appointment to succeed Senator Mor

half an hour to think it over. He shut
'himself up in his library for 30 min

SENATOR WILSON, of the Minnesota
legislature, has introduced a bill which,
if it becomes a law, will practically ef
fect the pardoning of the Younger
brothers, who robbed the bank of
Nortlifleld and killed a number of peo
ple in I*7o. It is to amend the parole
law of Minnesota so that prisoners sen
tenced for life and who may have
served over "0 years in prison with a
good record may be granted a parole
without geographical limitations.
THK countess of Castcllane, daughter
of the late Jay Gould, has just moved
into the palace in the avenue of the

to that of the Arc de Triomphe and
the marble came from Italy. The great
feature will be the ball room, which
Occupies about a third of the area.
This magnificent abode promises to be
one of the sights of the French capi

GOLD is not the only valuable discov

to be handled exactly like ice, being

portation. It is declared it will re
move grease and dirt quicker than
soap. The "mineral paint" is of such
purity that it requires only roasting
and pulverizing to prepare it for the

not be persuaded to taste it. The
flavor, however, is most delicious.

that at first seemed very trivial. He
was sharpening a pencil, drawing the
knife toward him, when the blade
slipped and inflicted a hardly noticea
ble cut on his thumb. After some days
the wound became inflamed, and, as it
continued to grow worse rather than
better, he came from his home in the
center of the state for surgical treat
ment. Every effort was made to save
the thumb, but it finally had to be am
putated.
TIIEHE are half a dozen Felix Faures

in confusion, owing to the fact that

mysterious numeral does not signify
any dynastic claim, but merely indi
cates that he is the fourth of his fam

WHY THEY LOVE SILVER.
Brjunllm See In Free Coinage the
Only V ay t<> Swindle Their
Creditors.
The democratic members of the
house committee on coinage, which has
reported, with a recommendation that
it pass, the Hill bill for the maintenance
of the gold standard and the modifica
tion of the present system, have sub
mitted a minority report, in which they
denounce that measure vehemently.
They assert that the provision in the
bill for the redemption of silver dollars
in gold when desired will "sweep the
present silver dollars from their pres
ent position as standard money into the
category of credit money." The whole
scheme of the bill, they assert, "con
templates the destruction of silver as
money.*' They claim, also, that the pro
posed repeal of the provision which
prohibits national banks from with
drawing from circulation more than
$3,000,0t10 in any one month will enable
the banks "to contract circulation and
coerce legislation in years of panic and
business depression."
The democratic members of the com
mittee do more than attack the Hill
hill. They give notice that they are
going to offer a substitute. That sub
stitute will make both the gold and sil
ver dollars standards of value, and au
thorize the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of sixteen to one. These demo
crats, who disoover something wicked
in the proposition to redeem silver dol
lars in gold, so that there may be no
possibility of depreciation in their
value, aro unable to see anything wrong
in a proposition to coin silver bullion
worth less than half a dollar into a dol
lar for everybody who presents himself
at the mint, ar.d then force creditors to
accept such dollars as if they were the
equivalent of full-value dollars.
The charge is made that the sup
porters of the gold standard are "hos
tile" to the silver dollars. That is mani
festly untrue. The half million stand
ard silver dollars which have been
coined since 1878 have had the purchas
ing power of gold dollars ail that time.
They have been "as good as gold." That
has been the case because the gold
standard men have been able to frus
trate the attempts of the free silveritcs
to "degrade" the standard silver dol
lars by depriving them of half their pur
chasing power. If the liryanites had
been successful in 1896 they would have
opened the mints to the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of sixteen to one,
thus putting in each silver dollar less
I ban half the amount of metal it should
contain to be worth 100 cents. Had that
been done, the half million dollars al
ready in existence would have become
worth only 45 cents on the dollar.
The free silveritcs assert constantly
that thev are the only friends of silver.
They do not explain, however, that that
alleged friendship is due exclusively to
their belief that it is only through the
medium of depreciated silver money
that creditors can be swindled and dis
honest debtors enabled to retain the
property of others without paying for
it. If the commercial ratio of silver to
gold were to-day sixteen to one the
liryanites would cease to care for silver,
for it would not lend itself to their
knavish purposes, but as long as the
commercial ratio is thirty-four and one
haft' to one they will continue to de
mand free coinage and dishonest dol
lars. —Chicago Tribune.
A FIRM STANDARD.
The Gold Standard Is tlie "World's
Standard and Republicans
Will Adhere to It.
The republican majority of the lious ;
committee on coinage has presented a
unanimous report in favor of the Hill
currency bill. The intention of this
bill may be best expressed in the lan
guage of the report itself, which says:
"The purpose of this bill Is to set at rest
a'l questions as to the existing legal unit
of value in this country ar.d to remove all
doubt in relation thereto: to protect and
strengthen the credit of the I'nited State#
and the honor of its citizens; to insure the
permanent eouality and value In the hands
of the people of every dollar of ihe United
States and of every kind of our currency
of the same denomination: to hold in free
ond unhampered circulation all kind ; of
our present currency, and to provide an
adequate amount of circulating medium of
stable value to transact the business of
the country."
This purpose is evidently in harmony
with, t lie long-continued policy atfid with
Ihe declarations of the republican
party. That party would favor a bi
metallic standard if it were the world's
standard, but as the world's* standard
is persistently gold the republican par
ty would have the gold standard recog
nized by the law of the country, and all
kinds of currency made conformable
thereto, again the language of
the committee on this point:
"A double bimetallic standard is Im
practicable—impossible. A bimetallic cur
rency is practicable and desirable, and is
promoted, strengthened and fortified by
this bill. We adopt gold as the standard
because it is the most stable in value and
hence the most just and safe standard by
vvhlieh to measure other values. We pro
mote the convenience of the people by
providing an adequate supply of both sil
ver and gold in our currency, but we can
only do it with justice 10 them by protect
ing them from the possible depreciation of
silver in thr-ir hands, and hence we throw
about silver such safeguards, by limiting
its coinage and providing for its exchange,
as will maintain its parity with our gold
and paper currency."
The present senate is a bar to cur
rency legislation. Rut this unanimous
republican report indicates that the
party is not afraid of the currency
question, and that its confidence is
based upon an adherence to the sound
principles that have guided financiers
the wcrld over.—Troy Times.

