CAGES BRAZEN PLAN.

II we consider Secretary Cages
scheme as simply intended for the
further enrichment of the banks, and
especially the big banks, it is undoubt-
edly a good one. But how it is to fur
nish us with a better monetary system
or better grade of money than we
have now is beyond our ken. The first
act is to increase the gold reerve $25,-
100000. Then the interest-bearlnS
debt is to be increased some S2O0,00O,-
600 on gold bsais, and made perma-
nent, while $200000,000 in national
currency is withdrawn from circula-
ton and lnplaced with bank notes. FL
nally, the Government is TO stand be-
hind the hanks and redeem the notes
whenever the banks themselves fail to
do so. We are not informed as to what
kind of a redemption fund of per
cent the banks are to provide or how
they are to provide it. But supposing
it to be in gold, we are at a loss to see
upon what principle of sound finance
he considers 4 D per cent. redemption
fund sufficient for the banks, while
deeming a $100,000.000 gold reserve in
adequate for the United States treas
ury. 1t has been steadily assumed and
claimed that even the slightest delay
on the part OF the Government in re-
deeming with gold any form of its pa
per money would at once cause the lat
ter to depreciate and involve us in un-
told calamities. But how the banks are
to stand ready at any moment to re-

JUMPS TO HER DEATH.
Daughter of Ex-Secretary Herbert
Commits Suicide.

Dau&nter OF E1-SeCTetaTy herDcIV
Commits Suicide.
Suffering from melancholia and on the
verge of nervous prostration, Miss Leila
Herbert, daughter of President Cleve-
lands Secretary of the Navy, Tuesday
morning committed suicide by throwing
herself from n third-story window of her
fathers residence in Washington. When
picked up moment later she was still
breathing. but was unconscious and died
In few moments.
Miss Herbert had been an ipfalid for
three months. suffering from az injury to
her spine caused by IL fall from her horse
in Virginia last September. Recently she
had recovered sufficiently to be taken out
for carriage drives, but did not improve
as she had hoped, and had become de-
spondent over her condition, fearing that
she would never be able to walk firmly
again. While in this mood she often
talked of suicide, and less than week
ago she expressed wish to die rather
than suffer as she was suffering.
Tuesday morning the nurse noticed Miss
Herbert's respondent condition and en-
deavored to cheer her, but without result.
She expected a letter from her father,
yho was travelling in Alabama, and was
luch worried she did not get it. Shortly
before 8 o'clock she was with her younger
sister. Mrs. Micou. the Iatters mother-in-
law, and the nurse, in her own room, in
the front part of the third story. Sud
denly she walked into the rear room, and
without word of warning threw up the
sash of one of the windows and flung her
self out. The distance to the asphalted
yard below is about forty feet. Miss
Herbert fell some distance from the wall,
crushing her skull and breaking her neck.

dergone a shrinkage of nearly 2,0O0,0 600
head. It is also well known that heavy
percentage of that shrinkage has taken
place in the so-called corn belt States,
which is better understood as Nebraska,
Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. The
prime cause of the shrinkage in beef cat
tie was the very low figures for the same
beginning two years ago, and only ending
about the middle of this year. Then farm
ers and feeders began to skirmish for
young cattle to feed; to find something to
consume the big corn crops Of the past
two years. Every inch of territory IN TINS
country and Canada was searched for the
young steers ready to go on grass ana
corn afterwards; prices were run up 10
the highest range known in the trade, ana
yet the farmers wanted more. The rancn-
men saw here their way to get out OF the
misfortune they had met on account OF
destructive winter and n disappointing
spring season; their cattle coming IN ID
an emaciated condition to meet scant
and wasted pasturage: the season for
feeding going out rapidly, SO that theg
were unfit to send to market for beeves.
Especially were these the conditions I'D
the British Northwest, Montana and
North Dakota. However, by selling their
thin cattle to Kansas and Nebraska, also
to the feeders at the big distilieries OF
Illinois. Indiana and Kentucky, realizing
steady demand at prices that seemed
low. but at the same time doing better
than if they had undertaken to crowd
them on the barket as beeyes.

