a WET NOVEMBER
And an Early Relief from Water Famines
Promised.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Prof Willis
L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau,
says that the storm now extending
over the country marks the end of the
great drought, and millions of BUSH
els of grain and freight so long de-
aayed in the rivers, canals and lakes
may soon be expected to move to mar
ket The present storm alone is not
relied upon SO supply all the relief
needed. but the conditions are such as
to indicate that a succession of similar
heavy rains will follow closely upon
days until a high stage of water is Sc
cured throughout the country. The
prospects for wet n november are very
promising.

The cold Reserve.

Secretary Carlisle has been quoted
lately as saying that there will prob
ably be no necessity for. the issue Of
bonds If he said so he is right. There
has been no necessity for issuing bonds
since the second advent of Mr.. Cleve-
land as president Money has been
borrowed, not to pay government ex-
penses, but to maintain a redemption
fund in idleness. 1.-THE way to ro-
sumo is to resume" said the late
Horace Greeley. The way to redeem
is to redeem with the redeeming
agency on hand. The mass of the
people are satisfied with the paper.
They prefer it, in fact. They do not
want gold. Perhaps $40. 00O, 600 or
$50, 600, 600 of gold will be enough for
the gentlemen who have a speculative
turn of mind. IF that is not enough
let them have SIS, COO, 900 or $50, 00O, 600
more before we get excited about the
condition of the reserve. The practice
of keeping large pile of gold in the
treasury for the mere purpose of pro-
noting the bond policy, and giving
capitalists and syndicates control of
the financial management, is getting
tiresome. Cincinnati Enquirer.

SILVER BONDS.

The Market Price as Compared WI tn Colo
Bonds In Mexico-Silver ON the Up
Grade.
The San Francisco Bulletin calls at
tention to the rise of Mexican silver
bonds and makes some excellent points
in SO doing. It says: Mexican silver
5per cent. bonds are quoted in Euro
pean markets at 80 cents. Gold bonds
bearing 6 per cent interest are 81
cents. In reference to these quotations
the Chronicle considers them an evil
dence of increasing prosperity in
Mexico. If Mexico were not fairly
prosperous her bonds would not ad-
vance in value, but her prosperity does
not account for the narrow margin
between gold and silver bonds. If
Mexico were the richest and most pros
porous country in the world her silver
bonds would be paid in silver. As it
is, she is rich enough to pay her gold
bonds in gold. The extent Of cred.
itor's resources beyond an ability to
pay his debts does not affect the mar
ket value of his obligations A multi
millionaire only pays dollar for dollar.
Silver S per cents. at 80 cents on the
dollar are but little below gold 6 per
cents at 81 cents. Mexican silver dol
lars, in which the silver bonds are pay
able, are worth but about 81 cents in
the market Yet the silver bond cam
not be valued at less than 90 cents, in
view of the difference OF per cent. in
the rate of interest between gold and
silver bonds Whether we are to at
tribute the high price of silver bonds
in Europe to belief that silver will
soon rise to par with gold is ques-
ton for financial experts to consider.
Certainly the rise in silver bonds to a
point considerably in excess of the
present value of silver bullion in the
market is at least an indication that
silver is on the up grade
This leads the Los Angeles Express
to remark that silver is on the up
grade and SO is bimeta1lism, because
recommendation is illogical and an abb
normal condition of affairs that cannot
last. The rise of the Mexican silver
bonds proves also that the country is
progressing materially under silver
currencV.

nevertheless the laborer loses nothing
because he can buy more with his gold
than he could if he were paid in silver.
The fa1lacy of this idea, however, be-
comes self-evident when it is seen that
in gold countries the wage-earner re-
ceives relatively less money. measured
by what he can buy, than he does in
silver countries It is a notable fact
that while in the United States the
consumption of wheat per capita has
fallen nearly two bushels per annum,
it has risen in Mexico and other silver
countries 1t is also worthy of note
that while the manufacturers in Mex
leo are rapidly increasing, and the
condition of the people is improving
daily. that the exact opposite of this has
taken place in this country. While goods
are certainly cheaper in the United
States than ever before, their consump-
ton has fallen of, and the demand
for them has greatly decreased. 1t is
evident that the Mexicans with their
silver are q BILE to purchase more than
Americans with gold, even though
wages are lower in Mexico than in the
United States compared on the same
monetary basis. Mr.. McVey's table of
the cost and stability of wages in the
United States from 1860 to 1891 shows
that while the purchasing power of
currency was IS per cent lower in 1865
than it was in 1850. yet the currency
wages were so per cent. higher, and
this, be it remembered, was at time
when q gold dollar was worth two and

EDITORIAL NOTES.
And Other Matters Of Interest
to the Readers Of the
Courier.

The most common mistake of
many people is talking against facts.
The innocence of ignorance is sell
dom more conspicuous than when
people blandly ask: 'Do you think
that women will ever get the suf-
frsge7" And yet every intelligent
observer of human affairs know that
the women have the suffrage in
countries representing 100000
square miles Of territory and popu-
lation of 35o,ooo,ooo, says the Min
neapolis Times. In Great Britain,
for example, women vote tor all elect
i've Offices excepting members Of
parliament. In France they vote for
members of all boards of education.
They vote likewise in Norway and
Sweden. Women vote in Ireland
for harbor boards, poor law guard
ians, and in some cities for municipal
officers. Even in Russia they vote
for elective officers and on all local
matters. And in tar-off Hindoostan
they have right of suffrage in NUM-
cipalities. The list Of countries
representing ali grades of civilization
and forms of religion where women
are endowed with the right of suf-
frage covers over 20. In New Zea-
land woman suffrage rules every
thing. In our country 28 states
have given women limited suffrage.
In Wyoming women have voted on
the same terms with men since 1870,
and yet some people are forever ask
ing: "Do you think that women will
ever get the suffrage?" The world
keeps moving while the neglect to
inform themselves. They wonder
if something is coming when to a
large extent it has already come.

Yesterday was memorial day, the
day set apart by the nation for fitting
ceremonies over the graves of loved
ones who have gone to that "borne
from which no traveller returns"
and particularly for the purpose Of
decorating the graves of the nations
dead-the dead heroes who gave
their lives for their country. The
day set apart is indeed praise
worthy idea, but alas, how the
present generation abuse the ideas
for which this day was set apart.
Instead of observing the day as bring
ing to mind the memories of the
dead, it is now observed as a gala
day, as though the people were glad
these brave soldiers were laid be-
meath the sod. Just pick up a news
paper and read the program for
memorial day exercises. What do
you read? A procession of G. A. R.
veterans headed by band playing
martial music march to the cemetery
and there over the graves Of their
heroic dead they tell of the deeds Of
valor accomplished by their dead
comrades, and fire a salute over the
graves. Thus far the old veterans
have done we'll. But when these
obligations have been fulfilled what
follows. The people have adver-
tised base ball game, and wind up
the day with grand ball. Is that
fitting observance OF the day set a.
part for the purpose of honoring the
memory of the heroic dead? We
think not, and we are led to exclaim
mockery, hollow mockery.

therefore. that she was disguised and
