RACING WITH A WHALE.
The Lively Experience of stea boat
Passengers on Puget sound.

What was probably the most UNIQUE race
on record occurred on the waters of Puget
sound between Tacoma and Seattle on FRI
DAY afternoon-namely. a race between a
Wnale and steamboat. Shortly after the
Flyer passd Browns point on her afternoon
trip to Seattle a large shovel-nose whale
was noticed on her port bow, and, as ii was
In about the same position when the Flyer
came up on her previous trip, Il excited the
curiosity of the captain, who decided to
stand Off his course to get a near view of
the monster Of the deep. Judge of his as
tonishment when. instead of overhauling
the whale, the whale drew away from the
boat By this time IL had got noised about
among the passengers that il was the in
ton Of the officers of the boat TO over
take the whale If IL was possible for wood
steel and steam to do 50.
Word was sent to the engine room and in
a few moments il was plainly noticea BILE
that the crack boat of the Pacific had got
an extra move on herself. and I'm about five
minutes IL was clear that she was gaining
on the whale. About one mile south of
Robinson's point the whale put on an extra
squirt OF speed and for a minute or so
was only a squirt, for the boat again gained
When Rob.nson's point was reached the
whale took the inside course, and il was
feared it would run ashore and SO end the
race. To prevent this the Flyer kept off
shore, to allow IL plenty of sea room
in rounding the point. By reason of taking
rounded the whale had gained considerably
on the boat but IL was evident from the
e-ratic movements of the leyiathan that st
was fast becoming tired out, and that it
would be only a matter of few miles more
when the monster would have to acknowl-
edge defeat. About half a mile from Pulley
point the whale and boat were side by side.
and the excitement among the passengers
was intense. women and children joining in
the wild and vigorous yelling Bets, which,
at the beginning of the race. were offered
that the whale would do up the boat, were
all withdrawn. and no one could be found
who would risk 10 cents on his whaleship.

after passing the point the greatest race on
record was ended man had constructed

The St. ClOnd. Plan.

We find several questions illus
trated by recent article from the
St. Cloud Press. We quote:
Several business men of St. Cloud
are perfecting arrangements. which.
it is thought, will improve the farm
trade derived by the city. St. Cloud
now enjoys fairly good trade with
the farmers for many miles around,
but under the plan it is considered
that it will be materially increased.
Mr.. H. G. Metzl seems to be the
prime mover, and a meeting of the
merchants has been called for Friday
evening at the city council rooms to
further develop the plan. The
scheme outlined is this: Farmers
marketing their wheat at the Tileston
mill will receive in payment, if they so
elect, part cash and the balance in
coupon checks. The price paid to
be six cents above the market value.
These coupons will be taken as cash
by the merchants In this manner
those selling wheat in this city will
receive six cents per bushel more
than is paid in any of the smaller
towns about here. If brought into
active practice it should make St.
Cloud the best wheat market in
Northern Minnesota
This is good idea. 1t is an attempt
to get around the scarcity of money,
by creating another currency, out of
the coupon checks. But the gold
bugs, as soon as they hear of it, will
probably put the US. Marshall on the
parties and arrest them. They pros
ecuted a man the other day, down
east, for having picture of silver
dollar in his newspaper. They said
it was cOatnteJeiting!!
Government nowadays is not
what it's founders intended it should
be,-a simple instrument to "pro-
mote the general welfare;" it is
complex mechanism to prevent the
people from helping themselves;
to trip them up, and knock them
down, and bedevil them into crime
and suicide. And every daily paper
shows how well it is doing it's work.
And the people are as bewildered as
man would be who should see the
roof, that was intended to shelter
his family, coming down upon and
crushing them. Byron describes
how old ocean, in it's fury, sends the
sailors ''howling to their monster
gods in vain;" and the people of this
country would, if they dared, howl
to their monster gods, viz. the two
old parties: but their cries petrify
and stick in their throats. In their
awful peril they recognize that their
deities are shams, humbugs, frauds,
fetishes:-and they are silent.

not or will not trust out their goods;
we think the men who raise the crops
should not starve. The Bible says:
"Muzzle not the OK that treadethOut
the corn" In other words, let the
chap that does the work have his
belly full. It is no more e6Shonor to
the debtor to avail himself of the
rights of defense the law has given
him than it is dishonor to the credit
or to avail himself of the powers the
law has given him to collect his claim.
The state, when it passed that ex-
emption law, thirty years ago, meant
that the farmers of this state should
not starve or be driven off the land
by hunger.
Be honest, brethren, be honest; but
don't let the wife and little ones suf-
fer. Remember what St. Paul says:
"But if anyprovide not for his own,
and especially for those of his own
house, he hath denied the faith and
is worse than an infidel.'

Good. Then we have not lived in
vain. Who says the Usury law is not
effective.
And yet the fault is not with the
greedy fellows who try to plunder
their fellows, but with the two ma
tional political parties, who, for
campaign contributions, yield to the
money-power, and make money so
scarce that men cannot get it even
at legal rates of interest. What the
world needs is an abundant supply
OF currency. That means no credit,
no debt, no bankruptcies, and al
most no crime.

A Correction.

We stated in the petition which we
drew up for the people to sign and
send to congress that the deposits in
the savings banks of the United
States amounted to one billion five
hundred thousand dollars. Our es-
teemed friend. Judge Welsh, of Min
neapolis, wrote us a letter taking ex-
ception to the truth of this state
nent. He said it was impossible
that there was not money enough in
the country, etc. If the Judge will
turn to the New York World Alman-
&C for 1892, page 149, he will find the
figures given in detail for each state;
and the total amount of such depos-
it's for the year 1s88-S9 was 81 ,524 ,S44,
SOC: the total number of savings
banks, 921; the total number. of de-
positors. 4,25s, ,623; and the average
amount for each depositor 1858 .O4
This table is compiled from the re-
port of the comptroller of the treas
ury. That was five years ago. The
amount of deposits now is stated to
be over one billion seven hun
dred thousand dollars; but inasmuch
as we desired to be on the safe side
we adopted the lower figures. Now
one half the money that was in the
hands of the banks is in the hands of
the people, and if we had national
savings banks, as they have in Cana
da, it would be deposited in them,
and being loaned out on real estate
security, would at once relieve the
monetary distress. d.

So ''the stringency of the money

by the republican secretary of the

clamor to take the ten per cent. war
tax of state banks? So that there
may be more money created. WHY
