CHEAP MONEY is DEAR MONEY.
The labor commissioners in his
report says that in Ingram
county. this state, the average
rate Of interest upon the mort
cages discharged during the
year was Il per cent while the
average rate of the mortgages
filed is but GA per cent. How
do our free silver friends view
these facts. Last year they
were telling us that money is
getting scarcer and dearer and
that we must have free coinage
of silver to make il more plenti
ful and cheaper. We are fur.
Their from free coinage today
than we were when the mort.
cages referred to were made and
yet money is actually cheaper.
The dearest money in the world
is cheap or fiat money as a per
son loaning is taking gam
bler's chance Of getting his
money back and consequently
must ask exhorbitant rates IN
order to cover his losses, Just as
a grocer in a town whore there
are number of bad custmers
must charge more for his wares
in order to make up for his bac
debts. Under sound money the
loaner talSer 40 chances and car
afford TO loan at a less rate. The
cheapest money in the world i:
good money.

county and township officials.
The instance which we cited,
that of the neglect of the treas.

ATKINsoN IN TROUBLE.

Our friend, Claude M. Atkin-

MINI. where he is editor of The
Republican. The trouble is one
that is no stranger 10 newspaper
men. Simply a libel suit and
nothing more. The complain
ant is one Judge DeVore, of
Duluth, who claims to have been
grossly injured by one of
Claude's hot write-ups of an
alleged mix-up that his Honor
had with a Chinaman. Com
menting editorially upon the
troubles that enveloped his
sanctum so completely last week
that the regular edition was
unable TO issue therefrom, Mr..
Atkinson says:

Denver. May 17.-Amid great cheer
ing and no few tears the First reg-
ment of infantry. Colorado Volunteers.
left Denver yesterday afternoon for
San Francisco en- route to the Philip
pine Islands for service in Subdueing
the islands.
The men presented fine appearance
ns they marched from camp to the de-
pot, and their military bearing was
commented upon.
The farewell given by the people of
Denver did in Il large measure atone
for the lukewarm attitude they have
evinccd the few times the volunteers
have been on the streets. There was
real genuine enthusiasm manifested
from the time the regiment entered the
city until the last train division steam
ed out of the depot.
At the depot many thousands of peO-
pie gathered to say hail and farewell
to the volunteers. The depot was
thrown open to the public and the men
received such encouragement and such
fond adieus that the sweet sorrow"
should rccompense them for some of
the hardshps they will have to endure
before their work is ut an end.
That the soldiers We're volunteers
could be readily understood from the
people who We're at the depot. The
governor and his wife, the society cult,
the business man, and the profess
sional man greeted the soldiers and
badc them golspeed. Often the tears
We're wiped away with lace hand

The largest multitude of people that
has ever gathered at the depot was
present to see the soldiers depart, and
the cheering was tremendous.
Although the society division sue
ceedcd very well in hiding Its grief. as
is Its wont. and rcfraincd from max
ing display In public, there were
some exceptions.
The swecthearts and mothers and
sisters of the ten hundred had no such

DISPATCH FROM DEWEY.
Sets Mt Rest Several Uncomfortable Re
rOrfs.


Washington, May 15.-Thc dispatch
es from Hong Kong brought welcome
news to-day from Admiral Dewey to
the President, and particularly to Sec
retary Long and the naval officers
who are watching the admirars move
ments with much interest. While no
apprehension existed as to his security
nevertheless reinsurance of safety IL
always pleasant. The kilograms indi-
cate that Dewey has lost none OF the
prestige gained In his memorable fight
Of two weeks ago. and that while he
refrains from taking the city of Manila
he has 1t practically at his mercy. The
admiral expresses the belief that the
rebels nre hemming In the city by
land, but the fact that he says explic-
itely that they have made no demon
stratlon seems to disprove thoroughly
the published reports that they had III
ready entered Manila and had begun
q career OF bloodsled and rapine.
The dispatch ns given out by Sec
retary Long Is as follows:
Cavlte, May 13.-Hong Kong, May 10.
-Malntaining strict blockade. Reason
to believe that the rebels are hemming
In the city by land but have made no
demonstration. Scarcity provisions In
Manila. Probable that the Spanish
governor will be compelled to surren-
der soon. Can take Manila Mt any mo-
ment. Climate hot and moist. On

"At present there is deal Of dissen-
sion among the rebel factions, some Of
which are negotiating with the Ameri-
cans and others with the Spaninrds.
Whether Aguinaldo possesses enough
influence to reconcile these differences
and to induce the insurgents to pursue
n common policy is questionable. Ad-
mlral Dewey is well advised In waiting
for reinforcements, since the fall OF
Manila would produce anarchy
throughout the islands. The English

ministration.

NEWSPAPERS WARNED.
Will Not BE Allowed to Make Mention OF
Future Expeditions to Cuba.

Tampa, Fla. May 17.-Every news
paper correspondent at Tampa mas
been officially notified that in future
no Elention must be made of any
small expedition similar to that of the
Gussie last week. until the success OF
the expedition has been assured by
the return of the boat. Army officers
are much chagrined over the failure
to place the sorely-needed arms, am
munition and supplies with which the
Gussic was stored. in the hands of the
insurgents. They believe that, had
not such wide publicity been given the
affair. the chances for success would
have been much greater 1t had been
arranged by Captain Dorst that the
insurgents should meet the expedition
and take care of the supplies, but the
fnct that the news of the cOntcm-
plated departure of the Gussic was
published almost twelve hours before
the hour fixed for leaving was un-
doubtedly communicated to General
Blanco Mt once and enabled him to es-
tablish IN effective patrol of the coast.
The correspondents have also been no.
tilted that the paper publishing and
such stories before it is permissible
to do so will be debarred from sending
any representative into Cuba. The
intention is to hereafter keep Il close
watch on news sent out regarding
movements of troops or ships from
Tampa and to- cndenvor to follow out
the policy of the government in keep
ing from the Spanish government any
news whatever that would help them
to frustrate any plans for such move
