We are to have shinplasters again.
1t Is understood that the treasury
will soon issue $40, 900, 900 of frac-
tional paper currency in demoni-
nations of IS and so cents. and per-
haps smaller, to meet the large de-
mand, principally from the west.
The iniative came from Nebraska,
in the shape of a circular addressed
to numerous congressman, asking
them to favor a bill embodving a
provision for the issue of small pa
per currency. The suggestion has
met with favor in the treasury de-
partment and it is said that in a
Snort time $40, 900, 900 of this cur
rency will be placed o. sale in the
various postofices where the de-
mand is greatest. The main object
to be subserved is to facilitate the
transmission of small amounts of
money in letters for the benefit of
country people making small mail
purchases at a distance. Without
some such conveniences, small sums
are sent in silver and are easily de-
tected in letters, or a postal order
must be purchased, involving un-
necessary expense.

A recent visitor to the Philippines
says the women of the islands are
remarkably pretty, having big Ian
gushing eyes and an abundance of
long hair. This they fasten up
with big gold pin and then adorn
with flowers. They do not wear
hats, but use sun-shades, and do so
very coquettishly; they wear very
dainty shoes, embroidered in gold
and silver thread, but no stockings.
They are distinguished by grace of
figure and movement, though ac-
cording to our ideas, not specially
by refinement of habits, for both
women and children smoke huge
cigars and indulge in betel chew
ing. 1t is their custom to keep the
thumb nail of the right hand very
long as this assists them in playing
their favorite instrument, the guitar.

An exchange says: "a practical
woman of this town remarked the
other day that she read advertise
ments in newspaper more closely
than anything else. And long
ago she said, 4 quit buying of
those who did not advertise. 1t
seems to me that the merchant who
advertises invites me to trade with
him. while the one who does not
advertise impresses me with the idea
that he doesn't care enough for my
trade to ask for it. Then, too,
know that the merchant who ad-
vertises has fresh goods for the
reason that he sells more"

Admiral Dewey is on his way
home. When he Arrives in New
York city he will be given the big
gest and most expensive reception
ever rendered an American citizen,
says the Albany Democrat. He
has earned it and deserves all the
praise he may receive, and yet in
some respects such a reception is
unfortunate for the man who re-
ceives it, and in others he would be
better off if he could arrive less
tremendously, but just as appreci-
ated by a heart demonstration on
the part of the people.

ELECTIONS IN 1900.
Democratic Chances Are ON the In
crease in Some Doubtful
States.

There will be few elections this year
Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachu-
sets, Mississippi and Ohio are the only
states that elect governors and state Of
ficers. In all these, with the excep-
ton of Maryland and Ohio, the result
can be predicted with reasonable GER
tainty.
Without doubt Kentucky will sup
plant her present republican governor
with democrat. In Maryland the race
will be close, with the probabilities fa-
voring democratic success, owing to the
result of the recent mayoralty race in
contest in Baltimore.
In Ohio the situation is too mixed for
confident prediction. If democratic SEN
timent has been crystallized and i'm
creased TO the extent apparent in sew
eral other states, the outlook for DEM
ocratic victory in the Buckeye state is
by no means discouraging. The evolu-
ton of Mayor Jones, of Toledo, as an
anti-machine republican candidate for
governor is expected to increase demo-
cratic chances.
1t goes without saying that Mississip-
pi will go democratic and Massachu-
sets the other way. In Pennsylvania
the republicans will elect judges, and,
in New York and New Jersey, where
trust money is largely in evidence,
majority of the legislatures will prob
ably be elected by the party which
depends on trusts and on which trusts
depend.-St Louis Republic.

How Hanna works.

