Electrician Hancock will make the

CURRENCY PROBLEM.
PRESIDENT M'KINLEY SENDS A
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
Urges the Appointment of a Nom
Partisan Commission to Con-
slider the Subject.

WASHINGTON, July 24-The Presi-
dent has sent this message to Congress:
To the Congress of the United States:
In my message converting Congress in
extraordinary session, I called atten-
ton to single Subject-that of pro-
viding revenue adequate to meet the
reasonable and proper expenses of the
| Government. 1t seemed to be the most
pressing subject for settlement then. A
bill to provide the necessary revenues
for the Government has already passed
the House of Representatives and the
Senate, and awaits executive action.
Another question of Importance is that
Of establishment of our currency and
banking system on a better basis,
which / commented upon in my inaug
ural address in the following words:
Our financial system needs a revision;
our money is all good, but it's value
must not be further threatened. It
should all be put upon an enduring ba
sis, not subject to easy attack. The
forms of our paper money offer, in my
judgment, a constant embarrassment
to the Government, and imperil a safe
balance in the treasury
Nothing was settled more clearly at
the late national election than the de-
termination upon the part Of the people
to keep their currency stable in value
and equal to the most advanced ma
lions of the world. The soundness of
our currency is nowhere questioned.
No loss can occur to its holders. The
system should be simplifed and
strengthened, keeping our money just
as good as it is now, with less expense
to the Government and to the people.
The sentiment of the country is
strongly in favor of early action by
Congress in this direction to revise our
currency laws and remove them from
partisan contention. A notable assem-
bly, of business men, with delegates
from twenty-nine States and Terri
tories, was held at Indianapolis in
January of this year. The financial
situation commanded their earnest at
tention, and after a two-days' session
the convention recommended to Con-
gress the appointment of a monetary
commission.
Il commend this report to the con-
sideration of Congress. The authors of
the report recommend a commission to
make a thorough investigation of the
monetary affairs and needs of this
country in all relations and aspects,
and to make proper suggestions as to
any evils found to exist, and the rene
dies therefor. This subject should
have been called to the attention of
Congress at the special session. 1t
ought not to be postponed until the
regular session.
II therefore urge and recommend that
a special commission be created, nom
partisan in its character, to be COM
posed of well-informed citizens of diff
ferent parties. who will command the
confidence of Congress because of their
special fitness for the work, whose duty
it shall be to make recommendations
of whatever changes in our present
banking and currency laws may be
found necessary and expedient, and to
report their conclusions on or before
the first day of November next, in or

JOKE ON THE DIRECTORY MAN.
Tried Every Other Language and
Never Thought of English

Many amusing incidents occur in the
daily experience of the men who get
names for the city directory. One OF
them tells of a call he made on a man
in a potato patch.
''It was in the Polish district, but as
[ speak that language and nearly
every other my versatility in that line
getting me my position, addressed him
in Polish, asking him his name and
occupation. He Shoook his head, SO
tried German. AS he did not understand
that any better tackled him in Italian
and French, getting no response except
a shake of the head. I had still a few
more languages to be heard from, and
l was wondering which one was likely
to meet his case. when he straig htened
himself UP from his potato patch, and.
looking at me with a twinkle in his eye,
said:
What's the matter with spakin' TO
me in United States, sorr, seem amt
in it wild the other languages
And l just sat down there and
laughed when l thought of the panto-
mime 1 had given him, with my unin-
telligible questions. Chicago Times

der that the same may be transmitted
by me to Congress for it's consideration
at its first regular session.
1T is to be hoped that the report will
be so comprehensive and sound as to
receive the support of all parties and
the favorable action of Congress. At
all events, such report cannot fail to
be of value to the executive branch of
the Government as we'll as to those
charged with public legislation, and
greatly assist in the establishment of
an improved system of finance.

STATE AID FOR ROADS
The Proper Method OF Raising the Cost of
Good Road Building

Will all the advance Of thought in
the direction Of better highways, there
are still many who believe that their
cost must necessarily fall upon the
agricuItuFist. just as the farmer was
the pioneer settler in most of the states,
so he has been the pioneer road builder.
At his town meetings he has deter
mined where new roads should be laid
out, which of them should be worked"
and improved, and how much of a tax
should be expended upon each improve
ment. AS it Was left to him to plan
this important work, so its expense has
rested almost entirely upon his should
ers. Now, that the cry of macadamized
highways is to be heard in the city and
country alike, farmers believe as a rule,
that they are to be called upon to build
them
This is wrong Farmers have enough
in the way Of taxes to pay, without
undertaking the building of elaborate
gravel and stone roads. 1t is unfair
that such a burden should be added to
their already heavy load. Whatever
may be undertaken in the way of con
structing permanent highways, should
be done at the expense of those who
are to reap its benefits. True it is that
the savings in the cost of hauling crops
would be considerable, and that this
saving would result almost entirely to
the farmer But that is no reason tor
asking him to pay the cost Of building
such roads He is not the only one to
use them They serve to bring city
people and city products into the
country, as much as they serve to bring
country people and country products
into the city. The merchant who has
business with the farmer is as much
benefited through a good road to travel
over, as is the farmer who COMES to
town on business of any kind. Neither
is the use of roads limited to those liv-
ing in the vicinity, and travellers from
a distance share the benefits resulting
from their improvement. 1t would be
the height of injustice, therefore, to ask
the farmer alone to stand the cost of
good roads.
The proper division of the cost of
good roads has been accomplished
through state aid. This is the system
by which the stone roads of New Jersey
have been built The farmers i'll that
state are so enthusiastically favorable
to that extension of the state aid sys-
TEN, that it deserves to be described

PEEKED THROUGH A HOLE.
stephen Crosby Tells HOW He saw His
Domestic Trouble.

John schmutz, charged with adult
terry, was given a hearing before Justice
Slater today Mr.. Schmutz brought to
the scene of action, besides his attor-
neys, Messrs. Baker, small army OF
witnesses. The opening was delayed a
little by the absence of some Of the de-
fendant's witnesses. Mr. Crosby, the
plaintiff, was on hand before the hour
set for the hearing, which was III
o'clock. Finally Mr. Schmutz was
brought in by Sheriff Abel and the
hearing began. The plaintiff was puC
upon the stand. In answer to a few
questions asked him by District Attor-
ney Buckmaster, he said that he had
lived in Kenosha county for about
fifty four years and had known Mr.
Schmutz about twelve or thirteen years.
At this point the Register of Deeds was
put on the stand and sWore that Mr.
and Mrs. Crosby were married in Ke
nosha by Jason Lothrop, min
lister, on June z, 1862. After this Mr..
Crosby was invited to tell all the
facts at hand which would go to prove
that Mr. Schmutz was guilty Of the
charge brought against him. There
upon Mr. Crosby set out upon tale
which involved beside a great deal that
can not be published, west window
with curtain and a curtain with a
hole in it through which Mrs. Crosby
used to peek to take in the doings OF
his wife and Mr.. Scmutz. About half
after eleven the plaintiff gave some
testimony which very much reused Mr.
Scmutz who jumped to his feet, and
taking off his coat, threatened to pun
ish Mr. Crosby. The officers with Mr.,
Baker finally Quoted him.
When this paper went to press Mr..
Chrosby was still telling a story which
made it seem that for the last several
months he had been of minor i'm
portance in his household.