deem their paper in gold is a point
upon which Mr.. Gage throws no light
whatever. We do not believe that he
expects the banks to do much in the
way of redemption. He is not formu-
lating any plans to increase the pbur-
dens of the banks That is not what
he is in his present position for. If he
had not been assured that the plan
would be satisfactory to the banks, it
can be safely affirmed that it would
never have been submitted to the Cab
met 1t will be observed that he does
not recommend the immediate retire
ment of all our national currency, but
only $4G0. .000,000 of it. This leaves 100
millions of dollars in different forms of
United States currency with which to
drag" the treasury for gold. For in
ternal use, very little gold will be re-
quired In the main it will only he
needed for export. Is it reasonable to
suppose that the banks would permit
their own reserves of gold to be eX-
hausted when they can get it at the
treasury of the United States in ey-
change for greenbacks, Sherman notes,
silver certificates or silver dollars? 1t
is absolutely certain that in case of Il
heavy foreign demand for gold the
United States treasury would have to
furnish it just as it now does. until the
last piece of national paper money and
every silver dollar We're withdrawn
from circulation.

Married in Her Room.

a Kansas City special states that Jesse
Wall, young man well known in indie
pendence, killed himself year ago be-
cause he could not marry Miss Leona
Corder, the daughter of Jackson Corder,
one of the old settlers of the town. Miss
Corder loved young Wall and they were
engaged. but because they were first cous-
ins her parents would not consent to the
marriage. Her parents had always fav-
ored ]. Garland Webb, wealthy young
man Of Lafayette County. They insisted
upon the marriage when Mr.. Webb asked
for Miss Corder's hand, and finally she
consented and the wedding day was set.
Both families are largely connected and
4 houseful of guests and relatives came to
the wedding. 1t was to have been an
elaborate affair. AS the hour for the
ceremony approached Miss Corder be-
came hysterical. She declared that she
could not forget Wall. Ten o'clock came
and the wedding supper was served with
out the presence of the bride or groom,
and it was finally announced that Miss
Corder could not leave her room and the
marriage ceremony would be performed
there. So, in the presence of only her
parents and the most immediate relatives
of both, Mr.. Webb and Miss Corder were
married in her room.

Result Will Be Interesting.

An ingenious piece of literature re-
Gently put in circulation is the ballot
about to be voted in the Order of the
Patriots of America. On the face side
of it are ten questions Shat will inter-
est about every one. On the reverse
side is an explanation that the order IS
educational. In making the explana-
ton the following language is used:
The theory of republican government
is that when class interests are permitted
to do the thinking for the people, 1t results
in such class interests utilizing lesisia-
ton to enrich themselves, ending III I'M
poverishing the people, creating rest
less and distressed citizenship, and hnaly
despotsm to hold the people in suoJectioh'
and that the only escape from such drlIt
of affairs is by such methods as Will Sc
cure a majority expression of opinion from
all the people, in which expression, the
unselfish and disinterested people Will out
number those selfshly interested in a pro-
posed measure. This is illustrated IN
proposition now before the American peo-
pie: The national bankers are now ASK
ing the Government to retire tho green
backs; permit theN to deposit Govern
ment bonds with the United States Treas
urer; continue to draw down their inter-
est on the bonds; on the security OF the
bonds to draw from the Government ma
tiopal bank notes to the full face Salue or
the bonds. at q cost to the bankers OF one
half of one per cent interest per annum;
and in the meantime to be exempt from
taxation. Under present law they are
borrowing money from the Government Il.
the rate of one per cent per annum, anu
exempt from taxation, and propose, noW'
to draw to the full value of their security,
and. reduce the rate of interest u one
half of one per cent per annum, for money
which they loan to you and me at from SIX
to ten per cent per annum. 1t Is only
question of a few decades, when, under
such law, the property of the nation will
be transferred to the class thus benefited.
With this illustration, it will be readily
seen, in one instance only, how laws may
affect civilization, and how dangerous IL
is to concede that any class should be per-
mitted to do our thinking for us on queS-
tions of national legislation.
The ballots are being sent out by
mail for general distribution, and over
a half million Of them are now in cir
culation passing from hand to hand
and in letters all over the country. The
result of the voting will be watched
with interest, for it will present an
argument that is unanswerable. The
National Recorder, 362 Washington
boulevard, Chicago, will supply these
ballots free to all who make applica-
ton for them. They are given out for
free distribution, and the originality OF
the face side, on which the ballot ap-
pears. causes them to be generally read
| and studied.

GREAT BRITAIN ACTS.
Squadron to Make a Demonstration al
Che Foo.

