Approve Currency Emergency Law.
I'VE approve the emergency meas
ures adopted by the government dur
ing the recent financial disturbance,
and especially commend the passage
by the last session OF congress OF
the temporary enactment designed to
protect the country from repetition
OF such stringency only until there
can be established permanen3 cur
rency system that will avoid all
emergencies. The Republican party
is committed to the development of
such a permanent system, responding
to our greater needs, and In line in
all respects with the most progressive
nations of the world, and the appoint.
ment of a monetary commission by
the present congress which will i'm
partially investigate all proposed
methods insures the early realization
of this purpose.
Savings Banks Favored.
1.-THE present currency laws have
fully Justified their adoption, but an
expanding commerce, marvellous
growth in wealth and population, null
tiplying the centers of distribution, In
creasing the demand for the move
ment OF crops in the west and south
and entailing periodic changes in
monetary conditions, disclose the need
of a more elastic and adjustable sys
tenn. Such system must meet the
requirements Of agriculturists, manu-
facturers, merchants and business
men generally, automatic in opera
ton, minimizing the fluctuations II
interest rates, and, above all, it mus
be in harmony with the republican
doctrine, which insists that every dol
lar shall be based upon, redeemable in
and as good as, gold.
"In line with the purpose here de
clared to secure by every wise mean'
greater safety and stability in tn,
banking and currency system, WI
favor the establishment of postal say
ings banks for the people, upon princi
pies embodied in the measure nov
pending In congress and set for vot'
on December Ia next.

produced again at La Scala in it's new

praise to its collection by sweeping

Whittier at Close Rance,

Whittier belonged to those natures
who would advance with firmness and
joy to martyrdom in good cause. but
are never comfortable in society, and
who impress one with the idea that
they would like to run out of the door
at any moment. Yet few enjoyed the
society of congenial friends as did the
Quaker poet. No one relished a good
story more or related one with better
grace. His sense of the ludicrous was
very vivid, and the absurdities of life
and it's situations struck him never
more forcibly than when they involved
himself. As Winters nephew and
biographer has asserted, it would be a
mistake to suppose that gentleness was
a necessity of his nature. His was in
reality the result of resolute self con-
troll and the habitual government of a
tempestuous spirit. Indeed, the poet
had his shrewd, assertive and almost
vindictive side, else he had never been
SO successful a politician and reform.

at Los Angeles.

Boston. Mass, Jan. 22-Billy Papke
of Spring Valley, H., defeated Walter
Stanton of San Francisco in four
rounds at the Armory Athletic associa-
ton here last night.
Stanton throughout the first round
landed rights and lefts on the body
and face. driving Papke from one end
of the ring 10 the other. The punish
ment, however, did not seem to affect
Papke.
The second round was practically a
repetition of the first until near the
close, when Papke landed hard left
on Stanton's jaw, drawing blood.
In the third round Pakpe started in
to fight, and soon had Stanton tired.
PapEe used the loop the loop" punch
in clinches, with good effect.
In the fourth round both started
fighting like whirlwinds. In close
work Papke drove his man around the
ring. and, with a heavy blow to the
stomach, floored Stanton for the count
of nine. Stanton came back and land
ed dozen hard blows, but Papke was
too strong. and with a succession of
punches sent Stanton down again.
Stanton's seconds threw the sponge
into the ring to end the bout.

turned what seemed like a fiasco in
the first round into one of the blood,
lest and most exciting battles ever
seen here. Thomas stayed the 10
rounds, although he was at the mercy
of Sullivan for half the distance and
was almost out when the final gong
rang. Sullivan slugged Thomas un
mercifully in every round, but Thomas
staggered through round after rouni
utterly defenseless, except for frequent
rallies which brought the crowd to its
feet with cheers for his gameness. Ii
