Looked Over Mining Property.

Ex-senator Marion Butler, of North
tended trip West, where he has been in
vestigating a number of mining prop
critics. He is at the New Willard.
THE prosperity now prevailing
throughout the country said Mr.. But
| Ter last evening, is not due TO ,Re-
publican Admin istration, but is due to
the fact that the output of gold is
enough to meet the business demands
of the country. And as long as the
output of gold continues tc keep pace
with the growth of the country just so
long will the money question, which has
not yet been settled, remain quiet. The
supply of gold today exceeds the sup
ply of gold and silver of 1896. when the
The Populists never contended for the
free coinage of silver because they were
opposed TO gold, but because there was
not sufficient gold TO meet the needs of
the people. And time has proved our
theory-the quantity theory of money
correct When cur gold supply fails to
keep up with the expansion of trade
and the natural increase in population
then will our prosperity cease, times be-
come hard, and once more will the
people be called upon to deal with the
money question"
Commenting on the political situation
ak Senator puf1pr said that a victory in
November would do the Democrats no
good, and would probably cost them the
Presidency in 1904. In his judgment, it
would be much better for the cause of
Democracy for the Republicans to con-
troll the next House.

Story of Wonderful Capture

Of no officer in the navy can so many
amusing stories be told as of that
Jolly, old sea dog" the late Admiral
Jouett. He was not only conscieE-
tious and brilliant officer, but one of the
kindest characters, the merriest souls,
the cleverest raconteurs that ever wore
the navy blue. A favorite tale with
him, and one that his cronies never
tired of hearing repeated, was his ac-
count of the capture of a blockade run
ner, which came about by his having
heard a rooster crow.

Admiral would tell, Il was a youngster
