Philippine situation, Mr.. Bryan said:

our forefathers were only three mill
lions in number we were willing to
declare to the world that the people
were the only source of power; and
shall we seventy millions be ashamed
to admit that we believe in the doc
triue for which our fathers fought and
bled and died? Tell me that the ma
lions of Europe will laugh at US. say

THE grand Dewey parade to be held
Friday is not without it's infelicities.
We read that the precedence question
is almost heart-rending in its compli-
cations. An exchange says:
They are having lot of trouble in
New York concerning the proper place
in the Dewey parade for Schley and
Sampson. Various suggestions have
been made. Among them are the fol-
lowing: That Schley ride in carriage
in advance of Sampson; that Sampson
should be given a position in advance
of Schley; that Sampson and Schley
should ride in the same carriage, and
that Schley should ride with Dewey at
the head of the parade.
The REGISTER suggests as a make
peace that all the Admirals be placed
in the same conveyance, and as it
passes along every individual in the
multitude may cheer "for the one he
loves best" This will prevent heart
burnings. make everything lovely and
elevate the goose out of sight. How
disgustingly NAL apropos is all this
petty discussion of precedence and
other things! The men who taught
Spain the lesson she had long needed
and brought to completion the scab
she had been breeding on her nose for
a hundred years or more, live honored
in the hearts of their less pretentious
fellow-citizens, who are more honest in
their gratitude and more patriotic than
many a man who pays five dollars for
a seat in front of the Waldorf-Astoria
from which to view the passing show.
AS for precedence in the parade a
draped monument to the poor fellows
living beneath the sod on the shores OF
Manila bay should lead them all. How
many of the great, shouting multitude
will waste a thought upon them? Yet
Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his
friends"

THE former editor of the Plattsburg
Leader, John NJ. McMichael, charges
that Dockery is a Free Silver Demo
crat for revenue only. He says,
among many other things:
Let Dockery deny that he wrote in
1895 response, published in the Post
Dispatch, declaring his opposition to
the Pertle Springs Convention, then
being urged for the notorious and ex,
press purpose of arraying the demo
cratic party of the state on the side OF
oliver. Let his pipers get Dockery to
deny that when the Francis State Com
mittee had been forced to request the
county committees to meet and report
the sentiment of the majority of the
democrats of their respective counties
as to the advisability of calling the
Fertile Springs Convention, that Dock
ery's own Daviess county committee
refused to, and did not, meet or send
any expression from the county. Let
them get Dockery to deny that In the
presence of group of delegates, after
the Pertle Springs body had done lis
work, he stated that it had utterly
ruined the democratic party of the
state. Let it be denied by Dockery
that Governor Stone, Bland, Cockrell,
Vest, Stephens, Ball, Cochran, all the
silver leaders at the Pertle Springs
Convention, recognized Dockery as
belonging to the Dave Francis faction,
and an enemy of the silver cause; let
Congressman Benton. Champ Clark.
Cochran and all the other brave champ
ions testify as to this. Let Dockery,
or any of his defenders, ask il this in
effect and verify be true.
Will he deny that he told an Excel
sior Springs banker, and also Mays
vile banker, in 1896, that he was a
gold standard man, but he had to vote
for silver to keep his seat? VIII he

In Ecnadcr, one of the South Aneri.
can republics. the bark of a tree which
grows on the slopes of the Andes is
utilized for the making of blankets.
The blanket is over six feet long and
over five feet wide and is as soft and
pliable as though it We're made of fan
mel. 1t is about the thickness of a gocl
flannel blanket and can be rolled up and
put in a strap without hurting or iniur-
ing it.
This tree or bark blanket is merely a
strip of bark cut from a section of the
trunk of the blanket OF demajagua tree.
The Indians make a cutting around the
trunk to get it, and they prepare it BY
soaking it in water until it is soft. 1t
is then pounded so that the rough out
side can be stripped off and the inside
alone left. The inside is of fine fbers so
joined together by nature that it makes
a beautiful blanket, warm enough to
be used as a cover and soft enough for
a mattress.

homecoming of a Wyoming boy. It
shows how broad-minded. generous
men are developed in this western
country.
Nearly every one has heard Of ed.
Haggarty, the man who discovered the
now famous copper mine, the Rudefe-
ha: but perhaps few people ever made
his acquaintance. for he is a quiet, soft
spoken man, not given to pushing him
self forward. He was born in England,
about thirty-eight years ago. left that
country when but a boy, and, after
wandering almost all over the world,
became a sheepherder for George Fer
ris. When the news of the copper finds
in Battle Lake became known, he turn
ed ~prospector, M was lucky, and is
now part owner in a mine that will be
worth millions perhaps before another
year rolls by.
He left an old father and mother in
Cumberland, England, and a younger
brother also. A short time ago he re-
turned there on a visit to the old peo-
pie. From a letter written to his old
partner, Robert Deal, the Sun has
gathered a few interesting items for
it's readers. In it he says he found the
old folks living on a rented farm and a
Thousand dollars in debt. He paid off
the debt and relieved them of that mill
stone. which was fast pulling them
down with its weight. Then he placed
his younger brother in charge of the
farm, went to town and purchased a
nice, comfortable cottage for the old
people, installed them in it, and set
tied money enough on them to make
their days free from are from now on
until their paths shall end, as all paths
do end-in the open crave. Mr.. Hag-
gerty said he found himself a stranger
and a wonder because he was an Amer
lean. He knows but few and they are
shy Of him, looking upon him with an
indefinable kind OF distrust, because
he had come out from the wreat west,
OF which the people know next to moth
ing. He a y he is coming back soon,
as there is no place in all the world to
him like Carbon county, Wyoming. and
he expects to spend the rest of his days
here. He says he found a place
in all his wanderings that suited him
so well or where he was so prosperous.

HOW PROSPERITY AFFECTS THE
CURRENCY.

An impressive illustration Is now Civ
en- of the ways which business conf
dence affects the currency. There are
are complaints in the leading business
centers that the paper money Is not
adequate to meet the demand. These
complaints have at last become so per-
sistent that they have reached the
treasury department. 1t is not often
that such a condition exists save in a
panic like that which set in in 1898,
when money of all sorts, metallic and
paper. went into hiding.
The opposite conditions, of course,
prevails now. There is not only no rea-
son why anybody should lock up n
money which he has, but there is the
best possible sort sort of an inducement
why he should put every cent in circu-
lation which he can command. AS a
matter of fact the circulation has been
much larger recently than it ever was
before in the United States. Money is
not only growing in volume constantly,

ufation. The per capita circulation is
now up to the highest point ever touch
ed. 1t is going up every month. Yet
there are complaints that in one Of its
elements it is not adequate to the de
mand. There is not enough just now
of p money to fully meet the needs
Of This is the report from
the trade centers.
All this is an evidence of greater
business activity and financial conf
dence. There is apparently enough
money in circulation in the aggregate,
metallic and paper, to meet the de-
mands aver in this period Of unparal-
leled business expansion. but the paper
ingredient OF 1t is not quite large
enough. When there is any sort OF
doubt about the governments DISPOSE
ton or ability to convert all its money
into gold nobody wants to accept paper
or silver when he can get gold. In con-
dttions like the present, however, when
the gold standard Is certain to be MAIN
tanned, every other kind Of money Is
more desirable in business than gold,
but paper money Is in especial demand.
Thus it happens that at present there

The enormous increase in the num-
Der of letters carried in the United
States mails makes it certain hat the
rate of postage must eventually be re-
duced to one cent an ounce. The presi-
len who succeeds in getting such a
measure through congress will hold
a high place in the esteem of the peo-
pie, but no higher than the esteem in
