INSTRUCTIVE BONDS.

INSTRUCTIVE BONDS.
Duluth Tribune: In the sub.
scriptions to the new government
loan the New York Tribune dis.
Germs one meaning that is worth
considering. Any man who holds
a government bond wants to have
it paid, principal and interest, in
gold or the equivalent Of the
money he lends. There is nothing
extortionate or sharkish in that
desire. It is straight and plain
business. Every man who holds
such bond realizes that it is pure
business and nothing else. He
knows that any other kind Of pay.
ment, whether in notfs at one
cent discount or in silver at 50
cents discount, would be dishonest
for the government and for him a
robbery. So much that man
knows, and all the PHILOSOPHERS
and theories of Bryan or any other
demagogue will not drive that out
of his head. He becomes, by the
virtue of practical experience, a
defender of the honor and credit
of the government.
Upon these truths the Tribune
erects the argument that it is an
extremely important thing for this
government to have as many men
as possible thus educated by prac.
tical knowledge in the essential
conditions of national solvency.
If we can get a million Of them,
through the issue Of these new
bonds, so enlightened by their
own or their friends interest that
they cannot help seeing how pub.
lie dishonesty means robbery Of
the individual who trusts the gov.
erument, that will be a gain worth
the whole Of the 5000, 900, 900 Dor.
rowed. This nation can borrow
money anywhere and in almost any
amount. 1t eau educate its citi.
zens in one way only, by giving
them personal share and interest
in the honor and good faith Of the
nation. u NJ
Hence the wisest and best feet
ure of the whole war revenue bin,
over which both houses of con.
gress worked for months, was this
one which made it compulsory for
officials of the government to give
the preference to the small invest.
or. That means the education of
thousands, many Of whom need it,
instead of hundreds or scores of
bankers and other large capitalists
who need no such enlightenment.
When a man once gets into his
head the idea that government
must be regarded as thief if it
robs its creditor he will 80 out and
stay out Of the Populist camp and
the silver camp for all time to
come. Nor cali any other thing
be more important for the country
than this education of the people.
Silver idolatry has made parts Of
several great states, settled by de-.
cent and patriotic citizens, as
hostile to the true interests of the
nation as if they were settled by
Spaniards exclusively. 1t will be
a remarkably good thing to con.
vert these people TO conceptions
Of American good faith and integ.
rity.

SPANISH COINS DUG UP.
Hidden Treasure Uncovered by Ne
 groes from a Florida Casa.

Hidden Treasure Uncovered by Ne.
 groes from a Florida Casa.
 Some negroes engaged recently in re moving the coquina walls of an old Spanish casa that had been demolished to make room for a modern structure found few Spanish doubloons in a lIt- tie niche that had been cut into the wall. The date on one of the coins showed it to be 160 years old. It Is sup- posed that the coins were placed :n the wall during the Seminole Indian war of half century ago. Every man was his own banker in those days, and they hid their gold in the walls, chimneys, under the houses; those who believed that ghosts would keep bad people away hid their gold in the graveyard. Periodically there is a revival of gold hunting, many of the early settlers be- lieving that the old town is rich in gold deposits, and whenever an old building is to be torn down many volunteer to work for just what they can find" Within the past few years several sums of gold have been dug up on Anastasla Island, opposite this city, by fishermen. This led to organized parties, whose prospecting was guided by visions from clairvoyants, who can discover for tunes for others, but not for themselves.
 That there is a great deal of hidden treasure in Florida there can be little doubt, but the secret of the hiding place died with the Spaniards who were killed by the ferocious Seminoles and the pirates who infested this coast in earlier times.
 The crews of wrecked vessels buried their money along the coast and were either killed by the hostile Indians or fled for their lives. In either event the treasure remained buried and its loca- tion forgotten or the sailors never re. turned.
 The stories of hidden treasure on the coast of Florida and in this ancient city are not myths based upon stories of early Spanish residents, as many luck finds will testify. An exploring party, under the guise of tourists, recently took trip down the coast, touching at the various islands and putting in al inlets, ostensibly fishing and hunting. While this is part of the program, they are out more for profit than for pleas ure.-St. Augustine (Fla.) Cor.

The King of the Woods.

