No Contraction

Editor Independent: | heard a
banker say some time ago that the
ten and twenty-dollar silver certii-
Gates were being contracted. III fact,
he said, II would almost be willing to
give a cigar for every bill of these de-
nominations; they are being redeemed
by the government in silver dollars
and then destroyed is bound
to make times harder"
H. C. ROMlNCER.
Bloomfield, Ia.
(Such redemption could make no
change in the UNCONVENTIONAL sum OF
money in circulation. When the GER
tificates are out, the dollars are in; and
when the dollars are paid out, the
certificates are inland it cannot make
any difference whether they are de-
stroyed or kept in a vault: they can
rot go into the circulation until the
dollars come back.
The only possible way the circula-
ton of money could be affected by this
redemption would be in the matter of
velocity, or movement. Paper money,
being more easily transported, doubt
less moves with greater quickness;
but, on the other hand, single dol
lar tends to change hands more rapid
ly than ten or twenty. AS The In
dependent views it, this redemption
cannot cause ntraction of the cir
oulating medium. Certainly not in
the UNCONVENTIONAL sum, and hardly
likely as to the velocity.-Ed. Ind.)

INDIANA POpULIsTs
They would Support Bryan Again bat they
Cast . Different horoscope for tho

Year 1904
Editor Independent: Mr.. Bryan is
evidently angered by the Denver meet
ing. / am surprised by the severity of
lis criticism. Mr.. Bryan seems to
think that the fusion of 1900 was in
tended to be perpetual. The Sioux
Falls convention selected national
committee to do such things as COM
mittees usually do until the next con-
vention meets, but Mr.. Bryan seems
to think that our committee should ex-
PRESS no views until after the demo-
Gratis take action and attacks mere
form.
In this state Mr. Bryan pins his faith
to the vacillating John w. Kera, who
was chairman of the democratic state
convention in 1902, which repudiated
the Kansas City platform. Mr.. Bryan
criticised the platform, but advised
democrats to vote the ticket. Popul-
lists did not do So Recently he has
repeated this advice to Iowa demo-
Gratis. In view of these facts, we are
wondering what he will do next year
provided his party straddles. IT Bry-
an should be the candidate again the
ropulists of Indiana would support
him as they did in two previous cam
paigns, but he cannot name any other
man who could hold the populist vote
to the democratic ticket.
If Mr.. Bryan will reflect, he will re-
member that populists charged Cleve-
land with being a "bunco steerer' sew
eral years before he himself was will
ing to admit it, and it is possible that
they are still in advance in casting
the horoscope for 1904.

NORTH DAKOTA POPULISTS
General Standish Issues Call For Organi'

EoufArAneA
Conference

Former Attorney General w. II.
Standish, of Grand Forks, N. D., was
selected as member of the Denver con-
ference national committee, AMI has
already taken up the work OF enrolling
the populists OF North Dakota. The
following address and call has been
given out by General Stardish:
TO the Press and the Public of North
Dakota: The executive committee OF
the populist party, reorganized AT Den
yer, July 20, has appointed me to
become one of the national committee
for North Dakota, to proceed to aid
to reorganiZe in the state, which /
lave consented to do.
To this end ask each paper of the
state to give free publication tC the
following call, and each citizen to cut
cut the call, paste it on paper and OBJ
tain signatures, and retain the list for
future use in local organization; and
to create local and county committees.
and have these confer with me, until
we shall hold a state convention and
select a more able and suitable chair
l1an for the state organization.

CALL.
We hold that God made all public
necessities for the common good Of
nan, and that He intended govern
nlents to own, operate and control all
public matters, which include public
necessities. And that ownership OF
anything is necessary to the harmoni-
GUS operation and control of it; and
that the benefits of city ownership and
city operation of all city public neces-
sites has been demonstrated in Man
chester, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh,
Brussels, Berlin and many other cities
III Europe and elsewhere.
That government ownership and OPP
Grafton of railways and other public
necessities prevails in Belgium, Ger
many, Denmark, Russia, New Zealand,
the Australian colonies and to GER
tain extent in Norway, and has dem
onstrated its superiority in all in
stances.
To this end it is necessary that the
government sho-ld have it's own for
ests, mines Of coal and iron to con-
struct, repair, and fuel to operate its
railways, and protect the public.
Further, that God, the Creator of all
public necessities, is wiser and better
than man, and that He created these
necessities for man, and endowed man
with the ability to govern himself and
all his own public affairs, or monarchy
is the proper government. And that
we should not disregard God to follow
the agencies and classes which TO-"
Eve thousand years taught the divinity
Of monarchy, slavery and the slave
trade. Nor affiliate with these politi-
cally in warfare against the purposes
OF God.
We therefore subscribe ourselves

reorganized at Denver, which favors

who once ruled over Chicago. The
spectacular event of the opening pro-
gramme came at night, when tons OF

