control the making of it.
The corporations do not buy the courts

The favor or the opposition Of the cor
porationS has come to be almost the sole
test Of the constitutionality of law.

All Of these proceedings in the Federal
courts are an attempt to do things that

To embrace the Jewish faith and re-

is something of task for woman, even
though it be undertaken for the man she
loves, yet this is what Miss Belknap,
whose father was once Secretary of War,
has undertaken. For over year there
has been a love match between Miss Bel

known and liked in diplomatic circles in
Washington. The marriage of the couple
was opposed by both families because
May is Hebrew and Miss Belknap, of
course, is a Christian. In order to cir

Ealing Gold Prices.

Senator Chandler has succeeded in
getting himself disliked by the advO-
Gates of gold because he is honest
enough to tell the truth.
In recent article given to the press
by the Senator he says: 1.-The fall in
silver will not lessen the present or
prospective woes from mOnometallism.
1t only points the moral of demonetiza-
tiOn. The gold price of silver falls, ard
so falls the prices of all the other COM
modities."
Such sentiments as these will call
down upon the Senator's head the
choicest invectives of the subsidized
press. All men who fail to worship the
golden calf are characterized as 'fools,
lunatics. knaves and regulators" by the
intellectual giants who write editorials
to prove that when a mar borrOws one
dollar he must pay back to the lender
two dollars in order to prove that he is
honest.
Nothing can be palmer to a man of
sense than the fact that two bushel
measure will hold twice as much as n
one bushel measure, and when the
measure which contains two bushels is
called bushel measure the price of the
commodity measured is cut in two.
When half of the worlds money was
destroyed the other half was doubled in
value, and it now requires twice as
much of any product Of labor TO secure
n dollar as was necessary before de-
mOnetization took place.
Wheat went down and down, keeping
pace with the fall in silver. until the
famine in India and the short crop in
Argentina and other foreign wheat-ras-
ing countries created demand so great
the price was forced up by competition
to obtain it. Under normal conditions
wheat would show no increase in price.
Create demand for silver by opening
the mints to unlimited coinage, and sill
yer will rise just as wheat has risen,
but, unlike the cereal, silver would re-
tain its price, because the demand
would be continuous and unlimited.

Loss and Gain to Farmers.

Loss and Gain to Farmers.
Providence has given the farmers of
| the United States an opportunity to sell
their wheat at a profit of some $2(dp, ,OOO,-
600. What has the gold party given
them?
Take the wheat crop alone for an eX-
| ample. Under the workings of bimetal-
/ lism, dollar wheat was the rule. but
since the demOnetZaliOn of silver 30
cent wheat has prevailed For fifteen
years the farmers hae been robbed an
nually Of $2OO,000,O00, making total
loss to the agriculturists of $4,000, ,OUO,-
000 This is what the gold party has
done for the farmers so far as wheat
is concerned.
1t is rot at all reasonable to suppose
that those who have titled the soil for
the last fifteen years only to find them
selves robbed and almost ruined by the
clique of gold will be fooled and cajoled
by the hypocritical cant of Republican
newspapers over the rise i'm the price of
wheat this year Three thousand mil
lion dollars of loss cannot be balanced
by two hundred million dollars of gain,
especially when the gain comes from
an act of Providence and the loss came
from an act of the Republican party. Do
the Republicans take the farmers for
unreasOning men, who cannot trace an
effect to its cause?
1t is good thing for the farmers that
1,n .pi..n Of
can reap what benefit the spectators in
grain have left them, and they can re-
fleet on what they have lost through the
demOnetizatiOn of silver. and they can
ponder Oh the fact that this loss is per-
manent and will continue so long as the
advocates of gold control the currency.

this morning The foreign consuls,
their STATS and the archives Of the
eonsulates remain aboard the for
eigu warships The Christian Gov
ernor Of Crete, Gerovitch Pasha, is
aboard a Russian man of-war and
the consul of Greece is on a Greek

The skirmishing around the town
between the Mussulmans and the
Christians continues necessarily
with little advantage on either side.
Every preeaution has been taken to
protect She Europeans Of all nations
who remain ashore.
The Mussulmans Of Halfa and the
Christians of that vicinity are also
skirmishing. The opinion prevails
here that the foreign fleets will
probably occupy Ganoa, Rctimo and
Heraklion today or tomorrow. The
admirals have been in constant COM
munication with the shore, and mes
sages Of Importance are known to
have been exchanged between them
and their home Governments. All
the FOREIGN fleets have heen rein
forced and more warships are ex-
pected here and off other towns of
the island today. The Greek fleet
has also been reinforced and Greek
troops are expected to reach here
today According to general report

nit them to land. The Mussulmans
are now practically confined to

They Have Solved the Aerial Problem
SAN Francesca, CAL Feb. H.
Leonard Z. Clausen and Adam Beck,
well=knoWn business men, believe
that they have solved the problem
of aerial navigation. They have
Just made application for patents.
and are at work now on The CON
struction Of an air ship or flying
machine, embodying the principles
they have studied out.
The machine consists essentially of
four rods, each 20 feet long, parallel
to each other, working on ball bear
ings in a well braced frame work,
Supporting the motive power and
steering apparatus below en- each
of these rods are a series OF double
wings, constructed CT a steel wire
frame work, over which silk is
stretched. These are so arranged
in relation to each other that when
one wing is rising ope1, the other is
descending closed, and also main
tains the balance OF the machine.
Thus hall The wings are at every
instant pressing upward. Should
the motive power fail for any reason
the entire wing surface instantly
forms a parachute.
A machine 20 fest long, and with q
bearing surface feet wide, it is be-
lieved, can be made to raise a weight
of GOO pounds, one occupant alone
supplying the motive power.
The machine now being built will
be in its mechanical construction
strictly up-to-date. The inventors
believe that in quantities such ma
chimes could be built for $500 apiece.

against the item OF $65, 900 for publ

Mr.. Galliger remarked that such
publications were clear pervcrsion
OF the funds intended for legitimate
agricultural literature. and, it was
q peryersion which should be re-
buked.
Mr.. Vest held up another bulletin of
the Agricultural Department, and in
tones Of intense sarcasm pointed ont

Try residence in Nebraska as an en-
Enlistment Of a publication on arbor

address of the Secretary delivered

Mr.. Chandler spoke Of another

was discussed and the Secretary had
attempted to show that law would
make up the difference between gold
and silver, and that the subordinate

Secretary ideas. Mr. Chandler said
such publications should not ema-
