there would be no doubt that the whole SlOO OO0O,OOO could be sold in that way without any contraction of the cur renoy being caused, The national banks hold nearly S2OO,OO0,0oO in gold. It would also be easy, this bank presi- dent says to organize syndicate who for & commission of per cent. would underwrite the issue at the price named and take all the bonds that were not taken by the national banks. This plan, he says, would, in his opinion, do away with all opposition to the loan, the necessity for which is conceded by all business men. All that would be necessary to do would be for the comptroller of the currency or the sec- retary of the treasury to send cir cular to every national bank direct asking them how many bonds they would take at a certain price, circula- tion to be Issued against them imme- dlately or as soon as might be desired by the banks.
 And the New York World makes an impressive double-leaded appeal to the President In which it says; You have spoken eloquent words about the neces- sity of rtposing confidence in the peo- ,,Ta g), them to come to the rescue of the treas ury instead of hiring a syndicate to do so at an extortionate price? You can get all the gold you need in Europe at per cent. or less premium. You can get 1t in our own country without pay ing any premium at all. An issue of fifty millions of bonds would complete ly meet present needs, and such an issue at per cent or on a per cent. basis would be subscribed many times over The very bankers who have bar gains with you for a profit of ten or fifteen millions would be the eagerest subscribers the moment they found that the loan would be offered in no other way. As for the fear that they would consplre to draw the reserve out of the treasury, there is nobody who would regard such a transaction with greater apprehension than they. The wrecking of the currency by a suspen- sion of gold redemption would cost them many more millions than they expect to make even out of this bond deal. It is a great game, and Democratic government is great. But let us hope that the country will be saved, either by the people or the syndicate.

SOME COMMON SENSE.

In his msEsage at the opening of Con- grses the President was very particu- lar not to say much about the tariff, and he was also particular in what he
 did say about it to make it as plain as he could that the tariff had little or nothing to do with the financial woes of the country. Of course he couldn't make 1t very plain, but he did the best he could. Senator Sherman in his pow erful speech yesterday made it perfect ly plain that the tariff ha6 a great deal to do with the trouble. He said that the President has mistaken the cause Of our present financial condition in at- tTibuting it to the demand for gold for United States notes instead of the de- ficislfcy of revenue caused by the legis- lation of tllss last Congress and has placed the effect before the cause. And he added; The only difficulty in the way of an easy maintenance of our notes at par with coin is the fact that during this adminfs tration the reve- nues of the government have not been sufficient to meet the expenditure authorized by Congress. If Congress had provided the neceFsary revenue or if the President and MT. Carlisle had refused to expend appropriations not mandatory in form, but permissive, so as ito confine expenditures within re- ceipts, they would have no difficulty with the reserve.
 This is remarkably Nike common Eense. Mere income thain outgo usually tends toward solvency and good credit.

The application of the local option or local veto liquor law in Indiana directs attention to the strong sentiment against the liquor traffic ln the rural districts of that State Remonsuanoes against the granting Of licences receive the signatures of nine farmers out OF ten, and of the same proportion of ciu. zens in the villages, This is rot due to the fact that this proportion of the peo- pie are Prohibitionists, but because these small towns are absolutely with out police protection, and because the people look upon the saloon as con- stant source of annoyance and q mem ace to peace and good order. In Car roll, White, Cass and Clinton counties it is expected that within a year there will not be 8 saloon outside of the coun" try seats. It might be expected that the result would be to cause the drink ing element in the country towns to flock to the county seats. But there is TO complaint yet on that score from the officials of the cities. Indeed, the sa- loon keepers of Delphi and adjoining cities testify that their business is not as good as 1t was before the country saloons were closed.

ToIstoi, who is now 67 years old. is described as white-haired, but wonder fully energetic. He is busy the whole day. His hours in his study are lone, and he seeks relief from them only in active physical exercises such as most men would regard as work. All the morning he devotes to writing.

They now go with him on his excur- sions.

DE. LAMESoN,s PLOT.

If Dr. Jameson has been shot he has lessly invaded the Boer republic. Of course he acted on his own responsibil- ity. At least everybody who had any responsibility said he did as soon as it was known that his bold scheme was 8 failure. There are those who are mean enough to think and to say that if he had succeeded and defeated the Dutch there might have been acquiescence at London in the result, as it would have further extended British possessions in South Africa, and in rich gold region. And notwithstanding the statements made by Joseph Chamberlain, and the assertions of the Governor of Cape Col ony, Premier Rhodes, and the manag- ing director of the British South Africa Company, the Paris Figaro insists that pr. Jameson did not act without having received orders to do so from Premier Rhodes, who, in turn, was in comnu- nication with England. The Figaro says: 'The English simply wish to do with mines as a pickpocket does with ones purse, and with the help of well organized hustle"
 But the yillainy failed, Dr. Jameson is dead, or not much better off, and the English are unwilling to admit that they ever Knew him. Occasionally things do turn out about right. And lovers of liberty the world over are thinking and saying, Bully for the bold Boers!

Something new in the way of a secret society has been evolved in Maine. lh- stead of going back to medieval times for inspiration the founders took the conditions lying next their hands, and in place of loading the officers with grandiose and grotesque titles the un- derstandable commonplace is drawn on.

Dr. Arthur, an army surgeon station ed at Vancouver barracks, Washington, has successfully reduced the rate of in- toxtcation among the men by a new treatment, based on the theory that such offenders have been encouraged by too lax methods in old times, He says of the present system: "Each man who has reported at the hospital in any stage of simple alcoholism is treated as case of alcoholic poisoning, taken immediately to the operating room, his stomach emptied by the use of ss stom- ach pump, and thoroughly washed out with warm ? per cent soda solution. After this he is given a bowl of hot beef extract, with Cayenne pepper, allowed an hours rest, after which he is gener- ally perfectly able, however unwilling, to do his duty.'

there and asked Walter Brinkman and an

passed by on his way home. Directly after
the murder he boarded a street car and
rendered the conductor a ten dollar BILL

Tonight the circumstantial evidence
against young Smith was so strong that
the father of the boy filed an affidavit

SICK OF THE BARGAIN.

sick of its bargain. Poor Martin had to

mitted, from the State candidates and their
friends. The hair-pulling lasted until late
into the night and Martin found relief only
when II o'clock came and the last candidate
had to hustle from the Grand Hotel for his
train. AT that hour Judge Cyrus F. Nc
Mutt, father of the candidate for Attorney
general, came out of the consultation room.
He was unhappy and did not care who
knew it. Il do not regard the thing

Yes, sir an outrage. The candidates them

it was common talk about the Grand Hotel

make the bluff good remains to be seen.
Certain it is, however, that they will not

what they have already sunk, they would
give a nice sum to have the way pointed
out to them.
