For me no dirges musical,
No brass on the cathedral wall
All things are your memorial
The wind 1pthrobbing from the shore
Is Like your footstep on the hoor,
Is like your hand upon the door.
A silent presencs ever near,
Round books your fingers touched last year
A subtle, ghostly atmosphere.
Your organ studies, strange they look
The lesson marked you never took,
Your writing In my birthday book.
All token dumb, importunate,
All hfeless things that seem 10 walt
For your returning. An, how late
And now. In Memory's Hades gray,
Where life and death Join hands Away,
watch with you, by night, By day.
Even as stand, pledge my faith,
trust you while I draw my breath,
trust you in the gates Of death.

Two breakers on . soundless sea
Gods pity, love, on you and me

The recent failure of the populist
leaders at their meetings in Aberdeen
and Huron to effect fusion OF the state
tickets Is a matter OF congratulation to
the people of the state as a whole, il for
no other reason than al object lesson on
the purity of politics and the triumph OF
principle. The democratic leaders in
this case showed themselves above
temptation of "the lust Of Office" They
we're true TO the stand taken by their
party representatives in convention as
sembled at Sioux Falls, who took the
most polite stand for principle OF any
democratic convention ever held in the
state. They declared against fusion,
enunciated a manly declaration OF prin-
ciples and put up clean ticket by which
they determined to stand o. fall. And
now the party servants whether on COM
mittee or ticket, determine to stand by
that action and resist the attempted
rape of their honor by populist leaders
But what can be said OF these populist
leaders who have thus prostituted them.
selves, their party and principle to such
attempted barter? Office appears to be
their only itch, and for it they sell out
their deluded followers, their 81 called
principles and pride Ut reform. II
seems hardly conceivable that any con
siderable number OF voters, intelligent
or unintelligent, could be long deludec
into following such willis -wisps anG
call it sanity. Having failed in tho
effort to capture anything state or ma
tional on the ticket these schemers will
now turn their attention to trading of
nominees on their county tickets in
order to secure the Legislative elections
A dozen of them have their lightning
rods up for the United States senator
ship and it by any ~unprincipled deals
they a in any manner c nj control ol
the legislature they are going TO do it
Voters, watch them, and become mol
merchantable chattels yourselves.

In I702 d code OF laws for the estab-
lishment and regulation of the mint
was adopted, and under this code, with
slight changes, the coinage OF the Unit
ed States was struck for Az years.
Eagles, half eagles and quarter eagles Of
gold, dollars, half dollars, quarter dol
lars, dimes and half dimes of silver and
cents and half cents Of copper were the
coins minted. Ii was also enacted that
the dollar should be considered the unit
of federal money, and all accounts were
ordered to be kept in accordance with
the decimal system ON which the coinage
was based. In conformity with the pro-
visions of the mint laws, the Bank Of
Maryland, on July Is, 1874, deposited
at the mint $50, 715 worth of French
coinage to be recoined into federal mon
ey, and ON Oct. 10 of the same year the
first lot OF dollars was finished and de-
livered. There were /, 1858 coins in the
lot. The ratio established between gold
and silver by tshe early mint regulations,
under which these coins were struck,
was 15 to /. The silver dollar was OF
S92.4 thousandths fineness and weighed
416 grains.
TIC will be observed that it took the
federal government q long time to get
down TO the actual coinage Of money.
The question was one that excited
merely q languid interest in congress,
and it was urged against the project
that the maintenance of a mint would
be a serious drain upon the Of
the federal treasury. Had it not oc-
CURED that those unusually persistent
political enemies, Hamilton and Jeffer-
son, joined forces In favor OF the mint IL
lie likely that its establishment would
have been even longer delayed. The
first goldpieces were struck in 1895,
and gold was coined from that time ON
continuously for years. For some rea-
son, however, the silver dollar failed to
circulate freely, and i'm 1904 their coin
age was suspended until 1880, when
1000 were struck. No more were coined

Rural Northwest: The low price OF
wheat has hurt the English farmers very
severely as we'll as those in other portions
of the world. The average yield OF
wheat in England is about 30 bushels
per acre and twenty years ago this would
bring $50 or more. Now it is hard to get
$50 returns for an acre and the charges
for rent and fertilizers are heavy. An
English expert says that the present
conditions mean "wheat to pigs and
agriculture to dogs"