Hon. Marcus A. Hanna has long been
influential in politics, but has been an
active, commanding politician for only
a few years. He has not the arts of con-
cealment and indirection that the
older practitioners have. He is en-
titled to be credited with frankness. He
went at politics with a club, and did
not take much trouble to keep his
methods in the background. And now
he is called wicked boss. There is
good reason to believe the reports that
frequently get abroad that he is dis
gusted with politics, and even wishes
that he could get out of the senate and
take all the complications of the situa-
ton with him. Senator Foraker is said
to be tired, too. When he thinks of
the way Hanna is laying for" him
when his time for reelection comes, he
feels like kicking his fences down and
letting everything go to pieces but after
thinking awhile he feels that he must
fight or go out of public life whipped.
If Messrs Hanna and Foraker would
s.yet together and simultaneously re-
sign their places the people would be
willing to get along with such tempo
rary selections the the governor might
make.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

a SEASIDE MEMORY.

II seems so strange. Once more beside
Inc sheltered cove within the bay
SIT out on the ebbing tide
TIE fishing boats sail far away
Inree cloudy bars, like ships afiame,
Float slowly down the SAFFRON west:
Inc kine come home, each called by name,
ana Ger the land steals twilight's rest.
Behind me lies the Gewy dale:
hear the ripping streamlet flow
singing again the witchfng tale
heard one eve-long, long ago
catch the murmur of her name
Amidst the measures of its tune:
But, an! the rapture's not the same
AS twas beneath that quiet moon.
Throughout that soft. calm twiIight's fall
we sat in bliss, hand clasped in hand;
We heard the last lone curIew call
Then silence crept DER all the land
We watched the beacon's quivering CLEANS
Shoot swift across the darkeaing sea;
And midst their glory wove our dreams
In loves enthralling ecstasy
We sat till the first stars shed down
On sea and shore their kindly light.
And silently the spectral town
Lay in the dreamy zap of night.
And, oh! we saw such visions fair,
Through loyal Loves far-seeing eyes;
Whilst Fancy filled the kindly air
With music born in Paradise
'Tis past! tits past for evermore!
| hear the bells upon the hill;
But I'm alone upon the shore
Whilst she is sleeping calm and still,
Her dear hands folded on her breast,
Beneath the roses, far away;
And there my longing heart would rest
To wait, with her. the brighter day.

COST AND PRICE.
Defenders of Trusts FallaciousIy
Argue That MOnOpoIies Reduce
Expense of Consumer.

1t has been argued by some trust de-
tenders that since monopoly can reduce
the cost of production there must of ne
cessity follow a reduction of cost to
the consumer.
This conclusion does not follow, be-
cause the trusts will not give the con-
sumner the benefit of the reduction.
But here is another answer to this
argument which has been made by w.
j. Bryan, who in discussing this mat
ter says:
But, even if it could be shown that a
monopoly would reduce the cost of pro-
duction and give to the consumer the
benefit of the reduction, the trust would
still be undesirable, because of it's tend
ency to destroy individual independ-
ence. A landed aristocracy, which
would secure to few the ownership of
all the land and condemn an ever-ir-
creasing number to perpetual tenancy,
would be no more destructive of our ma
tional ideals than a system of indus
trial monopoly which promises hered-
itary wealth to the few at the top and
hopeless toll to the breadwinners, upon
whom our social structure rests.
''If it is admitted that the trust is
wrong, then the only question remain
ing is: Is it possible to destroy it? AS
trusts are impossible except through
the organization of corporations, and
as corporations cannot exist except by
legislative permission, there would be
complete remedy in the withdrawal of
all corporate rights; but so radical a
remedy is not necessary"
As a matter of fact, the difficulty in
dealing with trusts has been that while
the people have been hostile to the prin-
ciple of monopoly the instrumentalities
of government have been largely under
the control of those who hold sympathy
with the trusts.
The problem, then, is not so much the
devising of law which will destroy
trusts as the putting of men in office
who will enforce the law which is al
ready upon our statute books.
1t is vain to hope to secure such men
from the ranks of the republican party;
therefore the necessity of establishing
democratic supremacy.-Chicago Dem
ocrat.
