The announcement Of the death of
John Flood of Duluth, state treasurer
Of the Ancient Order of Hibernians,
from 1902 to 1906 and charter mem
ber of Division No. l of st. Louis
county, will be received with deep re-
gret wherever he was known, and it
is but just to say of him that he had
friends in every section of the state
friends who will remember him for his
genial disposition. oren-hcarted gen.
erosity, honesty and integrity. Sturdy,
honorable, kind, manly to the last de-
gree and always faithful TO the best
interests OF the community in which
he had spent the greater portion of his
life, Duluth has lost Il splendid type
of citizen In the passing away of John
Flood. True to both God and country,
one Of natures noblemen. he has gone
to his eternal reward. Peace be to his
kindly spirit.

PENNSYLVANIA AND TEXAS.

Pennsylvania is the staunchcst Re-
publican state in the Union. 1t is as
Republican as Texas is Democratic.
Anyone labeled Republican is sure to
carry Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is
considered Il conservative state. while
Texas is looked upon AS the home of
radicalism. Pennsylvania is the home
of business interests, while Texas is the
state of farmers and ranchers. Penn
sylvania is a great industrial state:
Texas is looked upon as unprogressive.
A little comparison in political meth
DDS between these two great states is
not out Of place.
Pennsylvania represents in business
way what the North is very proud of.
Texas is a good representative of the
old South. Pennsylvania sends mil
lionaires to congress: Texas sends ora
tors and constitutional lawyers. The
two representatives of Texas in the
United States Senate. Culberson and
Bailey, are in intellect and education
unsurpassed by the representation of
any other state in the Union in the
Senate of the United States. Both are
constitutional lawyers of wide reputa-
tion. Pennsylvania, until recently, was
represented in the United States Sen.

CIVIL WAR COINS.
A Metallic Currency Was Contempt
by the Confsderacy,

That the Confederate government
contemplated the issue of metallic
currency is certain. though coins dis
tinctively associated witN the Confed-
eracy never appeared in general cir
culation. Designs for half dollar
and cent were made, dies cut and a
few coins of each denomination struck
in various metals. These coins now
rank high with American collectors,
says the New York Sun.
1t was some time after the war
seventeen or eighteen years-that the
first evidence Of the existence of a
Confederate half dollar came to light.
In January, 1879, B. F. Taylor. NJ. D.,
secretary and treasurer Of the Louis
lana state board of health, wrote to E.
Mason, Jr., a we'll known Philadelphia
numismatist, and informed him that
he had the Confederate coin in his
possession. A good deal of doubt was
at first felt about the coins genuine
ness, but investigation revealed the,
fact that at least four silver fifty
cent pieces were struck by the Con-
federate authorities at the New Or
leans mint in 1861.
1t seems that when the Confeder-
