THE INVENTIONS VALUE.

Perhaps this does not bring to your
mind any very clear or vivid idea of the
immense value of this invention Take
1t another way. The other day Dr.

little speculation in figures. Supposing
that by DR.. Jacques's process all the
engine and power plants in the United
States could be reproduced for, say one

that they could be run for one-fifth

"Mrs. Adeline Bentel, of Hudson, Ohio,
arrived here yesterday on visit to her
daughter, Mrs. o. w. Chapman. She ill.,
tends to remain for some weeks"
When the above little item of news was
published few days ago, it caused no little
surprise as well as some incredulity among
the people Of Marietta, Ohio, where Mrs.
Bentel lives when she is at home. Not but
what the lady in question has perfect right
to travel and to 90 to see her children when.
ever she may happen to feel so inclined. But
her neighbors, who for several years have
known her as a bed.ridden cripple, were at
loss to understand how she had managed
to do it,. She was generally supposed to be
so entirely helpless that motion Of any kind
on her part was simply impossible, Some
of the inhabitants of Hudson, led by q nat.
ural desire to Learn the facts of the matter,
actually went>so far as to call at the lady s
home to investigate the subject for them
selves.
Mr.. Henry Bentcl, her son, when asked
about the matter was not ut first inclined to
give anybody any satisfaction beyond the
mere statement that his mother was not at
home. Finally, however, after considerable
urging he consented to talk.
"Iou know" said he, "that my mother,
like many sick people, is sensitive on the
subject of her bodily ailments. She always
disliked to talk about them and always in
sisted that she would be well in a little
while. For all of that, her left side was p;.
ralyzed for several years and our family ply.

presently extend itself to other parts of the

Mrs. Bcntel confirmed in all its essential

FROM SOUND MONEY SOURCES.

."The credit and honor of the
The recent popular verdict, which has
declared in favor of the use of both gold
and silver money, but at the same time
the maintenance of the best and high
est standard, so that every dollar shall
be of equal value, should be accepted
and adhered to."-Gov. Bradley.
Colorado increased her gold out
put by S7,5OO,000, rising from $10,500,-
900 in 1894 to $1s,ooO,OOo in 1895. This
is in the actual output. Millions more
have been made, and of course lost by
some one, in the stock speculations.
The Colorado papers now claim su-
premacy for their state as q gold pro-
ducing region, exceeding California
nnd second only to the Transvaal re-
gion of South Africa. Copper, coal, lead
and iron all show an increased output
in that state and the farmers and fruit
growers have come into increased prom
inence. Altogether the outlook for the
Centennial state is not as bad as the
silvcrites would have had us believe
Iowa State Register.
LIN 1894 the output of gold in Col
orado was $11,235, SOC; of silver, $14,-
721,750. In 1895 the output of gold was
S17,340, ADS; of silver, $14,259,040. For
the first time in its history the gold out
put exceeded the silver output. No
wonder Colorado has regained sanity
on the money question. 1t no longer
hangs all its hopes on the prosperity of
the silver mines. There is silence in the
tents of Wolcott and Teller. Colorado
is no more the crushed and Respondent
silver state. 1t is the great eXultant
gold state. Its malady was what the
doctors of medicine call "refX neuro-
sis," and it's bodily prosperity has
healed its brain.-Chicago Times-Her-

The silver mine interest and it's
supporters are practicing the same
highwayman's methods. They will do
nothing to protect the public credit, to
sustain the gold reserve, to place the
financial affairs of the country on q
safe basis unless the illimitable coinage
of silver shall be provided for in the
laws to be enacted. Their plan is in
finitely worse than that of the protec-
'tion bulldozers. They will not do any
thing to help the public credit unless
their silver shall be bought and coined

STREETS ANKLE DEEP IN SUGAR.
Ex-Gov. Hoard Recalls an Incident OF the

Late UnpIeasantness.
Among the distinguished gentlemen
who are at present in the city, fresh
from the meeting at Vicksburg in rela-
tion to the establishment of the nation
al park Mt that place, is eX-Gov. w. d.
Hoard, of Wisconsin. Gov. Hoard is an
old friend of New Orleans, notwith-
standing the fact that his first ac-
quaintance with the city and it's attrac-
tions was made under peculiar cir
cumstances. 1t was during the time
that tried mems souls; when the forces
of the union were encamped at the out
er gates and the confederate troops
were seriously thinking how best to
get out of the warm location. Gen.
Lovell,who was in command of New Or
leans when the confederates in charge
of Gen. Butler were knocking for ad
mittance, finally concluded that thebest
thing to do under the circumstances
was to evacuate, and by this action turn
the city over to the tender mercies of
the opposed forces.
Gov. Hoard was among the federals
who constituted the troops of the great
and only Butler, and when this general,
with his soldiers, marched into the
city Gov. Hoard marched with him,
1t was then that the governor-he was
not then a governor-receivedh his first
impressions of a city which at that
time had achieved greatness among the
commercial centers of the country.
These impressions have never died in
his memory.

Awful Deed of a Chlcagoan.

ter Monday from Peter Hougaard, of
Englewood, informing him by the time
it was received the writer would be
dead. Gibbons at once communicated
with the police station at Englewood
and an officer was sent to Hougaard's
house, where he found the dead bodies
of Hougaard, his wife and five chill
dren, who had been asphyxiated by gas
The dead are: Peter Hougaard, Mrs.
Hougaard, Jennie, Olga, Maud, Hans
and Stella Hougard.
The jets of every gas fixture in the
house had been turned on, and the
cracks of the windows and doors had
been plugged with cotton. Death had
evidently overtaken every member OF
the family except the father while
they slept.
Friends of Hougaard, who was milk
dealer, say that in business transac-
tion year ago he took several notes
which have long since fallen due, but
were never paid, and it is thought that
this may have caused his dependency.

oUTWITTED SCHEMERS.
FREQ Silver Senators OutgeneraIed by the
President.

