THE MOVEMENT IS FORWARD

While in this country there is an ele-
silver sentiment, on the other side of the
Atlantic that sentiment is daily becoming
stronger. 1t is encouraging that bimetal-
lism in England numbers among its sup
porters many of the strongest men of the
country. Balfour, the leader of the OPP
position in the house of commons, is now
pronounced in his declaration in favor of
the monetary use of the two precious
metals. Statesmen and economists in
that country have met with change of
views. and it is not unlikely that in the
next parliamentary election the question
of the use of silver as medium of inter
national exchange Will be made promi
nent issue. Mr.. Balfour. in speech day
or two ago, asserted that demonstration
OF silver in India has proved miserable
failure.
England demonetized silver in 1916, and
she got along we'll until the United
States. Germany and the Latin union
followed in her wake. So long as nations
other than Great Britain used silver as
we'll as gold. the lnadequacy of the guam
tty of gold in the trade of the world was
not discovered. There seemed to be quite
enough for the use of Great Britain, but
the more silver became discarded the
more it became apparent that industry
and commerce were crippled through a
deficient volume of the international
medium of exchange. Every step taken
in limiting the monetary use of silver
pressed the poisoned links OF stringency
more excruciatingly into the flesh of the
masses.
Nothing has more illustrated the mad
equacy of the gold volume than the trepi-
daton created by the reported demand of
Japan that war indemnity from China
shall be paid in gold. The sum is sup
posed to be about $3.50, 900, 900, and yet
the anxious inquiry is, Where will China
procure it? To get it of any one nation
would swamp it financially. 1t would
TAKE IuOIe tlldH Ouc-udii buc SOlu III the
United States to meet such a demand.
England could not supply it without pro-
ducing great embarrassment, nor could
Germany or France, though the latter
country can do it better than any other.
When that small sum causes so much
anxiety and distrust, how clearly it APP
pears that gold as the sole measure of
value and medium of exchange is INSULT
cient for the tremendous volume of inter
national traffic, to say nothing OF the i'm
mensely greater domestic commerce.
The fall in prices of property and in
wages cannot longer be endured. Relief
must come. and the only relief is in an
enlargement of the volume of money.
The gold in the country is not sufficient
to carry on information al transactions,
and our domestic business is left to droop
and suffer in order to sustain the gold
theory, whose divinity rests upon its
scarcity, which enables the few possessors
to crush the life out of the masses.

RAILROAD NOTES.

The international and Great
Northern train was delayed 40
minutes in arriving this morning,
Major w. C. Lewis, the popular
assistant live stock agent of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe rail-
way, is in the city, telling his
friends of another record estab-
lished by his road in fast time. A
train Of thirteen cars of cattle left
Galveston at $40 p. m, March 81,
and arrived at Chicago at 5:35 a.
M, April 4, making the run in "a
hours and % minutes, 1,326.97
miles, or an average speed Of 1872
miles per hour from Galveston to

Price $500 a Year

the court had reached the conclu-
sion that the tax on rents was in
volved.
The chief justice then took up
the question of taxation OF NUM-
cipal and state bonds. The de-
cision was also adverse to this
part Of the law, as repugnant to
the constitution. On other points,
the court was divided and there
fore no opinion could be given.
Justice Field then read a dis
senting opinion, finishing soon af-
ter 2 O'clock. He said:
al am of the opinion that the
whole law Of 1894 is null and void"
He was followed by Justice
White, in a second dissenting
opinion.
Justice Field laid stress upon the
fact that the law does not exempt
judges Of the United States courts
from the payment OF the tax. 1t
was not right, he said, that the
Supreme court should remain
silent and make no protest,
when many United States judges
who were drawing small salaries
would be affected because Of the
law, and he called attention to a
letter once written by Chief Justice
Chase to the treasury officials pro-
testing against reduction Of the
income tax from the salaries Of
United States judges.
Justice Whites dissent was
largely extemporaneous and very
long. Apparently he favored up
holding the whole law.
Justice Harlan followed Justice
White in a dissenting opinion and
the case was closed.

AN OLD MISER DYING.
He has Planted HIS Immense Wealth
Away From Robbers.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April S.-John
Swim, a wealthy old man who had
tramped over many states, is dying
from a stroke Of paralysis at a
place a few miles from here.
Neither the mans age or the
amount OF his wealth are definitely
know, but it is believed he is near
the century mark. Much of his
money buried where it never will
be known except by accident.
Some years ago, while sleeping
in a fence corner, near KentOn,
Ohio, Swim was robbed Of $4,000,
and he had two men arrested. He
employed General Walker to pros
ecute the case. To demonstrate
that he had money, Swim exhibit
ed to his counsel roll of bills, the
total value OF which was $4,000.
He announced his intention OF
burying the treasure, and after the
men were arrested and discharged,
Swim wrote to General Walker,
saying the money had been plant
ed. Its hiding place is believed to
be at some point in Indiana, and
the old mans mind now is incapa-
BILE OF locating the spot.

