the fall of the farmer, be it remember

Every class of prOperty-eyen in the

policy would eventually work as much
ruin as a perpetual bond issue. ThOus-

such questions, and, being unable to
give satisfactory answers, are turning
to silver as the only remedy. It can
work no harm, they argue. since if we
had the whole worlds annual output
of both gold and silver, it would not
suffice to pay our interest abroad. If
the advocates of "sound money" will
elucidate this one point, it may be pre-
dicted with safety that there will be no
more "silver craze" to worry the life
out of us, and to drive to distraction
the patient and watchful souls of our

ONE ]. B, Wise of Clay county, sent a
quotation Of scripture by mail to a
preacher friend, with whom he was
having a scriptual controversy. As the
quotation was obscene, the preacher
got angry and caused Wise's arrest for
mailing obscene matter. The case is in
the Topeka federal court, and Judge
Foster has overruled a motion to quash
the indictment. The motion was made
on the grounds that if the quotation is
adjudged obscene, the bible as a whole

year 1894 amounts to over 100000
