The U. S. bimetalic commission are
now located in Par's, where they will
spend a month in the exercise of their
persuasive powers to impress the French
government favorsbly as to the pro-
priety of the early calling OF an inter
national conference, Their efforts thus
far have not been crowned with success,
the French premier declining to act un-
less assured that Great Britain will
participate. This action on the part OF
France might have been anticipated
and like result would no doubt be
met with in other countries, which gives
rise to the thought, that it would have
been more sensible for the commission
to have selected London as the base of
their innitiai efforts

They Welcome John.

John Wanamaker used to be utilized
by the pop contingent a. terrible
example when they preached feminist
the evils of riches and the desirability
Of hanging millionaires to lamp posts
or apple trees or any other old thing
that might be handy. He was one Of
the cormorants that they were after
with view of stripping them of their
over plusage of cold cash and dividing it
between those who haven't earned any
money or ifthey have. have spent it all.
But the other day after pondering for
some time upon the demnible iteration Of
Matt Quay's victories over fellows who
wanted to run against him in Pennsyl-
vanis, John suddenly Inugwumped and
declared the country in immediate
danger. He allows that the republican
party has been at the helm now two
months and little oyer and still times
arc tolerably hard. He says that y lille
a protective tariff may help US out some,
why don't We settle the money question?
Ana he is evidently quite q good deal
disgusted with the republican party be-
cause 1t elected another fellow to the
United States senate q few weeks ago.
The pop organs recognised these symp-
toms In a second. They have all ex-
psrienced the same. The old parties
have gone of and 'left 'em"--tnat is,
len 'em without an Office. and hence
they have been compelled to organize
newer and purer one. The pop or
gans are welcoming John into the fold
with tremendous effasion and II he
doesn't look out be will be the preferred
pop candidate for president the first
thing be knows. Il is not likely that
John contenplates enduring such fate,
but after statesman muswumps, even

An effort is being made by the officers
of the Cuban league in New York to
raise fund of one million dollars in the
United States for the Cubans, which, it
is believed, will enable them to estab-
lish their independence. The fund is to
be raised by donations and by the sale
of gold bonds at 6 per cent, payable ten
years after the evacuation of Cuba by
the Spanish troops. About $4,000 has
already been raised toward the fund.

rive such strength from her position az
q silver country that the unfortunate
countries that were handicapped by a
gold standard would be routed at cnce.
But the snserprisiDg islanders have in
sisted on throwing away the powerful
lever with which they were to overturn
the industrial world, and IL is worth
while for silver people to enquire
whether the Japs are fools like all the
rest Of Us, or whether the awful suspi-
cion that the silver people themselves
have been mistaken may be confirmed.
The proposed trip would be doubly
laudable If one only dared to hope that
the tourists would study the question
open mindedly. Possibly they hope to
come back and make such a report as
will secure them second trip at the
expense OF the government like that
which Ed Wolcott and Adlai are now
enjoying.

The eastern part Of the state was
visited by damaging frost during the

feature of the unfortunate circumstance
is the total destruction of the Russian

Of the worst pests with which the farmer

All OF the prominent towns of the
Hills are taking preliminary steps in
the direction Of representation at the
Trans Mississippi Exposition at Omaha
next year, except Custer, which. thus
far, has taken no action. 1t is time
Custer was showing her hand in this
important matter, and we hope that a
disposition to aid in the popular move
nent may be manifested by our citizens
at an early dsy. Custer has always
been notably in evidence at the import
ant expositions of the past, and it is
of the utmost importance that the city
be represented in this instance. Let
US, by all means, DO something, and DO
1t without unnecessary delay.
