The IshpcmIpg Tournament.

The recent wrestling tournament at
Ishpeming and the treatment the copper
country boy, Tom Stevens, received has
been almost the sole topic OF converse
ton among local enthusiasts of Cornish
wrestling since Stevens returned from
Ishpeming. Nearly all authorities on
Cornish wrestling hereabouts agree that
Stevens was justified in refusing to go
against Rowett the second time and
that all that was necessary for him to d }
to entitle him to first money was to
throw the other two men.
Yesterdays Mining Journal explains
the position of the committee and its ac-
tion by saying that before Stevens went
into the ring with Rowett he asked the
committee il it would not give him an
other chance TO meet Rowett in case he
was put down and that the committee
agreed to this. The committee held after
Stevens had thrown Rowett, that the lat
ter should be entitled to the same priv
ilege and this is why they ruled that
Stevens was not entitled to first money
until he threw Rowett a second time.
Stevens claims that he asked no such
favor OF the committee and even il he did
it would not have been right and in ac-
cordance with Cornish wrestling rules Tor
the committee tohaye accorded him that
privilege, which would have given him
an unfair advantage over Rowett.
The same paper states that Joe Pope,
of Ishpeming, has 500 to put up on
Rowett, Gilbert or Lawrence against
Stevens. A match may be arranged, but
it lie not probable, as Stevens is pretty
we'll Disguised with the treatment he re-
ceived. He intends retu ming to Corn
wall in few months and may not put
on the Jacket again in this country.

An Act of Vandalism

A piece Of vandalism has been perpe-
trated on the picnic grounds at Section
l6 and property to the value OF few
hundred dollars has been destroyed and
no clue can be obtained as tn who is re.
sponsible for the work. The dancing
platform, kitchen and several smaller
stands belonging to the German Aid so.
ciety were burned TO the ground few
evenings ago. The fires were evidently
set, as the different stands are far enough
apart to prevent their catching one from
another and there was no trace of fire in
the woods between the different stands
The dancing stand and the kitchen are
probably $50 feet apart and several long
tables are arre nged between them. These
were not burned in the least.
The German Aid society has the right
TO use the grounds, which belong to the
Calumet'and Hecla company, and they
went to considerable expense to keep the
property in shape. The society will
hold meeting this evening to decide
what action shall be taken in the matter
IL is planned to rebuild the DESTROYED
property and make several other i'm
proponents about the picnic grounds
which will add to their desirability fol
such purposes.

Becknen, who is a coppersmith, has been
drinking hard OF late and in the past lew
days his actions have been such as TO
arouse suspicion as to his mental condi-
ton. He was brought before Justice
Fisher, who sentenced him TO the county
Jail, where he will be examined as TO his
sanity. Becknen had created several dis
turbances about town and had been in
toxicated for several days.
The night police say that every night
they find at least half a dozen tramps SLEEP
inc in alleys and barns and that they are
getting TO be yeritable nuisance on the
hands Of the authorities. The other
night two tramps were found sleeping
in Bloy's barn and the officer was noti-
fed. He put the weary Willies in jail, but
let them go in the morning with the
understanding that they would leave
town Immediately. The tramps were
rather anxious TO be brought before a
Justice. az they would have wanted moth
ing better than to be sent to the county
Jail for a term.

A DANGEROUS MRaformn

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her.
aid: 1 saw an article in Sundays issue
headed Financial Sharps Will Present
a Scheme of Monetary Reform" that
threatens the very spirit of the consti-
tuition of our country. 1t Is the attempt
of the money powers and Wall street
to induce the government to adopt the
plan of the late Indianapolis convention
of bankers By this plan the issuing of
money is to be taken almost entirely out
of the hands of the government and given
to the banks. 1t includes the retirement
of the greenbacks, treasury notes, silver
certificates and even silver itself, issu-
ing instead more bonds drawing inter-
est at per cent on which the banks can
issue bank notes to the full amount of
the bonds deposited with the govern
ment except for a tax of one-quarter of
one per cent The government is not to
be responsible in any way for the same
and all the money of our country is to
be placed on single gold basis as pre-
yiously advocated by Grover Cleveland,
and the present secretary of the treas
ury, Lyman j. Gage.
This is all favored publicly as neces-
sary reform" to make good times, as
was also the decentralization of silver,
the repeal of the Sherman law, etc., but
a more damnable conspiracy was never
attempted, and II carried out 1t willy
place our nations finances entirely In the
control Of the syndicates and consti-
tute the most gigantic trust In existence
The herald., 1897-04-01
Such a plan involves simply the loot

Such a plan involves simply the loot
ing of the government, for the bankers
would be getting $4,000 interest on each
$1,000 worth of bonds Issued and yet
by depositing these bonds in the treas
ury they would receive back the $100, 900
in bank notes except for tax Of one
quarter of one per cent, and the interest
would therefore be paid on practically
nothing. Good for the bankers but bad
for the people, and their eyes should be
opened before it is too late
AS it is now, by little skillful manip.
ulation of government bonds the banks
are receiving $4,000 interest on every ST..
900 they invest in reality. or over 25 pei
cent, and this is the true reason why they
are so anxious for more bonds" Why
should the government pay interest al
all? Why not issue the money itselfi
Is not the treasury note as good as the
bank note?
The monetary system surely needs re.
vision. but not in this way. 1t should
be revised so as to do away with tho
gold reserve, and all money of every
kind issued solely by the government
each dollar to be as good as the othe,
and all receivable in payment Of taxes
revenues and custom duties and the gov.
ernment alone to have the option oi
what kind of money 1t shall pay, not
the creditor. This, then, would settle
tiit oiiNCi qucotiOh anu OuI IuONcldIy
troubles forever, as was intended by the
trainers of our constitution
Should such plan be adopted as IA.
vored by Secretary Gage and the gov
ernment not be responsible for paper
money issued by the banks. we would
see paper money at a discount every
where, and in case of a bank failinA
the holder of it's notes would lose theii
value as 1t was before the war under
similar conditions. A man then did NOT
know whether his money would be worth
a cent the next morning and had to
keep posted all the time as to the stand.
ing of all the different banks.
To carry out such a course involvep
reducing the amount of money in circu.
lation still more and making times far
harder than they even are now. God
help the poor man then, for He alone
could do so! Those who had homes
with mortgages on would lose them and
only the richest of the rich would profit
thereby and property would become al
most valueless and hardly worth pay
ing taxes on and business of all kinds
except that of the money loaning would
be stagnated. The capitalist would
reap a rich harvest, but 1t would only
be for a short time, for 1t woult most
surely end in revolutions war between
the rich and the poor-and times such
as we all hope we shall never witness
