Struck it Rich.

Galena Gazette.
Timothy Dooling, of Vinegar Hill,
has one of the best mines recently I'M
earthed in this vicinity. The lead was
discovered some time ago but on ac-
count of water in the mine it could
not be worked profitably. Recently,
however, Mr.. Dooling has had a
thorough equipment Of engine, pump
and other machinery put in operation,
with the result that the shaft has been
cleared of water, and mineral in album
dance is right in sight. On Wednes-
day three men took out 1000 pounds
of ore, and that is only an average
days work since the introduction of
the pumping machinery. If the lead
holds out as good as it promises it will
make its owner rich.

The editor of The Dodgeville Chron-
icle is SO hopelessly partisan that he
takes exception to The Democrats
hnrrah for the Wisconsin building on
the worlds fair grounds, as rebound
ing to the credit of the Democratic
state administration. Our home state
building was well designed and well
constructed; and the people Of the
great city Of Chicago have mani
tested their appreciation # it, by
Offering 10 buy it, for use as a per
manent club house for Jackson park.
Besides, it was conducted throughout
the fair in Il manner becoming a truly
American institution. OF this credit
able showing every loyal Badger
should feel proud.

bonds, may we not say that all
has been done that in reason should
have been done to put the silver
money into circulation
Yet we find in the year 1890, just
before the Sherman law was passed,
but 62,582,O59 silver dollars in the
hands of the people and in all the banks,
while 323.804,55 silver dollars were
piled up in the vaults of the treasury
not more than one dollar in six of the
amount coined was in the hands of the
people; nor were they making use of
more than $53 in each 800 by means
of certificates. Think, too, the popu-
lation increased twenty per cent. dur
ing those years, and the national banks
had retired s172,771,259, or nearly one
half of their circulation at its highest
point Under these circumstances the
demand for money must have increas
ed enormously; why was silver not
used ?
That the people DID not use silver
dollars even with the government
offering them every inducement to do
so, and that too, at a time when they
needed money. is to say that they
WOULD not use silver as money. 1t
practically amounted to this, as fast as
business men could do SO they depos-
tied the silver in banks, the banks
would turn it over to other banks
| having business with the government,
these banks honored the checks of i'm
porters, drawn to pay customs due the
government, by unloading the silver
at the door Of the treasury, and the
round trip from the time the silver
left the treasury till it again clamored
for room in the vaults was in some
cases less than ten days.
| am very sure there can be but one
answer to the question, Why did the
people refuse to circulate the silver
dollars? The hard, strong sense Of
the American people told them that
dollar means one hundred cents of
metallic value in the coin, and they
knew the dollars Of 1873 did not
contain that amount; they felt too,
that their government could be in a
good deal better business than paying
out their money for bullion to coin
into " dollars worth less than their
face. +. Ii. DYER.

+" Sweet Charity"

In the Artists Exhibition of 1898 at
the New York Academy of Design,
there was exhibited an oil painting by
J.. L. G.. Ferris. entitled "SWeet
Charity" Its richness of coloring
commands instant attention, while
the lesson it taught was so impressive
that one naturally returned to it for a
second view.
Its subject is a young lady of colon
ial times who is On an Grand to one
of the poorer families of the town.
She has a sensible, charming face
which expresses with remarkable
fidelity the sentiment of her errand.
There is not home that this charm
ing picture will not ornament. 1t
must be seen to be appreciated.
"Sweet Charity" was purchased by
the Publishers of The Youths Com
panion and has been reproduced in
colors in large size, 141x2l.
1t will be sent to all new subscribers
to The Companion who send sl.75 for
