Senator PETER and his family are

government during the six years OF
his incumbency of senatorial seat,
and he has lived frugally and saved
most of the money. Now PETER an

He can afford to. He is one of the
few men who has been able, without
positive corruption, to make politics
pay.-Minneapolis journal.
This is quite a tribute to the popu.
list senator from Kansas from a re-
publican source. Senator PETER is
probably the ablest, most upright and
far seeing man in the peoples party
to-day. His withdrawal from politics
is proof of his sagacity and good

OFFICE IN TRIBUNE BUILDING.
TUESDAY, DEC. DIST: 1897.

The Minneapolis Tribune is now
out hunting for financial Moses. It
characterize the Gage plan as q hodge,
pod ge.mess and the presidents scheme
as make shift. and pravs for some
leader to arise and solve the problem.
The Minneapolis Tribune deserves
credit for it's good level comm,,n sense.
1t says:
"Very little attention need be given
to the elaborate financial plan pro-
posed by Secretary gage. The presi-
dent, as we have before remarked was
chary about indorsing it, but merely
commended it to the consideration of
congress; and the secretary himself
does not contend that it is complete
and final, but merely tentative or ex-
detrimental.
"The fundamental feature upon
which the success of the whole plan
rests, is the recommendation for the
issue of gold refunding bonds with
which to take up and retire the green
backs, and the secretary ought to know
that the present congress, at least, will
never consent to such an issue. Such
being the case, the whole plan is an
impossibility. A chain is 20 stronger
III
Cages scheme of financial reform will
get no further than the proposition to
issue gold bonds bearing ~ per cent
interest for the purpose Of taking up
demand obligations of the govern
ment which bear no interest. Mr..
Cages idea may be philosophically
correct, but it is impracticable be-
cause the temper of the public mind is
opposed to it. Such being the case,
it's suggestion can have, no other effect
than to promote Improbable discus
sion, and might as we'll have been
omitted.
The Gage plan gives satisfaction
neither to the gold men. the silver
men nor the fiat paper men. It is I'M
satisfactory to the gold men because
it is a compromise, seeking TO engraft
a few sound features upon an unsound
stock. If he is going to curtail the
government issues of paper at all, he
should sweep them away altogether
and substitute free banking, which
would give us an elastic currency,
which a mixed system will not. It is
satisfactory to the gold and green
back men because it goes to the ex-
IRENE of gold monometallism in theo-
ry, but does not provide any certain
means of maintaining gold payments
without throwing the responsibility
back upon the government. They
argue that if the government is to be
finally responsible, it may as we'll is
she it's own currency direct.
''There is a fine opening for a imam
cial reformer of the bold stripe, who
will propose symmetrical system of
currency, complete in itself. which is
not Il patchwork Of tho existing sys-
tenn combined with Il few new ideas.
Such plan might not be Immediately
adopted, but the discussion of it would
be educational in it's ature: and the
country might work up to it in time.
But$the discussion Of the Gage hodge,
p"dge will excite only contempt for
the impracticability Of the author and
the lack Of courage which prefers tenn
PORTING to thoroogh-soiug action.
Perhaps such a leader will arise in
congress, and that body. casting aside
the make-sI,ff. propositions of the
president and his financial secretary
will give the country IL comprehensive
scheme of American finance.

- Speaking of experiences" said a

crossroads town I found the people
very religious and sincere, while, I am
afraid, was neither. Invent to church,
though, because everybody was. expect
ed to 60. ~One of the regular attendants
was sort of half lawyer, half farmer,
who was no more religiously inclined
than was, and we became firm friends
through our mutual sense of humor.
The one church was presided over by
worthy couple. By that I mean that
the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Carter, preached,
while Rev. Mrs. Carter did evangelical
work in teaching the Bible class. She
had an air of omniscience that was de-
hghtful, but it irritated my farmer-law-
yer friend, so one day he came to me
and said:

for the day was the account of the walk
ing OF the three men in the fiery fur
mace. We were treated to a long lecture
by our teacher on the beauties of the
triumph of faith, and as she stopped for
want of breath my farmer friend. who
sat behind me, gave me nudge and
said:
"Now's your time; take her down.

But, Mrs. Carter, haven't you heard

an had ever heard of the substance. but

she replied:
