THE MEASURE OF VALUE.

Baron Rothschild said to the French
monetary commission in 1863: The
simultaneous employment of the two
precious metals is satisfactory and
gives rise to no complaint whether gold
or silver dominates for the time being. 1t
is always true that the two metals con-
cur together in forming the monetary
circulation Of the world, and it is the
general mass of the two metals COM
bined which serves as the measure of
value of things. The suppression of
silver would be a veritabIe destruction
of values without any compensation

MAINE CAMPAIGN LAGs.
Silver Wing of the Democratic Party
Short of Funds.

Augusta, Ne, Aug. 18.-The silver
wave which was promised in this state
by the supporters Of William ]. Bryan
has failed to. materialize. None of the
fire and enthusiasm of old greenback
days are manifest. Lethargy and dis
enlargement prevail in the silver ranks
There are several weighty reasons
for this. The silver managers have no
money and they can see no prospect of
getting any. The Democrats who in
other campaigns have contributed lib
orally refuse absolutely to support the
Chicago platform, and not a cent of
their money will they place in the
committees hands. Many of the fed
eraI office holders, who should be among
the heaviest contributors, are lukewarm
and refuse to give anything.

NEXT YEARS TAX LEVY
As Tt Affects the Property Owners in
PotWin Place.

Just now the matter of next years
tax levy is agitating the minds of the
property owners of Potwin Place.
Last year the levy was 14.5 mills and
it is probable that this year it will be
about the same. If this is done, how
ever, the tax payers will find their tax
es are a little higher this coming year
than in the past for the reason there
has been an advance of a few tenths
of mill made by the county commits
siOners.
1t will cost Potwin Place just as
much to run, however, next year as
last year, no matter what the commits
s1oners have done or may do, and
levy Will in all probability be left the
same.
A special meeting of the council will

The light question is still unsettled
but something definite will probably
be done at the next regular meeting Of

HE WAS Ar LEAST HONEST.


The Leavenworth Times says:
Chief Justice David Martin is admit
ted on all hands to be a capable and
upright judge.
It is alleged he was turned down by
the Republican state convention on ac-
count of the dissatisfaction with his de-
cision upon the mortgage redemption
law. On that occasion unquestionably
Judge Martin made a mistake.
The main reason, however, for his de-
feat in his candidacy for denomination
was because he was a pronounced ad-
vocate of the free coinage of silver.
Upon that question he had the honesty
and the boldness to frankly stand by
and declare his convictions. He did not
fear to let it be known he had not
changed at the dictation of the St.
Louis convention or of the gang of
bosses in Kansas.
The fact that he refused to flop from
free silver to the gold standard when
the order was given was crime which
could not be overlooked, and the Nor
riu faction cut him down.
We certainly honor Judge Martin for
uttering his honest opinions so frankly
that nobody could misunderstood. We
prefer such a man rather than one who
has been in the past 1oudest in his
declarations in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage by the American
mint of the entire silver product of the
whole world at the ratio of Is to L
and who now processes to be for a gold
basis only. The one seems to be honest,
the other seems to be dishonest.

BANKS HOLD ON TO GOLD.
Cleveland Bankers Ignore an Offer of
$3.50 Premium Per 81 900 Worth.

Cleveland Bankers Ignore an Offer of
$3.50 Premium Per 81 900 Worth.
Cleveland, Aug. 1S.-There is a brisk
demand for gold at the banks in this
city.
A week ago the local banks were ap-
preached through a circular sent out
by G. P. AItenberg & Co., brokers, of
Cincinnati, O., Offering to pay 81 so pre-
MUM for every 81, 900 worth of gold or
United States treasury notes issued IN
der the act of 1890, redeemable in coin.
only one bank here paid any attention
to the circular 1t was regarded as a
scheme to hoard gold. They argued
that if Bryan was elected there would
be a natural rise in gold. If Bryan
was defeated and a bond issue forced,
the gold would be a good thing to have
In the house for obvious reasons.
The Altenbergs were rated at $4,000
to $4,000 and were evidently agents for
a big New York firm that might be
trying to corner gold. While there is
no unusual scarcity of gold or treas
Ury notes in the Cleveland banks, the
banks are not paying out any gold, but
are holding it to protect the gold re-
serve. They have refused many out
side offers to buy gold.

students who solve the puzzles of sci
ence; the thinkers who spend most Of
their time within study walls; the col
lege professors who seldom talk except
in the lecture room; the silent, patient
investigators of the marvels of nature
who labor in untrodden and solitary
fields and who only emerge when they
have some important discovery to COM
municate to the world. They are men
whose names you do not commonly see
in the newspapers, but who are known
to the scientists of many countries be-
sides their own.
On the membership roll of the associ-
alton are the names of all the men and
women of America who have been emil
nent in science, literature or art in the
last half century. The present member
ship is about 1900. It was in 1889 that
the association was founded. That was
a year of great scientific activity in this
country, and in the older states regu-
larry organized geological and geologic

into the field nearly alIS5he scientific
men in the land. Many of our earlier
scientists owe their fame to the oppor-
tunity thus presented.
infancy here, and the officers of the diff
ferent state surveys found it necessary
to meet and compare notes on their
work. AS a consequence an association
Of biologists and biologists was formed.
The first meeting was held in 1910 at
Philadelphia, and Edward Hitchcock
of the Massachusetts state survey was
chosen president.
After an existence of seven years it
was found such advances had been made
in the kindred sciences of astronomy,
chemistry, ethnology, geography. phys
les, ETC., and there was so much need of
general cooperation by workers in all
branches Of science, that it was decided
to enlarge the scope of the existing so
cieties and take in all the sciences. So
the name of the organization was
changed to the American Association
For the Advancement of Science, and
in 1S48 a constitution was adopted
which has remained practically IN
changed ever since. The first clause of
that constitution defines the aims of the
association and reads as follows:
''The objects of the association are,
by periodical and migratory meetings,
to promote intercourse between those
who are cultivating science in different
parts of America, to give a stronger
and more general impulse and more sys-
tematic direction to scientific research
and to procure for the labors of scientific
men increased facilities and wider in
fuence.
This has been the general spirit of
the work OF the association. At first the
meetings were held semiannually, but
later it was found that so many mem
bers were college professors whose time
