1t Was True.

Mrs. g. E. Keller, of Minneapolis,
heard burglars in the house. After
the manner of husbands, Mr.. Kellar
SAID it was nonsense, but this was the
exceptional burglar scare that proves
the rule. There were burglars in the
house, and if Mrs. Keller had not
aroused her husband to tell him about
it the burglars would not have left the
house in the mad haste of their actual
departure, and doubtless they would
have carried away more than the sill
yer from the dining room. AS it was
they took silverware to the value of
of about SIS or $40. Had the visitors
succeeded in doing work on the second
floor their haul would have been much
larger. Later, part of the stolen arti-
cles were found outside the house.

Copper.

1t now begins to look as If the cop
per deposit which has been explored
for SO long at the head of the lakes,
had been discovered. Ex-Sheriff w.
W. Butchart and William Osborn, of
Duluth, are the locators of the prop
erty. which will be developed at once.
1t is near the city limits of Duluth and
only about a half mile from the site of
the new municipal water plant at
Lakewood, just east of Lester river.
Some Chicago parties are interested
with Butchart and Osborn, and will
furnish the money for developing the
property.
-Four experts have examined the
property and have pronounced it ''all
right and are of the opinion that the
vein is a continuation of the Calumet
and Hecla vein. The copper runs in
rock and there is also a assure of ma
tive copper, The assure runs beside
the vein or veins in the rock.

Plenty of Seed.

OF the 27,5oo pounds of sugar beet
seed which the state imported from
Germany for the encouragement of the
industry. only 1900 has as yet been
distributed to farmers of the state, and
it seems probab BILE now that the remain
der will have to be kept in storage for
one or more years until demand arises
for it commensurate with the states
supply.

credl. For Farmer.

We have lately given some account OF
the operation Of agricultural banks IL
Europe, which have done very much for
the farming class by making it possible
for it to secure loans ON such security us
farmers can offer The farmer is espe-
cially in need of credit, for the interval
must always be considerable between
the preparation of the soil and the har-
vesting of the crop. He must spend
money n long time before he can get
any back. AS to most of his products, he
may be said to be carrying on busl-
ness where the stock is turned over but
once year. Furthermore, as crop
natures all over the country at the same
season, and generally within period OF
few weeks, it is particularly impor-
tant to the farmer that he should not be
compelled to realize on his harvests i'm
mediately. He would break the market
if he were obliged to sell all his crops
as soon us gathered and yet he must
sell good deal, for he has been under
expense for months without any income.
While the farmer more than almost
any other producer needs credit he CAN
not generally offer commercial security,
and real estate is not a good security for
ordinary banks of discount to take, alid
it is unlawful for our national banks TO
accent il. The result is that the farmer
is usually compelled TO sell his produce
at an unpropitious time or to get credit
of merchants and private bankers Tor
which usurious rates are obtained. In
this country there has been practically
no effort to supply this need tor agricul-
tural credits, although the brokers ana
private bankers and factors who have
made practice of lending to farmers
have made a great deal of money out of
it. for the absence of competition en-
ablcs them to get high rate for money,
and the farmer pretty generally pays his
debts.
1t is singular that i'll our own country
no effort has been made to afford agrl-
culture in general the capital it needs
for the improving of land and for carry
| ing on farm operations during the long
| intervals between the annual marketing
of crops. The changed conditions OF the
times make it imperative that farming
must be conducted upon more scientific
principles SO us TO get out OF the land
more than it has heretofore produced,
and that necessity leaves no alterna i've
but either to afford the farmer enlarged
credit facilities or to leave the present
landholders to be frozen out by insolv-
ency, with the result of transferring this
industry to a class possessing ampler
means and able to cultivate larger farms
upon improved methods. OF

why Interest Is nigh In re1a..

