GOES INTO COURT.

That grand old patriot, and
statesman. Ground Hog Joe''
whose tireless efforts in behalf
Of the taxpayers Of this county
during the past eighteen years, is
SO we'll known to all, has again
made a bold daring dash for op-
pressed humanity (about thu Jour
nal office which promises to
eclipse any Of his former deeds OF
greatness, ven his glitterlng
military records. This time he
proposes to COMPEL the board Of
county commissioners to award
him the contract for furnishing
blank books and supplies as we'll
as the county printing, which was
awarded to the Perkins Brothers
company. Of Sioux City, and for
that purpose has brought an &C
ton of mandamus in court, wpich
was tried last week, but the court
has not yet rendered his decision.
The board contends that it let the
contract to the lowest bidder
which the Journal man denies.
The truth is the Journal man
put in a very cute bid and expected
the commissioners to bite at it,
but got left. It ran very high on
articles which the county wanted
in large quantities and low on that
class which little would be needed
which made his bid lowest as a
whole but mush higher on the
arsicles which would be bought
during the contrac.
Time only can tell what the de-
cision of the court will be and 1t
will be awaited with interest as
without doubt if the county is
beaten the case will be appealed.

WHAT a rejoicing there must

his large glass on the fourth ward
election in this city and witnessed
some of the sainted followers Of
the meek and lowly carpenter
who taught the people on the
shores Of Galallee long ago, buy
ing votes at SIS a vote. Now don't
any of you unsophisticated pops
say that buying votes or putting
up money for some one else to do
SO is wrong and contrary to the
spirit if not the letter Of Holy
Writ. Don't you know that the
republican party is organized and
It's tenants adopted since the
scriptures were written? Well
then where the two conflict by the

repeal the scriptures by impllca-
ton? Why there is nothing

PHELPS m BERLIN.

Berliners will never cease talking
Of the manner in which Minister
Phelps procured . handsome resi-
dence right in the heart Of their cap
itas and within gnnshot Of the Linden
not q small undertaking in . city
where the private houses a be
counted on the fingers Of one hand
and where everybody lives in fats
The only suitable house, for which
Mr.. Phelps had offered an annual
rental Of 100, 600 marks, was unavaila-
BILE, owing to legal difficulties, and
though the court, the foreign office
and his friends of t.:ae diplomatic corps
assisted in the search, no other dwell
ing fit for his purpose could be found.
With the practical ideas Of an Ameri-
can, and regardless OF cost where the
was concerned. Mr.. Phelps then de-
cided to create the right kind of .
house if he could not find it ready.
He leased the upper part of a new
house in Neue Wilhelm strasse, and
at once commenced tearing down and
rebuilding until a typical American
home had been established, which on
account of its amplitude and accessi-
bility to light and air, became the
talk Of the town.
The entire American colony was in
vited for the opening, and thereafter
the minister's residence was never
closed against any of his co~untrymen,
rich or poor; indeed it became the
Mecca of many a poor and struggling
artist or student, and none left it
without kindly advice and-where
needed-substantial aid. During MI.
Phelps tenure of Office in Berlin the
number of American students there
trebled, while many distinguished
and wealthy Americans, attracted by
the fame Of his hospitality, removed
from Paris and other towns to tha
German capital.

DERELIcTs IN THE ATLANTIC
One Wreck That Has Been Floating
Around for Nearly Three Years.


The report that the famous derelict,
the Fannie z Wolston, has been
sighted again, this time about 25a
miles east of Norfolk, awakens fresh
interest in the champion and record
breaker among existing wanderers on
the sea, This schooner of Bath, Me-,
was wrecked more than two years
and eight months ago, and has aver
since drifted in the Atlantic, making
q total course of many thousands of
miles. About two months ago she
was sighted not very far apmren thy
from her present position, but the in
dications are said to be that, as she is
now OH the eastern edge of the gulf
stream, she may float with it up to
the transatlantic steamer line, and
SO be a still greater peril 10 naviga-
ton.
The history OF that vessel alone
would form a sufficient argument for
carrying out promptly the proposed
,ystem of international police for the
destruction of dangerous derelicts.
1t was shown by the commissioner of
navigation in his last report that in a
period of five years there had been
332 known derelicts on the Atlantic
coast of North America, besides 625
wrecks whose tracks were not marked.
On the pilot chart for one month
alone forty-fve derelicts still afoat
were marked, Of which more than
half appeared to be in the path of the
transatlantic steamers. OF course
many have a short career, as they
speedily break up or sink, but the ex-
perience OF. the Wolston shows how
persistent is the peril in some cases,
for she is only one Of a large number
Known to keep awash for years

SECRETARY CARLISLE delivered
aspeech in Chicago, before the
labor union, the other evening by
invitation. It was atypical single
standard speech. He started upon
one false premise and carried his
whole speech through on that
foundation, which was false from
beginning to close because of this
false position upon which he based
it, and that Is the fifty cent dollar.
Were it true that the silver dollar,
undersfree and unlimited coinage
wouldbe worth but fifty cents then
we must admit that there is much
truth in the secretary's position
but herein lies the deception.
There is at this time 1922 grains
Of gold and 4l25 grains Of silver
in the dollar, making the ratio Of
ZIG to I. They tell us that the
am5unnt Of silver in the dollar is
worth but one half as much as the
gold. How does this come? The
experience Of 1000 years has
shown thai the average ratio Of
labor cost in the prediction OF
these two metals is about 16 to !
hence the law fixing the respective
amounts in the dollar. The
money OF the various countries
has heen maintained in this ratio
without difficulty until within the
last twenty years; now what has
caused this decline III value? One
Of two things, either there has
been a decline In the demand or q
great increaee in the supply or in
the production 81 silver, for only
these two things can effect prices.
Upon examination We find that
there has been q decline in the
supply Or production Of silver, 50
il can't come from this cause. But
ne explanation remains and that
