Sam Cook, who has been selected as
Coin" Harvey's successor on the Ma
tional Democratic Ways and Means
committee, won his spurs some time
ago on account of ability to collect
campaign funds from the populace. If
he can overcome the influence OF the
icy palm encountered by the founder of
the financial school," Mr.. Cook will be
entitled to the champion girdle as
peerless persuader.

CLEAN TnE CITY.

The following timely suggestions
from the Mail Telegram for the
welfare of Fort Worth are so ap-
plieable to Ardmore at this time
that we reproduce the article in
full:
Many OF the streets and alleys
of this city are in a filthy and I'M
sanitary condition. The time of
year is at hand when cleanliness in
a city of this size is imperative,
would pestilential diseases be avoid
ed. Already the matter has been
neglected too long and numerous
deaths are the direct result. This
is not guesswork. The best
physicians say the great amount of
sickness prevailing in the city is
due to the dirty streets, alleys and
premises. The health department
should go promptly to work and
thoroughly clean every street, alley
and piece of public ground and
then as promptly compel every
citizen to keei their premises clean.
There was a visitation of yellow
fever in the South last year which
stagnated business for three or
four months; many believe that it
gained such a foothold that if it
has not been killed by the severe
winter, its ravages this year will
be greater than ever before. There
are cases of meningitis and
dyphtheria in the city caused di-
rectly by dirty streets and alleys.
AS the weather grows warmer,
these conditions will become worse
unless the necessary precautions
are taken to clean up. Every
good citizen owes it to himself, his
family and his neighbor to see that
his premises are kept clean, and if
he will not co it willingly the
authorities shot Id com lel him to
do it. The stree is and alleys are
the worst, howev,r, and the city
should clean them"

SUCCESSFUL PRESS OF TODAY.

For quite time, after printing
presses become so common in this
country, the churches stood aloft
from them. Religious news of all
kind was denied entrance to the
columns of the secular press.
But things have greatly changed
in the last four years. The secu-
lor press has become a very COM
mon as we'll as popular means of
communication with the outside
world and also medium through
which the church may keep up
correspondence within its own
ranks.
And since the press has so lib
orally rendered the use of its col
umns to pastors and churches for
their use in carrying on their work
it is very ungrateful preacher or
church that would speak despair
ingly or disrespectfully of the
secular press, because they may
have stumbled upon some dirty
sheet whose columns are filed with
slush and slop.
And since the secular press is
such an extensive means of com
munication, it is very unwise
preacher that would ignore the op-
portunity of using its columns.
Our motto is to use all the printer
ink that we POSSIBLY can to a good
advantage.
For this privilege we hereby
tender our thanks to our own home
papers, the ARDMOREITE and
Chronicle for their universal kind
ness and courtesy to the pastors
and churches in the city. Much
space is given by these papers to
the churches in the way of announce
ing and writing up all kinds of
special services. And every pas
tor in the city is cOmplimented with
both the dailies delivered at their
doors. j. S. WEAVER.

WHY COTTON IS CHEAP.

In discussing this question in
Farm and Ranch, Mr.. Bryan Ty-
son says:
Ever since the war the guam
tity Of cotton grown in the United
States has been on the increase,
while that in the residue of the
world has been on the decrease
AS a result, the United States now
produces about S5 per cent. of the
cotton of the world. Consequent
ly, if we would now adopt proper
measures for decreasing Che guam
tity grown in the United States,
we could raise the price of cotton
without materially. at least with
out detrimentally, increasing the
quantity grown in other coun-
tries.
Cotton planters, in order to get
out of debt, frequently plant more
cotton and work harder, but this
is not the plan; it generally brings
on old age about ten years too soon
and finds them still in debt a
better plan is to cultivate less and
procure a better profit.

Cost Of Government Per Hour.

An ingenious Englishman has figured
out the cost of an hour of government
since the beginning of the century. In
France the figures show an alarming
tendency to increase. Under Napoleon
an hour of government cost $4,000;
under Louis Philippe, 100000; under
the Second Republic, $4,000; under
Napoleon Ill, $4,000; from 1870 to
1880, $61, 1000, on account of the raising
of the average by the cost of the war
with Germany, but from 1880 TO 1890
the cost was $4,000 an hour. A
French paper remarks that this seems
to prove the undesirability of paying
n government by the hour or by the
day; payment by the piece, according
to the work done, is the only way, it
thinks.

FIoored by a Baby.

