Naturalist Far Away Over the. Sea.
Copyright, 1896, by the Author.l
WHAT'S that you say? A stranger
here and sick with fever? Let me have
look at him. = It was strong. hearty
voice that heard on the other side of
the partition separating my small bed
room from the living apartment Of the
Widow Higham's boarding house. It
was brisk and breezy, and yet SO long
had lain there on the hard, hot Bed,
in that little stifled room, racked with
pains and at times unconscious, that I
thought it must be but a part of my
daily delirium, in which Il 7reamed Of
soft breezes and fields OF - .et scented
sane. But it was no delusion this time;
for the owner of the voice burst oper
the rickety door and entered my room.
He was big and stalwart Scotchman,
horid Of complexion and brusque Of
manner, whom 20 years in the West In
dies had mellowed into perfect type OF
his GLASS. He was the manager of q
large sugar plantation down the coast,
having hundreds Of black laborers un-
Ger him and exercising autocratic sway
over his humble depelslents; hence his
rough and ready manner; hence his ten
der heart, which prompted him to seek
an interview with a perfect stranger, of
whom he had never heard the name
even till that very day.
Pardon me, sir, - he said as soon as
he caught sight Of my prestrate form,
'but hear you have been month ill,
and the doctor tells me you need a
change Of air. Now, have come to take
you down to my estate. The steamer
starts at 3. 1t is now II. Can you be
ready to go with me?'
II don't know" answered feebly.
''It is very kind of you, but I have not
been on my feet for nearly month. -
Every well, then; it's settled. I'LL
send my boy in to gather up your traps.
Don't you move till he. gets. his arms
around you. Leave it all to me and him
l know just how you feel; it's an exer-
tion to think
The passage from my sickbed to the
little coast steamer was blank. but the
sea breezes revived me, and by the time
we had arrived opposite the estate of
Rutland Vale. my new friends planta-
tion, was able to walk, with an as
sistant at either arm. A couple of horses
were in waiting. I was helped into the
saddle Of one Of them, and then sup.
ported to the great house," which was
about half a mile from the landing
There we were welcomed by hand
some, motherly woman, the CHEEKY con-
sort Of my hospitable host, and I was
made at home at once. Through the
house and around the verandas romped
troop Of children, of ages varying from
3 to II years, blithesome, merry lot,
who were for the moment rather abash.

LAKE OF THE WOODS REGION.

While our northern neighbors be-
yond the international boundary are
greatly elated and excited over the
rich gold deposits in the country
about the Lake Of the Woods, they
are not entirely oblivious to other
great riches and advantages VIII ich
that country is showing up. The
Ottawa Flag, in its last issue, points
out that the immense water power
capable of development is not the
least of the resources of wealth in
that region.
The dam already constructed by
the Keewatin Power company is
pointed out as only the beginning of
the development that has just begun
in the neighboshood. Of the Lake Of
the Woods. The dam now controls
not less than 80, 600 square miles, and
has the Lake of the Woods with it's
area of 5000 square miles as a mill
pond. One Of the objects in the near
future is the transmission Of 5000
horse power to Winnipeg, on the
same principle as that adopted at
Niagara Falls, and the City Of Buf-
falo.
Another thing is worthy OF the at
tention Of Americans on this side Of
the line, ard that is the immense pos
sibilities Of the milling industries of
that region under the influence Of
that magnificent water power. Dis
patch.

Currency catechlsm.

The following catechism on the cur-
rency question is from the Chicago
Times Herald. .Aiter reading ID, cut il

q. What's the whole body of rgrrau
cy Of the United states today?
f.. Paper, iI5, coo, 600, silver, $685.
100000 gold, &G12, GOO, 600,

