THERE is PLENTY OF MONEY.


Chicago Cronicle.
If the people who are thinking of voting
for the free coinage of silver, in hopes of
improving their condition and bringing
better times" will take careful survey
of the last five years they will easily see
that it will mot accomplish the desired
effect. The fact is that to this very silver
question, and to no other cuase, must be
charged all our trouble and hard times.
Our trouble began with the passing of the
Sherman bill, which brought us to the
very brink of ruin, and precipitated upon
us that panic of 1893, when. its failures
and general closing of banks and factor
les. Since that law was repealed the rage
of the silver barons has known no bounds,
and they have been working, both openly
and in secret, that they might bring about
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
For this reason there is lack of con-
fidence on the part of those who have
capital to invest, as no vote of the people
has ever been had by which their views
can be made known. This distrust has
locked up millions of money and made idle
thousands of our working people.
A vote for free coinage will cause this
state of affairs TO be continued, and should
il win then your condition will be doubly
worse, as the deprecated dollar will only
purchase one-half that of the full-value
| dollar. The free coinage advocate will tell
you that "we had good times when we
had cheap money, from 1861 to 1867, but
he won't tell You why. He will not tell
you that the United States government
was at that time buying the hay, corn
oats, pork, beef, flour, horses and mules
of the farmer, the products of our mills
and fOctoriGs, in wagons, clothing, etc.
that that same government wanted every
man that it could get for a soldier, sailor
teamster, blacksmith, carpenter,physiciar
and, in fact, almost every trade or profes
sion, and paid out money to them. Why
should there not be plenty of money ant
every one employed when such a consumer
was, in the market, and that consumer no
q. producer?
A vote for free coinage will not hell
you, but vote to bury this cheap none!
SO deep that it will never be heard o
again will at once restore confidence, un
lock capital and set thousands of idl
hands at work. There is plenty of none.
and we can get it into use if we will re
store tile confidence of the men that con
troll it. Democrat.

Against Wright for the DeIicncy.
In Justice Viens count yesterday, with a
splendid array of legal talent on either side,
the celebrated case of C. B. Randett against
George S. Wright and Thomas Metcalf to
recover the value of a gallon of ice cream,
was tried to jury.
The testimony showed that Randlett had
received telephone message from somebody
from somewhere ordering a gallon of ice
cream to be sent to a certain address; that
the cream was sent there, and that 1t dis
appeared from the front door step with
! out theoGlsnowledge of the people in the
house. Expert evidence was introduced to
show that Tom Metcalf and George Wright
were capable Of eating full gallon of cream
II somebody paid for it. This constituted
Tom Metcalf on the stand and called atten-
absurd impossibility of their client ever
being or having been able to eat such

showed a variation of less than an inch
This was triumphant vlndication for the

entire gallon of cream and returned a ver-

Work will be commenced today in improv-
ing the dams at Lake Manawa, so that when
the season opens there will be more water in
the lake than ever before since the place was
opened as pleasure resort.
Mosquito creek now has coed supply of
perfectly clear water and the first work
will be to dam the creek and turn the water
into the lake, giving nearly two months
supply before the rainy season commences
and destroys the quality of the water de-
sired in the lake. The big dam which shuts
the lake from the river will also be raised
several feet 80 that the supply once stored
in the lake will be kept there. 1t is planned
to add at least three feet to the present water
supply.
The first steps toward this work were
taken by the Council Bluffs Rowing associa-
tion as it's annual meeting, when a sum of
money was donated to be used at once in
turning Mosquito creek into the lake. The
club also appointed a committee to confer
