fictitious value given to gold

by its exaltation into the single stand ard must necessarily cause a contin ued stringency in the money market. If gold is made the standard of money alone, unless its production keeps pace with the growth of business over the whole world, its value must neces sarily increase, proportionately. Business interests have increased at tremendous rate within the past twenty years, and the value of gold has been steadily enhanced from, the simple fact that it hns not kept an equal pace. Few pretend that the greater part of the business of the world is transacted 011 an actual mon etary basis. It is transacted 011 paper by the credit system, but the actual coined money behind it represents a very small per cent, of its face value

The volume of coin in gold cannot meet these obligations. If silver is degraded what then can meet them The burden of the debtor must con stantly grow heavier, as the years pass by. The use of the two metals is the only feasible solution which has been presented. The Republican party while arguing that our present sys torn is practically perfect, nevertheless has made various attempts through monetary conventions and congres sional committees to formulate a line of action looking to its reform. So far it has failed. Such committees have been appointed in both the House and Senate for the purpose of considering the financial question, and recom mending some action to the next Con gress. The necessity for action clearly recognized, but the party has been afraid to act. Notwithstanding the frequent assevertion of theRepub lican press that the silver issue is dead, the party leaders recognize the fact that it is not so, and that it must be met again, unless some satisfactory substitute can be found. The issue is still before us, and it will certainly remain before us until a system is de vised which will not work so great an injustice to the debtor class. Very few men desire, as has been frequently charged, to repudiate their just debts but very few care to have debts doubled by steadily falling prices, and an increase in the value of money. And that is precisely what has happened to the money of this country. It is not just in any sense, and to establish justice is one of the high purposes of government. Let justice be established.

THEjline of cleavage in the Republican ranks becomes more evident each day. The administration has found no such harsh critics as among members of the President's own party. The attitude of such men as Reed is particularly significant. Men who have Ix'en the ablest leaders in the party, and have won for it success, and who now openly disapprove of the policy of the administration, exert a wide and lasting influence. The clash between these factions is inevitable. The difference of opinion is too great to

WE frequently see the statement that there has never been a time when the banks were so full of money as now, coupled with the assertion that this argues unbounded prosperity. If the first statement be true, it shows anything but prosperity. Money deposited in a bank is but a latent force. When put into circulation, it springs into life and all its power is released. Activity in money, only is effective. When money circulates freely and confidence exists among business men then business thrives and genuine prosperity exists. It ought not to be lying idly in banks waiting for a borrower but it ought to be circulating among the people carrying life with it to every business interest it touches. If money is shut up the vaults of banks,distress in business circles must surely follow. This condition has prevailed for a sufficient time to demonstrate its truth, even to the least observing.

harmonized. There is no middle ground on which they may meet ind fix up a policy upon which to go before the country. No compromise can bemade which will be positive enough in tone to win popular support. An effort will be made to take the leadership of the party from Reed, but that will surely result in a mighty disruption of party ties. The entire conservative element of the party is opposed to the radical policy, as urged by many of the ardent expansionists who seem to be very close to the President. Unless a very material change should take place in our affair in the East, the next year will show a great shifting of party lines in certain quarters. That success can come to the Republican party with many of the most influential leaders disaffected or openly arrayed against it does not seem probable. The inconsistency of an expansion policy with many of the sacred tenets of the party, is self-evident.

How shall they be harmonized Those who attempt to read the "Czar" Reed out of the party may find themselves confronting a condition which is far from the theoretical stage.

noting of the Tenth Colored

Immune Regiment at Atlanta has shown the War Department the necessity for mustering out soldiers at their homes where they can best be dealt with by local authorities. In many instances when released from military authority, they yield very reluctantly to the civil, as in the Atlanta episode. As a matter of course in many of the Eastern and Central States the volunteers were of the very best young men and they were law abiding citizens as well as faithful soldiers. Such however, was not the character of the recruits in all places, and they must be dealt with in a different manner. He is a poor soldier, who is not also a good citizen, in such a system as ours, and it has always been our boast that our armies were first citizens and then soldiers. They fought from duty and not from a desire for or a pleasure in warfare. The war department should Bee to it that that proud boast may still be justly made.

proposed peace congress will

meet on May 18th at The Hague. It is curious to note how distrustful nations are. The proposition of the Czar for a general disarmanent met with the genearl approval of Christian nations, and yet one and all declared that it would never do. A mutual confidence seemed to be a beautiful theory, that will do very well for discussion, but when it comes to the transaction of real business we fall back upon the primitive basis of force. The peace congress will probably meet and talk and theorize and part with "several assurances of most distinguished consideration" leaving the old condition of an armed peace, with every nation straining every nerve to prepare for a war that may sometime come.

Rev. J. Canning Smith in a ser

mon delivered at the Tabernacle Pres byterian church, Indianapolis, last Sunday night a sermon concerning some great truths. Among other things he said, "The greatest enemy of man is idleness. It is the inevitable breeder of gambling, drunkenness and impurity. The first policy should be

to secure for all of the millions of the country, employment." Government is 110 longer for the few. It is for the many. It must put an equal value upon the man as one, or men as the mass. Within the limitation of circumstance each man should be given the chance to develop the best that is in him. Such an opportunity is not presented to every man in this country. True, that would be an ideal government, but could we not approximate a little more nearly to the ideal?

