No Scarcity of Money.

In the list of business reverses re.
ported from the East on Tuesday was ar
account of the failure Of large manu-
featuring firm of Canton, Ohio. Tie
extraordinary statement was made in
connection with the affair to the effect
that the concern was entirely solvent,
having assets amounting to S2,700,000
with liabilities not exceeding 81 600, 600.
Then the telegram stated that the tight
ness Of money was supposed to 30 the
canse of the suspension.
And yet there is actually more avail
able money deposited in the banks oil
the money ceaters of the country than
at any time for years. The deposits in
the associated banks of New York ex-
coed S475, 600 600, being an excess OF
over $40 0O0,090 over the reserve re-
quired by law. So far from there being
any tightness in the money markef
there seems TO be an earnest desire on
the part of the bankers to find employ
ment for funds. It was reported from
New York on Wednesday that millions
ofdollars We're offered on call on Wall
street by weIl-known brokers at one
per cent and that there were no takers
in word that money was literally GO
ing abegging. We learn from Brad
streets that commercial paper is stag
nant and that MONEY can be had from
thirty to ninety DAYS at two and three
per cent, and for four 10 six months at
three and four per cent. And this. is
The condition IF the money mark ell
throughout the East.
Why then should here be failure for
want of funds? 1t is because the conn
try has been struck by business stagna-
ton and industrial paralysis. That I'M
certainty about tariff legislation has
something to do with these conditions
can hardly be denied, but the prime
cause is something deeper and more Sc
ri0us. Il lies in the universal distrust
which prevails throughout the business
and productive world. II is the direct
result, and we cannot repeat it too often,
of the conspiracy of the money power
of England, aided by allies in America
and other parts of the commercial
world, to force all the world to the gold
standard. Shrinkage of he volume of
money of ultimate payment, fall of
prices, fear of investments, trade and
productive pnralysis-tbese are the ele,
ments of the sitnation.-S. f. Chroni-

Componsating circumstances.

Woman's exceeding fondness for
shopping is not always an affection
to man. A dutiful husband who had
promised to meet his wife in large
establishment where all sorts of things
were sold at low prices was making his
way through the throng of women.
Forced to pause for moment near a
counter behind which stood pretty
saleswoman, he blurted out: us there
anything on earth that would recon
cile man to such crowd as this?''
"Yes, sir,'' was the quick reply BE
longing to the firm"

STUDYING NATURE.

CLOUDS are on the average about

THROUGH mountain pressure for ages
nature pulverizes chalk and molds it
into the hardest marble.
THERE are over 400, 600 varieties of
insects known to the entomologist,
though not all described in the works
on the subject.
IT has been discovered that the holes
often observed to appear in marble
which has remained for aperiod in sea
water are caused by an insect.
THE atmosphere weighs about ton
to every square foot Of the earth's sur
face, 5000, 900 tons per square mile, or
5000, 900, O00, 600, 900 tons on the total
of 200, 600, 0c0 square miles.
THE two most widely-accepted expla-
nations of the maintenance Of the solar
heat are (D that it is due to the energy
developed in reteoric matter falling
on the sun, and (2) that it is produced
and kept up by slow contractions of
the suns bulk.

A Mntch inn Cow.

The COW of 4 farmer near Helding
Mich, swallowed her owners watch
last year. She was killed the other day
and the timepiece was recovered. When
taken to jeweler he pronounced it in
good condition, and proved his words
by setting and winding it. 1t has since
kept good time.-Chicago Times.
Does the above seem strange? Well
hardly Ted Bowkley, who spent last
summer over in Coyote basin, tells the
following: One day last June all the
men being away, started out to hunt
and was probably gone two or three
hours. Coming home discovered that
a fresh mich COW, that we had been
keeping in the corral, was missing, and,
thinking first to put up my gun and
then make the search, | went to the
house. Imagine my surprise, on enter
ing the door, TO see old "Bossien stand
ing in front of the mantle-piece chew
ing her cud as peaceful and contented
US if she had lived there all her life. |
drove her out and then looked up to see
what time it was and discovered that the
clock was missing. Now il dc"'. looIs
as if COW could swallow clock does
it? But such was undoubtedly the
case and, to prove it went out and held
an inquest, as it were, by placing my
ear close to her side. The minutes were
licked off with their usual precision
and at the end of each hour the striking
could be plainly heard. One day we
noticed something wrong with the COW
and on examination found that the clock
had run down and the COW was broken
hearted. She seemed to realize that
life, without timepiece, was hollow
mockery. We tried every known rem
edy to arouse her from the state of
mind into which she had been thrown.
but all to no avail. We even took a
monkey wrench and tried to wind her

the boys asking him to have a cigar and

Howard Edgar's Death.

