HARD TO COUNTERFEIT.

The Paper Money of Europe-Why It
Bothers the Counterfeiters.
1.-THE paper money in the Uni ed
States is the least handsome in the
world" says the proprietor of money
eminent depends entirely upon the
intricacy and elaborateness for pro-
lection against counterfeiters. In
foreign countries, on the other hand,
much effort is directed to making their
currency beautiful with pictures and
arabesques in the classical style. Not
only are the results pretty to look at,
but they serve their chief purpose bet
ter, for any engraver will tell you that
real art work on bill is far more diff
ficult to initiate than any purely
mechanical effect, no matter how COM
plicated the latter may be may be made

vices.
''Most beautiful of all paper notes

with the design mainly compc sed of
two large standing figures of cherubic
children and an oval of children's heads.
That seems queer notion from our
point of view for the ornamentation of
currency, but it is certainly both inter-

Alien Land Ownership.

A great many newspapers are howl
ing about alien land ownership. This
is no greater n damage to the people
than the ownership of large bodies of
land by Americans. 1t makes no differ
ence whether monopilizers of land are
of home or foreign birth, the result is
just the same: the producing people
have to share the fruits of their toll
with them without receiving anything
of value in exchange. There is a great
deal of buncombe in the cry against
land ownership. 1t is the cry mostly of
demagogues, who imagine thing done
by a foreigner is great wrong, while
the same thing performed by an Amer
lean is n virtue.--Portland (Ore.) East

THE RESTORATION ERA
Was the Time When Men Were Adorned
with Lace.

| Was the Time When Men Were Adorned
| with Lace.
The restoration era being essentially
the age of the dangling knee fringe
and the bib cravat," it was only natural
| that the stiff band and the falling col
| lar, which had been worn under the
| tyranny of Puritan ascendancy, should
| have given place to neckcloths or era
watts of Brussels or Flanders lace tied
| with ribbons beneath the chin, and
| with the ends hanging down square.
In this age of Puritan sobriety
in dress, it is difficult to comprehend
the mania which seized the breasts of
the gentlemen of the Caroline age for
lace. We find Pepys in 1862 putting on
his ''new lace band and recording in
his diary his complete satisfaction
with his appearance in it. $50 neat it
is wrote he, ''that l am resolved my
great expenses shall be lace bands. and
it will set off anything else the more!'
Charles ii. in the last year of his reign
actually expended geo les for new
cravat to be ''worn on the birthday of
his dear BROTHER and James ii. ex-
pended almost as much as ESQ upon a
cravat of Venice point lace in which to
appear on the anniversary of the birth
day of his consort
King William I'LL, notwithstanding
his iron phlegmatic constitution, en-
tertained a genuine Dutch taste for
lace, so much so, indeed. that his bills
for that article in 1895 amounted to the
modest sum of 81, 495 los, a fad which
would have served admirably to point
the moral of the political reformer or
to adorn the tale of the mob dema-
gogue, had such people then existed.
Among the more astounding items of
this bill appears the following: lone
hundred and seventeen yards of
'scissae temR.' cut work for trimming
IL pocket handkerchiefs, e4S5 las Sd.
And IS yards for "a cravats, at eS los,
1868" The expenditure for six new lace
razor cloths amounted to G27O, and on
twenty-four new indusiis noe TURNS, in
plain English, night shirts, the sum Of
SAG los was bestowed
King Williams consort, the hand
some Mary of Modena, approached,
but did not quite reach her husband. in
lace expenditure, seeing that in 1904
her lace bill attained the respectable
total of e1,91S. 1t will not surprise
anyone to learn that lace had one of
its sunniest epochs in the eyes of all
from the restoration to the revolution.
From the king to the plebeian all re-
tanned a deep seated affection for it.
These were the days when all young
military men wore lace. and prepared
their cravats with far greater pains
than the three graces ofclassical antiq-
uity ever bestowed upon the goddess

No Division in tho south.

The indications continue to be more
and more conclusive that the differ
ences among the democrats OF the
south will not be carried into the ma
tional contest. For this result. which
is not hatte-ing to the hopes OF the re-
publican leaders, they have only them
selves to thank. They have done all
that they could to convince the voters
of the south that republican triumph
would be followed by the passage of a
federal elections bill. This has been
their only hope of firing the northern
heart, grown sadly cold toward the
authors of the Mckinley tariff scheme.
We do not know that they could have
avoided the policy they have chosen to
adopt. But it is pretty plain now that
they will lose all the chance they had of
creating division in the south, and
that the temperature of the northern
heart has not been, and will not be.
raised enough to do them any good--

For Supervisor Charles N. Race.

Mr.. EDITOR:-I am not ole who believes
that because man is my political opponent
and because his friends have made him
the nominee for an office, or any one else
am licensed to say all manner of falsehoods
of him with view of injuring him i'm his
election or to gain votes for myself or my
party. If there is any business in the
world that demands the principle of honor
more than another it is in the management
of our government, and the exercise of the
elective franchise. And all voters should be
honestly educated and not deceived. Charles
n. Race is the nominee ON the republican
ticket for supervisor in the second district
of our city, and having heard certain reports
that he is an unfit and incompetent man,
and much said that was derogatory to him as
candidate for the position, have tried to
inform myself in regard to the facts, and in
justice to Mr.. Race and his friends would
say believe him to be worthy, competent
man in every way, fully qualified for the
position, and man who is entitled to the
full vote of his party, at least as much so as
any man i'm our midst. He is property
owner in our district and owns a farm a
short distance out of the city, and his inter-
ests are, in every way, identical with every
other citizen of the district and city. The
fact that he has not been resident of the
district as long as some of us is no reason
for suspectng his ability. n. c. PAYNE.

Democratic County Convention.

The Shiawassee county democrats were
in session in Owosso, Thursday Mar. 81,
Jerome w. Turner as chairman and III. X.
White acting as secretary. Mr.. Turner
spoke of the platform of the democratic
party as being that of the four gospels, and
said with respect to the government that it
should be fiial rather than paternal. The
report of the committee on credentials
showed that there were present, delegates
from eleven towns and two Cities Antrim,
HaZeltOn, Perry, Fairfield and Bennington
not being represented. A. Lee Williams
was elected chairman of the county COM
mittee. The following delegates were
elected to the Muskegon convention: J. w.
Turner, chairman. f. p. Byerly, w. A.
Woodland, G. S. Williams, w. Ii. Mumby,
w. F. Close, Greenleaf Marsh, e. II. Frain,
II. johnson, w. II. Putnam, Pat Riley,
and Martin VanBuren Wixom. A resolu-
ton was introduced that the delegates
were to vote for delegates to the Chicago
convention who would vote first last and
all the while for Cleveland for President. A
strange case in the convention was the defeat
of Sam Schmid who was nominated as a
delegate to the convention. Mr.. Schmid
carries the OwOsso township democracy in
his breast pocket and his defeat was un-
expected; when the vote was announced
with Schmid defeated he left the conven-
ton.
