told that Ellerbc and Neal would do 1t:
Neal and CAN'T had conferences. and
the result was that Neal and Ellcrbc
and others put up $1,000 and got
Gantts interest in the paper and kept
CAN'T to edit it for them. And.

A bulletin on sugar beets just is

station gives much information as to
soil conditions, together with the ex-
periments at the college. The con-
illusions are:
1.-THE results secured in growing
sugar beets in this state, both In 81
and 1897, show that the conditions
for their growth in Michigan are full
Of promise. Even the results In
counties In the upper peninsula,
where promising results would not
be expected are surprising.
Large sections Of the lower PENN
sula show results far in advance
of the best beet sugar district
in France and Germany, and equal
to the best In our country"

letin have been published for distri-

The majority of Is in the Senate
on the Teller resolution was derived
from the Senators of nine states,
whose total population is SEQ, sos,
while the vote Of Ohio alone, whose
Senators opposed the resolution, is
nearly million. Another quiet as
significant a fact is that "a of these
votes came from the South. Down
there they revere Andrew Jackson,
yet he was bitter opponent of
money which would depreciate. His
opposition to bank issues was on that
ground.

The treasury gold fund keeps right
on growing, Notwithstanding the re-
ports sent out recently that it was
already so large as to be burdensome.
The 164, 900, 900 mark has just been
crossed In the upward movement,
making new record for the period
which has passed since the middle
of Harrison's administration. Not
since 1890 has this line been touched.
Although the treasury may be some
what embarrassed. or imagine that it
is, by the size OF this gold accumu-
lati0n, the fact that the gold is in
the governments hands and not in
safe deposit vaults shows financial
confidence in the situation through
out the country which is very graft
flying. Globe Democrat.

Col. Ingersoll lectured at TT. Worth,

Col. Ingersoll lectured at Fl. Worth,
Texas, on the 18th. inst, and in an
Interview, said: ITO my mind gold is
the standard. Mr.. Bryan, of course,
says Mexico is silver country, but
when he pays for his breakfast with
gold dollar he is handed a silver
one In return, because the gold one
is worth two OF the silver ones. So,
II the com modities are not measured
by the gold standard. why should he
be handed the silver dollar in return.
The overproduction OF silver has
made 1t more plentiful, and IL a solid
gold mountain should be discovered
1t would decrease the price of gold,
so that 1t would be secondary COM
modify. This saying that money sets
the price is all bosh."
ealso said something had happen
ed during the past few months that
had never before occurred, and that
loans amounting to $40, 900, 900 had
been made to England, and the bal
ance of trade was over 800, 900, 900
in our favor, that is, this country
exported that much more than it i'm
ported. ITO the unusual yield of
crops and tie activity in manufacture
ing circles, he said, Il attribute this.
This talk about legislation making
the monetary problem easy is not SO.
Congress can no more make a silver
dollar worth dollar that it can
make money OF buckwheat cakes"

We give below a local from the Re-

to the visit of the X. P. Dramatic
Company o. their city to our village.
Our Opera House may be devoid of
furniture and poorly heated at pres
emit, but it is the desire OF the man.
agement to furnish it in manner
to almost rival that of West Branch:
The X. of p. Dramatic Co. had a
very appreciative audience at the
presentation of their play, "Only a
Farmers Daughter" at Grayling,
last Thursday night. The new opera
house was well filled and those pres
emit seemed to thoroughly enjoy the
entertainment, giving liberal APP
plause. The company was somewhat
disappointed in the opera house. as
they had been led to believe it was
a model OF comfort and convenience,
whereas they found it poorly heated
and entirely barren Of furniture and
other necessaries for the proper pres
entation of a play. This drawback
was partly compensated for by the
tlne scenery and the large COM
modlous stage. The troupe is unan-
imous in saying they had well
come reception and cordial treatment
from every person with whom they
came in contact, and have only words
of praise for the Graylingites.

Our Washington correspc

Our Washington correspondent
says: president Mckinley and the
members eff his cabinet naturally de-
cline to discuss, for publication. the
letter written by Senior de LONE,
Spanish Minister to the U. s., in
which the President is insulted, au-
tonomy for Cuba referred to as merely
a trick, and the negotiations for a
reciprocity treaty only an excuse to
stave of intervention by the u, S. in
Cuba. The President will act
promptly, Notwithstanding the res
ignation, and If Spain does not ignore
that resignation and recall De LONE
his action will probably be the dis
missal in disgrace OF the Spanish
Minister. There is also a strong
probability that IL the Spanish Min
lister be given his passports, the
action will be followed by interven-
ton of this government in Cuba.
The publication of the De LONE let
ter has created more OF sensation
in Washington than anything that
has happened in connection with the
Cuban question. AS usual, the hot
heads in Congress wish to have con-
gress take hand in the business,
but level-headed men recognize the
ability of President Mckinley to
properly deal with the matter, and
are perfectly willing to leave it In his
hands. The matter could not have
occurred at worse time for the in
terest of Spain, as the resolutions and
speeches in the Senate by Senators
Cannon, of Utah, and Mason, of ILL.,,
and the proposed amendment to the
diplomatic and consular bill, by SEN
ator Allen, all looking to immediate
action by this government, either By
recognition of Cuban belligerency
or independence, or by Intervention,
had already brought Cuban matters
to a critical point in the Senate.
1t is creditable to the good sense
and craftsmanship of the members Of
the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations that they should have been
unmoved by the prevailing excited
condition in Washington, and have
acted upon the amendment to the
diplomatic and consular appropria-
ton bill, proposed by Senator Allen,
providing for recognition of the
belligerency of the Cubans, Just as
though there were no excitement.
The committee, by a unanimous vote,
decided to make an unfavorable re-
port upon the amendment, because
they did not believe appropriation
bills the proper vehicles for riders
bearing upon questions affecting our
foreign relations, q decision that will
be endorsed by large majority OF
our people. This action would have
been q good thing, no matter who
had proposed the amendment, but 1t
is a doubly good thing as rebuke to
Senator Allen, who did not offer the
resolution to help the Cubans, but
with the hope, that 1t might en-
barass the administration. The adj
ministration, and not individual
Senators or Representatives, is held
responsible for the foreign policy of
the government, and the President
who acted upon his personal sym
pathy. instead OF upon his calm
judgment OF what was best for the
welfare of the country, would not be
worthy Of his high ONCE.
