CUT TOO DEEP,
Cabinet Considers $10,000,000
Tax Reduction Too Great.
Washington. Dec.7 The cabinet meet
ing today was largely devoted to a dis
cussion of the question of coinage for the
Philippine islands and as a result, it is
probable that the secretary of war will
request a hearing on the subject befoie
one of the committees of congress. Near
ly all of the business of the islands is
transacted in Mexican dollars and army
commissaries and other supplied with
United States money are at times great
ly embarrassed in making purchases
from the Filipinos, by the fact, that
knowing nothing of our money or its
value, the latter often refuse to accept
it. The proposition which seems to have
met with, favor by the administration is
to purchase silver bullion at the present
market price and coin it into distinctive
dollars having a gold value of about 50
cents each. These dollars probably wiil
contain a little less silver than the pres
ent standard dollars. The scheme has
not yet been worked out In all of its
details, but as there is at present a gov
ernment coinage mint in Manila, it is
hoped that by the early action of con
gress the new coins may be put in cir
culation before a great while, possibly
before the winter is over.
The cabinet also discussed the house
bill revising the war revenue act which
proposes a cut of about $40,000,01)0 in the
revenues.
There fa no difference of opinion
among the members of the administra
tion on this subject all thinking that the
cut is too deep and agreeing that it
would be unwise in the extreme to make
the cut greater than $30,000,000.
LELAND NOT INTERESTED.
Has No Connection With Libel Suits
in Supreme Court.
The libel cases brought against Pool
Grinstead and Frank W. Elliott by Sen
ator John Fulton and A. R. Graves and
Albert Perry in Doniphan county, were
submitted to the supreme court, on ar
gument, today.
These cases are appealed from the dis
trict court of Doniphan county, having
passed through the court of appeals.
These cases have been sometimes re
ferred to as the Leland cases, but Mr.
Leland is not in any way identified with
them, either as plaintiff or witness.
NEW TH0j1PS0NC1IARGE.
Gambling House Proprietor to Be
Again Arrested.
There is a warrent out for the arrest
of Mike Thompson for gambling at 710
Kansas avenue. This is a different
charge from the one on which Thompson
will be tried this afternoon, as that
charges him with gambling at 712 Kan
sas avenue.
The warrant has not been served, but
it will be when Thompson has his trial
this afternoon. Chief Stahl thinks the
case is a good one as he has men who
were at the tables when the games were
in progress. The men are prepared to
make affidavit that they were in the
game at Thompson's place.

rr'SluCCIESSOR
He Will Be Chosen at Primary
Tomorrow.
The Republican primary in the Thirty
eighth representative district, which In
cludes the First and Second wards, Oak
land and Tecumseh township, will be
held tomorrow afternoon.
The contest has been narrowed down
to two men, M. C. Holman, president
of the Commercial club, and J. B. Betts,
city councilman. Both men live in
North Topeka. Mr. Holman has always
been a promoter of the interests of To
peka, and though he. has a large business
he has freely given of his time and
money to help boom Topeka. Mr.
Betts has been less active in public life,
but is a successful contractor.
It is seldom that a man like Mr. Hol
man will consent to aerve the interests
of the people in the legislature, and
when he does he ought to have the right
of way. "While nothing can be said
against Mr. Betts, it is evident that Mr.
Holman can best subserve the interests
of the city and he ought to be nomi
nated and elected.
The people are tired of the Baker
Burton controversy, and it ought to be
kept out of this contest. The represen
tative wiil probably have a chance to
vote for a third man, and he ought to
be free to do so. Mr. Holman entered
the race at the suggestion of Congress
man Curtis, which means that he would
undoubtedly vote for Curtis for United
States senator. He is a strong personal
friend of Mr. Curtis. Mr. Betts is also
a friend of Mr. Curtis. The people ought
to feel relieved that they will be able
to vote tomorrow without having to
take a part in the tiresome Baker
Eurton fight.
The following will be the voting places
for the Republican primaries in the
Thirty-eighth representative district to
morrow: First ward Kansas avenue dividing
line): First precinct, 904 Kansas avenue,
A. C. Wallace. Second precinct, Mar
shall's shop, Norris street, Frank Beach.

Eczema is caused, by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
flammation ; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off ; sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any
forte is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable ; the acid burning
humor seem to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter.
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

TWO OFFICERS DROPPED.
Policemen Bechtol and Montgomery
Removed.
Chief Stahl la making every effort to
improve the police force. Yesterday he
recommended to the mayor that Officers
A. W. Bechtol and J. K. Montgomery be
removed from the force. They were re
moved "in the interest of harmony,
morality and sobriety," and the expres
sion means a great deal.
"If Chief Stahl is to succeed in the
closing of the joints and gambling
rooms," said Mayor Drew, "he must
have officers on the force who are in
sympathy with him. I do not like to
remove a man from the force, but I will
do so in any department when the head
of the department is convinced that the
mar: should be removed."
The places of the officers removed will
be filled by William Hutton and Con.
Healy. Both of the new officers have
been employed in the asylum and axe