Free Silver Senators Outgeneraled by the
President.
The president outmanuevered the free
silver schemers of the senate when he an
ticipated by a full day their real pur-
pose. Instead of having an intention to
authorize the president to issue anynew
or could take, the true object of this
dishonorable and perverse faction is
disclosed in bald free silver coinage
scheme.
Had their bill been reported before the
president had announced his bond pur-
chase proposal the credit of the country
would have suffered blow that might
have staggered public faith for mo-
ment and made the financial institu-
tions of the United States shiver like a
stanch ship in sudden squall. But
the ship would have only shivered. 1t
would have risen nobly on the gale and
pursued the even tenor of it's way, the
wind whistling through it's yards, i'm
potent for harm.
1t is cause for congratulation that
even if the miscalled popular bond
scheme fail, as it must in all proba-
bility. the stealthy and treacherous
course of the free silver swindlers can
not even temporarily succeed. They
lave been outplayed. The president has
left no ground for assailing his meth
ods. He has turned aside from the pro-
fcssional bankers, as the Elkins resolu-
tion suggested he should; and instead
nt,-oo NJ wit I,a
controllers of the accessible gold stock
OF the country, who could be bound to
take no gold out of the treasury to full
fill their contract for delivery of the
yellow metal, he has offered the entire
issue of new bonds in the open.
AT the same time, just in time to
nullify the wretched tactics of the sill
yer swindlers, he announces that he
reserves the right to reject any and all
bids and to secure gold for the replen-
ishment and maintenance of the gold
reserve on the best terms that he can
make for the government.
The silver schemers in the senate can
talk to doomsday over their dishonest
and futile bill. The congress of the
IIiUSu pliucS Will uOU cuuCU Ollc llUe Ol
it into law. By an impregnable major
ity the house will reject every vicious
proposal of q financial nature. Mean
while the president will admit that in
calling the present bond output pop
ular" bond issue, he merely quoted the
terms, as he adopted the suggested
methods, of his critics; and if the plan
fail the failure is theirs, not his.
Meanwhile also the gold reserve will
be speedily carried up to the legal mark
and beyond the reach of further injury.
1t may be necessary to do this through
a syndicate contract; and the president
will not finch from that recourse to ac-
complish his object.

| plotters being confessed-and foiled-

legitimate business and pay no further
attention to free silver coinage plots OF

You see, the fact of the blockade of the
port had caused vast quantity of the
products of the south. chiefly sugar and
cotton, to pile up in the city, and the
inability of its owners to ship the stuff
resulted in the warehouses being filled
to overhowing. When Gen. Lowell real
lied that he must give up the fight and
leave the city he determined to render
it impossible for the union soldiers to
make use of the accumulation of stores.
To this end he gave orders for it's de-
struction, and hundreds of hogsheads
of new sugar were violated and their
contents cast into the streets just like
so much river sand. 1t was useless
commodity for the time being and great
masses of the stuff were piled up where
the destruction occurred. When we
marched into the section of the city
where the sugar had been stored we
literally waded in sugar. never saw
such waste in all my life in this respect,
while all along the levee front were the
evidences of the burning of the cotton
which had been stored there waiting
for an opportunity for shipment to Eu-

FAILS IN ITS DUTY.
The Shameful Quibbiing of Congress II
tho Bond Matter,

tho Bond Matter.
The saith congress is disappointing
the expectations of the country in its
financial Legislation. The president,
by his stand on the Venezuelan ques.
tion, created the possibility of war with
Great Britain. The one prime requisite
of warfare is money, and plenty of it,
Somuch would be needed by the United
States, and so rapidly, that it would be
impossible to raise thy taxation. The
burden would be too great. Hence IL
would be necessary to spread that bur.
den over the next so years or so, by bor-
rowing the money-that is, by issuing
bonds-to be gradually paid back.
Now, a country as great and as
wealthy as ours is able to carry n very
large bonded debt. There would be no
difficulty in selling the bonds-none
whatever--if it were not for deficit in
our monetary laws.
That deficit is, that we have two sep
crate and distinct things which the law
calls n dollar. One contains certain
number of grains of gold; the other
contains certain number of grams of
silver. The law absolutely says these
two things are equal in value, when
the cold, hard fact is that one is worth
only about half as much as the other.
So far as the law can go, these two
coins are held at parity. The less
valuable passes for as much as the
other, because the government indi-
rectly, but quite effectually, exchanges
the less valuable coin for the more
valuable one. This, however, is con-
dition of unstable equilibrium, liable
to be destroyed by any great shock.
War would furnish such shock to
the country's finances. A gold dollar
and n silver dollar would not pass for
the same value. One would be worth
about double the other.
Then would come the question:
(which kind of dollars will the gov
ernment pay when it pays interest OH
these bonds, and when it redecms
them?"
Which ought it to pay, in order to be
honest and keep faith?
Evidently it should pay in which
ever represents the value of the dollar
when the bonds are sold. If man
paid for bond dollar on the gold basis,
he ought to be paid back on n gold
basis.
But though our dollars are now on
a gold basis, congress foolishly refuses
to make the bonds payable specifically
on gold basis. In place of saying
"gold" in the bonds, it puts in the word
"coin," which may mean either gold or
silver.
1t is shame to our lawmakers that
they quibble about such plain matter.
There is neither sense nor reason in it.
They are trifling with the national
credit in leaving the way open to the
possibility of bad faith and partial
reputation in the future. For they
have shown in the bond bill which has
passed the house, how they would do
should they be called on to provide for
borrowing money to carry on great
