WHAT does the Board of Trade, Of
Louisville, or the editor Of the Courier
Journal sitting in his ffth-story sanctum
know about the wants of the people
Does either Of them ever get out and rub
up against the farmer who raises 40 cent
wheat and So tobacco, 40 cent corn,
cent hogs and 5 cent cotton. It's all
mighty nice to go out and interview a
lot of bankers and millonaires on the
money question. But do they represent
the people? Are they in touch with the
masses. The men that have to hoe and
pillow and scufile from sun up to sun
down and then sell what they raise for less
than it costs to produce it-these are the
men to interview on the subject of
money. A dollar in gold will buy now
twice as much tobacco and third more
land than it did in '73. What does
bushel of wheat buy or a hundred
pounds OF tobacco or any item of pro-
duce raised on the farm. The News
would like to hear from some OF the sin
gle standard advocates on this condition
OF things.

1t appears to man up tree that the
prices OF tobacco are going down and
the boys from the country are beginning
to realize that tobacco is very low and
are doing some tall kicking, but what's
the use when the Tobacco manufact-
urers are forcing prices down? For it is
them who control the market.
Unless the farmers Of this country go
to raising something else besides tobac-
co they will soon be in deplorable con-
dition. What pity We can't go into a

bacco this year and every man stick to
this resolution. But we are afraid every
man will sick to the tobacco patch in

THREE ISLANDS FOR SALE,
Denmark Anxious to Dispose Of
St. Thomas, Santa Cruz
and st. John.
Mr.. Cavling Says Liberal Terms Will
Be Offered to the United
States.

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 3O-A special from
Washington says: Congress will be given
another opportunity to buy the Danish
islands of st. Thomas, Santa Cruz and st.
John this winter. The statement is made
on the authority of Heinrich Cavling,
editor Of the Politiken, Copenhagen, who
was introduced to Congressman and Sem
ators to-day by Senator Nelson of Mime
sofa. Mr.. Cavling said:
Denmark is compelled to sell these
islands. The expense of maintaining the
governments of these islands each year is
$4,000. They may be sold to Germany
if the United States does not buy them
The German empire has no harbor in the
West Indies and is anxious to secure con-
troll of st. Thomas, which has a harbor
large enough to float the navies of the
world. But the Danes dislike the Ger
mans, and do not want to sell to any
European power. A liberal offer would be
made to the United States. It has been
practically determined to sell or let the
islands be independent. Most of the resi-
dents are British immigrants and their
first move would be to petition England
for protectorate. The first offer to sell
was made to the United States in 1882

A Contract for Fifty Millions
Prepared by the Treasury
Department.
FORMATION OF A SYNDICATE.
Berlin and London FinancierS Very
Anxious to Take Up the Pro.
posed Loan.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 30.-Secre-
tary Carlisle said to-day that no bond issue
would be announced until after the 1st of
January. When asked how long after the
1st the issue might be expected he said
that would depend upon circumstances.
He intimated that if the depletion of the
gold reserve did not make action seem nee
essary the President would probably delay
the bond issue until some opinion could
be formed as to the action of the Senate.
1t is admitted at the treasury that the
contract for the bonds ($5O, 600 ,000) has
been made practically, and that the issue
can be put out on very short notice if an
emergency shall arise.
The prospect of prompt action by the
Senate took an unfavorable turn to-day.
Senator Voorhees,, as the old chairman of
the Finance Committee to which the tariff
and bond bills passed by the House have
gone, on Saturday notified the mem bers
held on Tuesday to consider the bills.
Voorhees, gave out that he saw no reason
why the Finance Committee could not act
at once and get one or both of the bills
back into the Senate this week.
To-day the reorganization OF the Senate
committee was announced. The Republi-
cans take control and the venerable
Morrill, of Vermont, over eighty years DID,
becomes chairman of the Finance Com
mittee. Morrill, sent word to Voorhees,
this afternoon that he wis., ed the meeting
of the committee announced for tomorrow
called off. He also stated that he did not
wish the committee to come together and
undertake to do any business until the
holiday season is over.
This is interpreted by the Senators to
mean that if Chairman Morrill, is given his
way there will be no meeting of the
Finance Committee until next week, and
that the emergency tariff and bond bills
will remain pigeon. noled.

DRAGS ON MANY YEARS,
Slow Progress Made in the Suit
Against the Bell Telephone
Company.
Now the Government Is Given Until
the Close of May to Take Evi.
dence in Rebuttal.

BOSTON, MASS, Dec. 30.-Judge Colt,
in the United States Circuit Court to-day,
gave the United States until May 81, 1896,
in which to take evidence in rebuttal in
the case of the United States VS.. the
American Bell Telephone Company and
Alexander Graham Bell, in which the
question of fraud in procuring the Bell
Company's patents is raised. Judge Colt
refused to limit the Government to the
question of fraud raised. The Government
has taken vast amount of evidence in
support of the claim of Daniel rawbaugh
and the defendants have taken counter
evidence on the same issues. The Govern
ment now wishes to take evidence to rebut
defendants evidence and the court has
given time for that purpose without re-
stricting the Government from taking evil
dence on the question OF alleged priority
of invention, which it would have done
had it granted the request of the de-
PENDANTS.
From present indications the end of the
case is not yet in sight, although it has
been pending for nearly nine years. The
bill was first filed in January, 1887. De-
murrers were filed and sustained by the
Circuit Court, but on appeal the demurrers
were overruled and an amended bill was
filed in December, 1888, after which an
swers were filed and other proceedings
taken, but it was not until December, 1889,
nearly three years after the suit was
brought, that evidence for the Govern
ment began to be taken. This part of the
case went on for about two years, or until
January II. 1892, when the direct evidence
for the Government was in. From that
time until November of the present year
the defendants have been putting in their
testimony.
The Government now comes in and asks
for an extension of nearly six months,
which the court has granted. At the hear
ing to-day counsel for the Bell Company
said that if the Government was not re-
stricted as requested it would not only take
six months to take the evidence iii rebuff
tai, but more than twice six months.
After the evidence is all in the case has
still to be heard by the court and after
that on appeal, so that it is not probable
that it can be ended for several years to
come.
The San Francisco call., 1895-12-31

Perkins to-day introduced in the Senate a
bill for the construction of the Nicaragua
canal under Government control. The
bill is very similar to and almost identical
with that presented in the House by Rep
resentative Barham. Captain Merry of
San Francisco, who takes great interest in
and is considered an authority on the Nicar-
qua canal, has written a letter to Represen-
tative Barham in which he pronounces
Barham's bill perfection He says it is
fully as satisfactory as that of Senator
Morgan, which passed the Senate last
Congress and which was very acceptable
to Pacific Coast people. Representative
Barham has transmitted copies of his bill
to Senators Frye, Sherman and Morgan,
asking their cooperation.