Kansas City, Mo-. Sept. 27.-Peaee
was patched up between the Buchanan
and Parks factions in the incarnation
al Association of Bridge and Structural
Ironworkers at their annual convention
here Saturday forenoon. President
Buchanan had scarcely called the con-
vention to order in regular session
when the Parks crowd expressed de-
sire to ignore the proceedings of their
own rump convention Friday, and pro-
coed in a regular way. Then the con-
yention took a formal vote on the mo-
ton to reconsider the vote by which
Daniel Brophy, a member of Local NO.
. and who held a proxy from Scran-
ton. Pa, had been seated. Brophy
was unseated by a good majority. AS
he arose to leave the hall, SAMUEL
PARKS ADVANCED TOWARD HIM
WITH EXTENDED HAND. Brophy
refused to shake hands with the New
York walking delegate until the latter
apologized for the singing words d.
-ected against Brophy on THURSDAY.
This Parks did fully, and when the
door closed upon Brophy the conven-
lion settled down for the first peace
able session since they convened last
Monday. The convention ,hon was
formally organized, and stopped long
enough in their quarrels to listen TO
the annual address of President Bu-
chanan. which was to have been de-
liyered on Tuesday.

THE CHEAPEST KILOGRAMS.
Charges for Service Are Lower In
Australia Than in Any other
Country.

The Australian commemorative
telegraph service is the cheapest in
the world. 1t is operated entirely by
the government as part of the postal
system, says the Review of Reviews
For city messages, which include a
suburban area of radius OF ten miles
beyond the city limits, the rate Is
u cents for messages of ten words
and the address, for messages of the
same length to any point within the
same state--and the states are gener-
ally very much larger than any Amer
lean stale--the charge is Is cents,
while for similar messages to any
station within the commonwealth-and
from northampton, to Queensland,
20 Perth. in West Australia, the dis
lance Of wire Is more than 4,500 miles
the uniform charge is a cents.
1t is calculated, on the basis of past
experience, that these rates will re-
turn a revenue sufficient to pay oper-
ating expenses of every kind, includ-
ing toe cost of maintenance, and in
addition interest on the original ex-
rensc OF construction amounting to
s''!ly $1S,000,000. Australians send
more than twice as many messages
over the lines at the lower rates as
Americans do at the present charges

of the late Queen Victoria, valued at
$50 900, received in commentator
of the iftieth anniversary of her &C
cession to the throne of England, Will
arrive in ST. Louis Sunday.
The invoice for the valuable consign-

the world and by the United tSates
The invoice received recites that the
iunilee gifts comprise SO caskets OF
gold and silver and jewels. The in
trincis value is placed at $4,000, but
the value to the royal family OF En-
gland can not be estimated. The gifts
will be placed in bond at double the in
voiced value, and will be in the imme-
date charge of the government officials

ELOQUENT IRISH EYES.
They Tell of Great Love of Country
and Devotion to Re-
IigiOn.

The eye Is what the soul makes 1t,
and. like a true indicator, it records the
character OF it's possessor. The Irish
eye most eloquentlv bespeaks the char
acter of Ireland's people, says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer
Deep and blue as the great waves OF
the ocean, tender and sparkling as the
loyelight of the stars, brave and fearless
as the heart of steel-clad warrior, peer
less eyes of blue! The undying patriot
ism of generations, the faith in theil
holy religion, and the matchless wit and
humor, the bright optimism, which
however dark the clouds may be, can al
ways see the silver lining-all these are
beautifully blended in the azure orbs OF
Erin's children-ideal eyes of blue.
The laughing eyes Of Frances daugh
tiers are charming indeed, luminous are
the midnight orbs of the sunny Italian
maiden mild and blue are those of the
light browed children of the Rhine,
soft and sweet the eve Of the golden
haired English lassie; but for beauty
and depth of meaning there is none like
the true, honest blue of the Shamroc
land, sweet eyes of heavens own hue.
