GoLD5UoS ON THE RUN.

Will it be possible for our mon
etary system to survive the addi-
tion of such an overwhelming
noodl asks Cml Snyder in Febru-
AIRY Review of Reviews. Our
presen: system was formed to
meet exactly the opposite condi-
tons which now present them
selves. Its authors had in view a
scarcity, not glut of gold
Could they have. forseen the
future they would have been
frightened. The gold basis cur
rency scheme now in vogue among
the chief commercial nations was
devised and estabIishedin England
IN 1916. The whole worlds pro
duction of gold for that decade
and for thirty years thereafter,
averaged but $40, 600, 600 u year.
For the year 1916 it was but ST.
600, 600. To-day the worlds out
put is twenty five times this and
before the century is closed 1t
will probably be forty times that
when the currency system was
adopted. In the same period the
worlds population has increased
but two and half times and
though the expansion of commerce
and trade has been much greater,
it has limped lamely beside the
growing yellow stream. To set
out the matter in another way:
When after the long Napolecnlc
war England adopted the present
currency system, about 1925, 600,
600 of gold it is estimated, were
required to enable her to resume
specie payment. Save Portugal,
England was then the sole nation
having single gold standard, ano
the drain from other lands was sc
great that, in the United States al
least the yellow metal disappeared
from circulation entirely. To-day
England's stock of gold is Il rOunc
S540, 100000 and that of the
United States above 5000, 000,-
600, Russia with between tour anc
five hundred million and France
with $500, 600, 900, ell exhibit The
same phenomenon Of enornou,
piles Of gold, amassed within this
century. In all the world there
is now near to four billions Of goIC
money. And where gold coinage
in the United States ranged from
Il quarter of Il million to a million
a year, from 1900 to 1920, i
now ranges from forty to eighty
millions of dollars a year.

THE MARQUETTE STATUE.

1t is earnestly to be hoped that
no such vandalism as the defacing
of the Marquette stat Will
be attempted by any citizen
of the United States. The statue
has been erected IN honor of one
Of the most daring explorers of
the American continent, and Il
man whose name is Intimately
associated with the history of the
Mississippi valley. That he was
a Catholic priest cuts 40 figure in
the matter. The statue is erect
ed to the explorer and to commcn-
crate his services to history and to
geography, and not to his memory
as a priest. Were it IN the latter
capacity that he had been honored
there would be ground for objec-
ton, but this IS not the fact. Men
of all shades Of religious BELIEF dis
tlnguished themselves il the early
development OF the continent and
in perpetuating their memory no
reference Is had to their beliefs.

to suggest blgotry worse than
that which prevailed IN the ff-

ance of the present age of freedom

Tie great state of Wisconsin
has presented this statue to the
United States as an honor due the
memory of a man who was its first
explorer. TO desecrate it would
not only be ar insult to that com

LlNGER IN THE VICINITY OF HAVANA
Insurgents Said TO BE Quiet. Except as
TO Excesses.

Havana, Jan. 7.-Insurgents are still
in the vicinity of Havana, but their
movements are not of sufficient import
ance to chronicle in detail The number
of insurgents at Managua and Calaba-
Ear 16 miles from this city, has been
increased, but it is now believed that
Havana itself will not be attacked for
some time. The insurgents have burn
ed mixed train from Cardendas, near
Banaguizes, and the Spaniards claim
that they violated all the women and
young girls among the passengers.

BOUND BY TREATY sTlPULATIoNs
Government Must Watch Over Indians
Even When Full Pledged Citizens.

Omaha, Jan. Judge Shiras of
Iowa, in the federal court today render
ed a decision declaring that in cases
where Indians have become citizens
with all accompanying privileges, the
government is still bound by all treaty
stipulations existing while tribal rela-
lions were sustained. He holds that it
applies on all reservations and is wide
in it's scope.
The decision was rendered in the
Flournoy Land Company's appeal,
wherein they ask to have it's claims to
Indian lands sustained. The court de-
clares that the fact that Indian allot-
tees are declared citizens of the United
States does not render void as to them
or as to remaining portions of the tribes
the restrictions upon rights of aliena-
ton contained in the several acts of
congress under which allotments in sew
crafty have been made, and declares the
leases of the defendants wholly void,
and the obligation applies to all Indian
reservations.

THE INDIANA INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS
Multiplicity OF Events Brings Prominent

Indianapolis. Jan. 7.-For the next

dustrial Associations, including the
wool growers, bee keepers, short-horn
breeders and swine breeders associa-
lions, the State Farmers Reading Cir
Gle, the State Engineering Society and
Highway Improvement Association and
State Poultry Association, will be in
session here, and the multiplicity of
events has brought to the state capital
a small army of tillers of the soil, breed
ers and county officials. The congress
opened today with the annual delegate
meeting of the state board of agricul-
ture, and the tenth annual convention
Of the Wool Growers Association. The
terms of eight members of the former
body expire this week, and 1t is note
worthy fact, as indicating the interest
in agricultural matters in this state,
that there are contests in nearly every
district. Mayor Taggart and Governor
Matthews were among the speakers at
today's meetings.

cuBA>s CALLED UPON MR.. oLNEY
House to Consider Recognition OF Insur-

gents as Beln eTenfS.
Washington. Jan. 7.-Several mem
bers of the house consulted the leaders
today regarding the introduction Of
the resolution for recognition of the in
surgents of Cuba as belligerents. 1t is
quite likely, however, that the Cuba
question will not come up for discus
sion until the committee on foreign af-
fairs makes it's report. Representa-
tive Sultzer, of New York city, called
at the state department today accom-
panied by President Palma of the Gu
ban revolutionary committee, Secre-
tary Quesada and Horatio Rubens,
prominent Cuban sympathizers, and
Manuel Sanguilly. a brother of San
gully now held in Mora castle, Ha-
vana. Secretary Olney was about to
leave for the cabinet meeting, so the
party did not see him. They left large
bundle of papers for his inspection. 1t
is believed the main purpose of the
visit was to secure energetic action in
behalf of the imprisoned Sanguilly, who
claims American citizenship
1t is learned that the chief purpose
of the leaders of the Cuban revolution
airy party in coming to Washington to-
day was to push vigorously a move
ment to secure recognition of the revo-
lutionists by this government. They
made Secretary Olney brief but fore
ible presentation of the claims of insur-
gents to recognition.
Recently the house adopted a resolu-
ton calling upon the state department
for all information in its possession con-
corning the revolution. President Pal
ma and associates at once began the
compilation of evidence in justif1ca-
ton of their cause. 1t is probable that
the documents given Secretary Olney,
or their substance, will soon be trans
mitted to the house. There Is a strong
sentiment in the house, which has been
advanced by recent successes of Gu
bans, that this government should do
all in its power, consistent with inter
national usages, to assist the patriots.
President Palma predicts that the in
surgents will capture Havana within
three months, and a Cuban republic
will be established within six months
If it has the recognition of the United
States.

NEeo rIATIre FOR BLACK HORNET
Manager of the DelamBr Mines After
Another Gold Property.

Boise, Jan. 4.-Captain X. w. Plummer,
manager of the Delamar mine, left for
home today after having made a careful
examination of the Black Hornet near this
place. 1t is believed that he will purchase
1t. 1t was reported some weeks ago that
he had secured ii, but there was some
hitch at that time. Now there is nothing
standing in the way of the sale but the
result Of the sampling, which will be
known in a few days. The point to be
determined is the value of very large bod
les or ore that are two low grade to ship.
Much OF this has been developed during
the operations OF green owners, who have
been taking out the high grade mineral.
If it goes as high as supposed the sale
will undoubtedly be made.
