Brer. Stone OF the Hawarden Inde-
pendent remarks that the editor of
The COURIER has experienced great
deal OF relief over the defeat of the
income tax in the supreme court.
There is an old adage which reads in
substance that men who live in glass
houses should not throw stones at his
neighbors. Simply because The Cou-
RIER has larger circulation than the
Independent and that We change our
socks and wash our face once or twice
a year oftener than Stone is no oc-
casiOn for him to think that we
breathe easier in consequence OF the
defeat of the income tax. While We
are considering the advisability of
suing the author of the novel written
by citizen OF Hawarden for dam.
ages done to the crops in Union
county, still We are resting SO easily
over the supreme courts decision that
Brer. Stone can tell his next door
neighbor that we will not bring the
suit. We will forego that pleasure
upon his promising that he will never
write another novel

This Is the Way We Stand.

The editor OF the Chamberlain Jour-
nal has seen fit to place The COURIER
in a list OF newspapers which he de-
clares favor the free coinage of silver
for this cOuntry-unlimited and wide
open to the world. Certainly the class
itication of The COURIER made BY Ed
itor Lafollette has no foundation so far
as any statement, published or spoken,
may be concerned, and we are inclined
to think it is prescriptions on his part
to SO place The COURIER We have
spent some time IN trying to arrive a,
some conclusion upon the silver ques-
ton, and finally have an opinion which
We are not afraid to state. In the first
place. We wish for an hpnest currency,
and sound one. We are too conserva-
tive entirely to favor any scheme which
would in the least bring disaster to the
nations financial standing, or which
would place us at disadvantage as a
commercial nation. Fundamentally,
we want dollar that is a dollar the
world over. TO secure that is first and
foremost in our mind so far a. ones in
huence can extend. With that as a
basis we still believe that q great wrong
was committed, unknowingly, too,
when silver was demOnetized in this
and in other countries. In our humble
opinion there is not enough gold to
transact the business of the world. The
enormous increase in the last thirty
years OF business railroads built,
steamship lines constructed, new coun-
tries opened, the development OF the
west-of Africa, Australia, India, Ar
gentine, Russia and Japan must have
tripled. maybe quadrupled, the bust
ness demands Of the world, yet gold has
but little more than doubled in its pro-
duction- With gold as the ultimate re-
deemable money it has worked wrong
in that it has appreciated in value, and
that means lower prices we are in
clined to think. With these facts STAR
ing us in the face we believe the great
est benefit TO the world would come in
the free coinage of silver-to the world
mind you.
The United States has today, it is

said, $500, 0O0, 900 in gold-one-seventh
Of the worlds supply-in money. Can
we stand alone and shy that all the sill
yer shall be coined at the ratio of is to
|? How long could we stand the strainY
There is produced 500, COZ, 600 annually
Of silver. Surprising we should take it
all. In ten years We would have dou-
bled our currency. Instead OF two
billions, we would have four: instead OF
$24 per capita it would be $i8. 1t would
BIZ even more, for the ultimate bant-
ruptcy which would surely be reached
would place an impetus on the produc-
ton OF LIVER, and every mine owner in
the world would he working night and
day TO make his output AS great as he
could that he might get the govern
,nent stamp on his metal before the
minis were closed.
So we say the free coinage OF silver
is worldwide blessing, but nationally
we are too weak to correct the money
system OF the world, and while the out
look is not encou' aging, the time will
come when the masses Of England and
Germany will awaken to the fact that
free coinage means tightening Of the
burdens of the nineteenth century, and
blessing for The poor not to he meas
ured in less than the superlative de.
gree.
So it is that we hope for the day Of
free coinage in the world, but fear the
consequences II an attempt is made ON
the part Of the United States to correct
the entire money system OF the earth.

that; but the senator even goes 30 far as
to pledge his state for Mr.. Davis when
his state has not yet been heard from on
that subject. Anent his visit to St.
Paul the Pioneer Press says:
The senator is an ardent admlrer and
strong supporter OF Senator Davis for
the presidency, and he is of the opinion
that the South Dakota delegation will
be for Davis from start to finish. Sena-
tor DAVIS Is far from a stranger to the
people Of South Dakota, for thousands
OF the South Dakotans have heard him
speak when he made a tour in that state
less than a year ago. Senator Pettigrew
called upon Senator Davis yesterday and
spent considerable time IN talking over
matters which were of mutual interest
to them. Senator Pettigrew has been
called a silver man, bnt 1t is contended
that he Is not radical IN his views, and
that he believes that the settlement Of
the financial question by the republican
party will be both satisfactory TO the
people as we'll as Of great benefit TO the
entire country. 1t remains only to give
this party an opportunity to enact
proper legislation to bring about these
results.

For, as concerning football playing: !

