And now another excuse has been
found for mortgaging the future BY the
issuance Of more bonds. Il seems that
the republican idea Of good. fnanciering
is to get as deeply in debt as possible SO
long as the debt can be funded and left
for posterity to liqu1date. The. .old-fash-%
ioned way Of paying as you go does not
suit the modern fnanciers who have ev-:
en- been heard to enunciate this doctrine,
that s'a public debt is a public blessing
Now that 1t is pretty generally agreed
that the endless chain for relieving the
treasury of its gold surplus is about to
be broken and bonds to maintain the
gold surplus will not be issued when that
is done, these wise fnanciers have dis
covered that it is wrong for this present
generation to pay pensions to the sol.
diers. but that bonds must be issued for
that purpose and their payment relega-z
ted to pcsterity. Instead Of strict eco
nomy in governmental expenses and the
enactment Of laws that will bring the
necessary revenue, they propose instead,
bonds. You hear nothing now about a
new Mckinley bill that will bring the
required revenue for expenses. You will
never hear again that the Mckinley ad-
ministration can devise any way to meet
current expenses with current revenue.
They will tell you now just what demo-
Gratis have always claimed that "more
protection means less revenue" and they
are beginning to hedge now with bond
proposition. Instead of an income tax
rendered constitutional by the necessary
amendment, or any other means OF rails
ing ourl evenues, they want bonds. Thisis
the same sort of fnanciering we have been
having much of the time since the war.
We have paid our war debt several times
over. and still we have that enormous
| war debt unpaid. Bonds, bonds, bonds.
The bane of a nation, the uin Of a peo-
pie. There is no reason why, If the
wealth of this country be made to pay
it's lust share of tax, that the Amer
lean people cannot pay their way
as they 90 ;tlong and, like France, pay
their war deb too. Why do we not all
of US act patriotic and free our nation
from the thralldom Of dcbt?-Le Sueul

WHILE BEING INITIATED.
Chas. Wetter Of Winthrop Falls Dead
While Taking the Shriners'
Degree IN Minneapolis.

The Minneapolis Times OF Friday re-
corded the following: Charles Wetter
of Winthrop died last evening while be-
mo initiated into Zuhrah Temple of the
Mystic Shrine. Death did not result
from violence, but an autopsy performed
on the spot by Doctors Dutton and
Kilvington determined that 1t was caused
by dilation OF the heart, probably in
duced oy the excitement OF the ceremony.
Mr,Wetter was one Of class ofeight-
cen. and the Shriners hail made unusual
preparations for the limitations. The class
had gone through the fist section OF the
work, which is principally ''horse play"
as in all limitations, and Mr.. Wetter had
entered into the fun with the ardor of "a
school boy. The candidates were being
conducted through the second section,
leading up to the solemn and biuding
rites, when Mr.. Wetter dropped to the
floor in a. faint. He was Immediately
carried to an adjoining room, where
DIS. Dutton, Kilvlngton and Richardson
expended every effort to restore him,but
in q few moments he was rigid in death.
Coroner Kistler was immediately
summoned, and on viewing the body de-
cided that an inquest would not be,nec-
essary. An autopsy was performed at
his orders by Doctors Dutton and Kill
vinoton. They found the liver and kid
news in disordered state, and the heart
walls thin. The ,lilation had evidently
| existed for long time, the excitement
serving to produce the fatal result
A telegram was sent Immediately to his
4 wife at Winthrop, informing her of the
sad news. and a committee consisting OF
r. IT. McAdam of Minneapolis and Jos.
! eph Eckstein of New Ulm was appointed
/ to Mait on the widow and inform her in
person. Mr.. Wetter was a hotel-keepel
and about so years Of age. He was q
member Of the local Blue Lodge at Win
] throp and of st. Johns chapter and zior
commandery IN Minneapolis: he was va
mot in the best OF circumstances, it wa:
learned last evening, and q collection
was taken up among the shriners, Wl1cl
