INCREASE IN PER CAPITA.

Four years ago a favorite argument
among a. large number of voters was
that the business depression was due
to an insufficient volume in circula-
tion, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. There was a widespread. belief
that the government should pour out
money in some form, giving more con-
s%ideration to the quantity afloat than
to maintaining the worlds established
standard. The populist national plat
form of 1892 declared that all money,
paper included, should be issued by the
country itself and demanded that 'tthe
amount Of circulating medium be
speedily increased to not less than $50
per capita" Four years later the
platform of the same party again fav-.
ored money issued exclusively by the
general government and .the increase
.of the circulating medium to an
amount sufficient to meet the demands
of business and population, and to re-
$50 tAo just AOSSA VI plASSS anu plO-
tduction.' In his noted speech Bryan
referred to bankers whom he said met
in their private Offices to corner the
money of the world; and the Chicago
platform asserted that the gold STAN
dard had locked fast the prosperity
of an Industrial people in the paralysis
of hard times" On the fusion side
represented by Bryan the universal cry
was for more money, regardless of its
depreciation in value one-half or more.
Many honest people in the dark days
of the last democratic administration
thought that the main trouble was a
volume of money too small to transact
the business of the country and to give
a proper mobility to the affairs of the
people. An official statement has just
been made in relation to the per capita
question that ought to be accepted as
a full demonstration of the soundness
of the republican view Of this matter.
The per capita has enormously in
creased under the gold standard. There
is a vast enlargement of the number
of dollars in circulation, and surely it
is an advantage to the people that
every n Of these dollars is ON a par
ity with gold. Since April 1, 1896,
the volume of money in circulation
has increased to the surprising extent
of 1892 ,645,O43, a sum that would buy
more than 81 600, 100000 worth of
silver bullion. Through republican
success the circulating medium has
been enlarged by an ayerage$of $123,-
100000 a year in gold, intrinsically
equivalent to double the amount in sill
yer. Those who asked for more per
capita in dollars Of reduced and uncer-
tain value are getting it in dollars that
pass for 100 cents abroad as well as al
home. Their demand has been met
the difference being that the dollars
are worth more than double those that
they proposed.

Now we find Major Edwards, with
memories of personal and political
ambitions unsatisfied, indorsing Editor
Winship of the Grand Forks Herald
for the lieutenant governorship. He
says that George is so busy with his
excellent and rapidly improving paper
that he could not find time to accept
a place as one Of the heads of the
ticket, but the lieutenant governorship
would give him sixty days to be at the
capitol Turing the session and would
be a recognition Of the Herald and
Grand Forks. Are we thus to under
stand that Grand Forks county is on
the map again?

The wealth of kindness and the hidden

That lies concealed beneath the masks

Perhaps if we could enter in and share
The beauties of the soul, that like the

OF the unopened bud, r only blent
With air when Nature tempts the

To shed its fragrance-then, perhaps,
who knows?

Well, I did think she might
Have had some taste, but, My!

Never saw such a hat!
Such a dowdy!! So fiat!

me of Chief McClaughry Of Chicago.
He used to be warden at the state pen

the reputation Of being the coolest man
in Illinois. He was as shifty as any Of
the men he had to handle and as quick
and calm about ii as a regular Sherlock
Holmes Nothing could feaZe him.
zone day McClaughry was sitting in
his office ut just about the time the
men were being marched back to their
cells from work. He was alone. There
was a sound behind him, and, whlrling
round, he saw a convict who had pass
ed the guard in some way creeping to-
ward him with an ugly looking iron
bar in his hand
Don't you stir the man whisper
ed I'm going to get out Of this If
have to kill you to do it,

you were going tomorrow" The man
stared at McClaughry and gruntcd,

why Tower. Not Castle. of London.

London'S most famous historical
building was named the Tower" and
not the Castle" of London. Most
fortresses of Norman construction in
England keep the name of castle. Lon
don's Norman fortress alone bears an
other title The reason is to be found
in the methods of Norman military ar
chitecture. A Norman fortress was
constructed of n tower or keep. with an
attendant castle. each having the same
relative Importance. The first consta-
bic of the Tower called himself con
stable of the Tower of London and its
attendant castle" Whereas in the
case of most such buildings in England
the name castle has survived longest
