arrival OF the doctor. An Albany IN. VI

doctor to come and see his child. then
very sick with Group. Not finding the
doctor in. he left word for him 10 come
at once on his return. He also bought
bottle OF ChamberIsin's cough remedy,
which he hoped would give some relief
until The doctor should arrive. In few
hours he returned, SAYING the doctor
need not come, as the child was much
better. The Druggist, Mr.. Otto Scholz.

REMAINS A MYSTERY.

Secretary Hay says that no alliance
is possible without a treaty and that
no treaty between this government and
another can be made without publicity.
of course, the secretary evades the
real pOint-that Of a secret understand
ing between the heads of two gov
ernments, but it doesn't matter
BY the way, it ought to be as easy
to make a treaty in secret az to repeal
a law without any Of the legislators or
any one else in authority ever finding
it out And our suburban contempo-
rary has frequently informed its read
eTs that the antitrust law of 1890 was
repealed in 1S94--a bit of valuable infOr-
nation which had not reached the pres
ident when he sent his last message to
congress, or the supreme court, when
it passed on the pipe trust case, or the
delegates to the recent antitrust con-
ference at Chicago.
The Tribune hasn't said anything for
several days about the repeal Of that
law of 1890 although it has failed to ac-
knowledge its awful blunder. The mys-
terry of it is how in the world that law
was repealed without any member. of
congress or the president ever finding
it out.

TEACHING BEET CULTURE.

Beet raising is so much more profit
able than wheat raising that the ordin-
airy farmer wonders how a man who
can make from $40 to 500 net profit
per acre wants other agriculturists
taxed for his benefit
But there is a great chance for the
farmers Of the United States in beet
culture if the estimates and concIu-
illusions Of some enthusiasts are to be
accepted without qualification. A Min
nesota newspaper gives an account of
two pieces of ground, each containing
ten acres. that wers planted in beets.
The crop was fifteen tons per acre. and
the price was $3.50 a ton, which made
the gross receipts per acre $3.50. The
cost Of raising was S27.75 an acre, 50
that the net profit was 1915 for each
acre in cultivation.
The western farmer who s0ws wheat
and reaps a net profit of S437 per
acre under an era of prosperity which
enables him to get the lowest price in
merchandise he ever received for his
produce, may we'll turn his attention TO
beet raising.
That many farmers are doing this is
evidenced from the calls made from
many western states for Utah farmers.
acquainted with the culture of the
saccharine root, to instruct others in
Its care and cultivation. Every week
or so we hear OF a demand for Utah

where irrigation and beet raising are

TRAITORS TO THEIR STATES

If senator's elected by free silver con-
stituencies-senators who accepted the
trust with lying promises on their lips,
senators who pledged themselves to
support bimetalIism to the end-had
been true to their states and cOnstit-
uencies, the gold standard bill which
passed the senate the other day would
have been defeated.
Who is responsible for the passage Of
that infamous measure, which creates
bank trust, replaces lawful money OBJ
legations with those of gold and makes
gold the unit of value?
Treacherous, skulking. and pretended
friends of silver-among whom Senator
ShOup stands prominent-did it.
Disguised as silver man, he sought
and obtained from his state the oppor-
tunity to aid the goldbug war on sill
yer.
No man can obtain favors from the
administration of the nature received
by Senators Shoup and Wolcott and
Warren and Carter and remain true to
the people Of the west. Men who go
to Washington to court the leaders of
the goldbug organization aid and en-
courage goldbug legislation, and when
the time comes, are sure to give it their
votes.
They count on a weakened. shuf-
fling. compromising element to excuse
and back them at home.
They expect to find a vindication in
evasive. stumbling. double-dealing
platforms. prepared by constituencies
party leaders in their respective states.
They are assured Of the defense of
the cowardIy but partisan press which
supports the administration while pre-
tending to stand by the interests Of the
people.
They are all in the same boat; sen
ators who howl for the free coinage of
silver, yet vote for the single gold
standard; newspapers that are fawning
friends of silver in the excitement of
battle, but sneak away like traitors in
defeat; partisans who meet in conven-
lions and try to straddle the issues Of
the campaign; they are all in the same
boat
And the sooner the voters of the west
rise up in their manhood and woman
hood and cast these political lepers out,
the better 1t viii be for the west and
for the cause Of bimetallism.

BILL FOR THE BANKERS.

The currency bill agreed upon by the
conference committee of congress does
not differ materially from the Repub-
lican caucus bill except that Senator
Aldrfch's resolution is tackled on-a
confession that the bill is bad, that its
authors know it is vicious, and that the
party was afraid to go before the
American people without some such
craven plea for mercy. even though
forced to 60 the bidding Of the Shy
locks
This bill provides for the demonetiza-
ton of silver by an open act of con-
gress, for the impounding Of treasury
notes, the humiliation of silver GER
tificates. and a provision that the
banks may issue notes to the full
amount Of their bonds and that the
government shall pledge itself to their
redemption.
II requires that the government in
crease the fnterest-bearing deb 90 the
amount OF all outstanding legal tender
government paper money TO make room
for the bank issues, and that the gov
eminent either tax the people for the
money or borrow it on bonds to redeem
outstanding silver dollars.
Il necessitates the establishment Of a
bureau Of issue and redemption which
shall issue notes to the bankers which
they in Turn viii lgar to the people on
which TO transact the business Of the
country while the government is to
be burdened with the responsibility and
expense of redeeming their notes in
gold.
The monumental cheek Of the bank
ers' trust il equaled only by the sub
servience with which the Republican
party accedes to its demands. The ad-
n3inistration is in the hands of this
usurers' combination and every Re
publican member Of congress realizes
that in order 20 stand any chance of
future houors at the hands Of his party
he must be the choice Of the bankers.
For twenty-five years, ever since the
demonstration Of silver in 1873, the
money power has been gradually
tightening its grip on the party of
special favOrs and centralized wealth.
but never until 1895 was an uncondi-
tional surrender of the party machinery
made to this gigantic money trust so
typically represented by Mark Harra-
The masses Of the party followed at
that time, deceived by the bimetalHo
subterfuge iH the platform and half

the men who voted the Republican

brazen betrayal Of the country by
these champions of the London money
trust is a matter of doubt. We are