The Galveston Daily News reminds
its Texas readers Of the difference in in
terest rates in the northeastern states
and in some Of the western and southern
states and gives them few elementary
lessons ON the reasons for this difference.
Interest is never SO low" it says, sin
communities given over to suspicious
fires, questionable assignments, fraudu-
lent failures or to legislation with de-
cided turn against the creditor and in
favor of the debtor" Much of the mar
ket rate of interest is insurance against
risk, and of course diminishes us the
risk decreases. Where men are required
by law to pay their debts and are not
sheltered and encouraged in tricky
courses by unreasonable exemption laws
and by public prejudice against cred
itors as a class the risk is naturally less
serious. :"
Making its application to Texas,
The News says: I'VE have q right to
to leave fraudulent debtor residence
worth $50, 900, all the bank stock or
bonds he can carry and an extraordinary
collection of the tools Of his trade or
profession and to defy his creditors to
crook a finger at him. We can do this If
we prefer. but it is going to cost us
something" 1t asks why the "goodly
majority of the people Of Texas" who
care not disposed to live high today and
hide behind the exemption law, the as
sisnment law on some other law tomor-
row, /" should be forced by the discredit
Of bad laws and few dishonest men
ito pay two prices for every dollar they
borrow. " 1t believes the rate Of interest
would come down one-half and the
loanable funds would double if the hon
est men of the state would demand the
enactment of laws under which cred
itor could collect what is due him.

The Baniers' Magazine fcr March
hnds the origin Of our present troubles
about silver In the demand that the
ratio Of its value 10 gold shall be deter
mined by the government II Ii how
ever, no proper part Of the duty Of the
government to try to fx the ratio Of
values Of the two metals
Being" says The Bankers' Maya
zine, Commodities as well rs money.
and being commodities before and after
they are money, and being money SIM
ply and only because they are cummodi-
ties, and being commodities because
they have recognized and intrinsic vnlue
independent of any action Of govern.
ment, and even In the absence Of govern
ment, and being therefore severally SUBJ
ject to all the laws of commodities, the
law of variable supply and demand and
value among others, and these varia-
lions not being uniform for both metals,
it is impossible that government can
ever FIX the ratio Of their value.
IF, however, it should be. insisted
that it is the function and duty Of gov
eminent to (try to- fix the ratio Of their
values, it would seem to follow MS a
logical consequence that, since their
relative value depends absolutely on the
relative supply Of the two metals it is
the primary and plain duty Of govern
ment to fix tregulate) their supply by
controlling and operating the gold and
silver mines, the sources Of their pro-
duction. 1t should do both things or
neither, and it is preferable that it
should do neither. It is folly to expect it
to do the former without doing the lat
ter"
This is the truth of the matter in
nutshell. Unless the government first
acquires all the mines in the world and
decides how much silver and how much
gold are to be produced yearly, it is i'm
possible to maintain a ratio after it is
fixed" France fixed" it 1853 times,
but it would not stay fixed. and France
has at length abandoned the effort. The
United States has also tried the expert
ment several times without success. It
is time the theorists were letting the
matter alone.

Exactly at noon President Mckinley
walked down the main aisle of the
auditorium. On his arm was Mrs. Van
Leerkirkman, president of the woman's
A6ard. The president was greeted
with hearty cheers by the large assem-
blage as were also Secretaries Sher
nan, Alger, Gary, Wilson and others
of the distinguished guests. Mrs. Nc
Kinley, much to the regret of every
enc, did not feel equal to the heat and
street and remained in her room at
the hotel A variation upon Our Old
Kentucky Home was a fitting prelude
to the speeches which were opened by
John w. Thomas, president Of
the exposition. In a brief speech he
extended the heartiest welcome to the
president Mr. Thomas then intro
duced Governor Taylor of Tennessee.
At the conclusion of Gov. Tayior's
speech, Governor Bushnell of Ohio
spoke. When the governor was in
the middle of his speech, vociferous
cheers heralded the approach of
distinguished parsonage, and the roar
became deafeniEg as Mrs. Mckinley
was recognized. She came slowly
