SHE RIDES AWHEEL.
Miss Helen Kellar. the Deaf, Dumb and
 Blind Girl

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. l.-During sunshiny streak in the weather Friday afternoon tandem bicycle sped down Massachusetts avenue. A red ribbon fiuttered gayly from the handlebar. and the two young women who propelled the machine laughed aloud with glee. On the front seat, steering, sat Miss Amy Suter of Cambridge. On the rear seat was perched Helen Kellar, deaf, dumb and blind girl, who is studying at Radcliffe College. Her yellow hair streamed in the wind and her face was bright with smiles.
 No one who did not know her could have perceived that she was sightless, for she rode fearlessly and well.
 Helen kellar was born in Alabama July 7, 1880, her father being $ former Confederate officer and later a United States marshal. No at tempt at education was made for the first seven years of her appar- ently hopeless life.
 It was when about IS months old that she lost all her senses but that of .toueh. In 1887 she was taken to the Parkins scool for the blind in ! Boston and placed under the care of Miss Sullivan, who devoted her life to the tduca ion of the little unfortu- nate
 Three years later she had learned to articulate, and with rapidity undreamt of by those who had to do with children in the possession of their full faculties.
 In 1894 she was removed to the Wright Hampson school in New York City. refusing to become an in- mate of a school built in London and named after her. Soon after that she became apt in Interpreting the speech of others by feeling their lips. and now is able to communi- cate with anyone within reach ofher sensitive finger tips.
 Six weeks ago Miss kellar passed the entrance examination at Rad cliffe College, the Harvard annex. in English. German. French and history.

WHAT is RIMETALLISM?

A great many people who insist that
they are bimetsllists, do not know
what they mean by bimetsllism, nor
do they know what bimetallism is ss
defined by economists. What is more,
they do not know that Popullsts sdVo-
cate blmetslllsm in Its proper sense.
John Sherman says the coinage sys-
tenn Of the United States, Of Great
Britain and Germany, is bimetsllic,
and he defines bimetsllism to be un-
limited coinage of gold at the legal
value, and limited coinage of silver
at the market value. That is to say:
Coin all the gold brought to the mints
into legal tender coins; and Of silver,
to purchase the bullion at market price
and coin only so much Of it as, when
used as money, Its circulation will not
affect the value of gold.
That is the doctrine Of the Republi-
can party, as it Is the doctrine of the
Democrat party. Rather than redeem
greenbacks or treasury notes with sill
YER coin, although millions Of it is ly-
ing in the treasury idle, they prefer to
sell bonds for gold. This is gold mono.
metalllsm. PopuliSts would pay out
silver coin the same as gold coin, and
they would open the miuts to both
metals alike. "We demand free and
unlimited coinage Of silver and gold at
the present legal ratio Of 16 to l." says
our party platform. And that is bi-
metAllism.
Economists define the term to mean
the equal coinage of both metals at q
ratio fixed by law.
The present ratio is sixteen of silver
to one Of gold; that 10, sixteen ounces
or pounds Of silver to be equal in value
to one ounce or pound of gold. Bi-
mStalllSm, then, at the present time
and under existing law, means just
what the Populisr platform demands
free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to l. Who
are the bimetallists, prayP

by all Of them that the legitimate bust
ness Of banking is to supply the people
with money. Banks must issue paper
to circulate as money; but the sort of
money they issue must be redeemed"
What Superlative nonsense this is. Is
gold to be redeemedP Is silver to be
EedeemedP Finsncisrs of the Walker
school will answer, "No, gold and sill
yer need no redemption because they
are money" Then why permit any
body to send out among the people
anything to be used as money that is
not money! And if there is not gold
and silver enough to perform all the
monetary functions, is bark paper
better than government paperP Our
bonds, even when issued and sold in
violation of law, bring high premium
among bankers and speculstors. Why
is thisP Only because our credit as a
people is good. Is that credit any less
sound in a note than a bondP Would
these bankers and spectators pay o
premium on bank bonds?
The great trouble with Mr.. Walkers
plan is, that he builds it on the idea
that nothing but gold is safe basis
for money. He does not know that sll
the property of the people is worth
more tSsn any one article, even though
that be gold.

ANOTHER EVIDENCE OF REDEMPTION.

ANOTHER EVIDENCE OF REDEMPTION.
The latest development in connection
with the redeemer administration is a
disgraceful fight at the Reform School.
Some time ago Gardener Able went to
Assistant Superintendent Jones for
some teams with which to plow the
school garden and prepare for spring
work. Jones thought the teams were
not to be used for that purpose. Able
told Jones his action indicated desire
to delay the work of gardening and to
necessitate the making of poor show
ing for the school. This did not meet
with q pleasant reception from the
Assistant Superintendent, and the two
officers engaged In a fight in which
Jones was the sggressor. The matter
found its way into the Justice court,
but the redeemer County Attorney dis
missed the case, in order to prevent
further lack Of harmony,
There are very few people who willnot
agree that officers who will engage in q
disgrsceful fist fight over trivial matters
are not the best ones to have in charge
the work of reforming incorrigible
boys. They are not what would nstur-
ally be expected of an administration
elected to redeem" the State and con-
duct the affairs of State on "business"
principles. The example set the Re-

THE WALKER BANKING BILL.

Mr.. Walker, Chairman of the House
Committee on Banking and Currency,
has prepared a bill to establish new
system of banking. Perhaps it would
be better to say a different system,
rather than q new one. In explaining
his bill In speech recently, he said:
The confidence Of every class of people in
the existing financial system having been de-
stroyed, settled business conditions and pros
porous times can never return in ary other
way than by its thorough correction in sepa-
rating the financial and banking systems Of
the country, absolutely and forever, from the
United States treasury. The governmentmust
from now on be relieved from directly issuing
and putting in circulation, or being in any
way responsible for the current redemption"
Of any form Of paper money.

reason from false premises, comes to
unsound conclusions. It is assumed
