came out and begged me to withdraw,

1 told him that. political preferment was

almost angry and insisted. I won't do it

Some Significant Figures.
HE showed me some figures which
struck me as being remarkably significant
and believe that 1t would be good thing
for you to follow what I say and get the
figures. He took the treasury statement
of May 1, 1895. showing the amounts of
gold. of silver certificates of United States
notes and national hank notes in circula-
ton on that date. There were sS9,954, 140
in gold in the treasury, and against this
were $323, O0O, 00O-in round numbers we
viii taik-of silver certificates, nearly N22,-
United States notes. and s37,00,000 of cur
rency certificates. He showed that the
total obligations which the government
had outstanding were s79S, 40, 6S5. against
redemption fund. or about II cents on the
dollar. Then he took the national bank
statement for April 6, 1895, and showed
that their circulation was $204, $50, 225, and
that the Individual deposits We're Sl,G67,-
S43, 2S6.2S which was offset by the pos
session by the banks of 500, $50, 575.3S in
gold, or less than cents on the dollar
to redeem their obligations with on gold
basis.
Our Present Policy.
''Those are pretty prodigious figures"
said the governor. when you come to look
them over. They are worth studying. 1t
was all very well to talk about sound
money DelhS based on commence, ana all
that sort of stuff. 1t may please the poll
tician and satisfy the fellows who follow
their immediate leadership. but the think
ing man will want to know what is going
to happen In the future when the payment
of those debts Is demanded. So far as the
treasury balance is concerned why, that is
borrowed ney,anyhow. I tell you 1t is a
pretty sickening thing to an American who
loves his country to see the attitude in
which our financial managers are placed.
They are at the mercy of a few foreign and
still fewer American bankers. All that
stands between the treasury and depletion
Is the promise Of these foreigners and one
or two New Workers that they will keep
their hands off the gold reserve for in
definite period. That is a fine state Of af
fairs, isn't it?
Cause of the Conditions.
''The present conditions" he continued,
have been brought about by the treas Try
mistakes of the last three administrations.
The republicans have been just as much to
blame as the democrats. There was Dan
Manning, newspaper man, for instance,
brought down to manage the financial end
OF the government, of which he knew abso-
lGtely nothing. The great mistake has been
N treating silver as a mercantile COM
modify, piling 1t up in the treasury IN the
shape of bullion and issuing certificates

Striking Grant Through Shepherd.
81 knew why the shafts were leveled at
me- 1t was not Aleek Shepherd they were
after. it was Grant. They thought they
could wound him by Strengthening me. Dom
Piatt told me story once about old Sena-
tor Thurman. He said that while Thur
man was conducting an investigation into
my affairs, that he, Piatt, asked him what
he really thought of me. Thurman said,
Shepherd is not only mighty good smart
fellow, but he is straight one, too Dom
said he asked Thurman why he did not
get up publicly and say So then, and that
Thurman replied, oh, well, Dom, we are
shooting at the republican party The
whole fight on me was a fight on Grant,
and the enemies of that illustrious man in
his own party had much, if not more

The college of agriculture at the
University of Wisconsin operates a
practical creamery in Hiram Smith
hall. At present between two or
three tons of milk are received daily
from the farmers in the vicinity of
Madison. The output consists Of
fancy print butter and pasteurized
milk and cream. The object of the
creamery is not money, but inyestiga-
tion. Experiments aresconstantly in
progress. The work in the pasteIriza-
tion of milk and cream has been
particularly successful under the
direction of DIR. III. L. Russell, the
Psychologist of the experiment
station. Pasteurized cream is now
regularly supplied to many families
in Madison, proving a great advant-
age to the consumer and help to the
farmer in widening his market for
dairy products. Pasteurized cream is
not only wholesome and highly palat-
able, but, being very pure, keeps from
three days to week before souring.
The resident physicians have become
greatly interested in the use OF pas
teurized milk from the creamery for
ailing infants and invalids. Quite a
number of infants are now being fed
with the pasteurized milk from the
university creamery with excellent re-
suits. The object of all this work is
to extend our knowledge of milk and
its products and to improve their ex-
cellence and make them more general
ly available.
