The Free coinnge Dollar.

The people OF the country must re-
member that the Demo- Populist candl-
date for the presidency. however, much
he may seek 10 impress upon them that
'.imperialism" and "milltaHsm" are the
paramount issues In this campaign, that
he distinctly and emphatically refused
to be candidate unless the free silver
coinage plank OF the Chicago platform
was reatfirmcd in the Kansas City
patchwork OF political monstrositIes.
What would become of US under the
free and unlimited coinage OF silver at
the ratio of l6 to 1?
Let US suppose we were afflicted with
advocates of the free coinage OF bricks,
and that they should in fact secure the
passage Of a law providing that anyone
bringing bricks to the mint in any
quantity should be entitled to have each
brick stamped zone dollar" and made
legal tender for 4 dollar for all debts,
public and private. or course this
would make bricks worth 81 each; but,
unfortunately. 1t would do this not by
raising the value Of the bricks to the
present value OF the dollar. but by low
ering meaning OF the dollar" TO the
value Of brick. A thousand bricks
would then exchange for no more than
they do now; and, TO the sorrow Of any,
one who happened to have 4 bank de-
post or other claim for money payable
In dollars" $1,000 would then buy or
exchange for no more than 1000 bricks
do now.
In other words. under free coinage It
is the value OF the substance to which
the dollar stamp Is applied that deter
mines the value Of the coin.

as few are aware. of the number of in
dustrics located there and the volume
OF their business. Four years of pros
pcrity and oil have done wonders for

edition has its funny side. The Sentinel
is Bryanite and supports men who
say there Is no prosperity. In fact, the
Sentinel is on record for this offense
also. The Sentinel may say there Is no
prosperity. but its own pages gave it

/ up and get" On election morn
Democratic hacks are sent for the pau-
pers, and each one is told not how he
may vote, but how he must vote, and
if he doesn't vote accordingly woe be
tide him. This is fact. I know
whereof I speak. On the Sd tilt. an
inmate of the house refused to vote
Democrat, although the party, late in
the afternoon, had gone to the trouble
and expense of sending for him
special hack, and when it was disCov-
cred that he had dared to run counter
to the will of the party, he was official
~ informed that the town was hard up,
that the municipal Golfers were about
empty, and that he would have to
''get." It 50 happened that he was go
ing TO get" anyhow just as soon as
there was work to be got that he was
able to do.
I may also state that on the occasion
referred to no Republican hacks were
seen at the Poor House door, nor in
the neighborhood thereof
AS to the domestic regulations of
the house no fault can be found. To
any reasonable persons they must
seem satisfactory throughout While
minus of everything in the way of
luxury, it is always neat and clean,
and the board is good: better perhaps
than many a workiugmau is generally
used to. With her means the Matrou
does the best that can be done. In
everything she shows tact, Judgment,
! regularity, watchfulness and energy,
| Then her forcefulness of character,
frmness and resolution give her apti-
| tude for her position and tend to make
| her secure of the respect and obedience
! which the female superintendent of
such a place might naturally look for
and consider herself entitled to. Al
ways kind and considerate, she is ever
ready to help such as need help and
extra care, and of her every one in the
house speaks well, kindly and respect
fully.
And now it occurs to me that the
place must be healthy and in some way
conducive to longevity. Leningham
has been in it for a long, long time.
He is now in his ninety-fourth year,
Yet he is healthy and sound, and his
appetite is always good. Nevertheless,
at the table, even when he gets away
with two or three cups of coffee, two
or three eggs, and a corresponding
amount of bread and potatoes, he al
ways protests that he can't ''survoive''
much longer; that he has no appetite,
and that he can't Gait boite at all at
ALL"
But IN the house there are no dyspep-
tics. Everybody looks hale and stout.
They eat like workingmen, smoke like
miniature volcanoes, and sleep like
Rip Van Wrinkles. Even Johnson has
a face like beet, full and red. He eats
three times day, and says the only
thing that hurts him is having some
times to work 'atween mails
To my thinking, they are well
enough off, and should be thankful.

a Retiring Inmate of the P0Or-house
Writes to the News OF the De-
lights of the Pauper.
SOME POLITICAL INTRIGUBs.

