HOW WILL THEY DODGE THAT:

Pooling the people is risky method
in politics. Lincoln learned, whether
from observation or a personal expert
ence is not known, that you can fool
some people all the time and all the
people sometimes, but you cannot fool
all the people all the time. In spite or
this sage counsel. the emergencies in
which the Republican party has so ire
auently found itself, since it accom-
plished its one mission Of wiping slav-.
ery out and assumed the more practical
task of administering the ordinary af-
fairs of the nation, have forced that
party into retaining its hold on power
by fooling some people all the time,
which includes those who believe the
foreigner pays the tax by feoling all
the people sometimes, as when 1t made
majority believe that ehe panic of
1898 was due to the expulsion of that
party, and now by trying to make them
believe that dollar wheat and indus

STILL WANDERING.


Minneapolis Tribune of it's assertion
regarding the effect of free coinage on
the price of silver in India is no hap
pier than it's original blunder. TO any
one who knows anything about condi-
tions in India, the vastness of the
country, the intense ignorance and
conservatism of the people and their
adherence to immemorial custom in
the matter of boarding the precious
metals, nothing could be more absurd
than the assumption Of the Tribune
that the peasant of India was in the
habit of taking his uncoined silver to
the mint and having it coined into ru-
PEGS at pleasure. Of course, nothing
of the sort ever happened. Even in the
United States, with its sympathy with
and understanding of progressive
ideas, the minis under free coinage
received silver only in stated quanti-
ties; and if a man had a small amount
to dispose of, he sold it to a bullion
dealer Mine owners and producers Of
silver deal directly with the minis. The
individual with a little stock deals
with the broker and gets the market
price, whatever that may be. The stu
alton which the Tribune imagines real
ly existed; only it was continued
through a great many years instead
of coming to a sudden catastrophe,
and it followed the gradual decline in
the market price of silver instead of
coming into existence in a moment
when the Indian minis were closed to
silver.
At any time during the last TWEEN
ty years. when the Indian owner Of
bullion, by which we. mean the pos
SCISSOR of a small hoard and not a
great bullion broker, wished to trans
form the metal into money, he sold
it, as metal passes in that country, by
weight and not by measure. He re-
ceived fer it the price of silver meas
ured by the ounce, and not by the ru-
pee. The mere conception of an In
dian tiller of the soil somewhere in the
Punjab who never heard Of anything
beyond his own little village, digging
up a stock OF coin or taking the arm
lets and anklets of the female men,
bers of his family in time of need and
sending them to the government mint
at the capital to be coined into rupees,
is one that could not have suggested
itself to any other mind than that of
the Tribune writer. The people of In
Ola have felt in its full severity the de-
cline of silver bullion. They have felt
it more than any other people on earth,
probably, because silver has been the
of mind, and all the accumulated
wealth of centuries was boarded in
the form of stores of the precious
metal To have the eXchangeable value
of this cut in the middle was a des-
perate blow. 1t was a loss, however,
accruing gradually and not suddenly
the decline of the market and not the
closing of the mint. Perhaps this may
finally become clear to the not very
brilliant intelligence of the Tribune.
It's error and folly consist in attrfbut-
ing to an act of the British cabinet in
f1uences that had been at work for
years before and effects most of which
had been already realized.

HOSPITAL LIGHTING PLANT
Will Save Enough In Two Years to
Pay for Itself.

fay IOF ItsCiis
The city and county hospital was
hopored with a visit yesterday after
noon by the members of the board or
control Messrs. Kerwin, Judson and
Menk and Secretary Tong Mayor Dor
an. City Comptroller McCardy and
County Commissioners Quehl and Nor
itz. These gentlemen went out to the
hospital to inspect the newly installed
electric lighting plant, with which the
institution has been equipped Incl
dentally, City Physician Ancker con-
Quoted the visitors through the hos
rital.
The new plant which has cost S., 900,
was greatly admired. 1t is operated
by an engine of fifty horse power, and
runs with so little vibration that sill
yer dollar can be balanced on the end
of the cylinder. The dynamo is station
ed close to the driving wheel and is
operated without and belt attached.
1t furnishes light for over 600 mean
descent lamps.
Inasmuch as gas is still used at the
hospital for heating the irons in the
laundry and for furnishing the small
amount of light necessary in the day
time, Comptroller McCardy suggested
that the lighting plant would not prove
an economical plan until it was used
to furnish all the light and heat. Mr..
McCardy was informed that it was the
intention of the board of control to put
in a small dynamo costing $500 or $3.50
and operate it by the fifteen horse
power engine used to run the laundry
machinery. This dynamo would not
only furnish all the lights needed in
the day time, but also supply the heat
for the irons in the laundry room. Mr..
McCardy thought that the new plant
ought to be used day and night and
thereby furnish all the light and heat
needed
When the hospital used nothing but
gas for Illuminating purposes, the gas
bill amounted to 5000 a month. DR..
Ancker estimated that the amount of
money saved by the electric light plant
would pay for the plant inside of two
years.

A STABLE UNIT OF VALUE.
Doubts Are Here Expressed as to It's
$PracticaI Existence.

To the Editoroof the Globe.
cannot accept your word ratio as def
milton of values. 1t is too vague.
As between the parties TO a deal (and no
body else has any concern in it, the old say
ing that "a thing ishworth what it will fetch"
is sound. To the purchaser it is worth the
price, or he would not pay it; to the seller it
is the same, or he would not SELL So the
value depends upon the needs caprice Of
the parties. No need of any multiple or
other standard here: no room for any. The
need of a multiple standard arises only in
case OF CONTRACTS to be performed at future
time and here recurs the question, would it
work in practice? You admit that it would
require the finding Of the average price of
hundred commodities. and this would proba-
bly, be daily necessity. But to be 'theoret-
icauy IDEAL it must include not only a hun
dred but thousand of commercial COM
modities However. admitting that hun
dred would be enough for practical purposes.
wouldn't the process even then be found too
clumsy for everyday use? Your explanation
of the failure in Massachusetts, may be suf-
ficient as to the United States: but commerce
has been going on in other civilizations for
centuries; and to my mind it is incredible
that a "stable unit OF value" should not have
been found if such q thing were possible.

TO THE SUPREME COURT.
Appeal Threatened in the AIleman-
mia Bank Case.

Attorneys Hubbard & Taylor, rep
resenting about a dozen of the object
ing creditors of the Allemannia bank,
have prepared an application to the
district court asking for modifica-
ton of the interlocutary order made
by Judge Willis, allowing the bank to
reopen under certain conditions.
This order shut out the objecting
creditors inasmuch as it docs not give
them the right to object" and on this
point, to which large number of ex-
ceptions are set forth, the matter may
be appealed to the supreme court.
Attorney Hubbard stated to
G. o b e reporter yesterday afternoon
that it was not intended in this pro-
ceeding to place any stumbling blocks
in the way of the banks reopening,
but that, in the interests of their
clients, this action was deemed advis-
able unless some satisfactory settle
ment is made within day or two.
