excellent character, an up- right, strong man, with decided opiil- | ions and fearless in expressing them. l He was always courteous to opponents. | A good citizen and a good husband was | MT, Ostrander, and his death has taken away man of real worth and deserved popularity

AFTER THE TROLLEY, wHATq

The fact that one as familiar with transportation as is MT. William Hoag- land manager of the Manhattan Tran sit Company, will deliberately say that 1 the trolley car has got to go, just as the horse car had to give way to the cable and the cable in turn to the troI- ley" gives cause to wonder how far some of the prophecies of that fan tastic writer Mir. H. G. Wells are on their way to realization.
 Speaking of lOcomotion of the twen- tieth century in his "Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scien- tific Progress Upon Human Life and Thought" he calls attention to the fact that something of the mechanical possibilities of steam has been known for over two thousand years. In fact, steam was utilized for pumping water before the christian era, nor was 1t applied as an aid to locomotion until its usefulness had first been tested in English coal mines. The locomotive of. today is the stationary engine (so weighty that 1t had to be put on rails) adapted to a new end.
 As few saw at first in the loco1hotive anything but a cheap substitute for horsefesh, so few saw in the cars themselves anything but superseded stage coaches. We have become So used to being crammed and throttlad while being transported that We have come to regard it as natural. As Mir. Wells put if, Before every engine trots the ghost of the superseded horse"
 Needing no tracks upon which to run the only restriction to which could be subjected the electric stages which, ac- cording to MT. Hoagland, will take the place of cars in New York, would be the requirement of proceeding along asphalted streets, and hence traffic could adapt itself much easier than now to the necessities of the situation
 Another important feature would be that the breaking down of one automo- bile would not, as is the case with cars, subject others to delay, though in so far as speed is concerned there would probably be but little difference between the two.
 The fact that Boston is trying the ex- pertinent on Fremont street shows that the project is at all events receiv- ing serious consideration elsewhere, though the time is likely to be far dis tant when the work of the railroad will be done by single motor driven ve- hicles running over specially construct td roads.-New York World.

Synod, the shooting of Prince ChoIens- ky while he was governor of KarkhoT in 1902. the murder of Governor Bog danovitch of Ufa in 1908. the working out of four other plots and finally the murder of M. Ton Plehve last summer are trlceable to common inspiration.
 While some links in :ae chain Of evil dence are lacking. long investigat ,n has reavaled the fact that the inspi-- eftioa for the revival of terrorist acti- witty in Russia comes chiefly from q band of revOlutionists mostly recruit led from eXiles to Siberia living on the shore of of Lake Leman, Switzerland. where may possibly be located another executive committee" such as direct ed the bloody reign of Nihilism from Is7S to 1882. While there are some points of similarity between the two movements they differ both as charac- ter and purpose
 The present activity was according to the police organized abroad and ex- ecuted through the instrumentanty of those enlisted in the cause in Russia. This fighting organization" as it is termed, seems to be without a direct object, hut rather supplementary to work the revolutionary propaganda which agitators abroad are spreading among all classes of population, the present murders being intended to stir up the discontented portion of the po- 9ulace.
