an inexpensive present, a word cr
q smile Of appreciation, and by a
thousand and one little acts of def
erence and earnest sollcitude.
One can not avoid feeling Of ad-
miration for the women who offer
these tributes, stamped as they are
with originality, luminous with
glimpses Of the sweetest character,
and breathing the sacred perfume OF
the tenderest love and affection.
Ambition, and wealth, and station
earn no loving tributes. Husbands
are not praised because they throw
the luster of fame upon the heads OF
their wives, nor because they give
them station in society, or jewels
and carriages, but always because
they have the instincts of a gentle"
man implanted In their hearts.
Some of the wives speak out
frankly aud admit that their nus
bands often grow cantankerous ana
unreasonable, but even these dis
plays of weakness and momentary
forgetfulness of what is due from
husband TO his wife are not Mt all
likely to snuff out the tickle flame
of love where the husband is really
generous and loving by nature.
Many of the letters are frivolous
and nauseating; some of them are
the vaporing nonsense of honey
incoming brides; but the majority
are warm, hearty, loving tributes to
husbands who have been kind aud
loving to their wives. Many are
written with an earnestncss that
carries conviction. Taken alto
gether they will be the means of in
ducing many people who hitherto
have looked at life through the
smoked glasses of iconoclasm to take
a roster view of marriage. They
ought to be bound in book form,
and copy placed in the hands OF
every young mau of capacity and
ability to support wife who evlnces
the faintest disposition to shirk this
highest duty to society.

TIE MONEY CORNER.

The gold men have forced u corner
in the worlds supply of money.
They have brought about condition
of affairs wherein the people-the
men who toll aud they who conduct
the business of the world-have
promised to pay more than the re-
stricted money Of the world will
permit. That is all there Is to this
panic, and there lies the explanation
of these repeated commercial
crashes in time when the world
is ut peace, when production was
never greater, and when prosperity
ought to rule.
The holders of monetary obliga-
tions have forced the business world
to promise to pay more money than
can be paid. Very likely this will
soon dawn upon the minds of the
worlds Legislators, and possibly
upon the bond, mortgage and note
holders, who can not afford to kill
the bird that lays the golden egg.
Tho situation Is so simple that n
child ought to comprehend 1t. The
world has made gold the sole stand.
ard of all values. Why should we
wonder at panics and structures
when we consider that while the
actual wealth and business of the
world have increased to IL stupen-
dous degree, the supply of gold is
diminishing year by year.
Suppose by way Of illustration,
that a gives B his note for a
thousand bushels of wheat, and that
before that obligation ma,urcs b
and other holders of similar promises
to pay wheat go before the legisla-
ture and cause the passage of law
declaring that n bushel of wheat
shall contain 100 pounds instead of
sixty. Who is the sufferer? That
Is precisely what has been done
with the worlds money. Silver
has been discarded, gold is the ex-
elusive measure, and the world
stands pledged to perform an i'm
possibility. Every man who has
made such n promise to pay Is cast
ing about for the means Of payment.
There Is not enough gold to 90
around, and only the strongest can
afford to pay the artificial rate of
interest. The weak are going down.

TALE OF ADVENTURE.

A tale of the Northern seas as
wonderful as any of the Arabian
Nights entertainments has just
been told in San Fran cisco.
1t will be remembered that when
the whaler, Charles w. Morgan,
came into San Francisco at the close
of the last whaling season, her cap
tain reported having lost six OF the
men in heavy fog in the Okhotsk
sea, when the small boat in which
they were was made fast TO whale,
and that after lingering in the
vicinity for several days without
finding the lost men, the bark left
that neigh borhood and sailed north.
One day last week on the arrival
at San Francisco of the steamer
from China, four of the lost crew
walked ashore, to the surprise of
their former shipmates, who had
given them up for dead.
The story of their adventures Is
indeed strange. That six men
abandoned in the open Northern
seas, 100 miles from land, with but
nine pounds of bread and a small
keg of water in the way of provis-
ions, with fierce gale blowing aud
nothing but oars for propelling
power, should reach the home port
but few weeks after the arrival of
the vessel from which they were
lost Is wonderful,
OF the five days spent at sea in the
open boat, of the Russian island
they reached, only to be driven
away by the natives, of their trip
down the Siberian coast until
friendly port was reached, and of
their subsequent voyage to Hong
Kong and thence home, they speak
but briefly, taking 1t all as an in

THE JEWS OF Il RUSSIA.

The REVIEWS telegrnphic dis
patches recently stated that "a
meeting of influential citizens was
held at the Mansion house in Lon
don to consider the condition of the
Jews of Russia. The lord mayor
presided"
The marvellous history of the
Jews, comprising unique and start
ling situations, constitutes the most
thrilling tragedy Of the ages. De.
spised and prosecuted by all the
earth, from time TO time, they have
maintained their solidarity through
all the changes of fortune and the
vicissitudes of time. Scattered over
the earth, yet the bond of their
unity has never been broken. En-
gaging in the most prosaic occupa-
tions, they seem ever surrounded by
the golden mist of legend and ro-
nance.
After fifty centuries of strangely
mingled prosperity and adversely,
they stand to-day the most peculiar
people on earth, in full possession of
all those remarkable characteristics
that enabled them to defy the
Pharaohs, and with the sword of
Gideon TO smite the Midianite. The
most powerful races and nations
have failed either TO assimilate or
absorb them, and the most bitter
and cruel prosecutions, SO far from
externinating them, have but
served to confirm them in the COM
mon cause of Jewish solidarity. The
Jew possesses profound and intense
feeling. Scott's mastery pen has
given us Isaac of York in Ivanhoe,
who defied the tortures as he
thought of Rebecca. How intense
the charity Of Nathan in Lessing's
story! What power and devotion
in Mordecai, rs in every change of
fortune the struggling soul of Daniel
Deronda receives new inspiration!
The long continued oppression of
the Jews in Russia is one of the
causes lying at the root of
the present critical condition of
Russian commerce. The Russian
atrocities visited upon this helpless
people, whose very weakness should
have been the pledge Of their protec-
lion, constitute the foulest insult to
Christian civilization.

