If Mr.. Bryan had delayed little
longer his visit to Mexico he would not
have found any silver question there
to study. That country is on the
verge of discarding the silver standard
as others have done and instituting the
gold standard. a recent governmental
order provides that the customs dues
must hereafter be paid i'm gold. and
other measures having like end in
view will be adopted as fast as the
country is prepared to receive them.
The government is tired of receiving
in silver and paying in gold, foreign
capital is discouraged by the present
state of affairs, and the heavy dis
crimination against her in exchange
paralyzes her merchants. The gold
value of Mexico's imports last year
was $65, 900 900, for which she paid $147,-
100000 in silver, an object lesson of
which she finds no difficulty in master
ing the import.

The Fashionable Query.

I've got cold with snuff1es in;
What kind of a cold have you?
I've got the kind that makes me sin
BY craving fizzes made of gin
And other stuff with bad booze in
What kind of a cold have you?
I've got the kind that makes one hoarse
What kind of a cold have you?
To speak requires my utmost force;
My voice is rough and harsh and coarse
And strains it's laryngital source
What kind of a cold have you?
Fzs-D
I've got cold that makes me mad
What kind of a cold have you?
That makes ME reticent and sad,
That puts me plainly to the bad,
The worstest cold | ever had
What kind of a cold have you?

| Undoubtedly no class of people are
1ore severely subjected to the weather
han officers Of the law. Probably no
class of people suffer as result OF snch
aarsh treatment any more than they
with rheumatism. There is hardly
! policeman, sheriff or marshal that has
not had it-and badly, too. In q great
many cities "Blood Wine" is recon-
mendcd by the heads of the police de-
partments, and officers are told to use it
when subjected to long spells of inclcm-
mt weather. Every officer who has ever
aiken "Blood Wine'' for rheumatism
speaks of his experience about as Mr..
Espich, the city marshal OF New Phila-
lelphia, Ohio, does. He says:

His was case of aggravated rheu-

an old stubborn case Of long standing,
one that broke out in intense fury with

older brother went to dinner, leaving
Dick in charge, and giving him in

back to take $25 off the price of a

that they had decided to take the
piano, and passed over the money to
pay for it. Dick looked at the money,
pondered a minute and announced:
"Um! I'm! My brother told me to take
twenty dollars off the price!"

Few years in our time have had SO
many great events, destined to have a
wide and permanent influence on the
worlds future. as are written in the
records of 1902. We do not refer to
those which were merely great oc-
currences. like the calamity on
Martinique. the coronation of Edward
VII. and the ending of the Boer war,
but to those events which We're impor-
tant in their creative energy and
which will move the human machinery
of the world in coming years. There
was the visit of Dr. LorenZ and his
introduction of "bloodlesS surgery in
our country; there was the triumph of
wireless biography; there was the
founding of the Rhodes scholarships;
there was the irrigation bill which
means so much to the great West;
there were the definite beginnings
toward the isthmian canal; there was
the triumph of Industrial arbitration in
the coal strike and of international
arbitration in the Venezuelan matter.
These were epoch-making events.

And now the Chicago Tribune brings
forward its annual compilation of the
grewsome suicide statistics Its fig
ures. which are accepted as the most
accurate to be obtained, show that dur
ing 1902 about 800 people in this coun-
try took their own lives. This is an
appalling total, though only one to
about every 10000 population. In 1901
the total number of suicides was 72i5
Disapointments in love and domestic
unhappiness continue to be the leading
causes of suicide, and carbolic acid the
favorite agency. The most startling
feature in suicide statistics for the year
is the remarkable increase in the num-
Der of female victims. For a long
series of years past the record has
shown ratio of about four men to
one woman, but this year three times
as many women have committed
suicide as last year, the exact figures
being: Males, 5032: females, 3099. Such
a change is hard to account for.

"The Historical Society of Minnesota

is undoubtedly true, but this writer

him from blackboard at a distance of
200 yards" Now there are big deer in

shot. nor is Mollielucka chuckemuck

To Decide Status of Bonds.

A demurrer to the complaint in the
case of the state of North Dakota
against D. H. Mcmillan, state treas
urer. was argued before Judge Fisk
of the district court Friday night by
Judge Corliss. The court took the
matter under advisement and it is
expected u decision will be handed
down soon. Judge Fisk will decied
the question as to whether the pro-
posed institution bonds are state
bonds, and if such. are they of class
that would require them to come with
in the constitutional amendment that
limits the states bonded Indebtedness
to 100000. He will also be required
to decide whether or not the state
treasurer is liable for the amount for
which the action is started Il What
ever the decision, the case will be ap-
.pealed to the supreme court, and that
tribunal wilk in it's decision, also
solve the question as to the future of
the bonds authorized by recent legis-
latures for the several state institu-
tions, aggregating about $750,000.
