feature of dog days In this town.
The effect upon credits OF the large re-
ceipts of gold which Is mostly In the
shape of American eagles, cannot but
prove stimulating both TO enterprise
and investment.
This seems to be port of entry for
distinguished foreign visitors at the
present time. We have had Lord Rus
sell and Ii Hung Chang, and among
the arrivals this week are Hon. Jo-
seph Chamberlain, the British Colo
NAL Secretary, and the real leader OF
the Unionist party in England. and DIR.
Theodore Barth, leader OF the Liberal
party In the German Reichstag. The
visit of this latter gentleman may be
significant, as he is well-known ad-
vocate OF the gold monetary standard.
AS the German-American vote Of the
country has become a pretty important
element in our national elections, and
they are generally believed to favor
the gold standard, the Views OF Dr.
Barth are of interest.
Il do not come to meddle with your
politics" he said to a Herald reporter,
but TO watch this most interesting
Presidential campaign and to learn.
The most intense interest is felt In
Europe in the American situation, and
the desire of all is to see an outcome
that will bring prosperity to the United
States, for trade relations are so close
that prosperity for you means pros
perity for us. / regard the currency
question as the vital one to a coun-
try's prosperity. International bimet-
allism has long been discussed in Eu-
rope, but 1t will never come to pass, l
believe. England and Germany will
never consent to abandon the gold
standard, and without them the other
powers will be helpless. I regard the
attempt at bimetallism by any single
nation as absolutely impracticable, and
/ doubt If all the great commercial ma
tions together could succeed. l do not
believe that free silver coinage would
benefit the agricultural classes in the
United States. Between the time OF
Mr.. Bryan's election and the passage
OF my free coinage law at least four
months would elapse and during that
time you would have a panic which
would ruin your agriculturists. Mort
cages would be foreclosed, loans called
in and great suffering would result.
OF course this is only my opinion. ]
am eager to hear the arguments Of the
other side"

the gloom of commercial dependency.
One can always sympathize with
those good sort of people who are ev-
cry once in while getting ready for
the end of the world. The world did
not come to an end on September I'd
to the small sect of earnest Christians
who believed in the prophecies OF
Pastor Stutzke, a local preacher. who
had duly predicted that 1t would end
on that date, but 1t did come to an end
for many thousands on that day who
were not expecting 1t. and the end will
reach Pastor Stutzke's faithful follow
ers in due time, although 1t may be
on a day and hour that no man know
eth" To the properly instructed eye.
the end Of the world and the day OF
judgment are events that occur every
day to those who meet the grim mes
senger who, according to more or less
reliable statistics, claims his victims
at the rate of about one q second,
whether the day of judgment is pre-
dcted Tor that particular date of the
calendar or not. There Is rather
grim flavor to the humor spent upon
such enthusiasts as Pastor StutZke and
mis- followers. These are mere signs
ot the times, and 1t Is scarcely philo-
sophical to laugh at them in view Of
conditions that any mere mortal would
be singularly stupid not to recognize.

The continued inflow OF gold from

Preventing Forest Fires.

The Forestry division OF the depart
ment of agricultural is endeavoring to
make the lumbermen of.nthe Eastern
section, burn the debris lin their log
glng works as preventive of the forest
fires which destroy vast tracts of valu-
able timber each year.. The. North
western Lumberman says: The most
emphatic and positive evidence that
forest fires can ! be prevented comes
from operators in ..Michigan. The H.
M. Loud & Sons Lumber Company, of
Au Sable, Mich, writes to Chief B. E..
Fernow, of the forestry division that
the company has always made it a
practice, whenever possible, to burn
the debris in the fall, or in the spring
when the-groand is somewhat damp
and the wind is in the right direction
This, the company says, has been q
very successful method. as its lands
have escaped, through many years Of
logging, from any destructive forest
fires, and the company expresses the
belief that if it had not taken such
precautions its losses would have been
enormous. The open chopping dries
out much more quickly in the spring
than the peighboring timber land
consequently. the fire will burn in the
open and stop as soon as it comes te
the timber, and no difficulty has beer
found in combining the fire to the de-
sired limits. It only requires common
sense or good Judgment to know wher
the proper time is to burn the chop
pings, and so cover this menace to un
cut lumber"

AS evidencedno the fact that the
present administrator has done every
thing in its power to cause the disuse
of silver, it can be stated that there
are now 46,2S5,2O0 standard silver
dollars in the treasury, large proper
ton of which should have s~been paid
out in exchange for silver certificates
and other paper money!. which has
been redeemediAi gold. There is but
$663,711 worth of silver bullion in the
treasury, according to the latest treas
ury, statement. There is, accord
ing to the same statement, $12O,
SIT ,O35 gold coin in the, treasury and
$42 JOB ,401' in gold bullion. Against
this gold there is outstanding $40, 978,-
400 in gold certificates, which are
counted an "of-set" against the gold
in the treasury, and this sum is de-
Quoted from the balance, coin and
bullion, when the total amount is
given. ..:;,
No leverage is allowed the govern
ment on the amount of certificates In
circulation. AS matter Of fact, every
method possible is employed to hold
the circulation down to the lowest
possible point and keep everything on
a strict gold basis. 1t is little wonder
that bankruptcy and ruin has over
taken the people, and that the bust
ness failures continue to increase at a
two-fold rate.
The ife-blood of the nation-the
circulation-has been destroyed or
taken away. The result is stagnation
and paralysis.-Tacoma Union.

The Athletic Woman.

The woman who at this end of the
century neglects physical culture or
the practice OF some form of athletics
is curiosity all ages and conditions.
all classes and nationalities, agree that
woman to be at her best, whatever her
ruling ambition may be, must cultivate
her physical as we'll as her mental
powers, for on the perfection of the
former depends the brillancv of the
latter. The "all-pervading bicvc le''
has undoubtedly been an important
factor in establishing this principle
and if not the favorite form of exercise
is invariably an adjunct to her special
fad in physical culture. DEMoREsT's
MAGAZINE for June has several excel
lent articles in this line; and all
women should read the handsomely IL
Illustrated on "The Reign of the Bicvcle''
and "Woman and Her Wheel" also
