Scarcely a week passes without the
papers recording some new farmers or
ganization. AS sign of healthful un-
rest and as an evidence that Se farm
ers are thinking, this is gratifying. But
where is the utility in this multitude of
organizations? The interests of the
farmers everywhere are identical, at
least upon the questions with which
the organizations purpose dealing.
Why, then, is it necessary to organize
numerous organizations? True, Sin

Social problems are assuming giant
proportions. The relations existing be-
tween capital and labor are daily grow
ing more strained. The stream Of
misery grows broader as colossal for
tunes rise skyward. The poverty in all
our great centers of civilization, as well
as throughout the landlord and mort
gaged-cursed frontiers, is. year by year,
growing more terrible and more gener-
al. There have been 1850 foreclosures
of farm mortgages in Kansas during
the past six months. In the city of
New York there are over $50, 900 people
who earn less than 60 cents a day.
Thousands of this number are poor
girls who work from eleven to sixteen
hours day. Last year there were over
$4,000 families forcibly evicted in that
city, owing to their inability to pay
rent. One person in every ten who died
in New York in 1889 was buried in the
potter's field. These are facts which
may well give rise to anxious thoughts.

also upon the volume or amount of ex-
changable products seeking market.
But "brevity is the soul of w.t." SO
quoting few authorities, / will dcsist.
Cernuschi says:
'The purchasing power of money is
in direct proportion to the volume of
money existing"
Prof. Francis A. Walker, in his work
on Money" (page 81, says:
''The value of money in any country
is determined by the amount existing"
"Its [money's] power of acquisition
depends not on Its substance, but on its
quantity" - Paulus, author of the
Pandects, sixth century.
Professor De Colange, in the Ameri-
can Cyclcp@dia of Commerce, article on
"Money," says:
''The rate at which money exchanges
for other things is determined by its
quantity. n Supposing the amount
of trade and mode of circulation to re-
main stationary, if the quantity of
money be increased, its value will fall,
and the price of other commodities will
proportionately rise, as the latter will
then exchange against a greater amount
of money. If, on the other hand, the
quantity of money be reduced, its value
will be raised, and prices in corre-
spending degree diminished, as commo-
dities will then have to be exchanged
for less amount of money. i n
In whatever degree, therefore, the
quantity of money is increased or di-
miuished, other things remaining the
same, in the same proportion the value
of the whole and of every part is recip-
rocally diminished or increased"
William Huskisson (The "Deprecia-
ton of the Currency" 1919, says:
"If the quantity of gold in a country
whose currency consists of gold should
be increased in any given proportion,
bhe quantity of other articles and the
dema2d for them remaining the same,
the valus of any given commodity
measured in the coin of that country
would be increased in the same proper
tion."
Labor scrip is the only money that
possesses an undertaking and unchang-
able value. Make legal days labor
six hours-call what you now call DOL
lar two hours scrip; then increase the
number of units to SO or 1915 days labor
per capita; and presto-there you have
it.-George c. Ward, in Living Issues.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS


JACKSON, March 14.-The Chancery
Court was engaged all day in hearing
arguments in the case of ex-Treasurer
Hemingway. The suit OF the State,
seeking to mako the bond prior to 1886
liable for part of the defalcation, was
postponed till next term, as the deposit
tions of all witnesses could not be com.
pleved for this term. The States case,
seeking to havo' the trust deed made by
Col. Hemingway, conveying all his
property to a trustee for the benefit OF
his sureties set aside and declared
illegal, was agued at length. The
court decided that the conveyance was
legal. which is a victory for the sureties
and against the State. The State will
appeal. The property involved amounts
to about S50,000, and is now In the
possession of the sureties. The trustee
said this afternoon that If allowed to
remain intact and properly managed in
five years he believed it could be made
to pay the full amount of the bond of
$4,000.
JACKSON, March 2O.-Through the
District Attorney the sureties on ex-
State Treasurer Hemingway's bond to-
day deposited S36,250 in bank here,
being nearly half the penalty of the
bond. The ChanceryCourtg granted them
a stay of proceedings on $4,000 Of the
bond in order to enable them to realize on
the property turned over by the ex-State
Treasurer.

