MONEY MICROBES DANGEROUS.

"Clean money" was argued for
before the House Committee on
Banking and Currency by Congress
man Gaines, of Tennessee. Mr..
Gaines charged that the government
was largely responsible for making
the paper money of the country
'unclean by sending it to China,
Japan, the Philippines, Cuba, Porto
Rico and other countries, and it
should bear the expense of redeem
ing it, paying the transportation
charges and all other expense"
Mr.. Gaines asserted that a single
ball, which had been in circulation
in Cuba and returned to the treasury Y
for redemption, contained 232 diff
ferent kinds of microbes. These
microbes, he asserted, were hungry
and would joyfully feed on the
mucous membrane of either a Demo
crat or Republican. Physicians of
Philadelphia, he said, had been ex-
amining filthy money in that city
and had declared it full Of germs.
Describing how these germs might
get in their deadly work, Mr.. Gaines
detailed what man carried in his
trousers pocket: His money, car
tickets, tooth-pitck, knife, handker-
chief and in cold weather his hand.
When he stroked his moustache or
replaced his eye glasses he ran the
risk of conveying the hungry germ
to his nose or eyes.

Fhe fact that it is the best

In honorable memoir Of the hero

6, 1882, near Parker's Ferry, on the
Upson county side of Flint river.
General Gordon was, perhaps, dearer

WAR SONG WRITER DEAD,

Mrs. Annie Chambers Ketchum,
author of The Bonnie Blue Flag"
one of the most inspiring songs of
the Confederacy, as well as many other
poems and prose writings, died last
week in st. Vincent's Hospital, New
York, after less than weeks i'll
ness, in her S0th year. Her poem,
ga Battle CALL" was another fav-
orite among the soldiers Of the Con-
federacy. When Memphis was oc-
cupied by the Federal troops Mrs.
Ketchum refused to take the ''iron-
clad" oath of allegiance and was
banished from the city by the mill
tary authorities.
These war songs were, however,
only small part of Mrs. Ketchum's
literary work. Mrs. Ketchum came
of a long line of distinguished Vir-
ginia and Kentucky ancestry.

AN IMPENDING CONFLICT,


When Napoleon made his famous
prophecy that eventually the world
would be all Cossack or all free, he
meant, we take it, that finally the
result would be worldwide contest
between Russia and the United
States-the Russian principle against
the American principle of govern:
ment, and we believe that sooner or
later that conflict will come.
Russia aud the United States are
the great undeveloped powers of the
earth. Each possesses vast unde-
veloped territory of its own, and each
has contiguous territory, which, by
force of arms or by other means,
may be annexed. Russia already
has Siberia, which is an empire with
in itself. 1t has secured foot-hold
in Manchuria, and it has ambitions
to acquire China and Japan and
possibly India. If this ambition
should be realized Russia would have
an enormous territory, containing
more than half the inhabitants of
the globe.
On the other hand, the United
States may acquire Canada, on the
north, and Mexico and Central
America and South America, on the
south, thereby putting it in possession
Of the Western Hemisphere.
just what would become of the
other powers of Europe in the event
of such condition were q matter of
the vaguest speculation. But if
Russia should control the Eastern
Hemisphere and the United States
the Western Hemisphere, England,
France, Germany, Italy, Spain and
all the smaller powers would be COM
PEELED to take sides with one or the
other of the great powers.
Then would come the great con-
fiict between Two principles of gov
ernment diametrically opposed-the
Russian principle of the man for the
government and the American prin-
ciple of the government for the man.
The conflict will not come in this
generation, but there are many signs
that it will come by and by.

clared he had reason to believe was
offered him as a bribe to. vote for
Clarke, bnt from whom he had re-
ceived it he refused to divulge.

HICKS FEBRUARY FORECASTS,

Wide areas Of rain and snow and
sleet will pass eastwardly across the
country during the 1st to the 4th,
but the storms of this period NAV
not reach blizzardous proportions
until after that date. CLOUDY, muir.
ky, sleety weather will continue in
all probability into the reactiobary
period central on the 9Th, 7th and
9Th. Much threatening weather,
with severe winter storms are almost
certainties during the frat eight to
ten days of February. This will
prove one of the most general and
destructive sleet periods of the vim
ter, and at least one severe cold wave
may be counted on. Two are quite
probable, one not far from the lst.
and another on and about the 7th
and Sth.
The third storm period is central
on the 18th and reaches from the
10th TO the 10th. Falling barometer
and general storms of rain and snow
will return about the 14th, 18th and
10th. This period will culminate
about the time of the new moon on
the l6tb, bringing storms of a tropi.
cal nature southwark, with change to
blizzardous features in the west and
north. This period is also prolonged
by the new moon on the 1eth almost
mp to the reactionary storms about
the 18th and 10Th. If rising barom-
eter and cold wave follow immediate.
ly after the new moon on the 10th,
a sudden revulsion to storm condi.
tions will reappear about the 18th to
goth. These storms will also be fol.
lowed by "a high barometer and cold
wave about the Goth to the 22nd.
The last regular storm period for
February is central on the cath, it's
disturbing influence reaching from
the 22nd to the 27th. The first
stages of this period will bring
change to much warmer in western
parts-winds will change to souther.

