EVOLUTION OF MONEY.

r unwarranted Government Interference
Prevents Easy Transition From One Sub
stance to Another. f
Money is simply commodity that Il
. generally recognized as universal
equivalent, and its degree of goodness
or efficiency consists in the unanimity OF
the recognition Of the fitness of the com
modify used as money TO perform the
essential functions of money. Many
commodities have been used as money,
aud they have remained in use as long
ms they met the essential requirements
Of money among the people where used.
or until some other commodity appear
ed the fitness of which commended it,

10 the commodity then being used.
AS people have advanced in discrim-
mating intelligence they have discard
ed inferior commodities and adopted in
place thereof something that was supe
rior. These changes kept taking place
| until finally gold and silver became the
commodities that were recognized by
the people of most countries as being
the best for use rs money. Sociological
transition is constant Change is the
natural order Of things, and changes

The Laurum village authorities ar,
considering number Of Improvement:
about the town which il is proposed "a
make during the summer and some OF
which appear TO be necessary and adyis-
able to commence al once. \ special
meeting OF the council has been called for
next Tuesday evening when the various
proposed Improvements will be eonsid-
cred and some sort Of definite outline
Of the amount of work 10 be done
and the amount OF money TO be expended
will be discussed and agreed upon. One
OF the improvements proposed is in re-
gard TO the streets. Laurium streets
are, and always have been, considered
above the average and the yihgant and
vigorous attention paid to them by the
street commissioners have kept them in
fairly good condition. Ii is probable
that some money will be expended on the
streets coon. In order to keep the streets
IN good condition all summer it is pro- |
posed to purchase street sprinkler. |
The village has never owned one and il Is
only a question OF whether the village
can afford the extra expense il one is to
be purchased, The question OF extend

also under consideration. The dam
water runs on some OF the streets, bat a

access TO il Tor garden use and sanitary
purposes As a matter of precaution
against fire is is also proposed to extend
the system.

THE FLOODS.
More Serious Breaks in the Levees,
and Thousands Of Acres Of Fine
Farms Flooded-No Loss Of Life.

Memphis, Tenn, March 29.-The
Commercial Appeals correspondent at
Rosedale, Miss, telegraphs the follow
ing tonight:
At last two links in the chain of Mis-
sissippi levees have snapped. At Way
side. a few miles south of Greenville,
about midnight. serious break occur
red. inundating many of the finest
farms in the South. The large forest
trees went down before this mighty
torrent. which poured against them, as
grain before the seaper's blade. But
no lives were lost. At o'clock p. m.
to-day another disastrous break oc-
Cured a few miles west of Pertshire,
near Gunnison. Miss, on the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley railroad. The levee
there was twelve feet high and thought
to be safe. but as is usually the case. it
broke where least expected. The orig
inal break was 60 feet wide. and at s
H. m. il had widened to 2S0 feet and
the water coming through 1t like a
cataract. | am also reliably informed
that there is much apprehension felt
for the lives of the people living east
of this break, as the flood will come
upon many of them without warning to-
night.
JACKSON. Miss. March pa later
dispatch from Greenville. dated p. m,
saws the break at Lake Lee is now 600 feet
wide and widening. All hone of closing
the crevasse has been abandoned. The
leyee along the Greenville front is still
holding and a superhuman effort is being
made to keep it intact. The weather con-
tinues very unfavorable, the rain now
coming down in torrents.
ALTON. H.. March 29.-Flood condi-
tons become graver every hour. Men
were nut TO work this morning overhaul
ing all the levees protecting higher bit
tom lands.
QUINCY. Ill. March 29.-The Mississip-
nj kesps ND its record of the past week at
This point. and another rise is registered
making the stage 10 feet above low water
mark.
Renor,s from north Of here are very dis
co,,raeing and the rain storm which pre-

as a means of putting down a war caused
by its desires for money and power. To
kill the suspect. to kill the criminal, to
kill the defenceless prisoners, to kill the
helpless wounded, TO kill all who are able
20 impede its desolating action all this is
comprehensive as the way that the Span
iards have always understood and carried
on warfare.
The Spanish. unable to exercise acts Of
sovereignty over the interior of Cuba. have
forced the peasants to concentrate in vii
lagos. where it is hoped misery will force
them to serve in the armies of govern
ment which they abhor. Not only are
these unhappy ones forced to abandon the
only means by which they can live; but
they are branded as decided supporters
Of our arms and against them, their wives
and children. is directed the fearful and
cruel persecution.
Ought such facts be tolerated by a civ
ilzed people? Is 1t possible that civilized
people will consent to the sacrifice of I'M
armed and defenseless men? Can the
American people view. with culpable in
difference, the slow but complete exter-
mination of thousands of innocent Ameri-
cans? No; YOU have declared that they
cannot. We see the brilliant initiative
you have taken in protesting strongly
against the killing of Europeans and
Christians in Armenia. and In China, de-
nouncing them with evidence of heartfelt
energy.
Knowing this, to-day. frankly and le-
gally appeal to you, and declare that L
cannot completely prevent the acts of van
dalism that I deplore.
THE American people march legiti-
mately at the head of the Western Contin-
ent and they should no longer tolerate
the cold and systematic assassination Of
defenceless Americans. lest history impute
to them a participation in those atroci-
ties.
Initiate the high example that I have
indicated above. Your conduct, further
more, will be based sondly on the Monroe
doctrine
Grown your honorable history of states
manship with a noble act of Christian
charity. Say to Spain that murder must
stop, that cruelty must cease. Thousands
of hearts will cafl down eternal benedic-
tions on your memory and God. the Su-
premely Merciful, will see in it the most
meritorious work of your entire life.
Il am your humble servant.
