city has always felt well disposed to
any reasonable proposition that would
detach the upper from the lower penin-
sula of this state. In fact, residents
of upper Michigan have always seemed
like foreigners in a strange land, as
the southern portion, which, of course,
controls state matters. has little in
common with the northern part. The
great distance from the capital, the
different productions, the intervening
of large body. of water, all have a
tendency to keep the two sections
estranged. This northern section has
been repeatedly snubbed and neglect
ed. Railroads have for years been
legally empowered to rob the travel
ing public. Many laws are different in
this section from those in the southern
section, so that in many respects this
vicinity is treated like conquered
province. Tho lonly so-called .ad-
vantage given its people is the pay
ment of 10 cents mile for mileage for
members of the state legislature from
the upper peninsula, which cannot be
said to be much of a benefit to the
people at large. *;

Times-Herald and Evening Post has
been purchased by H. H. Kohlsaat,
who will direct the policy of~thestwo
papers hereafter. Mr.. Kohlsaat's
purchase includes the greater part
of the interest owned by James w.
Scott, and practically all the stock
owned by other stockholders, except
Mr.. Hawley, who retains the one
fourth interest he acquired when the
Herald and Times were consolidated.
Mrs. Scott keeps portion of her
100000 interest. The transaction is
one that is most satisfactory to all
who are interested in the paper
Mr.. Kohlsaat had been intimately
associated with Mr.. Scott for years.
Mrs. Scott will receive from the
Times-Herald an annuity of $4,000
for ten years during life. This in
come will, of course, be in addition
to that derived from he sale of her
stock. The policy of the Times-Her-
aid under its new ownership will be
that of an earnest, patriotic Amer
lean newspaper. 1t will be wholly
independent of party ties, striving
for that which is best for the ma
ton, needless of the dictates of mere
partisanship. In national affairs.
while avoiding alliance with any
party, it will always forcefully and
earnestly advocate the doctrine of
protection to American industry.
Under that protective system, as
experience has shown, is the surest
means of advancing commercial and
industrial prosperity, and the east
est and most equitable method of
raising revenue. The paper is abso-
lutely opposed to the free coinage
OF silver by this nation at the ratio
OF 16 to 1, or at any other ratio. In
local affairs there will be no color
OF partisanship in the attitude of
the Times-Herald. Upon this SIM
pie platform the Times-Herald takes
its stand: Political independence at
all times; protection to American in
dustries; sound money, and COM
plete non-partisanship in municipal
affairs

No More DoGing to Ladies.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, April 2O.-The re-
cent order issued at the naval academy
defining the regulation salute, which
was construed as prohibiting cadets
taking off their caps to ladies, has
been extended to officers of the naval
academy. The order does not, of
course, mention the ladies, but goes
on to say what the regulation salute
consists of, to whom it shall be given,
and prohibiting any other form of .sa-
Lutte. The order is much criticised by
officers, cadets and ladies.

MORTON ANSWERS BRYAN.
Sound Money Is That Which Is
Least F1uctuating-GOld

Least FIuctuating-GOld
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Secretary
Morton, in an interview today on the
silver question, said: II do not be-
lieve that an international congress
can establish permanently a CONNER
cial ratio between gold and silver, any
more than it can establish permanent
commercial ratio between rye and
wheat. But if an international con-
ference can fix the price, in gold, or
silver it can also fix the price of
wheat or of any other commodity,
and thereby avoid all the possible
shrinkages in values, which tend to
cause panicS.
"My own judgment is that we must
sooner or later declare that the United
States of America recognizes gold as
the best and least fiuctuating meas
ure of value and medium of exchange
which the commerce of civilization has
thus far utilized. 1t is barely possible
the financial faliacies. of the Populists
may temporarily secure a majority of
the voters of the United States.
Should such a catastrophe overtake
the country, the people must learn by
experience what they should have
learned by diligent study and reason.
The time for straddlers has passed.
Those who are for a sound money on
a gold basis ought to have the courage
to say so, and abide by the results of
their declaration. 1t makes no differ
ence to me whether a declaration of
truth, either upon the tariff or the
money question, temporarily drives
voters from us or allures them to us.
II have no hesitation in declaring
myself utterly opposed to all the free
coinage fallacies. My judgment is that
silver cannot be restored to it's former
monetary place in the commerce of this
world, because the supply of silver has
outgrown the demand for silver in the
exchanges of civilization. The rela-
ton of supply to demand is the sole
regulator of value. This axiom applies
alike to salt, silver, sugar and soap.
All legislation of all the law-making
bodies on the face of the globe can
neither mitigate nor annul the opera,
ton of the inexorable law, the rela-
ton of supply to demand is the sole
regulator of value The presidents
critics, however, ask what sound money
is. An ordinary man of business may
answer that question. Sound money
is that sort of currency which has the
most universal and least fiuctuating
purchasing power in the markets of
all countries. That money is the
'soundest' which throughout the com
merce of the civilized world there is
the most universal demand. And that
universal demand is always based
upon the universal and unfluctuating
purchasing power of that money!

