II is A BOOMERANG.

we are in receipt of a letter from
an Intelligent Democrat of an in
terror town, who says that the free
coinage sentiment is spreading rap
idly among Democrats and Renuh-
leans, and that it finds STRENGTH in
the recent bond sale and the i'm
mense profits made by the syndicate
taking it. There is growing faal-
ing that these men control the finan-
clal policy of the nation; that thew
are gold bugs for the same reason
they took the bonds, because if
brings them profits, and out of sheer
despair men are saying if free silver
Will hurt these men let's give tban
a dose of it.
we gave recently part of an in
terVlew with Gen. NettIeton assist
ant secretary of the treasury under
Harrison, in which he urged the Re-
publican party to assume the free
coinage policy. In the same infer
view he stated that he had con-
Versed with several bankers of Ros-
ton, and they favored the idea. and
Where they did not they expressed
an Indifference to it's success. Con
nected with this, and bearing di-
rectiy on the question, is the state
ment of the comptroller of the chr.
rency showing the condition of tbe
national banks, their reserves and
of what they are composed He
notes the large increase of gold in
the reserves, forming now some %
per cent Of the SO per cent of the orr
rency forming the reserve.
To these facts we ask the attention
OF those of our readers who are i'm
PEELED by the motives mentioned INV
our correspondent to give their aid
and comfort to the proposed new
tree silver party. Do they not sense
the significance of this indifferenoo
Of the bankers? Do they nor yrasn
the meaning of increasing reserves
OF gold? Do they expect that thew
can take unawares and unprepared

swing of the national party to d

swing of the national party to its
historic hard money position,
against that of the Republicans to
paper and free silver coinage, we
quote the following from his speech:
Jackson was the conspicuous cham
pion of hard money. The Democratic
party believes that the government
has no constitutional right to make
anything except gold and silver legal
tender for the payment Of debts. Moth
ing else can be money. There may be
paper currency used for convenience
and used by common consent, redeem
able in coin; but that is not the money
intended by the Constitution.
The Democratic position is that the
greenback currency is a debt against
the government, and should be gradu-
ally redeemed, paid off and eliminated.
The greenback has no intrinsic value;
it has not been coined by the govern
ment. 1t is a debt, and debt cannot
itself be legal tender for the payment
of another debt. These are elementary
principles about which there should be
no dispute, especially among Demo-
Gratis.

CAPITOL AND CORRIDOR.
Cronkhite,s work Done.

''Well done, thou good and faith
full servantsr will be the verdict
of the joint committee appointed
by the legislature to examine into
the expenditures for relief on ac-
count of the Hinckley disaster. This
statement is made on the authority
of Senator Cronkhite, who said to
GLOBE man yesterday: 'The joint
committee made me a committee OF
one to examine the accounts of the
state relief commission, and 1 am
prepared to say that the members
of the commission have discharged
their onerous task faithfully and
we'll They are entitled to thanks
instead of criticism, for seldom in
the history of philanthropic work
of this character has there been a
more conscientious or effective per
Torrance of public. duty. There
were 1900 or more separate pay
ments of money made in one way
or another, and while | do not pre-
tend to say that 1 have examined
each separate voucher and receipt,
l have gone through the records in
such a way that the joint commit
tee will be able to report intelli-
gently to the legislature. Besides
examining the accounts, 1 made
personal visit of inspection to the
district devastated by that terrible
fire So that what I. say is based on
personal observation and examina-
ton"
The report of the committee will
probably be made today. There is
very likely to be a recommendation
that a further small appropriation
be made to close up the work of the
relief commission.

