The territory Of the United States
has been a growth. The largest tract
Of all is the original United States as
constituted in 1883. It extends from
the Atlantic ocean to the Mississippi
river. Then comes the first great ac-
QUESTION, the province Of Louisiana,
ceaed by France in 1905 then the pen
insula Of Florida, coded by Spain in
1919. Texas was annexed in 1875.
There is an historical connection be
tween that annexation and the enor-
nous eession made by Mexico and In
GLIDING California II 1878. Then the
Gsdsden purchase in 1858, and last is

The present efforts Of the American
commissioners are devoted to an en-

Britain to reopen the Indian minis.
The silver advocates are confident the
reopening of the Indian minis would
advance the price of the white metal

A weii-knoWn Louisville woman was il,
and her physician pronounced her in q
critical condition. Among the sympathetic
nelgbbors was a pretty widow who was
lavish in her expressions Of sympathy for
the husband and children. And it came to
pass that she began to sympathize with
them TO such an extent that she spent most
OF her time at the house. When the wife
was thought TO be sinking and the family
were beginning to fear the worst, the
widow, walked up to the husband and said:
An, how l pity you, MIR. -, and these
dear children. 1t will be awful if they are
to be reared up without mother TO care
Tor them" at this injunction the wife,
with a mighty effort, raised up in her bed
with the words; ooh, you needn't be wor-
RED; am not going to die. No, will not
die, and l can get along very well without
your assistance in the future" From that
time the woman rallied, and is now hale
and hearty.-LOuisYille Dispatch.

A Discrepancy Single Standard Or

Why do bank clearances, as a rule,
show decreases over last year? Why
is the volume Of transactions in the
steel and iron trade so small, and prices
for everything on the metal schedules
so low?
These questions are important in
view Of the actual presence of the CON
ditions which the country was told last
year was necessary to prosperity. Ac-
cording to the average gold standard
organ, these conditions have been here
for some time. but in a recent issue of
the Pittsburgh Gazette, their presence
is asserted in these strong words;

cial system is on a solid basis once more.

Justice William J. Gaynor. Of Brook
Tyr, in a letter to the New York Bimetal-
lie association, discusses the campaign
Of 1896, and tbe outlook for the future.
Ihe bitterness OF last fail, p he writes,
grew ont Of a misunderstanding, and is
fast disappearing. It seemed strange
to find such bitterness here, when there
was not even a trace of i'll feeling IN
Europe on the subject. the Chicago
platform, instead Of declaring for the
free coinage Of gold and silver (Which
is bimetaliism, or the joint standard),
only declared for the free coinage of
silver. This was understood to have
been a hasty inadVeTtenee, but it no
doubt caused some Of the misunder-
standing. A declaration for bimetal-
ism, with one metal left ont was well
fitted 70 be used to alarm and deceive,
and it was made the most of for that
purpose. But honest men are returning
to an honest understanding Of one an
other
aThere should be 20 pride Of opinion
on this subject. If there be gold enough
in the world to supply the amount Of
redemption money necessary to do the
business of the world, and to bring all
nations to a gold basis, and in thatway
restore the par Of international ex-
changes, then let Us make permanent
the experiment with the single gold
standard.
SIT, OF the other hand, the expert
ment has gone, or goes, far enough to
demonstrate that there is not gold
enough to 60 around, then let it be
brought to an end. Which has already
Dr. will turn out to be the case? No
one can approach the subject without
anxiety and difidence, if he has studied
it at all, for even after a correct scien-
tifcand economic conclusion is reached,
the practical application Of it has to be
brought about with an eye to the rights
and interests Of everyone.
1.-THE phenomenon we are now wit
Messing of gold shipments from this
country to Europe, without the eX-
changes having reached a special point,
must make every honest and thoughtful
student of the money question pause,
and none more seriously than the advo-
Yates of the single gold standard,
at would seem well for an assoeia-
ton like yours to be careful to inquire
into the cause Of the lack of money in
large portions Of this country. There
are many counties in the west and
south, rich in products, where it would
be very difficult, if not impossible, to
change a $50 bill. The people there are
almost literally without money, We
can scarcely understand such a condi-
ton here in the east. Most people deem
it incredible. Is this lack of money due
to an insufficient volume Of domestic
currency, or, on the contrary, is it due
to lack Of circulation of our currency?
SIT must not be lost sight of that lack
of currency and lack of circulation may
be entirely distinct and independent;
that, in fact, an ample volume of cur
renoy and a disastrous lack of circula.
ton may exist together. A considera-
ton of this latter condition would lead
at once TO the question Of whether the
banking system is not grossly made

DF. L, A. Berger, of Kansas City, NO.,
Killed by John sChIegeI.
KANSAS CITY, No, July 9.-Dr, L. A.
Berger, onepf the most prominent and
popular physicians of this city, was
shot yesterday afternoon by John
schlegel, a grocer at 921 East Eight
zenith street. He lived only Is min
utes and was conscious but a few mo
ments-just long enough to learn that
he was mOrtally wounded. The shoot
ing occurred atthe busiest hour of the
afternoon, just before four o'clock, and
in the public street at one Of the most
crowded corners, Twelfth and Walnut
streets The cause was jealousy on the
part Of Schlegel-apParently an insane
jealousy built upon fabric of the
imagination. Schlegel says that he
killed DR.. Berger because the latter
committed rape upon Mrs. SchlegeI
last November. He did not kill him
sooner, he says, because he wanted to
make inquiries and find if he would be
justified in taking the doctors life.
The story of a criminal assault upon
Mrs. Sehlegel is discredited by friends
of the dead man.

A Chicago Grocer Nearly Frozen In Seeking

CHICAGO, July 12.-With the temper
ature almost at a freezing point II. B.
Veerhusen, a grocer and butcher at
Harvey, was imprisoned in an ice chest
for almost an hour yesterday morning.
When an employe finally rescued
him he was so severely affected by the
cold that he was unable to walk He
was carried to his home, where he is
now confined in bed and is under the
care Of a physician, but is not in a
serious condition. When Veerhusen
went to his store on Columbia avenue
at five o'clock yesterday morning he
felt so affected by the heat staggered
back to the ice chest. and throwing
the large dog open plunged into an at
mOsphere of refreshing GOODNESS.
When he had been in the chest a short
while he discovered that the cool air
was fast being absorbed by the warm
gusts Of wind coming in through the
open door. This he remediea by
pulling the door shut, but he
closed It with too much force and
the spring lock on the outside of the
door became fast, leaving him a pris-
oner All efforts to attract attention
was unavailing and, after battling sew
eral minutes to keep himself warm, he
sank to the floor exhausted.

the New York Tribune. A large body
Of Crow Indians had gathered, all
Ssecled out IN their best fnery. Two
elderly men retired a short distance
and seemed to be mumbiing to each
ether something like prayers OF invoca-
tionss after some time a FIRE was made
on the bank Of the stream, when the
two rain-makers gave an order and a
young man plunged into the river,
which was there very deep. When be
oaras up, he had blue catfish IN his
sasnd, which one OF the old men took
and threw into the fire, the tribe look
ing On IN perfect silence. Then there
syas more mumblng, accompanied by
various contortiOns and gesticulations,
when the gathering dispersed. Itrained
that night. Perhaps, on the whole, the
Indian rain-maker is more generally
successful than the civilized one oeca-
sionally appearing on the frontier in
times Of drought, the former having a
shrewdeT and more experienced fore
cast Of weather probabilities and put
