There is but u spot on the earth's

knows. that las been really and truly
wil!ed, decided and bequcathed 10 Ills
satanic majesty. This spot lies fuar
and a half miles south of lIclsintors
Finland. A few years ago Lars lIuol.
arinen died in the little town of Piei-
i%sjarvi IN the above-named country
leaving considerable property in the
shape of real estate. How he had
come into possession of 50 much land
no one seemed to know. but as lie
W. = a very ba | citizen, it was general
~ admitted that he was i'm lta.he
Hith W~ihtahausu (SatanI and that
they hal had many business deals
with each other.
This somewhat startling opinion
was verified when old I%fuOlarincn
died, for, upon opening his will, the
magistrate tUund Il certified warranty
deed enclosed therein which decided
to SATAN all of his (IIuoiarinen'S
earthly possessions.
Tn. aill was 10 the same effect. The |
iIni!y nave repeatedly tried TO break
the will. but. so far, have been unsuc-
ce>-ful; thus the records plainly show
that his sulphuric majesty has a legal
ri"ht aud title TO some excellent
grounds in the vicinity of Hclsingfors.
The simple people in the neighbor-
hood have changed the course of the
road which formerly skirted the IIuol-
arinen homestead. and declared that
they would NOT euter the possession
of Satan 4 Co. for all the money that
three sGch estates would bring.

ia. The Prohibitionists further de
mand that this per capita circulation
be made to increase in proportion with
our increasing population.
The subject might he pursued much
further. but space will not permit.
The Democrats. for the first time i'll
over ~ years. have full control of the
government. and upon them rests the
main responsibility for what is done in
the way of legislation while they are
in power. President Cleveland is pop
ularly adjudged to be a gold-bug.
Whether he is or not. will no doubt be
made clear by the message he will lay
before the extra session of Congress
today or tomorrow. If he is. as we
have seen above, he will be going con
trary to the declared policy of his own
and every other party of the country.

1t will be seen that both old parties
are thus unequivocally committed to
a bimetallic currency by their latest
official utterances. \ bOut the only diff
ference between the above planks
verbiage aside, is that the Democrats
denounce the Sherman law and de
mand its repeal, favor the free mint
age or coinage Of both the precious
metals. without discrimination against
either. and recommend but do not
demand on ptc,ige themselves toy the re-
peal of the 10 per cent. tax on State
banks. Both are committed to pre-
serving the parity of the dollar unit OF
the two metals. and the accomplish
ment of this is to be effected through
LEGISLATION or an international mOneta-
nv conference one or both. So far as
All international monetary conference
is concerned. that method of adjust
ment. at cost to the tax payers Of
100000. has been reSorted to for the
third or fourth time since these plat
forms were adopted and proved an eX-
pensive failure. And so far as the re-
peal of the Sherman law is concerned,
the Republicans are quite as ready to
repeal that as the Democrats. Indeed.
Mr.. Sherman frankly confesses now
that it was never intended for any
thing more than "a make-shift' to de-
feat a free-coinage bill in the Reed
Congress. and, having accomplished
that purpose, he is as ready for It's re-
peal now as any one.
1t will be observed that neither OF
the old parties has any thing to say
about abolishing the national bank
system, and from the last paragraph
quoted, we may safely infer that the
Democrats favor having paper money
issued through State as well as Nation
al banks. at whatever rate of Interest
the banking corporations can gct.

Like the two old parties, both of the
new parties are firmly committed to
bimetalism. but their declarations ma
terially differ in other respects from
both old party platforms, and in some
important particulars from each other.
The Prohibition platform declares
for the policy of bimetalism, and while
making no discrimination beween gold
and silver, says nothing about the
coinage of either. The Peoples party
declares unequivocally for the free and
unlimited coinage of both metals at
the old ratio of IL to |. Unlike the
old parties. neither of the new parties
contemplates any international none
tary conferences or ''entangling ALI
ances with other nations" and, unlike
the old parties again, both distinctly
declare that all money-gold, silver
and paper should be issued directly
by the General Government. without
the intervention of banking corpora
tions of any kind, and that such mon
ey shall be full legal tender for all
debts, public and private. No Nation
al and no State banks of issue here.
THe Prohibition party wisely, as we
think. stops after declaring for
sound principle of issue. The Peo-
pies party goes step farther and
commits itself to the much discussed
Sub rresury plan il the alternative
that or some better system.
Once more: unlike the old parties,
both of the new parties declare for an
increased volume of currency, some
thing which it is now admitted on ev-
cry hand is sadly needed, and that 1t

The sentiment in favor of a change
in the jury system, so that unanimity
will not be essential to a verdict. APP
pears to be steadily gaining ground.
More than one state has already provi-
ded that in civil cases the agreement
of three fourthS shall be sufficient.
The Territorial Legislature of Utah
not long ago passed such law, and
the Supreme Court has now unani-
mously sustained its constitutionality.
The new system works well wherever it
is tried. and it seems to be only a
question of time when it will pc gen
orally adopted.