that we are "on the threshold of a hugs

ALREADY EXPANDED.
F.irTy Indication* of (lie llenefitM It e-
Miiltinu from the A«*<| ul*l 1 ion
of the Philippine*.
While senators are thiveringly debat
ing- whether we ought to expand or not,
the benefits of expansion have already
begun. C'onsul-Ueneral Wildman, of
Hong-Kong, says in his just published
annual report that the presence of the
American squadron and army on the
Asiatic coast has had a great effect in
stimulating our trade with that region.
He predicts that this benefit will prove
permanent, and adds:
"Nothing t hat could have happened to
this coast would be of so great a help
in the introduction of Americau goods
into these markets as the presence of so
large a body of American consumers in
our midst.
"Our forces of occupation have dorce
more than conquer a country; they
have made an impression on Asiatic
markets that can never be effaced.
"When our fleet first arrived here (in
February, 1898) there \ft*re a few sam
ple cases of American tinned milk,
fruits, meats, whisky, beer, etc., in the
big English and German wholesale
houses. The imports from America
were made up almost wholly of Cali
fornia flour and American kerosene.
To-day every steamer and ship from
America brings cargoes of American
goods. While their ultimate destina
"t ion is Manila, they are handled by Eu
ropean firms here and come before the
public in such imposing quantities that
lirst curiosity is aroused and demand
follows. The great difficulty in the past
has been to get the great body of
Chinese consumers to sample our man
ufactures. Even if Ihis were possible,
the goods came over in small consign
ments, and at prices which were pro
hibitive to all but those who could af
ford to pay for luxuries. With the in
flux of Americans into Manila, Ameri
can firms have found 'it to their ad
vantage to send out men to study the
needs of this climate. Already one
house has been established in Hong-
Kong with a branch at Manila, which
is meeting- with gratifying success. I
am informed that there is a shipment
of 45,000 bales of upland cotton from
Texas on its way, which has been pur
chased by a large Chinese firm, and is l
laid down here as cheaply as the In
dian cotton."
These are merely the first fruits, at a
single point, of a military invasion.
What will be the result when 100,000
American miners,merchants, engineers,
r;|jlroad men and planters are settled in
the Philippines, setting an example of
the use of American good® to 8,000,000
natives, when 10,000-ton ships ply across
Ihe Pacific every week, and when lines
of American coasting steamers, with
their headquarters at Manila, ply up
and down the whole front of Asia, from
Singapore to Vladivostock?
We have already expanded. Dewey
and Merritt have been the advance
agents of American commerce. All that
remains is to finish and secure what
they have begun.—N. Y. Journal

