It quotes the act of 1890, which makes it imperative on the Treasury of the United States to maintain the parity of our different kinds of money, under which act the Secretaries of the Treasury have been doing that. It reads thus: "That upon demand of the holders of any of the tntiimrv Provided for the Secretary of the Treasury shall, under such regulations as he may prescribe, redeem such notes m gold or silver coin at his discretion, it being the established policy of the United States to maintain the two meuus on a parity with each other upon mo present legal ratio, or such ratio as may be provided by law." - And then it asks if a Democratic Secretary of the Treasurv could ignore this law, why couldn't he ignore any other law that might be passed? "What they do not like in this law is the discretion vested in the Secretary of the Treasury. leaving it optional with him to re deem notes in gold or silver. They would like to have that eliminated so that he could redeem only in gold, and then silver would have no recognition by law. That's what the anti-enactment organs are afraid of, because they know this is a com plete ignoring of the party's bi metallic declarations which the people would resent at the polls. That's what the matter with them, not the interest they take in silver. m - j IMITATIHO OKEAT BfilTAIff. The announcement in -the press dispatches published yesterday that a battalion had been recruited in Portoj Eico' for the United States Armyy which battalion is to be offi cered by Amerioans,is the beginning of a new departure, if it works well. In this the Washington authorities are imitating Great Britain which takes into her service native soldiers in the countries which? she grabs and puts them under the command of British officers, as in India. The conditions in Porto Eico are pretty favorable, we should think, since 'the recent destructive, hurri cane which destroyed so much pro perty and left so many persons des titute. The programme will proba bly be to draw on Porto Eico for some .troops to send to the Philip pines in the event the war be protracted there, and probably the same course will be pur sued t in those of the Philippine islands which are represented to be friendly to the United States and to hate the Tagalos. This will be done to avoid the necessity of making re peated calls for troops, which goes against the grain of the war managers-because of the unpopularity of me war aua tue tardy responses to calls for troops.

The Eepublican leaders have a few elephants on their hands that they .would like to dispose of in some way before the next Presidential campaign. These are the currency, trusts and Philippine war. They will try to dispose of the last by putting a large army in the field, to conquer an enemy whom we have been repeatedly assured on official authority are broken up into fac tions, demoralized and disheartened, people without leaders and leaders without a following. With an army of fifty thousand men they ought to be able to crush the "rebellion" in wno are the loyal, some of the "loyal", or "friendlies," as they are called, being given to the reprehen sible habit of shooting our men in the back when they are shooting at the other fellows in the front. This little Porto Eico scheme we take to be something of an experiment in seeing how the British plan will work. A black snake which had domes ticated in a Wsst Virginia church createda great racket while service was going on last Sunday because it became too familiar with one of the deacons and made a coil around his legs without previous notice. The deacon resented this by drawing his irniie ana proceeding to dissect the varmint. And then the racket and and that's why they wonld like to I the scampering began, leavine- thn ninety days after operations began, I 8ee thia currency elephant handled I deacm and the shake the solo occu- I A J 1 . dui wicn such management as we have had there is little prospect of their doing that in ninety days, or in four times nin&y days. But they are going to make a desperate effort to do it for the success of the Eepublican party in the next elec tion will be dependent to a great degree upon the success or failure in suppressing the "rebellion" in those islands. Henceforth it is to oe a war not only to maintain our : supremacy in the Philippines, but also to maintain the supremacy of tne i republican party, a matter in which they are much more con . cerned than they are in maintain ing our supremacy there, or rather than they would be if the success of the Eepublican party were not so largely dependent upon that. But whatever the outcome of that war may be the leaders will be con-' fronted by another question the trusts upon which they will be forced to take position, because many of the leading organs of the party have made that prominent, to steal Democratic thunder, have de manded that the party take position i against the trusts," and if no other way be found to deal with them 'to repeal the protective feature in the tariff which encourages and makes i trusts possible. That is all politics with them, of course, for trusts have been springing up for several years under the protective tariff and they never filed a protest against them until the Dmnmt. f fut bual forward as an issue and these organs began to hear from the people. It is pretty generally understood that there will be a plank in the Na tional Eepublican platform denounc ing trusts,but unfortunately for them Congress will meet before that pi at form is framed and they will be ex pected to show their hands by deal ing in some way with that question before the National Convention meets. If they fail to take action looking to the suppression of trusts then the platform plank will be re garded as so much unmeaning hrm. combe which will do the party more harm than good. If Congress does take any hostile action the trust manipulators will retaliate by refus ing to chip into Mark Hanna's hat when he passes it around, and if it doesn't the people will retaliate by holding the party . responsible for the inaction of Congress, which will be Eepublican m both branches, and can't dodge behind the plea of obstruction by the minority, which will not be strong enough to obstruct if it were bo disposed. Whichever way it is WnitthetrQ8t " an aVant that will give them trouble. And with these comes the cur rency question on which the organs are much divided, some crying Tost UJ for a positive enactment for the single standard and others clamor ing M lustfly against it. Those that clamor for it are roicing the money power for which thej speak, those that clamor against it are afraid of the people, many of whom sup ported the Eepublican party at the last election on its unequivocal dec- so as to make as possible. as little disturbance TEXTILE SCHOOLS.

The speed of the chainless has already been proved in at least one instance to the satisfaction of its makers and advo cates, says The Cycling Gazette. The chainless holds the world's one mile rec ord at astonishing figures, a fact that has doubtless done more than any other one agency to make wonderfully popu lar the style of machine on which the performance was accomplished. This particular gear, therefore, has an ad vantage over other gears, at least in the eyes of the general public, and oth er gears must therefore do something to catch the popular fancy. Records must be broken or races won. Th nnmtinn of superiority must be decided on the race course, and the result nf will tell a pretty reliable story. If all riders are mounted on chainless wheels, certainly, on the average, the best gear must win. If chainless mounted men win steadily from men on chain wheels, the chainless will get the credit But why stop to figure out the details T The safety's superiority over the ordinary was proved on the race course, as was the superiority of the pneumatic tire over the cushion, and it is now "up to" the chainless to demonstrate its worth.
