I WANT A DOLLAR.
"I want a dollar that I cun spend
In any part of the world," eaid Mr.
OoldbuK. He is now anxious to take
aome of the government'* certificates
of Indebtedneaa—the despised green
back. We have ulwaya contended
that money taaued by. the government
la good enough und now that Mr.
Goldbug has come around to that be
lief we aee no reason why a currency
might not be Issued by the govern
ment based on gold und silver. That
Is the money of the people and there
comes times when even the Wall
street speculators and the millionaire
trust magnates will take such money
and say It Is good medicine. It Is the
proper remedy now as It was the rem
edy In 1886. The credit of the gov
ernment is all that Is necessary to
make currency absolutely safe and
good, but It has taken about ten years
to prove that the advocates of free
ooinage of silver and the Issuance of
money by the government Is the only
safeguard against money stringency.
The people have absolute confidence
in the government und it alone can
Issue the necessary currency without
creating distrust.
Mr. Ooldbug Is now shouting: "I
want a dollar that I can spend at
home."
With all the seriousness attached
to the financial situation, It Is not
devoid of the amusing and ridiculous.
The Spokesman-Review and many
other gold bug papers and speculat
ors who. in 1888 could see no money
worth having aaide from gold, are
now whooping It up for clearing
house certificates, certificates of In
dsbtedness and all kinds of "rag*
money. The free silver advocates
can stand aside and enjoy the ucta
of these acrobats.
President Roosevelt has Invited
the governors of all the states to as
semble at the White House In May
to discus* means of conserving our
natural resources. Such a meeting
must result In much good to the nu
tloa. But It should also Include the
discussion of uniform divorce laws,
pure food laws and railway leglala
tlon. A uniformity of legislation
covering theae subjects would he
most advantageous to the people.
Praise Kor American Women.
lie happy marriage question Is agl
tatiog the English public, and compart*
non has been made between English
and American women ns metes for
continental Europeans. Recently the
Loadou Chronicle cited the views of s
Frenchwoman who asserts that the
American woman is the more success
ful In foreign alliances. One of the
reasons given Is that "she makes her
husband proud of his wife."
This observer says that the English
woman remains aggressively English
wherever she Is placed. Ntrangc to
any, the unions of Englishmen with
German womvu are said to turn out
happily. But hi cosmopolitan circles
a wife must play mauy parts, that of
companion to her husluind as well as
housekeeper ami mother, and In the
role of companion the American wife
surpasses the English.