Secretary Carlisle and his treasury
officials have been concerned somewhat
about Sovereign's order for the boycott
OF national bank notes and its probable
effect upon the country, but he has come
to the conclusion that no serious results
will follow. His conclusion was based
upon the figures in regard to the %circula-
ton of national bank notes. The amount
of these outstanding June l, 1895, was
only $2O6, 579,490, and Of this amount
about S2O,OOO,OOO, is held by bankers.
National bank notes have never been
made legal tender by statute, so that 1T
is true tina. it would be impossible to
force n person to force them in in
dlvidual transactions. They are, how
ever, available for use by the govern
ment in the payment Of all it's obliga-
tions except for interest OF the public
debt and the redemption Of national cur
rency. They are also receivable by the
government, under section 5lS2, as taxes,
excuses, for public lands and for all obi
cations due the government except
duties on imports. Section 5l96 pro-
vides that national banks are compelled
to accept these notes as legal tender.

IN MEXICO
Defauiting Treasurer Rowe of
PoWeshiek County, la,
Under Arrest.
MAY YET ESCAPE EXTRACTION
Although in the Country but a
Few Months, He Is Now
a Citizen.

CHICAGO. July 23.-ChesterW Rowe,
the defaulting cashier Of Poweshiek
county, Ia, is under arrest in the City
Of Mexico, and a large part Of the $780,
900 which he made away with has
been attached by Pinkerton operatives
and will likely be returned to the coun-
ty from which it was taken. Richard
Rowe, brother of the absconder, is also
under arrest as al accomplish. Rowe
disappeared April 20, and since that
time the most thorough search has
failed to locate him. Several times
the officers thought they had q clue,
but investigation has proved them of
no value. Rowe and his brother at
the tine of the arrest were conducting
q saloon in the City of Mexico, and,
it is said, were making money fast.
Has Become a Mexican.
1t is somewhat doubtful whether
either of the brothers can be taken
back to Iowa for trial. Requisition
papers were honored by the state de-
partment at Washington and forwarded
to Mexico as fast as possible. They
were locked up, but when it came te
extraditing them the detective found
himself blocked. Under the Mexican
law a foreigner may go there, renounce
all allegiance to the country from
whence he came, become q Mexican
citizen and thus avoid extradition
Rowe had taken advantage Of this law,
although he had only been in the City
of Mexico about three weeks. As a re-
suit, there is likely to be a hot lega
cantest in which the United States gov
eminent will probably play q promi
nent mart.

Cincinnati Girl Thrusts Dozens OF Needles
Into Her LeGa.

Cincinnati Girl Thrusts Dozens Of Needles
Into Her Legs.
CINCINNATI, July PA well dressed
lady applied at the Cincinnati hospital
for admission. She presented q letter
from the mother superior Of the con.
vent where the young lady had resided.
The letter said the bearer, Miss Nellie
Thomas, had been employed at the
convent some time and was suffering
from swollen legs and feet. Nothing
except the symptoms referred to in the
letter was found in the preliminary ex-
animation, but later it was decided to
lance the feet, when it was found the
limbs and feet were embedded with
pins and needles. Forty-one needles
were extracted from her body and she
tions. It is thought others will be
found. The physicians believe that
blood poison will set in and the case, fin
any event,
May Prove Hopeless.
The girl protested, until after the oper-
alto us, that she could not tell how her
feet and limbs became embedded with
these needles, but finally she said she
had been at the convent of the Good
Shepherd for several years. She was
an orphan and alone in the world. Dur
ing her stay there she had done
wrong. Not once, but persistently.
She had done that which she knew was
not right, and for every sin she had
committed she had done penance by
thrusting a needle into II of her legs.
She explained that each operation had
caused her a~gonizing pain, and that at
times the operations were almost I'M
bearable, but she felt she must bear
the pain as a recompense for the sin
committed.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR O
Planks Made of Cork WIN BE Used In the
New ShipS.

Several months ago the board OF in
spection ard survey Of the navy depart-
ment was directed to make an investiga-
ton with q view Of obtaining some rac-
tical substitute for wood i'll fitting naval
vessels. The desire for q substitute was
the fact that a lighter material was
wanted if possible, that would not
take so much space in the vessel, and
more than anything else a material that
would not splinter.> 1t was also desira-
BILE to have a noncombustible substance.
The board has made a report to the
secretary of the navy, and some Of its
recommendations have been adopted by
him, and it is probable that several Of
the new ships will be fitted with the
new material as a substitute for wood.
One of the best materials which has
been found by the board is a wood sub
stitute composed of waste cork. This Is
subjected to 400 degrees Of heat, and it
is her pressed into blocks of any re-
uuired size. 1t can be sawed into thin
strips or handled very much as wood is
handled. Cork has a gum which great
heat melts and CLUES its PARTICLES to-
gether in a compact mass. After being
pressed it sticks together as tightly as
if it had grown that way. The cork
boards may be made heavy or light, as
wanted. Some of the lighter kinds are
used in the walls of refrigerators. 1t
is a nonconductor and can scarcely be
made to burn. This material is used in
the place of wood in German vessels.
Commander Bradford, who made the
search and examination of this particu-
lar substitute, found that the Germans
