The Pension Department must have its rules, of course, but when a widow 83 years old, who has lived with the husband of her youth' for fifty-seven years is refused a pension because she can not prove that the marriage ceremony was performed, as related in a Carroll County case, it appears to be more of a circunlocuti n office titan is necessary and the exercise of common sense a virtue to be recommended.

Bryan's Financial Plan. Mr. Bryan, before leaving the cap

ital, dictated, in response to a request, the following interview setting forth briefly his views on the fi nancial situation: "Lack of public confidence ia what lrives money out of circulation. Ka store public confidence and money returns to its accustomed channels. For lack of confidence the best rem edy is insurance of bank deposits and I have urged upon the various states and Congress1 the passage of some measure similar to the law adopted by Oklahoma. This provdes for the creation of a guaranty fund by as sessments from time to time as may be necessary to restore the guaranty fund when it is lowered by the payment of money to depositors of failed banks. This permits the tesources of all the banks to be the resources of each bank, and insures each dcpositoi aga-inst loss. The Oklahoma statute permits national banks to take advantage of the state law and a national law should permit state banks to come under the provisions of that law in states which have no guaranty system. "As to an elastic currency, I think provision could be made for sufficient elasticity in time of emergency by a law providing for the issue of United States notes, such notes to be loaned by the Government to the banks up on adequate security and at a rate of interest wfrioh would compel the re tirement of the notes when the emergency is over. "I suppose nearly all members of Congress and senators' favor some provision for an emergency currency. The Democrats as a rule, favor a syster under which the Government wiil issue and contr.il the value of emergency currency, while most Republicans favor some system under which it would be issued and controlled by the banks. This presents the point in dispute between the two parties. Progress in Currency Legislation. Before the Aldrich currency bill was drafted the idea was sedulously spread that the tracks were all cleared for that bill, whatever it proved to be, and that no o,ther bill would have a chance for enactment. How faulty that idea was appeared quickly enough, and already a number 0 changes have been announced designed to make the bill more attractive to bankers and business men. Congressman Fowler's bill, as a rival to the Aldrich bill, has developed 0 far as can be seen, little or no strength. In place of it the "bankers' bill," which has now been introduced in both houses of Congress, has come to the front.. The issue is Irawn, therefore, to all appearances, between the bankers' plan for asset currency and the Aldrich plan for an extension of bond-secured currency issues. The progress of tnese two plans has not, however, suppressed the arguments in favor of a central bank. Under the, guise of a central clearing-house . association United States Treasurer -Treat has recently spoken for this plan. Even more frequently arguments are heard for some form of clearing-'hoirse currency to be used in emergencies on a legalized basis, much as the volunteer issues of the clearing-houses have been used twice already in times of especially great need. Ex-Secretary of the Treisury Gage has, for example, renewed his advocacy of this plan, and James G. Cannon, a New York banker, in lecturing at Columbia University the other day, not only thought that an emergency currency issued through clearing-houses onlyi was desirable but that its issue at a rate that would make it cost the banks' 12 per cent would be wise. Record-Herald. Supreme Court Decision. The supreme court of the United States handed down a decision of far-reaching effect -and general importance Tuesday in which the act of congress of June 1, 1898, prohibiting railroad companies engaged in interstate commerce from discriminating against members of labor organizations wasi held unconstitutional. It was in the case of William Adair versus the United States, and it was decided by the supreme court favorably to Adair. The case went to the supreme court on a writ of error from the United States district court for the eastern district of Kentucky. Adair was sued on the charge of threatening to dis-cl-arge a locomotive engineer named Coppage, because the latter was a member of a labor union. The act of 1898, which was one of the results of the great Chicago strike, was invoked for Coppage: protection, and the district court fined Adair $100. The constitutionality of the act was attacked in the district court by the railroad attorneys', and when the decision was announced they took the matter to the supreme 'courtt with the result that the decision of the lower court was reversed. Justice Harlan wrote the decision for the United States, supreme court and holds that Adair, as1 master mechanic of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad company, had a right to discharge an employe because he was a member of a labor organization just as it was the employe's right to leave such employment because of his membership in the organization. Such a course, the decision added) mitfht be unwise, but a si to the matter of right there could be no doubt. Congress could not authorize a violation of contracts in the guise of protecting interstate commerce. Rebating Admitted A. B. Starr, of Pittsburg, superintendent of transportation on the Pennsylvania lines, testifying before the-Indiana railroad commission's investigation into application of reciprocal demurrage rules in the state, which was held at Indianapolis', admitted that railroads in the past have discriminated in favor of some shippers and against others in the matter of car service charges. This sort of rebating, he said, is even to this day common where competition between roads is heaviest.

