SIxTY-oNE men were kept busy serv-
ing the wines and mineral waters at
the Croker $40 dinner in New York
few days ago. They had nothing
else to do while the banquet lasted,
and this was fortunate, for their time
was fully employed in dispensing the
5000 quarts of champagne, and the
1900 quarts of other kinds of wine.
OF all this, it was affirmed at the
close of the banquet, not drop was
left. The 2,4OO quarts of mineral
water, however proved more than
ample.

THERE is new rival to the chamois
SKIN vests so long worn by women for
extra warmth. These new vests are
of paper. Those who have worn them
pronounce them less bulky, just as
warm and less expensive than the
chamois. They are so cheap, indeed,
that they can be thrown away and a
new one purchased without troubling
the conscience of the woman with only
a moderate purse.

Ingratitude.

The republicans believe that these
trusts are potent forces for evil. not SO
much that they will be able to control
necessities of life and advance prices
thereon, but they are mischief makers
in the busy world and are conceived
neither in honesty of purpose nor in
good judgment. They are rearing a
fabric that is liable to tumble.-Cedar
Rapids Republican.
In 1896 Mr.. Mcmillan, one of the pub
fishers of the Republican, was chairman
of the Iowa republican state committee
and in touch every day for months with
Mark Hanna. He knows that during
that memorable campaign the trusts
and kindred interests gave the republi-
can committees more money than they
were able to find ways to expend, and
that the result of the elections of that
year would quite likely have been diff
ferent were it not for the fact that the
trusts made desperate fight for their
lives against the democratic party.
Were it not for the alliance between the
trusts and the republican party in 1896,
Mr.. Mcmillan might not now be the
United States Attorney for the North
ern District of Iowa. Mr.. Mcmillan
may be guilty of ingratitude when he
says that the trusts are "potent forces
for evil, but he tells the truth.

All his life's work had been in different
lines of effort, and, while the kindness

grateful to him and the generous tri-

Sensible Talk About Money.

(From the Chicago Democrat)
In all the talk about TIE money ques-
tion there is just one thing which should
never be lost sight of. The people must
retain the function of creating money
and this right must not be handed over
to the men who want to grow richer by
controlling the currency of this..country.
There are many trusts in the United
States, but the greatest and most threat
ening of all is the money trust. The
function of expanding and contracting
the volume of the currency belongs to
the government and not to the individ-
ual.
In the hands of money trust the
manipulators of the currency can in
crease their wealth by contracting the
volume and increasing the purchasing
power OF the money they possess.
When there is any danger of war the
holders of wealth always withdraw their
money, and this is potent reason why
the currency should be kept under the
control of the government
Aside from this fact governmental
fanctions should not be placed in private
hands. The argument that the govern
ment should be taken out of the bank
ing business is simply plea to place a
money making power in the hands of
money sharks.
That vital function such as that of
controlling the currency pertains in its
very nature to the government cannot
be gainsaid. No folly could be greater,
no injustice more cruel than to place the
people of this nation at the mercy of
men whose only thought would be per-
s0nal gain.
Just at present the Sages Of lndianap-
oils and the moribund monetary com
mission are silent, but later on the shouts
for monetary "reform will be once
more raised and the attempt to place
the financial fate of this country in the
hands of the piratical money power viii
be revived.
