A Partnership Arrangement.

A Minneapolis man once invited
friend TO dine with him, and neglected
to telephone his wife to that effect. In
order o make matters worse. both host
and visitor stopped in at the club on
the way home, and consequently were
late for dinner-very late. The diIa-
tory husband undertook to explain his
tardiness while dinner was being served
and put up q rather over plausible de-
Tense in the line of business complica-
tions coming up at the very last mo-
ment before he should have left the
Office. The hostess heard him with
omin9us polteness, and then calmly
said; Perhaps; but you really can't
look me in the eye and tell that story"
'No-no, stammeTed the eulprit; and
then. as a brilliant idea struck him.

PROBLEM SOLVED.
Easy Way in Which Pretty Girls
Cvercame a Deficit.

There is a Young Ladies Shakes
peare Club on the North Side, the mem-
bers Of which decided a week or two
ago to give up active discussion for the
hot months. They had had a very
successful year, had learned a good
deal that they did not know before, and
We're thoroughly enthusiastic ever the
literary society as an educator The
season had passed without the slight
est Misunderstanding of any kind and
there had been only one quandary in
the whole year, and that was whether,
after they had resolved to take up
Milton for the ensuing twelve months,
they could properly be called a Shakes
peare Club. There We're a number who
said it would not do, but still everyone
hated to change it, the old name sound
ed so cultivated.
As fitting close to the years work
the club determined to have a picnic.

quent consultations with the treasurer,
and it was agreed to exhaust the re-

the entertainment as elaborate as possi-
Bile. The 81 21 on hand was carefully
apportioned out to meet the various
demands which were to be made upon
it. The committee was kept for several
days going in two or three directions at
once. AT the end of this time all the
money was invested
They We're almost on the point of

that no cash had been retained for car
fares, ice cream, or fruit. This fell like
a thunderbolt on the pleasure seekers,
However, they were not daunted. They
rsolved that the requisite sum should
be got some way or other. Several of
the members took it up and made thor
ough efforts to obtain the deficit. This
was not as easy as it might have been.
Several Of the girls objected to any
more assessments, as they had had
several. Others wouldn't have minded

be arranged, while others had still diff

The whole thing was on the point Of
resolving itself into melancholy af-
fair when three of the youngest and
most charming members of the society
volunteered to see that they should
meet all expenses. On their return they
announced that everything was lovely
and that no one need worry any more
about money matters
How did you manage it?' came in
chorus from the other members of the

FALLING INTEREST INCREASING
VOLUME.

We were told last fall by the Bryan
men that unless the volume of money
was increased by the free coinage of
silver at 10 to 1, rates of interest
would advance and money would be
hard To get, even upon gilt edge securf-
ties. But the decision was against the
10 to l proposition. AIT that very time
rates Of interest were lower than they
had been for years. To-day witnesses
the steady decline in the interest rate
until it is probable that before the
close Of the year it will reach a point
never before known in this country.
In the West, for instance, the offer
ings of money on landed security are
from / to per. cent. lower for interest
than at this time last year. Thus money
has been cheapened without the volume
being increased by the free coinage of
silver. 1t has been replied to this that
the agricultural prosperity due to the
advance in prices of cereals has stiffen-
ed landed security, and. hence,
reduced the interest rate. But
the Engineering Record" has gath
cred evidence to show that the
freedom of loans and the lowering of
interest rates has not been confined to
outside landed security, but operates
in the case of city and town bonds also.
The Record" cites the cases of eleven
cities which sold bonds last year, and
have sold remainders of the issues this
year on far better terms. This change
amounts to about half of 1 per cent.
in annual interest, and this the Rec
ord" calculates is a reduction equal to
u per cent. of the old rates under
which the bonds were sold.
The conclusion is inevitable that it
is restored confidence that has thus af-
fected the rental price of money; that
there was money enough, but that it
was in hiding, timorous and cowardly,
and that what was needed to bring it
forth, and lower the rental rate, was
confidence and not free silver. Give
investors confidence in the stability Of
national financial system; that it is
not to be subject to violent changes, is
not to be made the shuttle cock of poll
ties, and cash energies from seclusion,
and the supply for investment by nat
uraI process reduces the rental.

The battle between the Polanders at
Girardville, Pennsylvania, illustrates
how little regard these aliens have for
the laws of the land in which they
live. Brutal passion alone appears to
rule them; they enter upon their phys
ical contests and slash and cut one an
other with the freedom of savages, and
are as contemptuous of the interference
of peace officers as wild animals. We
are not informed of the cause of the
recent trouble which eliminated in

cnrp1KE REFLECTIONS.

