restore the prosperity to the country
that had been destroyed by the enact

THE WAY TO RESTORE CoNFID-

Major Mckinley said in part:
The way to restore confidence is to have
a settled tariff policy that will enable the
manufacturers of this country to know
just what their competition will be abroad
and then prepare for it. Then, more than
| that, we want to have currency in this
country that is Interchangeable in value and
equal to the best money In the world. We
want everybody in and out of this country

is the dollar that you have now and the

getting enough of them Is because you

THAT GRAND JURY.

Last winter the legislature Of
this state enacted a law doing

in extreme cases whore the states
attorney might petition the court
for "a grand jury to Investigate
some special case or cases. Not
withstand1ng this we have had a
grand jury just the same and all

jury has been gone over. We
have no criticism to offer against
the men who sat OF this jury as
they no donbt followed in the
footsteps Of all their predecessors,
but what mortal man can tell
what good they have done which
could not have accomplished with
out it? They show by their report
that one hundred 'and ffty-two
witnesses were examined by them,
and Investigation will show that
many Of these witnesses came
long distances and had to be
supoenaed by the sheriff. The
grand jury was in session for
twenty-five days at a cost of about
$40, excluding all sheriffs and
witnesses fees. Tax payers do
you comprehend the expense Of
this luxury? At q future date we
expect to give you the exact cost
Of this grand jury. We would not
offer this criticism were it not for
the fact that all criminals and
law breakers can be brought to

A CRY FOR MORE BONDS.
Since the dispute between the
United States and Great Britton,
on the Venezuelan Boundary ques-
ton a new demand is made for
another bond issue on account of
the present scarcity of money. If
this question in regard to Venezu-
ella should lead to a conflict Russia
has offered us a loan Of $500, O00,-
600 in gold on a moments notice
and bills have been introduced for
raising the tariff so as to add $780,
.000,000to the treasury for it's re-
lief. So far as the present indica-
tions 60 on the Venezuela ques-
ton it would seem that Russia is
anxious for a war for the sole pur-
pose of humilieating England and
purhaps for a second reason that
she may get American gold for
her security; this is probably the
reason for her willingness to loan
us the money offered. Should
var happen between the two great
nations we believe it would be the
greatest mistake in a century; we
do not believe they want war and
is most foolish for England to re.
fuse arbitration or for her to
plunge into war. She would loose
at least one fifth of her trade and
foreign commerce that she now
receives from this country, and
especially those things upon
which her people live. She is in
great danger if she goes into Wal
with an American nation Of loose
ing all her American colonies.
We believe this question will be
settled by arbitration aud that
England will decide to do 50. It
is the American desire as a patri-
otto people to MAINTAIN our rights
through the means of peace. And
it is our further desire to see the
very letter Of the Monroe doctrine
maintained.
But consider this whole Vene-
zuela question, 1t is according to
our opinion a speculative scheme
and for a new issue Of bonds in
this country and to draw more
gold from the reserve to the detri-
ment of the nation and the benefit
of foreign bankers and foreign
spectators.

POVERTY AND MORALITY.

being done to Tighten the burdens
and elevate the general morals of
humanity by good people with the
best Of intentions which is almost
q waste of time. It is a recogniz-
able fact that all our great cities
are rapidly becoming dens of
thieves, cestpools Of moral degre-
dation-great schools Of learning
as it were in all kinds of evil and
crimes which are constantly pour
ing forth an army of graduates in
all things which debase and lower
humanity in the world and poi
soning the whole race. Who has
not observed with alarm the rapid
growth of the slums in all our
cities and towns which seethe and
Tester like some great sore upon
civilization on the one hand and
the bold daring schemers for plum
dering the masses by the so called
better clesses on the other. The
growth of the slums which is COM
posed of the lower element or the
poorer classes has brought into
existence great organizations Of
charity without which hundreds
and thousands mot Of the weak in
valid class alone but stout able
bodied men) would starye to death
every year. Many good people
spend all their time in trying to
tighten the burdens and relieve
the sufferings of the poor who are
unable to support themselves.
Then comes those who wonld ele-
waite the morals Of these people
and spend much time and money
in establishing missions and keep
ing workers among them; all of
which is commendable and those
engaged in it are entitled to much
credit for their good intention at
Last. But how many have given
this subject a second thought?
Are you not commencing at the
wrong end? Are you not fighting
an effect while you are assisting
and abetting the cause day after
day? Be not to quick to answer
no. What is at the bottom OF
ninety per cent Of the crimes com
mitted; is it not poverty or the
fear Of coming to it? We say yes.
"The hell of poverty is the one all
men most fear" says a modern
writer; and this fear has become
SO strong among those who witness
the awful miseries of those who
fall into it, that every device
known to civilization and every
scheme for the acquisition OF
wealth, no matter how unjust OF
immoral is resorted to by what is
known as the business men or bet
ter classes, till their consciences
are scared and insensible. We
cannot escape the conclusion that
he who would drive crime and i'm
morality out Of the world must
first drive poverty and the fear Of
it away. Show us a man who can
not earn q living for himself and
family and is forced to accept
charity for any length of time and
we will show you a man who has
lost his independence and with it
self respect; and when his self re-
spect is gone ell is gone and he
Yields to every crime that will give
him q living II pleasure; for why
should he refrain when he has no
self respect or reputation to up
hold. We have the two extremes
