western SportSmen are considering
plan for introducing the kangaroo in
this country. These animals have al
ready been successfully acclimated in
France and England, and there seems
to be no reason why they should not be
In this country. AS a further argu-
ment in favor of their plan the sports
men lay stress on the commercial value
OF the kangaroo skin which make dur
able and valuable leather. Provided
the scheme is acceptable, several of the
animals will be placed in the Yellow
stone Park, where they will be protected
by the Government until they have be.

Miss Mary A. Corcoran. Of Ansonia,
Conn.,, carried in bundle of sticks Of
wood for her fire early one morning and
put them in box behind the stove.
When she went to replenish the fire she
picked up half dozen sticks and after
putting three on the fire heard loud
sissing sound in the stove. Just then
the head of large striped adder lifted
itself from the hole in the stove and
tried to strike her. The other two sticks
held the snake in such position thatit
did not succeed Her screams brought
her father, who killed the adder with
the poker. It measured over two feet
1t is suppose Miss Corcoran picked it up
while it was glutted with food and in Q
lethargic state and the heat of the fire
forced itinto activity.

sons who declared that they had seen o
wild woman in the east part of town.
One said he saw her trying to milk
COW, q second that she was in another
pasture picking berries, third that she
was walking through some bushes near
the road. and when she saw that she
was observed beat a hasty retreat Some
said she was dressed in light clothes,
others that her clothes were dark and
she had on white apron. A searching
party was made up and armed with
handouts, etc. but the excitement
quietly subsidized when, after following
the trail some distance, it suddenly
ended at red and white COW, peacefully

harmless When interest is abolished
the money power is dethroned. We
must reach that point on>our way before
the money problem is solved. The light
/ Of the new era is just dawning upon the
people. and they are catching the first
Rlimpses OF its coming.
Give to the people plenty of money
all they need: give it to them at such
rates as they can afford to pay. Surely
we have property enough to secure all
the money we need. The farms and
city lots OF this country are worth at
least S25. 900, 600. 600 and we have onlv
obont $500 600, 600 in actual circulation
among the people. Do away with the
interest function of money and by that
act alone we increase the security
value of property in like proportion.
II farm is good security for loan
OF SIC. 600 at ten per cent interest, 1t
would be equally good for . loan Of $11,-
600 with interest 1T one per cent or
without interest The key to the situ-
alton lies in this matter of interest.
Abolish interest and the system is re-
versed. As long as interest laws remain
the tendency will be toward the accu-
mulstion Of money because of its inter
est bearing function. and that rebs the
producer; but take away the interest
bearing function and the tendency will
be toward diffusion of money among the
people. assisting all the prod
forces Of the country to make labor
profitable. If man has money and can
not lend 1t at interest, he will put it to
work in some useful way in connection
with human labor and the use of ma
chinery in order to make it productive.
Then the comparison between bonds
and land would not apply

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
oonservative Republlcans.

Baltimore Sun
The splendid triumph Of common sense
ideas In Tuesdays election is due, not
only to the enthusiasm OF the Democracy
throughout the country. but to the con-
servalsm Of thinking Republicans, who
stayed away from the polls rather than
lend their support to candidates and
party measures they conld not approve
or course the result could not have been
achieved had not the Democrats been
united, earnest and aggressive, but on
the other hani, no such sweeping
victory would have been secured
but for the negative course of great
army of Independent Republicans The
outcome is full of significance and in
struction. 1t ought TO convince the most
hide bound advocate of machine methods
in politics that al the articles on which
the political manipulation Is won't TO place
reliance, amount to PothiHg when the
people are thoroughly reused, and that
corruption and trickery are unavailing
to stem the tide of popular indignation
when it once sets in in earnest Politicians
too often make the mistake of underrat-
ing the intelligence and patriotism of the
people, and 1t sometimes happens that, as
tine Republican leaders have done, they
reap the bitter fruits of their misplaced
confidence in their own resources. Tues.
days election results ought to be most
gratifying TO every goo1 citizen, Repub-
lican as well as Democrat, for they dem
onstrate most signally at a time when
such demonstration was sorely needed,
that there is reserve of conservatism
and COED sense ia the people as a whele
which may be trusted to undo the work
OF reckless psrtisans, and to chastise
them roughly for their presumption.
The Republicans who stayed at home on
| Tuesday have every reason to be proud OF
their conduct They showed not that
they loved their party less but their
co1ntrp more, and that they valued the
| good of the people, the preservation OF
American institutions in their integrity
and the substitution OF sound economic
methods for a policy of favoritism tc
psmpered monopolists, above the com
paratively petty interests Of their party
organization.

the period Is prurient story Of vulgar
religious frenzy. seeking to justify
uxoricide and recommending celibacy.
Among intelligent and good people
these questions have been regarded al
settled for centuries throughout Christen
dom. But the popularity Of these book
and the greed with which their traves-
ties on ethical, moral and religious dis.

makes one revert to Carlyle's bitter criti

century have scarcely begun to emerg