popular sentiment on public matters
affecting them and their business?
These4men' know what the effect
of free coinage will be. They are
not ignorant of the facts of the
history Of money. They know how
memorable is Gresham's law, and
how surely the Cheap money
drives out of circulation the good.
They know that under the opera
ton of this law, which merely for
mulates the instructive impulse of
every human being to keep and get
that which is the best, and rid him
self of that which is doubtful or
worthless, every man will try to get
gold for what he sells and pay silver
for what he owes. They know that
this will send gold out of our cur
rency and make it a commodity
They know that every railroad bond
and all of the mortgages in the
country call for payment of interest
and principal in gold.
AS prudent as we'll as thrifty men
they are preparing for what may be
a coming financial storm, and prep
aration for which will not be
wasted effort if it does not come.
Just as the man who sees a shortage
in wheat buys for rise; just as
merchant, foreseeing a shortage in
say, sugar, buys in anticipation of
the profits accruing from the adj
vance; just as the honest farmer
holds his wheat or his beeves or hogs
for the advance he believes is to
come, so these men are gathering in
and holding gold against the time
they foresee when it will be at a
premium.
When that time comes and you
people with gold notes, secured by
gold mortgages, have to meet your
interest, it will be to these same
prudent and far-sighted men whom
you, in your envy, have thought to
hurt, that you will have to go to
buy gold to meet your obligations.
You will be fretting while the banker
IS placid and serene and if no twin
kle is in his eye as he takes your
silver and sells you gold and passes
the premium over to the profit side
of his ledger, it will be because his
commiseration for you keeps him
from chuckling over the sight of
you in the pit you digged for him.
The boomerang, boys, is more dam
gerous in unskillful hands to the
thrower than it is to the intended OBJ
ject. And this is as true in politics
and business and finance as it is in
the case of an Australian aborigine.

AT TIE THEATERS.

If anybody has labored under the
delusion that times were hard in
this city, it would have been dis
PEELED had they taken a look at the
interior of the metropolitan opera
house last night. From pit to dome
1T was one mass of humanity, not
a vacant seat was to be had. This
is all the more wonderful when one
considers that the engagement of
Hermann this week is being PLAYED
at increased prices. The great ma
gician must have been inspired last
night, for he fairly outdid himself.
He is without question this year
giving the greatest entertainment
of magic that has ever been given in
this or any other country.
1t is to be regretted that the en-
gagement is so short. as if fer
inmates on Wednesday night. On
Wednesday afternoon a special matt

ranged to please the ladies and chill

and her company, in the brilliant
and entertaining comedy "DeImon-
ico's at Six" The play takes its
name from the fact that one of the
most laughable and entertaining
acts occurs in a private dining room
of the famous New York restaurant.
A gay husband is discovered by his
wife at little dinner party with a
famous actress and a number of
extremely humorous incidents ensue
before he is delivered from the en-
barrassing situation. Miss Jansen's
impersonation of the principal char
acter is described as very breezy

John Hopp, of Preston.

Here is one of the coming" limbs
of the law He could not fail in
his profession, because he is a pro-
tege and partner of that solid old
Democrat and elegant gentleman,
Judge Henry r. Wells. Strange to
relate, though, Hopp is a stout Re-
publican-but he is comparatively
young yet. Hopp comes up to st.
Paul as the pilgrim goes to Mecca.
Twas here he crossed the hot sands
of the desert, in the comforting COM
pany of Counselor Hitler Horton and
other congenial seekers after the
key of knowledge. 1t is here he will
come to make his mark later on in
the councils of his party and in the
courts. No man can be more en-
thusiastic on the theme of diverSi-
fled farming than Hopp, because, as
he says, Fillmore is the banner
county in the procession that eXhib-
it's to the world the glorious and
perennial blessings that flow from
quitting the rut of old methods and
fixed habits to step up onto the high
way of advanced ideas and increased
values. The change that has oc-
CURED in these respects since I was
a boy in Fillmore county is nothing
less than remarkable. In our sec
ton we never cease to wonder at
the persistence with which the farm
ers of other counties stick to the
disastrous methods of farm man
agement that we long ago discarded
Diversified farming, intelligently
pursued, must be the ultimate sal
walton of the husbandman and the
browning glory of Minnesota