At. Gold, by means oi Which ali the
silver and all tae paper are worth 100
cents 10 the dollar,
%. What would be the Greet il we
should abandon the existing gold staua-
ard
Isl, AIi die gold would leave The couu-
try in accordance with the never ques-
toned law tfat a superior money will
not remain iu tho country where an Iu-
lerior money is Che standard. Silyerttes
admit that gol8 is sixteen times more
valuable than silver. That IS what the
ratio 81 lG 70 4 means. In truth, to-
day sold rs tGirty-two times yalu-
able nan silver.
G. What amount oil money would be
thus withdrawn from the country il
the silver standard should besubstituted
Tor the gold standard ?
4. SIX hundred and twelve million
dollars, contracting the currency TO
that amount and Gripping the country
accordingly.
Q. II the silver standard were sub
stituted for the existing gold standard,
what would be the effect on the $780,
100000 OF silver now worth 100 cents to
the dollar?
A. The entire quantity OF silver dol
lars would be worth their weight in sill
yer per ounce, which varies from week
to week like the price OF wheat, and the
immediate effect would be TO reduce the
S610,000,0 900 to $305, 600, 900, the
present value OF silver per ounce in the
coins, thus contracting the currency of
the country to this additional amount,
making a totalcontraction OF S917 ,00O,-
900.
Q. What would be the effect on the
paper in our currency if we should sub
stitute the silver standard for the eX-
listing gold standard?
A. The S475, 100000 OF paper, today
worth 100 cents to the dollar on the
existing gold standard, would at once
decline to so cents on the dollar on the
silver standard, based on the price of
| silver today, the immediate effect being
to reduce the value of the paper now in
the currency to S237, 500, 900.
@. BY abandoning the existing gold
standard for the silver standard, what
then would be the first net result?
A. The loss to the country of 81, 1884,
SOC, 900, every dollar worth 100 cents
by reason of the existing gold standard.
Q. What do you deduce from this?
A. That we need all the money we
have, and that We want every dollar to
be worth 100 cents.
Q. How can we keep all the money
we have and keep every dollar worth 100
cents?
A. BY preserving the existing gold
standard.

That Fearful Landslide !
Rowdla Pionear.


That Gland slide' up in Campbell
County is one of the most terrible
Affections that has ever yet befallen
the Republican party. As soon as
they can get together and consider
the matter, they will of course imme-
diately throw up the sponge and
give up the battle against such fear
full odds. Three ordinary every day
citizens of the county OF Campbell
have left the Republican party and
Joined the pops! This is fearful !
No wonder the Courier uses up all
the black face type in the office !
Such an addition to the populist
party probably exceeds their widest
expectations. Considered seriously,
this little incident is not even worthy
of passing notice, for there is not
a day but the Republican party is
gaining three times this many of the
solid, substantial men of brains who
have heretofore had some things in
common with the so-called pops"
of Campbell County, but who can't
GO the insane actions of these fellows.

Loucks at Work.
Aberdeen News.

H. L. Loucks and other populists
of that persuasion are trying to get
up a state ticket composed in part of
free silver Republicans, while the
Kyle faction wants to throw the side
places to the democrats. Loucks is
exceedingly active and is putting
up a job on the senator which will
make his eyes stick out when the
details are exposed at Huron. Mr.,
Loucks will find, however, that Re-
publicans who would add strength
to the ticket are not accepting pop
ulist nominations this year.

Col. Jolly's Position.

Col. Jolly's action in declining to
longer run for governor is construed
by many populist papers throughout
the state to mean his desertion of
the Republican party. Mr.. jolly

ly has not mol will not leave the
Republican fold. He sees in the

his ballot as usual next November

The two Ex.'s, Secretary Whitney
and Gov. Boies, are having a lively
scrap as to what constitutes the dem
ocratic party, evidently each one
thinking that he himself is the
essence of it. 1t appears to an out

until after the November election.
There will be trouble in locating it

day is employment at wages which
will enable the working men to live

living prices and you will not hear

phia Ledger says
The free silver agitation simply
repeats the greenback craze, which
spread over the same locality like
wild-fire twenty years ago, and
which died ont as quickly as it came
into being. 1t is based on the fool
ish notion hat 9 nation can make
something out of nothing and pass it
as legal tender the world over.
Other countries would not support
us in our delusions, and the expert
ment of free silver, after a disastrous
trial, would leave the United States
on a cheap money basis, its credit
gone and its dishonor proclaimed.
