A Singular difference,

There is singular difference be-
tween the United States and the lead
ing countries of Europe in the popular
use Of gold as money. In Great Britain
the gold coinage consists almost en-
tirely of sovereigns and half sover-
eigns; in France of 20 and ten franc
pieces, and in Germany of ten-mark
pieces. All these coins are worth less
than five dollars and are in general cir
culation. In this country two-thirds
of the gold handled at the minis is
coined into $50 pieces. The value Of
the quarter eagles coined in 1898 was
only $Go,412. In a sanitary sense the
currency of Europe is decidedly ahead
of ours.

1t is unfortunate that our Thir-
teen Minnesota, composed of as
gallant men as ever responded to a
call for volunteers, have been forced
into such a false and unenviable
light by friends of individual mem
bers, and by men high il official
position. 1t has been rumored
abroad that the boys are all crazy
to get out of service and return
home. Gov. Lind made an Of
fetal demand for their return,
which called attention to the regi-
ment throughout the nation, and
called out any number of sneering
and derogatory comments. The
facts are that the regiment as
whole has no desire to return so
long as its services are required.
1t is very natural that letters writ
ten from far-off country to friends
at home should express desire to
see home and friends. That is
natural, and what everyone who
has been away from a good home
for any length of time usually
writes. But to make it appear
that the regiment is anxious to be
mustered out when its services are
needed is libel upon the organi-
cation.
