gained in undervaluations. Nor will the expenditures of tramping Americans ex- plain the discrepancy. nor the remittances of immigrants All of these items have been sadly overworked and the republican organs have practically fallen back upon the comforting theory that we are sending money across the sea to be loaned. They claim that money in the ancient lands is worth more than it is in this new country, and that the capitalists are shipping away their gold We are, of course, told that it will some day return, or else that all the world will become our debtors, paying tribute to us. This is considered good enough theory until after the November election, and doubtless will be dished out freely to the rustic voter until that time. It will be given a vacation after Novem- Der.

FRANCES CURE FOR PLUTouRACY

From the Chicago Times-Herald. It is announced that a new scheme for
 getting rid of millionaires and monopo-
 lies has been adopted over in France The
 remedy is put forth by the socialists, who
 propose to challenge the rich people to
 fight duels, one after another, until the
 last of them bites the dust, or retires from
 the field with his honor satisfied and at least one finger in a sling.
 This plan has a number of commenda-
 ble features. First, there is just as fair
 a chance that it may serve to bring about
 a reduction in the ranks of the socialists
 as that it will cut off the supply of pluto
 crats, a condition that must, of course, be
 wholly satisfactory to all nonpartici-
 pants.
 Secondly, it will be more effective than
 the social ostracism for offensive trust
 magnates here, as proposed by President
 Hadley of Yale, in that the recipient of
 a challenge will not be able to calmly ig-
 nore the fact that he is challenged, our money barons continue the pursuit of happiness and dollars wholly oblivious of the ostracism to which they are being sub jected
 Another fine feature of the French so- | calists' cure for plutocracy is its un- | questionable fairness. No mean advan- | tage of the man whose money is to be l taken. He will have an opportunity to l defend himself against every socialist who | chooses to challenge him, and thus we see
 that his position is much less irksome than that of the American magnate. who is os- trasized without being fave d with a chance to ostrasize back.
 After profound consideration of the plan which the French socialists have hit upon for the overthrow of the money power we | have arrived at the conclusion that it is
 an excellent thing, inasmuch as the French | duel is to be the style adopted This will
 make the scheme entirely harmless while l in operation and still, by keeping the so- | cialists and monopolies busy on the field | of honor, reduce to a minimum their op- | portunities for indulgng in other forms of | mischief

s4,OOO A MONTH RENT

Paris Cable in New York Journal.
 Americans are taking the lead in so- cial matters, and many of them have rent ed fine apartments wherein to entertain during the exposition. Mrs. Potter Palmer has begun preparations for her social func- tions during the exposition by renting magnificent mansion in the neighborhood of the Trocadero. Hitherto 1t has been the residence of the Marquis de Montgomery. The rent is 10000 francs (s4,OO0) monthly. Mrs. Palmer has ordered the most superb liveries for her large retinue of servants. They are to appear in patent leather pumps, white silk stockings and plush waistcoats An idea of the rush for apart ments may be formed from the fact that Mrs. Spencer Eddy of Chicago pays 300 francs ($60) day for small suit near the Arc de Triomphe, and MT. Busch, the St Louis brewer, has engaged a more preten- ious suite in hotel for 1,500 francs ($30O a day. It is estimated that the cost of sec ing once all the attractions within the ex- position grounds is 600 francs (s120)

OEiaoina Gold.

v The republican organs are resorting to all sorts of excuses for the outflow of gold in a season, as they assert of exceptional prosperity, at a time when exports exceed imports by tens and even by hundreds of millions of dollars. No one is sending back large quantities of American securities, and the balances due on merchandise is in our favor, and yet gold is flowing the other way. Since the first day of last June the shipments have exceeded si5,000, ,000
 Such shipments arc filling foreign coffers and depicting those in this country.
 The movement must be explained, or else the claims of the tariff -mongers and trust.breeders as to prosperity will fall to the ground. Up to April l, when nine months of the present fiscal year had ex- pired exports had exceeded imports by the great sum of si12. 1000. and yet we have bills abroad that must be settled with gold. t. Why is this? The theory of undervalua- ton is exploded by the fact that a com paratively small amount of the goods inn ported were dutiable, and when no duty Is to be collected there is nothing to be

Contested November States.

: Champion Guesser Grosvenor is early in
 the field with an estimate that gives Me
 Kinley 26O electoral votes, Bryan 174 and
 places in the doubtful list 13 votes He hands New York over to Mckinley; it the 36 votes of that normally democratic state were taken away, MT. Mckinley would have but 224 left, which is exactly the num- Der necessary to elect. In the Grosvenor table, not only New York but North Da- kota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming are claimed as certain Mckinley states. These states cast 24 votes. In other words, if Mir Me Kinley loses New York and any one of the other states named, he will be succeeded by MT Bryan. As one at least of the other states vii be democratic, 1t is plain that MT Grosvenor bases his hopes of repub- lican success upon the vote of New York state and that is the reason why the re- publicans are determined to select a rum ming mate from New York. They want Governor Roosevelt but they may have to select Tim Woodruff

swEDEN's MoRMoNs

From the Chicago Record.
 Stockholm-The Mormons in Sweden have 2,7S1 believers. Last year they baptized 1S3 persons, and 1O2 emgrated to Zion in Utah. To see the work the missionaries do we need only glance at the number of meetings held and the house-to-house can- vass they made last year. Two thousand seven hundred and ninety-two meetings were held and 62629 personal visits were made to homes for the purposes of talking with the people and giving them tracts" :" There are sixty missionaries laboring for "Zion" in Sweden.

