in many ways during the past two
years, and their gloomy forebodings as
to the woeful things that would happen
if the gold standard was sustained, has
disappeared in the sunshine of pros
peFity. And now comes mother bit Of
evidence tending to show that the COM
mon people, over whom they profess to
weep such bitter tears Of anguish for,
are not all in the hard lot they would
have had the public believe, as the fol-
lowing from the Boston Post shows:
The treasury department figures up
the deposits Of our people in savings
banks at an aggregate of nearly two
billion dollars. The exact figures are
ST .939, 1916, O35. This represents the saw
,ings of more than 100000 people. 1t
averages 1874 for every deposition.
'"This is remarkable showing. 1t is
an astounding testimony to the comfort
and economy of our people. One in
every fifteen of our population, count
ing infants and children, as well as men
and women, have something of their
earnings put by for rainy day. This
can be said of no other people on the
face of the earth. Nor in those other
countries in which the savings bank
system is well established is there any
thing like the large average of in
Ediyidual deposits.
I'm France and in Prussia there are
more depositors in savings banks than
in the United States, but the aggregate
amount thus deposited is less than one
third as great. In fact, the United
States stands fairly at the head in this
great test of popular well being. And
it is matter of congratulation that
Massachusetts leads. with the single ex-
ception of the state of New York, in
this country"

cradle curiosity as to what this sud-
den move means, but it is said that it
has been brought about by the action
of Germany, which is claimed to have
designs upon one or more of the
islands, IL is said that during the
summer the German government has
caused an investigation into the coal
deposits on the island of Cuba,
and a fine quality of Ignite
coal is said to have been found there
in large deposits, making the island a
most valuable one to possess, from a
naval or any other point of view.
President Mckinley has not disclosed
his plan respecting the islands out
side Of LuZon, but he reserves the
right to dispose Of the remainder Of
the group as is deemed best. While
Germany may want possession of one
of the Philippines islands very badly,
and one OF them would doubtless
prove most valuable to her in her op-
erations in the orient, get it is ex-
tremely doubtful that she would risk
the chances of trouble with the Uni
ted States to get possession of one of
them.

HIS CASE NOT PROVED.

Congressman Bailey, of Texas, has
been working off pieces Of misinfor.
nation down in Virginia, and in
speaking of thefvote of the Democrat
ic minority against the war revenue:
bill, says it is the only vote of the mi
nority that could possibly have been
justly criticised, and that time has
justified, and says the opposition was
based largely on the bond issue provis-
ion, which was unnecessary, and in
his attempt to prove this remarked:
when congress convenes in Decem-
Der next it will find that the SURPLUS
in the treasury, above the one hun.
dred million gold reserve, will exceed
the amount received from the sale of
bonds. thus demonstrating that there
was no necessity for the government
to sell bonds" yaz
If the foresight of man was always
as good as his hindsight, there are
many things that would be done a
great deal differently than they are
now. Congressman Bailey nor no 9TH
er man could positively tell at the
time the war revenue bill was under
consideration. whether the war with
Spain would close in a month or drag
along for six or seven months. Things
might have turned out far differently
than they have and all the money
needed. Aud 1T may be needed yet.
Mr.. Bailey has not been able, with all
the logic he supposes himself to be
possessed, IT, show that the surplus in
the treasury is bad thing. There
will be many expenses yet before ev1
er, thing growing out Of the war is
s.ttled, andgif they do not take all of
the money at Uncle Sans hands, the
remainder can be used In paying off
some of his, Indebtedness as was the
case under similar circumstances dur.
Ing the ADMINISTRATION of President
Harrison. But Mr.. Bailey will be
Obliged 10 admit, if he is fair, that
the administration has handled the
finances OF the nation in most admir-
able shape to restore public conf
dence, prosecute war, pay the ex,
penses as incurred, and have sum
equal to the proceeds Of the bond sale
in the treasury, larg, portion Of
which j. gold, an article which the
silver advocates informed US two
years ago always disappeared from
sight during war, all inside OF two
years.
Taxing everything into considerar
ito Mr., Bailey has hardly proved his
case that the vote Of Democracy In
congress against the war revenue bill
has been justified by the course Of
events. "a

The Martin County Sentinel re
marks that if Mr.. Evans is elected to
congress from this district he will rep
resent the farmer instead of the Wall
street gold bug. The Pop is always
filled with the idea that one of his
class only represents the farmer, while
the Republican, he thinks, represents
merely the Wall street gold Dug.
Wherein Mr.. Evans would be more
faithful representative of the farmer
than Mr.. McCleary has been, it would
doubtless bother the Sentinel very
much to point out. Mr.. McClearY has
at all times been very watchful of the
interests of the people of the district,
whether they relate to the
farmer. laborer or business 6man,
and has left nothing undone,
that could be done for their
benefit. When the policies of the
parties. the two gentlemen represent
are taken into consideration, that of
the Republican party is much more
favorable in every way to the farmer,
than is that of the Pop Democratic,
and 1T stands to reason that man
who stands in favor of that policy can
do more in their interest thansone
who does not. As to the cry Of being
a representative of the gold bug, that
is an old political hack phrase that
hast lost it's strength.

BADLY DAMAGED.
That is the Condition of the Wheat Crop
in the Red River Valley.

A gentlemen who has travelled
through the Red River Valley during
past week or two said to Free Press
representative today:
Thousands and thousands Of acres
of wheat still in the shock; that is the
condition of the wheat crop in the
Red River Valley today. Harvesting
was hardly finished when the rainy,
damp weather came on, and for three
weeks there was no drying weather.
Now the weather is fine and stacking
and threshing are in full blast. While
the wheat is not spoiled it is colored
by the wet, and as one of the leading
business men Of, Crookston remarked
to me: II the weather continues fine for
six weeks the damage already done is
a vast sum when figured on the whole
crop for this section, as the wheat is
all damaged to the extent of from five
to ten cents per busheI.
II believe the farmer Of Southern
Minnesota can safely count on this
damage appearing as factor in the
wheat market, to partially counteract
the depressing effect of the immense
crop of the Red river Valley.

GOOD WOMAN GONE.
An Accident Occurring Three Weeks Ago
Results in a Death.

Mrs. Thomas Hughes died at her
home at No. 204 Shaubut street at
1890 O'Clock Monday. Three weeks

and broke her left wrist. The frac-
ture was reduced and healed nicely,
but the bruises and shock received to
her system by Mrs. Hughes was too
much for one of her advanced age,
and she gradually sank until death re-
leased her of her sufferings.
Mrs. Hughes was we'll known over
the county, and was very highly re-
spected. She was an active member
of the Welsh G M. church, and all
who enjoyed her acquaintance will
drop tears of sorrow at her death.
The deceased was born at Arglisay,
Wales, and was eighty-one years Of
aye last month. She was married to
Mr.. Hughes fifty years ago, and re-
turned with him TO America, settling
in Wisconsin. In 1861, they moved to
Judson, this county, and have resided
in Blue Earth county ever since. She
is survived by her.husband and three
daughters, the latter being Mrs. John
W. Roberts, of Judson, Mrs. John D.
Owens. OF Tracy. and Mrs. VIM. D.
Owens, of Mankato. The late VIM.
R. Hughes, who died of cancer three
years ago, was her only son, and after
his death her grief was so-great that
she did not seem the same until after
her recent accident. She also leaves
two brothers and one sister, Rev. VIM.
Roberts and Rev. John w. Roberts,
of Judson, and Mrs. Eliz lbeth Jones,
OF Wisconsin. VINO made handsome

The funeral occurred from the res.