Duck Hunters Drowned.

VICTORY, Wis, April S.--John
Haverly, Ole Everson and Earl
Wakefield, who lived near this
place, are supposed to have been
drowned in the Mississippi river.
They left home to hunt ducks and
were last seen by some rivermen
crossing the river in an old boat.
Their boat has been caught by some
boys and found to contain Haver-
Iy's gun. The river was dragged
for several miles and dynamite ex-
ploded in hopes Of raising the

GREAT KANSAS STORM.
SNOW COVERS THE TELEGRAPH
POLES.
Trains Having Tremendous Trouble
in Moving ard Great Suffer
ing Experienced.

DENVER, Col, April S.-Belated
travellers from the east report the
storm through Kansas as the worst
ever known in that section. Many
passenger trains are now more
than forty-eight hours late, bait
ling with the snow and sand on the
prairies.
Superintendent Bogard, OF the
Union Pacific, has large force Of
men cleaning the tracks.
In places within sixty or seven
ty-five miles of Denver, snow was
found in cuts from 30 to 40 feet
deep, being over the tops Of tele-
graph poles in many instances.
The Rock Island has experienced
more trouble, perhaps, than
any other line. The first train
from the east over this road in
sixty hours arrived today.
The Missouri Pacific, Kansas Pa
cific, a division of the Union Paci-
fic, and the Santa Fe are also much
hampered, but trains are getting
through on all the roads today.
Reports from Northern Colorado
and Wyoming are to the effect that
the wind and sand storm was so
fierce that men at work clearing
the way We're obliged to wear
coverings for their faces, the sand
cutting even through their clothes
and decorating their bodies.
The loss on range stock in
eastern Colorado, it is said, will
amount to a 90 per cent total.
Many cattle drifted into Hugo,
Colorado, and persisted. They had
been driven before the wind from
the north over 100 miles.

CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.

Written for the LIGHT.
The Sunday LIGHT was pleas
ant surprise to tho people and was
greeted with a hearty welcome.
AS many men and women have no
leisure for reading, except on Sun
day, the Morning LIGHT will be a
perfect godsend to them.
Keep it up and strive to make
each number surpass its predeces-
sors in variety and excellence, and
the people are bound to have the
Sunday LIGHT to instruct and
cheer them.
A huge blanket Of Sunday
newspaper, with scarcely anything
that is worth reading in it causes
one to look on Sunday papers as
Illustrations of "bloated promise
and lank performance"
The Sunday LIGHT was a daisy
and no mistake.
Working men and women read
the Sunday papers, and they nat
urally desire to find in its columns
matter instructive and amusing.
AS a general thing, Sunday news
papers are disappointing and dull,
because they give up so much
space to society twaddle, and the
reader is perpetually
Stunned and worn out with endless
chat,
OF viii did this and Nan did that"
Then too much space is monopo-
liked by the prattle Of small boys
and girls, whose minds are not
ripe enough to bear fruit. This
feature in Sunday papers, is fast
becoming a full grown nuisance to
adult readers. If few men and
women are capable OF writing read
able articles, which are instructive
and entertaining, how can boys
and girls be expected to write read
able letters?
The Sunday LIGHT will prove a
success.
The city daddies owe it to them
selves to throw light on the sewer
contract question and to determine
whether Hindry is the con-
tractor, or whether the par
ties to whom, it is said, he
sublet the contract, are the con-
tractors. Will the city pay the
sum which it agreed to pay Mr..
Hindry, to the sub.contra tors, and
allow Hiudry to receive bonus
from the ub.contractors, or de-
clare that Hindry has forfeited his
contract and award it to the par
les who made the lowest bid?
1t is incumbent on the Council to
tep out Of the chapparal and show
where it stands in this matter. The
,eople are entitled to full ex-
,lanation and they expect to re-
Give it from the city fathers.
1t is not to be presumed that the
ouncil has anything to conceal or
over up, or that the aldermen
ave private "axes to grind"

Hoons Have Arrived.

Two young ladies attracted attention
at the Waldorf today, not because they

on account of their walk. They st1utted
about with an ungraceful movement of
their faring skirts suggestive of a
lameness which was alike in both AS
this could hardly be possible the in
quisitive ones who noticed them sought
an explanation from friendly femi-
nine. And what do you think was the
matter? Why, hoopskirts That walk
is caused by the wearing of hoops, F"
smilingly explained the lady, land
hoops will soon be proper form too.
When the modistes tried to force hoops
on us few years ago, we We're not
