Boston elected a Republican board
of aldermen aud Democratic mayor
at.the election last week. The total
vote was lighter than had been ex-
pected and about 1900 less than the
gubernatorial vote in November, Mat
thews polling 2,697 less than Russell,
and Hart 1912 more than Grcenhalge.
A plurality of 1895 for Matthews
last year was cut down to 5,l06 this
year, the nearest Boston has come to
having Republican mayor for some
time and good showing for Candi-
date Hart. The city voted for license
by 9,744 majority. Mayor Matthews
is deservedly popular and has given
the city clean, able administration,
which alone saved him from defeat in
this Republican year.

We regret that President Cleveland
bids fair to lose, in his second term,
all the honor he won in his first. His
Hawaiin policy is so contrary 10 all the
traditions and TO the sentiment of the
American people that il has received
almost universal condemnation, not

well. His appointment OF Van Allen.

was contribution of S5O,OOO to the

In both OF these affairs, the Presi-

and obstinacy by attempting, rs far

defiance of, and without the knowl-
edge of Congress, and in disregard of
the plain terms of the Constitution.

promptly passed resolutions compel

ever administered to chief executive.

NORWAY'S FARMERS.
Aarestad Declares Their Condition
to be Decidedly UncomfOrt-
able

In a recent debate in the Norwe-
gian StOrthing, Mr.. Aarestad, mem
Der for one of the chief agricultural
districts of the country, maintained
that the land owners and farmers
were steadily falling deeper and
deeper into debt. Those who now,
he said, in reality own the soil of
Norway are the Bank of Norway, the
Land Mortgage Bank, the savings
banks and traders in towns. The
mortgage debt on Norwegian agricul-
ture has more than doubled in the
last 20 years. He estimated that the
Norwegian peasant proprietor owned
in reality only about One-sixteenth of
the value Of the land, houses and
forests in the country, and that the
interest on the land debt at 4 per
now amounts to One-sixth of the to-
tai yield of agriculture in Norway.
He declared the condition of the
farmers to be desperate, and that un-
less serious steps were taken they
would be entirely ruined" New
York Evening Post.
And all this shows how the de-
monetization of silver is doing it's

does prosperity flourish, oasis in
the midst of European wretchedness

A STRONG RESOLUTION.
The Daily Papers Suppress Reso-
lutiOns Adopted by La
boring Men.

At the semi-annual meeting of the
State Federation of Labor, which was
held in Labor hall St. Paul, June IL,
series of resolutions was adopted
one of which was as follows:
Resolved, That we are firmly
convinced that most of the injustice
and oppression that labor suffers
from today is due to laws that confer
special privileges upon the few and
deny freedom, justice and right to
the tOilers; therefore
Resolved, That we would urge all
branches of labor to keep their eyes
on the work of congress in the COM
ing session, and mark and remember
the names of those who befriend Ia
Dor as we'll as those who befriend
monopoly; and
Resolved, That we demand that
congress shall create or authorize nc
more banks of issue but shall meet
the present scarcity of money by
granting free coinage of silver, and
by paying off the remainder of the
national debt by means of full legal
tender treasury notes.
A gentleman who was a delegate to
the convention handed us the fOregO.
ing resolution with the remark that
the daily papers had reporters at the
meeting, but that every one of the
papers suppressed this resolution in
their published report. No wonder

nelly voted in congress in 1873 for
the demonstration of silver. AS

ed in March 1869 he must have held
a little congress of his own in MIMI
ger, to have cast that vote. OH!

A Rotten Financial System.

The sacred writer has said, '"The
love of money is the root of all evil"
If our purpose were to deliver SER
mon, or even a moral lecture on the
foregoing text, we should be drawn
into discourse on avarice; but such
is not our intention, for we think
that there is depth of philosophy
and political economy in the venera-
BILE saying, far beyond what is gene
rally attributed to it.
l use the word money in it's strict
sense, as currency in metal or it's
equivalent, which is commonly con-
sidered to be medium of exchange,
having of itself no real value but rep
resenting the value of those things
which it is used to purchase. Thus
it is clear to the most casual observer
that bushel of wheat of the best
quality can never change it's real or
intrinsic value. 1t will always make
the same amount of flour and con-
tribute in the same degree to the
sustenance of human life, therefore
it's real value always remains un-
change.
Then why should the price of wheat
be soc. at one time and 81 at another
time2s The usual answer will be that
it is controlled by the laws of supply
and demand, yet moments refiec-
tion will show us that this is true
only to limited extent, and that the
real cause of the variation in prices
must be looked for elsewhere. nor
have we far to look to find it.
In the first place, if prices were con-
trolled by the law Of supply and de-
mand, when there is general short