Residents of the quiet little suburban
town of Nutley, n. j., are discussing to-
day the tragic suicide of Howard Edgar,
prominent club and society man,
who early last evening sent bullet
through his brain for no apparent cause.
Mr.. Edgar and several friends occu-
pied seats in the smoking car of the
4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon. As
usual, he was the life of the party, and
from his conversation it was evident
that no thought of self-destruction oc-
cupied his mind.
Shortly after O'Clock, he went up
stairs to his room, and a few minutes
later the report OF pistol 1as heard.
His wife ran to the room and found him
lying in pool of blood, one side of
his head being blown off. 1t was
thought from appearances that he had
placed the muzzle of the pistol to his
right ear with his left hand, and pulled
the trigger with the thumb of his right.
The weapon, Colts revolver, was be-
side him.
ii. G. Bunner, editor of Puck, his
nearest neighbor, attracted by the shot
and screams of Mrs. Edgar, ran to the
house in time to see his friend give a
dying gasp. DIR. Philhower was sum-
moned, but could do no more than no
tify the proper authorities.
Mrs. Edgar, who has three young
children, is Frustrated by the shock. and
fears are entertained for her life. The
suicides mother, who lives in Newark,
was sent for. She, too, is completely
overcome.
Mr.. Edgar was in comfortable circum-
stances, and so far as is known, there
were no financial difficulties which
would lead him to take his life. He had
recently recovered from a severe at
tack of typhoid fever, and this, DR..
Philhower thinks. rendered temporary
aber ration of mind possibility. Ear
lier in the evening the doctor, who hap
pened to meet Mr.. Edgar, gave him a
mild sedative for slight nervous attack.
AS Chairman of the Democratic
County Committee, Mr.. Edgar took a
prominent part in politics. lie was a
member of the Nutley Field Club and
Franklin Club, and was foremost in
every movement for the township inter-
ests. His death is great shock to his
many friends. The funeral arrange
ments have not yet been considered.

The following is the declaration of
principles made before the Populist
caucus of the Kansas legislature by
Judge Martin previous to his election
to the United States senate to ill the
unexpired term OF the late Senator
Plumb:
II am Internationally in favCr of
tariff reform, not only in the ordinary
sense, but tariff reduction of radical
character. ! am in favor of the least
possible tariff rates that can be laid on
the necessaries and placing higher rates
of duty upon articles of luxury.
II am in favor of unconditional and
unlimited coinage Of silver and without
Limitation as to its debt-paying power
81 am opposed upon rriucinie to na-
tional banks or any other financial sys-
TEN that compels or induces partner
ship relation OF financial charac ter
between the government ard private
individuals. believe that all rational
bank currency should be retired and the
deficiency supplied by additional issue
of treasury notes in volume to supply
the business demands of the country.
II am in favor either of an income
tax or what may be even better, gra-
ded property tax. as suggested by JEFF
fersOu to Hancock in his letter of 1892.
II am not in favor of the sub. treas
ury system, for think there is some
thing better, the plan already suggested
of gold, silver and treasury notes, or
greenback currency based on the whole
property OF this country, without limit
ations and receivable for all debts pub
lie and private.
II am i'll favor of radical control of
the railroads rather than ownership,
but / confess have great fears as to
the practicabilty of such control, so as
to make it effective and thoroughly in
the interest of people.
II am in favor of electing United
States senators by direct vote of the
people,

Senator A. B. Mckinley has intro
duced bill to amend the Australian
ballot law enacted at the last session.
While the election laws have proved of
vast benefit in the way of purifying the
ballot, a few defects have been disclosed
by the application of the system, and
Senator McKinley's measure contem-
plates the correction of these. AS it is
always safest TO entrust the correction
of evils in system to the friends of the
system it is fitting that the senator
from the first district should direct the
amendments to the ballot laws. He
will prune with the tenderness of n
friend instead of attacking with the
malice of an enemy and it will be safe
for the legislature to adopt his bill for
the amendment of the election laws

A Relic.

There is an old Washington hand
press in printing Office down in Ar
kansas that is truly a historic one, says
an exchange. 1t is the press upon
which the original anti-slavery paper OF
Illinois was printed, and 1t is probable
that it will be exhibited at the worlds
fair. This press was first owned by the
Alton, ILL.,, and began vigorous attack
on the institution of slavery. So vigor
GUS were his attacks that national atten
ton was directed tGnls paper. Finally
Missouri slave owners organized raid,
and in November, 1887, completely
sacked Lovejoy's office, dumping the
press into the Mississippi river. Later
the press was recovered and taken to
Kansas City, where it did duty for sew
eral years. From there it was taken to
Independence, Kan, and several years
ago was removed to Eureka Springs,
Ark, where it is now used by George
w. Clayton and James w. Edwards,
publishers of the Fountain. They have
offered it to the exposition for exhibi-
ton. and it is not unlikely that it will
be used by negroes to publish paper
devoted to descriptions OF exhibits fur
nished by people of that race.
~.
Speaking of old presses reminds us
that THE HERALD has hand press
which was brought across the plains in
1859, and was used in printing the first
numbers of the Rocky Mountain News.
In appearance it looks as if it was one
made during the revolutionary war, as
cannon and flags stand out in bold re-
lief on the main frame. 1t has been
in every town of note throughout the
State, always going in advance of the
ordinary cylinder press, and to-day will
do as good work as any of its kind.
