tion of the incidents in their early history
is distinct, are so enfeebled by are rs to
make writing by them extremely burden
some. The younger rememb bers of the
family, or others in their vicinity. can re-
cord the stories these old people tell to them
and thus preserve for the historian what
must otherwise soon be lost beyond recov-
cry. In doing this the more minute and
circumstancial the narrative is, the better
it is. Apparently trivial incidents have
their use as well as those which appear
more important.

The defeat of Senator Washburn in
Minnesota by Gov. Nelson is seized
upon by some republican papers in
the vain attempt to show that that
party is opposed to millionaires in
the senate. or in other positions of
public trust. As the St. Paul Press
puts it: The interests of the repub-
lican party demanded that its repre-
sentation in the senate should be in
closer touch and sympathy with the
masses of plain people. who form the
bulk of its constituency"

to issue circulation to the par value

paving the way for taking up the

national banks to fill the gap. He
also goes back to the plan OF opera
ton during the war. the payment OF

manner the treasury was at all times
in receipt of sufficient gold to meet
the interest accruiug on the public
