Don't Exchange Gold Bonds
For Coin Bonds.

TO the Iowa County Democrat.
The momentous question that has
been formulated and promisculously
scattered about the premises OF cau3i-
date w. ]. Bryan, hoping he would
pick it up, has not yet secured his at
tention, and perhaps 1t never will; for
the very sufficient reason, that If six
national political conventions, en-
bracing a representation OF over five
thousands representative men OF the
nation, thought 1t unworthy OF their
consideration, it is not likely to en-
gage the attention of the people of the
country to any alarming extent on the
eve of general election.
The question thus Indirectly aimed
at Mr.. Bryan by the overweight
imagination of an unrepresentative
laymau, may be briefly stated thus:
"If you were President would you or
der the U. S. bonds which are made
payable in "coin," to be paid in gold
or silver?"
The political genius who gave birth
to this interrogatory, imagined it to
be a live wire, both ends OF which are
positive, and would create blood-co-
agulating shock from either end he
might take hold of.
Now just few words to quiet the
perturbation and evaporate the mois-
ture of perspiration of this anxious
genius, we will answer:
The people of this government make
the laws as they want them. The peo-
pie wanted bonds issued and made
payable in "coin," which means either
gold or silver, or both; and those who
purchase them were content to take
them with the specific conditions:
therefore, we would suggest that the
question be put to the people as to how
they should be paid. and not to Mr..
Bryan; as he could pay them only in
the manner provided by law, as he
could neither make nor amend the law,
but only execute it as he finds it. He
would probably execute the law in
such maner as any other reasonable
man would maintain the relative guam
tity of coin as 1t now exist, aud as is
necessary to carry on the commercial
business of the country.
What burlesque on government it
would be to issue and sell bonds
payable in coin, aud then some
political party come into power that
would insist on redeeming the bonds
in gold, and to do this would necessi-
tate the reduction OF the gold reserve
fund below the 500, 0O0. 900 limit, on
account of which gold bonds would
have to be issued to replenish the re-
serve fund, the consequence of which
would be, that the coin bonds would
be exchanged for gold bonds, while
the treasury would be grooming under
burden of other coin with which the
people OF the country must suffer
great inconvenience, while the gold
would lie In the vaults of Wall street
for speculative purposes with foreign
nations.
But as this question Of paying the
coin bouds was nsver thought of by
either of the six national conventions,
the few Iaymen who are now trying to
urge it into the campaign, had better
'can'' it end open 1t for the next

Umpire Gave Satisfaction.

Cor. Galena Gazette: Amasa Cobb
Wilson of Minneapolis, and former
Mineral Point, boy was in Mineral
Point during the fair. He was here
last year and acted as umpire for the
ball games and gave such general
satisfaction that he was again filling
the position at the fair and everybody
speaks well in the way he managed
the work. We believe he has been
careful and correct In his decisions.

American Society Girls Are
 Piggish, Says Ethel Barrymore

should happen to touch on anything that the real men of our country are doing--the men who are accomplishing g things--or If you should venture into an intellectual discussion Of political Issues or problems or of books or any of the various multiple interests which might appeal to one of any mental ca paeity, you would be stunned as d frightful bore.
 "The women of wealth are merely selfish and piggish and are utterly content with comfortable living quar- ters, a good dinner. little porridge or bird, a rapid automobile or two. They are empty shells and perfectly mean snglass and useless to the country"
 Miss Barrymore hastened to add that in declaring that American women are not intellectually equipped for nobIe- mems wives she did not refer to the great middle class-the working or the accomplishing class. but only to so- ciety girls.

 She expressed the opinion that the reason international marriages with American society girls have proven a failure is because the brides have not enough mentality, culture. to interest the foreign nobleman or to meet the requirements of the situation they find.

"DeviI's Auction" st the Grand.


 Perhaps it was the habit of theatra going, perhaps 1t was from the habit of going to the Devils Auction, or maybe is was from some of both that induced the audience to witness Thursday nights offering at the Grand; maybe it was the combinat. on of both that caused the audience to applaud certain points in the action where virtue triumphs over evil. how ever, from whatever cause the au- dience did applaud at certain points but not enough to warrant the orches- tra leader to grant an encore.
 And yet last nights performances was amusing. Intensely so. Now the grand Calph. or whatever he called himself. was a circus. all the side shows and the menagerie all by him self. During the tournament in the golden palace, whenever he opened his mouth there was a laugh,-but it wasn't from any comedy that an actor could be proud of.
