leading candidates, Thomas J. Hender

the party united on Walter Reeves. He
defeated the democratic nominee for
congress, Capt. Gibbons, by 4.0S2 votes,
although at that time the district was
believed to have n democratic major-

he honorable nickname which he now
lears. He did not show an aptitude
ben for political life, nor did he make
my effort to enter it. He was a repub
ican as soon as the new party was or
ganized and uncompromising in his at
itude on the questions raised during
he civil war, but until 1803 he did not
olicit the votes of the people, and then
inly to become the mayor of Burling
on, a position which he filled with
iredit.
When his term expired he retired
igain to private life, from which he did
lot emerge until 1872, when party ex
gencies demanded his election to the
egislature, and he was Bent to the
ouse. In 1874 he was elected speaker
it the house, and aguin in 1876 the same
office was given him. His first term as
peaker came at the end of the famous
eadlock in the grange legislature of
'874. From the legislature he passed to
he governor's chair, where he served
our years. Retiring from the govern
ir's chair, he became a private citizen
igain until 1886, when he was elected to
degress and reelected in 1888, practi
cally without oppostion.
The landslide against the republican
inrty in 1890 defeated him for reelec
ion to congress with four other eon
-ressmen of the state, but he served as

ome time. In 1S92 his party again re-

WASHINGTON'S RAZOR.

The centenary of the death ol

the fact that a Missouriun, Mrs, Julia
E. Mans, of Linneusi, is the possessoi
of a razor that was the property of
the Father of His Country during the
revolution, and which he usik! last on
the morning following the battle .ot

A well-known colonial character anil

Vivian Brookln, who was. taking leave
of his superior officer, said to the com

you to give me some trivial thing Of
a token of our friendship, and which 1

A I'ropoRltlon That Wonld Rnnhle
Money to H Secured Independent
of Hunker In Time of Flnnnclnl
nialrnst.
The currency bill introduced in con
gress by Hon. Joseph C. Sibley de
serves the oareful consideration of our
national lawmakers, and all who aro
Interested In stability of prices and pre
vention of financial panics. Injurious
ly affecting, as they do, all legitimate
interests. The bill provides that any
holder of government bonds may de
posit them with the United States
treasurer, and receive therefor 80 per
cent of their face value In treasury
notes of the same debt paying power
as now granted to the notes Issued by
national banks. During the period of
deposit the Interest on the bondB shall
cease, or be covered into the United
States trcpsury. Upon the surrender
of the certificate of deposit, together
with payment of treasury notes equal
in amount to the sum advanced, the
bonds may again be converted to the
use of their lawful owner. The merits
of such measure briefly are as fol
lows: IT AFFORDS ELASTICITY.
It provides for a currency that would
automatically expand and contract ac
cording; to the demands of business.
Within tho last few weeks money has
loaned In New York as high as 186 per
cent. During the panic of 1893 money
could not be borrowed with govern
ment bonds as security. Under the pro
visions of the bill Introduced by Mr.
Sibley in time of financial distress the
currency could be expanded. If neces
sary, more than $400,000,000. The
reason for naming 80 per cent of the
face value of the bonds is that the
government shall not be put regularly
in tho business of loaning money, but
merely to lend Its power to prevent ex
cessive rates of interest or financial
disaster. When money Is worth more
In the open market than the interest
on 80 per cont of tho face .value of the
bonds, money would flow out Into cir
culation. When tho Interest upon 80
per cent Vas worth Icbs than the in
terest upon the face of the bonds, the
currency would flow bnck into the
treasury and the bonds be withdrawn.
Mr. Sibley's statement being that both
a scarcity of money and a redundancy
of money may possess danger, the sear
city hindering business and paralyzing
industries, while a too redundant cur
rency might provoke speculation and
overtrading, which would in the end
inevitably invite disaster. Mr. Sibley
states that he is not wedded to nny
fixed percentage to be advanced by the
treasurv. but pnv percentage from 60
tip to 80 would be satisfactory, as the
wisdom of the house may determine.
This measure has received a great deal
of attention among lawmakers and
bankers, one and all agreeing that it
has features which entitle It to careful
consideration. No one has yet been
able to offer a valid objection, but
these perhaps may come when the bill
is analyzed by the committee on bank
ing and currency.
PITY THE POOR BANKS.
The only objection that has yet been
made is to the effect that the banks are
In business to loan money and derive
their profits therefrom, and should not
be subjected to competition through
loans made by the government. In
reply to this objection Mr. Sibley
urees that under the new currency bill'
which has recently passed the house
bankers are enabled to Issue money up
to the full face value of their bonds, at
the same flme receiving interest upon
the bonds so deposited, and to give to
the holder of bonds the privilege of
losing his Interest, and drawing 60, 75
or 80 per cent of the face value of his
bonds does not subject the bank to
any unfair competition, and that the
bankers themselves, under stress of
financial circumstances, might be great
beneficiaries, which would enable them
to convert their securities Into cash
during the prevalence of a panic, which
would make a run upon their resources.
Mr. Sibley urges that under the pro
visions of a law such as this there
could not again occur a great financial
revulsion, and that the advantages
would not be centered in New York or
in any gruat city, but would benefit
locally, throughout the entire United
States, the community where there
might be a scarcity of money whtcn
would force rates abnormally high and
threaten to create a panic. Secretary
Oage declares that the worst character
istic of our financial system is its
rigidity, and Mr. Sibley's plan certainly
would overcome this to considerable
extent at least.
The Word Is More Often Applied lo
lh (irrnt UnRlnea
of Death.
"The evolution of the word 'gun
forms an Interesting study in up-to-date
etymology," remarked one of a
pnrty of newspaper men, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. "A dozen or
so years ago we all understood gun to
mean a fowling piece a shotgun as dis
tinguished from a rifle or a musket.
Henty and light ordnance, in fnet all
pieces of artillery, without regard to
size, were known'as cannon. That, of
course, was where people made an ef
fort to speak English. Out In the
frontier the word gun was applied ex
clusively to pistols.
"Nowadays the nomenclature hns
curiously changed. By degrees the
good old word gun hos become monop
olized by the long, slim, murderous ma
chines that constitute our modern ar
tillery. We speak of quick-fire guns,
eight-inch, ten-Inch, twelve-inch guns,
and the word seems singularly apropos.
They are not cannon. 'Cannon' imme
diately suggests the big, lumbering,
black-throated, smooth-bores of the
past. The word conjures up all sorts ot
curious antique pictures swabbers
naked to the wuist, motionless men
holding lighted matches, frigates
lashed together and firing Into each
other's ports, Sepoys bound to the
tnuzz'.e, neat geometric pyramids of
found shot in neat geometric forts, the
charge of the Light Brigade, and lots of
other things loo numerous to nien-tiou."
