Money and Bribery.

Money has won again. Hanna
has been elected to the senate.
There was clear evidence Of bri-
berry. But Hanna had secured
flfty-siX members of the Ohio house
of Repre- esentatives-that is a ma
jority. How he secured them pro-
baby President Mckinley and
Senator Foraker can tell, as they
were in secret conclave at the
White House on Tuesday, January
II, from an hour before the legisla-
ture convened. and the telegraph
and long distancel telephone con
vcy messages from Washington
City to Columbus, Ohio, as easily
as next door neighbors talk from
their door steps to each other.
However, when the legislature
met it had been Published in the
press for more than twenty.four
hours that Mr.. Otis, n member of
the House from Cincinnati, had
been paid $4,000 on Sunday, at his
home, and was to receive $500
more on Monday to vote for Hanna
on Tuesday. Wht n the legislature
met Mr.. Otis was present with the
$4,000 in his pocket and with the
proof of bow it came into his pos
session. a motion to suspend the
rules and investigate the question
of bribery was voted down by the
fifty-six votes, which, with the
seventeen in the Senate, gave him
the seventy-three votes necessary
to secure an election.
Will the Senate of the United
States permit this man to take the
seat purchased with the power Of
patronage, bulldozing and open
bribery? Or is there not some
member of the majority with the
courage to move a reference of his
credentials to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, and ask
that the charges be Investigated :?
Or does Senatorial courtesy extend
that far?

Silver Leaders
Are Getting Together for the Great
Fight Next Fall.

WAsHINGToN January l4.-As a
result of conferences held within
the last few days between the sill
yer leaders of various parties it is
understood Chairman Jones, Of the
Democratic National Committee,
Chairman Butler, of the Populist
National Committee, and Chairman
Towne, of the Silver National Re-
publican Committee, will issue a
joint manifesto the early part of
next week with view to securing
common action by the three organ
izations in the political contest of
1898. The draft of the document is
now in the course of preparation.
1t will appeal to all those interested
in the cause Of silver to work in
union and avoid rival organizations
by which their common strength
will be dlssipated.
The talks among the silver men
continued to-day, but they did not
take the shape of formal confer
ence. Chairman Towne had re-
turned from the contest at Colum-
bus, where he assisted in the OPP
position to Mr.. Hanna. lie was
about the House of Representatives
talking with Representative Bland
and other silver opponents. The
feeling developed was generally in
favor Of common action among all
the silver elements. Messrs. John
Butler and Towne will confer fur
ther during the next few days and
the address will then be made pub
lie. On the 18th inst. the Ameri-
can Bimetsllic Union, of which
Warner, of Ohio, is President, holds
its meeting here, and this is expect
ed to give further cohesion to the
Joint silver m Ovement.

increase in proportion to the lin
crease of gold and silver.

increase In proportion to the I'M
crease of gold and silver.
Then it was proposed to demone-
tize gold, there being nearly four
times as much gold produced as
there was of silver. This effort fail
ed to Il great extent because the
United States refused to consider
the proposal.
The worlds Indebtedness was in
creasing, but so was the production
of gold and silver. Then a syste-
matte attempt was made to de-
monetize silvt r, and was continued
until in 1878 it was accomplished.
At that time the production ofgold
per year was Sl25,O00,000, and of
silver $S6,OOO,OO0. The debts Of the
world were $3O,OOO,OOO,OOO, and it
would have required nearly six
years production of the gold and,
silver of the world topay 4per cent
interest on the debt. a,.n ...
One of the latest estimates of the
worlds Indebtedness places it at
S34, GOO, 100000 for national debts
and about $33, ,OOO,OOO,0OO for muni-
cipal, with about the same amount
for corporate debts, grand total
of about $1OO,0O0OOO,OOO. The gold
product of the world is about $780,
100000. twould take sixteen years
product of the gold to pay the in
terest on the debt.
In 1916 the debt was sixty times
the annual product of the money
metals. In 1878 the debt had grown
to be one hundred and forty times
the product of the money metals,
and now, with gold only as money,
the debts is four hundred times the
value of the product of money.
All this vast Indebtedness is evil
denced by some form Of paper cer-
tificates. Ninety per cent of it is
in the hands of less than three
million people. Ten great banking
houses in Europe handle and con-
troll over half oft.

