SOIIND IN PART.

President Roosevelt advises the
Congress to "take up the matter OF
our currency and see whether 1t Is NOT
possible to secure an agreement IN the
business world for bettering the sys-
tenn and suggests the retirement OF
the greenbacks, the securing OF great
er elasticity In the currency, aud the
making OF silver dollars redeemable
In gold ut the option of the holder.
In this recommendation Mr. Roose-
Welt speaks out the sound political
economist. He might have gone still
farther ia the same direction, aud
urged the reduction OF tariff taxation
to purely revenue basis. And the
congress would, perhaps, be as likely
to act upon his advice in the one case
as In the other. So long as senator's
and representatives In the national
legislature have the fear OF dema9ogy
before their eyes, the greenbacks Will
not be retired. The public clamor
which prevented the retirement of all
these due bills, ~ recommended by
Secretary McCulloch In 1868, eXerted
II very harmful influence upon subse-
quent financial legislation. With
President Roosevelt recommending It's
betterment, what becomes of the
arrogant claims of those writer's and
speakers who insist that our currency
system Is oil right? OF course IT
might be worse; but doubtless IL
might be n great deal bottor.

THE PEOPLE IMAGINE
A VAIN THING,

The New York Poet makes the fol-
lowing thoughtful observation upon n
prevailing evil tendency OF the times;
"Discontent with local government,
city and state, Is an unmistak-
able symptom OF our times. Men
have come to think that governments
of their immediate creation are inelll-
cient and corrupt. Boards of alder
men are said to be incompetent and
rotten. State legislatures are held to
be as incapable as venal. Therefore
the cry is, let Us go direct TO the great
fountain of purity and wisdom ut
Washington And the fountain Is
ready for us. Mr., Roosevelt Is as
prepared rs Louis XIV, to maintain
bod Of Justice where NIL individual
wrongs may be rightcd inTallihly. AS
we say few voices are raised In
protest, This Is the sort OF thing
Americans seem TO want just now
They imagine that the way To get n
pure and wise government is to cen.
trali2e NJ Washington the functions
of lot of foolish and corrupt local
governments. Some day the fallacy
of that will be painfully beaten into
our heads; but, we admit, 1t Is the
height of the present fashion, and
President Roosevelt naturally goes
with 1t.
II there Is anything new under the
sun, 1t Is not to be found in human
nature. The children OF Israel reject,
ed their judges, and their republican
form OF government, for king.
The people OF the United States of
America despise their local self

blessingsto come from strong
centralized national government mt

gether wrong. Loyalty begins Mt
home. Every public oliccr local or
national should be held strictly To
account for his public trust. but
patriotism should be eNemphhcd by
the true and laudable service of good
citizenship to school district, town,
village, ward and city as we'll as to
the state and nation, Good citizens
should bear in mind that the only
sure way to eNalt the state and nation
is 70 exalt the governments of their
immediate creation. Despise not men
nor governments of low estate.

His Judgment Verified.

Linden Southwest Wisconsin: The
drillers have struck jack in each of
of the three holes they have drilled
for Ross Brothers on their land lying
east Of Granville land aud mine. The
Messrs. Ross will start a shaft in a
few days. Mr.. Thomas Faul, late
foreman for Mason, is to have charge
of operations. Just 80 years ago
Mr.. John Ross, father of the present
owners, bought the LAID on which the
jack has now been struck Of Mr.
Thomas Jeffrey, ST., because he
believed the range now struck was
there. At that time, so far as indica-
tion8 went, the probabilities were
generally thought to be against him.
The outcome might say as usual
has verified his Judgment.

RADICALLY RIGHT.

Since the last election good deal
has been said as to whether the Dem
ocratic party should be radical or a
conservative party. Many urge that
above things it must be radical. Here
is what the Milwaukee Journal says
upon this important matter:
"The Democratic party must be rad
ical IN the future, but it must be along
sound economic lines, II it would no
forfeit It's chance of success before i
begins. "
AS usual the Journal is right lie
Democracy be radical, but Away

to much that Is called radicalism II
that it is radically wrong.