DEMOCRATS DONE FOR
Political Oblivion the Portion of the
ObatructorM of .National
I'rojcrefiN.
The senatorial deadlocks in Dela
ware and Pennsylvania, where un
doubtedly republicans ultimately will
be elected, make but two places to be
iiiledi in the representation from tlie
territory lying east of the Mississippi
and north of the Ohio in the new United
States senate which v\ill take office on
the 4th of .March.
In this entire territory there will be
after the 4ili of March not a single
democratic United States-senator. This
great territory, which contains by the
census of IS9O, 35,485,726 population out
of the 01,908,900 population in the
United States and a far greater propor
tion of the wealth of the country, was
always republican, but never before in
the history of the United States has
one political party in the upper branch
of congress monopolized its representa
tion. There must be a cause for this
remarkable tergiversation, and it is not
hard to find. The majority of the peo
ple of this portion of the country are
given over to a practical rather than a
sentimental pursuit of life, liberty and
happiness, and in the republican party
is seen the only possible chance for sta
bility in the government at Washing
ton. The people of this portion of the
country, however, in spite of their re
publicanism—much of it newly ac
quired—are intensely critical and hold
the republican party and the men whom
that party places in office to a strict
accountability for their public acts.
It probably will be some years be
fore another democrat sits in the sen
ate to represent a portion of any state
in this great stretch of country from
New I.runswick to the Mississippi
That party has itself alone to blame.
It has set itself against progress in
business and against honesty in our
currency, and those democrats who
hereaboutsdiscard the platform of their
party are insignificant in its councils,
helpless to steer their political craft
away from the political oblivion in
wjjich it soon will be submerged.—Al

The Marquette club of Chicago, at its

inence, among them being Whitelaw
Ifeid. peace commissioner and publish
er of the.New York Tribune, .vho spoke
upon "American Diplomacy" as fol

