In 1892, the money plank read: 1.-THE

Republican party demands the use of
both gold and silver as standard

such provisions, to be determined by

CHARLES YANTEz, A WHITE BEAR
ELECTRIC MOTORMAN, LOSES
HIS LIFE
in A HEAD END COLLISION.
EAsT-BOUND CAR RUNS INTO AN
OPEN SWITCH NEAR THE HAIR
VEsTER WORKS.
PASSENGERS WE'RE FRIGHTENED,
But the Only Injury Was TO the Man
Who Lost His Lffe-How 1t
Happeneds

A head end collision on the White
Bear and North ST. Paul electric line
last night at 10 o'clock resulted in the
death of Charles Yantez, a motorman,
and a general shaking up of the pas
sengers on both of the cars which col
nded.
The accident occurred on a siding
about mile and half east of the
harvester works, and was the result
of switch being left open. Cars from
Wildwood have the right of way, and
all east-bound cars have to wait on
the Sidings. The sidetrack where the
accident occurred is at the foot Of
rather steep grade. and the car from
Wildwood was running at a good rate
of speed. The car which Motoman
Yantez had charge Of pulled into the
siding and waited for the one from
Wildwood to pass. It is a custom or
rule that when cars going east leave
the Sidings the switches shall be
turned back so as to avoid accidents.
Yantez supposed that the switch had
been properly fixed, and running his
car as near as possible to the main
track, waited for the car coming west
to pass The motorman of the west
bound car also supposed the switch
was in proper position, and did not
discover the contrary until the car
turned into the siding and an instant
afterdard crashed into the other one.
There was sound of crashing glass
and chorus of shrieks from the pas
sengers as the cars came together. The
lights in the west-bound car went out,
and for moment there was almost a
panic. The car from Wildwood was
not seriously damaged aside from the
breaking of the headlight and the
smashing of the glass in the front
windows Passengers on the car from
Wildwood soon recovered from the ex-
element, and, with the conductor and
motorman, attempted to rescue Yam
tez, who was crushed badly by the
collision. The injured man was lifted
from the wreck, but died almost in
stantly. The body was placed on the
car and taken to North st. Paul. and
the coroner notified
There were but two passengers on
the car going east, both ladies, and,
fortunately. neither of them was in

passengers, was so frightened py thu.
shock that she tainted and fell to the
floor of the car. but was injured only
by the fall, and not severely.
Yantez was a single man, thirty
three years old, and lived at North
st. Paul. The accident delayed travel
ON the road for about two hours.

is the inability with the limited
amount OF cash on hand above the
$luo'ooo'ooo reserve, to keep up suffi-
cient gold supply. When the demand
comes for the expectation of gold the
treasury Is called upon to supply it..
If this demand should prove as large
the coming year as it has been for the
past two yearsr, gold in the treasury
would be diminished below the reserve
line. 1t is hardly probable that
more than $1,000, 600 can be credited to
the sinking fund during the. present
fiscal year. as AGAINST a legal require
ment of $4,000, 0Oe.'
So much for the secretary. Mr.. Ne
beker was the treasurer under him. In
his report for June 80, 1891, he says:
'Such heavy exports of gold as signal
lied the last six months of the year,
the heaviest recorded in the history of
the nation, naturally excited profound
interest. To the treasury the
outflow was particularly significant.
since the treasury had to furnish all
the material. +* These movements
were the result apparently, of natural
laws. Again the treasurer. In 1891
he says: 1T must not be- overlooked
that the figures for the former qSsD
OF the two years are swelled by the
transfer Of the bank note redemption
fund, which amounted, at the time
of it's deposit in the treasury In July,
1890, to $54,3S8, 475.75 If this be con-
sidered, what in fact it was, receipt
of prior years, the figures will show
an excess of upward of $S8,OOo,0oO of
expenditures over the revenue in 1891,
and one of upward of $27,000,000 in
1892"
One can understand that such pain
full admissions as these are too disa-
greeable to be borne in mind by the
editor of paper doing it's best to pro-
cure from the voters a restoration of
the policies that produced these re-
suits. and that they are far better
forgotten" but our Zumbrota CORE
spondent is now at liberty to draw
the conclusion that our contemporary
is far more anxious to make a point
against the Democrats than it is to
give him accurate and trustworthy in

NO TUITION HEREAFTER.
Children Cam Attend the Catholic
Schools without Cost.

At the morning service of the Cath
Ollie churches of the Twin Cities yester-
day, was read letter from Archbishop
Ireland, materially affecting the church
schools of the two cities. The purport
of the communication was the abolish
ing Of the monthly amount which has
hitherto been assessed upon all scholars
attending those schools. It has been
found that some parents were unable
to pay the required tuition, and all
though the amount has been RENTED
in all such cases, the result has not
been satisfactory. From this time for
ward the Catholic schools of st. Paul
and Minneapolis will be as free to
pupils attending them as the public
schools. In his letter the archbishop
says:
1--WE are confident that this regula
ton will be pleasing to pupils and to
parents, and will result in notable
increase in the attendance upon our
schools. Parents will see in this regu-
lation a new evidence of the zeal of
their pastors for Catholic education.
and Of their willingness to do all that
is possible to meet the wishes of the
people
The letter concludes with a statement
of the advantages of religious training
in connection with the education of the
children Of the land and calls upon all
Catholic parents to hold up the hands
Of the priests in making a success Of
the new order.
The change In the manner of raising
money for the support of Catholic
schools in the Twin Cities comes as
the result of several meetings of the
pastors Of the various churches in
those cities. The plan originates with
the pastors who are willing to under
take the added burden imposed upon
them of raising funds for the support
Of the church schools. At a meeting
held in st. Paul about six weeks ago,
the scheme was outlined, and a board
of education was decided upon for the
two cities, to consist of four members
from each city

elsewhere in an aggrieved spirit, seems
to us to be unduly disturbed over COM
ment which was, we think, entirely
courteous and fitted to the tenor of his
original communication. We will, how
ever, so direct to the question which he
now raises. He once more talks about
the Silver bullion that is in the
nrints." VNust tell him once more
that there is no silver bullion in the
mints. The minis do not purchase
and hold bullion. They simply coin
1t when it is sent to them for that ,pur-
pose. The only silver bullion owned
by the United States government Is
in the custody of the United States
treasury. and is. as we have said. a
partial security for the treasury notes
tSiat were issued in payment for
it. Mr.. Faussett says: why not coin
it?" We reply: why coin lit" What
