Paper money is not sound be-
cause it does not bear interest; pa
per bonds are sound because they
bear interest. An abundance of
money is not honest. because then
the wealth producer receives a
large per cent. of his earnings, but
a scarcity of money is honest, be-
cause then the man who lives from
the interest of a fixed income can
absorb more of the products of
labor. Soundness and honesty.
then, are relative terms. and apply
only to the welfare of the man
who lives upon usury.
Mr.. Chairman, sometimes
think that among men there is but
one crime, and that is ignorance.
Ignorance of physical and natural
law entails suffering, disease and
physical death; ignorance of moral
law brings disobedience and moral
blight; ignorance of financial and
economic law permits social vam-

Hong Korg kilograms indicate
that the affair between the Ameri-
can vessels and the German war
ship Irene in Subig bay was more
serious than was first reported. but
that Admiral Dewey, knowing the
temper of his countrymen, sup
pressed part of the news to pre-
vent complications between this
country and Germany. Such re-
port is scarcely credible. Admiral
Dewey is not the kind of man to
care for complications. He would
fight Germany as readily as Spain,
if there were cause for it. He will
not tolerate the slightest interfer-
ence with our own affairs by Ger
many or any other nation. And
it is safe to say that there is moth,
ing in the Irene incident which
was suppressed.

Idenrified the Goods.

Mrs. Eddie Deity. of Wheeling,
arrived here last night to examine
the goods recovered from a shanty-
boat by Marshal Foglesong and
Constable Monroe, and mentioned
in another article in this paper.
She fully identified them as her
property. paid the reward to the
officers, and shipped her goods
back home to Wheeling. She had
no desire to hunt up and prosecute
the thieves, as it would entail upon
her endless trouble and annoyance.

a very good nan, and will keep Fearce

everybody knows Leslie Pearce as a
quiet, gentlemanly fellow, and they
know in a general way tEat he is the
hero Of many ring battles, having met
and defeated some of the best men in
the business 1t is also generally
recognized that there are few boxers
who have wider or better knowledge
of the game. As to his boxing ability,
Wheeling patrons of the sport have
not had an opportunity to judge, except
of his work in preliminary to one of
the contests before the NJ. A. c., when
he proved himself so much the super
ior of Wango that there has ever since