"Your tonst Is to the 'Achievements of
American Diplomacy.' Not such were its
achievements under your earlier state.'■men.
Not such has been its work under the in
structions of your state department from
John (julncy Adams on down the hon
ored line, and not such the work your rep
resentatives brought hack to you from
I'aris.
"They were dealing with a nation with
which it has never been easy to make
peace, even when war was no longer pos
sible, but they secured a peace treaty with
out a word that compromises the honor or
endangers tile interests of the country.
"They scrupulously reserved for their
own decision, through your congress or at
the polls, the question of political status
and civil rights for the Inhabitants of your
new possessions.
"They pledged the United States to ab
solute freedom in the exercise of their re
ligion for all these recent Spanish sub
jects— pagan, Mohammedan, Confucian or
Christian.
"They maintained, in' the face of the
most vehement opposition, not only of
Spain, but of well-nigh all Kurope, a prin
ciple vital to the oppressed people strug
gling for freedom—a principle without
which our own freedom could not have
been established, and without which any
successful revolt against any unjust rule
could be made practically Impossible. That
principle is that, contrary to the prevail
ing rule and practice in large transfers of
sovereignty, debts do not necessarily fol
low the territory if incurred by the mother
country distinctly in efforts to enslave it.
"They were enabled to pledge the most
protectionist country in the world to the
liberal and wise policy of the open door in
the east.
"At the same time they neither neglect
ed nor feared the duty of caring for the
material interests of their own country—
the duty of grasping the enormous possi
bilities upon which we had stumbled, for
sharing in the awakening and development
of the farther east. That way lies now the
best hope of American commerce. There
you may command a natural rather than
an artificial trade.
"The Atlantic ocean carries mainly a dif
ferent trade, with people as advanced as
ourselves, who could produce or procure
elsewhere much of what they buy of us,
while we could produce, if driven to it, most
of what we need to buy from them. The
ocean carriage for the Atlantic is in the
hands of our rivals.
"The Pacific ocean, on the contrary, is
in ourhandsnow. Practically we own more
than half the coast on this side, dominate
the rest, and have midway stations in the
Sandwich and Aleutian islands. To extend
now the authority of the United States over
the great Philippine archipelago is to fence
in the China sea and secure an almost
equally commanding position on the other
side of the Pacific— doubling our control of
it and of the fabulous trade the twen
tieth century will see it bear. Rightly used
enables the United States to convert
.he Pacific ocean almost into an American
lake.
"Are we to lose all this through a mushy
sentimentality, characteristic neither of
practical nor of responsible people—alike
un-American and un-Christian, since it
would humiliate us all by showing lack
of nerve to hold what we are entitled to,
and incriminate us by entailing endless
bloodshed and anarchy on a people whom
we have already stripped of the only gov
ernment they have known for 300 years,
and whom we should thus abandon to civil
war and foreign spoliation?
"Let us free our minds of some bugbears.
One of them is this notion that with the
retention of the Philippines our manufac
turers will be crushed by the products of
cheap eastern labor. I!ut it does not abol
ish our custom houses, and we can still
enforce whatever protection we desire.
"Another is that our American workmen
will be swamped under the immigration of
cheap eastern labor. But tropical labor
does not emigrate to colder climates. None
have ever come. if we need a law to
krep them out we can make It.
"It is a bugbear that the Filipinos would
be citizens of the United States, and would
therefore have the same rights of free
travel and free entry of their own manu
factures with other citizens. The treaty
ilid not make them citizens of the United
States at all; and th>-y never will be, un
less you neglect your congress. .
"it is a bugbear that anybody living on
territory or other property belonging to the
United States must be £ citizen. The con
stitution says that 'persons born or nat
uralized In the United States are eitizi ns
of the United States;' while it adds in the
same sentence, 'and of the state wherein
they reside,' showing plainly that the
provision does not necessarily relate to
territories.
"It is equally a bugbear that the tariff
must necessarily be the same over any of
the territory or other property of tho
United States as it is in the nation itself.
The constitution requires that 'all duties,
imposts and excises shall be the same
throughout the United States,' and while
there was an incidental expression from
the supreme bench in IS2O to the effect that
this should include the District of Colum
bia and other territory, it was no part even
then of the decision actually rendered, and
it would be absurd to stretch this mere
dic.tum of three-quarters of a century ago,
relating then at any rate to this continent
alone, to carry the Dingley tariff now
across to the antipodes."
The speaker referred to"the sincere
and conscientious opposition to all
these, conclusions manifest chiefly in
the east and in Mie senate." deprecated
any fear that the American people
would prove unequal to their new du
ties, and concluded:
"Now, if ever, is tne time to rally the
krain and conscience of the American peo
ple to a real elevation and purification of
their civil service, to the most exalted
standards of public duty, to the most stren
uous and united efforts of all men of good
will, to make our government worthy of
the new and great responsibilities which
the providence of Hod. rather than any pur
pose of man has imposed upon it."

Dear Sir: I like the country very
much so far; have seen a great num
ber of farmers* from the States and
every one seen so far says they have
done well and like it here far better
than where they came from, and all
claitn it to be the best country for a
poor man that they were ever in, and,
with good crops this, season, I predict
a great rush. There are some nice
claims to be had yet, but will not last
the summer through.
I do not find it any colder than in
lowa, and am feeling much better than
when I left there March Ist. I tfilnk
this a great country for those who are
suffering with throat and lung
troubles. I have seen men that had as
high as 51% bushels of wheat per acre,
and near 100 bushels of oats, but
they weigh from 45 to 51 pounds, per
bushel, but the general run is 25 to 50
wheat, JO to 75 oats, and stock looking
fine; some cattle running out ■were
nearly in market flesh.
I expect to return to the States late

when I want to go. Thanking you all
