lin and Heidelberg, who say the bond Is good and can still be collected. These lawyers say they have found that
 the bond differs from the good paper dollars that Representative Organ, of Dent, saved out of his salary while serving the Confederate army, in that the government that now exists Is de- scended from the original government of Bavaria, and is ruled by the descend ants of the duke who reigned in the six teenth century. The only danger is that when they see the bill the Ameri- can lawyer is about to present to them they will begin to throw doubt on the authenticity of their own family tree. Zuents, however, isn't losing sleep over the matter He lives as quiet, mod est German citizen of the quiet old cap- ital, within his means, honest and re- spected by his neghbors. He can trace his own ancestral tree back to the grantee of the bond, and hopes that the future has great things in store for. himself and his little family, but he isn't taking options on railroads UT en- flowing charitable institutions.

AN INTER ESTING CONTENT.

l The contest in Germany between the agricultural and the manufacturing in-
 terests is likely to have an important effect on the prosperity of that country,
 and also on the prosperity of some other
 countries. The question is whether the
 treaties favorable to German manufac- turers shall be continued or set aside in | favor of high protective tariffs against | the agricultural products of other coun- tries The interests of agriculture and
 of manufacture are about evenly bal
 primarily the interests of agriculture were far in the lead, of late years the
 government has been making treaties
 with foreign powers, such as Russia,
 Austria, Italy, Belgium Servia and
 Roumania, which forced the business of
 manufacturing to the front. These
 treaties gave German manufacturers
 ready access to the countries named,
 but they also provided for the admission
 into Germany of foodstuffs and other
 raw materials at low charge, or no
 charge, for import. The agricultural
 ists admit that Germany's commercial treaties have aided materially the growth of German manufacturing in- dustry by enlarging the markets abroad for it's productions. But they say that the freer admission of Russian, Aus trian and other agricultural produce, | which was the price paid for the en- largement, has proved disastrous to i! German farmers and landowners Un- 1 less, therefore, steps are taken to check the competition of foreign foods, the | peasantry, the backbone of German military strength and German loyalty, will decay. and then the country will be delivered over to the Socialists of the town. But, on the other hand, if the treaties favorable to the exportation of German manufactures are not contin- ued, the factories must shut down and the workingmen will suffer for want of employment. And the practical oues-

THOSE CURIOUS CUBANS.

Oh, those ungrateful Cubans! Why will they persist in looking a gift horse in the mouth? The United States
 fought and bled that they might be free, and now they are quibbling about
 the kind of freedom they shall have
 They wanted to be freed from Spain's
 dominion, and now they want to be freed from the dominion of those who freed them from Spain. It is astonsh- ing how unlimited the desire for free dom is, isn't it? What the preposter- ous Cubans are up to is thus reported l by Albert G. Robinson, the skilled ob- | server who is in Cuba Investigating the situation for the New York Evening
 Post: If it be assumed that independ-
 ence is the demand of the people, they
 will not be satisfied with any stuffed imitation of it, and more or less trouble will surely follow the refusal of the de- mand If it be assumed that only poli-
 ticians and their henchmen represent the independence element, it should be borne in mind that the United States has recognized that element, fostered it's hopes and aspirations, and has placed power in it's hands. I am satis- fled that this element has guns and ann munition at it's command, and that any bar to the carrying out of those hopes and aspirations, established as they are by our own act. would present the strong probability of serious trouble.
 It seems hardly possible that the Cu- bans are willing to fight again for what they call freedom. But if they are there doesn't seem to be anything to do but to show them that what we want is better for them than what they want It would be interesting if after licking Spain for their good we should also have to lick them for their good,

REFORM IN M4RKLEYrLLE.