According to Il special dispatch from
Shanghai. the British squadron will make
a demonstration at CheFoo, on the north
coast of the Shan-Tung promontory, as d
warning. 1t is supposed that Great Brit
ain intends to oppose the division of China
without consulting her.
1t is reported in London that Russia
has offered China q loan TO pay off the in
demnity of the war with Japan. and it is
believed, says the dispatch, that Japan
and England are acting in concert to pre-
serve China from disintegration. favoring
the idea of Il protectorate over central
China. with n capital at Marking. A
German Chinese commission has been ar
ranged, according to dispatch from
Shanghai, to settle the boundaries of the
occupied district at o-Chou, and it il
evident, therefore, that the occupation
will be permanent.
The same dispatch says it is rumored in
Shanghai that the British intend to occu-
py Talien.Wan, south of Port Arthur, in
order to guard the Gulf of Pi-Chi-Li. The
correspondent ut Toxic says there is ne
excitement there over the news from Port
Arthur. The press is calm and the public
is Indifferent 1t is rumored also, the dis

Titch in Seal Negotiations.

The correspondence which has passed
between Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Cana
dian premier, and Gen. Foster, the Amer
ican negotiator. touching the seal nego-
tiations, since the Washington conference
has been made public. 1t consists of two
letters. In the first, dated Ottawa, ov.
"a, Sir Wilfrid Laurier passes upon the
proposition of our Government which was
taken back to Canada by him at the con-
clusion of the conference. He says he is
willing to enter at once upon review of
the whole seal question, though the Paris
award was made revisa BILE only at the end
of FIVE years, provided the other questions
of Importance to the two countries-im-
migration, reciprocity, fish protection, etc.
be considered at the time. He declines,
however, to suspend sealing meantime.
The second letter is from Gen. Foster to
Sir Wilfrid, dated Washington, Dec. 2.
Gen. Foster says that Sir Wilfrid's an
swer is a declination of his proposition
and a renewal of the Canadian PROPOSE
ton made at the conference, and the
President declines to reverse his position
on that point.

Japanese Workers Threatened by
Cheap Labor from Corea.
1t is a curious fact that while Japan is
making an effort to find outlet for her
surplus labor by emigration, she is being
threatened ut home with competition OF
even cheaper labor. Horace Allen, Unit
ed State consul general at Seoul, has sent
to the State Department at Washington
an extract from a native paper, showing
that the Corean laborers are much priced
in Japan, and that considerable numbers
of them are being taken there to work IN
the coal mines. at which work they are
superior to the japanese in many respects.
1t has also been found that in work upon
the Seoul Chemulpo Railroad, now being
constructed by Americans, the Coreans
are superior to the Chinese and Japanese
as laborers on earth works, and the engi-
neer in charge reported that they were
quite as good as the labor in America,
though they are paid only % cents gold
per day and feed themselves.

HOLIDAY BUSINESS HEAVY.
Dun's Review of Trade Points Out
Eucouragiug Features.

Encouraging Features.
Dun's Weekly Review of Trade speaks
as follows: "Close to its annual holiday
the business of the year is surprisingly
large. Payments through banks are again
2.5 per cent larger than in 1892, hereto
fore the year of greatest prosperity; the
production of iron and woolens and boots
and shoes is larger than ever before, ex-
ports eclipse all past records and failures
for two weeks have been the smallest for
corresponding weeks in five years. Ihe
most weighty news of the week is the rise
of merchandise exports in November TO
SIG, $3.50, 900, the excess of exports in four
months being $229, ,212,401, while in half
of December exports are nearly as large
and imports S2,500,000 smaller than last
year. Probably all records are surpassed
by exports for this year, which have been
1914 100000 in eleven months, and the
excess over imports in five months has
probably exceeded $3.50 100000. Failures
for the week have been 800 in the United
States, against 3S7 last year, and 2S In
Canada, against Al last year.

ANOTHER GRAND FORKS BLAZE
Damaging Flames Again Appear in
Tho North Do LOfa City.

Damaging Flames Again Appear In
the North Dakota City.
The business portion of Grand Forks,
n. D., was threatened by another fire,
which would have been more destructive
than that of the day before, when the
Hotel Dakotah and the Mercantile Com
pany and Nash Brothers buildings were
burned. Smoke was seen issuing from
the first floor of the big department store
of Benner & Begg. In fifteen minutes
the building was in flames and the fire
had crept into the Stanchfield clothing
house and the H. A. Stone jewelry store
in buildings adjoining. After three hours
work, the fire was subdued. The damage
to the building and stock of Benner 4
Begg reaches $4,000. Losses to the
other firms are small.