Very few persons ever visit the Southern portion of the United States and become at all familiar with its woodland life without being captivated by that prince of singers, the moekins bird. Not only as musician, but in general "smartness," he is far and away ahead of anything else that flies. He is the Yankee" among birds. In vivacity, in cleverness, in quick and dexterous use of his small but brilliant brain, 1t would be hard to point out his equal. And when in the spring time the woods resound with his clear, flute-like and exultant notes, even the man, if such there be, "who hath no music in his soup would find 1t hard to resist the contagious good humor of his glad and gleeful song.
 And yet the mocking bird is incor- rectly named. He is by no means a natural mimic. Half a dozen birds could be mentioned that in this particu- lar far surpass him. This may seem a very strange thing to say, in view of the stories current so abundantly illustrating and emphasizing this sup posed gift.-Popular Science Monthly.

the Philippines, with the possible ex' ceptiOn of Manila, where the presence of few English, German and Ameri' can residents, give some signs of civili' zatiOn, the people are in the same prim' itive condition now as when they came under Spanish sway three centuries ago. Nothing whatever has been done to develop the vast revenues of the isl ands or to educate and civiliZe the peo' pIe. All the means of public instruc- ton are in the hands of religious so- cieties, which use every effort to keer the natives in ignorance, that they may be the more easily dominated and oppressed. The people are robbed that none may accumulate property enough to send their children away to be edu- cated. It is through the few that have been sent abroad that the late revolu- tions have been encouraged, and the natives made to realize the tyranny and despotism of Spain.

A Kangaroo Colony Near London.

If we were to break suddenly upon 8 London cyclist and tell him that with in 20 miles of his great city there was a colony of wild kangaroos. he would probably either regard us as perverters of the truth or of being in immediate need of straitjacket. Yet we are as- sured on the highest authority that such is the case. the colony existing on Leith Hill common. About IA years ago some kangaroos escaped from Wootton House, where they had been kept in confne- ment. They took up their quarters near Leith hill and have remained and null tiplied there ever since. It seems strange that such emblems of the far west should exist in wild state where the great throb of London might almost be felt and where the hum of the wheel during the summer months is almost an unceasing song.

Blood Will Tell,

A man under the influence of liquor was riding in a crowded street car.
 An old woman, with bundle, came in and as no one surrendered & seat to her 1t appealed to his gentlemanly in. stincts. Being too drunk to stand up with ease he politely stated the fact to a man sitting by his side and requested him to give the old woman a seat-but was roughly repulsed.
 The drunken man then struggled to his feet and politely requested the wo- man to be seated. Hanging onto the straps he leaned over the man, "who had rights which he intended to main. tain," and said to him: "I am drunk I know 1t, but expect to get over itl but you are a hog and don't know 1t and I don't believe you will ever get over that condition"

The Koreans are exhibiting the wild est delight over the announcement that their king Is about to marry. This act on his part means more to those peo-
 ple than is commonly supposed by such as are ignorant of some of the
 curious customs of that people. The
 king takes precedence in all matri-
 monial affairs, for so long as the king is single no marriage may take place In his domains among his subjects. All good Koreans, therefore, who obey the letter of the law religiously and patri- otically postpone their weddings until the king has taken a spouse unto him. self. Among the common people this law is not strictly obeyed, but among the nobility and the better class of people no one would think of marry ing before the king, as such violation of the law would cause the offender to lose caste. But marriages are arranged in Korea without reference to the par ties to it, and failing in love" is a thing of which a Korean Is never guilty. Since the murder of the queen, some two years or more ago, none of the members of good families have married, and the people, more than a year since, became so impatient for the king to wed that they expressed their discontent openly. The kings ad- visers made known to him the dissatis- faction among his subjects, and he be- gan the work of hunting up a wife. Although he is over 60 years of age his choice was the daughter of a noble man who had not reached her sixteenth year. His ministers objected to the king making that kind of fool of him. self, since 1t is against the time-honored customs of the empire for the king to take a wife so many years his junior. The advice of the ministers prevailed. but while the king abandoned the maiden he could not be induced to look with favor upon any of the others whom his advisers presented for his selection. This set the people again in a rage, and finally the king delegated to his advisers the power of selecting a wife for him without his interfer- ence. This selection has been made, and the future queen of Korea is re- ported to be very handsome, according to Asiatic ideas of beauty, and about 30 year of age.
