is the most severe that has
visited Chicago for many years. N
noon the wind was blowing at the rate
Of seventy miles an hour with indi"a-
tons that the storm would continue
through the night with the coolest
weather of the wear. All incoming
trains were from an hour to two hours
late and the roads we're full of fine,

Michigan was la-hcd into fury and the
waves rushed over the hrcakwatcr and
swept clear across the Illinois Central
Railway tracks into Lake Front Park.
50 severe was the storm that at the
public schools only about onc-third Of
the pupils were present. At many Of
the schools, teachers were absent as
we'll as scholars. At the Hammond
School but - pupils were present out OF

showed a similar condition.
Business at the stock wards was prac-

All of the mail trains coming into

A BOND issue for buying gold when
gold can be drawn out of the treasury
on demand, is q most ingenious de-
vice to enable the taxpayers of the
country to pay interest on their own
money. FlnRuceung has seldom
made a higher flight than this.-New
York World.
The above states the case in nut
shell. The government Of the United
States proposes to increase the ma
tional debt $4,000 for the purpose Of
securing that amount of gold. That
would be bad enough, but that is not
the worst, because the government
does not even get what it bargains
for. The very gold which is paid in
at one counter for bonds is taken ont
over another counter by presenting
treasury notes for redemption. The
government is simply being forced to
furnish an Investment for the idle
money of capitalists, and the tax pay
ers are compelled to foot the bills.
There is no maintainance of credit
about the deal, Omaha WOrld-Her0ld
