and they have been compelled in con-
sequence to go abroad for it. AS a re
suit, vast sums of alien money has
been invested in this country, either as
loans or in business ventures, Very
little of the governments indebtedness
is held abroad. Probably not one per
cent. of the amount Because money
was dearer here than in Europe the
alien placed his funds here in order to
receive the increased earnings. Now
nearly all the nations Of the old world
are preparing for war and in so doing
are boarding gold. Within a short
time Austria has taken $32, 900, 900 and
France $25, 900, 900 of American gold
are still calling for more. Some will
ask how it is done. The answer is
simple enough. The alien investor
calls for his rent, or his dividends, or
perhaps the principal, and loans it to
France, Austria, or any other govern
ment that will pay for it more than he
is getting here. The agent of the alien
investor here converts the interest,
dividends or principal he is paid into
greenbacks, presents them to the
United States sub treasury and Oh aims
their face value in gold and sends the
gold to an alien investor for whom he
is acting. There is without doubt
Sc, 600, 900, 600 of alien capital invested
in this country, all of which, under
this ruling of the treasury, is payable
in gold The idea of burdening our
people with debt in order to buy gold
to pay the alien this vast amount is
monstrous, If they want metal money
pay them in silver There are over
10000 tons Of it in the United States
treasury ready for that use. Let it be
done at once. W0tchn1an.

TANNING A BADLY-RAISED JER-
SEY cow.
Prize Essay, by Mrs Carrie Balsley

Prize Essay, by Mrs Carrie Balsley
AS our lot is not very large one,
and most Of it set to fruit Of different
kinds, we decided, when we first began
housekeeping, to buy our milk and
butter. We soon discovered, however,
that this was the largest bill we had to
meet, while the butter was often Of
third rate quality and the milk was
very thin and blue. After considering
the matter some time, we came to the
conclusion that we could better our
selves by keeping a COW of our own, so
we bought one, a great big creature
that was said to give a river Of milk
and make lots of butter.
We found that she did give lots of
milk, but very little butter in it, so,
after keeping her few weeks, we sold
her and tried another, and then an
other, all large COWS; but little figur
ing satisfied us that their feed cost
more than all the cream and butter we
obtained from them was worth Ny
husband sold the last one and declared
he would have nothing more to do with
COWS. But was very anxious to try
a genuine Jersey, and after a good deal
of coaxing finally persuaded him to
buy one.
When our neighbors heard of it they
poked all sorts of fun at us. "Why
don't you buy a wild deer?' asked one.
Buy Jersey and a jack rabbit, said
another, and you'll have team!'
The idea that Jerseys are naturally
wild find prevails quite extensively
among people who have but little
knowledge of this breed of cattle.
Nothing could be further from the
truth, as I shall show.
After looking about some time, my
husband purchased one from man
who kept a herd. She was two years
old, wee bit Of a thing, and had been
raised in a large pasture where no per-
s, n had touched her. She had dropped
calf about a week before we bought
| her.
When they brought her to us a man
walking on one side of her with rope
fastened to her head, while another
followed with big whip. They tied
her in the stable and I went to see her.
She looked at me with her great, dark
eyes as though she thought I was going
to kill her on the spot, then sprang into
the manger. Ny husband was obliged
to tie her so she could scarcely move
in order to milk her. The following
morning I went to the stable and
offered her an ear of corn, holding it
in my hand. At first she tried to break
away, but finding herself fast, turned
her great eyes on me and uttered a
plaintive moan. Actually I could
scarcely keep from crying for the poor
little thing. Presently, however, she
smelled Of the corn and then took it.
In the afterr con brought down a
light rocker and some sewing and sat
in an adjoining stall a couple of hours.
I then fed her, and she allowed me to
rub her neck. Three days afterWard
I could go into the stall with her, brush
her down and milk her, and IN two
weeks she was following me about the

"HEW TO THE LINE"
A Collar Would Look Unnatural-Bilkins'
Dream.

