Two Lives Lost I'm "A Recent Fire I'm
Detroit.

Detroit, May 3.-Two persons were
burned to death and two others very
seriously burned in comparatively
small fire at five o'clock Satur-
day evening. The burned struc-
ture was two-story frame build
ing in Chene street, near Garfield ave-
nue., occupied by Il. III. Heidel's bakery.
In the upper story lived the family of
Nicholas Sinig, four members of which
were quickly surrounded by the flames.
OF these Lena Sing, aged II, and Mich
olas, aged o, were badly burned in get
ting downstairs and ont of the building.
Mrs. Sinig escaped by ladder without
injury. Lizzie Sinig, aged 20, and her
brother Anthony, aged five. were caught
in back room, whence they could not
reach any means of egress, and before
help arrived they had been burned to
death. a man living across the street
heard the victims screaming, but before
he could aid them the burning roof had
fallen in upon them. From appearance
of the bodies death was caused by suf-
location before the flames had reached
them. They had been supposed to be in
the front part of the building. but in
reality did not get out of the back room.

TRUTH OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Silver Not the Leading Issue in the
Late Struggle.

The effort that has been made by
various newspapers, particularly of the
reform variety, to prove that In taking
up the tariff question the republican
party is guilty of bad faith becomes
more ridiculous the more il is exam
ined
1t has been asserted that the currency
question was the great and only issue
in the campaign. The money question
was a great issue, and from present I'M
dications it is going to become great
question in the future. At the present
time the silver people are as active as
they have been at any time. They are
more confident to-day of the ultimate
triumph of their views than they have
been at any time within the past year
1t would be a great mistake to try to
decry this question. Silver played an
important, perhaps a determining part,
in the Chicago municipal campaign, and
it may play an important and perhaps
a determining part in other municipal
campaigns. At any rate the silver ele-
ment is assertive and aggressive, and
those who believe in silver are more
resolved than ever that their views shall
prevail in the end.
While this is so, it is nevertheless true
that silver was not the only question
in the presidential campaign. In COM
ing campaigns it may be the central
figure, but in the one that was decided
last year there were other matters of
Importance; and ii is disingenuous on
the part of certain newspapers to con-
tend that the republicans are guilty of
bad faith in bringing the tariff forward
at the present time. AS mater of fact,
so far MS Gov. Mckinley was con-
cerned, he always kept the tariff ques-
ton prominent during the campaign.
Those who recall the speeches he made
will readily recall that circumstance.
Therefore, no matter what position
the silver question may take in the flu
ture, and it promises to take an inn
portant position even in municipal con-
tests, it was not the only one uppermost
in the last presidential campaign.-Al-

illustration, and the tuck should therefore
be toward the heads, so that it will not pull
out.
The hand binding harvester with men to
do the binding is out of date, and so is the
left hand machine, which has been super.
seeded by the Mccormick Right Hand Open
Elevator, the success of which makes it seem
highly probable that there will be no pro-
gressive manufacturer building left hand
machines in three years.
The application of roller bearings to grain
cutting machinery was made by j. G.. Perry
in 1869, and his patent, No 86,5S4, for an
improved reaper, showed and described
various ways of using roller and ball bear
ings in harvesters. In view of these facts
it is somewhat amusing to read the claims
of certain reaper maker of the present
day, who says he was the first to introduce
roller bearings in harvesting machinery. AS
a matter of fact this manufacturer is COM
paratively a beginner in the art of reaper
building and has originated nothing.
PROFESSIONALLY the most practical and sat-
isfactory application of roller bearings to
binders and mowers has been made by the
Mccormick Harvesting Machine Company.
The Particular form used by them was patent
ed in 1882 and is now TO be found in all Nc
Cormick machines. The especially valuable

4 Rainbow Spoiled.

Mayor-elect Harrison, of Chicago,
spoils the beautiful theory. which DEM
ocratic shriekers are spreading broad
cast, that the municipal elections this
spring are hopeful sign of restoration
for the democracy. He admits that his
success in Chicago was purely upon the
question: of municipal reform, and that
national questions did not enter into the
campaign i'm that city. Investigation of
the conditions attending democratic
success in other cities show that this
was the case generally. In not n single
one of the municipal elections did ma
tional issues cut any figure, while in
the state election of Rhode Island where
national issues were at the front, the re-
pihblicans Increased their vote 20 per
cent. over that which they gave to Nc
Kinley in 1896. The municipal contests
were not like a rainbow, which is usu-
ally a sign thot the rain is over.--Tolric

THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
An Issue That VIII Receive Attention
I'm Due Season.


The assertion which is made by some
of the Sound money" democratic pa
pers that the republicans have ''shelved"
monetary reform is a little too precipi-
tate. President Mckinley gave promi-
nent place to this subject in his in
augural address, and suggested the APP
pointment of commission TO 60 over
the whole question and report n plan
which would bring our diverse and illog-
zeal system into approximate harmony
with the requirements of the time. A
bill to carry out the presidents sugges-
tion has been introduced in the house.
Probably no more of the house commit
tees will be formed this session, and
therefore no definite action can be taken
on this question until next winter.
II would be unreasonable to blame the
republicans for giving precedence to
the tariff question. A deficit of some
thing like $70,0OO,OO0 year in the
revenues is to be provided for, and this
necessity is far greater than that of re-
forming the financial system, urgent
as the latter requirement is. The con-
dition of the currency will not get
worse, for the assault on the nations
monetary stability and solvency made
last year has been repealed, and it cam
not be repeated until three years hence
at the earliest. On the other hand, the
necessity for immediate action on the
question of the revenues is imperative.
Until the government begins to pay it's
own way, and all further danger of
bond sales to strengthen the treasury
is averted finally and permanently, bust
ness confidence cannot be resumed and
the trade revival begin. 1t is the aim
of the republicans to so adjust the
duties that while providing ample reve-
nue. for the government, more protec-
ton, where needed, shall be furnished
to the Industries.
Most of the republican leaders be-
lieve that if the currency question were
brought up in congress at the present
time the tariff bill would be delayed,
and the real work which forced the
president to call congress in session
would thus be endangered. 1t must
be remembered that the treasury
deficits, and not the unsatisfactory con-
dition of the currency, was the melting
cause of the extra session. Currency
reform is a much more difficult question
to deal with than is the tariff. 1t has
more sides, and the chances for division
and Generalization inside of each party
is greater. If this issue should be
brought up now the whole question of
money in all its ramifcations which
convulsed the country in 1896 would
have to be discussed. Manifestly this
would distract the attention of con-
gress and the country to large extent
from the tariff, and delay or endanger
action on this question. Let us settle
the revenue and protection issue before
we take up another burning question.
Congress will have free hand next win
ter and spring to deal with the per-
picking and disturbing issue of the
fnances.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Why Mccormick Changed from the
Left To the Right Hand binder.

1t has been said that the conveniences OF
one age become the necessities OF the next:
but no ordinarily sane man Will contend
that the necessities of one age should be-
come the inconvenience of the next. When
binding was done by hand the left hand cut
harvester was necessity. Ihe gram ieii on

livered into the receiver with its heads
towards the rear of the machine. The men
stood in the receiver facing the grain. With
the left hand machine the heads of the
grain are at the left hand of the man doing
the binding, so in taking out the bundle
turned to the front table or to the -
table he kept his position toward ~
bundle itself-that is, with the heads toward
his left hand; hence, in making the tuck he
showed the ends under the band toward the
heads. Grain is handled by the shocker by