Decline of Literary Receptions.

The past winter has practically set tied one thing in New York-that the literary reception has had its day. Two years ago evenings" were held by all the we'll known literary people, but the practice was abused, and the following year saw the beginning of the end. This past season but few literary ''at homes" have been given. and these lacked their former interest so much so that next winter will see still smaller number. One cause of the eunpopularity into which the literary reception in New York has fallen was its shameful abuse. A liter ary woman would begin her season with a'small coterie of her select friends, and so long as those same congenial spirits came together all went delightfully."- well.
 But one friend brought another. and after two or three weeks he would in turn bring third. until ut the close of the season the hostess would find her rooms Overrun with lot of minor liter ary lights whom she scarcely knew. and the spell was broken. Then the deaths of Miss Booth. Oliver Bell Bunce. the removal of Marion narlanl made Il diff ference. anl so for more than one reason the practice has died out, Perhaps the change will be for the better. since privi- legged friends will be more certain of agreeable companionships upon special evenings when the hostess signifies her intention to be at home for these, and these alone. Edward w. Boks Letter.

AnIIxtraortllnary Adyertl.emont.


 A few days since man entered a lawyers office where happened to be for moment, looked around in rather q cautious and theatrical fashion and slow ly opened large leather valise which he carried.in one hand. From this he ex: tracted small parcel done up in brown paper and. laying it on convenient desk, said softly to the clerk, "That's for the boss" Then he tiptoed out of the office. The parcel was at once taken to the lawyer. who tore off the wrappings and discovered n small china breakfast plate. upon which lay what looked ex. actly like fried egg. The egg was squashed up little bit on the plate ap- parently and it was movable. The plate was bona fide. but the alleged egg was made of papier nache. We all looked at it carefully. and after Q little prying about it was found that the yolk of the egg could be lifted.
 Under it lay what was apparently a peanut. This was opened, and within it there was found small sheet of white tissue paper upon which few letters were faintly visible. The lawyer went to the window. with everybody follow ing at his heels. examined the paper closely, and discovered upon it an ad- vertisement of q hair restorer and n pre- ventive of badness. Then he threw the whole outfit into the corner with a growl and went back to his desk. It struck me as being about the most complete ad- vertisement that have seen of late. It is an illustration of the extraordinary length to which advertisers go in their efforts to reach the public. .Blakely Hall in Brooklyn Eagle.

suppiyin: Moving Engines with Water
 By new invention which Is being triel on some of the southern railroads it is thought possible that engines can be supplied with water when necessary without stopping. The system is ex- plaine1 as follows: There is to be a tower over each we'll or stream that IS to supply water. about fcrty feet high, and from this tower is suspended by n wire cable tank or bucket holding about 2.50) gallons of water. The same is raised by passing locomotives. and the water discharged automatically into a storage tank. The bucket that con. veys the water to the storage tank, when emptied. goes back automatically into the well or stream of supply. and is filled
 ready for the next locomotive. This saves the expense of u stationary engine and fuel. with engine and such expense as attends the present system. and gives equal guarantee of reliable supply New York Telegram.

Mi,iionnires and Subscription Li sts.

Millionaires and Subscription li sts.
 "Millionaires are as plenty as black berries in this town" said a gentleman who has been active in pushing the sub scription for the statue to General Grant. "You just let the right set of men take hold of Il subscription list for any worthy purpose and see how rapidly it swells. Look at the Sherman statue fund. lt will be completed in a few days. and we could have passed the S5O.0OO mark sev. eral days ago if We had not limited the highest subscription to*l 900. The prln- cipal drawback about going to an Ordi' nary millionaire with subscription list is his sensitiveneSs, about making hia name too conspicuous m the list.
 For instance. a man worth $2.OOO.OGl or S:).OO0. .0OO will run his eye over the list. and if he sees the names of Wander bilt. Rockefeller or Huntington Ee will say. Well. of course it won't look well for me to give as much as those men. People will think that an trying to at tract attention to myself. Now. if that man had been asked to start the suoscrip ton he probably would have put his name down for $i.00O. When he saw that Vanderbilt had given that sum he immediately subscribed for $2iD. with the assurance. however. If you need any more come and see me. -New York Times
