The Republican national con-
vention will be held at Phila-
delphia in June next. Nothing
but declination or death can
prevent the unanimous nomination
of William Mckinley as his own
successor. W. believe he will be
triumphantly reelected. His adj
ministration has been a complete
success from the start. It meets
with the approval of a vast
majority of the American people.
Prosperity has been restored and
maintained. As a nation we have
been brought into front rank
among the nations Of the world.
Promises made in 1896 have been
fulfilled as fast and as far as
practicable. All the prophecies of
disaster made by the Bryanites in
1896 have come to naught and the
prophets stand confounded. The
work left incomplete will be carried
on to a perfect consumation during
the next four years. The fnan-
cial problems will be solved; a
merchant marine will be built up:
American supremacy on the high
seas will be established; our flag
will be flung to the breeze in all
parts of the world where the tide
Gibbs and flows; our manufactures
will increase far beyond what we
'now dream; our mineral wealth

Indeed China's settlements for
foreign account are made upon the
gold basis.
In keeping with these impor-
tant events Mother Earth, in the
most prodigal fashion, is revealing
her long-hidden wealth to the en-
terprise and industry of man. The
output of gold has grown and is
growing to enormous proportions.
The money volume of the world is
rapidly increasing, and gives
promise Of Immediately supplying
every commercial requirement.
The single gold standard, if the
supply of gold continues to be
great enough, will accomplish
everything that the most ardent
bimetallist could have hoped for
from the reconciliation of silver
as an aid to gold while the world
was threatened with a stringency
of gold. Some gentlemen who are
today passing as wiseacres would
not know so much now if the
worlds gold output had decreased
instead of increasing; or if India,
Japan and Russia had continued
to insist upon the silver standard.
As it is, and as it will always be,
the financial prophet must con-
tinue to take the mountains and
the. gulches into his confidence.
Theory is apt to be sadly shaken at
times by the sudden discovery that
the precious metals are being over
produced or that the output is fall
ing away in volume. The wisest
statesmen will fail as constructors
of economic policies if they neglect
to take into consideration the pos-
sibilities and impossibilities under
natural laws.
Meantime the editor of the
Grand Forks Herald will go on
airing his disappointment over his
failure to drive Senator Hans
brough out Of the Republican
party, and he can never quite for
give the Republican legislature of
1897 for having unanimously re-
turned the senator to Washington.

THE MONETARY

It is gratifying to know that the
views of the proprietor Of this
journal sometimes meet the ap-
proval of the Grand Forks Herald,
whose editor has a most e%xtraor-
binary record for inconsistency.
Beginning as a Democrat not so
many years ago, he has ranged on
both sides of the highway Of pol
ifcal rectitude, boiling regular
party nominations whenever it
suited his purpose to do so, and
landing finally in the socialist
camp with the un-American sref-
erendum'' inscribed upon his ban
ner for the 1900 campaign. Where
does the Herald editor find war
rant in any Republican platform
for his advocacy of the referen-
dun?
Senator Hansbrough never
sought or assumed to be greater
than his party. His advocacy of
bimetallism, when the worlds
supply Of gold was small, and
when the output was falling far
short Of the demands of business,
was in harmony with the declara-
tions Of Republican platforms of
that date, His acquiescence in
the financial measures Of his party
at this time is a further illustra-
ton of his consistent record, and
the change Of the Republican
party from bimetallism to the gold
standard is justified by the
changed conditions throughout the
world. International bimetallism
is out of the question under pres
ent circumstances, and the free
coinage of silver on our own &C.
count would be suicidal, for the
United States has recently become
a great world power and must
keep step with the progress Of the
world.
About the time that the money
question was at an acute stage in
this country India went to the
gold standard. India is one of
our wheat-raising competitors,
and her change to our standard of
money removed the chief cause of
complaint-the inequality in ex-
change. Then Japan and Russia
espoused gold as their money Of
final redemption, while China with
one-fourth Of the earth's popula.

It is quite probable that the
increase in the population Of
North Dakota will be shown by
the next census to be SO great as
to entitle her to an additional
representative in congress. The
increase in population for the past

TESTIFY AGAINST JESTER.
Three Witnesses Tell OF Seeing Pool o
Blood in Hulen Lane.


New London, Mo-, July 17.-Testi-
mony in the Jester trial was continued
today. Mrs. Rebecca Steward, wife
of Captain Hugh Steward, who testi-
fed Saturday to seeing a pool OF blood
in the road in Hulen Lane along
which Jester was travelling, fully cor
roborated her husbands testimony.
Mrs. Amanda Clark testified that she.
too, accompanied by her sister, rode
along Hulen Lane the same day. and
when near the old Presbyterian church
met Jester with two teams and wag-
ons. In those days, she said strangers
spoke to each other on the highways
and she spoke to Jester, but he did
not answer and acted peculiarly. In
the rear wagon she saw the figure of
man lying on the floor under some
covering. AS soon as she passed the
wagons she saw blood spots in the
snow, and farther on she saw a pool
of blood In the road. When she re.
turned from Middle Grove she noticed
that the trail of blood turned south al
the mouth of Hulen Lane.

TERRIBLE RIDE
Made by Two Boys Through . Tunnel
on a Car Roof.


New York Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean:
Having expended all the money in
their possession In a week spent In
sightseeing in New York, George
Huxon, aged eighteen, and John Cor
key, aged seventeen, both residents oil
East Cambridge, Mass, determined
Friday night to steal ride home on a
New Haven train. The boys loiterei
about the foot bridge at Forty-eighth
street that spans the Grand Central
train yards, and the idea suggested
itself to them to drop to the roof OF a
car Of the Boston midnight express as
it was passing under them. AS the
Montreal express steamed out OF the
station at 1908 o'clock at lively gait
the youths mistook 1t for the Boston
train. They vaulted over the railing
of the bridge and droppedto the roof OF
a mail car. They had just seated them
selves when the train swung out in
the side track and headed for the sim
gle track tunnel. Once inside the tun-
mel the train began to increase in speed
until it was travelling at high rate.
The predicament of the boys was
frightful. Smoke, hot cinders, a ter
rible draught, darkness and a loud
roar made them fear for their lives.
Corkey, it is said, suffered from collid-
ing with the roof OF the tunnel. When
the boys finally emerged from the tun-
mel Corkey was badly cut and bruised.
When the train came to stop at
Spuyten Duyvil they made their pres
ence known. They were helped from
the roof of the car. Corkey, it is said,
was almost nude, the clothing having
been torn from his body in the tunnel.
Huxon was covered with dust and
bleeding from the mouth and nose. The
boys were taken to Yonkers and turned
over to Policeman James Nolan. Cor
key was conveyed to St Johns hospi-
tai. The boys were arraigned in court
and remanded.
