By ones, by twos, and in groups
of a dozen or more the victims of the

or more from comfortable seats in the

from rooms up near the roof, to the
Michigan avenue side of the big hos

HOT SCRAP FOR THIS JOB.

There is a hot fight on between two
men prominent among the colored
people. 1t is between William T. Yer
non, present register of the treasury,
and Judson w. Lyons of Georgia, who
is a member of the national commit
tee. who formerly held the job.
Vernon's name is signed to all of
the United States currency issued.
Lyons was formerly signed. Vernon
is a negro school teacher from Kan
sas and much darker than Lyons. Yer
non did not line up right in the cam
paign, but Lyons did. Lyons is after
his old job and Vernon is trying to
hold it. Maybe there won't be some
thing doing when it gets down to cleo
ton time.

Financial Legislation.

On financial legislation he said:
Our recent financial disturbance
challenged the soundness of our mon
etary condition and brought to the
fore the question of our banking and
currency system, the consideration of
which became and continues to be a
subject of pressing and commanding
importance.
That such a disturbance should
have occurred under such circumstan-
ces furnishes the strongest evidence
that there is something inherently de-
fective in the system itself, which can
hauling. But this system. hastily in
augurated by Secretary Chase during
the exigencies of war, while confess
eddy defective in its inability to re-
spond at all times to the varying and
exacting demands Of trade. yet, during
the forty-five years of it's existence,
has served a wise and beneficent pur-
pose.
That it has its weaknesses is free
tenn have been recognized from the
beginning by practically every secre-
tary of the treasury, and while rem
edial changes have been made as
these defects have developed, yet the
one glaring fault, the want of elasti-
city. has continued and remains.
The recent panic called the atten-
ton of congress to the necessity of
further legislation. and a measure has
gency currency of S500.000 1000 TO be
issued under certain conditions and
limitations, an authorization, it is be-
lieved, which will prevent the recur-
renee of any such disaster as befell
the country last fall. The secretary
of the treasury has promptly taken
the necessary steps to give effect tc
this legislation, and banking associa
lions are already forming TO avail
| themselves of the benefits of this act
| 1t is doubtful if the provisions of this
act will ever be invoked, as the abil
| ity to supply s500,000.000 additional
| currency whenever needed will of it
self have tendency to make its is
suance unnecessary.
| In the meantime, however. the re
publican party is not indifferent tt

prehensive revision of our monetary
and banking system. and to that enc

This commission has already or

and will diligently prosecute its worl
with the hope and expectation Of for
mulating a monetary system which
will meet every legitimate business

MORE OF JUNGLE JOE"

Avowedly candidate for the presi-
dency, yet allowing his corporation
instincts to overcome the Blue
Jeans disguise he donned some
months ago. Speaker Joseph Cannon,
is still too we'll within range of some
masters voice to heed not the startled
vail. With the first announcement of
the proposed republican platform
stamped all over and beaten into
shape by the Big Stick of Roosevelt,
Cannon rushes to the ramparts of the
stronghold of organized capital and
hurls his defiance against labor. 1t
is showdown. at a most opportune
time, and Cannon has incurred more
than ever the enmity of every Union
Labor man in the country.
The anti-injunction plank in the
platform, there because Roosevelt
holds it to be a high card in his
square deal to all classes, is meant
to put the republican party on basis
of favoring the same regulations for
labor as for capital. If Incorporated
in the final platform. and if the re-
puhlicans are again in power. this
attitude will allow laws to be passed
doing away with the abuse of iniunc-
lions and permitting labor unions to
pursue honorable and legal methods to
accomplish their ends without fear of
the courts.
Such a man as Roosevelt is not fav.
oring open boycotts or violence, such
as has been resorted to by some I'M
ions in their contests with capital. but
rather for a sane working out of the
great question and at the same time,
not allowing the courts to thoughtless.

Railway Legislation.
ON the subject of railway legislation
he said:
The effort of the national govern
ment to invoke that provision of the
federal constitution which empowers
congress to regulate commerce with
foreign nations and among the states
presented problems of the greatest per-
plexity, the solution of which has been
attended with no little difficulty.
Without rehearsing the legislation
enacted to correct the evils and the
work of enforcing these statutes, it is
gratifying TO know that the abuses
complained of are fast disappearing,
and carrier and shipper alike are CO.
operating in the enforcement of the
law. and what at one time threatened
to be a protracted and acrimonious
struggle is fast assuming d peaceful
solution
Favors Tariff Revision.
He put the party fairly and squarely
in favor of tariff revision, saying:
The republican party stands for
such a revision and readjustment of
our customs laws as changed industrial
conditions at home and abroad may
have made necessary, keeping steadily
in view the cardinal principles of pro-
lection to American industries and
American labor. AS evidence of its

After calling attention to the fact
that the senate authorized its com

ostentatiously kicked Haritoff in the
posterior before the great public of
the atrium of the Casino.
Everyone called it a savage act.
Friends represented to Decazes it was
his fault to have left Haritoff alone
with anyone who had 1000 francs; his
weakness and necessities were known.
Therefore the duke, kindly at heart
consented to meet Haritoff in a duel
where no one was hurt; but his old
friend never recovered from the dis
grace. and died few months after.