Of Russian persecution, the English !
and the Americans have from time |

Large sums of money have been

FREE COINAGE

This is opening up complicated
question with few words. Volumes
have been written upon both sides
of the controversy. The effect of

A RAILROAD COMMISSION

In another column of this paper a
Waterville correspondent questions
the constitutional power of the leg
islature to create n railroad commits
sion and endow it with judicial
powers to fix reasonable rates OF
freights and fares. Mr.. +. III. Win
ston, United States district attor-
ney, has also brought forward the
same question.
The point hinges entirely upon
the construction that the courts
would place upon the language of
the constitution. In order that the
reader may have a clear idea of this
question we herewith reprint the
provision relating to this subject,
section Is, article IL:
The legislature shall pass laws estab b.
fishing reasonable maximum rates of
charges for the transportation OF pas
sehgers and freight and to correct
abuses and prevent discrimination and
extorti0n in the rates of freight and
passenger tariff on the different rail-
roads and other common carriers in the
state, and shall enforce such laws by
adequate penalties. A railroad and
transportation commission NAV be es-
tablished and its powers and duties fully
defined by law.
Here Is question that perhaps
the courts alone can determine. 1t
is claimed by many attorneys that
the legislature has ample power,
under the constitution, to dele
gate such functions to a commits.

be created.
The REVIEW is of the opinion
that a commission equipped with
full judicial functions would have
the power to establish rates, and IL

Brevet Democrats.

Every day verifies the truth of the
assertion made at the outset of the
independent movement that it was in
the interest of the democratic party.
1t ls not believed that the majority
of the supporters of the new party an
intended 1t to be. But it has been so
worked and twisted by democratic
schemers, that, in many places, the
independent party is only sort of
brevet democratic party. 1t is how
ever, to the honor of the new party
that 1t has not gone over in q BODY IN
any county to the democracy. The
members have been trained in the
republican party to have some regard
for principle and it is to their credit
that they have, as rule, refused to
give up all principle, and have not
submitted to be swallowed up bodily
by democratic organization. But
while in this attitude the willy demo.
cratic chiefs have jumped aboard the
independent wagon, slyly taken the
reins and are taxing the load into
their barn. They make it practically
democratic team. In some places
In order to better carry out their pur-
poses in strong republican counties
like Day and Grant counties, the
crafty democratic wire pullers have
managed to organize so called indie
pendent ticket, with all the best offices
distributed to democrats, thus hoping
to seduce enough honest-hearted and
dissatisfied republicans into the
scheme to elect few democrats.
This Is the little democratic game all
over the state, so that it may be said
with truth, that nine times out of ten,
IL Is the democratic party which is
benefited. Itseems very strange that
honest men of principle who are sin
cerely for reform, cannot see how they
are made use of by political tricksters
and selfish demagogues. In proof
that such is the character of the men
engineering the numerous IDEALS"
mentioned, 1t is only necessary to
notice that democrats of high charac-
ter and principles refuse to have any
thing to do with the corrupt dicker.
They stand afoof. 1t is the democrat
"for revenue" the man of no prlnci-
pie, for pelf, who is active. Republican
independents should scan this matter
and refuse to be made an assistant
democrat. When the election is over
every democrat elected will be pro-
claimed a democratic victory" and
republicans who have been weak
enough to be duped will be laughed at
tor their simplicity.-Aberdeen Daily
News.

For the reasons: That when man
becomes a naturalized citizen of this
country his rights become equal to
that Of one born i'll America. When
we fail to recognize that right We be.
gin to undermine the very foundation
stone OF our government. You have
said that call men are created free
and equal" You Give the foreigner,
under certain restrictions, the right to
vote bat while in the exercise OF his
entrapchisment you say he Is not an
American and can not hold Office He
is given the blessed privilege OF voting
to put an American into office but is
deprived of right that recognizes
him as citizen. Is there
consistency In this? We pride our
selves upon being an intelligent people
then are We to say that all natural
lied citizens" are either fools or
knaves and that they shall not be
given an opportunity to participate
in that freedom OF citizenship which
We nave guaranteed to them? This
applies to the Irish, the Germans aud
all the other nationalitles as we'll as
the ScaudinavIans. Those termed
foreigners" have been very modest in
their demands. 1t is especially SO with
the scandinavian people. That they
are now coming forward and demand =
ing recognition is nothing to their dis
credit. They are American citizens
There are five Scandinavians upon the
Republican ticket out of sixteen
names. They represent about two
fitths of the total vote in Brookings
county, Will any one say that this
is unfair representation? We think
not. We must not let our prejudice
warp our good judgment. Let us be
fair minded, considerate and what we
claim for ourselves 'good citizens and