ing Many Thousands Short.
CHICAGO, April 2O.-George c. Low
ell, for the past three years confden-
tial man and bookkeeper for the real
estate firm of Mead & Coe, is in the
custody of officers of the Amer
lean Surety company, charged with
embezzlement. The shortages were
discovered yesterday. A detective agen-
cy was notified and Lowell taken in
charge. Mead & Coe placed the
amount of the defalcation at $4,000,
while Lowell is alleged to have con-
fessed he embezzled 500, 600. Lowell
had always had confidence of his en-
ployers. Friday morning, however,
Mr.. Mead had occasion to look over
the accounts, and at once discovered
that fictitious entries and false bal
ances had been made. Lowell was ac-
cused of being short in his accounts,
and after some denials confessed.
Lowell stated that he had lost the
money through speculation on the
board of trade, but refused absolutely
to tell the firms name of his brokers.
In the minds of the detectives there
are many peculiarities about the case
which as yet remain unsolved Some
of these points lead the detectives to
believe that the money was not lost
through speculation but is at present
hidden away, possibly in some safety
deposit vault. The last is to the Off
GERS the most plausible theory ad-
vanced. An examination of the books
disclosed the fact that the first money
taken was about fifteen months ago,
and since that time sums ranging
from $1,000 upwards remained unac-
counted for upon the business rec
ords. Lowell was but twenty-five
years of age and unmarried He ap-
parently had no expensive habits, and
it was this fact that partially COM
mended him to his employers for pro-
motion. He was not known to be adj
dicted to gambling in any form, and
says himself that the only game of
chance that he played was the grain
markets.

GREAT MINERAL STATE.

SitiOn.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, April 20
Many prominent citizens in this
locality are greatly dissatisfied with
the treatment the northern. portions
of Wisconsin and Minnesota have re-
ceived from the southern parts of these
states, which, as the most thickly
populated, control the legislation.
Capt. Alexander McDougaII is firm
in 1.-THE position he has taken and
earnestly asserts that a new state
should be set aside to include the
mineral portions of the common
wealths of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. which have repeatedly
been snubbed and ignored by the
southern interests of the states. Very
recently a proposition was made by
the Minnesota legislature to bring
about the annexation of the portion
of Northern Wisconsin on which
Superior is situated to the State of
Minnesota. Later the Wisconsin
legislature proposed to secure the an

nexation of that part of Minnesota
which includes Duluth 10 Wisconsin.
1t is hoped by this means to bring
the interests of both cities and the
contiguous mineral sections into
common interest.
Until the feasibility of either of these
plarps is tried and found wanting.
Capt. McDougaH will not urge his
new state scheme and will persuade
those who hold his views to take no
action.

NEW YORK, April 2O.-A sequel
to tine stealing of Samuel c. Seeley
of the National Shoe and Leather
bank, came to light this evening by
the announcement that another
shortage had been discovered in the
financial institution. The culprit
this time, strange to say, is brother
in-law of the convicted defaulter.
His name is Samuel E. Ayner. He
had been employed by the bank for
many years and occupied a desk that
adjoined that used by Seeley before
he fed. The discovery was made this
afternoon after the close of banking
hours. When Aymer was arrested
he expressed surprise that his crime
had been discovered. He admitted
the robbery and said he could not
tell how much it amounted to. 1t
