Il was expected that plans for the
new city hall would be submitted at
last nights meeting OF the council,
but Chairman Hansen Of the ways and
means committee received no word
from Architect schacht and the mat

that the plans have not yet been pre-
pared. but Mr. Hansen said last night
he expected to hear from the archi-

sent down this week special meeting
OF the council will probably be held
to confirm them. as the council is anx-
ious TO get the work started.

"His Last Dollar" at the Grand.

A well constructed story of the stock
market and the turf is the meIodrama
at the Grand this week. 1t is devoid Of
the glazing inconsistencies so preva-
lent in recent examples of what might

shed, no ear splitting explosions and
none of that ridiculous comedy. 1t is
melOdrama in the best sense of the
term. The authors have gone neither
to the one extreme of senSatiOnalism
nor to the other of inanity. The piece
has plenty of action and many thrilling
situations, the climax of which is gen
orally surprise to the audience. The
comedy, and there is much of it, is
natural With some slight changes in
the book and somewhat of a more COM
petent company, this play should prove
a standard melOdrama. 1t is in many
ways better than In Old Kentucky"
Comparison with the latter is natural,
owing to a not diSsimilar race scene.
While, as previously stated His
Last Dollar is without sensational
ism, it obviously did not fail to com
pletely captiVate the audience last
night This to the credit Of the au-
dience of which it has been said they'd

He is an exponent of the quiet but
effective style of acting. Many Of his

not all that might be desired, is salts
flying and adequate.

tWo-thirds is quite good and the other
third is very bad. The first part and
the olio is first-rate, especially the
olio. First on the speciality list Is the
inevitable illustrated song turn done
by Adelaide MarSden. Next the very
clever comedy acrobats, RenZetta and
LaRue, who make a hit here every
season. The Pan American Four are
an excellent quartette, who mingle
rnirth with music and succeed in pleas
ing the audience. Mills and BeecheF,
in a nonsensical travesty, nearly funny
were somewhat amusing. Mills has
done much better on previous occa-
sionS.
Ed Palfrey, of the team Of Palfrey
and Merrill, performs n wonderfully
finished cycle act Individually his
work is considerably better than that
of the clever trio of last week. He
does all that any one of the former
did. and does it without bitches or. ac-
cidents His partner was indisposed,
and only did one stunt, which made
the act more brief than is usual The
final number of the olio is by no means
the least.

INSULTING PUBLIC OPINION.

The standpatters, who have had their
way with the Republican party COM
pletely, are, like other victors, inclined
to push their triumph to unwise eX-
tremes. 1t was not enough for them
that they should secure the postpone
ment of any action relating to the
tariff until after the coming election,
but they determined to tear up root
and branch all Republican sentiment in
favor of tariff changes, and to quell
once for all the rebellion of reformers.
We have seen the lengths to which
the machine managers went in Mime
sofa, in the resolution that they adopt
ed at their delegate convention and in
the turning down of every proposition
looking toward reciprocity when made
in district conventions. If there is
state in the Union where sentiment In
favor of reciprocity with Canada is
stronger than in Minnesota, it is Mas
sachusatts. The Republican state con-
vention there was overwhelmingly in
favor of reciprocity, and would have so
expressed itself if it had been per-
mitted to go on record freely. Per-
ceiving the danger, Senator Lodge took
control, cracked the party whip and
secure the defeat of a resolution IA
voring reciprocity with Canada, al
though warned at the time by his OPP
ponents within the party that this
might very likely cause it's defeat in
the state.
This blind and suicidal policy seems
to furnish the Democrats with a great
opportunity. Through the whole coun-
try there is mutiny against the oppres-
sion and robbery of the tariff. Every
where the people are incensed at the
prospect of bearing existing duties I'M
changed forever. With their accus-
toned insolence the tariff barons have
declared that they will not yield an
settle. their heel more firmly upon the
neck of the people. Especially strong
is reciprocity sentiment in the whole
tier of states neighboring upon the
Canadian border, from the Atlantic to
the Rocky mountains. There are vic
tories to be won all along this line.
There are members of congress to be
elected, and there are Republican cleo
toral votes to be taken from states
hitherto counted as certain for that
party Democrats cannot do better
than to pat reciprocity with Canada in
the very forepart Of their platform.

CLEAN MONEY,


Since the Republicans in congress
openly confess that they have not the
moral courage to touch the question of
currency reform at this session, or prob
ably at any other future time, the coun-
try must be content with such crumbs
and scraps as fall from the party table
A bill dealing with some petty details
Of the currency is to be considered,
and there are two features of it worthy
Of public attention.
One of these, which we sincerely hope
will be defeated, because proposed en-
tire1y in the interests Of the national
banks, is the repeal Of the clause for
bidding the retirement of more than
100000 of bank notes in any one
month. The restriction is perfectly Just
and harmless. National bank circula-
ton is based upon a deposit Of United
States bonds. While the issue of this
money by national banks is not the
greatly profitable performance which
those ignorant Of financial facts i'm
agine, it is nevertheless a privilege.
and it ought to impose corresponding
obligations. One of these is that the
banks shall not unnecessarily contract
this currency at time when such pol
icy is against public interest. They are
restrained from SO doing by the limita-
ton upon the retirement of their cir
culating notes. That restriction harms
no one, it does protect the public
| against a possible sharp contraction of
the currency for selfish interests, and
it ought to be preserved.
A suggestion of different quality is
one that we hope to see carried out
speedily and thoroughly. This. is the
great enlargement of the volume Of
subsidiary currency by recofning a con-
siderable portion of the silver dollars
now in the treasury, and the substitu-
ton of metallic money for small paper
| bills. The one and two dollar notes in
| I'll III buIS country are an I'M
mitigated nuisance. They are filthy
| stuff, difficult to handIe bulky to carry.
easy to lose and ih1eEeFy particular in
ferior to coin. There is ample4occupation
in this country not only. for the entire
amount Of both coin and bullion in the
treasury, but for a large portion of our
silver product for years to come if
small bills were withdrawn and coin
| substituted for them
The advocates of silver have made a
| mistake in supporting the issue of sill
yer certificates Of small denominations,
with the idea that they were thus
| helping to find a use for that metal.
On the contrary, they are limiting it's
| occupation and keeping it. locked up in
vaults instead of famiIiarizing the peo-
| pie with it's use. Out on the Pacific
coast you cannot find bill of any de-
nomination. unless you make special
request for it at bank. There you
