KEANE's SUCCESSOR.

An authority at the vatican, writing
on the subject of the deposition of
Bishop John J. Keane of the rectorship
CT the Catholic University of America,
says that his successor will be chosen
after the arrival in Rome of Cardinal
Satolli, late papal delegate to the Uni
ted States. All the vatican officials be-
lieve that Bishop Spalding of Peoria,
Illinois, will be appointed to the rec
torship, in view of his merit in obtain
ing the donation of 100000 made to the
university by Miss Caldwell.

One of the Great Successes Of the Day

During a recent interview with the manufact-
urers of Battle AK Plug Tobacco they said
they had been amply repaid for the enormous
amount of money which they have spent for
newspaper advertising by u wonderful increase
OF business. They claim that they have had an
excellent opportunity TO test the advantage OF
newspaper advC Using, because ever since they
started, manufacturers of other brands of plug
tobaccoS whe have for years made enormous
profits by giving to the consumers a small piece
of tobacco no better than Battle AK, imme-
diately recognized the fact that on account OF
the superior quality and liberal sized piece OF
Battle AK their businesses were in great
danger OF being curtailed. In their endeavor to
prevent this they waged bitter war against the
manufacturers Of Battle AK and resorted to
methods of all kinds which seem questionable
to business men who possess higher sense OF
honor and fair dealing. Notwithstanding all
this handicap the manufacturers of Battle
AK" through the medium Of their newspaper
advertisements, were able to tell the consumers
OF the high graue and fine quality of Battle
AK and the great economy derived from using
it. until to-day Battle AK is pronounced by
all the greatest success on the market and more
pounds Of 1t are sold than Of any other brand of
plug tobacco. So much for newspaper adver-
Using.

No Longer Wait.

Mr.. Carlisle in 1878, Congressional
Record, page A, volume 81, said: 81
don't believe that we should consult
England, England having demonetized
silver in 1916 and having steadily ad-
hered to the gold standard ever since,
cannot possibly have any representa-
ton or voice in the proposed conference
to consider the propriety of restoring
to silver again its money functions"
Yet Mr.. Carlisle, Mr.. Palmer, Mr.
Buckner and Mr.. Mckinley all want us
to wait until England says we can have
the double standard restored. You can
do away with the gold standard if you
will behave yourselves and be nice
little boy, says England. Mr.. Bryan
says: 1--WE will wait no longer. We
have had conference after conference
without satisfactory results, and Eng
land stubbornly refuses to aid us in i'll
ternational bimetallism. We will act
for ourselves. We are big enough,
strong enough and brave enough to dc
so and will.

VILE CONDUCT,

The demonstration of the Yale stu
dents in breaking up the Bryan speak
ing at New Haven has proven that all
the anarchists" and "mobs" are not
in sympathy with the democratic ticket
1t also shows the insolence OF wealth.
If Maj. Mckinley were to. speak in the
hottest democratic hole in the south he
would have been given O respectful
hearing by those who have the pro-
foundest contempt for his made-to-
order opinions. liz the goldbugs can
stand such treatment toward Mr.. Bryan
he certainly can, as it only makes him
votes. Money talks, but it has never
accomplished much without brains.

MORE LIGHT.
Henry Gcrnusch, the Famous French Bmct-
aliSt, Throws Light on the Subject of Money.


Question 81 understand that, in or
der to make your answer more intelli-
gible, you desire to give a general idea
of the nature and functions of money.
You will proceed with your answer in
that form which is the most in accor-
dance with your object.
Answer l will give you my defni-
ton of money. MONEY VALUE
CREATED BY LAW TO BEA SCALE
OF VALUATION AND A VALID
TENDER FOR PAYMENTS.
This definition of money is one that
embraces atthe same time paper money
and metallic money. Paper money GER
tainly is an inferior money, and metal
lie money is superior money, but they
are both money, and that would be an
incomplete definition which did not
embrace them both. "a VALUE GRE
ATED BY LAW" Certainly every
one understands that as regards paper
money the value is created by law, but
it is, perhaps, not easy for every one to
admit that, with regard to metallic
money also, the value is created by law.
1t is, however, the fact. If you sup.
pose that gold is not money, is not le-
gal tender if you suppose that silver
is not money, is not legal tender. the
value of gold and the value of silver is
lost. You have already seen the effect
OF stopping the coinage of silver in Eu.
rope, but, suppose the coinage of silver
is stopped everywhere suppose thai
after you have completed the coinage
of the $50, 0OO,0 in fractional curren
cy, which you are at this moment coin
ing, India would also stop the coinag,
OF silver-what would be the value O
silver? What would be the situation
of the miners -? The silver mines woulC
be stopped, These mines can only b.
worked when they are sure of produc
ing not only metal, but legal tender
What | say of silver l say in the sam
manner of gold. If England, France
Germany and the United States re
nounced the use of gold money-if ev
erywhere only silver money is adopted
and gold money is abandoned all tn
gold will remain without value. Al
the shareholders of the mines will b
ruined, because the value of thei
shares depends upon the legal fact tina
the metal extracted is legal tender.
do not say that some of the mines will
not remain open. | would illustrat
my meaning by citing the probabl
consequences to follow with referenc
to the opium of India. If China shout,
make law forbidding the use of opium
or if great temperance societies, who's
object was to restrain the use of opium
should become popular in China, wha
then would become of the poppy cult
waited in India? The culture would b
abandoned. Yet opium, nevertheless
would not disappear entirely. Tn
opium of Smyrna, on the Meditterra
mean, would still be cultivated as
medicine. The same process of reason
ing applies with reference to gold an
silver" See testimony of Henry Gen
nuschi in United States Monetary Com
mission, pages 473 and 474 second vol
ume.
