ROT OR REASON?
Chicago Firm to Ask the Listing
of Gold Billion.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-"Our house will
apply to the New Y ork exchange listing
committee to list gold bullion,' SAID
Francis j. Kenneth last night. st was
through the efforts largely of Kennatt,
Hopkins & Co. that silver bullion was
listed. When we first proposed it the
idea was pOOh-pOohed and was opposed
for year. Silver bullion, however, was
listed, and has been specialized in ever
since, sometimes on very large scale"
What would be the effect of the list
ing OF gold bullion by the New York
stock exchange?" Il think that gold
would sell at premium the instant it
was listed on the New York exchange"
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The PROPOSE
ton reported from Chicago today to
have gold bullion listed on the New
York stock exchange was stated to Of
ficials in the treasury department, and
the first comment on it was rot" In
the office of the director of the mint,
Mr.. Leech himself being absent. it was
pronounced to be absurd-an ounce of
gold will always be worth an ounce of
gold, and under the present laws will
coin S20.67.
Suppose the free coinage bill should
become law?'' ''In that case it might,
as Mr.. Kenneth says, command pre-
MUM, but it would be in silver-in
other words, the premium would be in
silver" Silver today, it is stated, was
worth 46B pence an ounce in London,
90.40 cents In the United States.

TO THE FINISH.
A Desperate Encounter Between
Two beers.

The gentlemen comprising the sur

Valley company up MilIard's canon re-
Gently beheld a sight which is seldom
witnessed, says the Great Divide. The
story is related by Messrs. Pollock and
Ross, transit men of the party.
The men were working up the canon
when they heard a peculiar crashing
noise. Looking up. they saw on the
cliffs, high above the stream, and about
a quarter of mile from them, two
noble bucks, standing with heads low
cred about ten feet from each other.
Thus they stood cycling each other and
paving the dirt for fully a minute.
Then they made simultaneous spring,
and came together like falling tree.
So violent was the conclusion that the
ANIMALS were thrown back until dis
lance of ten or fifteen feet again inter-
vened between them. The men fas-
cinated With the sight, watched the
deer go through the same performance
again and again.
Finally, after a more than usually
violent rush, the bucks did not separate,
but struggled as if apparently trying to
push each other back. 1t soon became
plain to the men, however, that instead
of pushing they were pulling away
from each other. In other words, their
horns had become locked, and from
raging combatants the bucks be-
came frightened animals, and
were only bent on securing
divorce. Messrs. Ross, Pollock and
party then conceived the idea of
taking advantage of the helpless condi-
ton OF the bucks and capturing them.
They made grand rush for the scene,
but before they reached it the deer in
their struggles approached too near the
edge or the cliff, and both of them fell
to their death in the pool below. When
were found locked in each others horns

medicine, not for the purpose Of general

Archbishop Ireland Expected to
Get Him a Hearing.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, Feb. 13.-Dr.
Edward McGlynn, in an interview this
afternoon, said: "When l was ordered
to go TO Rome some years ago, the order
was coupled with an order to make a
written retraction of the political and
economic doctrines which 1 had
preached. In word, my case had been
prejudiced. The United States is a
missionary country, and, therefore, con-
trolled by the propaganda. Cardinal
Simoni, the perfect of the propaganda,
was prejudiced against me. He died a
few weeks ago, Cardinal Ledochowski
was appointed in his place. Archbishop
Ireland, of St.Paul, reached Rome some
days ago, and l expect soon to be in

every reason to hope that [ Will be re-
stored to the ministry without retract-
ing the political and economic trnths