Is it not possible for every man in this rich and productive country to have such honest employment as will give him food and raiment? Legislation has looked too much to the welfare of vested interests, and too little to the interests of the man whose muscle wins his bread. Protection to the workingman is an old and familiar campaign cry, but when the brief fever of a campaign with all its lurid oratory,and rosy promises is past, we fall back into the same old rut of a man to man struggle to get and keop gain, and in the grand rush the workman is lost. He has interests, but who lobbies bills through legislature or congress for Ijis benefit? While he earns, day byi day, his bread the re. lentless corporation is "seeing after" its interests in legislative councils^ When will somebody really "see after'' the man with the dinner pail

harmonious relations and sym

pathetic accord which has hitherto prevailed between the Indianapolis Sentinel and the Democratic press of the state is mightily strained of late. The criticism of the Sentinel's attitude toward the Democratic members of the late General Assembly, and toward certain measures is quite free, and in some instances sweeping. A movement is on foot to start anew Democratic paper at the Capital which may more nearly accord with the views of the Democrats of the state. It is reported that John R. McLean, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, is interested in the scheme, and is willing to take three-fourths of the stock—either to start anew paper or to purchase the News which is now in litigation. If the scheme is consummated there will be a great clashing of interests and what the consequences will be may be left to speculation. It is certain that harmony must prevail among the press of the state, in order to achieve sue. cess. There must be concert of action, and a uniform policy in order to win. Good and loyal Democrats will put aside personal interests and work for harmony, the principles of Democracy, and the good of the people.

"WE are entitled to the most available man, whoever he may be and events of the next three years will be needed to aid us in selecting him." These are the words of WT. J. Bryan as they appear in a letter written to a Chicago editor in 1897 and just made public. Mr. Bryan clearly recognizes the fact that events, not men make issues, and that the man who best represents those issues must be the leader of the party in the next campaign.' The above words absolve him from the charge of selfish motives so frequently made against him. It has been repeatedly asserted that he is a time-serving and graceless demagogue who plays upon the fears and prejudice of people for the sole purpose of personal gain. Yet we find him willing to yield the leadersliip to the man most available for the sake of the good of his party and tlu nation. Few men have made more bitter enemies than he by championing a political issue. T11 the animosity engendered by a campaign some very unjust things were said. Sneers are poor arguments, yet they were profusely used against him. A little time will answer those and a juster estimate of the character of the man will prevail among his political opponents.

A BLOODY FISTICUFF.

Two Young Men Exchange Courtes

ies to the Delectation of Passers By. On Saturday afternoon two young gentlemen of convivial tendencies met in a west Market street saloon. The}' were liail-fellow well met, and the hour seemed propitious for "a high old time." They pledged each other in the flowing bowl and swore eternal friendship. Their mutual admiration increased momentarily and demonstrations of affection grew more warm and frequent. Finally in sportive mood, one young gentleman, Carl Chadwick, better known by the euphonious title of "Tub" playfully planted a little love pat 011 the mouth of his dear companion, Fred Barnett. This caressing demonstration of affection however was so much like the blow of a grizzly bear that it bowled the recipient over and made a bloody gash in his face. The mutual admiration society was now in full blast and the exchange of civilities was greatly encouraged. Mr. Chadwick finally concluded that it was time to make a call at a house on the corner of Spring and Green streets.

He had been so shaken up in the convivialties of the hour that he had forgotten an important engagement. He hastily set out to retrieve his error. Mr. Barnett, despite the proprieties insisted upon accompanying him. A large number of people witnessed the journey of the two bloody and disheveled young men. They attracted considerable attention 011 the street At the hosee before mentioned, they neglected to modulate their voices to the tones recognized in good society as proper, and Officers Brothers, Flynn and O'Neil, felt called upon to conduct the young gentlemen to the jail, where after due process they could receive further instruction in social form. They are now awaiting judicial action. As Mr. Chadwick has received a call to the Jeffersonville reformatory for some little peccadilloes and which call is held in suspension, it is not impossible that he may find it now convenient to accept.

The Dog Poisoner.

The dog poisoner has been going the rounds in the city for several days past, and a number of families are mourning the loss of household pets. Ed Luse has suffered the loss of a favorite pointer, for which he refused $25 a few days since. Several others have been equally unfortunate. Few things annoy the owner of a dog so much as such an act by some irresponsible person. It is generally regarded as a very sneaking thing to do, and nobody has any respect for a dog poisoner, or commends his act. He is placed in the same category as the sneak thief. So long as the law fixes the status of the dog, and his owner complies with its provisions, he has a right to the law's protection. It is true that there are many worthless dogs, but if licensed by law, no person has a right to destroy them wantonly. To kill them with poison is a cruel and unnecessary act of vandalism. If detected the poisoner will probably experience several bad half hours at the hands of persons whose canine pets have been killed.

Sunday Scrap.

Early Sunday it was observed that George Long and Charles Annabel suffered strained relations. The crisis came on in the afternoon when the twain got together, in the most scientific manner, punching each others physiognomies as Corbett would a striking bag. When the mists had cleared away Mr. Long had assumed the role of the triumphant Goliath while Annabel's features bore a faint resemblance to a country butchering. However, they are not beyond the redemption of a nickle's worth of court plaster. No arrests have as yet been made, but Mr. Annabel avowed his intention of filing an affidavit against his antagonist Monday.

Dead of Consumption

Mrs. Susan Pettit died yesterday morning, at an early hour, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Thos. Apple, on east Franklin street. The deceased was 33 years of age and has been a patient sufferer for some time with consumption and finally succumbed to the grim destroyer. Serces will be conducted this morning at 9 o'clock by Rev. T. D. Fyffe, at the residence. Interment at Mt. Pisgah cemetery. w!

The infant child of Ivin Shelby and wife,of West Lafayette is reported as in a critical condition from bronchial trouble. The parents have the sympathy of .many friends here.