San Jose Herald: According to the
statement of the United Mime work
ers the strike is practically over. IL
seems to have ended in the virtual de-
feat of the miners. They have OBJ
tanned very small concession but far
from what they asked. OF course 1t
is difficult for us at this distance to
pass any opinion as to the merits OF
the contest. The only general conclu-
sion that can be drawn IS that the wave
of prosperity can hardly be running as
high for the workingmen as some peo-
pie would have us believe. Unless Ia
Dor had been at discount II would
probably have won the strike. But
what permanent advantage could the
miners expect to gain so long as the
great mining companies are permitted
to rush the cheapest labor of Europe
into the country to break down Amerl-
can wages. The supply Of such Ia
Dor is practically inexhaustible and
when the laborers strike they are
merely trying to raise the price OF Ia
Dor on a glutted market.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

Something will be forgiven to the
city council if it shall have nerve
enough to follow the line of action
which the assembly committee has
marked out for it in the matter Of
the cable franchise. 1t is recommended
that proceedings for the forfeiture of
this shall be commenced at once. This
is what the G o b has urged from
the beginning, and what appears to be,
now more than ever, the only sensible
and feasible method of dealing with
the street railway company. Not only
has it failed to render reasonable sery-
ice on the Selby avenue line, not only
has it rejected contemptuously ordi-
nances that were altogether too liberal
to it, and suggested substitutes con-
tanning provisions impossible of ac-
ceptance, but it has contumaciously
declined to fulfill the obligations i'm
posed upon it by the city in the matter
of paving on Fourth and Third streets.
In every direction it has brought it
self within the punitive jurisdiction of
the law. On these different grounds it
has made itself amenable to the courts,
and we do not believe that there is a
question that its franchise is forfeit
able both in law and equity.
While we think we may be excused,
in view of past performances, from
any unassailable confidence in the pur-
poses or future acts of this council, and
While the public will hold its opinion
somewhat in allegiance until it finds
how zealously matters are pushed, we.
in common with practically the whole
people, will applaud every movement
that looks toward the restoration to
the city of its rights on the Selby line,
since the street railway company has
refused to recognize them. Unless we
proceed sternly and quickly to enforce
our rights, we shall find ourselves
without remedy to the end of time.
We believe that, with an exhaustive
and determined examination of the
powers and privileges of the street
railway company and of all its exist
ing franchises, there will be disclosed
so many assures in it's armor that it
will gladly do all it should have done
long ago. If not, we shall at least then
be in position to negotiate with cap
italists who will. The Globe feels
no individual luminosity towards this
company, but it believes that the time
has come when st. Paul should be
rightly treated and adequately served
in the matter Of street railway trans
portation. That can come about. it
now appears, only through legal pro-
ceedings, and these should be carried
forward with the utmost energy and

NAVAL De MOMSTRATION.
War Ships Again to BE Seen i'm the
Gulf.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-In the
opinion of the administration the time
is now ripe for a renewal Of the prac-
tice of having the United States navy
represented in the waters of the Gulf
OF Mexico and the Caribbean sea. For
several years past, save an occasional
cruiser, sent with all haste on her wav
to or from the South Atlantic station
not vessel of the navy has gone be-
yond the southern waters of Florida
for the reason that the presence of
United States war vessels in the neigh
borhood of the Spanish Antilles might
have served to create an erroneous i'm
preston as to the attitude of the Unit
gents and have tended to complicate
the relations between the United States
and Spain at a time when it was de-
sirable that no outside Influences should
be brought into play. Now, however,
with the improvement in conditions in
Cuba and the continued existence of
good relations between the two gov
ernments, the navy department is about
to let some Of the smaller vessels of
the navy go into West Indian waters
during the present winter season. The
Marblehead, now at Annapolis, will
start southwark as soon as she has
concluded her work in connection with
the trial of the torpedo boat Winslow.
She will go to Navassa to look into the
condition of United States citizens who
are working on that island Nothing
has been heard from that place official
ly for some time, and it Is deemed
proper to inquire into allegations of
abuse in treatment of workmen there
While engaged in this inspection the
Marblehead will make her headquar-
tiers at Port au) Prince on the west
coast of Hayti and will be charged with
the protection of American interests
generally in that section of the West
Indies.
This statement, which comes from
the department of state, Is taken to
mean that her commander will see that
our interests do not suffer in the event
that the German government proceeds
forcibly to punish Hayti for the arrest
of Lueders The Wilmington also is to
be sent southwark, but first will be
locked and overhauled. She will touch
at Guadalupe, and after a stay in
tropical waters will continue on to the
South Atlantic station. The gunboat
Annapolis, now transformed into
training ship, is slated for a trip into
the gulf during the winter, with a
number of naval apprentices aboard.

some way. Were the disposition of st.
Paul toward Minneapolis the same as
that which is exhibited almost univer
sally by the Minneapolis papers toward
st. Paul, there would have been daily
articles holding Minneapolis up to the
country as city so bested by hard
times and in such a deplorable financial
condition that it could not keep open its
public schools. That was the treatment
that st. Paul received in condition
which was not even as much it's own
fault as that to which Minneapolis Is
subject. Yet not one word of the sort
has been published, and the G b e

point this moral, and to express the
hope that the decency and fairness dis
played at this end of the line may at
some future time provoke a return in
kind.