SEMORA, N. @.
Mr.. EDITOR That you may con-
tinue to hew to the line, regardless Of
the will Of the Charlotte NeaCs or any
of its ilk, as you did in your last issue,
about those promises" is, I'm sure,
the ardent wish Of whole heaps OF
liberty loving men in North Carolina,
regardless of party utilization. The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER wearing a party
collar or m1uzzIe would look so uro-
natural that I feel constrained to ask
the great % political bosses to please
let it rip"
That twas all a dream of Mai. Bill
kins about famous legislature con
gregating at chat place where, with
impunity, no tampering with charters
is allowed, is a source Of qualification

most appalling-there is no word of
complaint that it is too great. There is
desire among men of all parties that
all unworthy recipients of the public
bounty be purged from the pension
rolls, but nowhere is there any inclina-
ton manifested to deuy to any man
who served bravely in the ranks the
means of comfortable maintenance in
his declining ears.
A fact having bearing upon the vet
Grams is also worthy of note: The Grand
Army of the Republic, which in 1877
boosted of but 27,179 members, contin-
ued to grow steadily till 1890, when its
maximum membership 400, 49, was
reached. Since that date it has steadily
declined, and reports submitted at the
indianapolis encampment Of last month
show a membership of but 397, 223,
falling off of 1926. This decrease is
not due to deaths alone. A large per-
centage of the loss can be attributed to
the disgust of the veterans with the
partisanship that has of late years char
acterized the organization. The fact is
becoming apparent that the Grand Army
has been proStituted to unworthy pur-
poses, and many of the veterans are

THE CROOKS CARNIVAL.

The Daily News has at last succeeded
In arousing some attention to the lack
of vigor of the municipal administra-
ton of st. Paul in dealing with the
criminal classes. The GLOBE has taken
up the fight against the crooks. and pro-
poses to atone for inefficIency of the
police authorities by opening detective
bureau. 1t is to be hoped that the
Daily News and the GLOBE together
may accomplish a good work in driving
out the aggregation of thieves and bur-
glars and bank robbers and "sure
thing" gamblers who now congregate in
this city by the tacit consent, if not the
actual protection, of men who seem to
have ''pull'' upon the city authorities.
1t must be confessed that the reform adj
ministration, with its imported chief of
police, has not come up to public ex-
pectations. 1t is case in which reform
does not seem to reform. As the GLOBE
says: "Since st. Paul reached the pro-
portions of large city there has never
been time when so many of the crimi-
nal classes found here haven of rest
as at the present moment" What does
Mayor Wright propose to do about it?

THE ROLL OF HONOR

Shortly after the close of the war,
Gen. Grant, in abiding to the various
propositions for pensioning the soldiers.
expressed the fear that the cost to the
country would, in the course of time.
become exceedingly onerous, and might
involve an annual outlay of thirty mill
ions of dollars. Gen. Garfield, then
the leader Of the house of representa-
tives, conceded with this opinion, out
declared that there was no probability
of the pensions exceeding that maxi
mum amount. Results have shown that
neither OF THESE gentlemen had any ade-
quate conception of the amount that
would be required for this purpose. The
number of pensioners has increased
from 232, l04 in 1871 to S76,06S in 1892.
while the amount required i'll pensions
reaches the enormous aggregate of more
than one hundred and thirty million
dollars. 1t will be seen. therefore, that
Notwithstanding the fact that thousands
of the soldiers are dying yearly, the
pensioners are constantly increasing, as
the following table will show.

THEY HAD PRECEDENT.

There are some people S" nnreasona-
bic as to criticise the two detectives
who went to New York for charging SIS
per day to the county for their time,
while drawing full salaries for the same
period from the CITY,
This is really quite unjust.
The detectives have full precedent
for plundering the county in the action
of the mayor, who served three or four
days on the board of equalization, and
because the board sat twentY-eight days
charged .sS4 for his services.
The detectives really put in the time
for which they charged, while the mayor
charged the county for the time he
spent in aiding Mr.. Maybell in conduct
ing his (Maybell's) business.

Home Once More.

Loren Listoe, who was appointed
consul to Dusseldorf, Germany. by
President Harrison last November. has
returned with his family to st. Paul.
Mr.. Listoe accepts the fortunes of poll
tics very philosophically, though he

to serve at least one year. He was mott
fed on May IA that his place was want
ed, but was allowed to remain at his
post until the 10th Of August.
He comedies that Assistant Secretary
of State Quincy was selected to make
changes in foreign appointments, and
he did the work promptly and thor
oughly. While political friends regret
his recall, host of acquaintance, re-
CARELESS of politics, are glad to see him
in his old home.
The health of Mr.. Listoe and his fam
lily is excellent, and he has greatly en-
ioyed his brief sojourn abroad. He is
not certain whether he will again re-
sumo newspaper work, bat in any event
expects to rem ain in st. Paul.