No. 2 spring wheat for May delivery
in Chicago closed at 914 cents per
bushel yesterday, one quarter of cent
per bushel lower than one week previ-
GUS. Under the depressing influence of
the Washburn option bill. the prices
had dropped to IS cents per bushel on
Wednesday, but it seems as though the
effect of this adverse legislation has
been largely discounted, and the prin-
cipal bear influences in the situation are
the heavy stocks that have accumulated
both in this country and in Europe.
Whether they are sufficient to force
values below the 90-cent limit is the
question buyers have to contend with.
The sooner the Washburn bills are de-
clded, either one way or the other, the
better it will be for the country, for as
long as the option questions are unset
tied operators feel timid about buying
or selling wheat in large blocks.
At the mercantile agency of RIG. Dun
& Co. strong confidence in the business
outlook of the Northwest is manifest. OF
course, this should naturally be quiet
season, but the prospects are so bright
that boot and shoe manufacturers like
c. GOtZian & Co., and manufacturers of
saddlery such as Rossum Il Scheffer re-
port business better than usual for this
season of the year and large increase
as compared with this time last year.
Spring orders are more numerous in
these lines, as well as in dry goods and
other wholesale business. r. q. Dun Il
Co. also report money easy for legiti-
mate demands. and collections very
fair. Real estate is selling more freely,
both farms and city properties, and re-
tail trade is showing sure, though
slow, improvement.
Herman Scheffer, cashier of the Com
mercial bank, reports favorably OH the
general trade situation, and says 1t is
on safe basis, with the prospects for
the year very 1attering. This view Is
so generally expressed by the business
men IN all lines that there seems TO be
no question concerning its correctness.
The revival Of interest IL real estate is
one of the most gratifying features.

Well-to-do farmer. Il need some change

The farmer didn't more than look up
when he shook his head and said he was
short of change.
'.All rig ht," chirruped the young one,
and passed on to man who was unmis-
takaoly city broker.
Can you give me S45 in change for
TINS S5O?' he asked, sticking the bill out
at him.
The broker glanced at him a minute.
and was sorry he couldn't accommodate
him.
He smiled pleasantly. and went on to
a smart young drummer, from New
York apparently.
IF you've got $40 in change and will
let me have 1t for this $50 it's yours,' he
said, laying it down before the drum
mer.

smiled and went on to the next man. to

the next at $50, and the next at S25. in

offer to anybody in the car to sell that

then he dropped to $40, but still no

HE ENJOYED THE DANCE.
Not an Invited Guest, but He
Acted as One.

The young man was leaning against
the wall watching the dancers with
some interest. He didn't look exactly
like man of great prominence, says
the Chicago Tribune. In fact, probably
no one in the hall had ever seen him
before, but that didn't seem to trouble
them, and he certainly didn't care.
To his right was prominent citizen,
also interested in the dance, and to his
left was floor manager. The latter
saw the prominent citizen and bowed.
The young man saw him bow and SAID
to himself:
George! but they sort of look out for
a stranger here. It's quite novelty. =
"How are you enjoying yourself?
asked the floor manager.
"First-rate. first-rate," returned the
young man; ''never better"
"Sir!" exclaimed the floor manager,
haughtily.
"Out of sight," SAID the young man.
ppm enjoying all right"
Il wasn't speaking to you, sir" said
the floor manager.
''Never mind, never mind" returned
the young man with gracious wave of
his hand. I'm enjoying myself just as
much"
The prominent citizen laughed and
moved away, and the floor manager
tried to find some excuse for having the
young man put out of the hail.

in the Seventh congressional district is
likely to prove disastrous to that party
II the present dissensiOnS continue.
Ever since the election of 1890 the lead
ers have been at work setting
up things for the congressional
nomination, and the result is
that it will be almost a miracle
II nomination is made that will COM
mand the undivided support of the
farmers of the district. OF late there
have been reports to the effect that the
Sage of Nininger is taking a hand in
the fight, and will seek to effect the
nomination of H. E. Boon, the present
register of deeds of Otter Tail county.
Mr. Boen was formerly staunch friend
OF Senator Hompe, and year ago
fought Mr.. Donnelly as hard as
he could. At the annual meet
ing held in Minneapolis a month
ago, however, MIR. Boon changed front
and again joined the cohorts of the
Dakota county man. For this the Sage
forgave him all his sins and will reward
him by the congressional nomination.
Otter Tail is Il large county and has
many Alliance men within her borders,
but Polk is larger and has more Alli-
ance votes and in case Andrew Steener-
son should make up his mind to be a

The Nelson boomers throughout the
state are not making a great deal of
noise at present, and a wager was re-
Gently made by two well known Repub-
licans tn at he would not be nominated.
There is a great deal of feeling among
many of the leaders over his course ii
both 1856 and 1888, and if be does get
the nomination he will lose a great
many votes. If nominated, it will be on
the ground that he can win back the
farmers to the Republicans, and yet it
is reported that he will appoint Rail-
road Commissioner Liggett in case of
his election. 1t will be interesting to
see how the farmers will receive his
nomination with this understanding.
In the coming state campaign the
Democrats will take strong ground
against the present railroad and ele-
Vator combine, and the farmers will be

which one man in Minneapolis tells all

Against the Kent Bill.

