A Fatal Change.

Attention has been called to a fatal
error being made by some of the news.
papers in publishing the address sent
out by the National Committee from
St. Louis, Feb. 22nd, 1894. The
error is found in the following:
ga declaration in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage Of both gold and
silver at the ration of 16 to ! and tn,
direct issue by the government of legal
tender standard paper money redeem
able in metal"
1t should read as follows: IA decla-
ration in favor of the free and unlim.
tied coinage of both gold and silver at
the ratio of l6 to l aud the direct issue
by the government of legal tender
standard paper money redeemable in
debts and taxes"
"This change from debts and taxes to
metal is very significant. It is un.
doubtedly the work of the enemy, and
is made to render the whole address
ridiculous. 1t is to be hoped that if
any of our papers, by copying from
others, have accidently made this blum.
der they will publish this and make
such editorial comment as will set the
matter right, and if possible hunt down
the cur who willfully made the change.
The copies sent out by the United
Press and the Associated Press and
published in the daily papers have been
examined and found to be correct,
therefore the change was willfulIy
made by some one. Look him up."
The above notice is sent out from
National Headquarters of the Peoples
Party, In Washington, D. G. AS long
as our party managers keep up the
nonsense of "redeeming" money in
anything they may expect to create
confusion. Anything that is good and
in constant use desn't need redeemang
1t is only the banks money, the prom.
Use to pay money, that is redeemed.
Neither is Uncle Sans full legal tender
money. The money is paid out to
redeem destroy the obligatory debts
and taxes.
Halloo, there, up at Headquarters,
Brother Turner and Taubeneck, consult
Webster or Worcester, and lean that
money is the redeemer and not the
redeemed.

A Horses Upper Lip.

1t is interesting to watch horse
while he is feeding, and observe how
he picks up his food, either in grazing
or when fed in the stable. How clever
ly the animal gathers in the choice hay
and rejects the waste, although he can
not see food directly under his mouth.
But the lip pushes away the unsuitable
part of the ration, and gathers with
the utmost precision that portion
which is selected. The upper lip is
constantly in motion, and by it's sense
of feeling separates the selected food
from that which is rejected. Those
who have seen this action of the lip
and realized its great sepsitiveness will
never commit the cruelty of putting a
twitch around the upper lip of horse
for any purpose whatever, Watch a
horse feeding in weedy pasture, and
it will be seen that this instinct of the
lip is brought into use In a most pecul-
lar manner, exhibiting to a marked
degree the great sensitiveness of the
delicate nerves of this organ.-N. Y

GOLD IN MINNESOTA.


The Recent Discovery of the Mineral MOI
Far from the Canadian Border.
The story of the discovery of gold
on the islands in Rainy lake, Minneso-
ia, not far from the Canadian boun-
Diary line, does not come as surprise
to old settlers of the Red river valley,
says the New York Evening Post, for
nearly ten years ago there was much
talk among them of new Ell Dorado
in that region. No gold was found,
however, until August of this year,
when a miner washed out pan of it
on an island in Rainy lake about a mile
south of the Canadian line. With fif-
teen years experience as a miner in
Colorado this prospector began an eX-
ploration of the Rainy lake country
last May, starting from Rat Portage as
soon as the ice was out of the Lake Of
the Woods. His equipments We're a
canoe weighing one hundred and
twenty-five pounds, the common nipple
ments of prospector, a heavy revolver
and a hunting knife. For weeks at a
time he did not meet a human being
and was obliged to trust entirely tc
the instinct of an explorer. At one
time he was completely lost in the will
derness, wandering blindly from lake
to river and from river to lake, the
face of that country being a network
of waterways. At the end of the fort
night he came out on the Dawson
route, which once extended from Port
Arthur far up into Manitoba. In old
days the route was used to convey sup
plies to the Hudson Bay company, and
also military post road. Then the
portages from lake to lake were care
fully cleared, and on each portage
were kept teams to transport the sup
plies. The building of the Canadian
Pacific made the old trail useless and
it is now abandoned. BY this time he
was some distance from Rainy lake,
his destination, and many miles north
of the boundary line, but the Dawson
route started him in the right direc
ton again. With the aid of an Indian
guide he reached at last the south
branch of the lake and then followed
along the shore. Finally, when he had
covered nearly half the distance on the
shore line, he came upon the tale for
nation for which he had been search
ing. In less than twentyfour hours
he found quartz rock. A lump was
crushed in a small mortar and the
fragments washed in pan. The re-
suit was the discovery of the first gold
in Minnesota. Whether it will pay to
mine the quartz is another matter. Com
missioner of the General Land Office
Lamoureux lately received report on
the gold discoveries in Minnesota from
special agent. who stated that he is
firmly convinced that the country in
the vicinity of Rainy lake is distinctly
a mineral country, unfit for any other
purpose. The evidence of gold is
deemed very rich, and the land has
been withdrawn from settlement.

How a Monkey Made Good Use of Billy
Like Policeman's Club.
''The most novel fight l ever wit
messed" remarked a traveller to a
writer for the Cincinnati Enquirer,
twas between bulldog and monkey,
down in Cuba A friend of mine had a
bulldog that had licked every canine
on the island, and he was very proud
of him. A gentleman from South
America said that he had monkey
that could whip the bulldog and the
owner of the latter laughed at the idea.
After some talk wager of five hundred
dollars was made and the only advan.
tage that the monkey was to have was
that he was to be allowed the privilege
of using baton, about the length of a
policeman's club, but not SO heavy.
The fight was in q public place, and in
a pit that was surrounded by an iron
grating. There was big crowd out
to see the fight. OF course everybody
thought the dog would chew up the
monkey. After few minutes, how
ever, the audience was surprised at
the sagacity displayed by the monkey.
The bulldog would make a rush
at the monkey, and the latter would
jump aside and allow the bulldog
to hit his head against the iron
gratings. This was kept up for twenty
minutes or more, and then the dog be
gan to get tired. The monkey began
to fight. He would let the dog make a
rush and then jump on the dogs back
and strike him several times with the
baton This was kept up for an hou,
or more, and finally the dog fell on the
floor completely exhausted, and the
monkey actually pounded him to death
The monkey would strike the dog sew
eral blows and then place his ear to
the canine to see if he still breathed
Finally the owner of the dog agreed tt
give mp the fight, but the owner of the
monkey told him that he was too late
as the monkey would not quit until he
had killed the dog. This was ono
of the peculiarities of the monkey
They always kill their victims. The
owner of the dog said he did not want
his dog killed, and insisted on taking
the monkey off. While they were talk
ing the monkey belted the dog several
times with his baton, placed his ear on
the dog, and with sudden jump
leaped on the shoulder of his owner
and commenced to use monkey Ian
guage. The dog was examined and
found to be dead. The people ap
plauded the victory of the monkey
and it looked as if the monkey under
stood it."
