PRESIDENT JAMES ELVERSON by the adoption of free and unlimited coinage of silver, 2. If any person take a counterfeit coin the loss is his. It would be the duty of the government to run down counterfeiters and punish them under the free and unlimited coinage of silver on private account, the same as 5t is now in regard to any of the coins of the United States coined an government account, as is the case with silver, on private account, as is the case with gold. The government assumes the sole power of coining mon ey as an act of sovereignty. It usea its power to give itself a monopoly of the coining business.

This is high praise and it is fully merited. The friends and admirers of the State Guard have had only one doubt in regard to its future, a doubt springing from the fear that it might be content to rest satisfied with Its pres-est state of development.

Except In details, In the handling of the squad or the troop, the regular army is not able to teach it much. If the guard is to advance beyond the position which it has already attained the moving Spirit must come from within the guard itself. There is no other force of men in the country from which its higher officers can draw-inspiration, much as some of the company officers might profit by the example set by the regular army.

The political significance of the approaching marriage becomes interesting when the present condition of Italy is considered. She, or rather her statesmen, have been carried away by dreams of the wielding of a power which her natural resources could never sustain. Instead of putting her internal affairs on a firm basis she has built a huge navy, sought to set up an African dominion and to-day stands humiliated, with a debt which is crushing her, her industries ruined and the flower of her population and the stay of the country dragged into the army and navy.

It is true that she is a member of the Triple Alliance, but that does not help her treasury in any way, and that is the only form of aid which would benefit her. Even as it is, she has not now the same feeling of for Germany which she once showed, and it would not surprise if she should yet transfer her allegiance to Russia. The fact that the proposed marriage was suggested by the Czar lends color to this thought and it may be that she will readjust her political relations in the hope of further expansion. An alliance Free Silver and the Tariff. To the Bditor of The Inquirer.

Is it true that the silver men at the last session of Congress would have agreed to a tariff revision provided the coinage law, as it was prior to 1873, was restored?

Upon those points where the regular army is weak, that organization cannot give much instruction to the guard. In the handling of men In large masses, in the transpoi'tation of troops in considerable numbers and in certain disagreeable lines of practical work the guard has had more experience than the regular army of to-day. The guard, however, should not and does not underestimate the value of the suggestions made from time to time by the regular officers.

The government goes even further and punishes those who counterfeit foreign coins that circulate in this country.

3, If this country should adopt the free and unlimited coinage of silver, imported goods would appreciate in price as measured in silver. The unlimited coinage of silver would put this country on a silver basis; gold would go out of circulation and our silver money would fall to the market price of silver bullion, and all of our paper currency would fall with it. Not only would imported goods go up in price as measured in silver, but domestic goods would also go up. In the meantime the w.ges of those who could get work in such times as unlimited coinage would bring1' to the country times of business doubts disturbance and deeper depression than we have known during the past three years would remain nominally where they are now, but being paid in the depreciated silver they would be less by at least 40 to 50 cents on the dollar. 4.

Philadelphia has been robbed for many years. Everybody knows it.

We have been paying for leaky reservoirs, cheaply paved streets, poor gas, electric light trusts, a host of petty office holders not needed by the people but by political bosses, and we have been making fortunes for men who have kindly relieved the citizens of all responsibility in municipal affairs.

An object lesson of great interest ta the visitors was the new greenhouse, which covers an acre of ground. One roof, of glass, covers the entire structure and Is supported by arches made of hollow pipes, which are perforated so that they can be used to spray water on the plants.

In New Jersey the changes are more remarkable. The poll was taken in Newark, Jersey City and Hoboken. Based on the replies received the Herald computes that New Jersey will give McKinley 75.000 majority. On the same basis it figures 40,000 for McKinley in While the basis Is entirely too small to maa confident predictions, the results attained by the Herald are in line with the reports that come in from' all sources.

The methods adopted by. those rioters, whoever they may have been, to terrorize the Turk were akin to those which are in use by England and Germany when they wish to annex territory in' Africa, but the Turk cantfot see it in -that light, and so retaliated in his usual brutish fashion. The rioters were not suppressed by the military, but they and hundreds of; unarmed Armenians were turned over to savage fanatics who slew them in their homes, hurried them through the streets and drowned them In the harbor. It has been broadly hinted by correspondents of German newspapers, who lej'laiiilj" have no motive to misrepresent the situation, that the outbreak was one of those fictitious revolts which have before now been started in Constantinople, and this is probably nearer the truth.

No country on the gold standard opens its mints to the unlimited coinage of silver. That Is the reason silver is current in those countries as full legal tender with gold.