Council Proceedings. The city council met in regular

session Monday evening, with councilmen Buck and Ness absent. Report of boiler inspector on water works boilers was received and submitted to committee. Superintendent of water works Armstrong, reported that the brick wells under the boilers had been repaired in accordance with instructions. The matter of renting the land recently purchased bv the council, from O. P. Bair, came up. It was decided that sealed bids be received by the council, at the next meeting, on Feb. 10th. This land known as the Seltenright farm will be rented to t'.e successful bidder, for one year rent payable quarterly in advance. This will include all of the buildings: but will reserve four acres which will be platted this year, for burial purposes. A resolution was passed approving the report of the oity civil engineer, and accepting the North Michigan street sewer. The report showed that the sewer was O. K. in all respectsi, except two man-holes ami a small trench which remained in the street. It was decided that $j0 be retained from the $1439.20 due contractor H. H. B-onham, until the deficiency be corrected. Committee on accounts and stationery reported bills to the amount of $07.28 which were allowed. Finance committee then reported, Cash on hand $133.92 Bills allowed 67.28 Balance on hand $06.64 It was reported that in many cases the water rental was far in arrears, and that some of the accounts were badly in need of adjustment. This matter was referred to committee on water works, with power to act. Planning to Beat Back the Temperance Wave. An organized movement against the wave of prohibition Vhich is spreading over the country is now being made en New York and elsewhere. The brewers and dealers in brewers' supplies and machinery are behind the movement, and are organizing associations throughout the country, the object of which will be to fight the prohibition movement. The organization in . New York is known as the Manufacturers and Dealers' Club of Greater New York, and circulars have been sent to jobbing firms and men in the financial district in an effort to extend the membershnp throughout the business world. It is proposed, as soon as the local organizations are well under way throughout the country, to organize them into a -national organization. It is said that large numbers of business men are joining the local organization. In this connection attention is called to a recently published statement of the Distillers' Securities Corporation to the effect that while the prohibition movement lessens the consumption of beer, it has had at the same time the effect of increasing the demand for stronger beverages. Longcliff Again Crowded. Notwithstanding the fact that Longcliff hospital at Logansport was recently enlarged by two ward buildings, each with a capacity of 80 people, the men's building is already full and the, women's building is rapidly filling up. The tent that formerly provided very healthful and satisfactory quarters for 30 men has been taken down and- consigned to destruction as it was worn out but a new one will likely be put into service if the increase of patients on the men's side continues. Longcliff is one of the very f?w institutions in the country wh:re the men patients outnumber the women. Quashed Affidavits; Mayor Rigdon, of Warsaw, took the authority to quash the affidavits in eighteen cases against butchers and business men of that town for alleged violations of, the pure food law. Evidently' the mayor arrived at the conclusion that it would not be a very big drawing card fot Warsaw from a business standpoint to have the word go out . that the butchers and the bakers and the' candlestick makers in Warsaw were dealing lavishly in microbes as well as in other things on the scale entirely too extensive to whet the appetite of the average consumer. Rochester Sentinel. The Secret o Happiness. The wife of one of the President's Cabinet officers!, whose life has been a varied one and who is known as tht "happiest woman in Washington" as well as one of the most agreeable, gives the secret of her contentment when she says: "Where I am at the moment is the most interesting place in the world for me. I always find pleasure in my immediate environment." Nine-tenths of the discontented people one knows are they who are sure tfiat they could enjoy life is conditions were somehow different they who "never are but always to be blessed." Sanity in Legislation. "Overlegislation" is'not infrequently the cry of special interests afraid of publicity and interferenc with dubious policies. It is- also, however," a natural complaint in mviy instances from perfectly honest sources. It is notorious that much of our legislation, state and local, is crude, hasty and worthless, full of jokesi and flaws, the product of impulse, sympathy, ignorance and so on. Scarcely anyone will deny that more method is needed in legislation more information as a basis for it and more skill and knowledge in framing it. No Saloon at Lincoln Farm. The remonstarnce against the locating of a saloon at the entrance, of the Nancy Lincoln farm in Spencer county has been sustained by the county commissioners'. This is the location of the grave of Lincoln's mother.

Samuel R. Hamill Dies After a Brief Illness. Samuel R. Hamill, associate counsel for John R. Walsh, escaped death from bullets fired at him Jan. 14 by Mrs. Beatrice Metcalf, only to succumb Friday to an attack of pneumonia. He had been ill only five days. The lawyer, whose home is in Terre Haute, Ind., died at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon in his apartments at the Auditorium Annex. Rumors that death was due to a gunshot wound in the left lung were set rest Thursday night by Coroner Peter .Hoffman, who, with Coro'ner's Physicians Lewke and Huntert held an autopsy over the body. Physicians say that Mr. Hamil's physical condition due to his efforts in behalf f Mr. Walsh and to the scene caused by Mrs. Metcalf when she fired three shots at him in the federal building was such- that he was easy prey to pneumonia. The lawyer was stricken with grip immediately after the close of the Walsh trial. Shortly after symptoms of pneumonia had developed Sunday bronchical complications set in. Six Girls Overpower Masher.

Constantine is Dead; Injuries in Leap Fatal. Frank J. Coristantine, who was serving a sentence in the Joliet, 111., penitentiary for the murder of Mrs. Louise H.. Gentry, died at the penitentiary hospital at 9 o'clock Thursday night from injuries susta'ned Saturday when he jumped from the first gallery of the prison to the stone floor below. Had Constantine known of the filing in the Supreme Court of a bill of exception 'in his case, through which his attorneys sought to regain his liberty, he probably would not have taken the fatal leap. The bill was presented to the upper court an hour be fore the Italian murderer jumped. Attorney Robert E. Cantwell, who defended Constantine declared Thursday nighty the prisoner would not easily have given up hope had -e known of the efforts being made in his behalf. -The receipts from New York the same day of $450 made it possible to carry on the fight. Hurl Dynamite Bombs to Scare Law Enforcers. Feeling between the members of the Law and Order League at Girard, Ala., and persons' opposed to the prohibition laws, reached its height Friday night when dynamite bombs were exploded in front of the residences of C.
