WHY HOARD FAVORS 1T.

The man who always insists on a
dollar that is worth 100 cents reminds
us of the grocer down east who proved
that his scales were right by counting
the notches and showing that there
were exactly sixteen ounces in each
pound. Such proofs do not prove any
thing: The 100 cent dollar may be dis
honest, because it is too high-priced,
as the scales were dishonest because
they gave false weight in spite of the
notches. The sixteen ounces to the
pound and the 100 cent dollar count for
nothing unless they too, are standard
measure. Hence we favor the double.
standard because we realize that the
gold dollar alone is necessarily con
stantly approaching standard and that
all the gold and all the silver chat has
ever been mined or is likely to be
mined will scarcely be enough to serve
the nations of the earth as money of Ill
innate redemption Montevideo Leader.

ABOVE SUSPICION.

Last week the Pioneer Press gave the
sentiment of thirty-six counties on the
gubernatorial contest, which stood
nineteen counties for Clough, and the
other seventeen about equally divided
between Gibbs, Lee, Van SAINT, Clapp
and Eustis. From the very beginning
of the contest Clough has been gradu-
ally gaining: while the others have
been gaining backward. Taking every
thing into consideration there isihard-
~ any doubt now but what Clough will
be nominated on the first ballot. Then,
too, few of those candidates will find
out that they are being used as figure
heads and will drop out just before
convention time and a majority of
their support will go to the governor,
all of which indicates now that nothing
short OF Mckinley waves can prevent
the nomination and election Of Gov.
Clough. The people of Minnesota
have begun to realize that the present
administration is above suspicion, hon
est and carried out for the best inter
est OF the people, and believe in keep
ing ClOugh there for at least one more
term.-Mo1ris Tribune.

The fight over the gubernatorial
question is one between the people and
the aristocrats. Because Clough was
a poor laboring man at one time, the
members of the snobocracy of Mime

OF the State to endorse the stand they
have taken. It won't go down in.

d.lapdated appearance. nearly all OF her
cabins and the woodwork on the upper
deck having been consumed during the pc
riod of her last trip from this port. when
she ran short of coal. After having taken
on sufficient coal at Honolulu 20 continue
her voyage the Rio proceeded 10 Yoke
hama, where. after an uneyentsul voyage
she arrived and underwent temporary re-
pairs.
The ships officers bring little news OF
the epidemic. HoDgkong has been declared
an infected port and the steamship line
from there to Vladivostock has suspended
operations. AT Kobe general quarantine
station has been established. and system
atic efforts are made TO combat the dread
diseases. Other than the black plague,
cholera and smallpox in a virulent form
have made their appearance. In Japan
more modern methods are employed than
IN China. and as a result the death rate Is
lower in Japan.
