When the "Jacksonian Demo-
Gratis" first came before the people
they declared that they were not or
gained to fight anybody; had no
candidate, and only wanted to purify
politics and aid the people in the en-
joyment of their rights; all this to
be done within regular party organi-
cation. But what have they done
since? Gone in to fight the Demo-
cratic party and everything else that
means Democracy.

BOWLING.
Healthy indoor Exercise.

Hopkinsville bowlers among the
flair sex will doubtless be interested
in what Mrs. Gundrum, an expert
bowler, has to say ON the subject in
a New York paper: She says:
Bowling is probably the most
healthful of all indoor pastimes,
and women should indulge in the
sport whenever opportunity offers,
They can do it, and are doing it
more and more every year. 1t is
splendid exercise, bringing into
play almost every muscle, and the
chances for OVERRIDING ones self
are but trifling. OF course, any
thing can be overdone, but you sell

ing an injury of any consequence
as a result of bowling. Some peo-
pie have the idea that it requires
uncommon strength to become
good bowler, but it is a fallacy pure
and simple. Women of small stat
ute and ordinary muscular devel-J
opment often learn to perform so
cleverly that they take place IN the
front rank. The element of sue
cess are in the true eye and regu-
ar practice.

is more pleasant to handle, is a
mistaken one if the bowler intends
to go in for records or require a de-
gree of proficiency that will help
her to team out in some closely
fought contest. 1t will be awk-
ward at first, but practice makes
perfect in bowling as in everything
else. There are many women in
Greater New York who roll as big
balls as fine strongest men.
But there must be some practice
with the smaller spheres, too. as
there are plenty of games in which
they become essential. To knock
ever a single pin, on spare, it is
preferable to use the little one, and
to do that successfully one must &C
custom herself to it. 1t is next to
impossible to lay down any set of
rules for learning how to bowl. A
persons temperament has a great
deal to do with it. Nervous, excit-
able woman must be taught to con-
troll themselves and study the care
full use of the sight. Stolid. phleg-
matte women have to be worked up
to a sense of activity in the use of
arms and eyes. No stated system
can be outlined, but the woman who
joins club and attends the meet
ing regularly will learn, with the
help of her more experienced sisters,
how to handle herself and how TO
roll.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press recently
contained an interview with Con
gressman-elect Haugen of this district
which showed him as thoroughly in
sympathy with the railroads as his
late opponent, Jim Blythe. His use
of the pronouns II" and "us' would
indicate that he considers himself the
whole cheese. He felt sure there
would be an extra session and that
the pooling bill would pass, also that
the anti-scalping bill would become g
law. Both these measures are pei
schemes of the railroads, but if going
on record in their favor was not
enough the Congressman is quoted
by the paper as ~intimating that he
had considerable sympathy with ma.
tional legislation of a character that
would assist the railroads in main
tanning their tariffs" If Mr.. Haugen

The Currency Question.
AN OBJECT LESSON.
the Porte Rican Currency n
Difficult One.

'The disposition to be made of the
Porto Rican currency is naturally one
of great Importance. Now that the
island is under American control, 1t be-
comes necessary to substitute American
currency for the Spanish as quickly as
possible, but it is realized that the
problem is an entirely new one, and
considerable tact will have to be eXer-
cised in its successful solution. Ac-
cording to the figures in the possession
of the treasury department the cur
rency of Porto Rico, exclusive OF the
fractional coin which may be in cir
culation, amounts to 100000 pesos.
These pesos contain almost as much
silver as the American standard dollar
-3E grains against 371-about 40
cents. AS a matter of fact, they have
a commercial value considerably high
er, owing to the comparatively small
number that are in circulation, and as
they are accepted by the American
customs officers at 80 cents, 1t is cheap
er for the Porto Rican merchants to
pay the customs duties in American
coin, %reserving the pesos for local cir
culation. Unless some new arrange
ment is made the pesos will remain out
standing, and this is the contingency
that the treasury officials desire to
avoid ."-Washington Post.
The reader will note the statement
that the Porto Rico peso is worth con-
siderably more than the commercial
value of the bullion because of the small
number in circulation. This shows the
difference between silver that cannot
be coined and that which is coined. 1t
also shows that the value of money de
ponds not upon the material of which it
Is made, but upon Its quality. If gold
and silver were both demonetized in
the United States, and our paper money
keptatits present volume, it would very
speedily rise to a premium over both
silver and gold; simply because it would
be SO scarce.

We are in a strange position in the
Philippines. We have bought the
islands and paid $780, 600, 900 for them.
Spain did not own them when she
sold them to ID and they do not be-
long to us or anybody else. Aguinal-
dos government doesn't own them
because his government does not ex-
tend over the archipelago. When
Spain ratifes the peace treaty we will
have a quit claim deed which will not
be worth anything. We cannot de.
clare war on the Filipinos because
that would be to recognize their gov.
eminent. That gallant victory Of
Dewey's got us into no end of trouble.