T > medical specialists, Sir Orteh
ton ... owne of I»ndou and Dr. Woods
Hutchluson, an English trained physi
cian now settled In this country, have
recently delivered views on the "per
fect diet" which virtually amount to a
condemnation of all food fads. Dr.
Crlchton-Browne says that food fads
are In the nature of a deprivation,
while Dr. Hutchinson Insists that In
telligent selection of the food which
the Individual system demands is the
only safeguard. The latter declares
that meat enters are the dominant und
conquering strain among men.
The evil of eating too much Is soon
apparent nml can lie corrected, while
the effects of eating too little are slow
*f development Hnd may bring about
Ilia not connected with the digestive
organs. We look upon food as the
fuel of the human engine, and the
components of every mesl should tie
selected with n view to the work to be
ilone. The theories of Mr. Fletcher
with regard to slow and iierfect mas
tication are not new, for there is
scarcely s mother In the land who Is
not saying daily to her children and
perhaps to some adults nrotind her ta
ble that food should lie chewed fine
and not liolted. Recently Mr. Fletcher
has added another article to bis creed,
which la that the human being needa
no brvnkfnst. He saya that a night's
rest gives the Isxly all the nourish
ment uecessary and that the breakfast
appetite la only a habit. A radical
swing, this, from the every day notion
that n pel son who comes to the break
fast table without an appetite ueeds
an Interview with the medicine mau
In sleep a change of tissues takes
place In the ls»dy, and food must fol
low In order to restore harmony. Many
doctora Insist that a morning appetite
must be had even If It takes a mile
walk to bring It around. Tbe question
Is uot ns to bow one feels on a break
fast or tbe going without, but the sit
uation two or three hours later, after
the steam stored up In sleep bus lieen
worked out. German nnd French
workmen eat light breakfasts, but they
take food at II o'clock to make up for
It. The general experience of the
world sustulus those doctors who teach
that mau must feed himself with the
same care aud liberality which be be
stows upon his work animals, and that
Is according to the tasks on band. In
tbe long run the npi>etlte which has
not Iteeu tampered with la the safest
guide as to what It wants and when
It wants It.
The Sly Japs.
It turns out that tbe lay public aud
war experts ns well were wide of the
mark In supposing that the finish fight
between the Russian aud Japanese
fleets had added materially to tbe
world's Information as to armored
•hips and modern gun Are. The Japs
were victor* and barely gave their foe
time to see just how they did It. And
they themselves "ain't saytn' uuffln."
They have made no statement, aud no
word has leaked out from Japanese
naval headquarters as to what feature
or features of their armament gave
them the superiority.
There were half a dozen questions,
more or less, which experts wished
might lie decided In actual battle with
res|>ect to the efficiency of certain
kinds of shells, of powder, of armor,
the ranges which regulate efficiency,
and so on.. The Ja|>s sank the Russian
ships, nnd they raised them, but they
have never allowed outsiders to gain
tbe slightest Information from the tell
tale wrecks. This Is clearly a Japa
nese right, but It la well to remember
that |>eople who know the Japanese
character say this secretlveness Is a
national trait and extends to every
Held of activity.
Andrew Carnegie has given away

CAMP ON HOTEL ROOF.
Philadelphia Hcstslry 8uppliss Tents
For Guests Who Want Thom.
Anybody wli<> yearns to "sleep under
the stars," who finds a big t*droom
too confining, can camp out on tbe
roof of the -Ibdlevue-Hlriitford hotel,
Philadelphia, now, nay* a Philadelphia
special to the New York World.
A Judge arrived at the Bellevue
Stratford from the Adirondncks recent

man who had been sleeping out of

on the roof, which Is incased in glass |

twenty stories up, 310 feet above tbe
street.
Boon there will be a grove of little
pine nnd spruce trees on tbe roof In
which will stand twenty tents, each
one with a |sirtable bathtub and a
telephone Servants, costumed as
guides, probably will be In attendance,
but the campers must eat their venison
and bear steuks In the hotel dining
rooms. If the camp's ntmospherc
grows too close the glass dome can be
opened. Then the wind will whistle
through the tree*. The camp will be
maintained all winter probably.
FRESH FISH AT SEA.
Steamship Amsrika Hss a Trout Pool
For Epicures.
On a recent voyage of the steamship
Amerika there was a novelty for the
passengers. There were four tanks
stocked with trout and carp on the
deck, and the fish swam around until
they fascinated aome passenger, who
told the steward which one he wanted,
and then It was caught and cooked for
him.
The fish were In charge of Ernest
Marquandt. Dr. George L. Erlweln,
an aquarlat of Hamburg, had the task
of keeping the fish healthy, and all
that were not eateu made the trip In
good condition. The steward said that
about BOO trout nnd 150 carp were sold
on the voyage.
The tanka, big zinc affairs, filled with
fresh water, are housed away up on
the top of the ship, near the base or
the smokestacks. The water Is sup
plied with fresh oxygen by pumping
It Into the tops of little towers, where
through punctures tho fresh air comes
In touch with It, and thus the trout
are kept alive and jumping.
Tragedy at th* Telephone.

balance while working at the top of
a sixty foot pole on the outskirts of
Hammonton, but managed to grip a
cross arm ns he fell. Men rushed to
his aid, but liefore they could ascend

fell to his death. Those who sent the
news to Hammonton hnd no Idea of
the Identity of the receiver until they
heard her shriek at the close of the re
