GOLD. ABUNDANT, IS NOT WANTED

Three years ago banks and pri- vate individual were hoarding gold. To-day the banks complain of a glut of it. Their customers who would have seized the yellow metal so eagerly had it been tend cred them in 1896 turn up thelr noses at it now and ask for bills, which the banks are sometimes unable and always unwilling to give. At the beginning of this month the United States treasury held only S22, 100000 in paper money, and does not wish to give up any of it in exchange for gold. Not even the most hardened free silverite talks now about the scarcity" of gold or its ''apprec- lated" value, There is instead a scarcity of bills and there will con- tinue to be unless the people get accustomed to handling gold. At present they seem to object to using it almost as much as they do to using the silver dollar. If this aversion to coin proves to be un- conquerable the government will have to provide more bills of the small denominations which ''the masses" handle. Chicago Trib- une.
 Every indication points to the logical conclusion that paper money is the money of the people and that gold, as money, is rapid- ly losing its hold or the position 1t formerly held in the minds of the masses. 1t is being clearly demonstrated each day that the great financial question that must be settled is what kind of paper money shall the people use, that issued by the banks or the money issued by the government! We are of those who believe that this prerogative, of issuing paper money belongs exclusively to the people and their govern ment. and that it should under no circumstances be farmed out to individuals or corporations.

RURAL TAIL DELIVERY.

The postal authorities have con cluded that in order to make a success of the free delivery of mail matter in the rural sections of the country there must be a cnrtailment of expenses in other branches of the department. It is proposed to abolish many thousand fourthclass postofhces, the cost of maintaining which is believed will be sufficient to meet the expense incurred in serving the farmers with their mail in the same man ner as cities are accommodated by carriers. The new system is to be tried in two congressional districts. If the experiment proves success full there will be loud and pro- longed howl from the fourth class postmasters, as 1t is expected that not less than one third of the 69, 753 offices will be effected by the change. Their protest will have very little influence in Washing ton, as all the farmers arc i'll favor of the free delivery system, and their votes count for moro than those of the fourth class postmast- crs.-Arkansas Gazette.
 There will have to be some road work done in this neck of the woods before the farmers can have the benefit of this system. If the system does away with lot ot fourth-class postmasters, as stated, it at the same time gives employ ment to a large number of carriers and their votes will count as much as the postmasters.

The price of gas. l think. is about 5S cents per 1000 cubic feet. and poor people can put penny in a slot machine and get enough gas turned on to light quite a little while.

The city owns and con trols ali the tramways or street car lines, as you call them, and although the charges have been re duced one half since the trans passed into the hands of the mu- nicipaIity, the profits of operating them have vastly increased.

APPROPRIATE OFFERINGS.

APPROPRIATE OFFERiNUS.
 The Kansas City Journal giving an account of tho funeral services of the late Robert Gillham, says of the floral offerings: "The room in which the body lay was almost filled with floral pieces, the last token of esteem of his friends and associates in business. It required two wagons to take the flowers to the cemetery, where they were piled upon the grave, completely hiding it from view. Among the chief floral pieces was a locomo- tive, tender and one car passing over tho bridge. The ear bore the number 90, which was the number of Mir. Gillham's private car. The piece was composed of roses, car nations and sweet peas and was the gift of the Pittsburg & Gulf officials at Kansas City. Another large piece bore the words, "Our Employer" It was the Pittsburg & Gulf employees at Mena. There were two pieces sent by the park board and one from the Holland stockholders of the railroads A cablegram from Amsterdam or dered the flowers to be sent to MT. Gillham's homo"
 At the Congregational church memorial services were held and brief addresses were made by 0. H. Dean. A. k. Meyer, J. McD. Trimble, David D. Hoag and Dr. Henry Hopkins. We quote from Judge Trimble's eloquent remarks the following expressions that should be treasured by every young man for the vital truths they contain: ''*** But while praise is useless, it might be we'll for us, tonight, to look at some of the characteristics that made the man what he was. A large degree of intelligence without industry is failure. Me diocrity coupled with persistence will succeed often times. But Mir. Gillham possessed that rare combination of intelligence and industry which makes success cer- tain. His industry knew no bounds and to that more than any other one thing is his success at tributable. Men are not born with knowledge or with other at- tainments not acquired by work. But still more important factor in his make up was the formation of his habits. Great learning and great intelligence, coupled with bad habits, are an element of dan ger to the community. He had habits that were above reproach and an industry so untiring 1t knew no weariness. These were the clements of success that shone forth so brilliantly in his life.
 His success shows that in this land of the free under the stars and stripes, men are not born great, but may acheive greatness. His life and success serve as an en- couragement to those following in the work that he began. While we may, with propriety, mourn our loss, yet we need not shed any tears on his account. Life is a struggle upward to the goal of success. Handicapped with frail body, before he had reached the summit of the hill he fell. Death, after all, is but a transition from sorrow to happiness, from earthly to heavenly things, from bondage to freedom and from pain and toll to the glory of the kingdom of God"
