THE RESOLUTION MAKER.

This being the season for holding the an
formed to advocate special interests, the res
olution maker avails himself of the opportu-
nifty they afford TO secure the Endorsement
of his hobbies. The professional resolution
maker is sure to move the appointment Of
a committee on resolutions, for the reason
that courtesy gives him the craftsmanship.
He formulates whereases and resolutions,
which he fires in salvos upon his disorgan-
lied associates. and, glad to escape. they
permit the chairman to report his resolu-
tions as those of the committee. Toward
the close of the sessions of these conven-
tions, when the delegates are leaving and
paying little heed to routine business, the
resolution maker reads his resolutions as
the report of the committee. Few hear the
resolutions, which are adopted, but many
are surprised and annoyed when they see
them in cold print.
These observations are suggested by a
resolution adopted by the Illinois Grange
at io Z ioob g nv 10 -
that it is the sense of that organization
that 1.-The government should either build
or purchase a railway from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, to be operated by the gov
eminent and to be paid for in legal ten
ders," meaning thereby treasury notes, or
really fiat money. 1t is not probable that
any considerable number of the members Of
an organization containing as many intel
ligent men and women as does the Patrons
Of Husbandry in Illinois hold any such view.
They know that there are now six or seven
tra~nscontinental lines of railway, no one
OF which is earning anything for the share
holders. They know that, in principal and
interest, the United States now holds an
interest amounting to $1S5. OOO. 900 in Pacific
always which is not worth so cents on the
dollar. They know that the Pacific roads
in existence could do three or four times
as much business as they now have. and
that competition has reduced freight charges
to a minimum. In short. they know that
there is no call for such a railway. What
the resolution maker in this case desired
was to get an expression Of the Illinois
Grange in favor of the issue of irredeema-
BILE paper money. He knows that it would
take two hundred millions of money to
purchase and equip a railway from ocean
to ocean. Such a purchase with fiat money
would increase the volume of full legal
tender money to that extent-in his judg-
ment. That is the idea that has fastened
itself upon his intellect. which is open to
theories and iron-clad to the experience Of
nations, which is that there is no more
direct road to financial disaster than the
issue OF large quantities of irredeemable
paper money-evidences of Indebtedness.
1t would be we'll for organizations of sem
sible men to suppress such resolution MAX
ers, for the reason that the adoption of res
| olutions like the one here alluded TO may
lead some people to assume that an intelli-
gent organization is made up of financial
4anks when such is not the case.

Great Figures for Columbia.

noon She said ii was three days after the
death of Mrs. Mary Koesters that the old
people came to live with Charles Koesters.
The old man was about seventy-four years
of age and his wife a few months younger.
The old man suffered with swollen feet dur
ing the entire winter. He was in his own
home when his Will was made. She never
objected TO the presence of the old people.
They remained until their death. She never
quarreled with the old man. He said the
children ought not to talk at the table and
she said they had always been used to
doing so while their mother was alive. He
objected to their angling and told the de-
PENDANT she had nc better raising than the
children. She thought he was angry but
she was not. She told Mrs. Hoenig about
this one time and the latter replied that her
father did the same. The defendant said

Der of the leading men in all professions
as to what they would do ii science were

curious, and heighten the interest which
is felt in the second part of FIammar-
ions great novel, which appears in the
May Cosmopolitan. 1t is question
which everyone will find interesting to
ask of himself: What would you do if
within six weeks the end of the world

| The gates are ajar and the great expos
sition is in motion
10 make history truthfully, it must
be stated that President Cleveland did it
with his thumb. The so-called button
was not one of the push" electric affairs
with which everyone is familiar, but
more in the form of telegraph key
which the operator presses with his
thumb and forefinger.
Of course the President did the act
with the skill of an expert That is the
way it is recorded and that makes his
tory. 1t is not nearly so material how
thing is actually done, or how an event
occurs as how it is told to the world.
The record, not the fact, does the bust
ness.
And SO to>days work, much of it fanci-
full, will go into history, because it was
SO written and the next generation will
be just as wise as if it had been written
some other way.
NOT IN READINESS.
The very event of to-day lends force
to my point relative to making history.
The telegraph and daily papers an>
nounce that the exhibit began to-day
AS matter of fact it did not The build
ings are for the most part completed and
in readiness. Some of them have been
so for weeks, but the exhibitors are far
from ready. The fair officials have per-
formed their immense task with great
credit, so far as time is concerned, but it
seems as if everyone planning for an ex-
hibit had adopted as his motto the SEN
timent, "wait little longer"
The result is that the visitor is fairly
bewildered by the incompleteness of the
exhibits. Thousands of men are busily
engaged in putting the exhibits in place,
and other thousands putting the finish
ing touches on the grounds and some of
the buildings. The progress which has
been made in the past week is almost
like theatrical transformation scene
And now that the fair has actually be-
gun, men and money will not be spared
to hasten the completion.
1t is neither fair nor honest to say that
all is now in readiness or to predict that
it will be before the first of June. 1t is
entirely truthful, however to say that
there is enough to be seen now to repay
a visit, if you choose to make one at this
time. But if you come in May it would
be we'll to call again, later in the season.
and see the rest. Every day sees an
enormous amount accomplished, but the
task is more stupendous than ever before
attempted in a similar line. But it will
pay you to come now rather than not at
all.
