THE BOND ISSUE.

The objection raised by the Knights
of Labor to the proposed bond issue
by the treasury department is that
the bonds are not being sold for the
purpose of obtaining gold to reduce
the greenbacks. and therefore the is
sue will be illegal, because the pro-
ceeds therefrom will be used to defray
the expenses of the government. In
directly this statement is correct.
Primarily the bonds are issued to
make good the reserve in the
federal treasury, which is
now but little above S60,000,-
600, and which by the time the bonds
are issued will not be likely to show
very heavy margin above fifty mil
lions. But no one pretends that out
side of making the reserve good, the
condition of the treasury will be IN
any way di- erent than it is at pre-
sent. In fact with the Wilson re-
venue deficiency bill looming up, and
likely to go into effect, with the pros
pect of good sized deficiency, even
though the senate should pare it
down somewhat, treasury matters
will continue much the same or
worse for some time to come. But a
few days will elapse before the slight
margin of gold which the bonds will
bring, over and above the reserve
fund, will be exhausted, and the in
vasion Of the reserve will again COM
mence, and it is ouly question of
time when Mr.. Carlisle will have to
repeat his bond issue. SO that Indirect
ly the secretary is simply selling the
bonds to get money to defray the
actual expenses Of the government.
But what else can he do? A party in
power lacking every capacity for
handling the affairs of government in
business like manner, has declined
or neglected to do anything to help an
equally competent administration out
Of the hole it has gotten into, so it
must put itself under cover Of an act
for raising funds for another pur-
pose. The Minneapolis Times says
it is the aim of Democracy to get the
government back to the standard of
Democratic days, and it is indeed
floating there with fearful rapidity.
The experience Of the present gen.
Grafton with Democratic control OF
the government is proving most
costly.

LA GRIPPE BOOK FREE.
Sent POSTPAID During February--Be
Quick and Get One.

Nearly every body is having la grippe
nowadays, but, what is still more un-
fortunate, large per cent. of those
afflicted with this epidemic instead Of
getting well, as they ought to, will
have chronic catarrh as the result.
This is almost invariably the case IN
less Pe-ru-na is taken as soon as posi-
BILE after la grippe begins. Every one
who has observed the effect of Peru
Ma during the last three epidemics OF
la grippe positively knows that this
remedy will cure it permanently. The
fact is, however, that a great multi
tude of people will not take Pe-ru-na,
and the foundation for chronic catarrh
will be laid. Here. again, Pe-ru-na is
the only reliable remedy. Even in ca
seS that the chronic catarrh has af-
fected the lungs and the early stages
of catarrhal consumption have been
developed, Pe-ru-na can be relied up-
on do prompt and lasting cure. La
grippe aud catarrh are at present the
two greatest enemies of life in the
land. Pe-ru-na is cure for either. =

THE Winona Republican brings out

THE Winona Republican brings out
Capt. S. R. Van SAINT, of that city, as
a candidate for the department COM
mander Of the G.. A r. of Minnesota,
and says he would be good man for
the place. The FREE PRESS endorses
this sentiment, and hopes to see the
captain chosen for that position. He
is genial, pleasant man to meet, an
enthusiastic worker in grand army
circles, and untiring in his efforts to
secure for the unfortunate veterans
those comforts which will relieve the
hardships gathering around them in
declining years. There are many old
soldier boys in this "neck o. the woods"
who would like to see Capt. Van SAINT
elevated to the dignified position of
department commander, and will do
what they can to help him. Nor are
his friends confined to the member
ship of the grand army posts. He has
many friends outside who wish him
success, and if they could bring any
influence to bear, it would place him
in this honorable position without
question.

THE Chicago Inter Ocean, that
great Republican newspaper, has not
suffered by the recent era of financial
depression but has gone right along
adding to its foundation stones-a
large and substantial circulation
with p stride that under the circum-
stances is truly wonderful. At one
time additions to the subscription list
were coming at the rate of 800 to
LOO per day for the daily issue, and
as high as 500 per day for the Weekly
Inter Ocean.
The result of this is to place it easily
at the head Of the list Of great Chi
cago newspapers. 1t is certainly a
good, clean, family newspaper of the
highest order.

DE CAREFUL.

The Alba Haywood troup plays at
the opera house tonight. From a
source wholly reliable it is learned
that all the scenery necessary to q
proper rendition of their play instead
of being used here was sent direct to
Oklahoma City. We do not under
stand why this should have been
done unless Ardmofe was not consid-
cred of sufficient Importance to justify
them in giving full rendition or
their pay. The Ardmoreite believes
that our people are entitled to the
best. They are always very liberal
in their patronage but quick to drop
anything that smacks of jingoisn.
If it Dc true that this is only a sawed
off portion of the complete Alba
Haywood performance, and we have
every reason to believe it is, then the
Ardmore lovers of theatrical enter
tainments should be conspicuous by
their absence tonight. If they can't
give us their best then they should
not give any.

YALEN TINE SALAl,.


The Valentine Salad last night at
the residence OF Dr. Avis, was q
magnificent success, both socially and
financially.
The spacious pArlors, Railways, and
in fact every room in the building,
were thronged with jubilant youth,
mirthful young, ladies and gentlemen
and sedate womanhood and their past
accepted valentines.
The program for the evenings ex
ercise had been arranged with care
full thought and with view to the
enjoyment of all present.
The first act was that of drawing
for your-valentine, which was very
amusing. The tickets were heart
shaped and numbered, each number
having a duplicate. The numbers
were called in rotation, and the hold
ers stepped forward aud acknowl-
edged themselves bound for the even
ing.
Next came the reading of the pro-
gram by Rev. Frank Naylor. He paid
especial attention to the art display
up stairs, for the sight of which 10
cents extra was charged!
Without depreciating the favor
with which the entire proceedings
were received, the reporter must say
the art feature was the most unique
aud at the same time MOST instructive.
1t consisted OF appropriate psrodies
on famous paintings by master hands.
For instance the bridal scene was
represented by a common, everyday
bride hanging on the wall. The col
lection consisted of about fifty siIni-
lar representations.
The dining-room, where the re-
freshments were served, was the lead
ing point of attraction, and was Wis
tied in squads OF ten couples at 9
time.
1t was purely an affair OF hearts
The cakes were hearts, the tides
were hearts, the valentines were
hearts, aud the young ladies were
leart-breakers.
The selections from celebrated
authors, read by Mrs. F. e. Barry
was a novel feature. The quotations
were read and the one naming the
author was entitled to the souvenir
There were many wild gucsses and {
remarkably few correct ones. Master
Andy Gardenhire carried away th'
prize, handsome cake, he having
made four correct answers. Mis-