In his salt to compel the execu-
tors of his fathers estate to allow
him to spend the income of between
one and two millions. Burnett Young,
Tiffany's New York counsel, has sub
mitted an estimate showing that it
costs millionaire with wife $34-
500 a year to live in New York. The
estimate shows that Mr. Tiffany
judges clothing to be twice az expen-
sive as food, for he allows $la,000
for apparel and only $4,000 for table
expenses. When questioned by the
lawyers Mr., Tiffany said that he
could not possibly live on less than
$50, 900 year. His fathers will
gives him an income of $4,000
year, to be increased at the discretion
of the executors. OF late he has
been drawing $4,000 q year, it is
said, going into debt. He has a di-
vorced wife, but does not pay her

ses. Here are the principal items in

THE POOR PRISONER,

tAuthor of the following beautiful lines)
During ex-President Cleveland,
administration as Governor of New
York there died very wealthy man
leaving his estate to his two sons
then In early manhood. In the d.
vision OF said estate serious dis
agreement arose between the two
brothers, and in an evil hour, "like
Gain" one imbrued his hands in his
brothers blood. He was arrested,
tried and convicted of murder in
the first degree and sentenced by the
Judge Of the trial court to the pen
atty of death. Being of wealthy
family and having many friends
they appealed to Governor Cleveland
to pardon him; but he declared that
ne could not do so, as the crime was
too revolving and, besides, the deed
was done with malice aforethought.
The friends Of the young man went
to their hotel in sadness. The Gov
ernor, thinking over the matter, sent
Tor them next morning and asked
them If Communication of sentence to
life imprisonment would be accept
able to them, and finding him inex-
orable they gTady accepted his proffer,
and the poor man went to Sing Sing

LEAP YEAR LOVE TEST.
Maids Begin Twelve Month Will
Token OF Courtship.


There is little token called the
"love test, which the flirtatious
maiden makes early in leap year and
sends to the young man she fancies
most. Or, if she is the typical girl
of 1904, practical, heart whole, and
fancy free, she sends several of them
to as many of her admirers.
Apiece of cardboard seven by nine
inches is selected and gashed in nine
places to admit ribbons from al inch
to an inch and-a-half in width.
These are selected in colors corre-
spending with those in the couplets
which are either lettered on the rib
bon itself, or on the ardboard above
it. Blue cornflowers, black pansies,
orange blossoms, yellow daises, fern
leaves, little brown button NUNS, red
carnations, heliotrope, and violets
may be painted in over the ribbons,
which hangi in long Irregular fringe
and which, if well selected, make a
beautiful color scheme when arranged
in the order mentioned.
The maiden who is not over bold
omits the white ribbon and uses it as
hanger, thus making more difficult
for the man to get it out, with the
consequently chance of tempting him
to the coveted proposal If the
flowers are used these couplets are

MISS SEEDS POSITION.

To the Editor of The Republican. Sir:
 In behalf Of Miss Seeds. the Five Points teacher, who was mentioned in yesterday mornings Republican as having TO certificate and therefore uot qualified to teach in the public schools. an explanation is due Miss Seeds. came to Phoenix last fall on temporary leave of absence from the public schools of Cleveland, Ohio. where she held a high position. Through the so- hcitations of educational people here. who understood her value. she resign ed her position in the east and took up the work of private tutoring. win ming for herself the reputation of be- ing a peer in primary methods. As soon as she had demonstrated her abil- fly as teacher, efforts were made to secure her services in the public school work, and when Miss Richmond resign ed from the Five Points school. Miss Seeds was appointed to fill the vacan- cy. While she did not hold a territo- rial certificate her college and normal training. in addition to her recognized ability as an instructor, was deemed sufficient until she could obtain a certi- hcate at the spring examination which she agreed to take. At the time of this examination, however, the ques-
 ton of a public Kindergarten was be- Ing agitated by the public schools and the WOman's club of Phoenix and Miss Seeds was asked 10 prepare a class to illustrate the benefits to be derived from the public kindergarten and was