Mrs. Crane is succeed ing remarkably well in the conduct of her business affairs and she impressed busi- ness men here as woman of unusual ability and great force of character. She talked feelingly and entertainingly of her ia ther, the most noted of all the men whose fame and fortune have been asso- cated with the name of Birmingham; and she was deeply impressed by the Powell school, the noble monument to Colonel Powell. She is the gifted descendant of great man. Another notable Mississppian, MT. S. Castleman, neighbor of Mrs. Crane at Belzoni, was also in town, buy ing plantation supplies. He purchased of the big gin factory the material for large ginnery plant

Tn this list of 93 contested votes is to be found the name of the winner. Whoever gets a majority of the 93 votes will become nresident. In MT. Grosvenor's estimate he comedies to MT. Bryan IT votes, and the only state in the doubtful list given to MT. Bryan is Nebraska, which casts eight electoral votes. If instead of eight votes, MT. Bryan can secure 5s votes, he will be elected. And this does not take into ac- count California. which elected one Bryan elector in 1S96 and gave. the Mckinley electors only 2T97 plurality

Kentucky Before inc Supreme Court.

MT. Bradley's closing appeal in the Ken of the United States was much more an appeal to the partizanshp and prejudices of the members of the court than it was to precedent and law and the court itself. "This is" he said, the first fight which has been made south of the Ohio for the preservation of civil liberty by the pro- cesses of the courts, and if we fail,' he added, 'it is liable to be the last The same blighting influence of arbitrary power is sure to go farther and extend to other states, if there is not some supreme tri- bunal to which the people can come with 1 assurance of recognition will guarantee the preservation of their privileges and immunties If we fail here our condition
 Is pitiable indeed, for an appeal to the bal lot box will be, in the face of that failure,
 more worthless in the future than it has been in the past. Our bill of rights, though
 written in the blood of martyrs, will be worthless to us if the agencies given for our protection turn upon and betray us. We make our last appeal to you, but in so doing we look beyond to that eternal principle of justice which we know should and does regard the affairs of men,"
 This sort of appeal is very good, rhetor- ically speaking, and it may find as it was intended to find, a lodgment in the breats of the republican members of the court; but it has small relation to past decisions of the court as to state action In state matters The real question before the supreme court is a question that un- derlies the government. If question like that which has arisen in Kentucky-a pure ly state question-is to be decided in the federal courts then indeed very long step has been taken towards imperial control and consolidation. The states will then be but dependencies of a central power which in turn will be controlled by dozen plu- tocrats.
 The supreme court has adjourned to May IA, and this may be all the time that is left of od-fashioned state sovereignty The Kentucky case is no longer case confined to Kentucky interests. In it's present aspect it relates much to Ala bama or Massachusetts it does to Ken lucky. The rights of the states are in- volved of each and all, and the man does not live who can say what court that Is tWo-thirds republican will do.

Houston, Tex, May 1.-The Brazos river is all over the bottoms at Hampstead and below, but the river is expected to begin falling tonight Below Hemstead the river continues to rise steadily and the flats are rapidly being covered. The damage has probably all been done now. The Trinity bottoms are being rapidly depopulated on account of the flood coming down and there will likely be no casualties. The Concho rivers have spread over a large area and the flood will strike the Colorado much reduced in volume, lso that there is small danger of an overflow in that river. Trains are running regularly as a rhle.

"GOD SAVE OUR TOWN"

(From a Carrier s iAddress.)9 By Noble L. Prentis. ' Beyond the sea in cities old. With time-worn walls and moss grown
 towers, Still, as we are by travellers told, The ancient watchman calls the hours; At midnight, when the moon rides high, Rings out his voice to the roofs and sky. Twelve o'clock, twelve o'clock, and alri
 well,
 God save our town" But scarce his voice has died away Ere from the great cathedral down Midst sculptured saints who pray all day, Rings out OCT the sleeping town The pealing voice of the mighty bell. "Ans well, alls well.
 God save our town" And thus the carrier comes today, Like the old watchman far away, And thus to each and all doth say: From flood. from fire, From battles ire, From earthquakes harm, From rage of storm, From pestilence that walks abroad. And spreads its flight, By noon and night,
 God save our town. From pride that scorns nelghbor poor, Or drives a beggar from his door; s5 From misers boarding up their gold, From rascals cunning, bright, or bold Each in their several degree, And from the loud-voiced Pharisee,
 God save our town.

 Why they should expect to control the Connecticut delegation when they could not control the Massachusetts delegation is past finding out. Why will New York be anti-Bryan, when Pennsylvania is Bryan state? Why will the great Nebras- kan fail to carry Indiana when he readily carried Michigan?
 The truth is, there is nothing but wind in the anti-Bryan claim. Every state in their list will elect Bryan delegates, and the nomination will be made with an unanimity and enthusiasm that presages a solid party and a great victory. Never in the history of the country has the need of a man who represents all instead of a few been so greatly felt, and never before has that need been so we'll understood. Trusts and subsidies and tariff robberies and colonialism are in essence one thing; they are privileges for the few, and the people are getting ready to repudiate the entire lot and the party that created them.
