veloped into such startling proportions
as they now present. To these issues
Coin, in his new series of lectures,
devotes much of his attention, bu.
the old issue-the issue that will arise
perennlally until out Of the hands OF
favored class shall betaken the price
less privilege of issuing and controlling
the money of the people-engages his
attention in the opening chapters OF
this book. | do not think that Mr..
Harvey has ever done anything so
well as his dissection of the privileges
enjoyed and the further ones demand
ed by the national bankers. In
clear and simple style, using as here
tofore the dialogue form, he discusses
the demand OF the banking class that
it shall be permitted to control the
money of the people and shows con-
clusively by figures, the authenticity
Of which cannot b. disputed, how
enormous are the profits they now de-
rive and hope to continue to draw
from monopoly. The profit of the
dealer in money is the "unearned
increment" no less certainly than is
the profit of the speculator in land
who has contributed nothing to the
productive forces Of the nation. Mr..
Harvey demonstrates this, though he
does not use this particular compar-
ison, and believe that his logic will
prove as irrefutable as his language
is simple and direct.
To the questions Of trusts and i'm
perialsm, questions which cannot fail
to be bitterly debated during the cam
paign, the author has brought wealth
of statistical. material, re-enforced by
clear and logical comprehension of
the problems they involve, and l think
the strength and value of his discus
sion of these problems is derived
largely from the fact that he ap-
proaches them not altogether from
the standpoint of the cold and in
sensate political economist, but rather
from that of the man who puts into
his political beliefs and into his writ
ings that touch of heart, of human
sympathy, which made much of the
difference between Herbert Spencer
ard Henry George. l do not believe
that great book on economies or on
any living and vital social problem
can be written from the dry-as-dust
point of view Adam Smith and Mill
and J. Laurence Laughlin may be
necessary for the progress of science,
though in the case of the latter some
what doubt it, but it is not their type
of writing which accomplished great
things which stirs the people, and
which will be remembered outside of
academic halls or musty Libraries.
In my opinion this new book of Mr..
Harvey's-notably better than "Coin's
Financial School"-by its thoroughly
human treatment of the questions of
the campaign, deserves and will attain
a popularity and circulation quite
commensurate with his earlier one.
1t is, like that one, cleverly illustrated
by drawings which enforce the teach
ings of .he text, and is given certain
up.to-date and living interest by the
employment of the names of we'll
known men in the course of the dis
cussion which it recounts. 1t is book
that will be read by the millions and
will be most potent weapon IN the
hands of the people for their defense
against privileged classes.

Senator Cochran has Just re-
turned from Florida, where he
transacted business. While there
the Senator put in several days
quail shooting. On one of these
occasions he was OH one knee bend
ing over the fire alone, with a cup
on the end of a stick, cooking his
coffee. Another hunter, a stran-
ger, unknown to the Senator,
snapped him i'll that position with a
kodak. The two then journeyed
back to Jacksonville together and
the snapshot proved to be a good
one. The Senator speaks highly
of the Florida shooting and says he
got up some coveys with forty
birds in them - WiAhamsport Sun.

The reason why 1900 is not a leap
year, although it is divisible by four, is
that according to the Gregorian sys.
TEN on which our calendar is based,
the closing year of century is never
leap year unless it is exactly divisl-
bic by 400. The next leap year will
be in 1904, the last having been in
1896. Ever since 1000 the leap years
at the end of a century have been
separated by gap Of eight years, but
the year 1000 will interrupt the series.

singing society will often be repeated,
as will his death be mourned, by them.
Coupled with all these commendable
qualifications were Sigurd's love Of lis
home and family. One of his highest
and oft-repeated ambitions was to live
with and care for his parents during
their old age. his love for his brother
aud sisters was that pure love which
makes one better for being thus loved;
and thus it always was. The love of
home and family broadened into that
of friends and made him the favorite
he was.
The funeral services were held on
Friday afternoon from the United
Lutheran church. Rev. j. o. Haugen,
officiating, attended by large num-
Der of friends.
The floral offerings and music were
exceptionally beautiful and touching.
The following beautiful tribute to
Sigurd's memory was composed by
one of his admirers:
Tossed brief hour upon life's stormy pillows,
Buffeted roughly by times ruthless hand,
Thy SOULS CASTOR garments we've laid meath
Thy soul, ali! thy soul is in heavens bright
land.

Yet spite Its briefness, thy life left me lessons
Which, try as may, can ne'er learn too
we'll
LIES many burdens too often appall me.
Vain my weak efforts at smiling through
Too prone to murmur that sorrows befall me
would fain read my future, though trembl.
ing with fears.
To thee, friend, the present to know seemed
The smile on thy brow TO no cloud yielded
Despite that thou, too, must have felt heart.
The veil tried to lift from dim futures dread

Clear though thy smile. thy voice was ye
! Whether in greeting. in laughter, or song.
Now thou'rt called higher. to Gods throne
Thy voice rings harmonious in heaven,
IA nsomed throng.
Yes, thou art gone! All thy souls secret
longing
For patience and grace reaped reward in
thy death,
Thy sorrowing friends round thy bier sadly
thronging,
Though mourning full deeply, felt a heaven

Scant be my praise, thy life though never
Envied, though richer in blessings thar
| mine;
Mild DE my censure, in fear as shiver,
My death-bed from God may be less bles
| than thine.
Grant that through life may bear my whole
| burden
Patiently, Father, with strength from above
In DEATH then may Thou, Christ, be my soul'l
rich guerdon,
Accepted In faith through thy Spirit of Love