An "Alleged" Sea &C.

There are some advantages in the
use of the word "alleged" in order
to avoid libel. A reporter had been
incautious in a statement, possibly
true enough, but had been warned
to be more careful. The reporter in
this way extended the application
of "alleged:"
ALLEGED Mad Dog Scare at Hamp-
stead. An alleged mad dog, said to
be the property of an alleged butch
er named Frost of Atlantic avenue,
is alleged to have broken his chain
yesterday afternoon and attacked
the alleged daughter of Thomas
Drewsbury, who claims to be a tailor
in the same street. The girl is al
legged TO have been treated by DR..
Tupper, an alleged local practition-
er, for the alleged severe bites in
the hands and legs. 1t is further
alleged that the alleged butcher was
last year sent to goal for week by
the alleged magistrate of the North
western police court for not keeping
his alleged ferocious dog under
proper control"
That young man had the bump of
caution too abnormally developed,
and he was soon no moro in the sub

Palms nj Kew.

While acres of fertile soil are COW
cred with all the plants that can
stand the English climate, there are
others from moro sunny climes that
must have the protection of glass
and heat. The palmhouse, which
accommodates the ferns and palms
of priceless value, is 1863 feet long,
100 feet broad and SO feet high. It
Is the largest and most elegant
structure of its kind, fitted up with
all the modern inventions to make
plant life strong and vigorous. A

A few Facts on Finances.

standard in 1916. So far as re-

Gold and silver were then both
moneys Of r. dempiion, and the sup

drinking and go blindf" The young

MULES AS TIMEkEEPERs.
When They Have Done Their Trick on tn
Tounath They OMIT.

-------
When They Have Done Their Trick on the
Towpath, They Quit.
1t was just before 2 o'clock in the
morning and the sun had just come
enough way from across the sea to
climb up part way on the big globe
and cast pale gray light over the
awakening city. Laborers and shop
girls were hurrying to work, shiv-
ering in the chill air that marked
the sudden appearance of winter.
On the bridge crossing the canal
at the weighlock two men stood
Watching the approaching Loats,
and yawning and stretching in con-
temptation of another days work.
One was a canal employee.
"See those sleepy mules, " said he,
as he stretched himself again SYM
pathetically. "See that clock over
there in the tower of the railroad
station across the river. Two min
utes of z. Bet you those mules will
give the time first before the whis-
tie blows. They're great on time.
Know it better'n you do. Just
watch.
The three gaunt beasts, with their
ears Tapping in apparent forgetful-
ness, were urged into trot over the
bridge, and the two men lodged the
towline that slipped over the bridge
railing to the other side of the canal
1t was one minute of 2. The mules
stopped on the towpath.
All three loudly brayed, and the
chorus of Eth hows" awoke the
sleeping people along the canal bank
for hundreds of yards. And then
the whistles in all the factories sent
out steam into the cold air and in
tones shrill and somber sounded the
beginning of the days work.
"Wot l tell you2 Them mules beat
'em out by a minute, remarked the
canal employee leaning on the rail
ing of the bridge. "They won't go
no further. They know it's time for
feed and rest. See the boatman.
They're going to take a snub and put
on new team"
Lines were thrown and in few
minutes the canalboats were tied
fast to the bank. Three detected
looking mules, still munching a
wisp of hay, scrambled up the gang
plank, and their places in the stable
of the forward part of the boat
were soon taken by the timekeepers.
"Why, those mules" remarked
the canal man on the bridge, as he
watched the new team starting un-
der way and the towline stretching
as the lines were cast of, "know
more about the time of day than
you do unless you look at your
watch. They work just 30 many
hours. They go along the towpath

dropping, to be awakened occasion