1t took place ON Third avenue the
other day. A young married woman
was wheeling baby carriage in which
her little daughter, 3 years Of age, was
seated. AS they approached Pitcher
street she noticed n rather fine looking
elderly man, who had been standing
there for some time. His gray hair
was slicked back carefully, his small
mustache was waxed to n needle point,
his flaring red tie was folded in the
most precise of knots, his tan gloves
were spotless and his Prince Albert
coat, his gray trousers and silk hat
We're of the very latest pattern, says
the Detroit Free Press.
He was Il gay old fellow. Several
ladies had passed on and he had tried
to tilrt with every one of them. AS the
married lady came along lie turned
with Quizzical smile and was evil
IDENTIFY about to speak. Just then little
Miss Three Year-Old saw him. Her
face lighted up, and with the prettiest
smile imaginable she looked up at him
and lisped:
"Whose dran-pa is oo?"
He turned quickly, crossed the street
and took the next car down town.

Tint Beef Inquiry.

When the court of inquiry to look into
the charges against the commissary de-
partment of the army was formed 1t
was confidently expected that facts
could be so manipulated as to result in
embarrassing Alger. Fortunately fbr
the soldiers and for the friends of the
soldiers this expectation has proved I'M
founded and the beef inquiry will re-
suit in vindication of Gen. Miles and
II condemnation of Secretary Alger.
Undoubtedly the Republican admins
tration will be vastly disappointed in
the results obtained and will do all it
can to break the force of the indict-
ment. but the people are familiar with
the facts and that familiarity will have
Its results when the campaign of 1900
Is on.
That much of the beef accepted by
the commissary department and fur
nished to the troops in Cuba and Porto
Rico was unfit to eat has been demon
strated by the evidence given before
the court of inquiry, and thus Alger
and Eagan have been condemned.
The Question now before the Repub-
lican administration is what to do
about 1t. Undoubtedly Alger should be
forced to resign. Eagan is beyond the

All Money Is soxereirn

All Money Is sovereign.
All money should stand on an equal
footing and be interchangeable at par,
and no Inconvenience will ever be ex-
perienced by the Government in sus-
tanning such custom if we have hon
est laws honestly enforced. The first
demand notes or "grpenbacks" issued
by the Government in 1S61-'62 kept
pace with the price of coin and never
deprecated in value, because they were
made receivable for all public dues, the
same as gold. They were not even
illegal tender" but they kept company
with gold through all the period of the
lowest depreciation of legal tender
greenbacks. In March, 1868. when de-
probation reached its average, gold
brought 1551a in legal tender notes, and
demand notes brought 1853. and this
practical parity between the two kinds
of money was sustained throughout.
Legal tender greenbacks deprecated
because, and only because, they were
by special act of Congress excluded
from payment of duties on imports and
interest on Government bonds and
notes. This act was forced through
Congress by the influence of the bond
holders and the agents of the Roths-
childs. 1t was savagely attacked in n
speech by Thaddeus Stevens, delivered
in the House of Representatives on the
goth of February, 1862. Among other
things, Mr.. Stevens said:
II have melancholy foreboding that
we are about to consummate a cunning
ly devised scheme, which will carry
great injury and loss to all classes of
people throughout this Union, except
one. 1t 1.-THE legal tender acO makes two
classes Of money-one for the banks
and brokers, and another for the peo-
pie. 1t discrimlnates between the rights
of different classes Of creditors, allow
ing the rich capitalist to demand gold
and compelling the ordinary lender of
money on individual security to receive
notes which the Government had pur-
posely deprecated. But now comes the
main clause. All classes of people shall
take these notes at par for every article
of trade OF contract, unless they have
money enough to buy United States
bonds, and then they shall be paid in
gold. Who are this favored class? The
banks and brokers and nobody else"
Even at that early date the Roths-
childs had their grip on the throat of
our Government, and they were strong
enough to force their measures
through Congress. AS result Of this
scoundrelism and national robbery. the
people of the United States paid, In
gross profits to the national banks, be-
tween 1866 and 1898, period of twen-
ty-seyen years, the almost fabulous
sum of $3,2G9,374,65O, or $408, 13S,576
more than the entire cost Of the civil
war; and they are still paying on the
same account, while the banks have
meanwhile doubled their holdings by
means of the gigantic crime Of '73.
When you read these things you will
understand why the Rothschilds want
redemption planks in the platforms Of
our great political parties.