The people OF this county in mass-meet-
ing assembled have called upon their rep
resentatiyes to vote against the Kent Rail
road Bill The resolutions which appear
in another column were enthusiastically,
adopted at Wise G. II. on the 20th OF
January, and contain positive instructions
to our representatives to oppose the pas
sage Of this measure which is calculated
to DO so much injury to Wise county.
The people of Wise county are not OPP
posed to proper railroad legislation. The
meeting Oh the 2Sth ultimo was in the in
terest of no railroad corporation TWAS
voluntary meeting of the solid, substan-
tial citizens Of the county to express their
condemnation Of Il measure which they
considered would be detrimental to the
hest interest Of the State Resolutions
passed in such meeting are entitled to
the careful consideration Of the represen-
tativcs Of the county, and representative
should be very careful how he flies in the
teeth of such Instructions. The people have
Alright to meet together and tell their rep
resentatives what they want, and it is the
bounden duty Of the representatives to
heed these Instructions or returR the trust
which is in their hands. In this meet
ing in which the people expressed their
nncompromising opposition to the Kent
Bill, they recognized the tact that there
are many grievances against the railroads
that should be corrected, and passed res
olutions looking to the rcdrcssion of some
Of these grievances.
You, gentleman, who represent Wise
in the general assembly of Virginia, are
invited to carefully consider the resolu-
ticns which appear in another column

Wise and the WORLDS Fair.

Public interest is being aroused in Wise
county concerning the Worlds Fair, and
leading citizens from all parts of the
county say Wise must make an et1ortt to
be among the foremost counties ofPirgin-
ia in providing fora display of her natur-
al resources 1T the Chicago exposition.
The Board Of Supervisors should make
liberal appropriation, and this should he
supplemented by contributions from Big
Stone Gap, Norton, Tacoma, and other
towns in the county. Then too the large
land companies THAI own property in Wise
could doubtless be prevailed upon to con-
tribute their quota towards making the
exhibit of this comfy, one that will be
credit to the county, that is the richest in
Virginia in natural resources. large
SUN could also be raised by private sub
scrintion Almost every wide-awake man
Interested in the development ofthc conn
~ would be willing to give something to-
wards this end. The aggregate amount
obtained from all these sources would
make haMdsome sum, and enable us to
show to the world how great is our wealth.
In order to make display that all will,
he proud OF, and one that will properly
advertise what we have, there must lyE Il
concentration Of effort and oneness of
purpose. Big Stone Gap, should not at
tempt to get up an exhibit separate from
Norton. nor should Merton attempt any
thing apart from the rest OF the county.
Let us all unite in one strong effort to
make Il display at Chicago second TO no
county in Virginia. 70 accomplish this,
organization is necessary AID the Posi-
would suggest the formation of q County
Commission whose duty it shall be to takef
hold of this matter and vigorously pros
prosecute it until enthusiasm is aroused
throughout the connty, and Wise is prop
erly represented at the great Worlds
Fair.

AS SUGGESTED by the Springfield Re
publican the revolt against Hill in New
York is n surrender in advance by the Clcve
land men. They might have kept up some
semblance Of fight until the State con-
vention met, but their kick at this time
is nothing more than an abandonment
of their cause in New York and the collapse
of Clevelandism. The moral effect Of this
surrender in New York is already begin
ming to be felt in other states. Reliable
advices from New Jersey are to the effect
that that State has swung into line as a
Hill state. Hill clubs are being organized
even in Texas. In Virginia the senti-
ment is daily growing stronger that Cleve-
land is q back number and that David
Bennett Hill is the coming man.