How the Carriages Come to the Poor
House to Get The Paupers to Vote the
Right way, and How one of Them Went
Astray High Compliment Paid the
Matron of the Poornouse for Her Eff
ctent Services for the Unfor. unates.
Now that so much is being said i'll
regard to the paupers in Kenosha and
their treatment, the following letter,
written by one Of the unfortunates,
will probably be of great interest.
The letter was sent to the News Office
last night, and reads as follows:
MAN wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long,
That fact may be realized by such as
have to spend their winter months in
the Kenosha Poor House. One enter
ing that tenement when the tempera-
ture is down to zero may find huddIed
around the cook stove a few octogena-
riens looking cold and inert as dead
trees in a prairie, and as stOical as an
ideal follower of Geno. In their lives
there is nc poetry and LOT much dog
gere1; and they are too inert to show
either optimism or pesslnism. Stohd
they seem and wholly Indifferent to
the dull monotony of the lives they
have to lead. They smoke, eat and
sleep, and some of them have hardly
exercise enough for an Irish turf
stack which moves or is moved twice
year. The only pessimist to be
found there is Johnson. He prays and
swears alternately. His prayer is
"God help me-" This is the only
prayer he seems to know, and he is not
good at invention. When the weather
is cold he stays upstairs hugging the
stove-pipe, and when the bell rings for
meal time he comes down willingly
and cheerfu1ly enough, but when asked
or told to sweep the floor, or do some
thing else equally light, he swears like
Sam Hill and grows furious as an In
dian with two quarts of adu1terated
whiskey in his interior. He is an
awful man; and if he were a John l..
Sullivan in strength and prowess he
would have to be Gagged, and then
chained when let out for air and
exercise.
The house is old, di1apidated, and
the style thereof antiquated. I have
been told that more than twenty-five
years ago it was old enough to vote.
may here remark that at present it
is subject to Democratic dictation.
The occupants are not only expected to
vote Democrat, but in fact they have
to, and if they don't they have to get

MINOR WINS OUT.
Eighth District Republicans Re-nomi-

The Eighth District Congressional
Convention, concluded its long
struggle over a Republican nominee
for Congress, after the Tooth ballot
| Hatton withdrew, Hatton's men went
over to Minor, with the result that
Minor was nominated and Kusterman
| left out in the cold. The battle over,
the combatants shook hands and the
different and opposing delegations
swung themselves into delirious po-
1itica1 shindig; pandemonium prevail
ed, headgear and everything else con
veniently reached flew up to the cell
ing and over the hall, the delegates
and rooters kicked the floor until the
nails 1oosened, and overturned the
chairs and tables, every man tried to
whistle his familiar tune but could not
on account of a commOtion in risibi1i-
ties. Mr.. Minor made neat little
speech, SO also did Hatton, and Kus-
terman as is his wont covered himself
ali over with sentiment as the blowing
! beetle covers itself with jujube; he
concluded the Congressional Love
Feast by singing his latest production
E'Happy once, but o no more"
Edward S. Minor was born in New
York in 1840 Game to Wisconsin 1916.
Settled near Milwaukee, but later
moved to Sheboygan County, and in
1857 found home in the peninsu1ar of
| Door County. In 1860 Mr.. Minor en-
listed in the second Wisconsin Cavalry
and was mustered out of service as
lieutenant in 1862. After the war he
engaged in the mercantile business in
Sturgeon Bay. In 1884 he became Su-
perintendent of Sturgeon Bay Canal
Company. He served three years in
the Assembly at Madison, his first
election being in 1873. In 1882 Mr..
Minor was elected State Senator,
which position he held for two years.
He is now serving his third term as
member of Congress having been
chosen in 1894. His long experience in
the political affairs of State and
Nation give him prestige. He is an
excellent representative of his consti-
tuency in the Eighth District.
