In the first public sale of bonds,
that of $50, 900, 900 in February, 1894,
the offers reached $50, 100000 and in
the second public sale, which was for
the same amount in November Of
that year, the offers reached $3.50, ,0OO,-
600. Probably the bids for the $780,
100000 bonds which are to be sold
next month will amount to $3.50, ,0O0,-
900 or $175, 1000, 900. When that fact
comes out in the publication Of the
amount of the bids the country will
realize that the Government is in no
danger of going into bankruptcy de-
spite the revenue shortages and the
raids on the gold reserve.

We make our bow to the Vermont
Graphic for the following handsome
compliment:
One of the best-printed papers
and one which contains much
good reading matter is the ORLEANS
COUNTY MONITOR" published at Bar

entered upon the last year of quar-
century of life. It has good cir
culation and is easily worth the price
charged, S1.50 a year. Neighborhood
news is made speciality and editori-
al notes, fresh and crisp appear j.,
each issue. The columns are well filed
with "ads'' from local dealers who
evidently appreciate the advantages
it offers them to increase their hnsi-
ness. We extend to Brother R1ako
our hearty congratulations and good
wishes as the "MoNIToRn begins liza

The gold discoveries of Forty Mile
creek in Alaska, according to survey,
belong to the United States and not to
Great Britain.
The one hundred and forty first me-
ridian of longitude has been accurate
ly determined by an employe of the
British government and properly
marked at certain places. General
Duffield, the chief of the coast survey,
says it shows that but 16 miles Of the
creek as the bird flies and but % miles
as the water flows are in British ter
ritory, and that in this portion no
gold has been discovered.
All the remaining portion of the
creek and that in which gold has been
discovered are in Alaska and belong,
therefore, to the United States.

1t seems that Lord Dunraven at one
time very desirous of smothering all
his charges of "dirty work'' in the
matter of the September yacht races,
and probably thought he had done so.
1t would have been better for his re-
putation, at home and abroad, if,
when he found he found they had
come out in spite of his wish, he had
manhood enough to frankly say that
he wished to retract them. AS it is,
he is total wreck in the whole yacht
ing world.

After
More
Business
This Year.

January must give a good start.
Sales will be increased way
ahead of any January business
before. 1t is being done by CIV
ing the greatest values this
county ever knew in dry goods.
The value of two dollars in
dress goods is given for one
dollar in many instances, but the
value of one dollar and fifty
cents for dollar is the rule.
It's the same with silks. Is it
worth saving? A good many
ladies have thought it was.-we
never had such a sale of dress
goods and silks at this season of
the year.

PRUDENT POPULLSTS.

The three leading parties will hold
their national conventions in the or
der of their numerical strength, the
populists coming last. The selection
OF st. Louis as their convention city,
shows that like the republicans they
intend to- make an inroad into the
ranks of the no longer solio south and
the date, a fortnight later than that
of the democratic convention, was
probably fixed in view of the contin-
gencies that might arise through the
action of the latter.
The intense hostility to New York
as a place for the next democratic
convention revealed the strength of
the pro- silver feeling among large
section of the democracy. Should
Cleveland or any other eastern can
didate of pronounced gold standard
views be nominated, the free silver
ties could not be expected to give him
any more than the most lukewarm
support; and an open revolt would
not be at all surprising. A populist
candidate, who was not through his
past record Objectionable to the south
would receive the votes of thousands
of democrats who would find the pop
ulist party alone in it's open advocacy
of free silver. A southern populist
nominated on an out and out silver
platform would stand better chance
of carrying the two Carolinas, Miss
issippi, Louisiana and Texas than an
eastern democrat who was open to
the charge of being gold bug.

The proper beast for a grizzly bear
hunter to ride is good mule. DIR. W.
f. Edgar, United States army, tells in
Recreation why a mule is best. The
doctor was wandering near a camp up
N Washington state on n mule. He
had his rifle with him, and, seeing a
big bear in the trail, fired. The bear
tumbled over and out of sight. 1t looked
like a clean kill, and the doctor start
ed toward the place, and was nearly
in sight of the hollow where the bear
had disappeared, when the bear climbed
up over the edge and went for him
It was then that the mule was of the
utmost service. The mule rose on it's
hind feet, turned sharply around, and
headed for camp. A horse or a mustang
wouldn't have been quick enough, the
bear was so close, but all the hunter
had to do was to hang on. The mule
knew what to do without being told.
