equally is necessary to establish u

to congress to coin money and regu-
late the value thereof. Congress
adj opted silver and gold rs money. 1t
then proceeded to fix the unit. That
is, it then fixed what should consti.

the mathematician did when he fixed
one figure from which all others should

"They had fought eight long years
for their independence from British
domination in this country, and when
They had seen the last rcd.coat leave
our shores, they settled down to es-
tablish Il permanent government, and
among the first thingsthcy did was to
make 37l4 grains of pure silver the

Herce dimes, quarters and half dol

"Gold was made money. but it's value

gold was fixed at IL to | and after.
ward TO 16 to |. So that in making
gold coins their relative weight was
regulated by this rating.
"This continued to be the law up to
1873. During that long period, the
unit OF values was never changed and

advised DR.. Hoyt to be at the depot

the supposed smallpox case.
DR.. H0yt wired the conductor of the
train at Hastings to keep all eye on the
lad and not let him get away, but when
the train pulled into the union depot the
conductor informed DR.. Hoyt that the
boy had jumped from the train in the
yards. A visit was made to the number
given in the telegram on Kent street.
but search showed there was no house
with that number or no family by that
name living in the neighborhood.
The directory was consulted and a
family by the name of Bowman given
as living at $50 Selby avenue. A call
by DR.. Hoyt at the number mentioned
resulted in finding the supposed small
box case fiction. The lad was sent to
Lake City to secure the services of a
dressmaker. and, as he explained it
when confronted by the doctor, he
thought he would receive sympathy and

smallpox story.

EX-GOV. MGILL TALKS.

at All Hazards

at All Hazards.
Minneapolis Evening Tribune.
EX-Gov. McGilI states that some of
the reports of the st. Paul Republican
convention yesterday entirely miscon-
ceived the situation, as his name was
connected with it, and especially where
the result was represented to have been
the success of Mr.. Doran over himself.
He says that the result he and his
friends aimed at was the defeat of the
''silk-stockings' and the Pioneer Press
programme, in which they were emf
nentiy successful; that the movement
for Rogers toward the close was not by
the governors friends. and did not
represent any of his strength. but OH
the contrary his friends went to Doran.
1t was understood that the campaign OH
the governors part was to he at an end
when it was apparent that the candi-
date opposed to the Pioneer Press plan
was certain of defeat. Further, the
governor said:
81 have at no time desired the nomi-
nation for myself, but did want to see it
go to some friend. Mr.. Doran is that
man. He was pposed by those who
did not want me, and was nominated by
my friends. He is good man, and l
am more than satisfied. What should l
want to be mayor for? Nothing. The
intimation that wanted it as stepping
stone to Gov. Nelson's place is the most
arrant nonsense. Gov. Nelson is my
friend, and l would be the last man in
the state to oppose his denomination.
He has made most excellent governor,