| There is reform in Markleville, In- l made by women, of course it would be the real thing. They are never half hearted in reform movements and their executive ability in carrying out such movements is equal to their fer vor in thinking and talking about
 them Mrs. Nation, for instance. The
 reformers of Markleville, are, like Mrs.
 Nation, temperance reformers," but
 they do not use hatchets as she does,
 and it does not yet appear that they say "hell' as much as she does. But
 they know what they want just as we'll
 as she does, and they get it. Their
 theory is that if their husbands don't go
 to the saloons the saloons wont have
 business enough to encourage them to keep open. The leader of the Markle-
 vile reformers has decided that her
 husband isn't to help support saloons any longer The other night she got board suitable for her purpose and went to her husbands favorite saloon. She found him with half dozen other men seated about a card table with glass of beer In front of him. She grabbed him by the neck and, seating herself in chair, pulled him across her lap, face down, and applied the board vigor- ously The husband made a feeble ef- fort to get up but found the wife much the stronger After tiring of welding the board the irate wife took her hue- band by the ear and led him to the other saloons and warned him always to remain away from them, and then went home Three other women also led their husbands from the saloon by the ears.
 This method of discouraging saloons isn't quite as ferocious as Mrs. Nations, but it may in the long run be quite as effective.

MIR. ZUENTS' BILLIONS.

l He is Willing to Make Discount for
 Cash on His Bavarian Bond
 AS good as a government bond means something genuine in this coun-
 try--good for just what 1t says. But there lives in Jefferson City German who holds single bond that on it's face ] is worth more than all the government
 bonds the United States ever issued,
 and he Is wondering what it is worth. ! In 1867 there lived in Upper Bavaria
 one John Schobur, man of some digni- | ty, who performed valiant service for the then Duke of Upper and Lower Ba-
 varia Just what that service was the
 information obtainable at this late date
 does not specify, but the reigning duke
 issued to him bond for two thousand guldens, worth approximately two thou sand dollars In American money, The
 bond bears interest at the rate of per cent, compounded every year, and no part of the principal or interest on it has ever been paid. It is this bond that is the hope and pride, largely hope, of a German family now living at Jeffer- son City. If it did not have to be dis counted it would be worth the snug sum of seven billion dollars-more money than the Goulds, vanderbilts, Rocke- fellers, Senator Clark, Astors, Armours and the other well-to-do men carry in their bank accounts. The rate of inter- est and the contract makes the face value of the bond double every fourteen years, and as this has been going on for three and one-half centuries, the in- terest for one year alone would be a fortune.
 The possessor of the bond, Adelbert Zuents, claims to be the lineal descend ant of John Schobur. The bond has been handed down from generation to generation. but as far as known no ef- fort has been made to cash 1t. The ear ly holders of the bond may have had prudential reasons for not presenting it in the disturbed condition of affairs which. as the weather prophet would gay. was normal in Central Europe for few centuries after the bond was signed
 To the family the bond was long a source of pride, but the American de- scendant has developed utilitarian ideas, and wants the cash. He is will ing to make a reasonable discount for cash in hand. There is every reason for believing that he would throw off the accrued interest of a century or two if the principal and interest of the re- centuries can be turned to good American dollars.
 Even then Zuents could buy a shoe | factory, a railroad or two and a couple | 1f packing houses and live in peace and | luxury for the remainder of his days. l The bond says the duke or his heirs will [ pay the grantee of the bond on presen- | tation, but the duke departed this life some four hundred years ago, and his heirs may deny their responsibility for lis contracts. However, Charles Gin .er lawyer of Indianapolis, has un- lertaken to collect the bond on a per- ,entage basis. He has connected. by with attorneys at Ber-

Sherwood s. Thompson for Mayor.


 To the Editor of the Journal and Courier
 There seem to be quite number of gentlemen in the republican ranks who are perfectly willing to become mayor of this city. but it seems to me that in 1 selecting candidate 1t should be one 1 who has had some experience in munich | pal affairs and who is thoroughly con- versant with the requirements of this growing city, and in looking over the list of available men for that office there is not one who would All the bill mere acceptably and conscieneiously than Hon. Sherwood S. Thompson. He is a gentleman that has served the city several terms in both boards of the Common Council been a member of the Park commission and a member of the Board of Education. In each position he gave unusual satisfaction to all parties.
 For mayor a gentleman is wanted who has business qualifications and has been a known success, as was hint ed at in General Bradley's admirable address to the Business Mems Associa- ton last Thursday evening, MT Thompson has always been a success in managing his own business, which is one of the largest of the kind in New England, and as city official while in office he was diligent and sure-footed every time.
 Several years ago MT. Thompson was asked 10 become a,candidate for mayor, but he declined to have his name used in that connection. We believe his nom jnation. if he could be prevailed upon to accept, would mean an election.
