These interests can never thrive
apart. 1t. is not possible for one to
shape legislation without the other.
1t Is not possible to build ZIP an ex-
tensive manufacture, under American
conditions, without its basis in a large
supply of American wool, and it is rot
possible to develop wool-growing, or
ever to save it from destruction, with
out an extensive American manufac-
ture. If practical men who have
learned these things by severe expe-
rience cannot see their way to united
and harmonious action, the committee
will have to explore way for itself.
The allied industries of woolmanufac-
turing and wool-growing will have to
be protected for the welfare Of the
country, whether those who happen to
represent them are able to devise way
or not.

THE RECORD BROKEN.
c.. q. g. Q. ACCOMPLISHES A
GREAT FEAT.
Special Train of the Burlington Route
Runs from Chicago tO Denver, I,O25
Miles. at an Average Speed of Nearly
5S Miles an Hour.

The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad has just accomplished the
greatest feat the world has ever known
for long distance fast running.
1t was made in a race against death
to carry Henry j. Mayham of New
York to the bedside of his dying son in
Denver.
The distance from Chicago to Den
yer, 1.025 miles. was covered in eX-
actly 1,069 minutes actual running
time. This is only a small fraction
less than one mile a minute for the
longest continuous run ever made by
any railroad in the world
1t was run made in the ordinary
course of business. No special prepa-
ration whatever had been contem-
plated for the trip. In exactly forty
four minutes from the time the order
for the train was received the throttle
of the engine was pulled open and the
train glided out of the Union Depot on
a race which surprised railroad men
the world over.
The engine which took the train on
the first run out of Chicago to Gales
burg had just come in from Aurora
pulling regular passenger train. No
time was spent in cleaning up, but it
was quickly turned around, attached to
the special train and manned by the
same engineer who had brought it to
Chicago. Not more than half dozen
officials or employees of the road knew
the trip was to be made. This fact is
the most important in the history of
the great feat, as it demonstrates the
superb physical condition of the road
and the perfect management which en-
ables such remarkable time to be
maintained for more than thousand
miles.
The time made by the record-break-
ing train is as follows, including all
stops:

M Money for the Printer

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 19.-Secretary
of State Bush yesterday served notice
on State Printer j. X. Hudson to i'm
mediately stop all state printing and
all printing covered by the deficiency
appropriation bill for 1897, which
passed the senate and house last week.
Secretary Bush gave as his reason that
there was no money to pay for print
ing; that the governor had not yet
signed the appropriation bill referred
to, and that the law prohibited him
from obligating the state to pay any
claim when there was no appropria-
tion to pay such claim. Before serv-
ing the notice, Mr.. Bush obtained an
opinion from the attorney general to
the effect that his position was correct

Warrants Arc Out for Five Chicago
Councilmsn-Preache After Them.
CHICAGO, Feb. l9.--Warrants were
yesterday afternoon sworn out for the
arrest of five aldermen and two other
men on a charge OF violating the mu.
nicipal law regarding the observance
OF Sunday and the closing of saloons
upon that day. Those for whom the
warrants were issued we're: Alderman

The complaints were filed by the
Rev. w. w. Clark, who. after filing his
complaints against each of the parsons
named, swore out warrants for the ar
rest. The minister then attempted 10
procure, a warrant for the arrest Of
Mayor George B. Swift, on IL charge OF
malfeasance in Office. He argued that
Mayor Swift, when he was elected to
office, promised to observe and enforce
city laws and had not done so. The
warrant was refused by Justice IIoag
land, who granted the warrants for
the aldermen.

FKsw Little Things Do Harm.

Oftentimes it is little faults. little
carelessness in conduct, little blemishes
in character, the mo harms" that make
fairly good people almost useless, so
far as their influence goes There was
a great light house out at sea. One
night the men lighted the lamps. as
usual Some time afterWard they Saw
that there appeared no light upon the
water where ordinarily there was d
bright lane of beams. They examined
their lamps-they were burning bright
". But they looked outside and there
were millions OF little insects on the
glass, so thickly piled there that the
light could not get through. In the
morning they learned that a ship had
been wrecked close by because the
light had been obscured by the in
sects. Here is the lesson. says DR..
Miller: The lamp may be burning
brightly in your soul or in mine; but
little faults-pride. ugly temper, sell
fishness, half-heartedness, bad habits
OF tongue, carelessness about paying
debts or keeping promises. hundred
other things-may so cloud our lives
as to obscure the image of God in our
souls. Perhaps some soul has been
lost because your lamp does not shine
out with clear light. We counsel
YOU young people to be good beautiful
in character. faithful N all duties
careful not in the smallest way to dim
the luster Of Gods grace within.

Gold Galore.
or not.

From the Philadelphia Times: The
production Of gold in the United States
in 1896 was of the value Of S51, 100000,
an increase Of more than ten per cent
over that of the previous year, md the
total production of the world is esti-
mated at $215.0G0,000. an increase Of
nearly six per cent. AS the population
of the world increases at the average
late OF only about one per cent annu-
ally, and in this country not above two
and half per cent, it is easy to see
how little ground there is for the as
This can be shown even more clearly
by considering the ratio cf increase in
the worlds accumulated stock of gold.
Last years output is equivalent tc an
addition Of about five Per cent to this
stock, and this increase has been con-
tinuous, the annual production being
now nearly double that of ten years
ago. In other words, the stock OF gold
available for use as money is :ncreas-
ing far beyond the growth of popula-
ton, SO that even apart from the con-
stant development of instruments of
credit and the diminishing necessity
for the actual transfer Of coin in busi-
ness operations. the argument based
upon quantity alone falls to the ground.
AS matter of fact, those countries
in which there is no question as to
the standard of value require compar-
atively little gold in their daily tran
sactions. 1t is only when the free
movement OF exchange is in some way
interrupted or credit shaken by doubts
of the currency, as in our case last
year, that the people begin to demand
the metal itself With the gradual
disappearance of the bimetallic deiu-
sion all over the world, there will be
found an abundance of gold to serve
as a basis for all the currency that
can be required, and the continuing
additions to the stock of silver can
thus be utilized for small change or
turned over to those unenlightencd
people who know nothing of banking
and mercantile credit, but still adhere
to the primitive methods Of barter and
prize a piece of metal for it's size.
