The Chicago Inter Ocean is a repub1i-
can paper of the stalwart kind. This is
what it says of bimetalism: ''Take the
world as a whole audit must be admitted
by all candid thinkers upon monetary
subjects that the production of the pre-
cious metals combined is not in excess
of the normal demand for increase in
the volume of hard money. The mind
car hardly conceive of a greater fnan-
cial calamity than general demonetiza-
ton of either metal. Fortunstely the
single silver standard of one country
partially offsets the single gold standard
of another. But the best way of all
would be for every country to adopt
bimetalism. With bimetalism universal
another law greater than legislation, the
law of natural fitness, would make gold
used in large transactions, silver in
small, and thus supply and demand
would become the great and all power
full regulator in monetary affairs.

In Excellent Condition.

The report of the condition of the
First National Bank of our city appears
elsewhere in this issue. 1t shows this
important financial institution to be in
a healthy and prosperous condition, and
carrying an immense cash reserve, a re-
assuring and gratifying fact in view of
the present confdence-lacking times.
The First National has always been a
safe, conservative banking house, and
their last report shows their affairs to be
in splendid shape to meet any and all
emergencies.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS.

Mr.. Russell Mcmillan will lead the
meeting, Sunday evening, the 23rd. A
special invitation is hereby given to the
''old folks" to attend these meetings.
1t will Encourage the members and help
you, too. Our meetings at 7
O'Clock. Come on time.
The Model Constitution Of the society
has been translated and printed in the
following languages: English, German,
Swedish, Norwegian, French. Danish,
Dutch, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese,
Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Hindoostanee,
Bengalee, Marathi, Arabic, Turkish, Bull
garain, Armenian, and modern Greek.
Mention was made, last week, in this
column of the growth of the Christian
Endeavor Societies in foreign lands.
Here are some very interesting figures
taken from the report of General Sec'y
Baer: England has over 600 societies;
Australia over 525; India n; Turkey, poor
prosecuted Turky, where the c. E. is
looked upon by the government () as
being inimica1 to the peace of the country
and is everywhere suppressed, still has
Al; New Zealand has 80; Japan "a; Mad
agascar 81; Scotland 80; Mexico ~. West
Indies 10; Africa IS; China ID; Sandwich
Islands s; Samoa 9. We have in all nearly
n thousand societies in foreign lands
and a grand total for the world re, 2S4
local societies, with a membership of L.
577,o4o. Since the New York convention
there have been 5,276 new societies or
gained.
With the exception of one Church in
in the United States, just one, the Evan
gelical denomination, are beginning to
realize and to understand that the Chris
tain Endeavor movement is interdenom-
national and not un-denominational and
that a Christian Endeavor society in a
church is just as much under the control
or that church as the Sunday school.
And there are signs that this particular
church is imbibing some of the truth of
the fact stated above. Give the young
people of the country inter-denominat-
ional fellowship, and then will they learn
that Christianity is more than being a
member of the Methodist or any other
church. Cling to your creed if you will,
but do not keep it at the expense of Chris
tianity. The c. E. movement is not a
movement to break down denomination
al lines, but rather one which gives a
broader meaning to UNCONVENTIONAL
creeds. The sooner this fact is recognized
and acted, the sooner will the influence
of the religion of Christ be stronger in
the land. May God hasten the time when
all the young people of this country may
meet in one grand convention, once a
year, irrespective of denomination, there
to plan, to get inspiration and help, such
as will be needful in their particular line
of effort. Don't tie Christianity to a
creed and expect to accomplish any
thing. Give it elbow room.

D. L. Mcbride was in from his farm
about twenty miles north of McCook,
Thursday. He reports having headed
about 400 acres of fall wheat which
yielded from 81 to 9 bushels per acre.
Says that the average yield of fall wheat
in his neighborhood will be a little over
seven bushels per acre; and that there
are many acres of spring wheat in that
section which will average fully as much.
The corr crop he states is very promising,
too.

The unconscionable amount of self
laudation contained regularly in the es-

A STRENUOUS EFFORT TO FIND SOMETHING
WRONG IN CUSTOM HOUSE PROCEDURE.
An extremely Ingenious plan for casting dScredI
upon the cement of the Custom House at this port
has been adopted recently by authorities Of the
Treasury Department, and of course men We're secured
who were willing TO 60 into IT. These men fourh
smorg the special agents. The Treasury Department
has been working assiduouely of late to obtain cews
upon which the special agents and the members OF
the fraud roll quartet might secure information which
could bc used against Collector liendilcks 10 lhs
end all of the egeIgies of the Treasury Department
and the special agents have been eAerttd since III"
first week of las, March. Nothing OF consequence
could be found, the Treasury Department sent IL
certain j. Thomas ocharf TO this port, dcsig niing
him Is a Especial Chinese Inspector to take charge
OF all questionable cases of Chinese coming TO this
country and demanding admission. Mr.. Scharf went
to work Immediately TO attract the affection Of the
Treasury Department, and he succeeded 50 admirably
that under any other Administration than the present
one his resignation would be asked Tor immediately
lie not orly insuted the Collector OF the Port but
sent TO the Secretary OF the Treasury letter which
spoke In the most scurrllouS terms Of The actions
OF one OF the most conscientious clerks in the Custom
House.
The whole thing came about through the admission
Of q Chinaman named Lee Yet, who left This city last
October for a trip home. His papers were all right.
The Custom House authorities passed him. j.
Thomas scharf objected however. lie was anxious
to find "A against the Custom House here. and
thought this excellent opportunity TO ma
fault He sent letter 10 the Treasury Department
declaring that the Custom House authorities had
acted as though they Were the Chnaman's attorneys.
(sIlccfor IIcndrch, has ordered Investigation OF
the case, which will be started at once.
